Does anyone know if there is currently a way to tether the HTC Surround to a laptop. Evidently there is a backdoor way to do this with a Samsung Focus. Is anyone working on this for the Surround?
Not at this point. I think there may be a backdoor way to activate it like in the Samsung.

Yes but we need it now!!
I can't even find any information regarding how to access the Diagnosis Mode in an HTC Surround... Do you know how to?
Thanks!
Wow...don't be impatient. ##3282# is the code for Field Test, but there's nothing there that we can use.

Yes, I am sorry. Is just that I really need tethering for work. And yesterday I lost my Samsung Focus, so I am with a Surround right now but I really do miss my Samsung...
Do you think that with the No Donuts update for WP7, we can have access via an HTC Surround?
Doubt it can be done backdoor...AT&T thinks data is gold and doesn't leave us a whole lot of options.
BTW, Just checked my feature options on AT&T, they have smartphone enterprise tethering listed as a data option (2GB for $60/mo.) If you are that desparate, you'll have to do it that way.

Thanks for the quick reply. That is not an option for me, because I live in Costa Rica, not in the US. Also, tethering here is free, I just pay 8 dollars fix and I have unlimited Data connection and tethering. I was doing just great with my Focus. I think my only option is to buy another Focus...
I hate HTC for not allowing this kind of things, and also for blocking the option to change Display language from English to Spanish. In the Focus you can do that with no problems...
Not HTC
It appears as though it is not HTC that is putting the blocks on, it is the carrier. That's just what I have been reading. I'm sure that there will be a way eventually, as there are strides being made to cracking htis thing wide open.

If it is a carrier subject, why the Samsung Focus is a complete different story also AT&T branded?
Good Point
Good Point, like I said, that's just what I've been reading. I think that it's definitely something that will be fixed, based on the large amount of interest in it though.
Thanks All For Jumping on This Topic
Well, it doesn't look like, at the moment, there is a fix for this - So, I guess folks will still have to use their Cellular Modems (if they have one) to get their PC up and connected when no WIFI spot is available. Oh, well.
Thanks
finally done
not easy way but it works!!!!! here

I am on an older plan and I don't want to switch to a more expensive everything data plan since I only use my data plan for email, so I bought a Hero and changed the esn to match the one on my current phone, a Q9c. The esn switch worked fine and I now have phone/texts on my Hero, but neither 1x nor evdo works now. I get Error 67...something about username and password being incorrect. I have no idea how to fix this. I added the username in the ##3282# menu, but I didn't see anything about a password in there. My HA shared secret is 'secret' like I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be, but I don't know what my AAA shared secret is or is supposed to be. Do i have to find this in the Q9c and transfer it over? I'm completely lost. Anyone have any tips or ideas on how I can get my data working?

Im pretty sure thats why you have not got an answer!
Everyone is going to err on cautious side.
Yeah, the only thing worse then ESN swapping is murder.
I'm not asking how to do an esn swap...just merely explaining all the facets of my problem so someone can help me out. I understand it's a touchy subject, but despite any 'laws' to the contrary I don't feel what I did was wrong. They're both my phones and I'm not stealing service. I think it's ridiculous that Sprint thinks it has the right to tell me which phones I can and can't use on my plan. I wish I had a gsm provider...I don't think this would be as much of a problem.
Anyway, I really don't want this to get off topic. The only thing that should matter is I am getting Error 67 when I try to make a data connection. How do I fix this? Should I call Sprint...will they give me data connection settings? Do I have to find a way to get the AAA shared secret off my old phone? Am I just screwed? Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks.
I feel your pain. Try going into... Menu > Settings > About Phone > System Updates and Update Profile.
Hope it works.
Thanks for the tip. I tried it and the screen reads "The network is preparing your services. Please wait." Then the Error 67 window pops up a couple times, and after a few minutes the screen reads "The profile update could not be completed. Please try again later. If the problem persists, you may need to contact Customer Service. Error code:1012". Thoughts? How does this update work anyway? Does it use the data connection to update?
Had this problem before, spent hours with a Sprint's advanced tech support to try and solve the problem. The problem occured when I switched from one custom rom to another, then I restored a nandroid backup of the previous custom rom on top of it. My Hero starting bugging out after this. They couldn't help solve the problem, but they also didn't know about my flashing spree.
The only way I solved the problem was to RUU to Sprint's official rom. Even after I did this it took about 24hrs to register with Sprint for some reason.
Good luck.
Either RUU or reset to factory default on the phone.
I wouldnt call sprint. Them probably already know somethings not right.
You copied the MEID DEC number off your q9c to the hero.
So what sprint sees is a MEID DEC number of a Q9c
And they also see a MEID HEX of a HTC HERO.
I belive this is how it is, i could be wrong.
I say this because ive been told that the Hexadecimal numbers are specific to a general device (EG>>HERO)
And that a Decimal Numbers are specific to the end user device
So they got a Q9c trying to provision as a HERO

