I have an AT&T set but it is now unlock and use in my country where I have no issue to use wifi tethering with my service provider in Singapore.
However each time I try to turn on wifi hotspot, it said go to AT&T url or dial 611 to use.
Can someone help? My device is already rooted. Thanks in advance
Updated : thanks to kiwi45. Just add tether under apn default type (default,tether)

i had this problem too, but i installed the gingerblur script (dev forum) and since you get the option to remove "bloatware", i am guessing there is an application in the phone that detects personal hotspot without an att tethering account.
you might want to freeze in titanium backup unneeded programs, there's a list on the forums
same problem
I search a solution in google,but,no result.
Anyone know it? please help us!!

you shouldnt have to freeze anything for mobile hotspot to work. did you put in the APN for your carrier? you cannot use the AT&T tether fix for your carrier you have to use your settings from your carrier.

But does that work on AT&T, or do they manage to block it?

You have to set your APN for your own carrier. Whatever works on AT&T does not matter in SG.

Works for me on Three in the UK with my normal APN. I have unlocked ATT handset. I just click through. Does your provider allow hot spot?

yeah. I'm from Malaysia and everytime I tick on the wi-fi hotspot box there will be a prompt asking me to enable the account at att.com/mywireless or dial 611.
my provider does allows tethering and I'm using unlock at&t device..
Just edit your APN to include "tether" in the Type field, i.e. Type: default -> Type: default,tether

i have always had tether in my apn type however it doesn't work for me. When i activate hotspot, i get stuck at the "setting up data link" phase in the notification dialog, and i can't turn it off unless i reboot.

try turning on your wifi before you turn on mobile hotspot. i get stuck at the setting up data link too when i don't have wifi enabled.
Anyway, when I use aroot, I don't need to add tether on my apn setting. Unless you are using super one click. Btw, all using soc should update to aroot to clean up the mess.
Updated: I still need to add tether on the apn after testing even I use aroot.

d-oh! i always tried enabling wifi after turning it on. now it works. thanks. but it still has a bug, because it won't let you disable hotspot if you don't turn on wifi first, you need a reboot
I still get stuck on setting up data link. I make sure wifi is enabled and when I click hotspot, wifi turns off. I rooted aroot over soc. Any ideas?
nvm I got it to work. Right after I selected hotspot, I pressed home and turned on wifi. That seemed to work.
Hi All,
I know its a topic which has been addressed differently in different threads. I am a user from India and have a GSM SIM. I have got a Verizon S4 phone. I tried using it with Vodafone SIM and get a problem in using it. Surprisingly a NOTE 2 from Verizon works just fine. I am able to use it for data with 3G but not able to use it for voice. Following steps have been tried already.
- Default Options of using Global Mode and GSM/UMTS ** Doesnt search the network at all.
- Hidden Menu Changes using # codes. ** Shows network but emergency mode only.
- Phone Info app to change the mode. ** Shows network but emergency mode only.
- RF Band change using the hidden menu. ** Shows network but emergency mode only.
It does say that it has GSM radio but cant be used for some software reason I suppose. I checked with Verizon Rep and was told that it cannot be used in India with a GSM SIM and would need the Verizon SIM only to connect with International Roaming.
Can I install a I-9505 ROM on this and then would it pick up the GSM signal for voice and data. Please help.
I don't think your Verizon rep is correct. I bought a Verizon S4 just before going to Europe for 1 month. I used first a gsm SIM card from Germany, and then a gsm card from France. I had to add APN's to get data (I used "offline sim APN database" from the market to help get the necessary APN info), but had no trouble with voice or data for my entire trip. The gps and navigation services on the phone were extremely valuable on a couple of occasions, as was the wifi hotspot. In France, you can purchase 2 GB of data service for 20 Euros. I checked with Verizon global services ( 908-559-4899 outside the US or 800-711-8300 from inside ) before I left, and the Verizon S4 was sim unlocked out of the box. They did not make a big deal of my plan to use other SIM cards either.

Installed WamanLite I9505 ROM
Hello All,
I found that Wanam Lite I-9505 ROM can be installed on Verizon S4. I installed it and patched it with Loki-Doki patch to boot up as I got the Verizon Software error. Yet my phone doesnt pick up the GSM signal for voice and SMS. It picks up the signal and I am able to browse internet on it but no calls or SMS. Please help...!!
Is there any way that I can install or flash a regular GSM radio over the phone ? Or tweak it in someway to use the GSM signal as primary for voice and sms.

I have also Verizon's S4 (i545) and use it in GSM network with only one small problem - it will not send SMS with in-ROM SMS apk to international-formatted numbers (+380-XX-XXX and so on), but send without problem to local-formatted numbers (XX-XXX...) All the rest is working good.
Could you tell me please - how did you get to install i9505's ROM on your device? I have also Verizon's error after installation, and don't know how to run it...
Hi I too have the vzw s4 in india.. and niether voice nor sms is functioning on it.
By rooting it and installing apn manager I was somehow able to get the data 3g working for vodafone ind.
I too am struggling to find a solution to this.
Ive haventvyet flashed it. I came across a guy who said he will be able to get it working but somehow I havent yet been abke to follow up with him.
Guess we both are on the same boat.
Lets keep in touch and update if any of us finds a solution to this.

