[Q] Motorola Defy Android 2.1 and Wifi Tethering - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I tried to respond to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000824 ...but the forum won't let me.
So I purchased a Motorola Defy MB525 direct, Android 2.1 and I'm in Australia trying to get either the Internet Tethering (which seems to be USB/Bluetooth only on Android 2.1) or the 3G Mobile Hotspot application provided my Motorola using wifi to work for me.
I can connect to my phones IP address via USB cable (using the latest Motorola driver and setting the USB to developer mode on the phone) and I can enable wifi and connect to the IP address of the phone through my wireless home network.
However, when I activate the tethering option, I get the first message screen, then press ok. After that, I immediately get the message:
"Warning
There is no valid tethering APN
Please contact the customer service to update your tethering APN."
When I activate the included 3G Mobile Hotspot application I get an error "Cannot setup data lin, please contact your provider".
I have two Optus Australia Access Point Names (APN's) that should be suitable:
1. Automatically populates from the Optus network if I click on reset APN's

APN: yesInternet

Can you access the internet on your phones browser directly using either of your APNs? It seems your problem exists because this is not possible. Tethering uses the internet connection from your phone to allow a computer to connect wirelessly.
I am from South Africa, here our APNs require a username and password, this could possibly be the case for you. Try internet as username and 1234 as password. Or just contact your service provider and tell them to send you the settings.

Defy Tethering
There seems to be a mix up in almost all forums where the term wifi is used. Home wifi is mixed with service provider wifi. Some American carriers website mentions the term "wifi" but it exclusively refers to internet via their network.
I have a Moto Defy, not rooted and recently updated to Froyo. I tether the phone to my laptop using Azilink and it works well on home wifi. I have not tried 3G hotspot as the charges are quite high where I live.
However under 3G hotspot on pressing menu one may find setup for "local" wifi with encryption like WEP and WPA for connecting the phone to laptop. This can be done even if the hotspot is disabled. But I could not get on the internet as there is no bridging mechanism between the network created by the above method and the home wifi connection between the phone and wireless router.
Can someone throw some light on the above please?
Surprisingly on a Chinese phone with Froyo usb tethring works well. While Linux detects "Auto USB" network, on Windows TAP-Win32 driver works well.

If you have a Phone which is already Activate then any ROM will work fine without SIM or GPRS / EDGE / Data but if you Wiped the Phone in Normal ROm it will not work without SIM and also Require Activation by Signing into Google A/c
This ROM can be used to over such thing and directly go to Android without Worrying
If Any buddy Realy want to Add his APN Setting into ROM
Please Share your Operators Setting
Name of Operator - Country - MCC - MNC - APN is least thing which is required

So how would we apply these settings to our own update? I don't need the date or indian settings but it would be nice to set up my wifi & then start setting up my phone?

You just have to Rename the attached ZIP as
update.zip
and put it in sdcard root directory and go to Recovery mode and flash it
You require rooted phone to do that.

I should have been more clear... I would like to know how you made that change? I wanna make the changes myself to learn
i live in the US so i dont have a need for this but it looks really cool!
I updated my phone. Thanks for that but i can't find any of the indian APN. I use idea here in Amritsar, Punjab but i have no luck. Can you post APN's for amsterdam, London, Canada, Switzerland, Australia, Italy and some other european countries because i have to go there every year for my business. If not european please add For Punjab Idea or Spice whatever they call it. Really like the skip activation method and really appreciate that. Now don't need to root again after a wipe.
Sounds great, I live in Romania and my orange credit card is empty so its great to flash without activating it later again.
now two questions.
can you also deactivate that myfav sends automatic emails to t-mobile?
Thats nerving also here in romania.
and for settings apn. if you like and make it also romanian confirm
just add APN:
Name: Orange
APN: internet
thats it.. quiet easy

Please note that in order to get settings marked by an asterisk (*) in the "Type of settings" field to work, you need to disable the other APN setting for that provider. Example: Telenor have two APN settings, one for MMS and one for Web. Due to restrictions in Android, only one setting can be used simultaneously, so if you want to use Web you need to edit the APN: field so that that pair of settings become useless. Ex. APN: "telenoredited" will not work and hence make the MMS settings work.
You can try to edit some of these settings so that you have all settings in one APN, but I have not tried this and do not know if it will work, but in theory it should, if the two different settings have the same APN fields in common.
Also note that I have only verified the O2 PAYG settings, as this I currently live in the UK. I will however verify the Telenor and perhaps the Netcom settings during Eastern in the beginning of April. These settings have however been reported working by other users of the internet.
Hope these settings will help
You can use 2 Different Setting in Android for Web as well for MMS, Just Create 2 Different APN Settings with Same MCC and MNC.
Just keep following
For APN of Web
type = default
and for APN for MMS
type=mms
Proxy Connection really dont work good for Android and iPhone as sony many Google Application may not work
So Please give me APN Setting for Telenor which dont use Proxy Address
hey ....... this firmware is really good .....the best thing i liked is skipping the reg process and that too in rc33. firmware i can apply themes that are cool ........ i could no tdo that earlier coz i had adp1.1 and there were no good themes ........ i plan to buy bulk of phones from US and sell it here in india at about 450-500$ with root and this firmware............ ppl did no tbuy it earlier coz of the reg process for which they had to buy data plans

Can you answer this Q: In side your build or ADP builds where are the files that allow you to skip activation and the sign in?