Correct me if I'm wrong but RUU is basically just reflashing the phone with the factory software, no? Assuming so, why would I need to do that? I'm working with a Sprint Hero that hasn't been flashed/rooted so I'm pretty sure it's still running the original software.
Anyway, I'm pretty desperate (and a hard reset doesn't seem to have fixed anything) so I'm willing to try anything if it has a chance of working. Is this the RUU I should use?

I had this happen to me the other day. Well, all of my stuff is legit, but Error 67 was poping up on both my phones.
They had me do this:
##3282#
Wait for a second - its slow
enter your MSL(Not sure if you need the old phones or the Hero's MSL)
GO into EDIT mode
Email address should be [email protected] - They had me change mine from FirstLast01 to [email protected]
Click Menu
Tap Comit(I Think, Maybe Restore..I can't remember)
Reboot the phone
Handsfree activation MAY kick off.
Got to Menu>Settings>About Phone> System Updates> Update Profile
Let it spin...
Turn the phone off, pull the batter for about a minute.
reboot the phone.

The DX bootloader situation sucks... Hope this brightens up someones day...
This was tested on a Motorola Droid X Froyo 2.2(OTA) Rooted
Requirements:
Root(just kidding)
Stock 3G Mobile Hotspot Application
EasySwitch(Trial) by SmartDyne(Download from Market)
1. Download and Setup EasySwitch Widget
2. Fire up 3G Mobile Hotspot and wait for it to fully connect up (30 seconds?)
- If this is your first time running through this, open up your browser and go somewhere. You should get the Verizon Self Provisioning page... If not, you're wasting your money.
3. Now use EasySwitch to cycle the Radio *Off* then back *On* (Top row, 4th from the left... you must do this every time after you fire up 3G Mobile Hotspot)
Voila...
I know this process could be refined some... Who wants to help? #Free4All <- That was an invitation for dialog.
setNetworkPreference(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE)
Update 10/9/10 2:55pm PST:
Who has root and more than 5 wireless devices? I only have 4...
/data/misc/wifi/hostapd.conf
max_num_sta = 5 <-- increase this number.
Someone test this...
Was Easywidget one of the stock widgets? This may have been some of the bloat I removed.
I believe the solutions is an app that does the following:
setNetworkPreference(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBI LE)

No. Please don't come in a thread acting as if you know everything and have some simple fix with a smart alec response. Wireless Tether is ad-hoc mode, as is Barnacle. This method is access point instead, which some people need specifically as opposed to ad-hoc.

No, not a build.prop thing, it's an application programming thing... Long story short, 3G Mobile Hotspot switches your phone's data connection from "TYPE_MOBILE" to "TYPE_MOBILE_DUN", which shuts down you your data connection unless you you are subscribed to the 3G Mobile Hotspot service. Cycling 3G off/on in EasySwitch switches your data connection back to TYPE_MOBILE, while keeping 3G Mobile Hotspot open.

Sound like you might have cycled wifi instead. I was however incorrect in saying to toggle 3G, when what I really meant was to toggle *Cell Service* which is 4th from the left on the top row in EasySwitch. If it's still trippin, let me know what mods and such that you're running. I just figured this out earlier today so i don't know all the permutation of why it might *not* work. TY for the feedback.

3G is actually the Up & Down Arrows on Easy Switch. The Cell tower is just your basic cell service (non 3G), although it IS the one you must toggle.
Just wanted to clear that up.

