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"

Hey all, so my question is that I flashed MIUI coming from CM7 and 3g does not work,I see the 3g icon but using browser and and xda app just loads then says needs to be connected to a network. I asked this cause seems like no one else has the same problem on MIUI(Everyone seems to be on verizon network). I have a verizon fascinate on a none verizon network. CM7's 3g works fine just slower and all touchwiz base roms data works flawlessly(1000kbps to 2500kbps). I cant say its the network cause I'll flash back and forth and it always gives me the same results, touchwiz base roms(Stock,ComRom and EF 3.X)having the fastest network speed. Is it possible that the AOSP rom's network connection is only optimized for VzW. Can anyone confirm this?Sorry for the long post.
Tried different basebands (ED01,ED05,EC09) still the same result
First, let me say I searched threads and forums looking for someone who had same problem and could not find any posting similar. The only one I found that similar was about the APN. I created a new APN using the settings I found in that thread, but it has not helped at all.
Got a pop-up/update message on phone yesterday about upgrading to ICS. I was running a stock HTC Amaze - not rooted - on Simple Mobile, and it was working great.
Upgraded phone to ICS OTA and love the new interface but having two problems, even after setting up the phone to run on the Simple network.
1. Phone is slow and will only run/display 2G whereas it used to be fast and say 4G.
2. Wifi tethering seems to be gone as it will not allow a tethered device to go to the page requested. (I have found threads about how to address this issue, so it is not a big concern like to 2g/4g speed issue.)
3. My android smiles are gone now......all I have are normal smiles. :-(
Any suggestions on what to do would be GREATLY appreciated.....
under mobile network settings, set your network mode to wcdma only.
I don't know much about the tethering issue, been on custom roms for a while, but apparently its a paid feature now. unlock your phone and install a custom rom, and you wont have that issue anymore
Could be a bad flash, though it doesn't really sound so, just sounds like they restricted a few things on other networks.
Fixed and working great....thanks sent to both who posted replies!!!!
Glad to see you got it fixed. If you don't get MMS, make sure you change your APN to the Simple Mobile APN. T-Mobile and Simple Mobile has slightly different APN settings.
I have a rooted / unlocked i717 that I recently flashed to the T-Mobile rom and ICS Blaze modem outlined in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30335211
Everything went fine and overall I've been happy except for my phone works a little slower and my battery discharges slightly faster. I noticed today however that I cannot use my phone as a hotspot with the Wi-Fi hotspot tool enabled nor FoxFi. I can see the access point, it will ask for a key, but never connect. When I was using stock AT&T GB before (on T-Mobile as well), I was always successful with FoxFi. It worked well.
Is this an issue with using a T-Mobile rom on my i717? Should I change my rom to the AT&T official ICS and then flash the blaze modem or is it time to visit a custom rom? I use my phone heavily for work, so I don't want to experiment with anything JB at this time. I need something rock steady. I wanted to add that I needed to move from the stock GB because I was getting a annoying reboot issue monthly that made me reset/reload the phone each time. Thanks!

Enter that code into the dialer and turn off "wifi sleep"...
It may just fix your issue ..g

Nope, no luck there. I did notice that under FoxFI, the SSID no longer appeared to my laptop after entering that code. I have noticed that the T-Mobile Tethering and Portable Hotspot tool that is part of the rom does allow my laptop to connect to it but I don't get an IP address. I've been searching around and I have yet to find anyone with a similar issue. I'd hate to go back to GB at this point, but I may have to this weekend if there is no answer as I have a business trip next week
Thanks for your help though!
I did some more reading with some similar issues with the GSII and read about a app called "Wireless Tether for Root Users".

It works great so far. I am relieved.
Hey, so I have a Samsung Galaxy S running CyanogenMod 9.
I want to test if my 3g is actually working or not. I used to use the 3G internet on the phone until I changed plan without mobile internet and now I've changed back. The problem is there is no 3G connection now.
I've been onto my network's forums and followed their instructions for setting up APN's etc. and the settings are perfect (even though I never changed them since the last time it worked)
So my question is that is there some way to test if your 3G hardware is actually functioning?
Bump. Does anyone know anything to test if your 3G h/w is working?
Bump. Anyone?
I am having trouble getting Wifi Hotspot or any tethering to work with my new Padfone X on the T-Mobile Network.
Everytime I try to enable it I get the error message:
There is a temporary network problem that prevents the enabling of this service. Please retry later.
I read the phone might block it since it uses AT&T software but I am unsure what setting to change to fix this.
My phone is rooted and hope someone can help me with this issue.
I had the same problem. I rooted then downloaded an app called WiFi tether router. Its $2.50 but its the one that works For me.

It took some work to get it going on my Padfone X (rooted, unlocked, on t-mobile in US/Seattle) but it does work. It does take a little work to get it going.
The app is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter and it is still $2.50.
I used this as my base config from their support site: https://sites.google.com/site/wifitetherrouter/home/device-configuration
Interface wlan0 (Or Suggested by the app)

Tether works on t mo in lollipop using padfone s ROM.
I am on T-Mobile and use mdkathon's method. To the carrier, it looks like you are using normal mobile data as well rather than tether data. But the native tether app works on my Padfone X with Padfone S 5.0 Firmware without having to make changes, it could possibly be something I removed during debloat process.
I could never get my PFX to tether to TMO with AT&T's firmware, even after doing some of the common workarounds. Flashed the latest PFS KitKat (not bothering with LP) software and tethering worked right out of the gate.
