I can get my device to turn on the hotspot and I can connect other devices, but I have no internet on my phone or the device I connected to from the hotspot (say, my laptop). I am on AT&T in the US and typically in the past I need root to allow hotspot, as most devices on AT&T will give you an error message to go buy a tethering package before you can enable. But that isn't happening with this device, as I can actually connect just without the internet working. So I'm not sure if this is an issue with this phone itself or if this is still an AT&T block, just in a different way. Let me know if you can get access to hotspot and if so what you are doing. Thanks!
Anyone?
I have no problem with hotspot.
AT&T was known for restricting internet sharing for user who dont have tethering plan,
So why dont you try with other sim which has tethering plan?
My carrier doesnt have that limitation, so cant really give you best answer
Go to apn and delete the bottom apn, that will fix it
I have dual sim version (L29). Two 4g sims inserted. Sim1 as main sim.
When tethering my laptop on Sim1, I cannot browse the internet on my phone. Whatsapp messages do not send or receive.
Anyone having similar issues? I'm sure this used to work fine before on my Samsung S5

Hi, just got the Huawei Mate 10 pro BLA-L29 C636 for Christmas (Orange operator).
I am experiencing the same issue while Hotspot / Tethering is activated : I cannot use Internet on my phone.
I've tried to delete the bottom APN but it did solved the problem..
Can you help me to explain how did you delete it and which one ?
Thanks

Hi i have the same problem, when my tethering is active i cannot have internet on the device, only on my computer. I tried to delete the APN and reset them but still not working. I got my phone today . Model ALP-L29.
Well I didn't get the best solution but for the people like me with the tethering issue on model ALP-L29 they can put the sim on the sim 2 slot and tethering and device will have internet. But I still waiting to find a real solution for slot 1 sim. I hope it helps

This is nuts. I too have the Mate 10 dual sim version, and had the same issue; data on my connected device but NOT on the handset itself when hot spot connected. Only 1 APN.
And sure enough, changing the SIM into SIM2 slot fixed this; data simultaneously on handset and connectyed device. But this defeats the purpose of me choosing this model as I wanted the micro SD storage!
So any further advice on getting SIM 1 enabled properly woudl be great.
cheers

wow! i have same experience. sim1 tether, internet doesnt work on phone only on connected device. sim 2 tether, internet works on both device and phone.

I spent an hour on chat support with Huawei this morning and they confirmed this is not correct functionality and to return it to the retailer. Bit hard as this is a grey import in the UK and I don't want to send it back to Hong Kong. Would love to know if anyone has genuinely managed to get SIM1 working on the dual-sim model for tethering?

You're right. This seems a common theme so I've returned the phone and am getting a LG V30. Same price. Huawei aren't quite there yet to be in the Premium phone category. Ok Google never worked; WhatsApp only notified me of messages half the time. Many small issues that collectively ruin the experience....

Hi folks, can anyone please help me with this problem?
My brother in law has asked me to look at his S740. He has tried several o2 SIM cards (UK) in this phone but always gets told there is no signal.
Not only that, but there is a symbol where the strength meter should be that isn't documented in the user guide.
He has also tried my o2 (3G) sim and a Vodafone sim, both UK.
Any advice gratefully recieved. We have tried several hard resets also.
Thanks
This means it's looking for signal. My guess: Still SIM-locked?

Not sure if it's SIM locked as there is a menu to select which carrier to use.
It reads the SIM correctly and sets it all up for o2, but just doesnt get any signal.
Does anyone know where the GSM antenna is on these? Maybe its a bad connection.
UPDATE:
I've had a mail back from HTC that recommends I send it in for repair, lol.
Now do I take it they are robbing buggers or do I take it that the icon is an indicator of a hardware fault??
Hmmmm, dilemma. lol
Are there any more suggestions on what it may be?
Has anyone successfully taken one of these apart?
it may be because of a hardware error...try to connect to a wifi network...if it impossible to find a wifi network then it is due to a harware problem.Most likely because the FR coaxial cable is out of its possision...download the service manual and see how to fix it.

