sorry for my english (using Google Translate)
lyumia 822 unlocked: GSM use the SIM card - not working "Internet Sharing" (tethering). Why? What can be done?
What's the error message? "Not working" tells us nothing much.
Also, isn't the 822 primarily a CDMA phone? I mean, yeah it has a SIM slot and apparently it supports GSM as well, but it seems odd to buy a phone that's basically a CDMA variant instead of one that's intended primarily for GSM networks.
One quick check: is your data connection working in general at all? You might have to tell it to use the GSM network instead of looking for a CDMA one.

Verizon 822 is a LTE phone, all Verizon LTE phones NEED a SIM card to run (Verizon is changing to a full SIM card model with LTE...it's about time) and it is factory unlocked (All Verizon LTE phones are SIM unlocked).
To the OP, the Verizon 822 has internet sharing disabled from the carrier, the only way to enable it is to contact Verizon on their network to use it. I know of no hacks of any type to enable it (if someone knows, let me know, I am interested too)
It seems to work fine out of box on the 928, but I have no idea if that is actually hard coded. I remember that for WP7, everyone had to download

I have a 928, it tells me I need to ennable it from my carrier if I want to use it. Are you using Verizon and do you have "tethering" enabled on your account or did you find a work-around for it ?
I would love to use it without paying another $20-30 a month when I only need it every once and a while.

No, unfortunately. We have their share everything plan. 20GBs of data including our HomeFusion thingy. I tried to look inside ##PST#, along with the 000000 password, but none of the fields can be changed on the 928. Any luck on yours?

No, I am on the unlimited plan still with me 928...I can't edit anything. Maybe Verizon changed the password for editing permissions?

By FCC law they are supposed to either use the 000000 code or 123456. Its because of one of the bands they use require this as well as all devices being carrier unlocked. It seems though they moved the settings into the sim, so the only way it might be able to be modified is through the Qualcomm boot loader which hasn't been pursued yet.

Just sharing my experience, running 8.1 on nokia lumia 822 in Guatemala with TIGO operator and was having the same issue reported on first post, internet sharing option just hanged and it did not work, today I just install access point app, made sure my TIGO APN settings were detected just by opening and seeing it, went to internet sharing and it finally worked. easier that what expected it was going to be.
So before anyone flames me for asking about using a Sprint S6 Edge on Verizon, I'd like to clarify that I convinced Verizon to add my IMEI to their database. I have voice, text and data access (but no LTE and always shows as roaming). My phone is carrier unlocked (obviously) and rooted.
Now that I've gotten that out of the way, here are my questions:
- How can I re-program my phone to recognize Verizon as the default provider? Or is there any way to flash the Verizon firmware on the phone (aka make the phone a Verizon phone)?
- I'm hoping to be able to connect to Verizon's Band 4 LTE since I understand the SM-G925P to have the Band 4 radio. How can I connect to it?
- I can't view/access the APN settings and so I can't manually add the Verizon APN settings because of some "profile does not have access" issue. How can I give myself access?
Thanks in advance!

Most Sprint phones have an unlockable bootloader so I would assume this one does as well. Why not flash a Verizon rom?

I'm interested to see if this works fully. It looks like all Sprint Samsung's can be sim unlocked and bootloader unlocked so this could be a solution to getting unlockable Samsung phones on Verizon once again.

Any update on this? I am in the same boat. I was able to add the Verizon APN's and I am still having the issue of not being able to connect to the 4G LTE. BTW the roaming icon on the phone I think is just the software being programmed for the Sprint network and sees that you connecting to Verizon as roaming. If you check the SIM status, it will show that it is currently not roaming.
Any updates on this?

I want to switch from my iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S6 Active. What steps are involved? I'll need to activate the new SIM on my network (TMobile) and change the APN settings right? I read there will be AT&T bloatware on the Active that will interfere with my network access? If so, how do I remove it?
I'm completely new to working with cell phones, so any advice/help would be very much appreciated. :good:
I have an unlocked S6A on T-Mobile. The bloatware doesn't interfere with anything. And you can disable them in application manager anyway. The only way to remove them is to root. But disabling should be good enough in most cases anyway.

So I can just take the Active to a TMobile store and they'll take care of everything? I don't have to change any settings?

They may or may not set the APN settings for you if the SIM card doesn't already have them. I used TMO with my unlocked S6A but I can't recall if the APN settings were automatic or not. Either way, it's stupid easy to add the APN.

