Focus S Internet sharing - Focus General

I've just recently purchased an unlocked focus s and I'm unable to get internet sharing working. Has anyone else not using the AT&T network managed to get this working?
Keeps telling me to call at&t to unlock...

If you developer unlock and follow the instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334248 then you will no longer be held hostage by ATT for the internet sharing feature.

Unlocking MDA question

I have two MDA's with T-Mobile I just cancelled service with them and got two Sprint Touch's.
My son has a AT&T GoPhone he bought on his own.
Question: Can I unlock the MDA and use the SIM card from his GoPhone with the MDA ?
Thanks
i think thats the definition of unlock.
Yes, but he won't be able to use GPRS (data). He will be able to use WiFi, when an available network is near, though, and that's not bad.
Here's the SIM unlocking thread. I'd suggest reading it THOROUGHLY more than once, before trying it.

Worked like a charm
That went much easier than I thought.
With Bluetooth and WiFi router he can connect to my router or to my new Sprint phones via bluetooth for internet access.
Thanks for the help!

[Q] Can´t nable hotspot Chilean User

Hey everyone, I want to enable the wifi hotspot on my aT&T atric, the problem i have is that i have un unlocked atrix and im in Chile. All the intructions i find are for AT&T and adding AT&T APN, is there any other way to enable this for users outside of AT&T?

Thanks for the reply, i saw that already but i´m looking for a way to enable the native wifi hotspot trhat the atrix comes with.
Hi!
I'm at Colombia, and I was able to use the AT&T hotspot, until the 1.83 update .
After that, it did not work anymore.... When I tried to activate it, asked about AT&T authorization or something like that .
Then, I rooted my Atrix and now use Barnacle.... a lot better than AT&T's hotspot.
Hope it helps.
well, modding the build.prop worked for me in Mexico. Anyway, barnacle and wifitetherforrootusers is adhoc, so you will want official hotspot

[Q] Problem with data on sim unlocked galaxy s5

I paid to get a T-mobile galaxy s5 sim unlocked so that I could use it on At&t. I'm located in the US. I took the sim out of another non-functioning at&t galaxy s5 and put it in the t-mobile one. The sim unlock code was successful, and ever since then my calls and texts have been working just fine. However, the mobile data connection is not working and I cannot seem to ascertain why this may be. I have tried scanning for networks and automatic network selection through the settings --> more networks --> Network operators menu. Mobile data is enabled. I have a data plan through at&t. Wi-fi still works. Any ideas on how to fix this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I was hoping that rooting the phone may help the issue, but I am new to this concept. As I have gathered, only certain models of s5 can be rooted as of yet, and I did not find a thread on rooting the G900T model for the s5's. Thanks for any help!
I think you must set the APN from Setting. Ask the AT&T providet for the APN.

I tryed to tell them that but they would not help me because i dont have a sprint account.
If your rooted there are aps in google play that can get you the MSL number MSL reader, code. Give it a shot
Have tryed the apps and none are able to get it. Still searching for a way to find my code.
Try PDANET at junefabrics.com no root needed install to phone and laptop make a search for foxfi key to fully activate it. It has USB Bluetooth for wireless . On your laptop PDANET can create wifi hotspot so you can connect other devices

Using wi-fi calling on a G900A on T-mobile

I just now switched from AT&T to T-mobile because I finally got sick of AT&T for various reasons including very high prices. The network lock is removed. How can I get wi-fi calling to work on this phone? When I try to enable it, I get "To enable this service you must confirm your emergency address.". Then I see "Wi-Fi calling lets you make and receive calls over Wi-Fi with your AT&T account. When you use Wi-Fi Calling, information about the country where the Wi-Fi connection is made will be sent to your carrier. Learn more about Wi-Fi Calling.". The last two words are a link to https://m.att.com/shopmobile/wireless/features/wifi-calling.html?referrer=. It seems there's a hangup of AT&T versus T-mobile. What should I be doing to get this working?
In case anyone is wondering, this particular phone is being used because it must be kept unrooted. I have a G900T that has been rooted.