Hi sasiskas, it conects fine to my wireless network at home. I take it from your response that the cable serves a double purpose.
I downloaded the service manual so I could take a look, but only got as far as removing the 4 screws at the back. lol, I couldn't figure out how to get it off, lol
I'm still stuck at the assumption that it is indeed SIM locked, and so will try to find a suitable card to try out.

Try contacting with your phone's provider (shop,e-bay seller whoever it is) and ask him details about the sim.Good luck.

Hey! I think I know the solution to your problem...I had exactly the same problem when I hardReseted my phone.
Go to "Start-settings-Phone-Band Select"
and then select
1.Network type : Auto
2.Band Type : "Euro" if you live in Europe, "US" if you live in USA , or "Japan" if you live in Japan.
Good luck...Let us know if it worked!

Yes that is a good suggestion because the phone will display that icon if it can't find a *usable* network, be it that the SIM doesn't allow it or if the bands don't match the selection on the phone or the bands are not usable by the phone hardware etc.
I would suggest downloading & running HTC Field Test (fieldtest.exe) with & without a SIM installed, with each network & band setting & see if it shows any towers or signal. (Normally you want Auto for both but you may not have that option or you might prefer to set to a KNOWN working band to conserve battery & minimize searching) If should show something even without SIM or with SIM lock because it's supposed to support emergency calls either way. If it shows signals with SIM but you still have same no service icon then it's likely SIM locked (although the phone should alert you to that fact) so odds are the phone hardware, rom or settings do not support whatever signals are available to you. (Btw if field test shows N/A for all the values you need to app unlock your phone)
Hope that helps.
Bill
can you share a link with HTC Field Test?Thnx

Hey all I'm having a very similar problem.
Had my HTC for some months now but in the past few days I've found that my network signal is becoming very unpredictable.
I'm also on O2 and I used to have a pretty contstant H (I presume HSDPA) connection.
Howeever im finding now the phone with go from H to 3G to GPRS to E to no signal in the course of 5 mines and round and round again!
Its very annoying as it means I cant make / received calls or texts fluently and even cut me off on a phone call too.
However usually on phone calls it will keep me connected ok till I hang up and then go to no signal.
I've checked the wireless and it is picking up networks..
Any other suggestions? I will try the field test tomorrow...
PS I know its not the network as my work blackberry is O2 and is not having this issue..
Cheers in advance!
Well, just to close my input on this thread.
I tried various ROM's available from this site and none worked.
I did try the band selection settings but still a no go.
I did have limited success but overall, nothing. The phone has now gone back to the person who asked me to look into it and to my knowledge he is going to sell it to one of these phone reclaim companies.
I did check and one place, I think through the post office, is offering £80 ish so not bad I suppose.
Anyway, thank you to all who have made suggestions and wotnot. Personally I'm still happy with an old Nokia 6300 and my Wizard (Mini-S)
Thanks folks.
Please if you found solution reply here, but read at least first post before.
1. Does AT&T SIM reactivate WiFi, after other operator SIM used? - Yes (in my case), but you may need to reboot (soft) 2-3 times.
2. Does Motorola Update 1.57 solve the WiFi problem? - NOT IT DOES NOT.
3. Why part of unlocked phones have WiFi problem and others not? - Open question, as it is NOT a hardware failure, it is somehow related to unlocking process.
4. Is there any solution at all? - Honorable member crnkoj is developing the solution in this thread
IMHO WiFi related issue currently deserves sticky. Also it would be perfect to have one stop FAQ for WiFi related issues.
Im using an unlocked atrix n the wifi is working fine...
You in the lucky group. Mine is unlocked and none of the many potential solutions get me on wifi (short of tossing a broken sim in, which is a pain...)

1. Apparently people who have one, reported it reactivates wifi after a few reboots, otherwise you have to put in a broken sim and do a factory restore to get it to work
2. It does NOT (not the leaked 1.5.2, not the leaked 1.2.6 and not the prerelase 1.5.7)
3. i think it has something to do with a config file or an app that blocks it (altho im leaning toward a config file that gets from the carrier some info and not really blocks but more like a bug disables wifi, because of some conflict)
4. you can use your phone with sim card and 3g/4g data, while preinstalling everything before on wifi, or just use it a a small wifi only "tablet". I am unfortunately not that good with android/linux to figure it out on my own (i sort of got the phone into a boot loop 3 times now, trying to delete apps/ change config files in the /system dir). One of the forum/irc users is nice and tries helping me , but he doesnt have the phone himself so, hard thing ...
5. Hopefully the released source codes will help, doing a semi custom rom without the att bloatware, which could probably fix the issue.
What about the new update that was just released does that fix the problem?
It seems up to now there is no solution for wifi problem. Several reboots doesn't work for me. Please respond if someone was able to succeed.

