Hi 4 all!
Today I've got my Gear S. After I inserted the SIM card in to it, I've tried to set-up the internet connection, but when I jump in to the Access point names, I can't add a new one. The menu is empty and I can' set-up anything. The mobile internet provider doesn't care about my problem, because they say they do not use Tizen OS and therefore don't offer any suggestions or help.
Please anyone can help me?

Have you updated your watch to the latest firmware/software also update the Gear manager to the latest
@Uniquebarbee: Tks for your interest about my problem! Finally I did it... I made the update for the OS and now I can add a new APN. Off course, the update doesn't resolve all my issues with the watch, but is good to know that I didn't throw away 400 Euro.
My real problem now, is that I don't have a device compatible with the watch (I did the update with a borrowed S5) to make all the tuning that is necessary... in fact I've got a Samsung galaxy note 10.1(2012) tablet and I was hoping to synchronize, but unfortunately it can not install the manager.
I can't understand why a lot of setting require a bluetooth connection, instead to use the wi-fi connection or better, the 3G on the SIM. The watch is not as independent as I thought and now I have to dig on internet to find how can I use it on full capacity.

Hi all,
been using the google maps app that comes with the HD2 a lot, but suddenly it won't load using mobile internet anymore.
It works fine over wifi, but it seems it doesn't want to use my dataplan anymore.
It doesn't matter whether i have 2g, 3g or hdspa connection, it just hangs on 'loading' or 'searching'.
I checked the connection with opera and it works fine, can load any webpage pretty fast.
What can i do to fix it? is there a way to reinstall it? I don't have a cab because it came installed on my HD2.
edit: after a soft reset it won't even load over wifi anymore!
Edit2: hmm, after another soft reset it will load over wifi again but still nothing over mobile connection
get the newest version from here mate, just install and it will delete you're previous version

Same problem here in Rotterdam. Was wondering what could be the problem, but since other people seem to have the same problem, it more than likely is the connection to T-Mobile's network again.....
As is the case with you, WiFi connection allows to start up Google Maps properly, however as soon as mobile network is used, Maps no longer works because of lack of connection to the network....

new version has the same problem
i read online that it may have to do with proxy settings but have not been able to resolve the issue
also, the guy at the t-mobile store was less than usefull (big supprise there)
I just spoke with the t-mobile helpdesk and they are already aware of the problem.
They told me it is a problem with the google server's connectivity and that some ppl can't even synchronise their gmail or other google services (haven't had that problem myself)
They're looking in to it so hopefully it won't take too long
Someone at T-Mobile has earned his/her salary this month: it's working again....
Hey guys,
First of all, I am new to the forum, but I have been reading it thus far. Now, I have a problem that I cannot solve. I did not find anything related with the problem I have. I need your advises and help.
I recently bought an Atrix 4g and trying to figure it out. I configured Apn connection and installed a software called 'apn on-off' to be able to disable or enable my internet. It works well, however, after enabling it, it takes so long/forever to connect the edge connection again. So I am not able to do anything online since it does not connect, or I must await a long time for it to connect again. Why am I having this problem?
Also, is there any way to manually update my programs such as weather and facebook, instead of waiting for them to automatically update themselves, which I don't want to ?
Lastly, when it connects to edge or wifi, all programs update themselves. It is annoying to me. I would like to use my internet manually, as I want it to connect whenever I want to use or click 'update', instead of connecting automatically, which is arbitrary. Is it possible? I miss my old HTC in this respect
Thanks in advance
Hey, everyone. Using your AMAZING n00b guide and overall lurking of this website for several months since January I've done quite a few awesome things with this phone. Currently I am running Cyanogen Mod 7.1.0-Ba2tF-Olympus (any further information how I got there can be provided if necessary). I'm having a slight issue though. I've noticed that sometimes I'll randomly have no data or cellular service what-so-ever. To gain access to data and cellular service at that point I will then have to restart the phone, wait for it to boot, turn on WiFi, wait for that to connect, use an application like Browser or Facebook to test connectivity, if data transmits then I'm good, then AND ONLY after I go through all that can I disable WiFi and connect through regular data and cellular channels. I was wondering if this has happened to any of you and if anyone had any idea on how to fix it?
If you need clarification I'd be more than happy to try and sort my explanation out for you.
Thank you all in advance and I hope to hear from you soon!
Hello,
Did your APN settings are good ?
You can found it there : Setting / networks / Mobile Networks / Access Point Name.
Where are you from, what is your carrier ?
Regards.
I am thinking you need to flash a new radio.
So I got a Gear S, paired it with my Galaxy S4 and S-Voice seemed to work well at home, but I found that it didn't work when I was outside. Nothing about S-Voice worked when I was out (except the wake up command "Hi Gear"). Doing a bit of testing I found that it worked when my phone was on Wi-Fi but it didn't work when my phone was switched to data. Oddly enough, S-Voice works from my phone regardless of the Internet connection it has, so this seems to be an issue with the Gear S. The error message I am getting on my Gear S is "Could not find network connection." Any ideas? Tips? Advice? (besides avoiding Samsung's crap, because that's all I've been hearing until now...)
On your gear is your mobile clicked on?

