[Q] Setting up hotspot - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all.
(Apologies if this thread is in the wrong forum/should be a continuation of another thread ... I haven't been here for 2 years or so and it didn't seem right to post this in the sticky.)
I set up an alternative APN as per the instructions, and it works fine. Have data connection, can make calls, etc.
However, when I try to set up the Wireless Hotspot option on the phone, it seems to take forever. It pops up a message saying (essentially) "Make sure you have permission to do this. Also it will drain your battery," and then it starts setting up the hotspot.
The problem is, I've been sitting at "Setting up data link" for about 10 minutes now, and I can't cancel it unless I reboot the phone.
Is anyone else having this problem? How long does the hotspot enable take you guys?

Make sure that as the APN Type you enter "default"

Christ, I accidentally hit "tab" and lost my whole reply. Gonna try to recreate it.
I saw that in the stickied thread. I couldn't update my post because I am apparently not verified and need to wait 5 minutes between posts, and I needed to drive to work.
For reference, here's the post that talks about that:

FYI to get tethering to work you need to set the custom APN type to default:
APN Type: default
Otherwise the hotspot never fully starts.

... When I set APN Type to "default" - you actually have to type in the word "default" because it is a text box that pops up, there is not a "default" radio button to select - a new message displays in the notification bar that now says "Account not set up for Wi-Fi hotspot - To enable, go to att.com/mywireless or dial 611 ..."

It seems some people have had success with repeated reboots ... going to try that now.
For the record, here are my settings:
Name: AT&T
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: <not set>
Port: <not set>
Username: [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1
Server: <not set>
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: <not set>
APN type: default

I get the same error about calling 611, I have the iphone unlimited plan so PHONE and PDPWAP1 apns are set up on network side. There seems to be a check script that runs before the hotspot turns on
Hope y'all figure this out, it is past me.

for me, having "default" set in APN type gave me the message to call 611 to activate. However, with my APN set up exactly how it appears in that stickied thread, it would just hang on setting it up. However, I just kept trying it, between reboots, and it finally launched the hotspot. I changed the settings and applied WPA security...
so, for me, it didn't work right out of the gate, but stick with that APN in the other thread and be patient. turn it on and wait... if it takes "too long", reboot and try again. It did finally turn on when I was at my office (full 5 bars of service, strongest "3G" signal in town) vs. at my fiance's house where I only have 1-2 bars of 3G (ok, H+) where I tried to first launch hotspot (and it hung on "setting up data link").

I've tried restarting the phone 3 or 4 times.
I also have a grandfathered unlimited data plan (my last phone was the Tilt - TytnII, so that shows you how long it's been since I've bothered screwing with phones and stuff).
Does anyone who's gotten the hotspot to work have unlimited data?
[edit]Also, I haven't rooted my device yet. Has anyone gotten the hotspot to work without rooting?
Thanks.

I have the unlimited data plan and have been messing with this stuff a while too
edit: oh, and I'm rooted. Not sure if that matters, but it might.

I figured out how to kick start the hotspot without multiple reboots.
Set the APN as described and then start the hotspot.
When you get the message that it's setting up the link, go and manually start up WiFi... it will kill the hotspot. Then go back and enable the hotspot while WiFi is on.
It will kill WiFi and start the hotspot without issue.
I only had to do this once.
I've found that if WiFi is enabled before you start the hotspot feature, it works fine.
Whenever WiFi is off, the hotspot has issues starting up.
It's almost like there is a call in the hotspot initiation sequence that wants to kill WiFi before running, but hangs if the WiFi service is already disabled.
Anyway... this worked for me, your mileage may vary.

OK, so now my hotspot is working.
I'm not sure how it happened. I'll list my steps.
I enabled hotspot.
Then, while it was setting up, I turned on wi-fi.
Then I went back to hotspot, and clicked "enable" again.
Hotspot was all, "I can't set up".
Then I went to the APN, and changed the APN type from "default" to blank.
Then I got a message that the hotspot was working.
I think it might have been two "Hotspot enables" running at the same time that let me start up.
I will try diabling and re-enabling the hotspot to see if it works, and also changing the APN type back to "default" to see what happens.
I will let you know.
Best,
~Viper
[Update]
I can now enable/disable hotspot at will and it continues to work. I have set the APN Type back to "default" with no change.
I think the solution is this:
Enable Hotspot
Enable Wifi
Enable Hotspot
Do them quickly, and the first attempt at hotspot setup will fail (expected) but the second hotspot attempt will not attempt to verify, so you can get a hotspot. After that, it will enable any time you want.
Hope this works for other people, and thanks to rjohnstone for the help.

Worked perfectly for me. Thanks!

Well I have tried it a couple if different ways and have it yet to work for me. For some reason after I start the hot-spot and then start WiFi it doesn't kill the hot-spot. I tried it immediately after starting hot-spot and even half way through but no luck for me. I hope someone figures this out soon.

