I tried searching for wifi hotspot on forums and found no information.
wifi hotspot does not work. I am using the xda special hellmonger rom on WIND Mobile Network
Could someone please steer me in the right direction? thank you in advance

Try changing Apn settings. Although I never tried Xda special, when I was running Froyo erasing Apn settings solved the WiFi hotspot problem. It should be something like "default/supl". Good luck!

I think Wind pulled the plug on that.
To the OP.. you can use wireless tether app if your phone is rooted.

Hi guys,
I've got my phone back after repair (they did a boardswap because of broken emmc chip.). Everything seemed fine, but it couldn't connect to mobile internet. I saw that there weren't any APN settings so I called Vodafone and they gave me the right settings. After configured everything correctly it could connect, but it only could connect sometimes and if it did it was only G or E connection.
I'm currently running MIUI rom and with it you can easily configure it that it only uses 2G network. While using this internet ALWAYS works. When using 3G preferred, internet barely works.
So is there an option I am not seeing or did they give me a broken motherboard (and is there way to check this)?
Help would be greatly appreciated!

Sounds like its only configured to use 2G, so on a Stock (sense) ROM like mine you would need to set the
Settings->Wireless & network->Mobile networks->Network Mode = GSM/WCDMA auto
Otherwise you could try the debug mode by typing this into your PHONE *#*#4636#*#* the full number which should take the phone into debug mode where you find similar settings
Thanks for your reply! I'm using the settings you recommended and have set my *#*#4636#*#* to wcmda preferred but stil no succes. internet only works with GSM only but only 2g...

Are you sure that your network are not having a problem with 3g themselves?
can you use another phone, same network to prove that the 3g network in your area is working correctly?
Otherwise sounds like an APN issue? could you take it into a vodafone shop?
Have you tried a Hard reset and clean new setup?
I have perfect connectivity using the same SIM on my xperia x1. Hard resetting doesn't seem to do the trick. I think i'll take it to the vodafone shop (don't hope i need to send it in for repair AGAIN)
Thanks for your help anyway!

It may have come back with old stock/unsuitable radio. Tried changing that?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
The radio was the correct one, BUT it seemed to have fixed the problem itself... I was in the Vodafone shop and I was explaining the problem and there it was doing it correctly... Quite emberassing but i'm glad i've got a fully working phone.
Can some one explain why my phone keeps going back to tmobile's apn and will not connect to the net unless i have tmobiles apn as one of my apns,...

Are you sure Simple Mobile doesn't use T-Mobile's network? I'm in Canada so I have no idea.
yah they do but i get dropped data when they switch back or most of the times it doesnt work until i put it back to the simple apn

Which one is it? You say that it doesn't work without TMobile's APN in the first post and in the second you say it works only without Tmobile's APN.... Anyway, I know that here in Canada, Virgin Mobile uses Bell's network, and so you need to use Bell's APNs.
the problem is that it doesnt matter what apn you ad ... the phone restores back to the orighinal apn that came with the phone which is t-mobile's apn
What rom you use.

Yah you need to root and maybe use apn back/restore see if that does the trick... If your stock then try custom rom they usually have. Simples apn built in to choose from

I doubt that, I have a TMobile branded phone and use it on WIND everyday without a hitch
I have my phone rooted with cm7 1.0.1 .. some times all my apn's just get deleted by itself and I have to hit reset to default apn then I have to manually enter them in agian

My wife's G2X (on Simple Mobile) had this issue on her stock ROM. Simple Mobile's Facebook page suggested installing APN Manager (free) which I did, and it worked great -- was able to delete the 'Tmobile' APN and leave only the Simple APN.. and its also backed up just in case things go wrong it will restore.
I am also going to test this out on my CM7 issue, where the APNs just disappear and work again on reboot. Maybe the APN manager will help me restore without reboot. This is with Tmobile -- no Simple Mobile even involved.
I had the same issue, and I use simple mobile. With weapon G2x ROM, whitehawkx's, it solved the issue. By default there is T-mobile's which cannot be deleted or edited. I also tried "MIUI 2.1.13 Stock w/ Trinity Kernel" which worked without any issue, just have to turn off auto selection on APN. It detected automatically the APN settings for simple mobile. Even if it is the old one(APN settings for simple mobile), it works. Simple mobile changed their settings, they made it more simple. I used this ROM for almost one day, there were no issue as I am telling, except my internal SD card, which was not available.
Try weapon G2x, see if it works for you.

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.

I'm running 4.4.2 on my LG G2 for AT&T
My wife just got the same phone and her phone shows 4G/LTE Mine shows only 4G
I checked our APN settings for both and they're the same
I checked through the 4636 code through the phone and it shows only the HSPA letters where hers shows up once again with LTE
ANY advice would be great
Try turning data off then on again, it will force it to search for the network.

i tried that one...and i tried the 4646 code and theres no option to change the NETWORK type...this friggin sux...no LTE on this phone and only "4G"...been tryng to figure this one out..
any advice much appreciated.
Maybe replace it?
If this is a new phone that you haven't tampered with, I suggest that you exchange it. New phones don't need any change in settings to connect to LTE out of the box.
Maybe it's a hardware problem. Did this problem just appear out of nowhere? (maybe after the update)?
Like the poster above if its stock return it otherwise reflash to stock to confirm the issue is still there, here's another thread dealing with the same issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2702386

you might be 'ROAMING'
this happens to me. i think theres no att tower near me, i think they use someone elses lte tower, but half of the android phones ive used need roaming enabled to connect to lte in my area. try that it might work.. its in the normal settings app under networks enable all roaming. never had any extra charges. att covers the nation and doesnt count local roaming.
BUT i agree with this guy if my suggestion doesnt work

I am using inbuilt tethering app to create wifi access point from my phone. Try that it should work. Not sure why you need 3rd party app for wifi tethering.

You just setup the hotspot, it is pretty straight forward. Just give it a try.
I am on T Mobile USA so wifi tethering is part of my plan. You will have to keep it on or can try some hacks on the net. I haven't tried them though.
