I flashed a new ROM (based on 2.03) and could no longer find a way to set up my GPRS/EDGE connection. With the old ROM, the pop-up would show up and it'll automatically download the settings. Now with the new ROM, there's no connection pop-up and I have no idea where to go to set up. Can anyone tell me where to go to set it up? I'm with AT&T.
Connection setup....
Start
Settings
Connections tab
Connection Setup
If this program has been removed by the ROM cooker (highly unlikely), you'll have to enter your settings manually.
Go to Phone, Menu, Options, then go through the tabs and enter the required info for each setting. You can get your settings easily by searching Google.
I'm using CT6.3HDLite and Chris indeed removed it. No worries though as i found the WAP setting online and was able to set it up.
I tried a few searches in this forum and came up empty...but is there a way to change the name that the N1 identifies itself as to your Wi-Fi network? E.g. "Randy's Nexus One" or something like that?
Thanks in advance,
Randy
Yes go to portable hot spot setting then go to configure then advanced and you can change it to whatever u like

We're probably using different Nexus Ones, because on mine there is no "portable hot spot" settings. FroYo? Please elaborate.
For Eclair there's no easy way. I did something like this some time ago:

I hope FroYo added the option to do it easily...

I don't think OP's talking about the N1 as a portable hotspot... rather the device id/name a wireless router picks up when the N1 connects to the router...
I think OP is asking if it's possible to change the DHCP name of the phone
I'd like to know how to change my phone's hostname too.
Well, there are 2 ways to change the phone hostname... but both require root...
1. init.rc way
in init.rc, look for
Code:
on boot
# basic network init
ifup lo
hostname localhost
domainname localdomain
changing hostname to you desired name will change the phone hostname. So you change would look something like this...
Code:
on boot
# basic network init
ifup lo
hostname CRAiG
domainname localdomain
But this process involves building a boot.img with the new init.rc and flashing that boot.img
2. Using an init script in a mod like CM
As in a regular linux system, the following line will allow you to change you hostname without flashing a boot.img
Code:
echo CRAiG > /proc/sys/kernel/hostname
In CM, you can add this line to an init.d script like 01sysctl or 20userinit in /system/etc/init.d
And yeah, this changes the device name on your router, but you might have to delete the existing DHCP lease...

It shows that you didn't try it. You can't put it before 04 script, since the services aren't up yet, and it won't change a thing. It has to be after 05 - that's why it's best done through 20userinit or the script that it calls.
To clarify my question...
No, not using N1 as a hotspot, but how my wi-fi router sees my n1 while my N1 is a wi-fi client to it.

