I'm trying to get the wifi hotspot to work on my wildfire, I can connect everything - wifi, mobile network etc. But the wifi hotspot doesn't work anymore - even though it has worked in the past. When I activate everything under the Portable wi-fi hotspot check box it says "no mobile network"
Can anyone help me out?
I'm using sunbabh ROM on T-mobile UK
Just check ur kernal because I heard the new jacubs has WiFi issuse so install his version 4.1 that one works fine no issuses

I'm not using Jacobs kernal, all ive got is sunbabs. It has worked before using the same setup
I'm on t-mobile too and i noticed this feature has stopped working (on my desire) even though it has worked in the past. All I can assume is that t-mobile have blocked this service and now only offer it with their (more expensive) web n walk max plan - the same plan you need to have to be able to make skype and voip calls over 3G.
I doubt its a kernel issue because it worked fine when i was on holiday in India where I purchased a 3g sim card with an unlimited data plan.
Update:
Just out of curiosity i tried the wifi hotspot again and to my surprise it now works. I didn't change any of the settings on my laptop or the phone. So i guess the service isnt just available on webnwalk max. I don't know what causes the problem - sorry.

Hey All I did a search on the forums for this but didn't see an answer so wanted to put this question out there.
My work allowed me to upgrade my work phone from the standard BB to a Samsung Vibrant. When I got the phone and put my T-Mobile SIM in, the phone worked but internet would not. I called support and found out that this was because my plan through work was for BB internet not Android. The same SIM chip works fine in a Nexus One that I have. I get internet access and everything.
So I thought that maybe if I get my Vibrant unlocked then I would be able to bypass that BB Internet plan requirement. Through my work we got the unlock code from T-Mobile. The unlocked, rooted Vibrant running CM 7 still won't connect to the internet.
is there anyway I can get internet connectivity on the Vibrant, other than asking T-Mobile to change the plan?
Thank you in Advance.
You can try changing the APN under Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile networks > Access Point Names
although, I don't know what APN your plan uses.. you can research and find what APN your plan uses and it SHOULD work if you enter the right one...
But don't take my word for this. I can be wrong!
Btw, in the APN menu, is there anything there already?
Make sure u save the apn when done. Dont just exit out

So I gave my girl friend my old HTC HD2 swapping out her old Blackberry. For some reason however she is not getting any data service (she is on T-Mobile). Talk and texts work fine but for some reason all we see is "H+" where it should say 3g. Currently she is running CyanogenMod-7-04052011 from TyphooN v3.0.0. Build # GRI40. We called Tmobile and they switched her service plan from the Blackberry service to android. and it worked for about 2-3 hours but now its back to "H+" with no data at all.
Does anyone know what might be causing this? I havent tried to update her to the newest version. But i know the phone worked fine because i used it with my AT&T sim card and it worked fine.
Help would be greatly appreciated!

H+ is good. Its faster then 3g. Make sure the apn settings are right.
Settings/wireless and network / mobile networks, access point names/press menu to add, fill in info, press menu after and save. Then tick the box and your set.

Hi guys,
Was wondering if you could help with something.
I am in Bolivia at the moment and working out in a remote town with little WiFi.
The phone network ENTEL here sells '4G' dongles (hdpsa+ hupsa actually)* with unlimited data for no money at all so I picked one up. Plugged it into a computer, installed the software and it connected and works great.
However when I tried to put the SIM from my dongle in my Galaxy S2 it will not work. Just says emergency calls only and does not seem to connect to anything. I have enabled packet data and apn settings seem present.
With the same phone as a test I took a normal ENTEL sim card (not from dongle) and this connected to network and EDGE data and I was able to access websites etc over mobile internet no worries (although it costs a lot).
I'm sure none of you will be familiar with the Bolivia phone networks but perhaps on basic principals you can help. IE why doesn't my dongle simcard work in my phone for data?
Thanks so much in advance.

