Hey guys,
Im having a hard time figuring out why I cant get ICS working with my AT&T data plan. When in the ICS window, I select usb or bluetooth, then medianet, and hit connect. I immediately get an error "cannot connect for unknown reason". I cant sem to find a solution this problem. Can those of you on AT&T that have ICS working tell me what data plan youre on and what settings you have in connections? Thanks for all your help!!
I am on Medianet Personal Unlimited, the $39.99 package. Works like a charm, did you select USB and medianet as the internet connection method? I think by default it selects At&T GPRS as the connection method.
Yeah, I tried both available connections, medianet and ATT ISP, and on USB and bluetooth, still get the same error....I cant figure this out..How is your medianet connection setup (server, username, proxy)? Thanks for your help.

Well, it shouldn't be a network connection setting on the device because whether you have the ATT or HTC ROM installed it automatically sets everything up just fine.
Where are you getting this error, on the phone or the computer? What OS are you running on your computer? Any other info with that error? Are you running the stock ATT ROM, or HTC ROM? Have you installed any third party apps?
Give us some more info so we can be of better help.
(I'm using MediaNet without a problem via USB and bluetooth, with and without the proxy)
OK, first off, the phone is not connected to to the pc when this happens, since I am trying to get it to work as a wifi AP. Phone is running stock AT&T ROM. I go into ICS window, select Bluetooth PAN and MediaNet, click connect, it says "need to activate bluetooth (which it does)and then immediately get the error, it doesnt even try and connect. I've installed 3rd party apps, but nothing that should interfere with data connection. Am I missing a step?

Do you mean that you're looking to use Internet Sharing over WiFi rather than Bluetooth/USB? If so, how, since that's not a valid "target" for either selection box? I suspect there's a hack involved here that might be your issue.
select Bluetooth PAN and MediaNet

Do you have any partnerships established with a PC? Maybe the error you're getting is related to that. Mine fires off a message about entering discovery mode whenever I launch it when Bluetooth is enabled.
and then immediately get the error

The only time I get the "Cannot Connect for an Unknown reason" error is because I'm going after isp.cingular. I'd recommend re-running Connection Setup from Settings-Connections to see if in your explorations you've somehow damaged the Media Net configuration. To me, it sounds like you've got an issue on that end. For example - the Media Net connection doesn't appear as a "real" connection on my TyTN II when I hit Settings-Connections- Manage Existing. But it is selectable from the pull down under the Advanced tab-Select Networks. If I don't replace "The Internet" there, I'll get the error sometimes.

Yes, there is a sharing over WiFi hack posted, just need to make a registry change and point Bluetooth PAN to your WiFi adapter. But even before I make that change, I stll get the error

I have a BT partnership which works fine.

My MediaNet connection is wap.cingular and otherwise works fine.
When you go to HKLM\Comm\ConnectionSharing\PrivateInterface in your registry, what value do you show there? I keep changing mine to BTPAN1, but when everytime I go back into the registry, it shows up with no value at all (deletes the BTPAN1). Could this be it?
I don't know what I did, but for some reason, I am getting no phone service, my calendar and contacts are unavailable, I can't retrieve email from the exchange server (i get a message that there was an error syncing) and my device won't sync with my computer. I can still connect to the internet without a problem.
When I go to the phone settings and click on "find network" I get a diaologue box that says "registering on the network", but it only lasts a few seconds and nothing happens. Does anyone have any ideas?
Edit: i am using the Tilt rom and I have AT&T service
Every once and a while I'll get this error, but then out of the blue it will connect and I won't have any problems with it for good period of time.
Seems when I connect to Active Sync it messes with my connection settings and then it'll give me the "Error Synchronizing" message.
Then it pops up with "Cannot connect with current connection settings"
it could be a E/2g/3g thing (if you are in the US). At home I only get E if I'm lucky and I cannot sync with the same error. But as soon as I leave I can connect with no issue. Sorry if this is no help and good luck
Connects fine while on wifi, but error message while on 3g. I imagine its probably something i did when i first got the phone, not allowing internet access if not on wifi to save data. If i did, can't find any way to change it? Any help, thanks!

Hi guys,
This is rather strange; I've used my HTC One to tether its 3G to my laptop several times, but it suddenly stopped working. My MacBook can recognize the network and even connect to it (sort of) but it says "no internet connection". Also, the WiFi direct apps also have stopped working (I'm guessing the issue might be related). I used to use an app called "Flash Transfer". I've tried several different apps from the Play store, none of them work. It just says "Connecting" and the finally gives up and fails.
To my recollection, I haven't changed anything on my phone. Any help? It's really irritating. Thanks!
I have this issue though mine has never worked. I did the setup, my Mac can see the SSID, it asks for password, seems to authenticate. But no internet. I have also tried this with an iPad. I do the same exact thing with my wife's Galaxy S3 and it works perfectly. Any ideas out there?
