Hey,
I just installed WP7, it's all running very smooth but my Wifi doesn't find any networks and I don't know how to set my APN settings.
I read other posts saying go to settins->mobile network and then edit apn. But I only see Add apn which asks for a username and a password?
Help would be appreciated.

Are you T mobile? All I did was put the carriers name. I have T mobile so i put "T-Mobile US" and left the rest blank. Worked for me.
apn
apn: epc.tmobile.com
user name: blank
password: blank
works for me (tmous) been using it for a couple hours. had one random reboot, but all good after that
I had the same problem, I use HI although he suggest i'm on KPN but you have insert in the APN section: portalmmm.nl
Wifi doesn't see any networks at all? Odd.
Wifi's working well enough for me. I did notice some pretty weird stuff, though:
It seems to be impossible to find out your wifi MAC address from within WP7 - I had to browse through my router's logs for it.
Once I found it, though, I soon realized that it was actually useless to know in the first place, since the MAC address seems to change every boot with this ROM (forget about restricting access to your network based on MAC).
While modifying router settings to get the phone to connect, WP7 also froze on me a few times.
WP7 will not connect at all with networks with a hidden SSID.
It would seem there's still some room for improvement on the wifi front.
I've the same problem with Wifi since i flash the OS with a SD cards !If i remove this one, all works fine!
wifi workig great here with conectify as AP. mac is changed on every restart also.
My wifi works and the phone shows a 3g, H etc signal, but I cant sent mms
Prepaid T-Mobile service
I believe the problem with the settings are not for the regular T-Mobile service, but for the Prepaid T-Mobile service (SimpleMobile), there is no place configure the APN with all the necessary settings like: Proxy, Port, MMSC, MMS proxy, MCC, MNC, etc.
If anyone finds a way to setup this values on HD2WP7 please post here.
Thank you in advance
Load the attached connection setup xap and run it, it will automatically apply your carrier settings for 3G and mms. Worked perfect for me (TMoUSA)
How do I load this file? I already tried it from the phone, but it doesn't work.
Does anyone know how I could sync to outlook with my hd2 wp7
When go to settings > celuar, click on automatic, then press manual. When you have done that you see a button sais APN. Click on it and put this in (Vodafone)
APN: live.vodafone.com
user: vodafone
pass: vodafone
All done, now It works (for me anyway). Wifi sucks on some SD cards, don't know wich ones.
Also there is somwhere here a APN list for alot of country's and providers. Search google XDA APN settings or so.
Thing this would work for getting ATT 3G and MMS working?
Yes, as long you as you put youre own providers APN settings It should.
I can't configure the apn settings, and the HTC Connection Setup show me this message: "the carrier doesn't exist in database. Please contact your carrier for connection setting and go to Setting>Cellular>edit APN for further configuration"...
Is there a way add my carrier the the database of the connection setup?
Any luck with the WIFI issue?
I've tried the above mentioned solution by removing the SD C & reboot again but i didn't work for me.
When I execute the stock app Hotspot mobile 3g, it send this message:
"it's not possible to set data connection"
(in italian "Non è possibile impostare il collegamento dati")
I have froyo stock with operator Vodafone and I surf the Internet perfectly in 3g with the apn "web.omnitel", but the hotspot don't work.
I also called Vodafone and they told me that everything is ok.
Do you have any idea on this?
---------------------------------------
The problem has been solved thanks to UDria
This is a common problem. Apparently Motorola have rewritten the original Android hotspot feature. It now searches for some kind of privilege on your carrier account, which allows for sharing/tethering the data connection. However, Vodafone does not grant this permission.
Your contract with Vodafone or any other carrier does not allow you to share your data connection over multiple devices. They will however "allow" data tethering through the "stock" Android tether feature, which does not require this permission, as long as your usage does not exceed that of the average client.
Too sum it up, in short, yes Motorola have managed to screw their own customers royally on this . I have yet to find a different apk that does support normal tethering. Tips anyone?
Thanks for the reply, I think what you said is right. Then we must find alternative application that works.

