Hey guys!
I have my S4 rooted and with a custom ROM, current with Infamous S4 Google Edition. Since tmobile turned on LTE in my island, in every area I have LTE, tethering doesn't work. This ONLY happens under LTE, can anyone help me out here? Is there an APN I have to modify or add?
How many apn's do you have? If you have both fast.tmobile and epc.tmobile, then delete the epc.tmobile apn, reboot and you should be good.
Make sure you notate the epc.tmobile settings incase you need to create the apn again. I took screen shots as my backup.

I have both fast.t-mobile and epc.tmobile but fast.t-mobile is the one chosen. Does it matter if the epc one is still there?

If you delete the epc one then you should be able to tether.
Here's a post from someone on Wicked v4 that figured it out as well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43094428
Don't forget to thank him too if it works for you.
Flash a different ROM. I was having that problem on all TW ROMs but the Jedi one.

IT WORKS!!! Although it wasn't just deleting the epc.tmobile APN, after deleting it I had to re-add it but with certain changes (I think but I didn't check the original before deleting it). Anyway thanks to you man (and I already thanked poster in your link)! Hope this helps others on the same situation.

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.

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.

i saw other posts mentioning not being able to save APN settings in cm10, but did not see a resolution. does anyone know how to get APN settings to stick with cm10 on 3G networks? i'm running the latest 11-13 build by aeroevan at the moment. thanks.

Might want to try the gosms pro app as it uses its own apn setting as far as I know. My mms only sends through this app so I believe this is a alternative to have mms

I have the Galaxy S3 on AT&T, after installing Android v 4.1.2 with MIUI version MIUI.us 3.1.11, I can no longer send / receive MMS (picture messages). I read somewhere on here to change my APN settings, the only one I saw to change was APN TYPE: default,supl,mms,hipri. Still not working ? Is there something else that needs to be changed / added / or deleted ??

Look for your carrier's APNs and make sure they matches the one you have. You should have one for LTE and one for MMS.

I have matched and kept my APN factory, and changed APN according to those found on this site and others. Still no luck ?? When I was on CM10.0, everythinmg worked fine, it has something to do with MIUI I'm guessing.

I'm not sure about MIUI but are you sending them while on data?
Figured it out... There are 3 APN settings, I deleted the 2 that were not being used. So the only one you should have is remaing is ATT LTE.

This was the answer for me as well. I believe I saw one for Cricket Wireless, A wap.cingular, and another APN that didn't sound like it was needed. After deleting them I got my MMS back.
Thanks.
I don't have much time so Ill revisit this later and give it more details
What this update zip does
add apns
allow edit of default apn
allow edit of tether apn
add 3G
add ipv4 option (and actually work)
proper icons (E, 3G, H and 4G)
all network modes visible (probably not needed but added anyway)
TETHER BROKE FOR NOW
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A NANDROID BEFORE YOU FLASH (works for me might not for you)
THIS REPLACES THE BUILD.PROP SO ANY PREVIOUS BUILD PROP MODIFICATIONS WILL BE LOST USE WITH CAUTION
If you want to use this with your modified build prop check back in a few days or take a look at the build prop inside the zip.
Reboot into twrp
Install apn_mod.zip
Wipe cache/dalvik (do not skip this)
Reboot system
Tell me if you get stuck in 3g I think I fixed that bug but not 100% sure (temp fix: open network mode and select GSM/WCDMA/LTE)

Honestly if you need to ask you probably wont benefit from it. But you can change the default tether apn to fast instead of pcweb + 3g + mega apn pack. I need ipv4 for my vpn to work properly and not leak my ip but there are lots of reasons to use ipv4 instead of ipv6.
This is awesome. could you possibly add lte/wcdma to the network modes? I can get the option in the hidden menu through the dialer, would love an option for it in the network mode menu.

When Roaming IPV6 doesn't work that well. I had to create another APN so I could connect to the roaming network. Even that was a little finicky. This will come in handy when going to Wyoming to visit the Family.

