for those of you that dont know video share does not work on the htc fuze it your settings say wap.cingular. att has tried to fix this with no success still waiting on a call back from them. we know that the settings should say ims.cingular butmanually changing it does not work it has to come from htc like that. so it anyone has any suggestion please post. and yes i do have the service from att and it works on other video share phones.
I have had alot of issues with differant devices and VIDEO SHARE, to that i will say this; have them remove the soc code(feature) and then add it back to the account after a soft reset on your device. This has been the process that has corrected mine for many of my devices.
Any relief on this? curious if it is the ROM I am using or if it really isnt working.

strangely my phone sometimes says ims.cingular and I cannot connect and it asks for a password on boot up. Most of the time it is wap.cingular. Weird...
As for videoshare, you have to be on a 3g (H) connection to stream data and talk at the same time. I haven't tried the videoshare, but I will test and see what I get....any other ideas?
Video Share Checklist
I just thought I'd share my experience with getting Video Share to work properly on the FUZE (and on my LG VU) So here it is:
Checklist
3G Service Area: you (and the other party) MUST be in a 3g service area, with at least 2 bars, why 2 bars you ask? well, quality of service mainly, less than 2 bars and your 3G will be very slow, remember you're trying to transmit alot of data with Video share.
A Data Plan: This was a shock, but not really... if you don't want to be charged for every KB of data sent / received in addition to the 35 cents per minute pay per use or whichever plan you have, you must have a good data plan to cover the charges... I don't understand why AT&T feels they must double charge, once for the feature and then for the data to use that feature, MMS Messages do the same... if they charge a high rate for MMS, you shouldnt be charged for the associated DATA, what a rip!
Video Share PPU, Starter, or Premium service (the service itself) -- not much to say but DUH, also the receiver must have this service and an appropriate data plan as mentioned above or you will never see the option on your phone during a call.
IMS APN Feature: (FREE) Although the guy I finally got a hold of to make this all work (who had a thick accent and was hard to understand, but knew what he was doing) told me that video share will work with wap.cingular, there have been reports that it doesn't. When you provision Video share the network automatically changes your APN to ims.cingular, IMS APN feature must be on your account for access or it could give you all sorts of problems form "forbidden" on browsing to rejected emails/mms. If you have a 3G phone this is most likely on your account, it is the new higher speed apn for 3G, maybe that's why the internal customer service code for it is "3GMM" hmm....
Correct settings in your phone: I'm not going to go into those details here, but its obvious, you must have the correct settings.
Correct IMEI: Here's the fun one, I had tried everything above as mentioned in scattered posts throughout the net only to call at&t several times getting frustrated over not getting any results, the final time I called them I ended up talking to some guy in a "special department" related to video share issues. After reviewing all settings on my account he finally figured out the problem (which took him about 2 minutes after getting transfered) the IMEI numbers for my phones were not listed in the system. (blame the dealer I bought the phones from as they are supposed to enter this) there are several places the IMEI's get listed, and I'd think they could easily pluck this information from the network when the phone registers but no, I read him my IMEI information from both lines on my account that video share didn't work for (the FUZE and the VU), he had us remove the batteries as he sent the updates across the network, and BAM the very next call between the phones and video share works like a champ. What this boiled down to is the network didn't know what type of phone I had and what features to turn on and what to do to make the phones talk to each other in a compatible form. I'd think this would cause all sorts of other issues with the network too, not just for video share.
A final note on this: if you change phones, make sure you call and have the IMEI information updated, if I change my FUZE for another FUZE it would probably work, but if I swap the device out for a different model it would not necessarily pick the most compatible features for my phone...
Privisioned Dates: When you go to your online account management and add features, it says they are immediately effective, sometimes this is true, but in the case of my account it likes to post-date to the next bill cycle. This is especially true when you visit an AT&T store, it will definitely post-date there. I had 3 IMS APN features and Video Share features on my account, all with different dates, this is because, I tried to add and 2 people at the store tried to add, to make sure Video Share and IMS are on your account and active / effective TODAY you have no choice but to call customer service and tell them you want them on your account effective immediately. While it will appear on your account management that you have it, don't trust it as it only checks for the feature, not the active dates.
And finally the internet connection: Some people have noted that your connection must be active before the call, this is not true although it is very helpful. The video share negotiation takes place over the phone control channel, when it is determined that you both have the service and compatible phones it will send a message to both phones. They will then try to turn on their data connections and verify with the server whether or not the option should be turned on. If your data is active before the call your video share button will be available instantly as it is for me. If it is NOT then it will take ~20 seconds or more to connect to the net and contact the server to verify, then turn on the option for you. Just make sure your internet works in general and that you can connect and you should have no problems during a normal call.
I hope this helps at least some of the people out there having this issue, and maybe some others having other issues with the network. Sorry for the long post
vs is ok now
OK this is a miracle finally got my HTC fuze to do video share. When I started this thread I was so mad at ATT and htc. Well here is the deal I had tried just about every avenue to get this to work and after reading whitehawk82 post, one of his points stood out.
FIRST make sure you have the latest sim card from ATT and IMS APN Feature is activated, now be aware that ATT needs to reset your entire data service so the ims.cingular can kick in on the ATT fuze. To make sure this is working when you turn on your fuze it will automatically connect to ims.cingular as with all video share phones.
SECOND now that you are connected you would think it would work, well not quite that easy. Now you need to re-install original ATT fuze rom and finally when you go to contacts live video share call will no longer be grayed out. Put back all your info manually for best results sprite restore may put back some incorrect settings.

