I’ve figured out a way to get tethering to work once with my Lumia 920 on ATT.
The below process has to be repeated every time so it is not really a solution but may help somebody smarter figure out a solution.
Insert ATT SIM
Enable internet sharing (fails with call ATT message)
Insert Vodfone SIM ( I assume any non active sim will work, this one is from an old blackberry )
Enable internet sharing (fails)
Insert ATT SIM
Enable internet sharing (works!)
Only works once though, when you disable and re-enable it goes back to the call ATT message.
Somebody needs to jailbreak this phone so we can change whatever registry setting is causing this.
I'm able to use tethering on my ATT 920 using the access point app, I just re-added the APN settings and that's it
note: I'm using it on a non ATT network

It is known this works fine on other networks if you manage to unlock the 920.
What people want to do is get tethering working on AT&T. It's basically impossible, though. It quickly loads the APN settings when there is an AT&T SIM, and that includes checking the tethering entitlement. We have no registry access so we can't change this behavior, even with the Access Point app. You could on WP7 devices if you had registry access, the same modification should work if there ever is a way to get registry access on WP8.
I tried AT&T ROM, Rogers ROM, and Euro Dev ROM. All of them checked entitlement and told me to call AT&T. I was able to get the Rogers ROM to tether once on first bootup, probably due to the same quirk that allows it to work the way the OP described. Overall it's not a very feasible solution, especially since opening the SIM slot is a pain on the 920. Tethering is one reason why my 920 has been relegated to being a secondary phone and why I use my GN2. Even though I don't really like Android, it is easily modified to allow tethering whether AT&T is happy about it or not.
Ok I understand.
Sidenote: How did you manage to install a non AT&T ROM? I always get the FFU device id mismatch when trying to put a non AT&T rom on the phone.

NCS will allow you to flash the Rogers pre-portico ROM. You can now flash Rogers and Euro ROMs, not sure about AT&T. From there you use the built in upgrade functionality to get Portico. Once you have portico NCS will let you flash Rogers Portico and Euro Portico ROMs. But I was not able to get back to pre-portico or to AT&T from there. I was flashing a 920 with a defective proximity sensor that I mailed back to AT&T the next day, so it didn't really matter.
LTE connectivity was giving issues with non-AT&T ROM. Rogers ROM took a while to connect to LTE (much longer than AT&T ROM) and the Euro ROM never really seemed to connect to LTE.
So, I see Wi-Fi calling and VoLTE is available in PA. I have the Verizon G3 (Obviously) and use T-Mobile as my carrier. Is it possible that the Wi-Fi calling would work for me since I'm on T-Mobile? Is it easy to merge? Does the modem have to be reworked or anything?
I just ported my S5 over from ATT to T-Mobile. I got everything else to work, but the hotspot. I rooted the phone, tried third party hotspot apps, but still can't make it a hotspot. Some of the apps bring up the invalid SIM error, some say the hotspot started, but it doesn't show up. (I don't have it set to hidden).
T-Mobile TS says it is hard wired into the MB to use ATT network and require an ATT SIM. He says the only options are a standalone hotspot or buy a new T-Mobile phone.
My phone specs below.
Any other tricks to make this work?
S5 SM-G900A
Android 4.4.2
baseband ver G900AUCU2ANG3
build KOT49H.G900AUCU2ANG3 APR 16 2014
kernel 3.4.0-964333
I've been very happily using my Verizon prepaid Moto E with the trick to unlock usage of the GSM radio found elsewhere on this forum. The only thing I can't seem to figure out, is how to make the built-in tethering function work. Since I can't root this device (VZ version hasn't managed to get an unlocked bootloader, it seems), I'm stuck using the built in functionality. I tried adding "dun" to the APN type settings, but that didn't work.
Activating the hotspot allows other devices to connect, but they can't "see" the internet. I've heard that this SIM I'm using (freedompop) can be configured to work in phones like the BLU R1 by just adding DUN to the apn type string, but it seems to make no difference on here. I can't confirm if the SIM works with tethering because I don't have access to another unlocked phone at the moment. Can someone help me verify if the problem is with the phone or the freedompop service?
Hey everyone
I have the Canadian variant of the LG G5 (the H831) and I have no LTE option in network mode.
I bought this phone from WIND Mobile (now Freedom Mobile) and it seems like they Disabled the LTE functionality for some reason.
I was wondering if there is a way to enabled it?
I inserted my SIM in my friends phone (same model but with Rogers Wireless) and the phone downloaded the APN settings from Freedom Mobile.
That did not work at all and the phone was stuck on 3G just like my phone.
I heard if I install the firmware from another provider, it might work. However it seems the APN settings from my provider are causing the LTE option to disappear from network mode.
Lastly, I accessed the service menu by dialing a code in the dialer and I was able to enable LTE.
However, I was not able to make and receive phone calls.
Did anyone here have success enabling LTE with this model or similar?
suggestions are greatly appreciated!