Start the hotspot, then start wifi. Then go back to the "mobile hotspot" tab.
Is the checkbox checked, unchecked, or disabled? For me, the checkbox was unchecked even though in my "process area" on the task bar there was still the hotspot icon. If the box is unchecked, check it. What you'll see (maybe) is that the hotspot fails ... and then suddenly succeeds! (ymmv)
~Viper

I don't seem to be able to by-pass the part where my account is checked. It comes back telling me that my account is not enabled and to call 611.
My phone is rooted and the APN is set up as listed above. Any thoughts?
UPDATE: Turned out that if I removed the 'default' in the APN type field it works. Go figure.....

Well I got it to work, I took out the default entry for the APN type. It worked after that. Although I did connect through wireless with my laptop and I get a limited connection telling me I have no actual Internet Connection. I waited for some time and have since reestablished connection with my phone and restarted Tethering but it doesn't seem to work. At least I am closer.

duuuuuuuh. yeah I missed that detail.

No hitch, Worked perfectly. I screwed up at first and did not save and reboot immediatly so it did not stick on the APN that I made and kept switching back to the default.
Did the entire sequence over following the directions EXACTLY and worked no problem.

Great Work.
Thanks for the easy to follow instructions. I am pretty sure that it worked for me as well. I will have to wait untill I get into an area with 3g service. It won't allow me to start the service while on this goofy edge network. Guess I need stilts for my house...

I was experiencing the same issue, removed the default from the apn type and it connected right away...
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

What I did and it worked right away was I set up the new APN then added the default to type, tried the wifi tether didnt work told me to call 611 then I took the default off saved it and tried tether again and it worked right away... infact it works better this way that the way it comes out of the box. It took forever to connect out of the box and it would mess up too. Thanks everyone for the helpful posts

AT&T Settings for WM6.1

I called AT&T today cause i got the WM6.1 Standard ROM and my internet wouldnt work, and they gave me the GPRS and Proxy settings if anyone is interested in getting the settings.
Erm... Were you going to share them?
Go to Start->Settings->Connections->GPRS
if there isnt a setting for A&T already, click new. (name it what you want)
Connects To: The Internet
Access Point: wap.cingular
Leave the rest blank
Click Done, then go to Proxy Settings
Again, if there isnt any settings for AT&T, click new. (name it what you want)
Connects From: The Internet
Connects To: WAP Network
Proxy (name: port): wireless.cingular.com:80
Type: HTTP
Leave the rest blank.
Should work like a charm.
Also, under Internet Explorer, make sure you have 'automatically detect settings' checked under the connection settings in the browser.
Hmmm, I only put the GPRS settings in and it worked, but I constantly loose my connection, I wonder if I need to put in the proxy settings. Guess I try it and see. Gets real irritating when the connection drops all of the time.
Thanks for the info
I entered both sets of settings, and it works flawlessly. Thanks!

[Q] (Q) Data connection is gone after firmware flashing - How to fix??

I'll try to make this post as short as possible while still including all the details. I own an unlocked samsung galaxy s 2 in the US and have ATT as my provider.
After flashing different ROMs and firmware (exynos, lite'ning, cognition and the chainfire version of my firmware to be exact), my data connection is gone. I wrestled with it yesterday to no avail, because in the end my "Mobile network state" is always disconnected. Today, however, I changed the apn settings to the old ATT "wap" settings and the internet was restored. The speeds were somewhat slow, but i didn't care so long as they remained functioning. About two hours later - the connection crapped out. Oh, and I should also mention - I got a new sim card from ATT today assuming that my issue was a messed up and card from flashing too many roms with it still inside. Needless to say, that didn't work.
So, I'm here now attempting all sorts of remedies with no luck. ATM I am on cog 5.1 with the "correct" apn settings found here on xda, which hasn't worked either.
Has anyone else has this issue of losing their data connection altogether (although keeping wifi)? Does anyone have suggestions that might bring the data back to life?
Thanks!

what correct* apn settings are you using?
I'm using "phone" for the APN and leaving the rest blank (with the exception of APN type, which is internet).
Just minutes ago I reset to default APNs one more time to see if it would work, but nothing. I'll try the wap.cingular APN now to see if it at least picks up some data.

If you are still ' Rom hunting' as such, it is always a good idea to use program like apn manager so you dont have to manually enter your settings after every flash.
As my provider has nearly every field full, it can be a very timely exercise every time you change roms - lets face it, it can take some time to find the one we love

Those settings, wherever they're from, WORK. I had memorized the other common one already, so as soon as I saw the differences in yours I knew it would work. Unfortunately, I (literally) couldn't thank you enough for it.
Is that apn yours personally or just dug up from elsewhere here on XDA? I'm hoping it stands the test of time and continues to work after tonight... The speeds are all over the place for some reason, but at this point it doesn't matter to me, I'm just glad I don't need a WIFI connection at all times.
Oh, and the APN manager is downloading as we speak - good call. I've followed DG's from when I had my captivate a while back, so I'm gonna continue testing Cognition out for a little longer. Maybe like another day - then back to flashing =)

Free thethering no long free?

