In another thread in the Dev section someone mentioned that after you apply the leaked 2.2 update that you would be able to use the 3G Mobile Hotspot just like Wireless Tether, without charges from VZW. Is there any truth to this?
As I understand it, you can turn the feature on, but once a client connects, it will bring them to a VZW page telling them that you need to have said feature enabled on your account.

Ah well that sucks, really would be nice if it were to work. It seems like a nice app.
dial ##778, go into edit mode, the password is 000000, once in go to M.IP Default Profile and edit DUN NAI from [email protected] to [email protected]. Then hit menu and press commit modifications. It should then reboot or w.e and your done. Free 3g hotspot app
At least thats how other people have said to do it

If you have previously used this method from stock 2.1 it also carries over from any type of wipe or installing the new radio.
I currently have the tethering plan through VZW from when I had my storm. I decided to take 3G Hotspot for a quick spin.
-WPA2
-AP Mode
-15 Devices max
Are all available.
Nothing special if you're rooted and use wifitether.
I am on the new FroYo leak and I just tried this with the included "3G Mobile Hotspot" app and it didnt work. I double checked my DUN NAI, and it is set to [email protected]. I could see and connect to my hotspot, but no web pages would load. Anyone have any ideas?

I have the same problem. I changed the dun NAI as directed. Wireless Tether was broken for me but I'll try copying the .bin file over again.
Sweet!
Just hope we don't get a huge bill at the end of the month.

My laptop could not connect to the conn with wpa2 enabled. But with wpa and wep encryption it works great.
Just remember that wep is crap.. i can crack wep in 5 minutes easily.

Plus its fun putting the most revolting ssid name that you can think of.

does this effect any other part of your phone? or does only wifi tether use this?
I did the mod, cranked up 3g hotspot, and connected my Ipod Touch. Worked great, and strangely enough was quite fast. Sweet! (Froyo 2.2)

When I tried this last night I could see and connect to the hot spot, but it wouldn't give me an IP address.
From the instructions above it would appear that I could just remove "DUN" from the profile, commit the changes and then be up and running on VZWs network. Am I doing this correctly?
thanks,
Works for me. Thanks for all the good stuff guys!
Hi...i have a big problem with my data plan coz even after i activated it, it still did not active. I notice this after i download the 3g toggle from market and unistall it coz it suck..please somebody know hkw to fix it? I really rely on my data plan coz i am not always in the wifi zone..nn

Maybe check if something's happened to the APN settings / if they have been disabled?

Sounds like a network issue, you need to call your carrier.

well .. if your phone didn't need any additional configuration for APN during your very first use, then I guess, as princeasi just mentioned, you might have to check with your network operator for help..
the reason why i told tht you might have to define the APN settings is because, for me, I had to manually add the APN, username /password in order to get access to my carrier's data network ...
maybe you could browsing on this link: http://modmyi.com/wiki/index.php/Carrier_APN_Settings#Italian_Networks
for APN settings..
that link is meant to help configure iPhone APN settings (Android has a lot more parameters to define) .. but the details shud still work with your NexS
(for eg. all settings for my carrier were the same as what were already on my phone by default.. the only thing i had to configure manually was the u/name, password and APN name)
Hope that helps...
I let it auto reconfigure everything and it came back .. not sure what happened

i am not being able to use the internet on my phone.when i activate the data network nothing happens.PACKET DATA (in settings>wireless>mobile network) always gets unclicked.when i click packet data to activate after sometime it gets unclicked automatically.i have tried 2 service provider connec same prob,installed stock rom,custom(indroid,lestatious,kyrillos) nothing happened.plz HELP.....
Did you use some of the APN on-off widget or apps (APNDroid or Elixir)?. I had the same problem, until I checked APNs in Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names > "your default APN" (usually first one) > APN. Check if the APN name ends in either elixir or apndroid, and delete those.
no i havent used ny apn widget.i was surfing net,and suddenly this thing happened.
If your battery is miscalibrated, and phone thinks it's low, it will disable packet data. Charge your phone to 100% and use BatteryCalibration from market to calibrate it. Then see if you can enable packet data.
Or you can just get the worldwide apn list xml and throw it in your phone...and then restore defaults in the apn list. Worked for me when I flashed a new rom and lost my apn settings.
Here's how to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951214
This is netwrk provider problem..i think...coz same happens 2-3times with me too..but after some times means one or two hours its ok ...or I think you are using proxy in Apn that could be the problem too...

