Wireless hotspot

Hi all,
I bought the AT&T Atrix 4G as I can use it here in Australia on the Telstra network. Is there any way / hack to allow me to use the wireless hotspot feature? Would be very handy; I obviously can't sign up for an ATT account.
I installed the new update, so I can't root the phone yet.

You can get root , go to the below thread, you will need to go back to the original 1.2.6 SBF, just follow the directions from the thread below.

You shouldn't need root to enable this feature. All you need is to add a Custom APN. There's several threads on the subject. The link below is the thread that has the instructions for creating the Custom APN. I also found some thread where users with the latest update have no issues with this as well.

Try searching the Atrix 4G General Forum for "wireless APN" for more information. I hope that helps

I read somewhere that ATT is going to crack down on this. I'll see if I can find it.
I know this isn't an iphone but I'm sure it's the same thing on their end.

i use my atirx in Australia on Telstra as well and i lost my hotpost ability with the ATO update to .57 now i just get the msg saying my account isnt setup of hotpot. curse AT&t's black heart

I'm using the Atrix on AU vodafone's 850MHz network. also updated and also getting the message saying I need to update my AT&T account. :/

I wanna know it too. I´m in Brazil, with TIM network and i can´t tether because of at&t...

had the same problem after the update, im in canada. edit your APN settings to add "default, tether" under APN type.

No luck with that Fido. i tried it with a couple of different apn's that give me a data connection and im getting the same msg. Feels like its deeper than an APN combo

are you sure you entered it right? i got that att message too before i added the apn type...the mod to get mobile hotspot to work is just using the right apn. heres how i set up my apn set up, i only fill out two things.
APN = internet.fido.ca
then go all the way to the last option
APN Type = default,tether
also double check that the lock icon next to your apn is unlocked.

fido ur right i just needed to add default,tether to my apn type.
u had a space in ur original post throw me off a bit but i have it working now hope this works for every one else to.

go to the development section, there are a few threads with the att tether info.

Hi everybody.
Had the same problem like most of you. I´m in Spain with vodafone and after updating I couldn´t use my atrix as hotspot anymore so googling a bit I found this app.: android-wifi-tether.
After installing the app you get this message:
No Access Control!
Sorry but your kernel does not have all necessary features for the Access Control feature of this application. Access control will be disabled
This is the only issue I found, but the rest works great for me.

APN on the Galaxy S3 for rogers

Hi Everyone,
I am new to Android. I just got a galaxy S3 from Rogers and I unlocked it. I am now using it under Fido. I have 2 major issues that maybe the forum can help me out.
1) when I got the phone the build in settings for Fido LTE did not work so I added my own APN and it now works. The problem is that is I take out the battery or shut off and restart the phone I lose the APN settings. According to Samsung the Apn is fixed to rogers and you cannot add any new APN. Is there a work around to allow me to store more APN as I travel a lot ?
2) I have visual voice mail. since this is a rogers phone, the visual voice mail program is built into the phone. So when I download the visual voice mail app for fido it tells me that there is conflict with another program in the system. Is there a way to get rid of the visual voice mail app for rogers so my visual voice mail for fido will work ?

Signed up for T-Mobile 30$ whatever plan today, and texting and data works fine, but if someone sends me a picture I can't see it, and if i try to send one it also doesn't send. I'm not sure if this is a problem with the software, user error, or T-Mobile. If it's in the wrong thread, feel free to move it. Any help is appreciated :good:

I'm also using LiquidSmooth ROM.

MMS doesn't work for me either.

I have T-mobile post-paid and MMS is working on Liquidsmooth. Does prepaid have a different APN?

It can take anywhere from 24-48 hours after you set up your plan for everything to work. So be patient and also check your apn settings. It's kinda tricky for the Nexus

MMS not working is almost always going to be an APN issue. Most carriers have different APN's for prepaid vs. Monthly contracts, so just call your carrier and ask for the APN's for your plan. There will probably be two, one for web and one for mms. Then Go to settings, mobile networks ( may have to hit more under wireless & networks heading), access point names, and enter the correct info. A lot of times there will just be an extra APN listed that you can delete depending on your contact type. Hope this helps

Can't add APN for StraightTalk on Phone

My gf just bought phone because she was tired of her iPhone. And she got the SIM card from StraighTalk. And the number works. She can call and Text but she cant use data. She's contacted them and Verizon and they already sent another StraightTalk SIM card. And that still didn't work. And yes the Amazon link says Verizon. Imgaes of the Phone settings. Imgur. She doesn't have an APN and she can't add one. And she doesn't have an APN from Verizon either.
If anyone can help me that would be great. I don't care if i have to root the phone to fix it. I have an S4 too and rooted.

It says "access is restricted for the current user profile"
What profile is she on?
She needs to be on the main user profile in order to have full access.

Debranded LG L6 LS993

After I got my ls993 unlocked from sprint, i inserted a metro pcs sim and everything worked { voice, sms and data}. After a couple minutes and i decided to debrand it.
after that, some features were removed which i dont really care. but now....i dont options to get to add apn / its all greyed out! i dont also have the Service or MSL Code. All I need is to add an APN! Can anyone help?
And sometimes its says no sim or sim error ..so i insert the sprint sim and dial this code ##72786# and insert the metro sim.

I get the same problem that my Sprint LG G6 after dial ##27263# Removes branding and it is now I can't add new APN. The add apn is grey out. I am looking for this solution.

I have the same problem that my unlock Sprint LG G6 after removes branding, I can't a dd new APN and it is grey out. I am here is looking for help solution too. Hope someone will get this problem solved and put the solution here.

The problem is that I can't add an apn because it is grayed out!

@marshallcodex - Have you tried contacting the community.sprint.com forum to see if they can provide us with more details or steps to add APN?
I just received a refurbished LS993 and applied the latest security update or patch released. Dialing the code to see the hidden menu also only provided the options you shared in your screen capture.
I am behind the curve because I am not eligible to receive the MSL code yet (the LS993 isn't listed as a DSU/UICC Unlockable from Sprint's unlock site). I need to either activate the phone with a new plan for 50 days or have a family/friend activate and use the phone for 50 days then request for the MSL code. Correct me if I'm wrong and I don't have to do it that way.
Anyhow good luck, hopefully you can find your answers and lead the way for us other LS993 owners.

The only possible way to unlock the apn section is to activate a new service with them....then the phone will be re-provisioned with all necessary stuff for the phone to work well.....i suggest we have to use their service [the $45 prepaid plan]...then cancel the service after a 3 or 4 days.....then get back to our normal carrier. I have my MSL but cant add apn still
If u already hav a sprint sim...just activate the $45 plan which will $50 [taxes included] the ready to go

Just install this app from Google Play Store and you can add/edit/remove APNs settings...
