The title really says it all - If I use a custom ROM like Cognition for example, do I lose the ability to freely use the ~20,000 (their claim) at&t wifi hotspots? I believe the stock ROM has wifi access info hard coded - Not sure if ROM creators managed to port that over... THanks.
Yes You do lose it.
Try the att account app. There is an option to use att wifi. I have not tried it.

That sucks - Does anyone know if this is something that's being worked on? I guess I have to stick to stock, root it and use titanium bkup to remove as much at&t bloat as is safely possible...

Thanks for the option but I don't think I can - The phone is associated with a corporate account... :-(

How come I was able to use it at Starschmucks the other day? I'll have to test it again though next time I go.
I don't have the app on my phone (rooted, bloatware removed, etc.).
I have used at&t hotspots with no issues. I simply connect to the available wireless network.

No, you don't.
With the ATT hotspot thing I believe you avoid having to go through the log-in page where you agree to their terms and conditions. But you can absolutely log on. You just have to do that first.

Try froyo mms fix. It's on here somewhere, just search for it
Not sure then. I had a huge problem with Handcent so I switched to Chomp. It works great. Maybe try using that one or GoSMS and see if the problem persists.
Which carrier are you on? I bet it's not Sprint.
You might be missing the required APN's
Try flashing the attachment, it fixed my MMS problem that you have on Alltel.
Also I peeked in the file and it has more APN's than just for Alltel.
So I don't think it will hurt to try it
Enjoy! and let me know if it works!

What are you talking about? It's meant for our phones..
All it is is the apn list for Froyo named Alltel fix.

Not rooting a company phone, it is my phone but i connect to my work with it for emails, contacts, etc... but to take your method of thinking... Perhaps we should'nt root our phones at all since verizon does not approve of it....

I don't think he is saying that we shouldn't root our phones because companies disapprove. I think he is saying, don't root your phone if you want that particular app to work without issue....
I'm curious to know how the app checks whether the device is rooted. I see similar behavior with the new Android Market on my rooted Nook Color; Movies just don't show up, but I don't get a SuperUser request, or anything indicating the app is checking for the ability to gain root.

Are you sure its rooted? Rooted? Rooted?
I bet that the app can scan the installed apps and check for SU. I would check the permissions of the app and see if there is anything odd. If your running CM7 i thought a little while back they introduced the ability to block permissions for apps. Might start there.

Hello community,
I have searched and tried and done everything possible. I am currently a new HTC One user. Just bought a TMO USA version of the device. I have rooted the device also. Still on the stock rom with bulletproof kernel btw. Is there an easy method to unlock the APN's while on stock rooted rom? Or can someone suggest a good Rom that still is stock but with unlocked APNs?
THanks and thanks will be given to any suggestions.

Are you talking about WiFi tethering?
If so you can Google then download fdroid then do a search for WiFi tether since you are rooted.
It allows me to tether my laptop or tablet on trips.

go to play store and download a wifi tether app. the one i use is called wifi tether for root users by Muller, Lemons, Buxton. It works flawless .. the only thing is that only pc's can use the net .... you won't be able to connect any cellphone to your phone.
Thanks so much fellas but I finally figured it out last night. I downloaded APNMANAGER from play store and was able to remove the hidden "tether" APN that is in the stock ROM since I have root.
I have a unrooted stock g flex and the phone is awesome. The issue I am having though is after the 4.4.2 update my stock messaging app stopped downloading mms messages weather it be pictures or group texts. I have tried multiple add on sms apps and now 90 percent of me texts come in twice in the add on app. Im getting nothing from the stock app just texts come in twice back to back. I have reset apn and networks also cleared data on the stock app and the sms app with reboot to no avail. Ive even uninstalled the extra app and re installed and it still did the same thing. Any body else ran into this on tmobile?

Not sure if it will work being that your phone took the update. But try un rooting the phone, then update thru a computer. Then reroot phone.
Just for future use, before doing stock updates always un root the phone first, back to its factory set up.
Lots of rooted phones have issues do to trying the OTA updates while rooted and more then half the times have issues afterwards cause their rooted OS is missing original software that the update requires.

You seriously don't know how rooting would effect the stock software, if a custom UI or modified OS is placed onto the rooted phone?

Rooting doesn't take away any of the stock software, installing a custom UI and modifying the OS is something completely different from attaining root. Seriously.

And the purpose of gaining root? I doubt its just the purpose of having a rooted phone.
Seriously...... If all you and your little buddy can do is question other people, instead of answering the questions at hand then maybe this isnt the forums for you boys.

It's a work account. I had an htc one before that was also blocked but I was able to go around it with viper rom. With this one is locked.

Doesn't work...
Just FYI, Xposed Framework does not yet work on any LOLLIPOP Samsung Touchwiz roms. It does work on other versions of lollipop though.