I thought the new update started with a 4 but now I figured it out sorry.
It was big buzz week ago on broken wifi on unlocked AT&T phones. Now I can't find even the thread on that. Did you people find solution?
I have upgraded to 1.57 and it is definitely not a solution.
I tried hard reset with non-working card and wifi on hardware level works perfect. As soon as I've put working SIM in, it stopped and even reversing to non-working sim doesn't help. hard resetting every time is not a solution.
Still waiting for final solution.
I unlocked my Atrix in Australia. I shall walk you though my steps to see if you can pick out anything specific. I was very worried about the WiFi issue so i took many precautions.
I bought the code from Cellunlock.net - using the android50 code to bring it to $20
in the meantime I used an old, inactive SIM in the phone and on boot I would just hit dismiss on the network unlock screen and run the phone on WiFi on my home wireless. (WPA2 key)
When my unlock code arrived (2 days) I went to the wireless settings, DELETED my wireless network from being saved.
TURNED OFF WiFi entirely
Turned phone off properly and replaced the SIM card with my active Vodafone AU SIM
on the network unlock screen, I used the first code out of the two they provided and it was accepted
went back and re-added my wifi network, and doneeee all is working well.. hope this helps someone somewhere.
Thanks a lot DarkRyoushii
Problem is that I received my Atrix already unlocked. I contacted Cellunlock.net if it is possible to unlock it second time, but they responded it is impossible.
What gives me hope, Motorola has to sell originally unlocked phones and their ROM should be free of this AT&T crap. So using that ROM supposedly will help.
I have an AT&T Atrix and the unlock code didn't adversely affect my Wifi. I've actually never had an Android that locked onto Wifi as well as my Atrix. It's tight as hell. Never, ever drops!!
I don't see the correlation between the two but maybe there is some weird quirk. Not denying anyone though. I just wonder what the heck Motorola did to the framework to cause that to happen. Weird.. hope it gets patched up too.
I hope this gets fixed soon. I have an atrix with the sim unlocked. I cant connect to wifi, and I cant get passed the motoblur to set debugging and root the phone. This is very frustrating. I'm in qatar so I dont have a att sim, nor do I have a broken sim either. I guess I have a $600 dollar paperweight.
mine is perfect

Don't put any sim in it at all then turn it on. You should be able to connect to wifi that way and get past the setup.
I don't have an atrix yet but I heard that this works. Goodluck.

Guys, if you have 3g (or in fact any) data available on your sim its not a problem. When the motoblur setup tips up, click the settings hard button (the one to the left) choose "configure apn" (or something similar), put in the data you get from your carrier and bam, you should be able to finish the setup.
Wargame1 I bought several sims at eBay and is planning to check with them. As soon as they work, I'll let you know and even send you one from Baghdad.
Wifi problem is not solved yet. When Motorola is going to start selling originally unlocked versions? Their rom should help.

Well I got hold of my hTC One X+ and imported it directly from Clove.co.uk to Pakistan. I got the phone yesterday i.e. November 4, 2012. Picked my home wifi signal downstairs (my wifi router is upstairs). Worked fine, synced everything. I operated the phone initially without the SIM card. I got the SIM card cut (for conversion) to micro, and the phone worked fine.
Then I had two issues:
1. Suddenly all the signals from my service provider (mobilink) vanished. A reboot, turn off and restart and SIM re-insertion helped.
2. my wifi is disappeared, cannot connect to any wifi signal (cant connect to my HTC desire hotspot) or cant leech neighbors open wifis.
Have read the forums. didnt dared try to upload the custom rom / radio of one-x to this set.
so thats a hands-on review in the first few hours of hTC One X+.... is there any one who have the device and had the same issues? Posted hTC support too. Will be contacting clove.co.uk for support too?
factory resetted the phone... again picked my home connection from the start, but again showing disconnected wifi after full configuration is done. No wifi connections shown? probably a software issue?