If it's.like it is here in Costa Rica then the SIM cards used for the data dongles are coded for just that and can't be used in phones... Mainly because usage plans.are different they won't allow anyone to use it for data on phones whose plans data plans are twice as much.
Now if that's not the case there then it's probably hardware related such as in frequencies... The dongle SIM may be for a different radio band than what you're phone can pick up
My home 3g wifi modem stopped working 6 months ago so I now use my old galaxy s as the modem. The sim is data only that's meant for a dongle / pocket wifi but it works fine. Just had to enter the virgin broadband apn and that was it. The sim is a 3g sim and the phone is unlocked.
Never tried a 4g sim though. Very good chance the 4g uses a different network frequency than the phone supports. But I would think a 4g sim should still connect to the 3g/H/Edge frequencies.

Hi All,
I have a Sprint S4 (SPH-L720) which i got from the states. I plan to use this in Canada...was able to root/unlock the phone via SIM Unlock Method posted (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2415587&highlight=sph-l720).
My issue is that i am unable to browse internet or use any apps needing internet on the GSM/UTMS network mode. I have a Rogers LTE chip that i am using and am able to use the phone (voice calling) with no issues. I can use internet on wifi but am unable to when trying internet via the phone chip...i do have a 6GB plan with Rogers and can browse internet when used on another phone.
I had to downgrade the Baseband to MDL/MDC to sim unlock the phone and have later installed MF9.
The software version and baseband now on the phone is: L720VPUAMF9. Earlier had an issue that the wifi was not working, option was disabled...(was getting a message - that an app is trying to connect...) this got fixed after i flashed the kernel version.
Can anyone advice how i can use data from the GSM network and not wifi.. has anyone faced the same issue.
Add your APN for your gsm sim under APN settings.

Thanks guys...i was able to get the APN settings and now my phone works on data from the lte chip inserted.
Now my issue is that my phone does not show LTE....i have another S4 with Rogers and i verified running speed test on a friend's phone to compare...my specs on the sprint phone are almost 40% lower than his phone on the same network..ran from the same location (apt). I tried various combinations i.e. (LTE, LTE/CDMA, GSM) but i can only get 3g or H+.
Any suggestions that i can try...Thanks!
This phone doesn't have the proper bands to work on Rogers LTE.

Please help the frustrated me
I put a T-mobile sim card on my VZW Note 3 and added an APN to for the mobile network, the 4G LTE flag shows up in the status bar as expected. The only problem is: when it uses data network instead of WIFI, all non-http network connections seem to get blocked and the only thing I can do is to use the browser to surf Internet. All other apps such as WeChat, Skype don't work at all. WeChat keeps reporting "Server access failure (1, -10087)".
I suspect there's a firewall built in the T-mobile data network but couldn't find any settings about it.
Does any expert here know to solve the problem?
Thanks!

Did you ever get it to work? I'm experiencing the same issue with my note 3 from VZW.
Server Access Error (-1,10087) with WeChat \ HTC One M8 \ T-Mobile
I have been getting the same error ever since Android was updated from 4.3 to 4.4.*.
I have WeChat on a HTC One M8 on T-Mobile. Works fine on WiFi, but not on direct connect to T-Mobile's LTE network. T-Mobile doesn't have any ideas what could be causing this except to say it is either WeChat, Android, or HTC.
T-Mobile did give me a brand new HTC One M8 thinking a new phone may help, but I still run into the same issues.
I have full use of Internet, email and messaging, but WeChat will not connect via the T-Mobile network. It appears WeChat may be getting blocked by T-Mobile when accessing via the HTC One M8 as there are a few things occurring:
1. Continually receiving an error: Server Access Error (-1,10087). Only occurs when there is no WiF and trying to connect through T-Mobile’s data network.
2. Cannot request a TEXT to be sent to me under the Password Recovery feature. It says a text is being sent but none come through.
3. The same with the request a phone call Password Recover feature. It says to expect a call but none come.
4. When sending a data report, it will get to 95% uploaded and then freeze and never finishes.
Any thoughts on how to correct this?

Did you check to see if you have a proxy in your apn settings? That would cause a such a condition if you have a proxy in your tmobile apn settings.

Same thing for me on Tmobile M8 using We Chat. If I go into the settings and turn off and on Mobile Data, it will work for a few minutes and then revert back to the server error.
I definitely believe it has to deal with something on Tmobile's network but their support doesn't have an answer. Someone please help!
finally figured it out
This has been bothering me since I flashed the viperone rom for my M8. The solution is simple, go to your APN setting edit access point, change APN protocol from IPV6 into IPV4/IPV6!
