Those with Tilt...can you get ICS?

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.

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?

[Q] USB Tether APP for Captivate Root Users

Ok Guys,
I got rooted, I installed Wireless Tether App for Root Users.
On my personal Laptop, I can connect to the WiFi Hotspot. Works Great!!
On my Work Laptop, I cannot connect to the same WiFi Hotspot because..
"Your network administrator has blocked you from connecting to this network".
I was told that AdHoc WiFi networks are blocked on my Work Laptop. So what are my options now?
I was wondering about USB tether. How to get that? Please suggest.
Thanks

Install a 2.2 rom and use MobileAP, it's an infrastructure hotspot. I can even tether my Android tablet to it. I have used Cognition and now using Serendipity. Awesome. Simply awesome.

I second this. You can even tether other devices to a 2.2 device with no troubles at all. Even wireless tether goes wonky on me sometimes, but mobile AP just works
You could also try Easytether. Although it costs money, and involves installing the software on your computer, it works. I used it with my not-so-fantastic G1 from forever ago. (to see this app in the market, you may need the market access apk.)
Hopefully this helps a bit.

I am stuck at updating the Software. I Click on Software Update in the Settings Menu and it say "Communication in Progress..." this goes on forever and never does anything.
Do I have to undo Root? to update the software to 2.2.
You say "Install a 2.2 rom" can you provide some instructions where and how?

damn! unlocked phone sm-g900a hotspot not work

I'm from Venezuela, I have purchased a mobile unlocked at & t "galaxy s5 sm-g900a" but as I do not have att sim, apparently I can not use the hotspot.
There is no way to run the hotspot with another carrier?
when trying to enable hotspot says "mobile data is not available or is not a valid sim"
edit: only works through USB.

Have you tried foxfi or tether it?

yes, works great with EasyTether with USB, I've been able to connect via USB and have internet from there.
I'm missing is wifi audit.
:good:

I have the same problem. I would like to tether via WIFI.
Someone could fix it?

Hey I tried fox-fi at work yesterday (I work at hhgregg) to try to provide WiFi to a laptop and it wouldn't work for me. It asked me to install pdanet+ first so I did and it still didn't work. Any way to get WiFi hot spots with this phone without root?

no way, I've tried everything to make it work for wifi and nothing, is completely blocked by the software layer at&t, only works for USB.
I downloaded and tested all applications for wifi tether, and no work, same error.

Well good news, geohot achieved our root at&t.
Now, as you can unlock the hotspot feature to use internet with another operator.
I remember a atrix 2 at & t, was modified somewhat in the system folder, but with this phone do?

Auto Enable Wifi Tether?

I am able to enable wifi tethering because its included but i have not been able to set up a task with tasker to accomplish this automatically. I thought maybe it was a root function but since being able to root i have not been able to get this to work. I have tried the built in tasker stuff as well as secure settings plug in. Not sure if its a lollipop or s6 issue. Haven't been able to find anything on it. I just keep getting fail messages

I am in the same boat. I just want to enable the wifi hotspot when it connects to the bluetooth in my car. I am rooted as well. Same issue. I just cant get it to enable. it just errors. Hopefully someone with more knowledge than I can fix this. I will even use a third party wifi tethering app if it will work properly.

WiFi Tether Router in the Google Play Store.
must be rooted obviously.

That didn't seem to work. Said it was on but couldn't get anything to see it.

bluetooth tethering?
Is bluetooth tethering available? I just got a Z4 tablet and would like to use it.

Any options for tethering apps (non-root) for Sprint G4?

Hello,
Anyone know if FoxFi or other techniques work to tether the phone with a laptop to get internet from the phone onto the laptop? I know I can pay Sprint to subscribe for the hotspot feature, but I feel it's unjust because I'm paying for data already (not unlimited plan) so I feel it would be unjust double-billing to make me pay for the data twice essentially.
USB cable methods would be fine, in addition to bluetooth or wifi. Anything?

I tried a few of them and couldn't get anything to work. Root can't get here fast enough.

Foxfi doesn't work. Confirmed yesterday.

I am attempting to gain my MSL so I can change some APN settings and setup hotspot using foxfi and trick the authentication through the APN like on the S6.
This phone has been a real pain the rear trying to get access to things.

how can you get your msl, call Sprint?

you do not have to call Sprint to get your MSL/SPC - method described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2521276 worked for my LG G4 Sprint
Can you please provide instructions for enabling hotspot via foxfi without root? I can get to APN settings screen via ##3282# but there is no field "APN Type" on this phone

PDAnet+
If you haven't looked at it I would suggest PDAnet+. I can't directly link to it but the web address is pdanet.co. I personally use it with the USB Tether and it works flawlessly, for the most part. What I mean by that is if you don't have a koalality USB cable you WILL run into some issues. I was using my old G2 cable not realizing it was shot and would drop the connection and corrupt big downloads. The Free version has a few restrictions, but for light or general use I don't think that would be a major issue. I bought the app as I use my G4 as my internet on my PC . I game with it and download things with no issues. I downloaded all of GTA 5 (60gb) with no major issues either.

Could you elaborate on what is a koalality USB cable? I searched google for "koalality USB" and nothing came up.

LOL, he probably meant quality
USB cables are not born the same. Personaly I use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.ampere to test the USB cable. You will see a huge difference in Amps between good and bad USB cables using the same charger.

hah thanks, didn't catch that. OK will try out both the PDAnet+ app and the Ampere app and see how they work.

So Much for pdanet+ says it's not supported by our carrier.

USB and bluetooth both work fine with foxfi (paid) on the phone and pdanet on the laptop. I suspect but haven't tried that pdanet on the phone in conjunction with pdanet on the laptop will work as well.

Foxfi, Tether It, and WiFi Tether Router are all working.

Just confirmed that pdanet on the phone with pdanet on laptop worked.

PDANet on laptop and FoxFi work beautifully for USB. WiFi tether doesn't work for me.

WiFi Tether Router requires root, so it can't be working
it used to be possible to enable stock tethering by changing APN Type to default,mms,dun , but I no longer see "APN Type" in the APN menu

ok, not sure how it works, but certainly seems to. i dont get the hot spot error anymore

Did this today, worked for me.
I also used Klink, which is a paid USB tether with nice configuration features. I used PDAnet before Klink for USB tether, but could never get its Wifi tether to work when the native hotspot was still disabled.

Hey there. Just a couple of questions. Do you have Sprint, unlimited data, the latest OTA, and was it on LTE?
I tried today, September 22 for the first time and almost immediately got the pop up. I have Sprint unlimited with latest OTA but was on 3G with the pop up.
I followed these directions which I think is the same, http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-enable-wifi-tethering-on-sprint-lg-g4-without-root/ but wasn't sure what they meant when they said, "f it works good but if you get a popup saying “Due to network issues, tethering has been disabled”, you need to follow the same steps again but instead of selecting Internet in the APN settings select ‘cinet.spcs’."
Thanks.