NO issues here in UK with S6a on Three and EE(tmobile)... Popped Sims in and worked straight away... No need to input DATA/APN settings as worked... We disabled Bloatwear... Before Disabling it we had no issues... Disabled as was a waste of space and kept requiring updates which took up more space.
You won't have an ideal experience. The S6 Active supports LTE bands 2/4/12, but not T-Mobile's VoLTE, and T-Mobile is rapidly phasing out its older technologies on certain bands in favor of VoLTE and minimal legacy voice support. Band 12 - which it is currently using to cover rural areas and for building penetration - is VoLTE only, so there might be situations where you have LTE data but won't be able to place or receive calls.
This is what happened me. Is there any way to fix ie. root or something ?? I cant recieve calls
I receive every other call. If I have wifi off, I can see I don't get the call when on LTE. The next comes in, the phone drops to E, and then it rings.
So sorry if this was common knowledge but I haven't seen anything on this yet so I thought I'd share. I decided to try setting up AT&T's number sync between my new mate 10 pro and my LG Sport and it worked. What makes that amazing is this is the first non att branded phone I have ever been able to set up directly between the phone and a att smartwatch that didn't require me using a att branded smartphone in the middle. You can't find the ability to do it through the my att app or website but if you initiate through the watch, it will open the browser on your phone and then give you a number sync code, once you log in through the browser, you put in the code and then accept terms and it will successfully link. This phone also seems to work well with the LG Sport. Battery life is waaay better then when it's paired to my Att Note 8.
FYI, Att number sync allows multiple devices to receive a phone call or text message from the main line they are tied to. That way every thing is seen from one number. One of the requirements is that the phone must be Att branded.
So that tells me between this and VoLTE working on att with this phone, this phone was all but ready for att network and only thing missing was the att branding on the phone before att backed out.
Sorry if long l, just wanted to share to maybe help other att users.
Have you been able to get/verify that VoLTE is working on your mate 10 Pro? If yes, how did you verify it works? I have a Dual Sim 10 Pro rebranded to the US 10 Pro (did at Best Buy) with the Enhanced Voice and VoLTE options enabled. Thanks.

I didn't use the default apn that sets up when I had my att sim inserted. I used the settings from att's support page: https://www.att.com/esupport/article.html#!/wireless/KM1218306
If I remember, there were a few subtle differences. Honestly, I didn't notice if VoLTE was working before the new apn settings but I see that it works for sure with the new apn settings. My status doesn't change from LTE whether on call and/or browsing.

well, not working for me... i used an app to validate data connection during phone call and when connected to a call, data drops to HSPA+.

Hmmm...visually the LTE symbol dosesnt change and I think it sounds like it should. What's the app you used? I'll check and see if I get the same thing.

So I made a phone call with the app running and it showed under the raw tab:
Voice NW: LTE
Data NW: LTE+
So I'm guessing its working.

No problem. I was thinking, you said you rebranded to us but I wonder if by a slim chance there is some hardware difference that is dectected? Like maybe a certain band att uses. I haven't looked at the differenceces in bands between models.

Cellular bands are the same as US version; when not in a call I connect to LTE+. I can achieve cellular download speeds of 98 Mbps. Main difference between US version and mine is my phone is dual SIM Mate 10 Pro. The second SIM connects to 4G when I make a call. If I use only 1 SIM, connection drops to HSPA+. I see an option to enable VoLTE on the second SIM, but it's disabled. Have you to find a way to enable it. I appreciate your feedback, thanks again.

As you probably know, mine only has one Sim slot and when I go to settings and drill down into the mobile network options, under 'Advanced' Enhanced LTE Services is already enabled.

i have the same setting/option and it's also enabled; see below. will contact at&t again tomorrow.
Anyone have the lg v40 running on at&t? surprisingly i have no options under mobile networking. I can only enable international data roaming and setup new apn. Usually i'd expect to see settings allowing me to change the bands.

Everything is auto- , the phone I have is locked to att and I guess the only way to change that is to unlock the phone.

It bounces off 2 things, the phone's props and the network being detected. Using the unlocked does not enable settings if it's not natively supported by the carrier contrary to popular belief. That was true on older versions of android. Newer ones relies on multiple configs to decide what options you get to see or not. In most cases, if the phone model is not what is expected for a particular network, it will default to global roaming mode that has the least set of options. From what I've seen, this comes as a result of carriers requesting to have specifically designated models tailored to their service.
If you are rooted, you can tweak stuff in build.prop to have the phone switch carrier and regional modes.

root not needed:
1. for network mode, try dial *#*#4636#*#* and then phone information, this works on my v35 with tmo and att sim, you can also use a 3rd app called "network mode" which is a shortcut of the above, hope that works on v40 too.
2. for band selection, I use 277634#*# on v30(tmo unlocked) for both tmo and att sim; I use 277634#*# on v35 (both att unlock and usa unlock) for tmo sim; I use *#546368#*350# (need to dig into the menu to find band selection) on v35 (both att unlock and usa unlock) for att sim; hope either one of these two works for v40.
