Tilt 2 ATT Wifi Cab, MediaMall Cab, and Opera Proxy

I'm having some problems getting the ATT Wifi and Media Mall cabs after flashing to the latest energy rom.
I think this might be solved if someone can post their stock opera:config settings for proxy. That way I could download the cabs from att through opera.
Any ideas?

[Proxy]
Use Proxy On Local Names Check=1
HTTP Server=wireless.cingular.com
HTTPS server=wireless.cingular.com
Use HTTP=1
Use HTTPS=1
Enable HTTP 1.1 for proxy=1
Added this to my proxy settings (Opera:config in address bar or \windows\opera\opera.ini)
Was able to go to device.home in my browser and navigate to the MediaMall site and then got the cab from there (search wi-fi).

I'm running the WWE ROM on a Tilt 2;
I was able to set the proxy, and browse the medianet page. I ended up going to the regular att website since searching the mobile medianet page didnt get me anything, and have it send me a sms for the wifi download. When I follow the link on the device, the medianet page complains that I do not have a supported device and won;t let me download it.
Is there some medianet component that has to be installed, or do I need to change opera's user agent string? Or is there another link to the wifi app?

Try navigating to http://device.home and if the mobile friendly medialnet site pops up your proxy settings are good. then find the mobile medianet site and search wifi.

I am getting to the mobile medianet site, but searching either in the medianet search, or the mediamall search, i get "no results for your handset" (searching wifi wi-fi wi fi etc.) , similar to the "your device is not supported" message when I use the direct link to the install.
I'm still thinking i need to change my user agent string currently its this;
HTC_Touch_Pro2_T7373 Opera/9.50 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)
anyone know what the stock tilt2 uses? I didn't think to check before i flashed.

It was the UA. Found the string on the ATT devcentral site;
seems huge, but when I changed the custom string in opera to this the download/mediamall access worked;
HTC-ST7377/1.14.502.12 (50433) Opera/9.50 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en) UP.Link/6.3.1.20.06.3.1.20.0
Attached the WiFi client cab. It added some pre-configured wireless networks in the wireless setup, not sure what else its doing for authentication.

ATT Wi-fi cab
I installed the ATT wi-fi cab on my Tilt 2 running the stock ROM, but when I try to run the program in doesn't open. The program shows up in the list of installed programs and in Program Files/Wi Fi Client. Tried a soft reset, but still not working. Any help is appreciated.

uh im a noob but what would be the benefits of using/having a opera proxy
and is the mediamall like a appstore from att?
and what does the att wifi cab do

I haven't been able to get the wifi client working. It just instructs me to turn on my wifi in comm manager and gives me the opportunity to search for locations. Unfortunately, I still was hit by the starbucks wifi login page when I tried.

It seems the tilt 2 ships with 2 different proxy settings out of the box. 1 is a hidden proxy setting in the registry, the other is set in your opera settings. This basically instructs the device to view the internet via ATTs system (basic explanation). You need to do this to access Cellular Video/MediaNet, but otherwise it is usually better to circumvent the proxy.
Right, MediaMall is an ATT appstore filled with java based apps.
ATT Wifi cab supposedly lets you use WiFI for free wherever ATT Wifi is offered (Starbucks/McDonalds/airports).

ATT Wifi
I actually was able to use the ATT wifi at the local Starbucks today. I just turned on my wifi and it picked up the ATT network. I noticed that the ATT Wifi client had added some networks to the list, I guess that did the trick.

Does anyone have the att wifi .cab or know where it is located?

Only if you pay ATT for the wifi service. If you use the MediaNet $15/month package I dont think it will work. I think the Wifi and 3G package starts around $39.

I think the exact requirement is the 30 dollar a month data plan and a newer Windows Mobile device. Any Tilt 2 owner theoretically meets this due to the forced data plan requirement.

I pay $10 for family data unlimited which is usually called $15 for MediaNet unlimited but if you have txt plan it is only $10. This is the plans for non-smartphones on ATT.
I would rather save the monthly fee and not use crappy att wifi. This new att wifi is a way to try to lessen the load on 3G network since they suck. A little while ago the ATT wifi was $69 a month with 3G combo. They added the wifi to the standard package for smartphones in an attempt to get people to use the wifi when available but unless you need a lot of bandwidth (torrents) then the 3G should support the user needs without having us manually look and turn on wifi just to help them out.

I flashed the ENERGY ROM and now don't have MediaMall. Does anyone have a cab or thread to download? I'm also missing the BoardGames that came in the bloatware.
Thanks in case and in advance!

