Hi I've looked and looked over this site and others and did not find a solution. I have had this phone STOCK NO MODS huawei 5x for about 1 year now (April)
kiw-l24
Kiw-l24c567b351
Emui-4.0
6.0.1
I have metro pcs as my carrier. I have had NO issues with Service or the phone till now. The phone was purchased new and unlocked.
My issue Is this. When going to TURN ON mobile hotspot under settings when I try to turn it on it gives me 2 pop up messages
1. Verifying Service authorization please wait
2. Then after the 1st message cycles it reads " There is a temporary network problem that is preventing the mobile hotspot function from being enabled. Please try again later"
I have never had issues with the hot spot and have not made changes to any settings that I am aware of.
I have called metro 4 times but had no luck with them. My plan includes hotspot and I'm not using any 3rd party app to use it. I've read that most phones will verify you have hot spot with your carrier and I assumed the issue may be with my plan. I have never changed it and called metro to verify I do have mobile hotspot. I think that's all the info I have at this time. Please let me know if there is more needed to try and resolve this. I appreciate your help.
Can some one at least tell me if this is a phone issue or a provider issue please?

I have had my hero for a couple and I have reall only used it on wifi then when I tried to acces the market without it without wifi it keeps sayin a network error has occured and I dont know what to do anybody know how to fix this?
-US
-T-Mobile
Probably different here in the UK, but due to TMobile restrictions here I had to ring up and get my account restrictions removed (standard for every new member). The Market worked find after that.
On the other hand, I quite often get that message in the market, seems to be a funny wifi issue. Turning wifi off then back on again and it returns to normal!
Probably s different for uk tmobile but i guess ill give a try and call tmobile if there is any restrictions int hat manner that wont let me get on the market I just hope this is fixable. Its the same for the internet too it says to enable my mobile network or wifi.
See http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=1a743e9b86168207&hl=en
thats not my problem martin I set up my google account when I first started up the phone so and everything works fine when im on wifi and I can access the market but as soon as i turn the wifi off I cant browse the internet or market when I try to get on the market it says network error and when I try to access the internt it says I require network access enable mobile network to download data
Have you set up an APN for T-Mobile US?
Regards,
Dave
No how do I do that?
So I found some apn settings on the tmobile forum and now I am on the edge which i thought i was before but apparently i wasnt so now
-A new problem tried to make my first phone call with this phone and the person I call cant hear me but i can hear them any solutions to this problem?
Alright, the issue I'm having is that the Mobile Hotspot will not stay on with PiCrust. It starts up fine but a few seconds later it drops 3G connectivity all together and I have to reboot to get data back. I've tried with wifi on and off before using.
The question I have is about the "entitlement" mod used for tethering. I have read online that the reason the iPhone was able to be detected was because the methods were using an alternate APN so all AT&T had to do was cross reference those accounts to see if they were paying for tethering. So my question is: Does the entitlement mod use the same APN for data and tethering?? If so, I would think this would answer most people's questions about the validity of the method. I know no one has confirmed that AT&T has detected this method but it is still relatively new.
EDIT:
I have been doing some more research and I have noticed some people are having issues with the new android market. Is this common among people using the new market?
Hi. I have both a nexus 7 as well as an HTC evo. Neither device works with my work open wifi network. The common thread is that they are both android ICS devices. The network is open but requires the user to accept an agreement before use. Both devices connect to the network, but never bring up the web agreement/authorization page and eventually simply time out.
I really need to have wifi at work and will likely sell the devices if I cannot get them working. I really don't want to do have to do so. Please help!

