One can't link to HTC Media Link without turning on hotspot - AT&T HTC One (M7)

I can link my EVO 4G LTE to HTC media link HD (got it for free from pre-ordering htc one). However, HTC ONE wouldn't connect to it without turning on the hotspot which I don't have. I was wondering if there's a way to fix this? Has anyone successfully link htc one to the media link hd?

What is your Rom version?

Bump.
I have exact same issue.
Can't figure it out.
I really hope AT&T didn't rig it so we have to get Hotspot through them.

Ditto
Same issue - can't get it to work... and I'm a computer guy! haha.
Called ATT - they were obviously clueless and at first I needed to add hotspot, after refusing they transferred me to HTC. Setup a ticket with them. I'll get back with info once they contact me.
I suspect it's something to do with ATT's customization, surprise surprise.

Same issue - HTC One "2013 M7" at&t
I got it to work by tuning on airplane mode then tuning wifi back on. But once I turn airplane mode off it no longer works.

Not sure how to answer your question. Mine is stock. Android 4.1.2 HTC Sense 5.0. Is that what you are asking?

It should start with 1.xx.x.x

Yup I had this problem too. I'd try to connect and that damn message would cancel out anything I did with it. I tried freezing everything AT&T related through Titanium, but that didn't fix it, so it's part of the ROM.
I flashed a ROM from the international forums (Renovate 1.0) and now I'm able to connect just fine though!

As far as I can tell everything is working perfectly. All the AT&T bloatware is gone, as smooth/smoother than stock, transparent notification shade, back button as menu enabler, etc. Only thing missing is the 4G and LTE icons in the statusbar. I still have LTE I think (haven't tested), but the icons are just different, which isn't a big deal to me. I also dirty flashed this so I didn't lose any data and I haven't encountered any negative side effects.

Can you link us to where you got the files and/or if there are instructions on flashing this? Also I'd like to confirm this is the HTC One, not the One X, V, S or any other phones. I'm still trying to figure out why the hell HTC would call this the "One", other than to make it impossible to search for items for this phone vs the other phones. :-\
Also have you confirmed LTE is working?
Thanks!
P.S. Still haven't heard back from HTC/ATT, but I'd just assume blast away all the bloatware from the get-go.

Same problem here. First says check the input on my TV then says I need to enable hotspot. At one point I was able to connect long enough to change the name of the media link and it even displayed what was on my phone, but then the aforementioned dialogues popup and I am forced to click ok which puts the tv back at the media links initial screen. I've tried both wireless n and g as well as my Panasonic and Vizio tvs. Version number on the media link is 5.19.103.1

Yeah this is the HTC One. No way in hell would I be flashing a One X ROM on my One. The ROM is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2202696
Standard instructions for installing a ROM. Download the file (I used v1.0, not the nightlies), place it on SD card, boot into recovery, install .zip file.
- I said no when it asked to wipe my data before installation (it's an aroma installer).

Something else I just noticed, the media link is connecting to my wireless network and it displays the SSID and full signal strength. However, as soon as I try to push content to the TV, via the 3 finger swipe up, the wifi signal strength drops to nothing and it attempts to do the whole tethering nonsense. Also, "filter multicast" is in option on my router, but it is disabled. I figure I'll just keep this going since not everyone will want to flash a new ROM just to fix this.

I'm not sure when, but I'm sure HTC/AT&T will release an update to get this working properly. My Media Link is still 'pending shipment'.

I've talked to both att and htc for a couple hours and both of them are casting the blame on the other.
att tried to tell me once that i needed a hot spot plan... until i explained the technology to them and said how my One X connects just fine without a sim card in it.... and they quickly take it back
eventually they both tell me there should be an update to fix it yada yada yada

Well hopefully someone will come up with a fix before then...I don't have much confidence in them patching it unless it's pretty widespread. Not many people complaining of it yet

i can already see AT&T behind this. Turn on hotspot, accuse users of using the hotspot, remove unlimited data plans. makes total sense to me.

