I've noticed that IPv6 doesn't show anymore when I do a network test on my Xbox while using my hotspot. I've checked the APN and it's set-up properly, but I noticed I'm now able to edit the MetroPCS APN and save it, which wasn't available on Android 10.
So no one else with this problem?
What can I do?
The Hotspot seems way less consistent now.

Just wondering why all the new roms are configuring my 3G connection to Wap.Cingular.com?
Has this always been the correct setings, because I remember it use to say connecting to 3G Media.Net instead of GPRS wap.cingular, are they the same? If they aren't does anyone know the correct setting to change it back to media.net?
Sorry i'm just worried about being charged for using the incorrect connection settings
MEdia Net uses wap.cingular for its connection. The only time you might get charged is if you only have a subscription for that, but you're using isp.cingular instead.
Hi all,
Im having a problem connecting to a VPN on my Galaxy S3 (stock ROM, not rooted, running Android 4.0.4). I can connect to the VPN fine when Im on a wifi network, but when I try to connect while on 3G network it just says connecting for about ten seconds then comes up Unsuccessful.
Initially I thought it might have been something to do with the network blocking VPN connections, but it worked fine on my old phone (Desire Z running stock 2.3.3) and still runs fine if I try it on the old phone with a different sim from the same network.
The VPN in question is connecting using PPTP.
Is there some setting on the S3 that determines whether or not a VPN can connect over 3G? Or is there something else that I might be missing?
Cheers.
Are you sure you're using PPTP and not L2TP or OpenVPN on the old phone?
The network _could_ filter VPN based on the SIM-card but it's somewhat unlikely.
Try comparing the Network APN settings of both devices, especially whether one of both has a Proxy configured.
Now that you mention it I think the old phone might be set to use L2TP, but they changed that setting in ICS and I was unable to use L2TP (neither the PSK or RSA options would allow me to connect) so I had to use PPTP. The fact that it is connecting on the S3 when Im connected to wifi I didnt think it would make a difference; do you reckon that could be the cause of the problem?
So I found an app that will allow you to create a WiFi Hotspot in infrastructure mode and not ad-hoc. The phone itself needs to be rooted in order to bypass your carrier's network authentication and set itself up as a WiFi Hotspot setting, but any devices you are trying to connect to the Hotspot will not have to be rooted. The name is WiFi Tether Router and is in the play store. It is a very very useful app. The encryption works lol and so many other things as well. You'll just have to see for yourself! I was able to use it successfully on a my non-rooted Asus tablet connecting to my rooted 4G LTE phone. Worked flawlessly and I didn't have to change hardly any configuration settings, only just the network ssid and password and the channel, but other than that it was great. It also has a data monitor to show data sent and received and total amount of data used, along with managing the clients connected to the Hotspot. Enjoy!
Hello,
I have a ZTE Axon 7, Android version 7.1 and I would like to know who is connecting to my hotspot wifi as I'm using it to share internet connection in 4G and I want to be sure Im sure not hacked, no one else than known devices are connecting.
At least to see the number of current connections would be better than nothing. Do you know if there is a way to limit the number of connection of the hotspot wifi? Unfortunately I don't if it's because of the Miflavor interface of ZTE but I cannot select a number a connection nor even see them..
Thanks!
Hey folks,
Not quite sure where to begin with this one, so I figure I'll just explain what I've done so far and see if any of you have any ideas.
First off, I tinkered with the settings of two DD-WRT hotspots (both 2.4ghz and 5ghz respectively,) but various alterations made no difference, so I restored them to how they were before.
I then set up a wifi hotspot on a spare Note 3 that I have lying around, both in 2.4 and 5, and 5 wouldn't work altogether (giving me a generic error message when trying to initialise the hotspot) while 2.4 worked but just wouldn't connect at all to my A10.
For the record, I am able to *connect* to the router, my A10 is just the only device in the household for which the router doesn't then open up to the greater internet.
I have set up a DHCP entry for the phone, both using its randomly generated local IP address and swapping the name and MAC with a previously established entry that I know works, and I have uaed both auto and manual settings on the device (I use 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 DNS servers so I figured I'd manually input them too).
Either way, the A10 doesn't connect to the internet via wifi, just network data, while all my other devices are fine.
Does anybody have an idea how I can resolve this issue short of sending the device back altogether, or at least for a hardware check/repair?
Thanks for your consideration,
Kaolin
Just grabbed some screenshots of my settings, can get more if these aren't enough. How do I attach them?
update:
I contacted my network provider and they had me reset my overall settings and rebooted, and then after that didn't work, I reset the network settings specifically. Still no change.
I'm concerned that it's a Modem firmware issue, which would suck, because the A10 custom ROM scene is tiny.