I have ENERGY rom, pretty cool rom! Anyways I have an issue. I was using my usb tethering to download a different rom. It was speeding, 1mb/s
Then all of a sudden I started getting text messages from t mobil saying if I want to use tethering I need to pay 15 bucks a month. This was not the case before and I do not use tethering often.
Did I raise a red flag or is this just an OS glitch?
It's a t-mobile wanting you to pay thing, you can get around it, not that hard,
I know that but the free tethering feature is included in NRG rom, why would all of a sudden it stop working?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26908332&postcount=1
The app is free because it's a stock app but the service isn't free. It's not hard to comprehend..

Comprehend? lol Your not even understanding what I am asking, you should re-read what I asked. I asked, it was working before and now it is no longer working, why? Was it because I was tethering to my computer and was downloading a file that was downloading at an abnormally fast speed? File did not download, it stop half way, and that's when I started getting the t-mobil message.

Interesting, thank you hasoon2000 I do appreciate your time and help, your the best I will try that now and see how it goes. I am still curious, how can they block/bypass the free tethering hack?
Update-
I followed the instructions to the letter, and I am still unable to tether. I do have 2 questions that the guide does not answer.
I created a new APN using these settings
Name: T-Mobile US
APN: epc.tmobile.com
Proxy:
Port:
Username: (leave this blank)
Password: (leave this blank)
Server: (leave this blank)
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy:
MMS Port:
MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Type: (leave this blank)
I then went and downloaded the Wifi teather app and performed the following.
1. Install the app.
2. Open WiFi Tether.
3. Press the Menu Button.
4. Click Settings.
5. Click "Change Device-Profile".
6. If you are on Gingerbread, choose your Actual Device!
6.1 If you are on Ice Cream Sandwich, choose "Generic ICS".
7. If you are on T-Mobile, Scroll down and MUST select "Routing Fix".
7.1 Depending on your Carrier, you may need to select Routing Fix.
8. Tether away! (Just don't go over your data!)
Instructions number 6, I have 2 Generic ICS/JB, one called Generic ICS/JB wlan0 and Generic ICS/JB WLAN1. I went with 0.
Under APN, I see the new one I created (T-Mobil US) and I see the original one (T-Mobile Data), I can select between the 2. But I also see a third one that I can not select called T-Mobile MMS. I selected T-Mobile US, didn't work, went to T-Mobile Data, didn't work either.
I must be doing something wrong. Any ideas?
I was having the same problem but the APN trick alone worked. I created a new APN named "Sneaky", but I didn't set the MMSC, or even have the option for MMS Protocol. With these changes alone the stock app works again. I don't even use an aftermarket 1. All my other setting are the same as yours. Maybe having TMobile in the name? Seems stupid but not sure why it wouldn't work for you...

My comprehension is fine. You get the message because Tmo detected that you're tethering without the tethering plan. So, like I said before, the app is free but the service is not. The work around that Hasoon informed us does work, for me anyway. Good luck.

You pointed out the obvious without providing a solution or an answer to my question. You did comprehended the 2nd time though and answered it, which I appreciate. I already know I am not paying for a service, I am merely curious as to why it stopped working. I figured they might have some sort of system that detects miss usage or something which you just now confirmed.
For whatever reason it is still not working after using the setting above. Somewhat angry at T-Mobil, they have screwed up my service for the most part of the year, and some idiot made a dmistake on my account, which resulted on the creation of a second account (not an add on line) a few years ago, which was put on military suspension (I'm not in the military and I did not put the hold) soon after it was opened, and now they are charging 154 bucks for using the line. I never even knew that line existed and I have had 3 reps tell me they screwed up yet they will not do anything about the fact that they sent me to collection without first discussing it with me. T-Mobil about to get sued on the first of November if it hits my credit, lawyer confirm I can sue them. Trying so hard to solve this issue with them and they just don't want to do anything about it even after admitting their mistake.
It's still not working, if its working for you and many others, why wouldn't it work for me? Should I delete the default APN?
Damn, that's sucks. If you have the 5gb data plan or even unlimited then you can ask if the tethering plan option is free. I believe another work around is to make the phone think that your tethering to another Android device. I seen that posted somewhere and will have to dig to find out how they achieved it using a laptop.
Anyone else can chime in if they already have that info available off hand.