Anything else you guys need or any suggestions? I can't browse the web or send MMS. 3G icon is no longer at the top of the phone.
Thanks,
Did you change the Modem before or the kernel? that makes a difference too
diamond_dawg,
Afaik I didn't change that, not intentionally anyway. Is that baseband version correct? I thought it is supposed to end in JH7...or am i thinking of something else.

[Q] WAP Proxy seems blocked; trouble-shooting hints ?

Hi all.
I'm an embedded Linux developer but am relatively new to Android.
My phone, an LG Optimus Chic is network unlocked but not rooted. Running stock Froyo 2.2.1 as received from Bell Canada last week.
I have the ADB shell available, but not as root. I'm looking for any trouble-shooting hints about what to look for.
The problem: I'm trying to get WAP proxy working because I'm using an MVNO of Bell (Presidents Choice Mobile) that offers cheap unlimited mobile browsing and I refuse to pay the going Canadian rates for data.
But I think the WAP Proxy is blocked, on the phone and/or on the Bell network. With the same APN settings it works on a Bell SIM with a data plan (but using the WAP APN), but does not work with the PresChoice SIM with a UMB plan.
I tried the IP Data APN, but when using the PresChoice SIM it depleted my $10 prepaid account down to $0.35 very rapidly, LOL. But just doesn't work using the WAP APN.
Using "adb shell ping" I can see DNS resolution is OK and the ICMP pings work fine. Is there any Linux utility like wget or even some "cat" command I can use to try and trouble shoot this ? I'm also wondering if there's a place that network operators would usually customize something like this.
Thanks much ! Config is below: (BTW, full data APN is "pda.bell.ca")

There are probably specific APN's for your carrier alone. I'm also in Canada. I'm on SpeakOut. And they offer a very similar UMB plan. I had to punch in their APN codes (Google is your friend), and use an all called Proxydroid to force the settings through. That helped me. Just Google the settings, assuming there are any.

[Q] LG G pro 3G issue.

Hi guys, when you have time would you throw an eye on this thread.Merry Christmas to everyone, how are you?
I just bought recently unlocked AT&T made in Korea LG optimus G pro e980
The kernel is of AT&T because when i start the phone i see the logo of AT&T mobile.
I am on Walmart Family mobile plan they are OVN of T-Mobile. I am on unlimited text,data,talk plan, it is included 2 GB of 3G data.
The android version of the phone is 4.1.2, baseband version APQ8064,MDM9X15m Kernel 3.4.0, build number JZO54K,software version E98010k

On the top corner of the screen above the network coverage stays the letter "E" (EDGE) and the internet is very slow!
I've seen they are many AT&T brand applications are installed on the device like: at&t drive mode, at&t Locker, at&t Navigator e.t.c.
Please guys what you would suggest me what i have to do. Do i need to root, to unlock the boot loader, or to change the base bands to get the 3G coverage or what? I would be thankful if you answer me with links or step by step what i have to do, because i am newbie in this area, i have experience in desktop pc, laptops, some software and hardware knowledge, i am mint in smartphones.
ck.
I live now in Bryans Road, Maryland this area is 3G covered i already checked.
When i search on networks in the phone i also see signals from AT&T antennas like AT&T RAT:14,3,2 and three for Family mobile.
Thank you. Mr. Stark recommend me to change the preferred network to 3G or LTE in settings, i am still trying to find where is that in my phone, but can't find it

_________________
now while my data and every thing works as normal i have bypassed the provision pop up allowing me to use the hotspot. i connect fine to the laptop and am able to browse normally, but im a gamer, usually i would bridge/ share the data on the laptop via ethernet to the xbox but that doesnt work, nor does trying to connect via the hotspot using the wifi built in on xbox.
also i connected fine on a ipod touch and could browse web pages. but it seems when i went to go to the app store it just sat there trying to load but never showed anything. am i missing something? also tried connecting my smart tv but it said no internet. so basically all im able to do is connect via the hotspot to browse websites on devices, what would i need to do to get it to work with the xbox, tv, app store etc??? is it something in the APN settings?
I am rooted.