Probably not unless you are only seeing 2g and 4g lte if that is so you will see e/3g/lte after flashing this. but you can just go in the build prop and edit that in. I will try to update the op tonight with details but probably wont get to it until tomorrow. I guess if you already see e/3g/4g you will get a lot of apns from around the world with this package.
*Edit*
can you get ipv4 apn to work properly with this phone on att? I dont mean ipv4/ipv6 but the real ipv4? if not that would be another benefit for you if you care for ipv4.
It shows ipv4 in the APN, but I never see 3g, just LTE, 4g, and a couple times 2g.

yeah then you would only be getting apns from this. If you are interested in that I'm going to make a apn only package tomorrow for the zone people.

sorry didn't see you don't get 3G if this phone supports that band (I think it does) you should get 3g from this.

but that's just a simple build prob edit Ill have that in the op tomorrow
So this actually changes the tethering APN for the stock tethering app?
Does it also replace framework-res then?

This should help out with VPN and torrents. Checking it out now!
Does this removes the 5GB cap of tether use on T-Mobile ?
Thanks
VPN works now, that's awesome. Still not able to download torrents though, oh well. Nice work!
Hay boss do you have to make the changes to the build.prop for this to work? Reason is it cause poor signal and 4G to drop in and out. At least it does on my device. Had the same problem with those edits on the G2.

If you can get your tethering to work with the fast.t-mobile.com APN, data will not be counted as tethered data.

No 3G bug since I flashed this last night.
Last night I noticed my tether is broken, but I didn't know why. My computer will not connect to the hotspot and will complain that the signal is low.
I did some debugging and found this:
I/hostapd ( 3179): wlan0: AP-STA-MAX-REACHED
The phone is not allowing the client to connect because it thinks the max has been reached. It's not a build.prop thing, I couldn't find it there.
Doing some more digging, I found that the hostapd.conf file that is generated when the hotspot is on (/data/misc/wifi/hostapd.conf) has max_num_sta=0 even though I have set it to 8 on the Settings Menu. I have changed the settings to something else and this always comes up as 0.
I also see some errors about some config files not being setup properly:
Code:
E/hostapd (31402): Configuration file: /data/misc/wifi/hostapd.conf
E/hostapd (31402): Invalid MAC address '/data/misc/wifi/hostapd.accept' at line 1 in '/data/misc/wifi/hostapd.accept'
E/hostapd (31402): Line 15: Failed to hostapd_config_read_maclist '/data/misc/wifi/hostapd.accept' at config_file.c
Not sure where this config_file.c is, probably in the code of the hostapd binary.
I don't think I had seen hostapd being used in the stock tethering, but I wasn't really looking for it when debugging previously.

The stock firmware has a hidden tethering APN, which is pcweb.tmobile.com. Using this zip allows you to change the tethering APN. If that one is configured as fast, then you should be good to go. Is your tethering working with this patch? Mine isn't

So I just got the phone yesterday, and I noticed that data on it didn't work, but calling and texting did. My data plan is under Rogers, so I went to a Rogers Wireless store, and they couldn't make data work, as it apparently couldn't connect to their APN. I was wondering if this was a software issue, where it wouldn't accept an APN from any service provider, or if the phone just doesn't work with Roger's data specifically?
Also, if anyone in BC has gotten the data working on their Red Magic 5G, how did you do that, and what's your service provider?
Try again. Im on Videotron in Quebec, took me several tries to finally to get to save the apn. Roaming data for Videotron is on Rogers network. Tested and working in Ontario.
Although, carriers in BC might use other lte bands. ?
Working without any hassle or need to setup the APN configuration with Public Mobile on their LTE network.
There were some mentioning the APN setup page isn't clear, especially is you're using dark mode.
Rogers APN settings should be readily available so you can edit/input yourself.

You need to use an app called MyNewAPN to add the APN settings. For whatever reason you can't do it through the APN menu.
