Hey all,
For some reason, AOSP unified builds are using the wrong network. I have a T-Mobile GSM device, and right now with PA 4.3 BETA 2, the ROM is recognizing my phone as a Verizon wireless build. This means I have no internet over mobile data and no connection with Google on Wifi.
I'm assuming this is a build prop issue. I've attempted to install Slimkat and Cyanogenmod before and I had the same issue. Can someone help me? I'm hoping that I won't have to wipe and flash back to stock, but if it's the only option...
UPDATE: I found out that ro.telephony.default_network was set to 10 instead of 9, so now I have it as T-Mobile instead of Verizon Wireless both in status and on the network tile. However, I did just notice that my lockscreen says NO SIM CARD - TMOBILE.
Additionally, I still have no connection with Google - I have orange connection bars both on Wifi and on mobile data. However, I know I still have internet because I'm currently downloading the new PA Gapps.
Here is a paste of my build.prop after I changed ro.telephony.default_network to 9. If someone could please help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Did you try manually adding your carriers APN settings?
I was connected to fast.tmobile LTE, but it was still looking for a verizon network

To be more specific, I have double checked my APN settings; I doubt that this is the issue since it is set up correctly. The issue seems to be that the ROM is recognizing my phone as a Verizon Wireless phone. Verizon Wireless is listed as the network in my About Phone settings, and Verizon Wireless is listed on my network tile.
Hello,
Normally I can find everything I've ever needed by searching here, but I was not able to find a solution to this one.
I just switched to T-Mobile from AT&T, and brought over my SM-G900A.
When I put the SIM in at first, I got voice and SMS, but no data. I looked up APN settings, and created a fast.t-mobile.com APN using the recommended settings, except for APN protocol. Data now works, but still no MMS unless I disconnect from WiFI
MMSC is set to http : //mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc (no spaces)
APN Protocol is set to IPv4 (This is greyed out and cannot be changed to IPv6)
However, MMS only works when connected to data only, not WiFi. I cannot seem to find a way to make this work when connected to WiFi, which I would like to be able to do. Any ideas?
My thought is this might be related to WiFi calling being a native feature on T-Mo devices but not on AT&T. Thoughts?
Thanks guys!

My thinking is , is thats an internal thing with att software in the s5. Just because u switched to tmobile wont chang the software on the phone to tmobile even ur software updates to the phone will come from att not tmobile. I always have to have data on to send mms. I could be wrong but i think thats whats going on

You can achieve WiFi calling and Texting which will send MMS over WiFi by installing the alliance ROM. You first have to be on KitKat 4.4.4. After thay flash the ND3 kernal and install root via towel root, next install safstrap and flash alliance ROM and bam you should have WiFi calling and texting enabled. I am currently on the at&t s5 using T-Mobile.
I may have the links on my laptop if you need them. Just let me know.

So here's the deal.....I eagerly flashed 6.0 on Monday as soon as I got home from work. I'm on the MetroPCS $60 unlimited LTE plan w/ 6 GB of tethering.
After the update, I can't get tethering to work. It will turn on, and from the phone's perspective it works fine. I can connect to it with my Nexus 9....but no internet. I've rechecked and reentered my APN setttings several times now, still nothing.
Also relevant: I was unable to tether for a while on Lollipop. I rooted for a while and used a 3rd party app, which worked fine. Eventually I unrooted to use Android Pay, and found a change to the APN that made tethering work 100% stock(it involved changing the MVNO ID field to 6D38).
Everything was great right up until 6.0. I can't figure out what 6.0 changed that is making it not work. Maybe a permission? Was it the updated radio?

edit you apn. many tmo users got wrong apns on marshmallow as well. since tmo owns metro pcs, tmo was missing apn protocol which is ipv4/ipv6.
I already have that set.
Got it working. I ended up editing the build.prop and adding the noprovisioning=true line.
Nexus 6
Can you tell me how to do this on my nexus 6

I was using straight talk cdma with my unlocked nexus 6p and the hotspot was working great as always, then I get a new "sprint unlocked" note 9 today, flashed it to U1 firmware to get it to work with the same sim that is in my nexus and boom everything is working as expected but I lost hotspot functionality. I can turn it on and it acts like its working but my computer never sees the network. Any Ideas? I've been out of the game for awhile and I didn't know much to start with lol. Any help is much appreciated. This phone is sick, if I just had my hotspot back I would be in business. Ran though the process again with a factory reset but no dice.
Bump. Tried a couple more things with no luck, I wonder why hotspot worked so well with the same setup on the nexus phone but just fell completely off with this one. I have heard that you could lose some carrier functionality when flashing U1 like wifi calling, visual voicemail but I never head anyone mention losing the hotspot. This is one of the few features I would have a hard time living without since I've grown so used to having it. Any suggestions or something to try?
I had this issue when I had a tmobile note 9. Changed the apn type to default,supl,mms and it worked. Not sure if that really did anything but had the exact problem you are having. Maybe manually entering the apn is an answer for you.
Had this problem again after rolling back and doing the official upgrade. In APN Type, put * and save the apn. You will likely have to put in all new APN settings for your carrier. I couldn't edit the automatic one. Once doing this, tethering worked properly!