Awesome, but is there any way to do this without EasySwitch?
e.g. adb? terminal emulator?
I just don't care much for payware, let alone crippleware. :/
I tried this at work ( vzw hahaha) on my phone the way you stated and also tried with another coworkers x. His browser redirected him to vzw provisioning page as described, mine did not since I used the method described. However I was still able to connect another phone to both mine and a coworkers phone. Makes me worry about being charged the overage rate. Any ideas?
*update*
When connected to an x, fascinate redirected to vzw provisioning page. So this does work. Question is, will my bill sky rocket Haha. Gonna investigate further.

ATM, I'm have not tested any other apps that are free that can provide the needed functionality. The other apps I saw on the market seemed to just switch between 2G/3G, and not actually cycle the data connection off and on. Flight mode cycles wifi too, so that's a no go. ADB/Terminal... I tried other methods for doing this, pppd up/pppd down... no go..
Again, this works because of VZ tries to switch our data connection from "mobile", to "mobile_dun", to try and ferry us down their pay pipe... Cycling cell service switches us back to a "mobile" connection while keeping the 3G Mobile Hotspot running.
This is a Work In Progress... I believe that a widget could be made to automatically catch when the data connection gets switched over, and hijack it back. I have good idea of API calls in Dalvik necessary to make this happen, but it's been about 10 years since I really got down on programming anything, and my thing was web interfaces with PERL, never really got into Java. I am interested in Android Developement, so I'm currently tinkering with putting this widget together, but I currently don't have the know-how to put it all together. So EasySwitch is kind of my Proof-of-Concept tool.
I feel you, though. EasySwitch is just the current work around. Does the job, though...

This should more or less be equivalent to Barnacle/Wireless Tether. They all just use your "mobile" data connection.
I believe this to be actually more covert than the "Free 3G Mobile Hotspot for Incredible" method, which actually uses VZ's "mobile_dun" pay pipe, and uses the customers "[email protected]" to authenticate.
So, your bill should not skyrocket.

This was another one of the possibilities I had in mind. I don't really understand how to Decompile .APK's. Do you know how to do this? If it is possible to modify the APK, I would actually just bypass the connection switching routine all together, and just move on to starting up the wifi side of things.
<edit>
If you know more about possibly making this work in this way, which actually would be the cleanest method possible, I'd appreciate any kind of help.

BEWARE - MMS WILL NOT WORK.
Theres no way to change MMS settings for your new carrier.
I bought one a couple of days ago, and fell into this trap. The phone is going back as a consequence.
MMS and other network settings can usually be configured via SMS. I'd call the new provider first and ask them to send you such a message. The phone should act on the information automatically.
Let me know if this works.

Good suggestion, but we already tried that. They sent two SMS, neither were received. Standard SMS works fine.
I assume Wp7 cannot be configured in this way
You must use an app that can configure those options or try to find them on the test app of the Samsung...
This is because carriers block the auto configuration that WP7 makes use with the card you have inserted.
HTC made an app for that and i think LG can be configurated on the MFG app...

I will have a go with Samsung, but I`m not holding out much hope. It appears the carrier (Three) is blocking the configuration application from working. The only other thing I can think of is flashing the firmware with a stock samsung version. Anyone know if thats a possibility??
I`ve just been down to the 3 shop, and they won`t accept the phone back, because its been unlocked, funnily enough they didn`t mention this when I bought the phone and told them I`d be using it on O2.... I`ll speak to trading standards as well.

If you bought it in store and it's not faulty and is fit for purpose then they don't have to do anything as far as I'm aware. If you bought it remotely (online/phone) then you can return it without giving a reason within 14 days.
But since you've unlocked it that returns guarantee won't apply anymore as it's not in the condition it was in when sold. Your only grounds would be a fault or not fit for purpose, and the purpose was to work on the 3 network which I assume it does. And in neither case would they be obliged to give you a refund, just a replacement (which presumably would be locked to 3 again).
If I were you, I'd ask your preferred service provider (the new one) to re-flash it in their service centre, as that'll probably be their version of the firmware with their MMS settings. There will probably be a charge since they didn't supply the phone.
Have you checked if the Samsung Diagnostics tool can help you out?
I have a T-Mobile UK phone unlocked and I'm using it on AT&T in the US. I have the same problem.
Everything else works great on the phone (including 3G) but not MMS.
I think I can help you relock it again.
Please try *7465625*638*XXXXXXXX#

