I find it intriguing on why would you post on the development section instead of the general as a question? There is a setting called Wi-Fi tethering in the settings, don't use any app.

i know its out of order but I've broken my right arm and hand.
dont have my laptop and did nit realise it was in the wrong thread.
cant even type.....

There is the Tethering & Mobile Hotspot under settigs and it works. If you cannot enable it, the reason is false insettings under APN. Check it and add supl and dun to APN type if you doesn't have them already.

Will or Is Force Roaming be available?

Curious if anyone knows the status of the Force Roam option.
I've really enjoyed having that option on my HTC EVO LTE.
Thanks
I've heard a rumor that Roam Control works on it. Haven't had a chance to test it out, I'll see if it works at all sometime later today. I too would enjoy having the ability to force roam (I live in the vicinity of a rural area so at times it's needed) - is great on my EVO LTE running MeanBean.
I've ported the mod but it's not working it worked on the sense 5 port for the ELTE

Roam control v1.4 does work, it's an old version but you should still be able to find the apk.

Thanks for the info guys.
I read mixed opinions about latest Roam Control working.
I hope OMJ figures out how to do the built in hack
1.4 works for me, rooted of course.

Ah I got it. Thanks I've never dabbled in force roaming before outta fear of Sprint axing my contract for "excessive roaming" and that causing my wife to kick my a** lol but I'm checking into it to see the difference in speeds and just use it in a "as needed" situation. I've come to the understanding that with the right mods you can do the ##778# and edit the prl from there but I'm not entirely sure yet what all that entails. I was just checking around in there and when I selected edit mode under the prl option it asked me for a password and I'm not sure what password it wants. Lol still digging but I'm at work now(in a warehouse so reception is god awful) so after work I may looking into it more. Thanks again any further knowledge anyone shares is much appreciated.

Okay, the RoamControl app does not work on an un-rooted phone. Confirmed using version 2.7 and selecting htc unrooted in options. The developer does not return emails, so those that are looking to roam on a stock device will have to wait for the app to be updated.
It's cool tho, I will be rooted as soon as I'm convinced this phones hardware is worthy of the pounding I'm gonna put on it over the next year! hehe
Peace.

Unlock?

Is there a way to unlock my cappy that isn't going to cost me? I don't have a computer and I tried vibrant unlock and it didn't work. I dropped my note 2 and the screen is FUBAR. So I was going to use my cappy until I get the 175 together to submit a claim on the phone insurance with T-Mobile. I have a good sim to use just can't find my unlock code.

If you read the "download" section in the linked OP again it might clear it up for you.......The nv data thing is normal. Just do what it says.....backup efs (then it can read nv) then unlock twice. Once for partial unlock twice to fully unlock.
Once it is unlocked and your thinking, wow this was actually really easy, consider a donation to the author for making it so.....even if it isn't until after that note2 is paid for

If you cannot access it from the Play Store would you like me to upload the apk for you to just download and install that way? You shouldn't have to pay to unlock your device, at least with all the options on the captivate. Another user requested the same check his thread in the General section, m1batt1 also posted another, longer but still effective, way to unlock if the app doesn't work.

So it worked. I am now using my cappy in T-Mobile. Thanks for that. My note 2 uses a micro sim and the cappy takes a regular sim. I used my old straight talk that's no good anymore because I ported my number for it over to T-Mobile and cut out a guide for the micro sim. Is there a better way or is that about it?

Nope, this is a common misconception, and one the mobile phone companies (unsurprisingly) aren't keen to dispel. The confusion arises because unlocking and unblocking are often mixed up, yet mean different things.
Unlocking is totally legal. It just means making the phone work with any Sim card.
Unblocking is illegal. This is the practice of making a phone work again after it's been blocked by the networks, usually as a result of its being reported lost or stolen. Unsurprisingly, It is thoroughly illegal and should not be attempted.
If you are in a contract and got the phone from them at a discount with it then maybe....But then why would you be unlocking it.

hmm people still sell these "illegal"? codes, and what if you bought your phone used off ebay for example. There goes any resale value and in turn less interest in a contract phone.
If your concerned about it, you should lock your phone, what else can I say.:good:
Unnecessary. I also found out that there are at least 3 bills in congress to address that specifically. They also cannot tell when it was done. Nor do they much care.

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?

Got working 3G on google edition

Okay guys . After a day of messing around with this Google Edition I finally got fully working data . I was wondering if anyone could tell me the direction to get the roaming indicator off . I'm up loading it to dropbox right not and its taking forever . So if you have suggestions for a different file sharing please let me know.
Did you port this from Verizon's port or the International?
I booted up the Verizon port and have working LTE right out of the gate. Good job on messing around with it. I just wish we had the 4.3 version... Beggars can't be choosers though.

I would love to use the Google version if everything checked out ok. I am not one to tinker with it. But the idea of no bloatware has me almost there... So if anyone figures out how to get it work with no issues that would be great. Where I live we only get 3g so anything above that wont matter to me. Good work btw to you guys who figure this stuff out. Many Thanks :laugh::good:

I downloaded an app called "Lte on off" on that app I change the preferred network mode to Cdma/lte auto prl. If at firat it doesn't work try switching it to another and then back to that. It takes a minuter to kick in. I also had mobile data disabled while I did it and then enabled it, don't know if that made a difference.

AT&T Wifi Hotspot Hack-Very Easy

I found this hack in LG G2 forum at XDA, so the credit goes to whoever found this, not to me.
1. Download SQLite Editor (I have the paid version)
2. Open the file - /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
3. There's a field named 'tether_entitlement_check_state'. in System. Original value is set to 5. Changed it to 0 and save
4. Reboot the phone
5. Enjoy tethering using AT&T app, not necessary to install any other app.
Edit: USB tethering works great too.
Where's the att app at?

I don't know if this hack works for other versions, anyway I'm using the app that came pre-installed, it is part of AT&T bloatware.

Dont' worry.
I got this to work through the settings using this method, no need on using it through Mobile Hotspot app.
And I believe this method needs to be moved to the Theme and APPs section

SO im assuming that this method does not work for sprint? im in serious need for infrastructure tethereing

What program are you using to edit? I couldn't find it using root explorer like I normally use. Had to use the 920 text editor app
Im using SQLite Editor. Ill try using 920 text editor.
Edit no luck. I posted up screenshots showing that I cant find that tether entitlement. The second pic is the 920 editor and it doesn't find anything in the data folder.
EDIT. I found it. I had to run the app and leave it running in the background to find the entitlement check. Thanks for the post and help.
