I have a FUZE and today ever since I used CMInternetSharing and downloaded a 12 MB file (which isnt much, in detail it was a printer driver and i had to at the moment but i used windows to look which probably took forever searching various servers...god knows) point is I used it then and now my interent hasnt worked since then on my FUZE...i havent called att yet but does anyone think it could be that they cut me off of internet for somehow imagining that i was tethering???
try a soft reset, could solve the problem, idk why it doesnt work for you now after downloading a 12MB file because i always tether wireless all the time and i pull in around 100mb a day!(sometimes i download like 3 or 4 songs which is well over 20mb) and still manage to have internet on the tether or the phone....did u by any chance get the limited data plan? and how often do you usually tether?
No i have the unlimited $30/month i rarely tether and still usually pull about 100MB a month since im a college kid and have internet everywhere i go except a few days ago my router blew and the ethernet was being gay....
Reseting as we speak
EDIT: Still didnt work i guess i should just call ATT and ask them

what area are you from? because it might be just downtime for maintenance and 100mb a month is nothing, like i said 100mb usually everyday for me, if not, then the weekends which turns out almost 500mb for Fri-Sun
I'm in San Antonio and it wasnt network downtime or anything because the internet worked through Android just not through windows mobile ???? very strange.
I called ATT and they just guided me through a master reset....i was so frustrated even though i had nothing to lose on my device.
After a master reset my internet didnt work at first and then after trying it again in Android and it working like it did it later worked in WinMo.

I got my Fuze last night and the problem persists. AT&T is looking into it but seems to have no clue.
I can use the 3g data network for the weather app, Tomtom but when I attempt to load anything via Opera or IE it fails.
BUT if I load Wifi, then navigate to google.com for example, then turn off the wifi, the 3g data network starts to work. If I close opera and reload it the 3g data network stops working again.
Any ideas?

Which data plan did you have before you got the FUZE. I got my FUZE and the sales rep. who sold it to me took off all data since I opted not to go with the PDA package.
I called in and complained and the customer service rep. re-added MediaNet for me. Now I'm having the same issues you mentioned again. WTF is going on.
Just my two Cents
I would take it back and try another phone in the store. Mine works fabulous out of the box.
I had the iphone data plan. AT&T has a support ticket submitted but they seem to be clueless as to what is going on. I am signed up for the correct 30.00 dollar media net plan.
Who knows. They said they would call me back later today. I will let you know if they fix the problem. I have already done a hard reset and it made no difference.

For what it's worth, I had all kinds of strange data problems when I switched from my iPhone to my Tilt. Had to call AT&T several times before I got a tech who figured out that they had changed my data plan in one place but not another place so it was still picking up the iPhone data plan.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I unfortunately tried that already with no success. I probably have incorrect settings on AT&T's end in my account.

This is most likely the case. I am sitting in an area with full 3G signal and getting speeds of 20k/second. This is all after I switched to the FUZE from the Tilt which had a MediaNet Plan and now am on a PDA Personal plan.
This is Total BS.
Yes i have the SAME PROBLEM,
i used to have th $20 iPhone plan, because i had the original iPhone.
i went into the store and they upgraded my plan to the $30 Fuze plan.
But now i have the same problem, everything works fine on wifi, but when i go into Opera using 3G, it says
"ERROR!: The remote server refuses to perform the request"
and i tried using the Instant messaging application and i get "Request could not be complete (code: 403)
This is awesome. Back 2 years ago when they first rolled out 3G I would reliably get 900 Kbps on my TyTn. Now, here we are 2 years later and I can semi-reliably get 25 Kbps on my FUZE (when it decides that it wants to connect).
What area is everyone in btw?
In my area (Tyson's Corner, VA), AT&T's explanation is that there is "degradation on a few of the towers in that area". Take that for it's worth.
im in Miami Florida,
i have yet to call at&t, but i will in a few minutes
im having the same problem i got mines on nov 10 and i cant connect to opera or AIM over 3g

ok i just called at&t support.
and i told them my problem, and they noticed that i had the iPhone before i got the Fuze.
They transfered me to Technical support and they guy tried and fixed the network on the spot, but he said, that wat they needed to do is get the "iPhone" out of their network. Because the network still thinks im using the iPhone, so it uses a different type of data transfer.
He said this usually happens to ppl that have an iPhone and then switch to a "normal" phone.
He submitted a paper, that will get the iPhone information out of the network, and my Fuze should be working just fine in 24-48 hours, they said they will call me.

