when running on a stock rom with my factory unlocked tmobile sensation everything was working fine, yesterday i loaded up insertcoin, which provides apns for the network, data worked better but this morning when i was going to send a text it said unable to send, im in a covered area, can make calls and use web, but no text. or at least i can receive but not send. so i loaded up the stock rom to copy the apn settings, then restored my insertcoin backup, input the new or "old" apn setting that use to work on stock, and i still cant send sms. ive used the apn settings from meteor but that doesnt work either. does anyone have this problem? or if anyone is on metoer here in ireland can you paste your apn settings? could it be a different radio with the new rom???? should i try another rom to see if that helps? thanks in advance, i would like to get down to the centre for aurthers day with sms so i can txt people on where to be!!
update 1:
so i installed leedroid from the rom manager, it was quick, only 6 megabites or something? confuses me... anyways setting up new phone. sms works now! i checked the apn and it happens to be the same other then the authentication which metoer says set to pap and leedroid has it not set at all, other then that it seems to be working great. might just stick with this. insertcoin was really nice though. if anyone has any info on how/why it wasnt working on insert coin that would be great, as i still have the backup and still want to use it. looks like aurthers day is saved!
Ok guys, here is a temp fix for you to continue using the mobile hotspot. But I am not sure how long it will be able to work until it gets blocked.
Go to Settings
Mobile network
Access Point Names
New APN
set the name
set the APN to: epc.tmobile.com
save
after you save, select the new APN you created instead of T-Mobile data.
Anyone mind confirming?
yeah please confirm if this helped anyone

Bigger question is what is the new APN? epc has been the updated apn for a long time since the days of wap/internet2/3
ziddey just create the new APN with epc.tmobile.com and save it as is without any additional changes.

try it and see if it works. i'm not sure why it does but it does. you won't get the t-mobile launch page asking you to pay.
I can confirm named it the bs fix

Actually, this does work. The only difference I can see between the APN that was on the phone and the new APN created is the following:
Original APN
APN Type: default,supl,admin,hipri
Newly created APN
APN type: Not Set
I have no clue what this means, but that is the only difference I see and the newly created APN does in fact work and allow me to tether over 4G.
Also, I had purchased EasyTether a while back to use on Sprint with my HTC Hero (before I learned to root a phone), and easytether also works using a USB cable.
Thanks to the OP for finding this!!
remove admin from apn type.
Found a possible issue with this fix. When I have the newly created APN enabled, I cannot send an mms. When I select the original APN and try and resend the mms, the mms goes through.
Anyone have suggestions?

thanks for pointing that out jtress, will try to look into it.
edit: jtress i was testing it out and it does work with the current settings. i'm not sure why you are having problems with mms. does anyone else have this issue with the mms not going through?
I have no problem either