If you mean connected, then yes, they are connected. If I go to "Phone" on my gear and look for a contact and dial it, it finds the contact and dials using my phone. I control the music, etc, from my Gear without issues.
The only exception appears to be S-Voice on my Gear when the phone is using the data connection. This particular case is the only one not working.

Hmm, I'd say try resetting the gear

Same thing. I just reset the Gear to factory settings, re-connected it to my phone and when I disable the Wi-Fi on my phone, S-Voice on my Gear doesn't work (it still work on my phone). The error message it says is exactly this: "I can't find a network connection / Please connect and try again."
I also did a software update (it did update the firmware) but the problem persists.
I bet Samsung didn't even test this case. It seems like they just rushed everything to get the Gear S on the market and didn't give testers enough time to do proper testing and they didn't listen to any UX feedback.
Fixed!
I figured it out. ROOT REQUIRED.
For some reason the firmware was blocking my phone from sharing its data Internet connection. After a lot of digging I found that it has something to do with carriers, so at first I contacted tech support and they told me that "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot is definitely supported" and it's not blocked by them, which meant they weren't blocking Bluetooth tethering. To me it's still not clear whether or not the carrier can/could fix the issue, but I was sure it was a software issue so I kept searching for Wi-Fi hotspot apps and read as much as I could about them to avoid purchasing a bunch of useless apps. One of these apps got my attention as I read its description, before I even looked for more details:
This app will bypass all the apn restrictions for mobile tethering, recently included in Android releases.

Here is how I got S-Voice to work on my Gear S:
Root the phone
Install the Free Tethering Unlocker *ROOT* app from play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.kernelxp.freetether
Install BusyBox (required by the unlocker app) from play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox
Open the Free Tether Unlocker app and press the "Unlock my Tethering!" button
For some reason the Wi-Fi hotspot doesn't work at all any more (I can't see my phone as a hotspot, but I could see it and connect to it before, except I didn't get any Internet access on my laptop) but Bluetooth tethering works so now I can access the Internet with my laptop and I can use S-Voice on my Gear S. I'm still not sure why tethering didn't work by default because I got the phone without a contract and I didn't see any signs that it wouldn't work - it simply didn't without a warning.
I'm sorry for text links, the forum prevents me from posting externallinks.
Hi all
A while since posted but grateful for all info Ive learnt from this site re rooting etc.
Anyway my query...
What is different about these two settings?
first the background.....
I have a Nexus 4 with a contract that includes unlimited data and up to 4GB of tethering.
My provider has a website that shows a live figure for the amount of data ive used
Now the issue/question....
when I use the "portable wifi hotspot" on Kitkat I can tether my laptop or ps4 to it and it never registers any tethering use... Fantastic!
Then I updated to Lollipop and tried the same and it registers/uses all tethering unfortunately!
Not happy with this I rooted my nexus4 and reinstalled the official kitkat4.4 from the google developers website and thankfully its gone back to my network provider not being able to monitor my tethering use.
So what has changed?
Is there a way around this?
Im tempted to buy the samsung note 4 whilst its still on kitkat4.4 just purely for my tethering benefits but will there be software on that allowing the monitoring?
Thanks in advance for all/any help
Do you want to monitor the data which consuming from your device ?

No I dont want to monitor the amount of data Im using.
I want to continue tethering my laptop to my phones data plan without my network provider knowing, as I can with Kitkat4.4 but not with Lollipop5
Oh, I think it's cavity "lake" in kitkat an Google fixed it, in lollipop so you have to try finding a new method to do that. If you can explain more how you did that, I will try to help you.

Sorry Im not sure what cavity lake is.
As for how I did it. its simply the option in settings; wireless&networks; More; Tethering & portable hotspot; Portable Ii-Fi hotspot; Then I just ticked the box and it works perfectly, no method or extra apps required.
Its a UK issued nexus4 from google on a uk network if that makes any difference
Thanks
Maybe you should to install a hotspot app such as this app : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kr.core.technology.wifi.hotspot&hl=en .

Thanks for the suggestion, luckily ive rooted my phone back to 4.4 so all is working OK I'm just interested to know why, maybe a change in monitoring/tracing software by google?
Anybody else have an idea?
Or advise if Sammy note4 works OK?
Hey, late reply but what network was able to monitor your usage after upgrade? I'm on UK network and my Xperia has just been offered the 5.0 upgrade but I don't want to upgrade if it will limit my tethering.
