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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016060
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.

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.
Ok Please understand I cannot stress enough about how the phone was working flawless and NOTHING CHANGED on my service. BUT what actually happened was I went from a 2.2 rom, WAP, MMS, everything working flawless because I flashed it myself and had perfect APN Settings that I found online. Non of the other APN settings work. This specific setup worked just flawless. Incoming and outgoing MMS worked like it was a Native cricket phone. And I had the files backed up into my SD Card, so I can just run APN Manager and just restore the files every time I tried a new rom.
Well I went to the new style roms for 2.3. Mainly CM7... But it was flawed for Mobile Data and WiFi so I went back.... month later things were fixed and I went back to CM7 and it was working but had rom errors. So I was working out some things and decided to clean everything. Well I screwed up... I started a format on my SD Card.... I pulled the battery quick but not before the APN Settings were deleted.
I have not been able to get MMS working since then. I just reverted back to stock and everything is working except MMS. I even just backed up a new Cricket Android Phone's APN file and edited my info into it and still no MMS. IDK What else to do.
Anyone have any info?
I remember the names of the APN Files I was using that I copied from someone online (CDMA-MMS) is one of them or something similar to that. But I cannot find anything.
If you can point me in the direction of the sons you used I will test them. I also and flashed to cricket but I've never got my mms to work. Im running a 2.2 rom. I've heard that cm7 and miui have wap and mms issues.
My mms always worked till I lost that apn. I been playing with it and can not find a solution. Idk what is going on.

Ok I fixed it. Just sent MMS from phone to email with no issues and quite fast.
If you install APN Manager and give me your email address I'll send you my backup. It requires NO PROXY or any sort and hardly any info on the APN. But its a modified APN from a Cricket Android Phone. The actual APN I got off of that phone didn't work very well. But I just started modifying it and things started working soo much better.
can i have that fil my e-mail [email protected] will it work for an evo?
Good Evening All, (In the East Coast anyway)
I have done a lot of searching in XDA and Google and I can't seem to find too much detail aside from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935144
My question is specifically for the Verizon Retail Samsung Galaxy S5. Since we are rooted, is it possible to navigate to where the APN settings are stored so changes can be made to them despite the fact that the OS locks us out of it? I read that if you use a non Verizon SIM card, the APN settings can be altered as needed.
Does anybody know what in the OS prevents us from changing the APN settings or know if there is some kind of way to force the OS to allow us to change the APN settings? My main goal was to edit the "APN Protocol" settings to force it to use IPv4 instead of allowing the network to use either or. Applications such as Opera Max, due to the Kitkat VPN bug, won't work unless the mobile data connection is an IPv4 address.
Edit: May found found my answer / solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...ates when the APN settings may be configured?
also need help with this issue i have tried everything
My fix for APN Settings SM-G900V [Verizon Galaxy S5]
Okay guys,
I figured I should post this since I can't find anything thing else online solving this issue.
It took me a couple hours of digging around and teaching myself some basic android stuff but I got APN edit access on my Verizon Galaxy S5 G900V APN settings. First, I wanted access because I switched to straight talk and found I wasn't receiving MMS's. But... Verizon locks access to APN's. I won't tell you the story of how I figured it out, I will just tell you what I did and let you make the decision to do it yourself or not AT YOUR OWN RISK.
1) Your phone must be rooted... look around online and choose your own method- it just needs to be rooted. (can't post a link, sorry)
2) install: Build Prop Editor and APN Settings apps from the App store
-----Build Prop Editor allows you to change system values
-----APN Settings is a menu shortcut that you'll need
3) From another forum, I got this information:
** This forum is written for a different phone (Note3) and so are the codes... but they should work long enough to create an APN...
a)Once [build prop editor] is installed find and open Build Prop Editor
b)Hit the menu button and select Edit
c)Scroll to the bottom of screen and add the following lines
#Code:
ril.sales_code=LOL
ro.csc.sales_code=LOL
d)Hit the save button at the top right hand corner of the screen (looks like a floppy disk)
e)Once this is done saving restart the phone
----This part is where it gets weird. Adding the codes in build.prop creates menu issues so you can't navigate to the APN menu
4) open the app that you downloaded in step 2 (APN Settings), that will bypass the menu.
5) determine the APN you need to create and create it (depends on your provider, do some research) (again, can't post url links)
6) go back to build.prop.editor and delete the lines that you added in step 3 and reboot the phone
7) navigate to your APN settings via the menu, the APN you created will not be visible but it will still be there. Select the Verizon APN so you can connect your phone to 3G or 4G data.
8) Try MMS or group texts
That should be it... If you don't get MMS's go through the process again and try another APN (you may have the wrong one) or you can delete all but the factory APN's to return your phone to the way it used to be.
This worked for me and I hope it works for you too.
P.S. sorry this is a bit late in all the forums
Hello. I was able to make all the changes listed above. I am running into a problem when I change the mnc to my provider straight talk. Basically whatever apn I was attempting to modify is deleted, and I run I to the same problem when creating new apns. I can enter a name and change the apn but that's it. If I make any other changes the apn is no longer in my list.
Thanks,

Hey. So I am not too sure why you don't have permissions to edit apn settings. These are the apn settings Iaccessed and used to get it working on mine... then it is hidden when deleting the build prop codes.
Name
APN
MMSC
MMS Proxy
MMS Port
APN Type
If you don't have access to create a new APN and change those settings following my method, I don't know what to say... Is your phone model a SM-G900V running android 4.4.4? - that's what mine is.
The only other thing I could think is maybe the kernel version when you rooted your phone. I have 3.4.0 and used towelroot and oden to flash it.
Also, I am using Textra as my messaging application and manually configure the APN in those settings to the same one I created.
Hate bumping old threads, but I feel it's relevant in this case. I used the above method to successfully edit the APN and regain internet access and get MMS. However, if I go to Settings>More Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point names, there are none listed at all. I am not getting 4G signal on my SM-G900V running android 4.4.2.
Is there a way to get the actual vzwinternet apn to appear in that menu?