And this is why Video Share will NEVER take off. It's too ****ing complicated to get working on 2 devices, and it is completely USELESS. Seriously... I talk to people online and we both have webcams, but we don't get on cam just to talk. We just talk. Video is such an unnecessary part of every day communication.
recently bought a htc diamond from a market stall which i think was a mistake!!! he said it was all working and put my sim card in at the stall which the phone turned on and everthing seemed to work, on closer inspection i have no signal the internet works i take it the gprs is still running through my sim but i dont recieve calls / make them or texts due to the fact i have no signal!! ive tried updating the rom with the one from orange website that works but still have no signal, now i like the phone so was wondering if there is a rom / hacked software for the phone that unblocks it? i dont mind having h#dodgy software on it as my contract runs out soon and will be getting a new phone anyway just need this one to work for the time beeing!!
Not too sure, there is a few things that could be wrong.
Broken antenna?
Software problem?
Blocked IMEI?
just checked the imei number currently unblocked so its not that!!
try another simcard older sims are not always compatible
but most places operators send you a new one for free if you "lost" it or broke it
Didn't you try to make a call before paying for it? I hope you didn't pay too much!
From what I read in the first post, it seems as tho you say the internet works?!? Do you mean cellular or Wifi Inet? If you have cellular Inet then you have a signal! Cellular Data cannot be transmitted if there is no signal.
Take a look at the antennae: There are two "sticker" antennas {1 above & 1 below the battery} Remove battery cover. At the top of the device is a sticker antenna that is for the Wifi & Bluetooth. At the bottom is a sticker antenna for the cellular radio. If the sticker looks damaged then that is your problem. Also check to see that the Void sickers are still there {there should be two; 1 above & 1 below battery}. If not then someone has opened it & possibly damaged the antenna. Don't forget to look at the LDI {Liquid Damage Indicator} located under the lanyard hook while you're at it.
You can also try flashing with a different Radio. Read the Diamond Radio thread in Diam ROM Dev.
Hello all!
Just to start things of, I have read trough the forum and I've googled around alot about this but it doesn't look like anyne has ever posted what worked to fix this.
If there's someone that has sent in their kaiser to have the mb replaced could you please send me some sort of email where they state it is a factory problem? the warranty is out and I really don't want to pay for a new mb on this 2 year old phone.
I've tried several different radios and none of them work, currently using wm6.1 downloaded from htc.com.
Problem is as the topic states it doesn't work in 3g. As it tries to connect to the 3g network it just searches, but never connects.
Some of the threads I've read says that the ppl get it working sometimes, but for me it never happens.
I have got a working 3g simcard, and I've tried the card in another telephone and there it workds perfectly.
The phone is a HTC Tytn II
Anyone that can help me? thanks
It still just sounds like a radio problem. Have you tried the whole list of radios? Trying "several" might not be enough. As long as you have hardSPL'd your device there's no harm in trying the whole list of radios from here, starting with newest first and working your way up the list.
I'll try them all.. back in an hour .
There.. tried them all.
It connects to a 3g network, then when I try to make a phonecall or data session it just disconnects.
the closest I got was with the neon 1.58.25.17 where it was still connected even after the failed phonecall. It just beeps a couple of time and then it says I'm not connected to any network.
Just a little thought...
I've read that wcdma here in europe is at 2100 / 900.. but in my phone I can only choose between UMTS 2100, 1900+850 and 2100 + 800.
No I'm just dumb sorry..
Why not get it checked out professionally?
Maybe it's a damaged tracer inside the antenna sticker. It shouldn't cost much to get an HTC service centre to access what's wrong (although if it does require a new motherboard and they don't cover it under warranty, it'll probably be uneconomic to repair. Make sure it's fully reverted to a from the factory state (no hardSPL and original ROM/Radio/SPL) before taking it in though.
Well, that is the next logic step.
As I said in my first post, I have read on other forums aswell as this where people have had problem with this exact same thing and if anyone of them had it fixed with software I'd like to know.
You could buy a broken one on ebay for parts and just swap out that motherboard for your own instead of sending it to HTC. Its fairly straightforward to replace it.

