U705AA Att Radiant - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I am inquiring for information on what is necessary to make my hotspot active. What has taken place is that I have service with att and when I changed my plan to unlimited talk,text, and data they disabled me from using my hotspot. I thought by unlocking my phone that it would inable their control from my device but it didn't. So I am looking for help in order to take back control of my device

NEW Settings for Cricket Android Plan??

as you all know we all had to put in our own custom settings and iptables into our android phones to get cricket working on our phones allowing us to access the marcket, internet, and apps.
it involves using autostart, u2nl, and replacing the APN's.
now all of that is to route all traffic trough the cricket proxy which only allows access to the internet trough port 8080.
but NOW as you all may know cricket offers an android phone plan which gives you unlocked 3G speed (yes my speed went up a little bit once i got the plan, to about 70KB/s) but i think it's not fully unlocked because i have all these things being routed trough their old proxy servers...
so does anyone know the new settings to configure your android phone with the cricket android plan?
supposedly on the plan description it says everything works, apps, market, everything!
I too am looking for these settings since I have purchased a Droid Eris and flashed new rom and put in most of the old settings for Cricket. If anyone has the Rio or Ascend that is on Cricket Android plan, hopefully they could list settings needed to make this work. I have the Android plan but the local shop wants to charge $45 to "check" my settings to make it work. Please help.

AT&T branded/unbranded device with unlimited/2gb Data

There are a couple apps that i am curious about using that the samsung focus normally dont use. The apps are Network Profile, and Wireless manager that are from samsung. I am thinking that the reason i cant use these apps are because my device is branded to AT&T and have a contract with them. There is another app that i also have called Debrander that takes the device off AT&T.
What i am thinking is if the Network Profile and Wireless Manager would work if device was unbranded? I also have been watching my data plan and usage after tricking AT&T by Switching devices and giving them the IMEI number off my other device, my LG-VU. I have been on the unlimited plan with the focus for about 3 weeks now and still hasn't been detected.
I have switched the IMEI to the LG-VU but still am using the Focus and have dialed *3282# and it comes back that my old data "2gb" has been deactivated and shows how much data has been used with the unlimited data plan.
So i Debranded my device from AT&T and it still dont allow me to use either one of those apps. Would it help in any way to be able to use these apps to keep from being detected when using the Internet Sharing feature that i have added to my device? Maybe some other registry hacks, or modifying the Network Profile and Wireless Manager xaps so they would work?

[Q] After SIM Unlock, Tethering and Mobile Hotspot not Working

Hi,
I bought a Samsung Note 2 from T-mobile last year with the tethering service (paid). The tethering and mobile hotspot worked fine.
Now, I am in Asia, and so I requested for a SIM unlock code from T-mobile, and it doesn't work; even T-mobile gave up and asked me to pay one of those unlock companies to unlock, and then T-mobile will reimburse.
After researching online, most unlock companies require to revert back to T-mobile factory Android 4.1.1 ROM.
Then, I did so. But rather than paying for someone to unlock for me, I followed the instruction of some online post to bring up the debug screen to run "network initialliz" (right, weird spelling).
I successfully unlocked my phone to use a local SIM card; then, I did the software upgrade through the "about device" screen to Android 4.1.2; but then I am not able to use tethering and mobile hotspot.
When I check tethering, it just unchecks itself without any error message on the screen.
When I slide to turn on mobile hotspot, it just slides back to "off".
I have done factory reset, and wiping cache from the recovery screen. Nothing works.
Then, I brought my phone to the carrier shop to check the APN settings, and it is correct because the sale guy had a Note 2 with the same setting and it worked for him.
Then, I took my SIM card to try on my sister's S3, and both tethering and mobile hotspot work.
Any idea how I can fix it without rooting?
I don't mind doing something more technical (as I worked as a software engineer for a phone manufacturer before...flashing hundreds of phones there).
If I post at the wrong place, I apologize; and please let me know where to post.
Thanks in advance.
I have similar experiences. I use an app like Hotspot Control or Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot to enable it while I am traveling.

Thanks for your confirmation.
Did you unlock your phone through the hidden debug menu? Or an unlock company? Or with the unlock code from T-mobile?
T-mobile said that the way I unlocked "might" not unlock "deep enough".

TMO $10 Data Match Plan on M8 - Doesn't work apparently - Help!

Just got my new TMO M8 direct from HTC and I love it..... except for one problem which is not exclusive to this phone but I've searched everywhere and can't find a solution. Since this is not my every day phone I don't need a regular phone & texting plan. I only need a data plan... so I signed up for T Mobile's $10 data match plan which gives me 5GB/mo.... seemed like a great idea except apparently TMO doesn't allow smartphone devices to use this plan only tablets or hotspots. I've searched and searched and tried every combination of APN's but none of them work... when I'm changing the apn settings either data is totally disconnected or when it connects and I try a browser it prompts me to "Sign into Network" and sends me to the "upsell" site. Is there any way to spoof a tablet or hotspot? I know there are browser plugins that change the user agent but this seems to be happening on a system level. Is it possible to edit a system database entry, etc? Any help to point me in the right direction would be appreciated.

You're not going to be able to trick the carrier into thinking you're using another device. Continually attempting to do so also will get you flagged and you may come under scrutiny with the carrier so I'd suggest you pay for a rate plan like the rest of the android community, or utilize WiFi hotspots as much as possible.

I am paying for a rate plan... for 5 devices which are full unlimited plans but for this one I only need data.

Enable WiFi Tethering on the device you use as your primary phone and let your data only devices utilize it's unlimited data plan. That way, you don't have to pay for anything for your data only device.

Sprint Note 10+ Can't add APN or edit

hello everyone I am new to the forum so any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a note 10 plus with sprint. I am trying to add a new APN so I can use unlimited free hotspot. All the apn's are greyed out and I can't reset to default or add a new apn. What can I do to fix this or is there any way to fix it??? I recently upgraded from a note 9 and I could click to the left of the blue circle and it would allow me to edit the settings but it doesn't work anymore on this phone and I'm assuming when it went from Android 9 to Android 10 is when it stopped working all together. Has anyone figured out how to do something with it that doesn't require the phone being rooted??

Unless things have changed (as far as I know they haven't) if you have one of the unlimited data plans (which is pretty much all they have) then you already have unlimited hotspot data.
The unlimited data plans they have offer a set amount hotspot data measured in gigs at full LTE speeds. After that your hotspot speeds are reduced until your next billing cycle. Because it is unlimited there is no need to use some form of "trick" to get something that is already included with the plan they offer.
If for some reason the hotspot isn't working and it is supposed to be included in your plan then contact sprint and make sure your account (and phone) are provisioned for the service.
Now if by chance your trying to sneak one past sprint and get unlimited high speed hotspot data that was not included in the plan you agreed too... Then I would recommend you reconsider. While it can be argued that this can be considered theft, it would be most definitely an intentional, blatant and willful breach of your agreement that you entered into with Sprint.