Do you have any clue what this hidden proxy in the registry is? How do I set it so I can use the media mall. I've set everything in Opera and can get to the media mall but all I get for anything is a message saying "no results for your handset." I went to the Media Mall on line (desktop) and found what I was looking for but when I tried the download via a text message they sent it tells me my device isn't supported
Anyone have a clue?

Go to Start -> Tools -> Proxy Manager
There are cab files there to enable and disable the hidden proxy.

T-Mobile UK-OneX-Tethering

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.

T-Mobile Note 3 VPN Tethering

Has anyone found a way to get tethering to work while you have a VPN active? I tried openvpn with private tunnel and they don't allow for data to be sent to the phone when active.
I noticed our phone shipped with ipv6 only with clat. Crazy they are using us for a beta test. ipv6 with clat is ok but some apps still don't work. VPN at least with me, doesn't work.
I added ipv4 APN and VPN connects but the tethering passes no data when active.

I'm wondering if the stock tethering app adds a special route and if a different tethering app or vpn client can bypass it. I wish treve tethering worked.

I got treve to work using a vpn hider weeks ago but the speed was so slow it was taking 30 seconds to load a webpage, I just gave up and bought Pda-Net and haven't worried about it anymore. Even using Chrome spoofed my data racked up and got me flagged after a couple of weeks so I just broke down and paid for this.

How did you use vpn? And how did pda hide your data better?

you have to
1) add the word admin after supl, in the "APN TYPE"
2) also under your "APN Protocol" choose either ipv4 or ipv4/ipv6
there is a thread a few days back with pictures
depending on your rom, you may have to create a "new" apn file, there is a thread for that too

This is exactly I what I had to do on stock. Create a new apn, because I want able to edit the tmobile apn. Though I added word admin first in the "APN TYPE"
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

Using PDA-Net / Foxfi paid under data usage Foxfi shows 4.91kb used for the last 24 hour period when in reality I downloaded 2 full length movies tethered to my laptop as well as 7 hours tethered just browsing and whatnot. Thats at the default setting of level 1 hide tether usage, prior to switching to Foxfi I was using Chrome to spoof with an addon but it would show the actual usage just under that spoof and T-MO acted accordingly, granted they din't do anything until I was upto 30 or 40 gigs lol but still I was raising red flags with them. I'm sure I am an extreme example and most folks can just keep doing the Chrome spoofing and not buy Foxfi key.

Yeah I did that. It didn't help tethering vpn routing.

hotspot/tethering with no internet acess

Hi all,
I have an issue when trying to use wifi hotspot or USB tethering. I am able to connect to the G3 without any issues, but when I connect there is no Internet access on the device I connect with (the G3 still has Internet access when tethered). I have tested this with my laptop and also a different phone and neither device can access the Internet when tethered to the G3. I have also tested the sim card in another device, and confirmed that the sim is not the cause of the problem - the G3 is definitely the cause.
Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening, or how to fix it? I'd prefer not to root the phone.
Details:
LG G3 D855, 32 GB version.
Software: V20c-SEA
I am not rooted and I'm using the stock ROM.

I have just discovered that tethering will work on my phone when I disable 4G.
i.e. when I select "GSM/WCDMA auto" as my preferred network mode, tethering works.
when I select "GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto", tethering will not work (as described in first post).
Does anyone know why LTE would prevent tethering from working?

OK, so I finally managed to find a very simple solution to my own problem. I'll post here in case anyone else has the same problem.
In phone settings, go to:
Tethering & Networks --> Mobile Networks --> Access point names
Click on your relevant APN to get into the settings.
Edit "APN type" and delete it so it's empty (mine previously said "default").
Save the changes.
That's it! Tethering should work now.

That's fantastic dubcmj!!!
Worked perfectly for me too. So happy right now!

I got a Rogers G3 and had no internet access after connect to hotspot. The Rogers APN cannot be edited. So I created a new APN with just the name and ltemobile.apn, leave all other settings blank. Tethering works now.

---------- Post added at 11:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 PM ----------
Good thread. The above didn't solve for my issue but pointed me in the right direction. My network provider (OPTUS AUSTRALIA) had multiple APN's. Tethering with the default APN failed to allow internet access via wifi hotspot. I changed the APN to default using a different APN and reconnected my laptop and this now works. The alternative was to turn the phone off and on again which was driving me nuts. I hope this helps anyone else with the same issue.

Thanx.
Worked for me.
Thanks.

Great my LG-H831 G5 was also fixed by this so thanks.
I've got that settings with text message by my wireless career ... So I guess they are to blame for together with LG's crappy heavily customized roms

Thanks so much for this! I have a completely different cell phone (Samsung Galaxy S7 edge) with Vodafone NL and had the same issue.