[Guide]HTC EVO 4G LTE Setting for Verizon Prepaid

So, I had my phone flashed and rooted but it had a very old version that was crashing on me like crazy. Obviously, they guy who did the job and sold it to me, warned me to not use LTE and he had configured it to be disabled by default.
There is a configuration setting that got reset after I updated to Jelly Bean, which by the way there was another update that I just received today. (Ver: 3.16.651.3 710RD).
So I know how frustrating it gets when you want the Internet to properly work including video playback and also MMS settings. There is actually a video on how to configure these things but I just wanted to drop these settings here for everyone that can't view videos to just read them. So here are the steps to follow for: (connection lost to server, retry... etc). My phone does not have "root" and everything works flawlessly. Flash is kept after software updates so, no need to reflash if you update HTC Software.
Dial ##3282# then enter the pass which by default is 000000 unless you have changed it to something else when changing prl.
After that is done you should see the EPST configuration panel, if checked, uncheck USB Charging that's at the bottom.
Navigate to: Advanced>RTSP/HTTP Setting for RSTP Proxy IP just tap it and enter the following:
RTPS Proxy IP = 0.0.0.0
RTSP Proxy Port (mine is 554) and works fine
HTTP Proxy IP = 0.0.0.0
HTTP Proxy port 8085
Now; go back using the back "<" illuminated button on the bottom and configure Advanced>MMSC Settings as follows (tap to configure):
MMSC = h ttp://mms[dot]vtext[dot]com/servlets/mms and hit ok
MMS Proxy (leave it blank, erase whatever is there)
MMS Port enter 8080 and hit ok
MMS Protocol (I'm using 2.0)
The next trick is to download Go SMS Pro from app store and configure its settings as follows:
Tap the squared boxed button that's at the left top corner and then select "Settings" from the pop up screen.
Navigate to: MMS Settings>MMSC enter h ttp://mms[dot]vtext[dot]com/servlets/mms MMS Proxy, mine is blank so I don't know if there is an actual value for it; and for MMS Port enter 8080
Exit out from it and it should save it.
This should enable to you to send MMS however, when attaching photos to send, always choose MMS icon that's on the left when you get the screen options of smiley face, mic, go with hand icon, paint, last is the MMS icon, you should always select it when sending MMS otherwise it will send link instead of the actual image.
== Additional working features with these configuration settings ===
Now, comes WiFi Thetering, at the time of this post I was having trouble connecting to the Internet since I moved to my new apartment so I lost my Internet because I haven't called in for a new service. I became curious about my internet connection. I had tried it before and it failed to keep its connection alive. I would get error, disconnected from wireless service etc etc. It would never connect and it worked one time luckily. However after I lost it, it never worked again, I read today from an article about the USB Charging option with custom ROM however mine is stock. So, I disabled USB debugging from settings and connected it while it was open and it worked fine, it hasn't disconnected since then, however the USB Debugging check appeared again after I had it connected. It could be USB debugging setting that is messing the connection, so try disabling it and connecting with USB.
I haven't tried hotspot yet as I want to publish this before disconnecting since I don't have Internet but from my phone's. If you have something to add, or have a question, just post it here. I will try to help, as for the configuration, everything works fine, Facebook, Pandora, twitter, fast internet speeds, and also Youtube. Did I mention the speeds for WiFi tethering is duper fast? Yeah, it's almost like any regular Internet service, very fast. I"m using Windows 8 Pro 64-bit btw
LTE?
Do these settings get the LTE working or is it just 3g?

Getting MMS to work on RingPlus

A number of folks have posted about the inability to send or receive MMS in various threads, especially the RR and CM threads, without an answer. Let's work together to try to solve the problem.
I'm on the latest version of Resurrection Remix. Hoping for more guidance, as MMS works when I go back to stock... but who wants that?
The error I get back from Textly is: Failed MMS: Turn on Mobile Data (tap to resend)

Using Qksms and with the custom mms apn settings, I can get it to send using 1x. It will not send using 3G or LTE. Maybe someone can modify the apn-conf.xml in /system/etc to make mms only use 1x.
I changed the bearer under settings->cellular->apn->ringplus to 1x and unspecified but it still wont use 1x for mms. I suspect it is just missing an entry in the system apn-conf.xml.
I do not know what the values are or what entries are missing or will test it out.
This is kind of embarrassing, but I got MMS to work now. I thought for sure that mobile data was turned on, but a recent update must've turned it off.
That, and I also just re-flashed the APN settings for RingPlus: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...t/flashable-lte-fix-moto-e-6-x-boost-t3290719
I don't know which of those things ultimately fixed it, but it's now working for me, even on LTE (via Textly... I don't want to go back to the stock messaging window).

I still can only send/receive when I change to 1x or 1xRTT. But it's fine. I don't use mms much. I get the free 100 mms a month but hardly use it.
This is on CM13 official build. Maybe resurrection remix is a few build behind. It used to work on LTE for me.
