The stock Froyo ROM is quite cumbersome when multiple APNs are used.
Apart from the MMS APN, I have two other APNs set up: one for plain internet access and the other one for intranet or company email.
Switching from one to the other involved the following steps (I have a Dutch ROM so the exact wording may be different):
1. Home screen/Menu/Settings/Wireless and networks and then switch of the current data connection
2. Select the menu item below: mobile networks/APNs and choose another APN
3. In the Wireless and networks screen, re-enable the data connection
4. Go back to the application that needed another APN and start working again
On Windows Mobile, it was easier to indicate what APN had to be used for what purpose.
Isn't there an easier way to do this?
Thanks,
Mark
? Is this a general froyo issue? I am still on 2.1 and hesitating to upgrade, this would be a dealbreaker for me as I use the same setup...
Currently I use a bettercut shortcut directly to my apn's which works perfectly, no need to do something else besides selecting apn

Running 2.3.3 Generic UK ROM, boot loader locked, not rooted, just completely stock!
As soon as I enable tethering (wifi or usb) the phone drops the data connection (H, 3G, etc. disappears from the notification bar) and my laptop says connected but no internet connection, as soon as I disable tethering the data connection comes back.
I have tried disabling and re-enabling data whilst tethered and it will flick up for a second then disappear again!
This is really annoying as I used to use tethering quite a bit with my X10 Mini!
Any idea's welcome!
Thanks!
After some googling it seems I'm not the only one with this problem, but no solutions yet...

also me the same problem
It's quite a big problem IMO, one of the major functions I want to be able to use and cant!!
i had exactly the same problem, sent the phone off to sony ericsson for repair, waiting for it to come back.... see what happens...
Oh, it works now very well. I just deleted the old wifi-network connections on the computer and now its flawless.
i am experiencing the same problem. I could tether nicely with my X10 and now with my newer and faster Arc, I can't share wifi, which is annoying when I'm out with my ipad and need a wifi connection
SE! we need a fix ASAP!
I've done some tethering with 3.0.1.A.0.145 and it worked flawlessly? Multiple devices at the same time, all of them had pretty smooth internet!
Lucky you!! lol
This problem still exists for me, I try again everynow and then and have only had it work once with a friends iPhone4 connected.
Does it help if you put ",dun" under APN settings>APN Type ?
If there is something already under APN type field just put a ",dun" next to it, save settings and try it by turning on Wifi hotspot.
Or if the field is empty just put there "default,dun" save setting and try.
Hope it helps.
My APN is default,supl and it works perfectly!

I have the same issue! Any help??
This worked for me!!!!
All you need to do is go to Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names
Select your active APN
Scroll down to "APN Type" and click on it
Add ",dun" to the APN Type of your active APN. eg APN Type = "default,supl,dun"
After editing this, you should be able to turn on the Portable Hotspot without the 3G mobile data connection dropping out.
Many thanks guys! I just added ",dun" to mine. Now tethering using this (Rogers) to write this reply!

Heavy Googling mate! lol
Been bugging me since I got the phone two months ago!
I upgraded to 2.3.3 on a Droid 2. I unlocked and rooted the phone but the Wifi no matter which program I use goes to the Verizon site which warns me that I have to pay twenty dollars a month. Has anyone fixed this yet or is there a URL I can go to to solve this issue? If not can someone provide me with a one click fix to go back to the Froyo, and an URL for that?
So i was wondering do i need the dsa server url to the carrier im using for the internet to fully work on my phone? I have just about all the settings in my data profile and advanced profile set to revol except the dsa server url, which i havent been able to find anywhere online and the rtsp proxy port, http pd proxy port, rtsp proxy address and http pd proxy address. Are these settings necessary to change the get the internet fully working on my Evo?
Also i was wondering is my internet almost working bcuz i got my MMS to work but i still cant use the web browser or market... i have a little 3g sign at the top of my screen when i turn mobile network on
I used QPST TO change most of the settings and after the phone rebooted the first time it showed the 3g sign which it didnt show before but yet i still cant access the internet
Does anyone know? I've been trying to find out myself but all i keep getting back to is the same questions which were never answered.