Radio Issue

Ok so today out of no where my phone just stopped talking calls, cant make calls, i can recieve texts but i cant send them. I also cant open my text inbox.. for example if i click on a contact inside the inbox, it just says loading and the green icon just spins and does nothing..
i reflashed my same radio i used thinking it was a problem there, but it hasnt fixed anything..
also i noticed that on my lock screen right above the time it does not say verizon wireless anymore, it just shows the time and date.. it used to say it above the clock.
im running bamf and have loved it for quite some time now, until this just happened..

You say you don't see VZW on the lockscreen. Have you check to see if maybe your phone is roaming or out of service area?

haha I can see the reply being "I fixed it.. Had to mail my first born child to Verizon. Phone works again.."
On a serious note, that is odd that it just randomly happened. Did you flash anything new or remove anything?
Somehow one of my lte settings on my banf menu changed by its self.. so it was one of the settings where their was no 3g or 4g and no service either, like the 4th from the top..
either way the phone works again now because i use the cdma auto/prl (i think) one so i always use my phone in 3g, but the internet hasnt came back on yet.. i tried the first choice and the 4g one (cdma/lte auto) or whatever it is and i cant get 3g or 4g..
can anyone recommend me a good radio to use. my phone just has 2.3.4 and bamf gingeremix on it, if i have to be more specific i can to try and narrow the best radio for my phone.. i guess i might as well ask what is the "best" Radio?
What are the significances of the different ones? like range or service quality.. thats the only thing i dont understand..

All radios work differntly with each thunderbolt. best way to test is run each radio for a few days and find the best one for your individual phone. Best of luck
Since your running 2.3.x you will need to make sure you load a MR2 or greater radio. I don't think Froyo radios will not work on GB. I'm no expert on any of this yet still learning the ins and outs. I remember reading that on one of the forums I frequent though.
I'm running 2.11.605.3 RUU and have had excellent signal so far. The list

Problems with the amaze so far...

Here are a few problems I have with the amaze so far...
1) Fluctuating service. I hate this. I will have all the bars showing and then all of a sudden I get no service. What's up with that? The sensation would at least holds two bars at all times. (Oh and no wifi calling!)
2) Overheating issue. This phone gets too hot for no reason. For example I browse for 15 minutes and bam..its really hot. I make sure I exit apps by hitting the back button and my brightness is at 15%. There's no excuse for this.

4) wifi turning off??? I could be on wifi for a good hour and everything is OK, then I turn on the phone again to use it and I'm not connected to wifi anymore. I manually turn wifi on and off to get it to work again.
5) On the bottom in between the menu and back key my amaze has some light leaking through. Its tiny. I didn't notice it until it was completely dark but its there and now I can't help but keep staring at it. I wish I had a camera to take a picture of it.
6) Lastly and the most annoyong thing for me is a clicking sound. When I pick up the phone it sounds like something getting snapped in place. And its almost everytime. Wtf is that. haha.

the no wifi calling thing sucks, will be fixed with root/update so meh
my battery drains about 50% when i'm sleeping, though this may be to mediocre service that goes in and out, going to try and shut mobile network off tonight and see if it fixes the issue
Though I agree with most of the other "problems" ya'll have listed...
I was told by 3 representatives, and one sales person (who sold me the phone) that you have to activate the new sim card included with the device to take advantage of the new wifi-calling that T-Mobile is rolling out (this includes the new GSII on t-mo). - I spoke with so many because none of them could activate the new sim correctly...and were baffled themselves as to why it was so difficult...haha.
Honestly, I havent been able to test wifi calling because the place where I'm renting has never worked with mobile devices, except for apple devices (of course...haha). I may report back here later when i go somewhere else with wifi.
Just wanted to pass on some info I was told by 4 separate people - they all claimed that's what a memo showed on their system when they pull up the AMAZE and GSII.
I come from a mytouch 4g, i have the same issue, suddenly i have no service then it's back on again. Never had that with the mytouch...
Well, I have had mine since launch day. I have a little but not much light bleed. I have had no heating issues. Last night out at bars I saw the signal issue. One sec I could speed test and pull down 14. Then I would notice no 4G symbol, try to speed test again and it would say no signal. Still love it though, nice and fast!!
My buttons light up when it's dark, but not when it's light. Is there anyway to turn this light sensor off and keep these lights on so I can see my home, menu etc buttons?