I don't have the option to add a new apn, its grey-ed out and I can't edit the automatic one.
Hi folks...
I set up my new Zenfone 8 to use as a WiFi hotspot. It doesn't work at all (I tried connecting with my computer, and with another phone, and I get no internet connectivity).
However, if I use my work's Samsung S20 or my old Sony XPeria XZ2 Compact, it works fine.
My work's on Verizon, my personal devices on AT&T.
The only things I can think are either:
1. There's a problem with the Zenfone 8 for use as a hotspot
2. AT&T is blocking that phone for use as a hotspot (tho' I don't know why they'd allow it on my XZ2 Compact - both are unlocked phones I didn't buy from AT&T)
Any ideas what might be going on here?

I dont know if this is what happened to you, but I have to changed my hotspot password to WPA2 instead of using WPA3

Yeah, I have it set up for WPA3 - I'll try WPA2 and see if it works!

Ok, just tried it. Also tried various other changes to WiFi Tethering settings.
Unfortunately, nothing ended up working.
I'll do my experiment using my old phone, and then, at worst, pay AT&T extra for the priviledge. :-(

Turn "Allowed devices only" off, if it's on - I needed net on my other phone because of a LAN network outage, and I just couldn't properly connect when this option was on.

Hi, Try following actions:
1. On all of your devices forget your hotspot network first
2. Setup hotspot without password first
3. Try to connect and test the connection
4. Once connection success, disconnect then change the security to WPA 2
5. Forget hotspot network again
6. Reconnect with WPA2 password
On my case somehow all of my devices need to forgot hotspot and re-setup hotspot. I don't know why but before forget and re-setup all my devices could connect but unable to browse internet
I use hotspot two days ago , i don't have time when i use it to find how connect with security so i disable security and it work fine
@hadi_rena @mick711 Unfortunately, none of these worked; I tried connecting to the Zenfone 8 from multiple devices, and though they connected to the hotspot, there was no internet connectivity. I'm presuming AT&T is blocking it and want me to give them more money to allow it.
Hey, Tim and perhaps others having this issue. I wanted to share my experience with being able to connect to the wifi hotspot on my Zenfone 8 but not having internet connectivity. In my case, my carrier is Consumer Cellular on the AT&T network.
Upon receiving my new Zenfone, I lost the wifi hotspot capability. I have heard that Consumer Cellular, and other carriers, require you to request that the wifi hotspot feature be enabled. For me, this wasn't the issue, as the feature worked fine when I switched my sim card back to my prior phone, a Sony Xperia XZ1. With the sim card in the Sony, I dug into the APN settings and discovered a few differences when compared to the default Consumer Cellular APN settings on the Zenfone. I first attempted to add a new APN to try out different settings on the Zenfone, but was puzzled why after creating a new APN, editing its settings, and tapping save, the APN was not saved to the APN list. I'm guessing that this is a Consumer Cellular block. Then, I decided to edit an existing APN, I believe it was called Tracfone. The settings which seem to enable the wifi hotspot function are the MVNO type and MVNO values. Another strange quirk is that when you edit these values and save the APN, all the other saved APNs disappear from the list. If you then change the MVNO values back and save the custom APN, the other APNs reappear, perhaps another Consumer Cellular effect? At first, I was concerned that changing these settings might interfere with or disable some network-related functionality, requiring a quick APN edit every time I wanted to use the wifi hotspot option, but I have not noticed any issues. I realize that these MVNO settings are related to carriers like Consumer Cellular that utilize the networks of other major carriers: AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, etc., so this fix might not work for everyone. I thought I would share it anyway. I have attached screenshots of my APN settings for reference.

Thanks for this! How did you know which values to use for MVNO Type and MVNO Value? I have AT&T, and those values are both unset for the AT&T access point.

I just tried the two settings that worked in my older Xperia XZ1. I've attached photos of the settings from that phone. Both configurations allow for wifi hotspot on my Zenfone 8, but I have only used the GID for any length of time. It seems that when you choose the MVNO type, it autofills the MVNO value, at least it does for me. I don't fully understand what these settings mean other than that they relate somehow to resellers. I just know that changing them allowed the wifi hotspot to work again for me. Someone else here would probably have a better explanation for it.
Edit: I found the following link that explains some of the MVNO settings.