You all can try to flash my port of ARHD 2.0 ROM, that can be found it this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2346365
It is fully GSM and as international as regular GSM-version of S4. CDMA can be turned on only on hidden test application. Everything else is working and was tested in different networks.
I too created a post seeking help in this regard but didn came across anything concrete yet.
Everyone out here believes it to be a world phone and some have even been using the gsm network in europe but its not working in india.
Ive failed to understand that how come its detecting signals with functioning data is not working on either voice or sms.
Tmobile and atnt gs4 guess have this service menu from where they can be network unlocked explicitly..but unfortunately I havent yet come any such thing for vzw gs4.

I tried installing the ARHD 2.0 ROM but still the same issue persists. The phone picks up the signal for data but when tried selecting network manually or automatic using the GSM / UMTS option, it says disable data to search networks, when data is disabled, the phone shows available networks says phone registered to network but the status still says Emergency Calls Only. Also if tried dialing a phone it says no network available. There has to be something in the modem settings which can be tweaked through the service menu which will change the use of GSM for voice and data and not use CDMA.

Did you do a full wipe when flashing ROM? It is mandatory. You will lose all your data though. If there will be no changes after full wipe - then try to install this card into another phone and ckeck if voice calling is working.

I did a full wipe. I have 2 Galaxy S4's and also an Optimus G. The card that I am using is my regular SIM card so its not an issue with the card for sure. The ROM was installed on both the phones and neither of them picked up the signal for voice and SMS.

Ok. To go and chose type of radio-band you may install Battery Monitor Widget from Google Play (well, the main purpose of this app is different, but it is what comes first in my mind). Put it's widget on the desktop, open it and go for bottom right button, named Test. There you can first menu (Device Info) and there you will be able to change all variations of the radio bands and their combinations, available for i545. If non of the combinations will help - mosty probably your operator works on unsupported for this phone cellular format.

I have the Phone Info app which allows band select. Tried on all possible modes. Same issue persists. Strangely the Note 2 purchased from Verizon works flawlessly without any mods or changes. I am thinking of giving to some professional phone guy who may have code level flashing or modding tools to try and fiddle around with settings of the modem or the radio to pick up the signal here.

Hey phrozenwire, I am able to use both voice n sms now in my VZW GS4.
And I literally did nothing to make the voice n sms functional. I too had troubles for like 2 weeks and it didn work for me then.
I rooted the phone to add apn settings and the data got activated. But today morning when I woke up ... surprise surprise .. it began to work.. rcvd sms and calls and I was so happy. . Last I remember I switched on the power save mode and my cell fell down twice and guess it did the trick for me.
Thanks all for your help and comments.

Guys, i finally found solution for our Moto G network data issue,
Previously i was using Xperia C where i can select 2g(GSM), 3G( WCDMA) , 3G+2G option.
But in our Moto G - 2G, 3G+2G option is there but complete 3G (WCDMA) is missing this means
If we select 3G, our phone will Select 2G when our phone finds full 2G network, it will switch to 3G only when it finds full network
"Network" yup this is solution
Network app just download this from play store and enjoy complete full
3G support :good:

I am not here to promote this app just to help my xda brothers whosesoever is facing similar problem like me

Hi, I just recently use LG G5 Model F700K Korean variant and I notice that it missing the network mode for switching 4G and 3G connection. I also try hidden menu but mine doesn't show network test at all. Is there any way to access this menu???
I'm on LS992 running a GSM card.
I can toggle 4G/3G by going to Settings > Mobile Data > Menu > Mobile Networks > Network Mode > "Automatic" for 4G LTE data, "GSM/UMTS" for 3G data.
Using hiddenmenu APK, I can do it by selecting Field Test > Modem Settings > RAT Selection > "GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto" for 4G LTE data, or "GSM/WCDMA" for 3G data.
However, these were not accessible to me either until I switched from Production to Lab network using the hiddenmenu APK.

My apologies, I meant to include the link but didn't save it last post. Link to the APK installation file for "HiddenmenuCall" app is in the following guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g5/how-to/guide-gsm-unlock-sprint-lg-g5-t3574819
Essentially follow the guide and skip steps 4-6 (unlocking carrier bands, unless you want to do this too.) It will prompt you to turn on app installs from unknown sources in step 2; do so for this app and turn off after this installation is complete to keep secure.

No guarantee it will work, but you can try inputting the following codes in Phone > Dial pad to disable carrier check (to re-enable it just input the same code again) :
For Enhanced 4G (VoLTE) :
*#*#86583#*#*
For WiFi Calling :
*#*#869434#*#*
For my case, WiFi Calling option appear but not working.
Good luck!

Don't need to reset phone, just restart if you want. Then check :

Phone > Settings > Calling account > Sim1/Sim2 > Wifi calling > ON
Like I said earlier, may or may not work. In my case, wifi calling is still not working.

I just followed the guide and have both vowifi and volte enabled in my wife's mi A3.
It goes without saying that I had previously enabled the vowifi in her carrier.