Definately seems there is a (buttons) light sensor, they do basically stay on at night, not in daytime.
Prolly see some update/option to this in the future, keep em' on or leave to the sensor.

The sim is not controlling the software, but it can affect what information is communicated with t-mobile.
I don't know what you mean by you don't have this feature. Among other ways to activate the hotspot capability, you should find the "Wi-Fi Hotspot" app on the device.
Just to repeat/clarify my original statement/post: The Amaze 4G and the GS II (according to others) allow you to activate the wifi hotspot feature, have your other wifi-enabled devices connect to your phone, but when you try to access the internet with those wifi-enabled devices, you are prompted to upgrade your plan to include the $15/mo. plan.
I hope this is clear to all.
Te whole service popping in and out is starting to drive me nuts!!!! 3 bars of 4g then nthing! 1 bar of 4g then it turns into 2 bars of 2g! WTH!?!?!? Never had soo many reception issues on ANY of my Tmo phones!
Dosent seem to matter where I am when this happens as it happens often, far too often!
I have to assume that of all the connection point inside the back cover of the phone at least ONE of them is some sort of antenna?????
Cmon Tmo?!?!?
Even if it does warm up, I doubt that you will feel it if you put it in a case. Unless the phone is burning up..then yeah.
I am coming from a HTC sensation 4G and it had WiFi calling and WiFi hotspot feature.
The manual that comes with the amaze shows how to use WiFi calling also the one on HTC's site,
If I could put the sensation Rom on the amaze I would be happy as the sensation had what I want working,
I love the feel of the Amaze it feels much more masculine and fits nice in my big hands I find my self not mistakenly touching the softkey's as much.
Also I can seem to figure out where 4gb or the Rom is as it shows only 9gb for storage and 2gb for something else
On another note I have seen a post that shows an Amaze with WiFi calling, the had an earlier firmware,

I'm probably going to get flamed for this, but you guys can probably still exchange the Amaze for the SGS2. I'm really not having any of the problems described here. It dropped the GPS once yesterday... that's about it so far.

why would you get flamed. only 99% of the people on this site know more about the devices theyre holding and things their carrier offers to them then the actual employees, one of the most known things probably being the grace period you have to return/swap out your phone if you want... noooo, no reason to be flamed.

To those who are experiencing issues with the Amaze especially after returning it a million times before buyers remorse is up, I recommend testing out the GS2 aka Hercules. Other than the resolution this phone is really great. The resolution isn't that noticeable unless you have OCD.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I jumped ship to the GSII. So far I'm happier. The amaze does have more bells and whistles but it was a bit heavy for me and the GS II has got - not substantially - but improved battery life and a more visually appealing screen. Also my eyes aren't great, so I actually appreciate the lower resolution screen which keeps the icons bigger. I can see the pixels easier than on the qhd of the amaze, but i have to be "looking for them" to really notice.
Some people are having better luck with their Amaze so just like a ton of other companies out there these days...there's a big quality control issue.
Looking service is really getting on my nerves now and i dont like this any more. Wonder if there will a fix for this from HTC or Tmobile

