I have a SIM-unlocked AT&T Titan, and I was looking forward to using it to the max.
However, I've run into a problem. When I click Internet Sharing, it tells me to contact AT&T. My carrier allows tethering, and I don't think AT&T will do anything for me.
What is my recourse?

Throw the Titan in the ocean. Seriously though, not much you can do. I am using an AT&T "unlocked" Titan on Tmobile that I bought from Microsoft and I can't tether even though Tmobile doesn't care. Until someone manages to unlock this phone it is really a worthless investment. Don't get me wrong, I love the promise of the Titan it's just that the corporate scumbags at AT&T have severely disabled it.

I wish AT&T, being the "premier partner" of WP7, wasn't allowed to hobble it so severely.
AT&T Charges a premium for tethering. So why do you expect AT&T ever give you a phone with free tethering? It locked down iPhones and Android phones. Wp7 will not be any different.

Tethering is possible if you follow the "permanent unlock" post further up on the topics list. This permanent unlock has the added advantage of enabling internet sharing on OTHER NON-ATT sims. Be careful NOT TO RUN HTC Connection Setup after you do this as somehow this little HTC apop reenables the ATT internet sharing lock. I am posting this with an ATT Titan with Permannent unlock and a TMOBILE sim with Internet sharing enabled. Unfortunately all I can manage is edge with Tmobile in this phone but I assume in Europe I can have full 3g. This hack does not enable Internet sharing with an ATT sim unless you have the tethering plan. And for what it's worth, ATT are cretan ass*****s when it comes to tethering. I bought their PAYGO 1 gig data plan and it will not allow me to tether. Please explain to my why the f*** I shouldn't be able to tether when I PAY for a specific amount of data??!! Obviously I can't HOG bandwidth as I PAID for this data. When I go over my 1 gig I am charged more. Seriously, ATT have their heads up their a** and I am looking forward to seeing them go out of business. They are simply the worst provider on the planet and should be boycotted at all costs.
Fixed
Hi,
I think I have found the solution to this issue (a lill time consuming though).. It wasn't working for me and after doing the following I am able to do the internet sharing on my unlocked AT&T HTC Titan...
First you need to reset your phone to factory settings by doing the following (beware that all your personal data, applications and settings will be gone so better sync your phone with your PC first.. ):
Go into settings->about->reset your phone (you might need to scroll to the bottom). It confirms twice.. do that to reset your phone
After the phone is back on, try setting it up as your would do to a new device.
*** HTC Connection Wizard or Setup(whatever is that app called) seems to be the culprit so DO NOT install that app ever if you want the tethering to work.. It seems it resets some registereis as soon as it is switched on which blocks the tethering there after**
You might want to use 'reinstaller' app from the market place which will help you get all your previously installed apps by connecting to the Windows Live account and going through the list of apps you ever installed using that Windows live account. This process is the most tedious one but still better then nothing..
Once all this is done, connect your phone back to your PC and sync back in all the content that you lost from your cell while resetting.
Hope this helps.

Not working at all..it is not giving option for not installing HTC apps..by default it is taking it and not allowing to back or doing something else..
@vatsal1212 - I did the same prior to Dft HSPL and it didn't work for me too. If you want the IS to work with your AT&T phone you will need to flash custom (fully unlocked) rom. However, it is not a straight forward process especially with AT&T branded Titan. I suggest for you to read these related threads:

Getting rid of this message is easy if you have interop unlock. You will need to send root tools to the phone with a xap deployment tool (like from the windows phone sdk) then use the registry editor to add this value
[HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings] OpenMarketEnabled=dword:1
Then edit this value so it reads:
[HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings] EntitlementURI=./Vendor/MSFT/Registry/HKLM/Comm/InternetSharing/Settings/OpenMarketEnabled
Here's a link to a thread that explains the process poorly. The key is to have the two lines above in your registry. No matter how you get to the regediting step. Worked for my focus flash.

When I first tried cdma workshop to set spc, I connected with com port 3. But I didnt have sim card yet, and now I cant connect on any port this time.
I cant find anything on searches as to why I cant connect like I did the first time. I've been doing the research but run into a wall on this.
Can you help?
Been without a phone now for 2 weeks (dropped old phone in the swimming pool, chose Rezound, ebay... shipping wait... ebay for sim... wait... etc.)
My goal is to follow another thread to get the page plus prl and basically run this phone on page plus 3g.
Its been 2+ years since I had to do all this, and I'm quite rusty. I'm excited about this great upgrade from that tired old Eris
I have an old HTC Incredible that I am letting my 7 year old son use as a phone and game device. It is no longer activated on Verizon, but by using the wifi connection and a combination of Google voice and an SIP client I have managed to turn it back in to a working phone. It just needs to be near my phone, which has a shared wifi 4G connection, or any other wifi network.
He really enjoys is, and can still download games and make phone calls etc. Everything is great! And Dad doesn't pay a penny for any of it.
Somehow the phone has decided that it needs an OTA update from Verizon now. I obviously can't let it do that, since I am not paying Verizon to use it anymore. The phone constantly asks him if its ok to update the software. Every time it boots, and even when it's just been running for a while.
Here is my question... Does anyone know where the flag is in the SQL database that is triggering this? I would like to reset the flag so it stops asking the question. I have told him NOT to do it, but its just a matter of time until he accidentally does, or his sister does.
Has anyone ever run across that flag while playing in the SQL databases on a verizon phone??
Thanks, any info is greatly appreciated.. I'm surprised there is not more info out there on converting these old phone into stand alone android devices, and some tools to make it easier. Lots of people must have old phones around to do stuff like this with....
Hello,
since I have flashed a custom ROM on my German T-Mobile HTC One w/o simlock (T-Mob_101), I can't use any SIM-Cards anymore nor can they be read. I also tried with the tape trick but neither that does help. I tried to install other ROMs (such as Google Edition and Android Revolution) but still no luck. I'm out of ideas and gonna throw that phone out of the window any time soon.
Please help me this is extremely frustrating, it's a quite new phone I don't want to send it to HTC for repairs.
My HTC didn't read Sim at all, I changed sim at operator office for brand new one - since then no problems
Hi there, I recently purhcased a HTC One X + from ebay, I purchased the phone because of the spec upgrade from my original HTC One X.
When I received the phone, inserted SIM card and found that the Android was already setup, I found this odd so I restored the phone to factory settings.
Now when I insert the sim, reception is quite poor and it take 15+ minutes to connect to 3G connection, I beleive that it is a 4G phone.
Because the phone struggles to connect, batter powser is used up very quickly.
I noticed the following when I go into Settings > About > Tell HTC and Error Reporting.
"This is a test device. Accordingly, to collect critial information about the device, Tell HTC is enabled and cannot be turned off regardeess of the device settings"
I fond this quite odd so I reported this to the buyer and they dont answer my questions, they beat around the bush and ask to send it back which is not an option as freight back to the supplier will cost what the phone cost.
Can anyone suggest what I can do, if I can get it to connect to 3G or 4G as my older one does it should be fine.
