Ok so the data on my phone works (i can connect to anything on my phone using LTE) however the minute i throw on the hotspot, no connection. My line is provisioned correctly as i have checked many times. For some reason it just wont connect to the data network when the hotspot it on..... i threw my sim in another VIVID and it worked fine. i know were having LTE network issues but WTF?
If you actually have it provisionsed correctly, (purchased LTE tether) why not just call 611?

Obviously he doesn't want to pay, that's why he's asking.

My Incredible S has problems accessing internet using 2G/Edge/GPRS data plan.
The connection is established and I get the 'E' sign for Edge connectivity, but internet doesn't work in all the applications (data is only sending, but not receiving, down arrow in E is not blinking)
This happens mainly when I am roaming. But I have another android phone, Samsung Galaxy Spica i5700, which works fine in all places even while roaming, with the same connection/sim.
I enabled all the Mobile Networks setting related to roaming and restarted the device, but it didn't help.
Also, I tried doing a factory reset of the handset, but it didn't help, the same problem of no internet still exists !!
I don't know if this is a defect in my mobile or a general hardware/software issue with this model. I have already raised a case with HTC and I am thinking of contacting the service center for a repair/replacement of the device.
Does anybody has similar connectivity issues with 2G ?
I'm having the same issue. My EDGE works fine in chandigarh,INdia, but when I go on Roaming to delhi, it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't . I even sent a mail to HTC regarding this issue. The reply I got stated that it might be issue with the carrier.
Yes, have same problem with gprs, very flaky

I find the phone takes ages finding signal in general when i go from somewhere I've had none at. I'm talking 5 minutes in places I had signal straight away on my hero. Same network

Same issue here and it is not about roaming. I'm on my "home" network - O2 in Prague, Czech Republic. When phone is in 3G/2G mode all is fine (it is using 3G conection). When I switch to 2G only I have this issue. Sometimes immediately, sometimes it works for usualy very short time so I'm able to synchronize e.g. weather and then it hangs. No data conection anymore and one arrow next to ''E" symbol is active for long time like if phone is trying to send data. For sure it is not about network because my older phone works fine.
I have same issue. Edge and gprs is not working.
Unfortunately in my neighborhood poor 3g coverage.
On older phone (HTC Tatoo) with same sim card edge works fine. HTC support advised me to change sim card, but it didn't help.
And also IS frequently reboots and can't boot up to the last with back cover on, but only start cyclical reboots.

Same fluctuations

Perhaps someone who knows how, could set up a thread with a poll, to see how many experience data problems on gprs verses those who have no problem with gprs data. If its a lot of people it will help with a case to HTC customer supports ?

I have the same issue too. I,m on a very stable edge here in Trondheim, Norway, and sometimes it takes ages to connect to edge and sometimes not works at all, just saying "trying to connect" over and over in the settings-window.
To you with the reboot-issue when back-cover is off: This is due to the fact that the mobile-antenna for the device actually sits in the battery-cover on the backside. So when you take off the cover the Incredible S is without antenna

I got my phone replaced through the service center and the problem is not there in the new phone ! It is working fine in all places and during roaming as well. So the problem I had was a device manufacturing issue. HTC Customer care was very prompt and I am glad the issue was resolved.
I asked HTC about this problem and they gave me a very convenient step by step method to set up APNs in my country and all that. I had very high hopes... but i still have that E with the blinking up-arrow and the not-blinking down-arrow.
No internet connection unless I use the Pass-through connection. A solution would be very much appreciated.
So should I take it that there are no solutions to this problem? Except for replacing the phone? That's rather sad...
This is probably unrelated but I had issues with my phone getting a solid 3g connection until I changed the settings to wcdma only instead of auto. Perhaps you can try setting it to gsm only?