Yea, tried that, no dice.
We`ve decided to keep the phone, despite MMS not working (its a gift for my wife). Sh`ll email pictures instead, which is annoying but hopefully a fix for this will come out soon.
Data Too?
Apologies if this may seem like a dumb question, but is accessing data (e.g. 3g) on your unlocked phone (on a different sim) also affected or is it just MMS?
Cheers,
Asim
I thinks these issues only happend on locked phones that were unlocked after or even unlocked ones that carriers sell. This is because the carriers are blocking the autoconfig of WP7 for MMS and other stuff. I sure thought that MS would not allow this kind of stuff...
To be fair, who still actually uses MMS?
You just bought a phone that is heavily oriented around data plans.
Emails are free, MMSs are not.
No offence intended here.

With respect, my wife uses MMS, and as its her phone, its not unreasonable for her to be able to use that function, is it????
Yes, she can use email to achieve a similar function, but you will already know that MMS has some distinct advantages over email (auto resizing pictures, compatibility with phones which don`t support receiving email, push delivery to all devices).
For these reasons, your implied assertion that MMS and Email are interchangable, is a long way off the mark.
Oh, and emails are not free - they consume your data allowance. I don`t know the price differential is between MMS charges, but my point is they aint free.
I`m sorry if this comes across as shirty, but implying that this isn`t a problem is not very helpful.
i have the same problem, do you guys have a solution for this...
guys,
i have found the following solution of the internet and i need your advise:
MFG is a hidden admin app on the phone. Here are the steps -- !!! use at your own risk !!!:
1. Go to the phone app
2. Dial ##634# and click Send
3. When prompted for a password type 277634#*#
4. You should now be at "Factory Menu"
5. Choose "Engineer Menu"
6. Choose "Other Setting"
7. Verify that "Set ADC" is set to Enable
8. From the "Other Setting" page, choose "Set network profile"
9. You should now be on the "Set network profile" page and in the bottom half of the window you should see a list of *.xml files. These appear to be the network configuration files.
10. Look at the filenames for the config files and take your best guess at which one to choose for your provider. I'm on AT&T and I fixed the MMS problem by choosing "_PROV_ATT_US_310_410.xml"
After you choose that *.xml profile, your MMS should be working.
what do you think ???????????????
I've searched. Only found one nobody post saying it wasn't capable hardware wise... Is that really true. And if so, why can't it handle it. Imo, it should be able too.... Really want wp7 hotspot device.....
Don't believe it... Will only be a matter of time until an app is available...
I agree.. it's all a matter of apps now. Apparently, the MANGO release will give developers more access to the 'guts' of the O/S, so we should start seeing apps with more functionality than before.

That's insane I had no idea these can tether. I'm liking my Quantum more and more everyday. I'm a big accidental LG fan.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
I was able to install the modem without issue, and my computer sees it. However the connection is immediately refused. Apparently AT&T is blocking this in the U.S.A. At least in Minnesota.
It's kind of annoying way to do it though. Not too thrilled about entering a code and password everytime I would want to tether.
Really looking for something like Win Mo 6.5 equavalent to WiFi Router.
How about on PetroCanada or Speakout
I have the Quantum and PetroCanada UMB and I tried everything on that above link to get it to work but can't! The USB modem drivers installed correctly but I don't know the correct settings to get the phone to tether properly on the internet and I've tried so many combinations! Can somebody help me out? A WIFI Hotspot update sure would be good right now to avoid the whole problem altogether!!!
add a string in the advanced tab
Did you do the init string in the modem setup?
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","isp.cingular"
maybe a different isp string in Canada
I lost the ability to tether with Mango. My wifes phone is still on Nodo, and that phone can tether fine with the QC composite mode. Can other people on Mango still tether? I upgraded to Mango beta with the legit developer release, and then to Mango after it went RTM(never rolled phone back to nodo first).
Also on a side note, I still cannot connect to hidden wifi SIDs, and I see other people with the Quantum have the same problem. Seems like the OEM needs to enable this with Mango for it to work. Can anyone else use hidded wifi SIDs? My + icon is missing under advanced. Wondering if the route I took to Mango didn't update something.

Still no hidden SSID support with the LG Quantum.
As for Mango tethering, you're missing one more update after Mango RTM. Connect to Zune again, and check for updates. You should get an LG-specific update. That will update the USB tethering functionality in the phone for Mango.