They just called me back and said the iphone was still listed in one of their systems on my account. So the iphone even in death haunts me. (ok it didn't die but I want to smash it)
She also said that my inconsistent data speeds are a result of an outage in my area that has been going on since the 6th of Nov involving 3 towers. They comped my data charge for the month so I guess I can't complain too much.
She said that she will call me at the end of the week to make sure everything is working. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

I'm having the same problem in Opera. Opera works fine on phone reset. Howvere, at some point, it just starts returngin the error message "The remote server refuses to perform the request..." The strange thing is that Push email, and my data connection in Garmin Mobile XT continue to work.
Between this issue and the GPS not working (without GPS Test), the Fuze is starting to be a pain in the butt.
Workaround
I have the same problem, where X number of hours after a soft reset, my phone's data connection no longer works. Following some advice I found on another forum, I've gotten a work-around, but it's not great.
The theory was that the phone's data connection is releasing it's IP, and the phone doesn't know it, so it's trying to reuse an expired IP. Pressing and holding the end call (upside down phone) button for a few seconds by default, terminates the data connection (color wheel comes up when this process is started). After that, internet seems to function again.
Anyone have a better resolution to this?

Sorry, but my resllution was to sell the Fuze and get an iPhone. No more data connection, GPS, battery life, or Bluetooth issues for me.
Is this true, that theres a charge of 14.99 if i want to use it with the G2x?? I just got this phone Friday and since then im not able to use it and i called and thats what the rep told me. Weird though because i switched from the G2, and had no problems using hotspot on that phone.
Also, anyone have a problem with the browser always redirecting you to web2go.com telling you of a 1.99 charge if you continue even though you have a data plan?? My girl also got the G2x this monday and this would be her problem. Brand new activated sim card, restarted the network by the rep. Updated her line with the phones IMEI, it should be register and all ready to go right? But ive called 4 times because of that, and they seem to just restart the network, then it starts working fine but couple hours later, the web redirects me to web2go for that 1.99 charge. So then i call again and happens all over again. Im gonna call one more time at 3am pacific time, since im work right now 1am but would like your answers and suggestions please. Thank you.

I am using EaglesBlood 2.3.5 and I can use my hotspot for free (although it counts to your monthly cap)

I know about the cap, im throttled right now.. But it just won't connect right anymore. It shows connected but if i highlight the signal bars by the clock with the mouse it shows no internet access

If you are throttled ten you areon 2 g edge ****. I suspect that the reason it is not working is because it is just too slow. I could be wrong. I know that when I get throttled I cant even stream sirius xm or pandora unless I am onwifi. I think the g2x is optimized for 4 g network. I have the unlimited internet with the 10 gig high speed plan I think it is called ultra. I have never had a problem. I would wait till your cycle resets and see if it works.
All you have to do to get hotspot to work is to root your phone. And it counts against your data usage.
If your phone is on 2g, your tethered device will frequently get DNS timeouts.
I've never seen the web2go $1.99 msg - bummer.

Maybe you guys are right about being to slow but i wasnt capped until Sunday. New phone was Friday.. And as soon as i switched from g2 to the g2x that day, hotspot stopped. Also forgot to mention that it connects but with an exclamation point on the signal bars on the laptop

Story time...
I picked up a used infuse a few days ago and it came with S 7 on it. Everything works fine except for the mute first call issue, but I wanted to try a different rom. Flashed three different roms and I am unable to get a data connection with any of them.
I know I must be having a noob moment and I did a few searches and came up empty. What am I doing wrong?
You have to turn on packet-data(data enabled) settings/wireless/mobilenetworks
If that doesn't work, what ROMs did you flash? Might help in answering your question.
Yes I checked packet data.
And I tried cm7, Infused, and dlev.
restored S7 and I have data again, and there is nothing in vpn.