I had the same issue on my Guingerbread, download an app called wifi fixer that worked for me every time it runs as a service in the background and keeps the wifi active.
Does anyone have a solution? I literally will sell this tablet if I can't solve this issue because I'll be working at this place for at least 3 years and need wifi access.
Is it a certificate issue? An IP issue? Please help
The issue isn't a dropped connection. It connects fine but never brings up the authentication page. Instead the phone does nothing because its dependent on wifi data once it has a full connection. *BTW i tried wifi fixer. it didn't help
Hi,
My apologies if this is the incorrect section. I know the Virgin Mobile SGS2 is NOT the I9100 model, however the correct phone was not listed on this site (nearest is the T-Mobile model, but the options differ on their phone).
I'm experiencing an issue with trying to enable the wireless hotspot option for my phone. In every instance I have tried, I have received errors that ad-hoc failed to start and related problems. Let me make it clear that this version of the samsung galaxy DOES NOT have the option to turn on wireless tethering in the native settings menu (it's simply not there). My carrier most likely hid the option because it is an extra $15 a month to use the feature. I can, however, attempt to start the hotspot service with a third party app, but it runs for no more than 3 seconds and I get error 67:" Unable to connect to data network, turning off Hotspot..."
My phone is rooted and I have full access to edit system files (I did so to remove the ear-piercing camera shutter noise). I am using the stock rom and do not intend to flash a different rom to this phone. To lessen redundant suggestions that have been said hundreds of times and have failed to fix my issue, here is everything I have done:
Attempted to use FoxFi. All this app does is start the native hotspot capability on your phone, so I got the same error 67. No network connection. The network only appears for a split second when enabling the native hotspot setting, but since the phone turns it off, I can't connect to it.
Attempted to use Barnacle. I receive the error "Could not set ad-hoc mode of wlan0: Operation not supported on transport endpoint."
Attempted to use Wifi Tether for Rooted Users (for some reason this app is listed as "Not Compatible" for my phone in Google Play). Again, I receive an error that setting ad-hoc failed. All other services start successfully though, but the network does not appear for my PC to connect to.
Checked to make sure my 3G/4G is actually on and functioning.
Despite all this, I CAN utilize the USB tether feature just fine in PdaNet. It's the wireless hotspot that is eluding me. I know that flashing a different rom can get me around this issue, but I really would prefer to resolve this problem without doing that if it's possible. One thread I read said something about editing a .db file, but it was for an HTC phone and I'm a little wary to try it on my phone. I'm sorry for coming off rather cross, but I'm just a bit frustrated as every solution I find never works. It seems like this would be a simple thing to do. Is there a system file I can edit that will allow my phone to enable its native hotspot capabilities? Or something that will resolve the ad-hoc issue? Or am I blindly over-looking something obvious? If nothing will work except for flashing, then hey, at least I tried. It's not going to kill me if I can't get the wireless tethering to work, but it was one of the reasons I wanted to root my phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I randomly figured out the problem myself. Downloaded something on a whim and it actually worked. Let me go through each step so anyone else who has this same problem can try this out.
The majority of what I did can be followed here:
*Can't post the link. Thank you, forum restrictions... It's from a website called "highonandroid.com" so google that with the appropriate keywords (wifi tether, android, etc.).
But in case the link goes dead or something like that, here is a step-by-step reiteration:
1. Download Trev-E's mod for the Wifi Tether for Root Users app. I have the exact version I used attached to this post.
2. Install it, and immediately go to settings and make the following adjustments:
- Change device profile to "Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)."
- Change setup-method to "Netd-Ndc (master)."
- Tick the option "Send Netd Max Client Cmd."
- Tick "Wifi driver reload." The second one did not work for me, but try it if the first reload does nothing.
- Although the original tutorial says to tick "MSS clamping," this option is not available on my phone. But this did not stop the app from working.
3. Exit settings and hit the wifi icon. Fingers crossed it works for you!
After doing that, the app showed no errors in the log, the network name appeared on my computer, and I was able to connect effortlessly. Most importantly, the internet worked!
Also, enabling/disabling the tether DID NOT break my phone's wifi or 3G service. Everything ran fine when I stopped using the app and I didn't need to restart my phone. Putting this out there because I know some phones will trip out when enabling this feature. Good luck! And big thanks to xda's Trev-E for the app.
Thank you! That was driving me nuts trying to tether my GS2 to my tablet. I dont have the clamping option either but its working perfectly when nothing else has.
Nice instructions. I rooted my phone today (root virgin), downloaded the trev-e you have linked and got it to work. (Virgin Mobile Samsung Galaxy SII 4G)
I then tried to use encryption and the phone was just not having it, the internet connection wouldn't work anymore (laptop was connected but said there was no internet access). Frooze up the phone, had to reboot, frooze again, reboot, turn the feature off, freeze, reboot, pull battery etc etc. Finally have it working again with encryption off.
Pretty happy to have tethering working, but wish I could encrypt it haha.
Do I have the wrong TrevE using the stock ROM? (using the TrevE linked in this thread).
Now to learn what else to do in the wonderful world of being rooted...
*** EDIT- Looks like installing busybox fixed the issue!!
Thanks!
Awesome work, follow the instructions if you have virgin mobile it will work perfectly
Opened hotspot but neither my laptop,iPad or any other smartphones can see Wi-Fi hotspot
Picture 2, setup but no device can see or connect
I am having the same problem, also on an Edge. Have you managed to find any solution?
Dude you have it set on "only allowed devices can connect"

