I can't get wifi hotspot to work (Tmob UK). I don't think it's a block on their side - when I put the sim in my old Desire (CM7) it works fine. So it's something in the OneX. I'm rooted, but none of the thrid party apps like Barnacle work either.
Anyoen know what's up, I'm tearing my hair out!
had same problem after flashing roms, resolved it by going to apns settings and under menu resetting to default, give it a try
Go to wireless network settings, find the apn part, create a new apn with the exact same setting as the default one (one with the blue dot) BUT rename it to: 'Consumer Broadband' BOOM problem solved

If your rooted it could be down to the APN settings as i used to have to change it on me old devices for orange, HD2 and Desire bravo, but didnt have to change anything on me one x stock, type it into google along with tmobile and the right apn settings should be there if not ring your network provider and they will give you them over the phone, the apn was called something like consumer broadband on my desire.. hope this helps
Thanks All,
Changing the name worked a treat!

I have a Vodafone-supplied Desire. When trying to access mobile tv via http://yamgo.mobi/ or mobile radio via http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/listen.mp neither will work.
I though first of all it was because Vodafone blocks media streaming, so I took an o2 sim from my old Dream which I know can stream this stuff, and put it in my Desire. I have all the correct apn and everything, with data functions working, yet no streaming still. The media player just shows "Loading..." for ages, then a pop-up says "Cannot play video Unable to connect to server".
Have Vodafone crippled my Desire somehow with the ROM?
Is there anyone else who has a Voda Desire and has managed to get streaming working with a different networrk sim in it?
In fact does anyone have the standard HTC rom on their phone and have streaming working?
This is crucial to me, as I have less than 14 days to decide whether to keep my o2 sim or not.
My desire's locked to o2 and I couldnt stream from catchuptv or yamgo. But changing my apn settings has now made it work so maybe you could try and get some different vodafone apn settings.
Hope this helps you
Check the Voda forums. There seems to be some kind of blocking going on - some have suggested using their WAP settings rather than Internet APN settings to get it to work. Looks like just another way for Voda to curb your data usage

Could you share your APN settings please? I have an o2 sim that I'm hoping to get working, so I can dump Vodafone once and for all.
See post #129 on this thread:

Same thing, looks like it could well be a Vodafone Rom block !
This is doing my head in now. I've managed to get streaming working on the (Vodafone) Desire using an o2 sim, but no matter what I do, I can't also have MMS working as well.
I've tried using the same APN for data access and MMS but MMS doesn't work.
Using the APN where MMS works, data works except streaming media doesn't work. I've tried every possible combination, using one APN, or two APNs. Very confused!!
Now I can actually get streaming working I think that disproves my theory that the Vodafone ROM is to blame. It's just getting the correct APN is my problem.
I've contacted O2, and the APN settings they suggest allow data and MMS, but no streaming.
Anyone on o2 who has the correct APN settings to allow data/streaming/MMS all together, please speak up!
Hey
I just got a HTC Desire Z and im trying to use the internet on the phone or anything that uses the internet but it keeps saying to go in and check the data connection options or wifi etc.
I am with Optus and it picks that up and registers to the network the correct options are enabled to receive data aswell.
And the phone has reception.
don't know what else to try.. because as soon as i put the SIM back into my TouchPro 2 it connects to the internet fine no problems.
any suggestions ?
everything is stock haven't changed anything yet .. i just dunno what else to try
Thanks

Contact the provider your bought it from? Or if you bought it on craigslist there is a good chance that it had issues to begin with and you should have checked during the transaction...
okay thanks i purchased it from smoothmobiles.com.au where i got my HTC TouchPro2 which worked fine maybe I got a DUD
Are you connected to a WiFi network, and does that work? Do voice calls work? If voice works, and data doesn't, then you probably need to manually enter the data network APN info for your carrier. Go to Settings>Wireless & Networks>Mobile networks>Access Point Names.
Search on Google to find the proper APN settings for your carrier, then enter them into the phone. This is common when buying unlocked phones. If the APN info is not in the phones database, you need to enter it manually.
If even WiFi does not work, something else is going on.
Thanks mate it was the APN. You made me a very happy chappy today haha.
Hey I'm just wondering if anyone else is experiencing an issue where apps will download over Wi-Fi but not over the cellular network. It will start the download but never actually get anywhere an eventually error out. Need to know if I need to go grab a new GN or not!!
That's your cellular network provider at fault if downloads are fine over WiFi.