I did try it and I have it working with the change in 01sysctl... and you don't need services up and running to change ur hostname!!!!!
@rmagruder... what I said above with allow you to change how ur wifi router see ur n1
Hostname is for network interface. At least one (localhost) needs to be started for it to work. If there is any additional interface starting - it can change the settings during initialization, which is what's probably happening, at least on my Nexus w/ CM5.0.6. Tested with 01sysctl and it fails, as I wrote in the thread I linked above.
OK, this took a lot of trial and error, some bravery on my part, and SEVERAL calls to AT&T, but I finally got it working!* I am not a Dev anywhere CLOSE to the likes of DG, but I do have extensive knowledge of hacking mobile devices in general, GSM networks, CS/PS infrastructure, and industry experience from the NOC side of several MSOs (aka ISPs), so I tackled this problem from a "what would I implement if I were AT&T and wanted to force a tethering package on subscribers?" Point of view, and worked backwards from there.
Many have tried the solution already posted, and I give credit to the poster of that original "fix" while respectfully pointing out that using this "fix" accomplished AT&T deleting my data package twice, and provisioning a tethering plan automatically once, all automatically done by the system. This was not the solution I was looking for.
So, without further introductions/banter on my part, here is the step-by-step... I will try to keep explanations to a minimum for now, if they are asked for I will put them in post #2.
*Prerequisites: ROOT
*Tools required: Root Explorer, SQLite Editor (both available in market, yes they are paid apps but they are WORTH EVERY PENNY!)
----note: this can also be accomplished using adb and a sqlite database editor on your pc, but requires many, many more steps, and won't work after reboot unless you have a working busybox and can successfully chown/chmod the .db file after you copy it back to the device, and even then I still had trouble with it after reboot, so... I had success with these paid apps, so I'm writing the tutorial assuming you have them. If there is enough demand I'll write an alternate tutorial on how to do this using free tools.
*******
++++++++++++ Edited, now shorter! Thanks to all for testing these settings, the new steps are confirmed working!
*(if you used the steps prior to my editing them, you're good, your settings will work fine, the changes reflect a different, shorter way to do this)
1) Create a NEW access point setting using the following settings: (SETTINGS>WIRELESS AND NETWORKS>MOBILE NETWORKS>ACCESS POINT NAMES> {press menu} NEW APN
Name: whatever you like here, I use att
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy:
Port:
Username:
Password:
Server:
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication Type:
APN Type: default,agps,fota,supl,fota,tether,mms
(all settings I left blank, leave blank, make sure you press menu, save to save)</br>
2) Enable Airplane Mode
(hold power button for three seconds, select Airplane Mode)
3) Open Root Explorer
4) Navigate to: /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/
5) Click on "telephony.db"** (this should open the db using SQLite Editor)
6) Select "carriers"
7) You should see a long list of APN settings for various carriers, the ones you are interested in are rows 4, 6, and 7. Scroll ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT and the last column should be labeled "preloaded." You will notice that each is labeled "true" press and hold the word "true" in row 4 and select "Edit Field" from the pop up menu. Change the "true" to "false" and click "Save". Repeat this step for rows 6 and 7.
7b) Edit the type field of row 6. Right now the field says "tether". Change it so that it says "default,agps,fota,supl,fota,tether"
7c) Change the APN field in row 6 from BROADBAND to wap.cingular
8) Press back twice to close the SQLite editor and you should be back in Root Explorer. Close Root Explorer.
9) Disable Airplane Mode
10) Go back to the list of APNs you saw in step 1. You should see that the "locked padlock" is now unlocked on the preloaded APNs named AT&T US, AT&T US HSDPA, and AT&T TETHER. You now need to edit the one labeled AT&T TETHER. Change the following settings:
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy:
Proxy port:
APN type:
Press menu, save.
11) Select the radio button for the APN you created in step one. AT&T Tether.
12) Reboot phone.
13) Enjoy! Mobile Hotspot should now work first time no issues!
Note: (Due to some pre-existing (bug?) in the software, you do need to have wifi turned on BEFORE you enable Mobile Hotspot for it to set up properly. If you forget it will hang until you enable wifi.)
#########################
After staying up all night to figure this out, I have confirmed that using the Webtop without dock MOD combined with mine you CAN use webtop with your 3G/H+ connection!!! No wifi required!
Steps to make this work:
1) Connect Webtop
2) Using the window that allows you to control the regular phone interface, navigate to the ACCESS POINT NAMES menu described in step 1 above.
3) Select the radio button next to "AT&T Tethering"
Done! Open firefox and enjoy!
Credits to Fenny, author of the MOD to enable Webtop without dock!
Also designgears, author of Adeo, which is necessary to run aforesaid MOD!
And to t0dbld, who contributed significantly and led the discussion that resulted in said MOD.

It should, though I personally own neither, and therefore have not tested that particular functionality. There is no way that I am aware of that AT&T SHOULD be able to tell any difference between traffic from tethered devices and traffic from the device itself, so unless they are packet sniffing (illegal for ISPs, somewhat hazy regulation on wireless service providers, but would be a BIG shock to me if they were) or there is something in the actual webtop ubuntu software that would inform AT&T that webtop is being used somehow (also HIGHLY unlikely, as it would be a HUGE invasion of privacy) the answer is YES!
PLEASE if you have access to either of these $$$$$ expensive docks if you wouldn't mind test this for me and report back to confirm that indeed it does allow use without wifi.

I hate that you are probably on final steps, but... You cannot re-create the AT&T Tethering profile manually, as this will break the functionality of the script that Mobile hotspot uses to "Verify" that you have a tethering plan...
Please go to your APN list, and press MENU>Restore Default Settings
Then (sorry) start over from step 1

I can confirm that this works great - you no longer get stuck at "setting up data link" (so no more changing APNs to fix that).
Although, I tried the newly found webtop hack which allows you to just connect the HDMI cable to a TV and run webtop - it does not work without wifi. If you try turning off wifi and use 3g, it says "communicating with ATT to see if webtop something something" and nothing loads.

