Hello. I'm a 70-year old grandmother who does pretty well with tech but I've run into a problem and am hoping someone here can help me. If so, I'll bake you some virtual warm chocolate chip cookies. ps This is my first post.
Samsung Mega
SGH-l527
4.4.2
Original Carrier: ATT
Current carrier: Tmobile
I am currently and successfully using PDAnet to USB tether my phone to my laptop.
However, neither the mobile hotspot feature of PDAnet or on the phone itself work.
I want it to work.
Error Message: Mobile Data is unavailable or invalid Sim.
Clueless tech help from Tmobile and Samsung.
Googled the problem and found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283615
I have successfully rooted my phone.
I successfully downloaded and installed SQLiteEditor.
I feel like I'm VERY close to fixing this but so far no cigar.
** I can't figure out where to locate the "entitlement" so I can change the value.**
Can anyone tell me the exact name and the path I need to follow through SQLiteEditor to get there?
Bless your heart.

Hey guys so I have a problem with my Samsung Note.
First my phone
------------------------------------------
Model number: SAMSUN-SGHI717
Android version: 4.0.4
Baseband version: I717UCLF6
Kernel version: 3.0.8
Build number: IMM76D.UCLF6
--------------------------------------------
My problem:
I purchased the phone about a year ago through ATT here in California with a 6GB a month shared data plan that I share with my girlfriend. The phone is completely stock except for a 8gb sd card.
During that time I could tether my phone via wifi or usb with no problems whatsoever. However about a month ago a issue started that I have not been able to fix. Every time I try to tether via wifi or usb to my laptop I get a error message pop up.
--------------------------------------------
Mobile hotspot is unavailable
to enable mobile hotspot on this device, go to att.com/mywireless or dial 611
----------------------------------------------
The first time this happened I contacted ATT tech support and talked on the phone with multiple people who attempted to help me with no results. They can't do anything because my phone IS able to tether and be a mobile hotspot they double checked their system. Also my girlfriends iphone can tether just fine and she shares my data plan. So at this point the only option left is a error with the phone. Also I do not have a exact date of WHEN this issue started happening as I went through a period of not using it to tether.
I have been attempting to fix this for over two weeks, going through forums and so far NO ONE has been able to shed any light on this. If there is anything you can think of for me to try you simply have NO idea how much I would appreciate it. THIS HAS BEEN DRIVING ME CRAZY!
NOTE: I actually got the tethering to work by removing the SIM card, turning the phone back on, turning it off, reinserted the sim card, and firing it back up. However, it only worked once and then went back to giving me errors.
Thanks,
Gabe
I Rooted my phone, installed Root Explorer ( a file manager app ), then deleted tethermanager.apk or tether2.apk (its been so long I don't remember).
I don't know what you have tried, besides beat your head against at&t. But it sounds like your sim card is not provisioned correctly to enable tethering.
Figured it out

Ok just got back from meeting with a AT&T friend of mine and it turns out the problem was data limits set internally on my att accound. No idea how they got turned on but when she turned them off everything worked fine. So problem solved turn your data limits off on your account!
Wow...
So all I've "learned" from this thread I already knew..
Calling at&t for tech support is like asking an elephant to fix your car...

Nah! I'd give better odds to the elephant fixing the car than the at&t rep actually solving even the most basic issue.

Hello all, I'm hoping someone can shed a little light on an "interesting" problem I'm having with my new phone. This may be my first post on here, but I have scoured this and other forums trying to come up with an answer but alas have found nothing, so here goes:
I am currently using Simple Mobile which operates on T Mobile's network. I have near-perfect signal at home but can't seem to use the damned thing for Facebook, Tapatalk, Zynga games, internet, etc without my interent connection timing out on me. I recently switched from Comcast to Dish Network and no longer have wifi at home so this is killing me.
This phone screams on wifi, and it seemingly works fine everywhere else via my data connection except at home. I normally show an H or an E at home. From what I understand T Mobile is replacing all of its edge circuits with HSPA+, so I'm thinking they just haven't got around to upgrading the tower closest to my house as of yet. I decided to get my girlfriend prepaid service on T Mobile with that $30 per month 5GB plan through Walmart and slapped the sim in my old Motorola Defy and it works great. However, if I put that same sim in my phone I'm back to square one with the same data connection problems, so I know this is not a problem with Simple Mobile (plus like I said as long as I am not at home my phone works well, too.).
So here's the real kicker -- if I use the PDANet+ app on my phone and turn on the wifi hotspot, it works just fine when I connect using my home desktop computer! This is so aggravating, why would I time out with my data connection for my own phone but as a hotspot it work flawlessly??? I'm pretty close to giving up on T Mobile because what good are they if I can't get a data connection on the phone itself at home?
Also I should mention that all of the APN settings are definitely correct. Perhaps there is a baseband selection that I can't find somewhere in the Blu Studio 5.0 d530 that may help (I know there's one in the Motorola Defy). Maybe it's because T Mobile recognizes that my phone is not a T Mobile branded phone (but the Defy IS), and if so, how can they push the whole "bring your own phone" thing so hard?
In any event, I may try just switching to Straight Talk but I really don't want to go through the hassle of porting my number and all that -- plus I'm not sure how good their signal is in my area. A search online for closest cell towers to my address results in T Mobile by a longshot.
Any help is appreciated, guys -- I'm frustrated to no end here.