The update is definately not available for all Quantum users.
I have AT&T and live in the United States and am not able to get the LG update.
Why everyone doesn't take the 5 minutes to go into User CP and set their carrier and country is beyond me. IMO, it should be a requirement before posting. More than half the posters in this thread haven't done it.

I have AT&T and live in the US as well. I got the LG update just fine.
You might have to go in the registry and make sure your carrier is set to ATT-US. If it's unbranded, or if that value is not filled in, then it won't work.

Done. It probably should be a requirement. Until it is, people (like me) won't do it unless reminded.

I actually dropped the service on my phone.
It's not that I didn't love Windows Phone 7 with Mango. Work bought me an iPhone 4S with a new number and they pay the monthly bill. So, I ported my personal number to Google Voice, so I can use it on my iPhone along with the number they provided. Free vs monthly bill. Free wins almost everytime.
I wouldn't think that service would be required to get an LG update, but since the carriers push the updates out, maybe it does. I guess I will know for sure when Apollo starts getting pushed out. Or it might be one of those things where it is going to take 30 days to push it out to everyone.
Nice job getting your info updated.
I am coming from a Nokia E71 so this is a big change for me. I am using the unlocked version of the Focus in India and there are some glitches I am trying to get my head around.
1. No option to connect to Wifi only when needed? - I can do this on my E71 where only when I use an app that need Internet access it either automatically connects to Wifi or asks me if I would like to connect. I see no such option on the Focus it's either always on or always off. I don't want to waste battery by constantly being connected to wifi but there doesn't seem to be any option to change this behaviour.
2. No Text Delivery reports so I don't know if the SMS eventually reached the recipient or not.
3. GPRS: I have tried various options to set up GPRS on my phone by selecting APN and using the settings from my provider but no dice.
4. No option to save usernames and passwords on frequently visited sites on IE9. Come on my piss poor Opera Mobile has this feature on my E71!
Any help with any of the above would be appreciated thank you.

1. There's an app called 'Toggle' that can help you pin a short cut to activate wi-fi when needed. You can download it here
2. Currently not available. You can put an official request here here
3. I'm not sure how, but my device selected the setting automatically. You can manually try this
4. Never had problems with that as I dont use much of IE on my WP. But you can read some more info here and here
Hope that helped!!
Thanks a ton Irfan! That was very helpful. I couldn't get GPRS to work so moved to 3G but I can't get that to work either! still trying to figure it out.
Edit: Got 3G to work

Do you know if your carrier supports this? If they do, you can enable it using a registry editor, then going into Settings/Messaging and turning it on. Unfortunately, not all carriers support it. ATT does not.

Thanks, worked for me.
The only thing is the delivery reports come as a separate message

As far as I understand, that's the only way they come in on Windows Phone.
Thanks for the tips. My phone is not yet software unlocked I am waiting for Chevron to open up licenses so that I can get it unlocked. So guess I will just have to live without delivery reports for now.
Very happy with the phone except for the abysmal battery life.

Yeah, I could use more battery life also, but I'm on my phone a LOT during the day, so it's expected. I had an iPhone 4s for a couple days, and I was able to drain it in less than one day also. It really depends on usage...
As far as unlocking, you can do it for FREE by visiting this page using your Mobile Browser in Mobile Layout (open IE, go to settings, select Mobile version on Website preference):
www.windowsphonehacker.com/windowbreak
More info can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20619864 The other benefit is that this unlocker is not limited to 10 sideloaded apps like Chevron.
This method is WAY easier than the others.... Just open the webpage and follow the instructions.
Thank you Supersport That worked perfectly. I currently have 7.10.7720.68. Do you think it's worthwhile to hack the registry and upgrade to the latest version- 8107?

I've tried it both ways. I'm currently on 7720 because I never noticed a performance difference on 8107. I am now going to wait for ATT to release it (if they do), since I would like to get driver updates also if they include them. I never had the keyboard issue, and the other fixes don't bother me personally.

I updated it and seen the annoying keyboard issue resolve. Overall not a major update, but it helped.
Just a quick question guy. How do i change the registry settings? i.e. what registry editor do I need to use?
Thanks!
Edit:Nevermind got it working with WP7 Root Tools. Thanks!