I have narrowed down the issue to my SIM card. After one factory reset, I didn't insert my SIM card module, and went ahead with the settings. The phone till the end showed the all the available networks around me. The moment I inserted my SIM card module, the wifi networks just disappear and wont come back.

Well I will switch the wifi network standard to UK, as the set was purchased from UK. However the issue is whenever I insert the SIM card of cell operator. The wifi goes dead, as i cant see any network, and wifi going for interrupted scanning. though the network is available, and until and unless i go for factory reset, the wifi doesnt come back. I believe its region locking issue with wifi, i guess i have to wait till i get a proper WWE based RUU for One-X+
suggestions welcome. Although I have a return ticket open from the supplier.
HTC One X+ Wifi issues on sim insertion
I bought my HTC One X+ a couple of days ago from the UAE. But for some reason I can't get the wifi to work with a pakistani service provider (ufone). When I reset the phone and inserted a vodafone sim instead which had roaming activated, the Wifi worked fine.
I have found a couple of solutions but they both involve rooting my phone. Wouldnt that leave my warranty void? I want to be on the safe side, and so am cautious about rooting it. Are there any alternative solutions? Would claiming my warranty help?

Did you get you problem solved? If yes, how
I've fix it by work around
I've got my hox+ from UK, and currently operated in Egypt (vodafone), I was having wifi problem, it's only connected for 2-3 minutes then no connectivity in the meanwhile it shows it's connected to the wifi, I did a factory reset then I've skipped account registration once it's started, e.g google account, facebook account and so, then I've added one by one from the accounts in the settings, and the wifi is working fine now
Thanks Yasser,
Did you leave it connected to wifi after factory reset, or you didn't add wifi till the time you had connected your google accounts. A detail step by step work around will be appreciated.
WIFI Problem
HI,
i also have problem with my one x plus.wifi works well without sim,but when i insert local sim ,wifi signal disappears.i have one O2 sim,if i use this sim wifi signals come back.how to solve this problem.
Br
Radical
i had the same wifi problems for months... ATT just released an update though which solved everything for me! My phone is now living up to its full potential woot! get the firmware update it doesnt say what it does besides "wifi bug fixes" but it is finally working great for me!
Hi,
Hope Im not duplicating anything here. I've got a massive problem. I use the Three UK network on PAYG and take the all in one 15 bundle, giving me a great deal - 300 mins, 3000 texts and totally unlimited 4G data with no worries that I'll ever spend more than 15 quid a month on my phone.
The massive problem is that now I've bought what I thought was the perfect device, The Honor X1 LTE with 32GB internal, I can't use the Three sim card for data. It tells me I have to buy a data sim to use the internet on the go. The sim thinks the phone is a tablet.
I'm now at a point where I have several crap options:
1) I have to change to a different network, assuming it's possible to use data on a phone sim card in the Honor mediapad x1 on other networks.
2) Use the phone with no mobile data access.
3) Sell the phone.
4) Work out how to make the sim card stop thinking it's a tablet.
Please somebody, help me out here. Does anyone have a UK sim which works on the X1 with calls, texts and mobile data for a decent monthly cost?
Thanks in advance,
HRH.
If the SIM tells you that it is a tablet, call your provider (Three) and explain them that they have to remove the block; or you will have to change provider.
Be firm but very polite.

I did exactly that and they are happy to let me go. We spent over an hour on the phone. They say there's nothing they can do. There's no block to lift as such. It is simply not possible to use a Three phone sim for data access in that phone. At least according to the Team Leader.
Has anybody got data access on this phone with a normal sim?
Wow! Hardliners. That means that the offer ain't that great if they are offering unlimited LTE but only if you use a phone which makes it impossible to consume serious data..............
Then phone can definitely do LTE data. Between my wife and I, we have used several different providers in Germany, Holland, Belgium, and France.