Does this still work? I've tried it and it didn't work for me when trying to go to amazon.com. I've also tried deleting the default apn and removing the apn type. I've even tried using wap.voicestream.com as the apn. So far nothing works.
My issue with the APN and not being able to send MMS, may have something to do with me being on Tmobile prepaid plan.
I can live with it this way. I very rarely use the tethering. So, if all I have to do is go in to the settings and switch the APN for the few minutes I use the tethering, I can live with that
tethering workarounds
Regarding the new tethering block, there are a few other workarounds that worked for me.
1) Change your user agent string to something mobile on your browser
2) Browse through an encrypted proxy (work VPN works great for me)
3) Use the internet for things other than HTTP and you'll be fine. (HTTPS works fine)
Confirm that it worked for me. I entered the new APN and restarted the phone and now it works like it did before. Thanks!
hey guys, does the usb tether still works after the update?
Wow I feel both dumb and extremely happy all at the same time but I got it to work! I never restarted the phone before so I guess my phone never properly set up the APN.
The way I got it to work:
1. Selected Default T-Mobile Data APN
2. Delete all of the information from the APN type
3. Reboot Phone
Thanks for reminding me to do the simple things!
Looks like the fun is over...
I had been using Wifi tethering for root users and it seemed to allow me to use it just fine. All of a sudden this morning it stopped working and I got a push notification to my phone about mobile hotspot access being blocked. Came here, found the APN settings in this thread and tried it. Worked for about 30 seconds before the same thing happened again.
Looks like they are being pretty hardcore about it now...
Anybody else experiencing this or know how to get around it still?
I currently flashed and activated the Epic 4g (Sph-D700) on the cricket network, and everything was working good. But stupidly I flashed the Cyanogenmod 7 RC3 for the Epic 4g on Sprint network thinking the 3g would work. But ever since then I could never get the 3g working anymore.
Tried many steps; from QPST, APN settings, returning to stock, flashing CM9 Beta 4 on cricket, CM7 for Cricket, trying many ways in many forums to fix 3g, and returning to Cyanognemod 7 RC3 on Sprint and trying to fix it from there.
don't know what to do anymore. I installed an app like root explorer for free and messed with the apn. Tried to mess with the hap secret going to system, etc and reaching ppp. Tried installing the epic 4g different cell phone company fix flash file, the i905 data fix and no luck. I tried using CDMA workshop and QPST and tried a bunch of PRLs and the 3g icon wouldn't even pop up.
The PRL that worked with 3g cricket was 42700 one. Flash cyanogenmod 7 screwed it up. I even used voice dials to open APN and nothing. Even dialed ##8778# and set it back to PDA. Tried dialing #data and mess the settings there. Does anyone have a back up of the apn settings on cricket where the 3g works? I currently have thr $55 plan .
I noticed that on cm7 and cm9 the connection goes to 1x and no 3g connection. Also noticed that I keep losing signal and sounds like its updating PRL.
If anyone can help, please
All right, so, I have tried everything I can think of, but nothing has worked, so I decided to try asking here. I am have been on the CM10 builds for about a week, and I am loving them. I never really liked sense, so an AOSP JB rom is great (aside from the battery life). Before CM10, I was on ViperXL, and LTE worked fine, but after switching to CM10 (or any other AOSP roms) it just stops working. I can get everything else, Edge, 3G, and HSPA, but LTE just won't work. Just a couple hours ago I did a wipe and a clean install of the October 3rd nightly, and I am still having the issue.
One thing I haven't tried is flashing a 4.0.3 rom, and then the CM10 rom, but the FAQ says that issue has been fixed so I doubt it would help.
Anyway, thanks in advance for the help!
Check your APN settings. These settings worked for me.

I've had the exact same issue. I'm on Rogers too. I've double and triple checked the APN (ltemobile.apn) and it is definitely correct. I first noticed this on PA, and now get the same thing on CleanROM. Yesterday, I ran the Rogers RUU and that got LTE. So I went back to CleanROM (same radio image) and now only get HSPA. If I try to use the ltemobile.apn APN it fails with the message "Connection failed due to incorrect APN setting." Hope this info is useful for anyone with educated guesses

I checked, I had all that set correctly, still no LTE
If anyone else has suggestions, I would be glad to hear them.

From my experience i've had no issues with Rogers LTE on Sense roms and CM10. I would probably try deleting the APN and re-adding it.
I'd also check the network type. In dialer, dial *#*#4636#*#* and under Phone Information check that the network type is set to 'GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto'
Beyond that, trying running the latest Rogers modem/baseband. I'm using 0.18as.32.09.28L with no issues.
I've only had my One X a week so beyond this, i'm out of ideas.

there is an option in setting...you have to change from wcdma to lte...in mobile settings...
i can confirm lte works with cm10...worst case try flash a 4.0.3 rom then flash cm10..
Here's my experience: you no longer need the sense flash method. Make share you do a system, factory, cache and dalvik wipe. Do system and factory twice, as it did not always 100% work for me.
Then boot up. Go to apns and delete all the non-lte ones. Set the lte/wcdma/gsm setting there.
Next go to *#*#4636#*#* in dialer. Check phone information so that network says lte/gsm(prl).
Reboot and hopefully it will all stick.
Also I noticed that the default lte APN has port 80 and not MMS port 80. Make sure that is correct

Okay, I've made some progress on this. I did a factory reset and system wipe from TWRP recovery then re-installed CleanROM 5 from scratch. When it booted up I added the ltemobile.apn APN. This time it successfully connected to the APN, but it still did not get past HSPA. I then booted back into recovery and replaced /system/build.prop with the build.prop from the Rogers 1.94.631.3 stock ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812544). When it booted up it got LTE coverage.
So there must be something key in build.prop required to get LTE to connect. I've attached the two build.prop files in case anyone with trained eyes wouldn't mind diffing them and suggesting what setting might be the key to unlocking LTE.
With CM10 I had to delete the APNs and re-add them, even if they were correct. Not sure why.

