Tethering Broken after lollipop upgrade - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

well, title pretty much explains it...
qafter upgrading to lollipop with a captured ota , stock unrooted, wifi and usb tetherin just dont work. both create a connection with no internet. wifi says (on my tablet) "connected but no internet" and the pc says "network error"
this is pretty important, so can anyone help me out?

Try setting "APN Type" to empty
Edit the APN you are using, set "APN Type" to be empty, i.e. remove everything that is set there. This works for me for tethering wifi. I don't use USB tethering so cannot give feedback.
I am a junior XDA member so I cannot give a link, but I got this solution from forums.motorola.com slash comment slash 762550.

assurya,
Thanks for sharing this... had this issues and now is solved!

xdaIIi-internet coonection

Please, please help. I have just managed to connect my xdaIIi to my wireless network, but am unable to connect to the internet. Whenever i try to connect it uses GPRS(O2 active) and I am left with a blank screen.
Any help greatly appreciated, it is driving me mad!!!!
just delete gprs setting for the first time and it would be ok. later you can get gprs setting back
Thanks for responding, but when I try to cancel the gprs it returns every few seconds.
Some applications fire up the internet connection if it is down, like Internet Explorer.
Are you sure that all your applications are properly shut-down and not running hidden in the background? ( Settings / System / Memory / Running Programs)
Checkout at Setting / Connections / GRPS Setting... manage existing connections and under proxy settings untick at the top....
I tried stopping all programs still no success, looked in gprs setting and did not have any mention of proxy settings, just class 8 or class 10.
I now get the message which says I must provide proxy server information
HTTP
WAP
Secure WAP
Socks
I have no idea what to do and think I'll just use the laptop for surfing and forget about the internet on the XDA.
Thanks for all of your help so far
dont look under grps setting that got class 8 or class 10. Looks under Connections, the got your GRPS Setting..... manage existing connections.... you'll find the proxy setting.....
hello
newbie here am having same problem cant connect via wifi to internet ?????
I have unticked the "this network connects to the internet" but still no success. Everytime I look at the proxy settings the box has reticked itself.
I must be really stupid, I have tried all of the above an still to no avail. I now get the following message
Unable to coonect: you have no modem entries created, and no network card.
I once used this xda on my brother in laws wireless network, but it does not appear to work. Help please!!!

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.

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?

are you sure that you are using the "right" encryption? perhaps you have wpa2
(tkip or aes) and the device checks only wpa? or you enter the wrong password in
wep, then the connection looks like it is established, but you can do nothing with it!
just a thought...
yep

hello...yep..everything is entered correctly..as i say ive been setting them up for years..this one connects fine..have all the boxes ticked but cant actually use the internet..works fine on all my other wm units
Stupid question tbh but I see this sort of thing every day nearly..
Your subnet is the same as the router yes? Does dhcp allocate one out to you or have u got a static ip on the phone?
Despite being connected to the wifi access without being on the same network you will not gain net access.
Who is your carrier for cell service? If you're on AT&T, and you've run an auto-setup CAB file for your cellular network settings, then you may need to double check your connection and proxy settings. Usually the solution is to select the correct network connection and NOT try to use your carriers proxy when you're connected via Wifi.
If you ARE on AT&T, then do this... Go to Start > Settings > Connections tab > Connections > Advanced tab > Select Networks button. Set both drop down entries to MEdiaNet... for most this will have NO adverse impact (assumes you have a data plan too). OK to save selections.
Now go back to those MEdiaNet drop down selections. Edit either one of them. Go to the Proxy Setting tab. Uncheck the second box indicating this network connection uses a proxy. OK the settings... enjoy non-proxied Internet freedom via Wifi.
If you're not on AT&T, maybe the same proxy issue could be present. But I couldn't help you with your settings. Hope this helps.