Use Google Translate, if needed. Basically it just says that is the stock 4.1.2 rom with no carrier bloat.
Hey guys,
So I have a bit of a tricky question that I can't seem to find an answer for. My wife and I just move to Europe for work for 2 years. We had AT&T in the states, so my wife has an AT&T HTC One X+. We got our phones SIM unlocked before we left, and purchased French SIM cards that run on the Bouygues Telecom network. My phone (Lumia 925) can do wifi tethering no problem... My wife's on the other hand has issues. I keep getting the following error:
" There is a temporary network problem that prevents the enablement of the Mobile Hotspot function. Please retry later."
I have tried the following steps:
1. Rooting the phone.
2. Installing other hotspot apps (Both root and non-root)
3. Installed custom ROMs with hotfixes to remove AT&T data requirements.
I don't know if it's relevant, but when I do a reset on the phone, it doesn't automatically connect to Bouygues network for data. I have to manually add the APN every time. Once I do that, her mobile data works just fine, so I don't THINK that the APN is causing the problem...
Anyways, if anyone has an suggestions on how to fix this issue, I would be indebted to you... I've just never encountered this problem on any of my other Android devices and I have to believe that there is a simple solution to fix the problem that I've just not encountered. Thanks!!
I loved my international HOX, so when got dropped in water i said lets go for the ATT HOX+ that has LTE.
Big mistake! I have OP's same issue, im in spain and my provider is Movistar.
I bought it on e-Bay, configured all the APNs, I used settings from their webpage and also tried telephony.db values from an international rom, stock rom didn't tether.
Rooted stock (4.1.2 i think it was) still nothing.
Elegancia (4.2.2) ROM, still nothing.
Changed some stuff on the telephony.db, still nothing
Swapped the wifirouter.apk with the international wifirouter.apk, still nothing.
Nuked TetherGuard.apk, still nothing.
Installed Moto-X tether Xposed module, still nothing (probably cause it's for android 4.4).
I read that AOSP or Cyanogen ROMs don’t have this issue.
I also read that if you swap telephone.db from international version to USA version the phone goes into a reboot loop, [More Info].
I guess the solution lays in something similar to the Moto-X tether patch, but i don't really have the time to fork the project, and try to get my tethering working.
Hope someone can give us a hand, im sure there are at least 5 more people in this same situation.
I recently bought a phone from the u.s.a. I managed to root the phone and now it is working great on my canadian sim card.
Here is the phone details:
Phone: Verizon Note 2
Mode: SCH-I605
Android version: 4.4.2
Baseband version: I605VRUFND7
This phone is rooted and now on a canadian simcard.
The only problem i found this morning is that i cannot share my mobile data. Here is the problem:
Every time turn on "Mobile Hotspot"
I get this screen:
Checking subscription status... then Mobile number not found
So i am unable to use share my data connection to my laptop. I had a canadian note 2 before this and mobile data worked fine.
How could i enable mobile hotspot? Is there a crack somewhere?
woo hoo!! i found a solution.
Those big cellphone companies make me angry.
Thank you very much to the developer. There is a lot of great developers here. Everytime i come here it seems someone has developed something to take care of my solution such as root etc.
I never donate to charites. But for there hard work i always donate to developers. I hope everyone else does too.

Hello,
My neighbor, an old lady, has this phone. She subscribed a full data contract and she needs to turn the phone into a hot spot for her laptop (Windows 8.0 based...)
She could not do it, so I was called to the rescue.
I was unable to do it. Shame on me.
So I ask the experts for advice and help.
Please help me be "great again"
Many many thanks from both of us in advance for your help and advice.

Most easy way is to get a 'mifi' box and kindly ask the provider for an additional sim-card. Some providers even supply those boxes at a fair price and to be used in the same subscription.
Since you donnot specify, I expect the phone is not rooted.
Next, I hope the phone is not branded (supplied by the phone company and loaded with their software).
So the system is running android 4.4 (as that was the lates version I got on my SII).
Now I'm doing this by head as android 4.4 is some time ago.. See the phone settings app and in there you should find the option called 'tethering'. Other names are wifi-hotspot and such.
Be noted, if the phone is connected to a wifi network, the option can be grayed-out or even invisible, so best to disconnect the wifi network. I'm in daupt if you need to disable the wifi itself. In the end it is needed.
The latest available stock ROM is 4.1.2 Check out the picture to activate WiFi tethering hotspot. You can put the SIM inside the phone, turn mobile data on and then activate tethering.