It might be an issue with your data plan. I had a Tilt 2 and have a grandfathered unlimited data plan. Wife upgraded to the Infuse and decided it is not for her. That is why I am using it. When I use my SIM in the Infuse, the phone function works but there was no data connection. WIFI would work but 3G data does not. I ended visiting an AT & T store to get it resolved. The folks at the store could not solve the issue and it was solved by someone they called. In short I was told that my data plan was for PDA (I once had Palm Treo). I would need to change my plan. I asked about “changing my plan” and was told I would lose my unlimited data plan. I told them “NO”. Even though, I only use about 2-3 GB per month, I do not want to lose my unlimited plan. Told them I have been with AT & T since they took over from L.A. Cellula and currently was at the end of my contract. The girl at the other end of the phone asked her supervisor and it was done. I got to keep my unlimited data plan.
I have no idea what is the difference between the plans but looking at my phone bill the old data plan is listed as GPRS WAP UNLTD DOM – DPPB. The new data plan is listed as GPRS WAP UNLTD DOM - HSDPPB.
The 2 year old SIM card was not replaced and it works fine in the new phone. You might need to visit AT & T store or call the Customer Service center.
Infuse needs a different data plan.....need to call AT&T...
Sent from my Samsung Infuse 4G - 1.6ghz
The data connection works fine on the S7 rom that it came with, just not an anything that I have put on it.
I have a data plan. I am moving to the infuse from a Backflip before that I had an Incite. All of them were modded, so I am not new to digging around in software. I do need a push in the correct direction form time to time.
I am on HSDPA now with UCK13
Well I've tried all of those on my phone and personally I think S7 is a fantastic rom CM7 and Dlev are great but are known to have data issues, if you've got data on S7, stick with it for now lol
Add miui to the list of roms without data connection. I also did a fresh flash of S7 and it is ok, nothing else will connect to data.
Should I flash a modem? That part is new to me I did not have that on the backflip.
Ok so after digging for a few days I figured it out.
I had to manually set APN for it to connect to data.
Does anyone know if it is like that because it is built off of a Rogers rom?
Hi, I'm on three network in the UK, and I used to be able to tether my phone (when I got the contract, I made a point of asking and the sales guy let me know that I can do so no prob BUT I forgot to get it in writing *head, meet desk)
Anywho, now when I try to tether, I get cut off from the net and have to reboot the device or go into then out of airplane mode to get reconnected. The only way I can think that three can tell I'm connecting through my laptop instead of my phone is that the packets from the laptop will be different enough. If they have even basic sniffers, they can cut me off when something changes.
My question is, is there a program that will tether and encrypt/change packet headers/strip identifiers/tunnel to the net? Im keeping this vague coz Im open to ideas. I need some help because when I called three about this, they told me to go into the store AND GET A SECOND FULL PRICE CONTRACT THAT ALLOWS TETHERING. Of course they wont cancel my current 24 month contract (18+ months left on it) and I almost laughed at the very helpful representative until I realized he was serious. I could do it fine when I got it, regularly used 50+ gigs a month so its not like I was hiding it or just sneaking a few bytes here and there.
SOLVED
Ive been searching for weeks but today I stumbled on an article about Pdanet. Installs a program both on your phone and your mobile AND the new version has the option to strip identifying information. Its perfect and I hope this info helps someone

just curious, what price plan are you on with, because i am on the sim only one plan and i can tether, without any problems, no problem with download speed or anything, i can even hotspot at the same time and the speed is still the same, maybe it could be the phone who knows....but i am interested with the software you talking about i might need that when i try and tether the new 4G, when it comes out, i hear that three is not going to include that in there AYCE service...

Worked great yesterday, tried this morning and no matter what I pick, hot-spot, USB tethering, or Bluetooth it all gets stuck on verifying Internet connection and after a minute pops up saying Internet was not detected on my phone.
Nothing updated that I know of, phone 4g runs great, foxfi worked fine last night, I've tried reinstalling and no luck.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
I am having same issue on verizon unlimited data. Just started this morning too. Rebooted nothing, deleted foxfi certificate nothing, deleted and redownloaded foxfi nothing. If this is verizon again... I... well, I'm pissed off.
Yeah this is killing me. Without foxfi I'm screwed for internet, I have only one company available in my area for dsl or fiber but they want $61 for 6mb down and 1mb up and first and last month payment... Yeah...
And that's the "cheap" package.
I'm up and working again
curious as to why the foxfi app when there's a stock verizon app already installed.?????
Foxfi allows me to use the to use the hotspot on my phone for free, this way I'm not stuck with an additional monthly fee and a datacap on the hotspot with data I already pay for.
I've always viewed it as them double dipping.