hey..thank you for having little think about it..but im in the uk..t-mobile and those settings having nothing to do really with connecting to my wifi at home..except tell my phone it can..which i did..
all the settings are correct...exactly the same settings im using on other wm devices but when they say its connected i can actually do something..rather than on the diamond where it says its connected but doesnt allow me
ive set the phone up identical to another wm6 phone in every way..that connects fine and i can use my wifi ..this phone i cant
Have you tried connecting to a different wifi router, a friend or whatever?
If you can connect there, then that narrows down the problem to your settings, or your router, or the router setup
Do you know anyone else with a Diamond that could try to see if they could connect to your router?
If they can connect but you can't then you could take a look at their connections. Or it could mean a faulty device. If they can't connect either, then this will give you some clues.
I'm assuming that you've deleted the connection and reformed it. Did you choose work or the internet? Have you tried changing that.
Have you tried changing the Authentication to Shared?
Each time you make a change you need to let it 'set' for a few seconds and then reboot.
Can you connect to the internet via Activesync pass-through?
Sorry, that's all I can think of at the moment. If something else occurs to me I'll post back.
Hi.. I'm not sure if this will help or if you already have tried it.
But I had the same problem and the solution was this:
Pres start -> Settings -> Connection -> Wireless Lan -> power mode
Now use best settings, instead of battery save. ( Im not sure if the translation is 100% right. Translated from danish Diamond)
At the start I couldn't load any pages with Wi-fi, though there was no problem with the connection from the router. But now it works like a charm

This was the solution for me
I have had the same problem Imy phone even should be picked up by the repair centre then as a last try someone gave me the idea to change the leaver at wireless lan/energymodus to the left (best conection) and whala, I have tried it later whit my phone almost on the wirelesspoint to set it to best batterymode but not even at the middle it would do anything, it says conected but no data is comming to the phone, just when the leaver is at his almost left it will work.
Good luck.

[Q] Data Tethering

Internet Tethering to use data on your Razr i sim card to provide wireless internet connection to other devices such as tablets and computers is defective and always fails ..... So has anyone found an application or any other method of getting this to work???
Please as used to use this functionality a lot as not charged extra by my network service provider and have large data allowance
Let me know, Thanks
The native solution is working great for me, I'm on 32002.
Could you be more specific about your issue? Any error messages?

Are you positive that wifi tethering works? I'm on 32002 too, I can connect but internet doesn't work. Niether any of market solutions. I use Open Garden which use bluetooth connection.
Kept meaning to make a thread like this. Wifi tethering not working here either - gives connection to the connected device but no internet (local connection only).
Tested with Win 8 PC, Win 7 laptop, 2 other android phones, nexus 7 tablet.
I have the same issue here. I enable WiFi Hotspot, then I just get "Mobile Data Link Lost". Motorola have just suggested I do a factory reset - I haven't got around to trying that, yet.
Not going to do that for something that didn't work out if the box on an unmodified device.
Is everyone here still able to use internet on phone while tethered? Only the connected device has no internet?
Sent from my XT890 using xda premium
So far I have used it only for my wifi kindle, and it works.
Will test it with other gadgets when I'm at work again.
Update: tried with a NetBook and an iPhone, both worked like a charm.
I had the same issue ("mobile data link lost"), and solved it by changing the APN settings. Although settings vary from carrier to carrier, here is what i did: i changed the APN type from "default" to "default, dun". Hotspot and usb tethering works fine eversince.

j4nosf, thank you! I really appreciate you signing up and posting this! For me, I it didn't work straight away, but you certainly pointed me right at the problem!
So to fix it, I went Settings -> More... -> Mobile networks -> Access Point Names, then I pressed the name of the APN with a dot by it, edited it's "APN type". I tried setting "default, dun", but it didn't work. I opened up another APN on my phone and copied it's type - setting it to this (no spaces) worked:
default,supl,dun,hipri
I have no idea what it does, but it sure solved my issue. This is great - thank you Anyone else with a Razr I who keeps getting "Mobile Data Link Lost" when enabling wifi hotspot / tether will sure be grateful...

I have the same problem with tethering. Can you please explain what exactly did you changed in your New APN so it worked for you ?
As I have read in some other forum the key thing is to somehow insert "dun" into the apn type. However, there is no universal solution since every carrier has its own apn settings. Therefore, you have to experiment like I and searbe did, and sooner or later you will find a way to get it work. As a first step, I would try to simply insert "dun" after the current apn type (i.e. if your apn type is "x", change it to "x, dun").
You may also try to contact your carrier, maybe they know the correct settings.
Good luck!

Same with Nexus 7 2013. I connect to wifi on remote camera and get "connected, no internet" and then the connection will go on, go off constantly. In the UI a brief message appears sporadically asking you if you want to keep connection, if so press OK. However the message does not stay long enough for you to hit OK. I might have hit the OK a few times but apparently not, as the connection does not hold.