I'm a sales rep for Telus and every android phone I've set up never has a problem downloading apps over the network...
I was having some issues with the market, but once I flashed the google image instead of the samsung version that came installed, I haven't had a problem.
Now if I could figure out how to get the tmobile market....
I think there was a previous post about this. The answer seemed to be if you have a proxy set up in the APN settings that was preventing it from downloading over the cell network. Not sure what the default APN settings are for Telus so I dunno if there is a proxy or not.
Thanks for the info. I'll try manually doing the APN settings!
Definitely didn't work

Hey, I had the same issue, along with another user.
The fix that worked for both of us is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371995
Basically edit your APN settings so that the "proxy" field is empty instead of populated.
Edit: The person that actually found the fix is jayclapp and he is on Telus, so this should work for you...I'm on mobilicity and it worked for me too.
Thank you so much for linking me to this. I was about to return it tomorrow and buy an Amaze. Now I get to keep my awesome GN =D thank you!
I have just started a T-Mobile contract in the UK on the Full Monty plan that gives unlimited data and includes tethering.
The handset used is unbranded and unlocked but I couldnt tether with it for some reason, either via wifi hotspot or USB Tether. The internet on the handset worked fine.
I couldnt call 150 customer service as that dept shut at 10pm so had a play with the apn's.
The three APN's set up as default are all locked and uneditable so my plan was to edit the broadband one in someway.
So, I copied all the settings, set up the APN's as another network, deleted them and added the three default APN's manually.
Once I did this, tethering started to work, with no actual change to any of the settings.
Just a heads up if anyone else comes across this and a fix that worked for me.
Steve
Yep rename apn to consumer broadband, people with many HTC s will known this, glad you figured it out

Many thanks for this post. Would you mind expanding / elaborating on the above steps at all? Not sure how to do this. Have tried creating new APNs with the same settings with no luck. Any pointers much appreciated, thanks.

Yeah - I'd like easier steps too listed please - and thanks for sharing!
I made a mistake in my original post.
Seems that what was happening is that I was using the T-mobile Orange signal and not been able to tether. After messing with the APN's the phone went back to T-Mobile and so started to work. Nothing to do with the messing with the APN's
But, what does seem to work, is to re-create the APN's as they were, but on the first entry, change APN type from 'default,hipri' to 'default,hipri,dun'
That works on T-Mobile and when roaming onto Orange it seems
To do this, copy the info from all three APN's and then with the APN screen open, select menu and then 'reset to default'
This deletes the APN's and then gives you the choice of carrier to use. I used Virgin I think (doesnt matter which you use) but once the new APN(s) are there, just delete them. Then, menu and add APN.
Set up each of the APN's as they were before, except the above change (adding dun to the Apn type)

Smashing thanks. Tethering working fine now on T-Mo only, will try the solution you suggest for T-Mo/Orange when I get a chance. Much appreciated!
I don't have any problems tethering whilst on Orange on Android handsets. I'm not on Full Monty though, if that makes any difference. It is impossible to tether on an iPhone whilst on T-MobileOrange though. The hotspot option is just greyed out. As soon as you switch back to TMobile you get the option to switch it on again. Orange 3G is utter crap anyway. Unfortunately I pretty much roam onto it whether I like it or not at my new address.
as usual i'm stumbling at the first block...
'copy the info from all three APN's'...
when i click on any of them all the settings are greyed out, i wonder what i'm doing wrong?
edit:
sussed and working fine now
Just about to do this.
Out of curiosity what is the Broadband APN for??
Is it a tethering only APN? e.g. Now tethering is removed from NEW Full Monty contract connections (of which i have one) If i tether, thus using that APN, will they be able to see that and have a go.
Or now tethering is removed will that APN not work?

I reckon tethering will work…. but will get charged…. and its likely to be expensive.
Seems a strange decision on TMO's part TBH, as they share part of the backhaul with 3 UK you would think that they could cope with extra bandwidth needed.
I assume the broadband APN is for tethering but as I say, if used then it will be billed. Just cos the handset/set up can do it, doesnt meant it wont go past the billing systems.

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.