If you've restored it back to an as from the factory state (with all original ROM/Radio and SPL) and it's no longer behaving as it did when it was new (test with the memory card removed) then that proves the difference must be due to hardware changes/failures if you test it in areas where there's known good 3G coverage and the same sim gets good 3G coverage in another phone. If you haven't done this yet, I'd suggest you do (you didn't say if you changed back from hardSPL to OEM, it shouldn't make a difference but at least you'll know it's 100 % original). Preferably test it with an HTC WM 6.0 ROM/Radio/SPL. If that doesn't make a difference, before rushing out and spending money on motherboards etc, get it checked out by an HTC professional - the small cost of such testing may save you more money in the long run on parts that aren't actually needed. A work-around that's been used to get reception (although not in 3G) is to change the band just to GSM from Auto.
Good luck finding someone who's been through your exact scenario but this is something you can do in the mean time.
Hi ldjocke, I live in Italy and my Kaiser works fine with 3G (checked with Vodafone, TIM and 3 operators...)
Looking at band selection in phone settings, I can found:
Auto
GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100)
GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850)
UMTS(2100+800)
Choosing Auto it succesfully connects...
In Italy GSM uses 900 and 1800 and UMTS uses 2100...
Where do you live?
Hello Ppelleg.
I'm in sweden, and got thesame settings as you on my phone.
Afther reading through this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335074 I'm confident that it's a hardware issue. Sending it in and will be back with information.
Just wanted to close this thread.. I sent it in for repair and as everyone said in the thread that I linked to in an earlier post it was the 3gcircuit that was burned.
But.. the price it cost me to fix it is the same as buying a brand new HTC HD2 (6880sek) and that's just not right.
Still looking for anyone that has gotten it in written from htc that the tytn had a couple of faulty boards. There should be some way around this massive amount..

What did the the HTC repair centre had caused the board to fail? What did they say when you questioned them about having heard of such an issue with older models of the phone? If the price was going to be astronomical, they should have contacted you to get the go-ahead first (unless you'd given them authority to go ahead no matter what the cost).
Some points to put to them.
So I just upgraded to a Lumia 928 (my first WP) but because of pricing reasons and other contracts am still on a Nationwide Talk & Text plan, I am however now limited (tiered data). Now Verizon still wants to charge me for this feature despite the whole MCI v. FCC. 515 F 2d 385 (D.C. Circ 1974) thing where blocking or restricting apps on the C block is illegal and they can't charge extra for tethering (7/31/12). I've filed a 2000B form complaint with the FCC but I'm wondering if there is any current way to tether for free; I do have a developer account through dreamspark so even just a xap or sln file would work. Otherwise realistically, will the FCC do anything? This does (or at least can dependant on local radio towers) operate on the 700 band so the C Block rules should apply.
Is there any way to tether on WP8 for free?
(Again illegally imposed restriction on a tiered data plan)
Wired tethering is possible on Samsung devices, and may bypass the carrier check, but it's not (so far as I know) avaialable on Nokia phones yet. Other than that, there's no such option that I'm aware of.
I haven't read the court decision in detail, but my recollection was that it still allowed charging for tethering, just that they couldn't block it. This may be mistaken on my part, though. Frankly, I have no love for Verizon at all - they nickel and dime customers to death, they use the travel-incompatible CDMA technology, they don't offer incentives to bring your own phone (they barely support it at all), and their early temination fees are steep.