Sprint Hotspot Hack w/ Android 10

I lost my hotspot hack when I updated my Sprint S10 to Android 10 like everyone else but I just found a fix! It works on my S10 so I’m guessing it’ll work the same for S10+ users.
##3282# then APN Settings
(The left clicking to unlock editing doesn’t work anymore like you all said)
Go into APN2 and take pictures with another device of all the settings
Go back and click ADD next to Access Point Names
Fill in the data identical to the original APN2 data except APN TYPE add dun between mms and xcap
Upper right hand menu and SAVE
You will now have two APN2. Select the one that has DUN in the APN type and hit the left arrow next to Access Point Names to set it.
Crazy enough it worked!

It works but for some reason it's not near as fast as the s10 plus running Android 9 and hacking that the old way.... I play gta online I can't load other players with my hotspot but my wife's phone (still on Android 9) will let me load other players anyone know a work around for this

Use a vpn. It seems its being detected as media and such thats throttled. Of course in order for the vpn to work on the connected device it has to be run from the connected device.

If your phone is unlocked 000000
If it is not, ie leased phone, you'll have to see if sprint will give it up.
I lost hotspot on s9 plus going to android 10. Worked flawlessly through oreo and pie. Not impressed by Android 10 either. Hopefully I'll be able to downgrade without too much hassle.

Downgraded s9 plus last night to restore hotspot workaround. Crappy part is that I'm in an area that doesn't offer a comparable internet.

I know its been awhile, but ive figured out that in order to use anything xbox related regardless of vpn you need to use the Public IP addon from sprint. I believe its only $2.99 extra/month. Thats what i had to do in order to use xbox live via my hotspot.

Creating the new APN after getting the android 10 upgrade and it worked for me, but it appears Sprint has UDP blocked. I noticed this affecting me on Discord voice chat and loading roblox games.
Following Discord's advice, I went here https://test.webrtc.org/ and it showed no UDP.
UDP is a bit beyond my understanding. No idea how to get past this issue.

haha yea.. things like this is why they set limits/restrictions on hotspot to begin with..
sprints network (and most mobile networks) arent made to handld continuous live gaming..
back when i used to work for uscellular it was even in their policies as being against the rules.. that as well as things like continuous p2p streaming, torrents n other stuff..
i wouldnt b surprised if in the future carriers remove the ability to edit apns altogether since this is how ppl have been bypassing restrictions for years.

Ok after a little poking around, it seems the Mobile virtual network operator info is a double-edged sword here. By default on Sprint, it is set to None. By setting it to GID, you are unmonitored, but UDP does not work. Once I remade it without MVNO set, I connected to Discord voicechat just fine. Then some updates ate all my data.
I'm not sure if removing xcap from the APN Type list had any affect, but I both added it back in and removed MVNO before I ate all my hotspot.
I rebuilt it again without xcap or an MVNO, but the damage had already been done and I'm throttled. I'll be back with an update at the start of my next billing cycle (or sooner if things start working in my favor!)
Edit: Also, any changes seemed to kill my MMS. Swapping back to default immediately downloaded the message. hmm...
Edit2: oops! So it's important to note that there should be no spaces in your APN Type field. It's not a valid character, so nothing after default was loaded. Nice. And MMS is back as well. Still throttled internet, but at least one thing is resolved...

Did the most recent update break this method?

try it and report back.. theres literally no harm in trying

Here's my update. Once I rebooted everything, I was able to get highspeed hotspot back. It has been working ever since, just not UDP things still like Discord voice chat or Roblox.
Further update, Sprint has increased all hotspot allotments to 20GB for 2 billing cycles. We'll see if this gets pushed out. If you don't use any more than that, then don't worry about this process for now (always good to know things though).
My method:
- Manually copy over all settings (write it down so you have it because a profile update will wipe new APNs)
- add ,dun to the end of the APN Type line.
- copied the APN Name exactly, but added a 2 to the end (I don't think this matters, but just in case!)
Weird note though. I downloaded a game off of Steam on friday. While downloading, I would periodically check the My Sprint app to see if my hotspot usage moved. It did, but in an unsuspected way. After downloading the first GB, my hotspot usage would say "Used 0.0001 / 20 GB" and would tick up similarly for each GB downloaded. I paused it to make sure I didn't get any "used 75%" texts or emails, but they never came. So after 18GB, it said "Used 0.0018 / 20 GB", or 1.8 MB...how strange...

So if my apn type just has "default" in it should I skip adding mms,xcap,supl and just add dun?

Sorry if that was misleading. Your original APN from Sprint should have said "default,mms,xcap,supl" so you will still have to add all that and add dun to the end.