Thanks for the reply. So I presume the Sim cards you used were all normal phone sims which allowed you to make calls and send texts as well?
Correct. Just "voice" sims. Data traffic is charged (dearly). My employer was none too thrilled;but hey, I was working off my work e-mails...........
On one private one, I can book 1GB UMTS data for €10 for 30 days. And the card works no matter what; even international data roaming.
I've been round this loop, and was happy with 3 until this happened. I argued with them for a long time, but they just did not want to know.
If I have a phone SIM, no data is allowed as it is in a "tablet".
If I have a data SIM, no phone calls can be made.
In short, 3 simply cannot (or at least refuse to) provide a service to anyone with this device.
In the end I signed up with and took my number to Giff Gaff, and am happy. If you want an introduction, let me know, and we both get £5 back.

Sounds like I might not have a great deal of choice. How do we sort it logistically then? PM me if you need to.

Just go to this page to sign up. I think that should do it.

Just goes to show that what seems to be a good deal is just another attempt to rip you off.
Glad to hear that you found a good solution for you.

Before I commit to this I've got 2 questions:
1) Is the X1 good enough as a daily driver to warrant switching? Bearing in mind I'm using a superb phone at the moment, the Lumia 1520 whose only shortcomings are to do with lack of apps. Otherwise it's silky smooth and really stable.
2) Has anyone tried TPO? It's a new network that uses EE, the UK best coverage.

What do people think?

Hi,
Hope Im not duplicating anything here. I've got a massive problem. I use the Three UK network on PAYG and take the all in one 15 bundle, giving me a great deal - 300 mins, 3000 texts and totally unlimited 4G data with no worries that I'll ever spend more than 15 quid a month on my phone.
The massive problem is that now I've bought what I thought was the perfect device, The Honor X1 LTE with 32GB internal, I can't use the Three sim card for data. It tells me I have to buy a data sim to use the internet on the go. The sim thinks the phone is a tablet.
I'm now at a point where I have several crap options:
1) I have to change to a different network, assuming it's possible to use data on a phone sim card in the Honor mediapad x1 on other networks.
2) Use the phone with no mobile data access.
3) Sell the phone.
4) Work out how to make the sim card stop thinking it's a tablet.
Please somebody, help me out here. Does anyone have a UK sim which works on the X1 with calls, texts and mobile data for a decent monthly cost?
Thanks in advance,
HRH.

Hi
I own mediapad honor x1 bought directly from Huawei (model 503L ,LTE) Data service is working all sims I checked ie Tmobile, 3, vodafone. Only problem i found is vodafone and o2 4G frequency is not compatible (800 Mz) but 3g works fine with them also. I am currently using Vodafone sim, no issue with data connection.

Thanks for that. So do you know if EE gives you a 4G signal then? I'm very surprised that you managed to get access to any kind of data using a 3 sim card.

Yes EE and 3 mobile 4g works well in my device.To make it confirm I personally visited their shop in Sheffield and asked for sim only contract, inserted sim card and checked, EE gives 17 mb downloading speed too, vodafone 3g works as normal as in other devices. both downloading and uploading below 8 mb

Are you absolutely sure about Three and is it a phone sim which gives you texts, data and phone calls? It seems weird that yours works and both my PAYG and my contract Three sim cards tell me I'm not allowed to use a phone sim in this phone. Was it the 3 shop you tested the sim in?

When was that exactly? Wondering if it was before they changed the policy. How old is the sim that works?
I can only emphasise that it is a question of policy whether a network is accessible, rather than a question of modem/radio capability.

Of course. When did the policy change - does anyone know? I've a feeling it was 2012 ish.
I would guess that the policy did not change, but that it is part of the tariff / offer.
Reji kamal used a pay as you go SIM of 3,which does not have the block.

Where did you purchase the phone? I've been looking at the 7.2, but I can't get a straight answer if the US version supports dual SIM. The models I do see for sale that explicitly state dual sim are lacking US LTE bands. Perhaps you have one of those?

That's a good point I had not considered. I know I was trying to help the OP, but we were not successful.
I have model TA-1178 and it works fine on MetroPCS; however the SIM card tray only has one opening. The location for the second SIM is outlined but not removed 'cutout'.
I purchased mine Unlocked from Best Buy, and it is listed as Dual SIM. I just never paid much attention as it was a feature I did not need / want.