Search on Market for Wireless Tether for Root Users. It works just like the app that comes preinstalled, only 5 connections.

you can use the default with custom settings at your hotspot 3g use de type DEFAULT and another type DUP, then you can use
i try this settings and get working again
without wireless teather from market
I'm on Vodafone Au and I found that only open network works, if you put wep or wpa, it won't be able to setup data link.
I think I understood that it depends on my Vodafone ITA phone plan "Internet Sempre Smart", that does not allow the use of wifi hotspot.

It is a bug solved in firmware 2.4.24. I think so.
Sent from my Milestone 2 XDA App
Is your Milestone 2 Vodafone branded?
I ask you this because my phone doesn't have any problem with web.omnitel.it APN.
Are you sure your settings are right?
Yes, Vodafone is my phone company. I tried several configurations but the hotspot does not works. Perhaps it may also depend on the type of phone plan, I have Internet Sempre Smart.
Please could you tell me what parameters to use in the hotspot?
Those are my APN settings
Name: what you want
APN: web.omnitel.it
Proxy: none
Port: none
User Name: none
Password: none
Server: none
MMSC: none
MMS Proxy: none
MMS Port: none
MCC: 222
MNC: 10
Authentication Type: none
APN Type: none
Thank you very much UDria, now my hotspot works very well!
I have only changed the parameter APN Type from "default" to "none" and this setting has solved the problem.
sorry gyus, I have the exact same problem, but I cant find the settings u are talking about at all?
The instructions translated from italian are:
setup > wireless and network > set options for network, APNs > point of access names > click on your APN > APN type <none>

Well, thanks for solving this problem. I was unaware of this solution so sorry for my previous post. That fixed the problem for me as well, after 3 months
Thanks again!
Not at all, i'm glad that many people including me can solve the problem of hot spot 3g thanks to this thread
So the internet went out today and I though... Why don't I use my phone as a hotspot until it comes back up. After enabling native tethering I connected my laptop to it and it got an IP. I opened my homepage (google.com) and it loaded. After that I did a search on google and it worked. Then I clicked the link and it didn't go anywhere. I thought it was a server down or something so I clicked on another link and the same thing happened. After messing around with it some more I found that anything google related... the play store, youtube worked find but no other site would load. I decided to flash a different rom because I though that was the culprit but it didn't make any difference. I do have the LTE modem installed and franco kernel. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
Go into your network setting , Find your APN under Mobile Networks and check to see if you are using IPv6. If you are, change it to IPv4 if you can. This may or may not be possible depending on the ROM you are using, this was what got it working on the CM11 based ROM I use. Some evidently require the use of an SQL editor.
Good Luck

Spot on my friend. APN protocol was on IPv6 and APN roaming protocol was on IPv4. I changed APN protocol to IPv4 and it is working great. Thanks for the help. Was pulling my hair out on this one.
ditto
worked for me
Howdy fellas,
I used to have HotSpot on my "stock" phone before then I updated my phone to KitKat and I had totally forgot about the HotSpot setting.
So I need your help. I rather not root my phone but if thats the only choice I have to get HotSpot unlimited data then that's fine.
So this is what I have
Under Access Point Names
-APN -> fast.t-mobile.com
MCC -. 310
MNC - 260
APN type - default,mms,supl,hipri,fota,dun
APN protocol -> IPv4
and I'm using HotSpot Toggle widget
I have all these settings for it to work but it hasn't. If I have left anything out I'll provide the info needed to get this working.
Carrier is T-Mobile and its Note 3
thanks

First, please make sure your APN settings is correct by checking the connection to the Internet.
If you are not sure about APN settings, you should ask your service provider (or your mobile operator)
Once you can access to the Internet using this APN, you can easily active the hotspot.