Good work richhed!
Wifi hotspot works, but it does not seem to work with the hd dock over 3g only with wifi. There must be another check somewhere along the way. Too bad, hopefully we canfigure it out soon though.
I'm using the Atrix in Australia on the 3/Vodafone network, is there a way I can get it to work?

great find on unlocking there crap !! btw if you delete the apn type or the apn all together for the tethering etc you wont have to do the wifi on off thing, you have to do that because sometimes its still defaulting to the apn that is strictly tethering

Yes it does , i would check your settings again , jsut because the blue tethering active comes up does not mean it is tethering an active connection, recheck your settings and try again, working fine here

Nice job! This hack is based on the same principle as the TBH NVRAM tether hack that we released for Droid devices except yours is done by changing the APN in the system and ours is done by changing the Tethered NAI(Network Access Identifier) strings in the NVM because that is where the carrier data authentication components are actually stored in CDMA phones. With GSM all of that is stored in the SIM card itself and is not accessible in the NVM.
The change does functionally the same thing, that being making all data use appear to the network as internal data rather than flagged as an externally tethered device.
Congratulations!
uhm I tried this, when i launch with internal viewer, i cannot edit. but when i try to launch with the db editor, it wont open cuz it says no network connect (since we turned on airplane mode)
EDIT: nvm I needed to download the editor from the market since I didnt have one installed.
Can we delete all of the other APN settings without ill-effect?

Click to collapse
ikenley,
I am less familiar with your network, and I'll also need more information:
1) Are you using a US, AT&T branded Atrix?
2) What are the DEFAULT, working APN(s) for 3/Vodafone "smartphone" data plans?
3) Do these APN(s) require login credentials, and
4) Do they proxy their smartphone data plan
Unfortunately, if the answer to #4 is yes, then the answer is no, it (probably) won't work. Also, if they require a login, it depends on the type.

LOL, I was hoping that you wouldn't say that
Every time I personally tried I couldn't get it to stick on reboot, I think I may have been doing something wrong with the chown or something. Give me a few days I'll keep at it ;-)
BTW, if you have a basic knowledge of adb, and bash or busybox or any linux based command line terminal, basically you follow all steps the same except when you are editing the .db you'll need to copy that file to the sdcard, then to your pc, then edit it, then copy it back to sdcard, then back to /data/data/com.android.provider.telephony/databases/ and THEN you have to use adb shell to chown/chmod the file to the proper settings. I think it may be that the group ownership is changed to sdcard when you move the file... Anyway I'll work on it.

Blatantly ripped off from richhed's thread. I'm a cheap [email protected]$#^&* so I wanted to enable wifi hotspot without paying for apps. Here's how.
I'm writing these instructions for Win7 x64, and assuming that your USB drivers and busybox are working. YMMV. No, I won't help you fix your phone if you brick it, and won't be responsible if it doesn't work for you.
1. Download Superoneclick 1.6.5 for rooting your phone. Your phone needs to be rooted, if you haven't done this yet you need to do it now.
2. Download SQLite database browser on your PC and unzip to some folder. Remember where this is.
3. Plug phone into PC and turn airplane mode on.
4. Open a command prompt as administrator (right-click, open as administrator)
5. Navigate in the command prompt to where your Superoneclick is unzipped (for me, it's in a folder on my desktop)
6. Run 'adb shell'
** note** all commands from step 7 to step 12 are in the ADB shell
7. su (if you rooted in step 1, you may have to allow access, watch your phone as it may ask)
8. mv /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.old
9. chmod 777 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases
10. chmod 664 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.old
11. exit
12. exit
13. in the same command window which your second 'exit' command dropped you to, type 'adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.old ./telephony.db'
14. Run SQLite database browser and open the telephony.db file that you downloaded to the Superoneclick folder in the last step.
15. Click 'browse data' and select table 'Carriers'
16. You should see a long list of APN settings for various carriers, the ones you are interested in are rows 4, 6, and 7. Highlight row 4, named 'AT&T US HSDPA'. Scroll ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT where the title of the last column says "preloaded." Double-click the field that says 'true', and in the resulting dialog box change the "true" to "false" and click "Apply Changes". Repeat this step for rows 6 and 7.
17. Edit the 'type' (3rd last) field of row 6. Right now the field says 'tether'. Double-click and change it so that it says 'default,agps,fota,supl,tether' and apply changes.
18. Change the 'apn' (6th) field in row 6 from 'broadband' to 'wap.cingular' and apply changes.
19. Click 'save' and exit the DB browser.
20. Back in the command window, type 'adb push ./telephony.db /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.new'
21. Run 'adb shell'
** note** all commands from step 22 to step 32 are in the ADB shell
22. su
23. cd /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases
24. su radio
25. cp telephony.new telephony.db
26. chmod 660 telephony.db
27. rm telephony.new
28. exit
29. cd ..
30. chmod 771 databases
31. exit
32. exit
33. Disable airplane mode
34. Go to Settings>Wireless + Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names. Select radio button for AT&T Tether.
35. Reboot phone.
36. Mobile Hotspot will still validate but will turn on when using this APN. You might have to switch APN's after a reboot, I've had to and at least one other user has had to.
If you ever want to revert, we saved the file as /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.old in step 10. Just 'su' and 'cp' that puppy overtop of the existing telephony.db, remembering of course to enable airplane mode.
Not trying to start anything, but theres already a pretty good thread on this bro.

