Focus S tied tethering - Samsung Focus S

Hi,
I own a Focus S in the UK but I cannot get Internet sharing working because it's tied to AT&T. Is there a Registry key that can be deleted or modified so it can be used here in the UK please?

assuming you have the device unlocked
search for, download and install WP Root tools and WinTT, make sure WinTT gets root privileges and then in WinTT there is an option to turn on Wifi ICS
you know there is a post I made on this very site telling you want to do, in fact, im fairly sure there are several on this site
Here

Hi,
Thanks for response. I have done this but each time I enable IT it asks me to contact AT&T. There must be a reg key somewhere which does this, but finding it....

Question

I downloaded an app Go SMS and since then I haven't been able to receive multimedia messages I've tried a soft reset if anybody has any other solutions it would be much appritiated

Its in the settings for the app. Inside the ap, hit the capacitive menu button and go to settings... Its either under MMS settings or "important". I believe its the last option. Make sure at the top you are in advanved settings though.

I know exactly the problem you're having because I have the same issue. I normally restart my device but sometimes even that can be hit or miss. I think you may have to contact the GO development team on that issue not your service provider.

Ok sent their development an email, told them my problem, lets see what happens

Custom Rom/Theme?

To make a long story short I once had the HD7 which had many custom roms, then went back to android and now once again coming back to WP7 with the Focus S. Something about the fluidness of WP7 that brought me back .
Anyway I dont see anything on XDA or the interwebs in regards to custom roms and or theming this phone. Is there a good please to read up on what can be done with the Focus S from a customization perspective? I see you can interop unlock but no access to registery edit to actually make it worth while.
What is possible with this phone today?
Sorry if this should have been posted in general.
Thanks!
yuo ayr a dum but!
I'm looking for a custom or unbranded ROM too as AT&T resolutely refuse to push out any updates for the Focus S :-/

[Q] Unlocking Lumia 520

I have a Lumia 520 and am wondering if I should unlock it. I want to know what the negative and positive effects will be of unlocking the device.
Sent from my HTC Explorer using xda premium
First of all, you're in the wrong forum and by a good distance. This is about Windows RT, which is the ARM version of Windows 8; it is not about Windows Phone 8 or any Lumia device.
With that said, by "unlock" do you mean SIM unlock, developer unlock, or something different? SIM unlocking lets you use other cellular networks if you swap SIM cards (many phones already come this way). Developer unlocking lets you install "sideloaded" (not from the store) apps, but there are some pretty severe restrictions.
Err sorry for the wrong forum. I mean dev unlock.

Facepalm. This time the moderator moved it.

There's no inherent downside of dev unlock, aside from the fact that the developer license required to use the unlocking tool typically costs money. However, right now, we don't have a lot of advantages to dev unlock either. People are still working on getting any meaningful homebrew to work. As is, you'd be able to run XAPs that people have not yet published in the store but decided to post here, and... well, that's about it.

Tethering and at&t

I'm trying to bypass at&t block on tethering apps in order to use my plan with my tablet as well. I rooted my phone, but every app i downloaded appears to be blocked from accessing my phone connection by at&t (they charge separately for that "honor").
Any suggestion?
Thanks
Ivan

If you want to use stock ROM, there's a WiFi tether fix in the AT&T Development forum.

Both posts found in the AT&T One Development forum. Both on first page and one thread apart. Seems to me like you didn't really bother looking or using the search function. Took me less than two minutes to find the threads and post this reply.
Most others will tell you to search on your own, so you might want to get familiar with using the forum and it's capabilities.

Chromecast for use in UK

I have had a Chromecast delivered to a friend in the US. Before I get it sent over here, would it be best to have him set it up over there and then just use it here or do I need to have it sent to me here in UK in virgin state and sideload the setup apk?
Any advice and links to guides from UK users would be much appreciated.
For now I am really only interested in using YouTube and Chrome on it.

EDIT: Sent a PM. you just install the APK, using your file browser ( I use File expert). follow the set up

Thanks for that. So once I have installed the apk, will future updates get installed OTA automatically or will it recognise it is being used in a region not yet supported?

Your welcome.
I haven't seen My ChromeCast get any updates yet. But I've been to busy to look out for them, sorry it's a poor answear. But I guess if you was to get updates would be OTA, but I imagine there maybe a region issue.
Is there no UK release date yet? Come on, Google. Buck up!

Just a lot of conjecture on whether it will be out before Christmas. It has been out of stock in the US (at least on Amazon) until this last week or so. I would hope they will have learnt something about the demand to be expected and get those warehouses filled up for Santa. But then again the Nexus 4 supply fiasco didn't seem to teach them anything so who knows?
I've had once in UK for a month or so now, bought and shipped from US.
It has auto updated at least three times already.
The only thing that you must watch for is when the chromecast apk updates as the market won't do it for you. But it's always found on the internet

I'm a bit confused. You say it has auto updated 3 times but then you suggest you have to look out for updates on the internet .
He refers to the apk on your device required to initally set the cc up and do things like reset it, Which isn't in UK play store. Easy to find so not an issue.

Hi friends.
I just got my new chromecast and am having some problems. It goes through the app process however when it tries to connect to my virgin media router superhub it fails to connect and prompts me to check my wifi name. Any ideas.
I'm a bit gutted Lol

Better off doing it yourself, as you can then make sure to flash a non-updating ROM onto it. theres no problem setting up entirely in the UK, and everything works fine over here. (with the latest ROM it even sets up as UK in one of the 2 region options.. )

Try changing your wireless channel in the superhub.. I assume the US might not use all the same ones we do over here, might get it working. (just a guess by the way no evidence to support it being correct)

Hi imran_jasper. I'm using it on Virgin Media. If you have Mac address filtering switched on, make sure you add the Mac address of the chromecast. I forgot that at first.