Any updated fixes for this that don't mess with the APN menu? Running Deodexed Optimal ROM and just got my S5 activated on ST. It appears that I can receive photos, but I can't use any apps without being told I have no data/network connection unless WiFi is enabled. Calls and texts appears to work fine. Can not add new APN or edit the verizon one that's in there.

I have the same problem as you with an LG G4 from Verizon on straighttalk. I had ST fix their end to get my data working. They have the Verizon APN settings saved on their server for your phone but their settings have to match your settings. Since you cannot add/edit your APN they have to delete their settings and let it pull from your phone. Verizon lets them use certain APNs for their side of the network, that is why their settings are different than your phone and why they will strongly ask you to update them (even though you cannot). I found this information out because their APN settings got updated when my service renewed. I'm not sure if this will be a problem on each renew or if Verizon/ST will work that out.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 g900v. I am currently using Straight Talk BYOP program. I am having some issues with service and having 3g instead of 4g. It is a 4g capable phone. I am trying to get into the APN settings to change it up to Straight Talks Information, but it is Locked (greyed) out. Is their any way to access this? I am currently rooted and running a custom deodexed rom
change your radio settings

I think if you search you can find info on XDA about enabling all radios for your phone. if its rooted you can try an apk like signal booster or one of those. They have advanced settings that let you select CDMA/GSM/LTE and prioritize your connection.
If you are rooted you can use coded in the dialer to access those same settings and change your connection prefs.
If I had a link I would share.

I used Ricks ROM for a base and got this working. I was able to add APNs but not take away the Verizon one. It works.

I ended up just having to call Straight Talk and they did something on their end that took effect at or around midnight that night. Problem is I had to call them again the following month because after refilling my airtime a day before cutoff I lost my data(which is weird because the new card went in to my reserve). They did something on their end that immediately took effect after a reboot of my device. I'm hoping I don't have to do this every time I refill.
Straight Talk only works for 1 month at time

I have the same problem. I have 2 Verizon Samsung S5 that I have transferred to Straight Talk. Every month for the past 4 months I lose my data signal (calls work fine) . I have to call ST tech support and spend between 15 - 45 minutes (depending on how knowledgeable the tech person is) to get it reset so it works. Each phone does this on a different day so I have to do this twice a month. :crying:
They reset the provisioning on their end. Then I power off and reboot and it works for another month. Does anyone know what I have to set the APN to to fix this problem?
When I used the method in this thread and take the lines out of the build.prop, Only Verizon Internet shows under the APN. Do I need to add a ST APN and not comment out the lines?
I know this is old, but I can't find any way to edit apn settings for my nougat phone on straight talk through verizon towers. Nothing works, even with root.

Thanks,
I know this is really old, but if someone is searching for the unable to edit APN for a Verzion phone, I have a fix.
Connect the phone for ADB debugging. Then open ADB shell and use the command:
am start -a android.intent.action.INSERT content://telephony/carriers --ei simId -1
It won't let you edit the current one or list, but you can add a new one now, and use it. Just reboot the phone after the new APN is in place.
I installed Viper10 and chose Verizon as the carrier since I saw somewhere on the forums that it was the way to get service for sprint and I have everything working fine except I can't send MMS. Is that a problem because of the wrong APN settings or is that just the tradeoff?
P.S: I can receive MMS but can't send them.

did you enter the sprint apn's? go to venomroms.com the settings are posted there, don't forget to save the apn after setting
I looked for the APN settings on venomroms.com and that's what I had and I everything works including LTE data, calling, sms and receiving MMS. Only thing that has problems is sending MMS. If this is just the tradeoff for the custom rom that's fine I'm just wondering if other ppl have the same issue.

i'm on sprint with the same settings and it works fine here, don't know why your's is not??/
make sure there are no syntax errors or typos.
You don't have the APN settings saved correctly. Delete the APN entry you saved, and make sure you enter the settings exactly. Also make sure autocorrects doesn't "fix" your entries. ?
I also had this problem on 2 different 10s in the same house. Couldn't figure out why it didn't work so I went back to viper 3.5 and worked perfectly.

Hello out there, I want to know if anybody any of this issues with the OP5:
1. Viber APP not working
2. VPN connection only works over WIFI, if you are on LTE it tells you there is no network access.
3. GSM Battery, not able to show App usage detail or install root companion.
My phone is rooted already using TWRP and Superuser. Let me know if anybody out there is having the same issues before I look for another ROM.
Thanks,

I have not checked that yet, I just saw a couple listed in some threads. I updated oxygen today to 4.5.3 and Viber is working now. What it doesn't work and it doesn't matter if it is rooted or not is the VPN connection over Cell DATA. I have looked for settings to make it work but I cannot find anything, it doesn't even try to connect.
The other APP I have problems with now is Venmo, the Device authentication screen doesn't show anything on it.
Another update, looks to me that VPN issue I have is related with network access to the Cellphone DATA network, I have now CSIP for VOIP calls not working only on WIFI, I will try to get help from OP support.
Not sure if this was related to your issue but i use TMobile and running stock rooted. I was having an issue with a few apps saying there was no network and i went in and created a whole new T-Mobile apn and my issue has been fixed

Yes, it was related. I did exactly what you said and it works. The problem is the the APN automatically assigned has APN protocol on IPV6. I checked another T-Mobile SIM on a OP2 and it has many more APN options than my OP5. And the one my OP5 uses with IPV6 the OP2 has it IPV4/IPV6. Thank you so much for the info.
