Hi all,
I just got the Verizon Galaxy S4 and I acidentally updated to ME7. Needless to say I was ecstatic to hear that it was getting safestrap to bypass that pesky locked bootloader. Any who, one of the first roms I tried out was the Google Rom Edition which I found here. I followed the tutorial but I'm having trouble with the mobile data. It always shows a good signal but sometimes it just doesn't work. I tried the mobile data fix on the thread but no luck. Hope someone with a little more experience can help.
You have to go to mobile network settings which should open LTE on/off app, which allows you to toggle what network mode and use gsm/CDMA auto for 3G only and CDMA/LTE for 4g preferred. If it ever quits just switch to something else then switch back.

I have an eris, and I want to use it as a simple wifi browser. I ended my contract with verizon yesterday. Is there a way I can completely disable it from using verizon's network altogether so I can use it as a wifi browser? Is it really as simple as disabling the mobile network, or will that not completely disable it? Thanks
If the phone isn't still active in vzw system then you can't use it on that system for anything but 911 calls anyway. So yeah turn off 3g turn on airplane mode and use wifi only.

Hello,
I'm about to be an owner of one of these units, however I do not plan on signing up for tmobile service.
I had an HTC EVO View 4G and there were quite a few roms out there that disabled the sprint activation on boot and a script that disabled the radio. I think that script might still work, however does anyone here make any custom roms that automatically disables it?
I haven't really heard much talk about just using WiFi, who here just uses Wifi? How does it work and perform?
I use WiFi almost always when at home. No problems whatsoever.

Do you have a tmobile subscripttion on it as well though?
I don't want to use a subscription, just don't want my battery to die by having it connect to 3G or searching for it.

No I had unlocked it. I use airtel/aircel in India. It should work just the same I think. I keep it on airplane mode always. When I need net, I use WiFi or I get off the airplane mode and enable the mobile data to access internet. Simple as that. There is a setting in the buld.prop as well which allows me to restrict the mobile connection to 2g only thereby enabling me to receive messages if I want to. It saves the battery needed for scanning for 3g or lte network. So I guess shouldn't be a problem irrespective which network you are on.

Ok, I found this and I tried it.
You can 1st enable phone by editing the build.prop settings (need to be rooted for that).
Once that is done, you need to type in *#*#4636#*#*
It automatically opens a Testing Menu of Settings. This gives useful information including battery etc.
Under the Tablet menu, there is an option to disable the radio all-together. I haven't tried this , but I did try changing the network mode from 2g-3g-4g and it worked for that. I would still suggest you use the airplane mode and put on/off wifi as and when needed. I didn't try this because saw some people complaining that after disabling it, they were not able to re-enable the radio. So be-warned about this.
Hi everyone. I just got a Milestone 3 (Droid 3) from Alltel (the Alltel that was divested from the Verizon buyout), who is actually Atlantic Telecom Network. They are a great local carrier who has the best coverage in my area.
I rooted the phone, installed various wireless tether apps but whenever I use any of them, I instantly lose my 3G data connection along with a message that says "3G data link lost". Sometimes is comes back right after turning the hotspot off and other times I have to reboot. I am sure this is caused by a carrier setting because they want you to pay $20 more/month to enable tethering. Does anyone know anyway around this issue? It never happened with Verizon.
Thanks!
There is an app that avoid's detected called ClockworkMod Tether, it's worth a try.
It doesn't require root either if security is a concern

Thanks but....
I appreciate the help but ClockworkMod Tether is a USB tether solution, not a wireless hotspot. I have never had this happen before on other carriers.

Has anyone sucessfully done this with the One X+?
I was really hoping to be able to do this with my Nexus 7.
Yes, several times, have used both methods successfully but ultimately prefer to use Bluetooth...

How did you do this? FoxFi doesn't seem to work on the One X+

I am stock on the HOX+, just using Settings > More > Mobile network sharing - then just enable portable Wi-Fi hotspot from there. You can enable BT tethering in the same place.

can turn on hotspot
My phone is rooted and running the stock HTC rom. but i am unable to turn on wifi hotspot from settings menu; it keeps saying call 611..
Well you are suppose to have it with your current data plan from your cell provider. 611 is to call and have it enabled.

whats the point of rooting then!
AT&T will ask for a special package of data plan to use tethering. my understanding was rooting the phone will let u circumvent that
AT&T Teathering
If you download system manager and go into the systems apps section, there will be an app called "teathering guard". If you dissable the event called something like "ATT UI" teathering will work without having to switch to a different data plan. I can upload screenshots if needed.
Can you post those screen shots? I downloaded system tuner, clicked events, system apps, found tether guard and disabled all of the events, rebooted and it still isn't working. Elegancia att.
Also, the app "WiFi tether" doesn't work either. It fails at 'setting ad hoc mode' and doesn't broadcast the ssid.
Hello, I don't know if there is already a fix for this but I couldn't find one. I am using muniz_ri's TetherAddOn for the stock OB1 Lollipop firmware. I am using a MetroPCS GS5 running on the ViSX ROM by AxAtAx.
Only thing changed was my APN to regain data.
The only issue I'm having is that whenever 4G (WCDMA) is enabled, the Hotspot works wonderfully.
When 4GLTE is enabled under mobile networks, all devices say that they cannot connect to the Internet.
I am trying to figure out if the LTE uses a different Protocol or something else that blocks it out. If WCDMA works, why can't 4GLTE?
I'm not an android wizard but I do know some basics. This is just beyond my reach and would love to see if there is a way around that "block"