stop linking android-wifi-tether.
Infrastructure AP (what this and richhed's method and others enable) > Adhoc (what android-wifi-tether enables)
Google the differences. Ill give you a couple reasons to start
1) a lot of corporate laptops disable adhoc connections
2) Adhoc only allows WEP - crackable in 30 seconds, a huge security risk. Infrastructure allows WPA2...
so if you dont care about any of those, then yes, android-wifi-tether is fine... and much simpler.

Number 2 is kinda a mute point as if your using your phone to tether i doubt its going to be your primary connection. Also the fact that your not even going to see your phone after about a 100ft for tethering it would be pretty easy to narrow down someone hacking into your wep

Yes. I flashed Motorola Atrix 4G U4_1.5.2 last night, restore my apps with mybackuppro this morning and this was the first thing I tried.
Just loaded it. Didnt have to do jack. Changed SSID, changed encryption. Not letting me change password, wanking the 13 character requirement when I enter a 16 character ASCII password is too short.
But the app worked beautifully. I have tried the other methods, modding db's. That didn't work until I added this below.
Tether without at&t tethering plan: (thanks to Fixter)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=193
after doing this. mobile hotspot is still greyed out in settings. It says 'high speed coverage required'. granted i am on edge with no way to test 3g atm. I am wondering if this is normal and if there is a way to enable the hotspot over edge? (yes i know it would be impractically slow)
Finally got around to doing this and it worked great.
A few corrections to your steps.
Step 3. Plug phone into PC. (I know stupid explanation, but some people may forget.)
Step 15. Select Table 'Carriers'
Step 34. 34. Go to Settings>Wireless + Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names. Select radio button for AT&T Tether.
Finally, I had a ton of APNs listed in my phone. Something like 80. The ATT ones were listed near the bottom. I am not sure if this is because who I purchased my phone from, Walmart, but maybe you should give some description of rows 4,5, and 6 so that people will not get confused. I figured it out fine, but you never know.
Finally, this works in webtop, but it appears that on every reboot of the phone you have to change the APN setting when you first use webtop. It doesnt seem to matter if you are already in tethering, you have toswitch away and then switch back. After you do this once everything works fine until the next reboot.
Thanks again.

It isn't so much someone could access your wifi tether, but more that the data can be captured and easily decrypted. Anything you do over that connection may as well be broadcast for all to see. (Unless you're using https etc for everything)
I use the android-wifi-tether app on bluetooth only, unfortunately it also sucks battery more than the usb port on my mac can supply so the battery depletes in a few hours.
Thank you to the OP for providing a way to enable the built-in tethering.