Thanks,
I haven't read the specifics other than the press release
In addition, the company recently revised its service offerings such that consumers on usage-based pricing plans may tether, using any application, without paying an additional fee.

so I thought that would include the built in internet sharing app
Frankly it's incredibly unclear and sucks
due to the way employee discounts are applied it's cheaper to have 5 smartphones @ 2gb each vs 10gb of shared with 5 smartphones even though the plan price works out to be the same
If you are on a tiered plan, you have free tethering included. I have used it several times myself (Lumia 928)

Hello, i bought a Nokia Lumia 928 on ebay from the states. I live in Sweden. and shure enough, i should have googled the phone a bit more before i bought it.
I have fixed to of my biggest problems with this phone.
Number 1. audio dropouts / call sound problems, speaker problems / no sound
If you go in to audio settings and you are able to change equalizer without having earphones plugged in, its the 3,5mm speaker jack that is the problem.
If you want to fix it yourself just search YouTube for Lumia 928 disassembly.
My quick fix is somewhat risky but I had to do it because my t5 torx in the speaker jack is busted.
I removed the screw in the simtray hole, unclipped the shell where the micro USB is, then went around the 3,5mm jack, down on the long side beside it, just few centimeters below, bended it out, this is hard, this way the 3,5mm connectors moves free from connector cable, blow in the crack and 3,5mm hole to get out dust, then press the phone together again and restart, I have had to do this twice. Buy a dustcap for 3,5mm jack..

2. lumia 928 Tethering, wifi hotspot, internet sharing
I was not able to use this due to verizons lockdown, i was just kicked out when i tried to activate it. But i updated to GDR3 and installed Nokia Access point and edited my apn settings in that app. (I already did it in the regular phone settings but it did not help)

And for some reason, when i did these two steps, i can now active internet sharing, i guess the Nokia access point app did something different, because i could not activate internet sharing before this.
When you have installed Nokia access point, you will find it under settings / access point
My wife bought me the international version of the Samsung Gear S (SM-R750W). She said that she researched and from her understanding it should work on the T mobile network. From what I've found though the consensus seemed to be it would not work, or if it did it would be spotty at best depending on the specific towers/area you were in because Tmobile utilizes different network types in different areas.
I decide to give it a shot anyway and went to the T-Mobile store where I signed up for the wearable plan and got a new nano sim card. I was crossing my fingers but as soon as they put the sim card in the watch it came to life. It looked to be working fine but as I left the store I received a text from T-Mobile stating " the SIM for your wearable devices is in an ineligible device. Services to the SIM are locked until it returned to your eligible wearable device".
I pessimistically started thinking well great, there goes that idea. But as I got into my vehicle I shut my phone down and tried to see if the watch can work on its own as a phone when unencumbered from my Note 4 bluetooth/WiFi data connections. It worked perfectly-I started calling my friends and they couldn't believe I was talking on a watch phone. Several I actually felt the call sound quality was better on the watch speaker phone compared to normally speaking on the Note 4. I called customer service but they told me they couldn't see anything and if it was working fine not to worry about it.
For the next eight or 9 hours it worked perfectly and I was using it a lot. I drove around large swaths of town and neither data nor call experienced even the slightest issue - for once I was happy to be wrong.
Eventually, as I am oft to do, I fell asleep. When I awoke this morning the watch was no longer connected to the network. It gave me a message saying it was unable to connect and did I want to scan for additional networks. I selected yes and it was able to find the T-Mobile and ATT networks. T-Mobile was selected and a "registering" notification was displayed. It took awhile but eventually said it was unable to register with the network.
I call T-Mobile and they said pretty much exactly what I expected them to say -that because it was not a T mobile device they could not ensure proper operation. But he said (and he characterized this as "good news", "light at the end of a tunnel" and "viable solution” Seriously said all 3 things.) I could either forget all about the cellular connection and just use this as a companion device OR go and buy a new Gear S from T Mobile if I really wanted that feature.
I’m truly and utterly baffled that he believed his suggestions merited the positive sayings from above. Never in my lifetime has my head been closer to exploding.
After I was finally able to speak again, I explained that it seemed unlikely to be an issue with the watch. If my Gear S was working perfectly yesterday and can still detect Tmobile & ATT networks, then something on your end seems to be preventing registration. He agree to file a ticket with the engineering team and tomorrow I should hear from them hopefully. He also told me to go and try another nano-SIM, gratis, at the Tmobile store. So today I went and as soon as I put the new card in all systems were go. I assumed that I somehow had received a bad card because here again now, data and voice are connected.
This time I didn’t even make it out of the parking lot before it notified me that that it was again unable to register with the network. There is conflicting information regarding the radio frequencies and bands that the different Gear S models have and I didn’t have high hopes. But then it actually did work, WELL, so any ideas as to what is going wrong?
I don't know how I put this in the wrong forum, could one of the mods please delete it? It's already been reposted in the correct forum.