Is Raider4G of Rogers/BELL SimUnlock(ed) and are those who use on other careers?
In that case, can Wifi Hotspot be used?
Although I am SIM UNLOCK and using Vivid of AT & T, Wifi Hotspot cannot turn ON in APN of Docomo.
I think that APN except Cinglar cannot use Vivid.
I think that I will buy Raider4G if Wifi Hotspot is effectively made on other careers Raider4G.
If there are those who know if you please, please let me know.
Hotspot works with raider. Using mine with at&t.
I am looking at adding the wifi hotspot service to my phone.
I'm wondering if anybody uses it and what your experiences are?
Any things I should watch out for?
A salesman at Best Buy told me that while hotspot is running I can't make or receive phone calls, is this true?
I should clarify, I'm asking about the Verizon mobile hotspot service added to my account. I am not asking about the hacks to steal the service. I understand the reasons others use them, it's just not for me. Whether I like their rules or not, it's Verizon's network so I'm going to play by the rules.
EDIT: it looks like I have the primary answer I was concerned about, you can still make and receive calls while using the hotspot.
I have the 4g LTE hotspot on my Galaxy Nexus. Most of the time when I'm using it, I'm in 3g mode. If a call comes in, it suspends the internet connection until the call is over. I've never tried making a call while using the hotspot, and I'm not sure what would happen when using the hotspot in 4g LTE mode. Since voice calls don't use 4g LTE, I don't see why it wouldn't allow voice calls while using 4g LTE hotspot.

That's pretty much what I expected, what the tech was telling me didn't make sense. It did have just enough plausibility to it though as a carry over from the 3g days when they couldn't do voice and data at the same time.

Thanks, I thought that was one of the draws of lte was being able to have data and voice at the same time.
I'm starting to think this is a viable option as our home internet connection, dropped Comcast a last fall and been using just out phones. It has been working but finding more and more times where I need to get my computer online.

When you are using it are you running on battery or plugged in?
If you're running plugged in does it have the power to run like that indefinitely or does it still drain your battery?
Hello everyone. Been wrestling with this all day. I purchased a barely used samsung galaxy tab 8.9 AT&T 4G LTE. It works fine with wifi, but I want to use it on my worksite where there is decent signal, but no wifi. Bought an AT&T SIM card, and put it in. I have full bars (signal), but no internet access. I have packet data turned off, as some forums have indicated this could fix it, but to no avail. With wifi turned off, the tablet status still says mobile network disconnected. Anyone have any ideas of what I could try? Thanks for any help.
EDIT: With packet data turned on, AT&T's data tracking widget says initializing, then goes to connection failed. With packet data off, it shows appropriate data usage (0mb at this point) and displays signal, but it still says no internet connection.
Did you get the right plan provisioned for the SIM? The Tab 8.9 is configured to use the "Broadband" APN by default so if you're not provisioned for that it won't work.
You need a data plan and a lte sim.

I recently got a sim unlocked gs4active (i537). I rooted the device and used app quarantine to quarantine the files so that I can create a hotspot using my 4g signal. that process worked well. however since I got the fone I am unable to use any internet apps (eg google play fb twitter ) using my 4g signal. when using wifi these apps works as it should, however when using my 4g signal I always get the no connection error message. it should be noted that when using 4g signal I am able to use wats app and viber to chat but I cant send/ receive any sort of media (eg photos and music). can some lend some assistance on whats wrong here
Are you sure your apn's settings are ok? Are you talking about using a 4g lte network or a 3g network? I'm probably in the same situation as you since I have a sim unlocked sgh i537 and I'm using hspa with any issues.

Have you tried the obvious? Unquarantine those files and see if it works then - that way we'll know what end to start trouble-shooting in.
Good luck!

I was experiencing this problem before I quarantine the tethering provision file so I highly doubt quarantining this file was the cause of this problem
just to be sure I just tried un quarantining the file to see if it works ...... and it doesnt
try this :
go to settings- more networks- mobile networks- Access Point Names- then hit menu , then- reset to default.
and make sure your Mobile Data on phone is enabled.
wow!!! this works!!
thanks a lot ... now I have a perfectly working s4 active