[Q] problems with htc amaze 4g

I have got Amaze last week, but there are two main problems with this device.
First, the "power off" button doesn't work sometimes, no responses when I long press the button.
Second, after installing some apps(about 60), wifi has some problem---when the
screen off and I open again, the wifi is automatically cut off. Even though there is a wifi "label" on top of the screen, I can't browse internet. Then I manually cut off the wifi and connect again, it works. But everytime the screen closes( u know, it is unwise to keep the screen always on), the wifi will be cut off automatically. I don't know the reason. I have changed a new one this week but same problems arise!!! I am driven crazy!!! Could sb nice to help me????
besides, I have tried "factory reset", and problems will go. but when I install apps again, problem rises again...
I'm having the same issue with the power off. It was working earlier but it looks like it stopped after I applied the htc update. I've been working all day and that's the only change
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA App
htc maybe do the same error like nexus one :/
I have issue even before update!! then how do u deal with the problem now???
what is the problem with nexus one???
to solve the wifi problem....
go to settings, then click on wireless and networks,
scroll down to wifi setting and click
On the wifi settings page touch the second capacitive button on the phone, then click on advanced settings..
On advanced settings page, change the wifi sleep policy to never..
This should solve your problem
same problem happened to me today, data reset the phone power off button problem will be resolved.
I'm having this problem now...and the wifi fix didn't work.
Any other ideas?

Found this surfing:
"Thank you for contacting HTC Technical support about the issue you are having with not being able to power off your device Amaze device. I do apologize that you have this issue with your device and I will gladly assist you with this today. You have security credentials checked, a password set,and Fastboot off. You must either turn off security credentials or enable Fastboot. For the Fast Boot option to work you will need to re-enable the Storage Credentials(under security settings) and enter the password once more. Then, enable Fast-Boot and you should be able to safely power cycle."
That last one worked for me. Not sure *which* - I turned on fastboot *and* turned on security credentials.
* edit *
But after the test reboot, it stopped working again...check settings, and security credentials is off - but fastboot is still on.
Turn on security credentials again, and the power button starts working.
I'm not going to re-re-reboot it, though...yet.

I just picked up my Amaze today. I had gotten a new SIM card just two weeks ago, but the TMO folks said I had to use the one that came with the Amaze because it supported the high speed downloads; older cards would not be as fast.

I have spotty 4G coverage here. My old phone was the HD2, which is 3g. Just today I happened to get into a 4G solid area and I loaded Google Maps - nearly instant load of terrain and satellite. Those would have taken several seconds on my HD2, or my wife's Exhibit II. So I think it is indeed faster if one lives in the right area.
I can't say what difference there is in SIM cards, because I have only had the new one that came with the Amaze in the device.

[Q] [ATT] Phone loses data connection after lock

Hello,
I just got the HTC One X+ from ATT. On my old Atrix I used it to listen to the radio through TuneIn or iHeartRadio all day at work.
Since I got the One X, it seems to lose its data connection a couple of minutes after the phone goes into lock, especially if I get an email notification. I've turned off the power saver setting and even unchecked the power saver options.
Is anyone else seeing this? Is there a fix? Do any of the custom ROMs fix this? I've rooted it using the AIOTK, but that didn't help.
Thanks,
Simon

This happens on all AT&T devices that I know of. My personal opinion is it's the quality (or lack there of) in AT&T SIM cards.

It didn't happen on my Atrix running CM9, so I thought that it may have been a setting somewhere. Every time I unlock the phone the streaming picks up automatically.

Interestingly my phone dropped to edge for some unknown reason and I wasn't having any problems. I rebooted to get back to 4G and suddenly the problems started occurring again. This is my first true 4G phone, the Atrix was HSPDA+ (or whatever). Maybe its a network issue?

I'm pretty sure it is NOT a micro sim issue. Probably has to to with HTC/ATT wanting to save as much battery as possible. Same reason they changed the multitasking, saves battery. Have you called support about it? That is a genuine complaint, it shouldnt happen.

Not yet, I thought I'd post here where I might actually get help.
I have this issue as well, and I'm pretty sure it's not an ATT specific issue since I never had the issue on my HTC Inspire 4G (DHD). Not when it had stock gingerbread, not on ICS, and not on JB. first time I've ever had the issue was on this device. I suppose it could be something specific to LTE, but that'd strike me as odd since bandwidth doesn't appear to be an issue on it, and streaming music doesn't take much. Like, 192kbps music stream out of the 45mbps I typically get in my area.