I am not sure if it made any difference to it working, but as I'm with Telstra (Australia) I added 'default,agps,fota,supl,tether' to the entry for "Telstra Internet" and it works perfectly.
Not sure if this has been beaten to death yet, but do we for sure know that AT&T cannot track this? How are connection speeds?
I've read a few posts expressing concerns about AT&T automatically switching people to the tether/4GB plan (I have the 2GB plan), and also slow (<1mbit) download speeds. Can someone shed some light on this?
i think they can tell when we swtich from "phone" to "wap.cingular," it showed a record of me switching between the two. I also looked up my data usage and got 2 reports of usage rather than just one. still my data plan has remained unchanged. this also happened when i would switch out my sim card b/w my windows 7 samsung focus and my dell streak, and att didn't do anything. i figure if they contact me about this i can just say i've been swapping my sim card between phones. don't think they can tell the difference there (may be wrong).
Hello there good people of XDA. I would post this in the viperone thread, but alas I appeR to be relegated to the q&a thread.
Anywho I have a sprint htc one flashed to pageplus, which was a pain but that is another story. I have everything working on the stock rom (text, talk, mms, and data).
For a change I decided to try the viperone rom(since I have a flashed phone I need access to the ## commands which I believe is only possible in sense based roms).
I have everything working in the Viperone rom except Mms. I believe when I flashed the new rom these were set back to sprint default (based off the fact that the RTS/HTTP settings also went back to sprint default).
However, I cannot seem to access the MMSC settings. I can ##data#, advanced, and see the option to select MMSC settings! but clicking it does nothing.
I have re downloaded and re flashed the rom, but this issue is still here. Is this common? Is there a workaround or some other way to edit the MMSC settings that anyone of you know of.
Thanks for you time and help in advance. :laugh:

use an app called apn shortcut to access apn settings and set your page plus apns(if you know them)
Thanks for the reply! I downloaded the program, but even after making a new apn, deleting the old apn, I can't seem to get mms. Going the the messaging app, it appears that the phone is still trying to use the sprint mms servers. I'll look for other ways to change the apn and come back with what I find.
Ok, I attempted to try a couple of programs to manually change my apn, but to no avail. If I were to guess, maybe they are not cdma compatable due to the spc lockout. A spc backup app seemed rather promising (backup the apn on the stock rom where I could edit the apn and restore it on the viperone rom) but for some reason when I made it a system app it got deleted on reboot. I also saw some scripts that could be run on twrp, but none for a verizon apn (what pageplus uses). I finally gave up and decided to use a messaging app that lets me manually configure the apn, not a true fix but it is a workaround.

SOrry to thread jack but how did you get pageplus working with data? I've got everything working except for data. Not even 1x works.

Yeah, that's the part that gave me a pain too. The guide by ryoung does work, probably the one you used to initially flash it:

The part that was giving me trouble was having the settings for mobile ip "stick"
I would make the changes and write, but when I read the phone a sin, it would still be the sprint settings
What I wound up doing was writing the data multiple times until it stuck, something like:
13. Click on Mobile IP Tab and enter:
DS QcMIP: PrefMobileIP
Profile Settings:
Active profile: 0
Number of Profiles: 1
Registration settings:
Retries count: 2
Pre-Reg timeout: 30
Retries interval: ms1750
settings:
2002 BIS MN HA AUTH: Put a check mark
Domant handoff: Put a check mark
PRQ IF Traffic:
Click write 4 times with nam1 and 4 times with nam 2
Under profile column:
Select the first bubble and make active (Right click, enable profile)
Make sure all other profiles are Disabled (Righ click, Disable profile)
Selected profile settings:
*** Make sure profile 1 bubble is BLUE****
Current User Profile

Click write current profile 4 times in nam1 and 4 times in nam2
Then click the other write button 4 times in nam1 and 4 times in nam2
Finally, hit the read button and your values should be edited ( only the hass and aaass will be gone which I guess is normal, I think you have to rewrite them every time you read the profile), it they are back again to the sprint settings, just try writing again. This is what went wrong with mine, but I don't know if you have a different problem.
One other thing, when you enter the ha and aaa shared secret, don't have the hex box checked, you can write vzw, then hit the check to turn it into hex, but if you initially have it checked I don't think it writes to the profile.
I think just that would have worked for me, but I did have a few deviations from his guide because I was trying a few things to get my data to work, and I'll just let you know for completeness.
I actiually had profile 0 And 1 active with the same information since it seemed to be wanting to continually revert to profile 1, though I think this is from my settings not wanting to stick.
Something like
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I also copied the settings from the guy on page 3

ALL THREE BOXES IN VOCODER SECTION CHECKED
ALL THREE OPTIONS BELOW THAT SET TO EVRC
Also, when on my phone when I hit the mobile data tab I set it to cdma only.
In the end I don't think I needed to do those changes, but my problem was really not the settings sticking. Writing multiple times with nam1 and 2 seemed to work.