Any chance you have figured out how to get it working on CM10? I tried the other suggestions, like deleting the apns and then entering them again, wiping everything, and I checked that the network was set to lte/gsm(prl). Still no LTE unfortunately.

Nope. I'm still rockin' HSPA on CleanROM. Some day I will probably mess around with the build.prop to see if I can figure it out. I really have no idea though. You should try running the RUU just to see if you get lte like I did.
Just got LTE working on Rogers with CM10, finally!
1.) First, I flashed the official stock Rogers ICS Baseband/Modem. You can check to see if you already have the correct modem by going to Settings, choosing About Phone, and checking your "Baseband version".
2.) Second, I corrected the APN settings that come default with CM10. The APN for ltemobile.apn need to be change, since the CM10 settings incorrectly set the Port as 80 (should be left blank), set the MMS port as blank (should be "80"), and set the APN type as something along the lines of 'default' (should be either "*" or "internet + mms"). Make sure you click the menu hardbutton and choose "Save", and go back and check to see that it did indeed save. I also selected the Rogers LTE amonst the list of the four different APNs (Rogers, Rogers LTE, Rogers Tethering, Rogers WAP - not sure if this last step makes a difference but this is what I did anyway).
3.) Go to your phone dialer, and type in *#*#4636#*#*. A "Testing" menu should pop up. Select "Phone information", scroll down to the bottom and under 'Set preferred network type", I chose "LTE/GSM auto (PRL)".
4.) Voila, this worked. I did not need to restart, just gave it a minute and the icon changed from H+ (HSPA+) to 4G (LTE). You can confirm LTE status by either doing a speed test and seeing the results, or go to Settings, scroll to the bottom and choose "About Phone", then "Status", and under "Mobile network type" it should say LTE. On mine it said "LTE:13".
Others, please experiment and try to see if you get the same results.
Cheers

This I think is the main thing. I'm on AT&T but up until just recently every time I flashed an AOSP ROM I had to go into this menu and set it to LTE/GSM. It would always default to WCDMA Preferred for some reason. It doesn't happen anymore but it used to happen every time I flashed an AOSP ROM or even when I rebooted. I had to change it and then it would be fine until I rebooted again.
Thanks, this worked on my SGH-I727R on Rogers.
I wonder why the apn settings load wrong in CM10 when the system reads them from the SIM card...? This never happened to me on previous aosp ICS roms.
what setting do you have for the tethering apn?
i am having issues having other devices running off my hotspot

It's funny you posted this. I am on AT&T and recently I have not been able to get tethering devices to work, but up until recently, I have never had a problem.
my bud has the same phone unrooted with rogers gonna check his apn settings and see if they differ.
K well I just got off the phone with rogers. All the APN setting are fine but still no tethering. Well if it don't won't it don't work. If anyone is successfully tethering on cm10.1 build Jan 12 2013 with Rogers plz let me know.

Ok, so around January 1st, I got this phone, and I Rooted it, installed CM9, and unlocked it. I have it running on simple mobile, and everything works fine (Except for the massive battery drain that CM9 provides). So I haven't had any problems, up until yesterday, when I shut the phone off for about 2 hours, and then turned it back on, to find that I wasn't getting any service. Being at my school, I figured i was just in a dead zone, and that I wouldn't worry about it, but to my suprise when I got home, i still wasn't getting any signal. So, I'm kind of a noob when it comes to like kernels, basebands etc. I'm honestly not sure if thats the correct term . But anyways, I'm not sure If I need to update like a kernel or something, or maybe there is like a Baseband update that I can flash, but I just need a little nudge in the right direction if anyone can help. Thanks!
If everything worked and doesn't and didn't change anything, it's can't be kernel or baseband.
I would go with more crappy sim card. I've went through 3 sim cards with my provider over the last 2 years. One would call, receive text messages but couldn't send. I went through new ROMs, them resetting my account, everything and got a new SIM, worked fine.
Which apn settings are you using?
I dont use the one that comes with the rom. Instead, I use the settings from simple mobile's website.
Name: simple
Apn: simple
Mmsc: http://smpl.mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
Mcc:310
Mnc:260
Apn type: internet + mms
All other fields are blank