vndnguyen, thanks for the reply...
It works but I want it to bypass T-Mobile hotspot limit without them knowing. Before when I had the settings correct it wasnt affecting the Data but now it is.
bump... is there any threads on this subject. if so please provide a link...ill appreciate it.
I had a hard time trying to get my tether to work through phone data instead of hotspot data but I finally was able to do it. I found information through the forum but nothing consolidating everything into one post. Some post came from the Flex group, some form Nexus 5 and other sites for info but I did the setup on my phone and it work!!
Must Have (these are the apps I used):
You need to be rooted.
SQLite Editor
Smanager
Things to do:
You will need to edit your APN
Edit your build.prop
Global settings
Editing your APN:
Go to your Settings>MORE>Cellular Networks>Access Point Names
Create a new APN that matches the Original T-Mobile GPRS
Make the changes to match like the pictures attached.
(Known changes made were adding dun to the APN type)
Editing your build.prop:
open SManager
go to System>build.prop
open the file as text and add the following to bottom of the file
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
Save the file
Editing the Global:
Open SQLite Editor
Click on the Files tab
navigate to the following directory
Data>data >com. Android. Provider. Setings.db>Global
Look for the following entries. If the entry is not listed, add it to the file
package_verifier_enable =0
tether_dun_required =0
That should be it. Let me know if you have any questions.
I am on T-Mobile...I have been using Wifi Tether Router from the Play store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter&hl=en
It masks internet activity and makes it all look like phone data. Have been using it over a year now and have never tripped up T-Mobile's alarms (and I have gone many gigs over the limit at times...but in general I don't abuse it). I like it because once it is set up, it is literally like a light switch. It takes a few seconds to turn on or off, but it works great. All that is required is root. You do need to tweak the settings to get it working on the Nexus 6, but mine works flawlessly.
I don't doubt that there are ways to get it working for free, but to me the convenience of auto-pilot is worth $2.50. I love that app.

APN has to have all IP-related setting show as IPv4.
(Settings -> Adv Settings -> T-Mobile GPRS (fast.t-mobile.com) -> APN Type/APN Protocal/APN Romaing)
All boxes on the main screen should be be UNchecked...except for "No Firmware Reload"...that needs to be checked.
I think all other settings can remain at defaults.
The developer (Fabio, [email protected]) is actually fairly responsive. I don't think he's a native english speaker but he's obviously intelligent and knows his stuff. There were some serious issues when Lollipop first came out (at least for Nexus devices), but the app seems to be working smoothly again.

I use this as well on T-Mo works great. I do however every now and then need to clear the app's data and reset it up to get it to work but once that is done the app works great.
I did mine this way since I like using the the native tether. I tried those before and liked it but in my office, I try to not be "that guy" which using the native tether works Good thing is that there are many ways to get around the problem and I wanted to share this since I was able to find it as a single post. I'm just contributing to the community.

Oh I am not mad about you posting this at all and thank you for adding this for the community. It always helps someone out there.
Is this all for the stock rom or why are there so many steps? Ive used tmobile with wifi hotspot without issues on slimlp and doing this command via ADB stops the upsell at 5gb
This command replaces the steps of using a sql editor, if you don't want to purchase one or do not have one you can use adb and a computer
adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/global --bind name:s:tether_dun_required --bind value:i:0
To verify the entry was successfully added, execute the following:
adb shell content query --uri content://settings/global --where "name='tether_dun_required' AND value=0"
If the query returns a row_id, you are good to go. Reboot phone and you should be fine.
Obviously you cannot use the IPv6 APN, tethering doesn't work. Here is my APN, I never had to do the build prop edit either as most roms include that now, at least SlimLP does.

I'm too lazy to type everything, so here's screenshots of my configuration.
volte breaks this?
Hey I've used the original post in the past successfully, but now that I've updated to 5.1 and have the advanced LTE services, it broke. It seems like if I have the advanced LTE turned off, it still works OK, but turn it on, and my tether gets metered again.
Anyone else notice this?
EDIT: Nevermind, it's not working at all now. I'll see if I can figure out why.
I just used the same setting form the OP and it seems to work for me. I am running Chrome 5.1 build. I do notice that sometimes some data goes through the hotspot route but most of the time it is going through the unlimited data route. Im not 100% sure if the data that went through the hotspot route is from my BT tether from my tablet. I will keep an eye on this since I have to recover my phone from an accidental data delete.
I'd like to report that this method no longer works for me. T-mobile seems to detect and counts my tether usage against my 3GB hotspot limit per month.
It's weird that it still works for me. I do have some traffic data on my Smartphone Mobile Hotspot but not not that much. I'g gotten 7gb of data through this method but I didt accumulate 800 MB of data through hotspot. This is with me only using my phone as a hotspot with my tablet and laptop.