I have mine set on visible for all devices and it still isn't seen
Did you configure it?
Yes. Tried every channel manually. Even tried to manually add the network on multiple other devices
Uhh did you pay for it? Mine is tied to my carrier and the text reads "tethering or mobile hotspot"
Well, as far as I know, in my country the tethering is free. Nobody impose any restriction or limit. Or at least that was the case last time I checked. It's true that my phone is bought from a carrier, but it was bought off contract and it was sim unlocked by that carrier at the moment of purchase. More than that, even though it was branded on the software side, I upgraded to the latest firmware hoping it would solve the bug. But it didn't. USB tethetring works fine. Only the wi-fi one doesn't. It enables itself and then doesn't do absolutely nothing...
Tethering in my country is free as well. Not a tethering problem here from carrier. Switched SIM card from Galaxy S6 Edge to my iPhone 6 and it worked perfectly well there. I also tried changing setting to allow connections to all devices and allowed devices only but still no luck.
For those that are having connection problems, is your device Encrypted? Mine is encrypted and I am wondering if there is a bug in encryption to where it does not allow you to connect or use hotspot Tethering if your device is encrypted.
My phone is not encrypted. So I don't think if it has anything to do with that
I am having the same problem with my s6 edge. I do not know what to to.
Have you found any solutions?
+1 to the hotspot issue.
No matter what I do... my wifi hotspot won't be visible to other devices.

Confirmed here as well. Device is encrypted, and tethering used to work while it was encrypted -- so I don't think it's that.
Looks like it's on, but nothing sees the SSID. My wife's S6 works perfectly, and we're on a shared data plan.
So I think it's definitely a bug, and not a setting somewhere.
I have it fixed with a factory reset.
Try it..it worked for me.

That approach suffers from a low Wife Acceptance Factor.
Any other ideas?
I had the same problem. Couldn't connect from iphone, laptop, another android phone. Tried changing SSID. Setting was always set to allow all devices.
Finally went into advanced menu and changed the channel from Auto to Channel 3 and now is SSID is visible to all devices.
Phone is rooted and didn't have to do factory reset.
Hope this helps
Is the option set up like this?
Mobile hotspot>allow all devices to connect

check your usage quota. if you are over, tethering may not function.
that is too funny. just buy here an iPhone. Personally, they just work. However, She did get her attention caught by the S6 Edge-i was suprised. I would never reccommend an android for her. I don't TOUCH her phone-i want NO responsibility for that. I am always breaking (and usually) fixing my s6. I prefer android, but personally it is not as stable as iOS
So the only resolution is to factory reset? I have the same problem, after talking to ATT tech support and 30 min later they told me to replace my sim card at ATT store, but that didn't help either (