Hello,
I just got the HTC One X+ from ATT. On my old Atrix I used it to listen to the radio through TuneIn or iHeartRadio all day at work.
Since I got the One X, it seems to lose its data connection a couple of minutes after the phone goes into lock, especially if I get an email notification. I've turned off the power saver setting and even unchecked the power saver options.
Is anyone else seeing this? Is there a fix? Do any of the custom ROMs fix this? I've rooted it using the AIOTK, but that didn't help.
Thanks,
Simon

I stream music in my car over LTE to my BT radio and I don't have any problems for hours. Do you have an android market task killer or battery optimizer installed?

Me too. I didn't have any issues with my previous phone, but it didn't have LTE. It's hard to narrow down exactly whats happening.

No, I don't now and I didn't before I rooted it either. I will probably take it into an ATT store tomorrow and see what they say.

Lol, they won't be any help. Since you're already rooted, I would try another ROM to see if it happens.

Perhaps this is an HSPA connectivity issue. OP, are you on LTE or HSPA when this typically happens?
I noticed that this happens with the WiFi signal as well.

[Q] GPS Won't Connect, Tried (Just About) Everything

For the past couple of weeks my GPS hasn't been able to connect to any satellites. For quite some time I was running Tachyon 1.2 (while I was S-On) with no problems. Then, one day I'm out of state and really need my GPS and it simply won't connect to any satellites. I've tried many different things to try to get GPS working. I've tried flashing CM 11, LiquidSmooth 3.2, down to Tachyon 1.1.5 all to no avail. I've used: GPS Assist, Both GPS Status programs I found in the Google Play Store (the blue one and the one with a gray/orange satellite dish looking thing), and the GPS Fix app from the play store. I recently used REV3NT3CH's guide to downgrade and factory reset my HTC Rezound. It's weird being back to stock, but GPS still does not work. I have also tried switching back covers with someone else who has a Rezound...again nothing. I am now S-Off with a relocked bootloader.
My phone is from Verizon and I'm now on the stock 4.0.3 and the HTC Sense version is 3.6
Software number: 4.03.605.2 710RD
HBOOT-2.28.0000
RADIO-2.23.10.0123r/2.23.10.0124r
I'm rooted and using TWRP 2.7.0.1 for recovery
I was wondering if there's anything else I should try, or if there's a .zip or .apk I can flash that will help the GPS?
This is my first time posting, but I've been looking on these forums for years...ever since I got a HTC Droid Eris a very long time ago!
It actually sounds like you are not making contact GPS antenna contacts in the back cover... check your contacts for a solid connection, corrosion, or try another back cover. I am not saying it's not possible for the GPS receiver to go bad, but I can't recall hearing of one doing it in the Rezound, but I can tell you that, just like the other radios in this handset, if you take off the back cover, don't have it on solid, use an aftermarket back cover, or anything else causing a bad connection, it will fail to get signal.

I appreciate you getting back to me. I use the standard back cover, and I have tried a different back cover from another HTC Rezound. Do you know which connections I should take a closer look at? Looking at the connections, they look good, clean and gold...no corrsion or anything like that. Both back covers look identical as far as the where they connect with the antennas.
Sorry, I do not know which it is, and I may have been wrong... This is the only image I could find with labels and GPS is not one of them from what I can tell

I appreciate you getting back to me. I've tried a couple of different covers and about every fix I could find in the Play store. I think it may be time for a new phone for me. :crying: Thanks again for your help.

Sorry, but sounds like time for a new phone... But I think you will be amazed at the difference in battery life, weight, and performance of the newer phones like the HTC One, LG G2/3, and Galaxy S5, compared to the Rezound.

Been thinking about the HTC One or the LG G2. I'm still going month-to-month on an unlimited data plan (from Alltel) on Verizon, so I'm looking for a phone that's a little more reasonable in price...been looking on Swappa for a little bit. Recommendation on either of those two phones?

If you are into rooting and romming, go with the HTC One M7, its a solid device. The G2 is great, although custom ROMs have a tendency to break the GPS and occasionally the screen (search out G2 screen lines on custom ROM and you will see what I mean), but even with that said the G2 is a solid device and the battery life is astounding... We have both in my family, my son has the One and I have the G2 as a work phone, as well as one of my other sons and his mom have the G2.