Hmmh... that is weird. You have rooted and made sure you have RW permissions?
i have my ph rooted..how to have r/w permission????when i open my root explorer on the top it shows "mount as r/w"
What's the name of your provider? Vodafone? Google "Vodafone apn settings india" and see if you get any results, then go to 'Access point names' (same place where everything else related to data networking is) and then press on your menu key (left of your home button) and add an APN. Now use the settings you found from google and type them into the correct fields.
i was using internet through vodafone nd suddenly this thing happened.i had created apn again nd again but nothing helped.
Odd. Go to dial pad and type *#06# to check your IMEI. Do you see zero's or actual numbers? (Whatever you see, don't post the number here)
Also, are you sure flight mode is not on? Can you use someone else's sim card to check if packet data works then?
yes my IMEI no is showing.i have tried another sim,same prob,tried stock rom same prob,,,,very unusual prob..
plz guys help me on this..i am in deep ****....
Odd.. try posting this topic to some general forum instead of our I5800 one. You'll get more publicity and answers hopefully

Yes, that is it. Click it to gain R/W permissions, then try to paste the file in the right place.
Sorry it took so long to answer. Was at a craaazy wedding.
i did the thing,paste the apn file to /etc
inside apn done reset to default.
BUT STILL THE PACKET DATA gets unclicked even after clicking.
this problem is very unusual,nd happened only to me i guess.....
Similar problem...cant get GPRS/3g to work in a custom rom... even tried copying the apn.conf file but got no positive results...
i guess it's because of the other region's firmware ...any help would b highly appreciated !!
i cannot access internet from custom rom as well as stock rom.i was surfing the net nd suddenly this thing went off,and that problem continued...
Hi guys. Hope someone has an idea. My s4 was unlocked by sprint for my trip to england. Swapped the sim card for an o2 card. Talk and text work. I cannot get data to work. Tried turning it on and off. Rebooted the phone. Enabled mo ile data over mobile network. Enabled data under roaming settings for gsm data. Still nothing. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

If you can get wifi, download tweakker app. It will setup the APNs for you. Let us know if you get the data working.
I tried getting tweakker (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tweakker), but it says "This app is incompatible with all of your devices." I have a 3G Nexus 7 as well, so I'm surprised it's not compatible with that nor my Sprint Galaxy S4. Is there a way to get it to install? Am I looking at the wrong app? Or is there another way to change the APN settings on the S4?

Yeah, it won't let me install it either. Weird. Worked on other phones before.
Try the different options under Connections->More Networks->Roaming. Maybe the APN options are buried there somewhere. Also, see if you have "data" checked under "GSM Network" in the roaming section, that might help.
Also, in the screen that shows you the network that you are on or allows you to select a network, make sure the green button is on the host network the SIM is associated with, then press the menu button, it might give you options for the APN.
Dial ##DATA# enter your MSL hit other then LTE APN settings then add your APN.

if you can hook up to wifi dl nova or apex (its just temporaory unless you want to keep it) hold on your home screen till you get the option to add shortcut>activities>settings>APNs this will give you access to add or remove apns at will without having to mess with your msl and sprint tech support.

I have root, and it's still greyed out. It doesn't prompt for root access either. That said, I don't have a GSM SIM in right now, so maybe when I put in a third party SIM it'll be available?
I'm guessing though it requires the MSL to add though, but there's no prompt to put it in either.
EDIT: Actually, I found the exact same APN menu under ##DATA# under Other, LTE APN. However, pressing menu doesn't even have the option to add an APN, and I put my MSL in to edit. I'm hoping it just won't let me add it because I still have the Sprint LTE SIM in.

shouldnt be under menu you should have like a little circle with a plus sign near the top right of the screen and that should prompt u to add your apn.

well my friend im at a loss. the problem is that i am always rooted and even when i got my sgs4 it was rooted in the first 5 minutes of ownership. i know you said you are as well but based off what i saw in your screenies it lookes like your running stock (or something that closly resembles stock) so it may be something in the stock rom thats not allowing you to change your settings. this method is how i have done it since the epic 4g days so i dont know what to tell you. mabey one of the devs here can give you a better workaround or help you unlock that edit menu cause im outta ideas. good luck :s
Sprint Galaxy S4 APNs Are Unchangeable and therefore prohibit international data use.

Update: This is a known issue on the Galaxy S4, primarily from Sprint. They have completely disabled all APN changing and editing I order to disallow data usage on any other network than their local and global roaming networks.
The only known way to fix this is to root your device which will void the warranty, stop OTA updates and software upgrades, and possibly brick your phone.
Or, you could just travel overseas and pay $500-800/ month for Sprints roaming.
And then there's the option of using your Galaxy S4 like a flop phone and just using it for SMS and phone calls.
Because even though Sprint says it's an international smartphone, it's not.. If you like to use data services that is.
Waiting for an update to fix Sprints proprietary obsessions...
