The other day me & my brother were able to video chat on Qik using our data plans. Last night we tried again & now neither of us can connect over data, just over wifi. We get errors saying unable to connect to server. It can't be a localized problem either because I'm in AZ & he's in TX.
I know they just blocked it for Google Talk video chat as well.
So, can you still connect using your data plan?
has anyone or will anyone else test this out for me? please and thanks
Same thing happened to me. It used to work fine up until i did a hard reset and then it stopped working. I did a search on qik's website and this seems to be.a.common problem with many devices.

Ok. I wondering now if anyone with tmous can connect over data.
I used Qik for over 30 minutes on Friday night with no problems. I was on 4g, my fiance was on wifi Gtab

My Qik does nothing but force close. Latest updates and All.
setup ssh tunneling or a vpn - if you have a system at home that is always on and decent speeds it's an easy way to use your 4g connection for what you want to do

I know that AT&T blocks customers from seeing certain apps in the market. I tried searching. Is there a list of these apps somewhere or does anyone the specific type? I know tethering apps are one area they want to keep us away from.
Dont know if this still works but it did ....... Turn your wifi off, put phone in airplane mode, then turn your wifi back on (leave phone in airplane mode so your not connected to the ATT network) and the ATT blocked apps will show up.
Try this it works for my x10 which is a fellow att phone

That actually works really well. Got to look at a few tethering apps.

Couldn't you just take you SIM card out? Using WIFI to connect to the market ofcourse
So based upon what I'm reading, the only apps being blocked by AT&T are tethering apps?
No there are a few others that are blocked. Some music apps, video apps and such.

I think AT&T is able to tell if you are tethering. Which is what they also did with Jailbroken iPhones. So be careful not to get the plan added on automatically if they find out.

Seems like its much easier to activate airplane mode, than to remove the sim card.
Just be careful when tethering, even if you check usage you can still go over and not know it! AT&T can tell by data usage as well. I agree on the Non Inspire 2.3.3 ROMs

As for the unlimited data, no idea. There was a thread here about using an iPhone 2g but I'm not sure how valid it is.
Does anyone else see their 4G connection go to idle after a while ?
If I turn on 4G, after not very long at all, my icon goes to one with 3 dots, and when I check my 4G network settings, it says 4G Networks --> Sprint --> Idle.
I have no connection whatsoever to the internet, and therefore have no push gmail/fb/twitter etc.
This does not happen on 3G/Wifi.
this can't be normal right ?
That is normal. Idle for 4g is the same as your send and receive arrow animation on 3g not doing anything. It is connected but there is nothing to send or receive, so it is "idle". I've stay connected to irc for hours on end with 4g and it "idled" constantly.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
Hmm. I'm not sure I agree.
When my connection is on idle, I get no email or anything.
If I go to wifi or 3G, it instantly pushes through emails.
I tested this by sending myself an email when it was idle. It didnt come through. Turn off 4G, and go to 3G, and it goes through.
This may actually not work correctly and a request from gmail push system does not wake the 4G WiMax connection properly. It works ok when the phone is requesting internet but not the other way around. I think they'll need to fix that eventually with a radio update.
Call and report. That's the only way they'll do it.

Was on KushDeck. Looks like I'm getting the same thing on CM7 as well.
Sent an email from my work email to my Gmail account. My Chrome browser got it almost immediately, and my phone is sitting on idle with nothing.
UPDATE.
6 minutes and counting. Nothing on my phone. Still on idle.
Is it something to do with my settings perhaps ? It seems to be fine on 3G ?
OK, I'm getting somewhere.
And I can sort of see where the issue is, I think.
When I'm on 3G, my phone signal is green, and my 3G bars are aklso green (connected to Google)
Push works when I'm like this.
When I'm on 4G, my phone signal is white (not connected to Google) therefore there is no push signal..
I'm tested this thoroughly this morning and I'm convinced this is the case.
This happens on all my ROMS (CM7/Kushdeck and Soju)
I'm going to call SPrint.

Sprint are clueless here, and keep telling me New York doesn't have strong signal, and that's why it goes idle.
Hey Sensation community !
Since 2 days my mobile network stopped working, I tried ALOT of "solutions" which I found here but all of them didn't help at all...I even flashed a new rom + fireware, radio, etc...
I used the search function before I started this thread but I only found little threads with like 3-5 replys and they weren't even usefull - even outdated.
So to be more detailed, my mobile network icon pops up nomally after turning it ON but only the upload arrow is filled which means if I open the browser or any app it won't work cause there's actually no connection to the internet.
I checked my APN which is fine. Most of the people say : Fix your APN and it should be fine. - Great -_-
Phone informations:
HTC Sensation
ROM: Android Revolution HD 6.7.2 by mike1986
Adroid 4.0.3
HTC Sense 3.6
I'd appreciate it if somebody could help me fixing this annyoing issue.
If you need some more details about the phone let me know

One more thing to say.
If I'm using "GSM only" the internet works but it's hekka slow -_- As soon as I switch to GSM / WCDMA auto "H" shows up only with the upload arrow on and the internet stops working.
Guess nobody knows how to fix this crap.... :/
I tried putting the sim in a different phone and it still didn't work. Might be a sim card issue or Tmobile are having trouble, for me anyway

I can be pretty sure it's not the SIM cause I tested it on a UMTS/HSDPA Surf-stick and the internet works with it. It has to be the phone itself.

Positive, as long as you have ANY sort of data plan. If you're on the pay per megebyte play your screwed if you use the net at all. I've been tethering with my phones for about 3 years now on t-mobile with plans that don't allow it.
Does anybody know about using the wifi tethering for Cincinnati Bell? With unlimited data do we get away with tethering without being noticed or charged?
where did you get the app to wifi tether? I am not seeing the sprint icon that would normally be there...do i have to get the rooted wifi tether app? Can't believe there is no voicemail icon either....weird.

You can access voicemail settings when inside the phone app, just bring up the menu-->settings-->voicemail
And the tethering is (from the homescreen) menu-->settings-->more-->tethering and portable hotspot

Edit: that should be need aome help BEFORE an FXZ...
I've mentioned this in a few threads and nobody else seems to have the same problem...
Ever since rooting and updating to 4.4 I have not been able to send an MMS with WiFi enabled...the phone will not kick over to 4g to send the message...
- If I turn WiFi off they send fine
- I can receive them fine with WiFi on or off no problem...
I have not don't a factory reset, but this seems like it would be a system issue which a factory reset won't help...I don't want to FXZ because I'll lose root...but its becoming annoying to deal with...
So hopefully SOMEONE can help me lol

I have two suggestions. Try switching from Global to LTE/CDMA. If that doesn't work try to send one with your ad blocker disabled, assuming you use one. Seems strange but some people on Verizon forums say it solved the same issue you describe on the S4.
Also wondering if you use the LTE OnOff app and set it to CDMA (auto) if it would send. Maybe you have low 4G signal at home? I have low signal at my home but my phone always finds the 4G signal. However it's rare I can get any data from it. I get better reception with 3G. I know you said it sends fine over 4G with wifi off but might be worth experimenting with.