Lol I love responding to ancient questions. Sadly I do not have a direct/technical answer, but I can tell you that if I flash and my phone is refusing to "activate" I do a reset to "DSA" using service codes and it then allows me to activate and use 3g.
As I could not find a thread about this specifically, I am posting this solution as it works for me.
On the Galaxy S2 SGH-T989 is where this pertains to though other users might encounter similar problem with other phones on simple mobile.
Stock 2.3.6 Rom
When you turn on the portable hotspot feature with this phone, what it does is disconnect your "Simple Mobile" APN and inserts and connects using a new APN called "Tethering". When you try connecting with your PC to your hotspot's ssid, it takes you to a web page on t-mobile.com informing you with an error 503 or some other error stating that its not available. I assume t-mobile is detecting that you are not their customer and blocks it.
it takes you here:
-------------------------------------------------------
http://androidapi.t-mobile.com/apppack/mvno.html
Error 503--Service Unavailable
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.5.4 503 Service Unavailable
The server is currently unable to handle the request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server. The implication is that this is a temporary condition which will be alleviated after some delay. If known, the length of the delay may be indicated in a Retry-After header. If no Retry-After is given, the client SHOULD handle the response as it would for a 500 response.
Note: The existence of the 503 status code does not imply that a server must use it when becoming overloaded. Some servers may wish to simply refuse the connection.
---------------------------------------------------------
The reason is because that APN tries to connect to "pcweb.tmobile.com". What you have to do is once you activate your hotspot, you have to edit the apn (while it is running) and change it from pcweb.tmobile.com to simple.
No other setting is needed. I am using "APN manager" which I paid for on the market and it is well worth it. I have used it for other purposes besides this and it allows you to edit the APN while it is live. Hope this helps other simple mobile users...
Also, you have to edit this "Tethering" APN every time you run the hotspot and delete the last one as it will just keep adding the new one with the t-mobile settings every time.
Anyone else out there with another solution please post it..

Have you tried foxfi and wifi tether?
Looks like a good alternative. Thanks..

This thread saved me! While I did not follow the instructions, it got me thinking to check the apn settings on my phone. As it turned out my apn was changed to a different apn when i turned on my hotspot and all I had to do was select my original apn again and tethering began to work! Awesome!
I'm using a freetel FTU152D (Samurai Kiwami) on Simple Mobile. It does change the APN every time I turn on the Hotspot, but fixing the APN settings doesn't seem to do anything; other devices connect to the wifi, but still can't see the internet. Meanwhile, I still have internet access on the FTU152D. Any ideas?

I've used my FTU152D as a Wi-Fi source using the dialog in settings and it works fine. Other devices can connect. My FTU152D is rooted with kingroot, however, would that make a difference?

I rooted mine early on with kingroot, but unrooted it when I couldn't find any third party ROMs. I think I tried the Hotspot while it was rooted, but I don't remember for sure. I'll have to try it again.
Hi guys.I've wanted to ask is someone having problems with the internet sharing on the HTC 8S?
I have this phone almost a year and in the first few months it was working all fine but since then i can't manage to share the internet over it.
It is enabling like it should and all the devices are connecting to it without no problem, just can't go to the net.
Can someone give me an advice where could be the problem?
Thanks.

Check setting of internet APN. Suddenly, mine has been changed to wap APN. Changing back to internet (no user and password, no proxy, etc.) solved this issue for me.

Tethering should only work if proper APN setup is done. If these setting are empty (as you said), then tethering cannot work. That is my experience, too. Check which APN you are subscribed to, or which APN does your operator use for internet access.
Unfortunately my operator currently does not have support for my HTC 8S for the APN's.I'm stuck with no setting's at this moment.All the fields are blank and everything is working just fine only no tethering.Can I somehow copy the setting's from my friends Galaxy S3 who has tethering option and it's on the same operator?

You only need to put APN name, usually "internet" is used for internet access.
Ok i think i fix it now.I will try later with my PC at home and see if it can connect too.I've tried with another android device and it has connected without a problem.The problem was in the apn parameters given from my Operator.I've found them on another site and it looks like these are the correct ones.Anyway thank you a lot for your efforts.
If i have any further problem's I'll post it again.
Take care.
