Hi All,
Does anyone have Wifi Hotspot working on ICS for Orange UK?
When lauching the APP, the Icon appears in the top indicating now active but does not show the 3G in it....subsequently the PC / Laptop does get an ip address from the phone, but no internet pass through.
Looking at the APN the "ConsumerBroadband" APN is locked and cannot edit to add the username and password to allow it to work....
Does anyone know how to fix this or if anyone has it working and could post how they got it working for Orange UK on ICS?
I have tried both the Funzy and Insertcoin and both have the same issue where its locked. If i revert back to a 2.3.5 version it works fine......
Regards
Q and a mate not dev.
Can't answer you sorry.

MOD - Can the post be moved to Q and A?
I have the same problem. Have tried LeeDriod, Elegancia & AR HD ICS ROMs.
No one yet has an answer
There must be a system file that contains the APN info that can be edited?
Looks like it's back to GB until some Guru can help.
Can some please help?
Many Thanks
Wifi hotspot orange apn locked
Im having the same issue, can't get the wifi hotspot to work on my stock ics sensation xe. I'm on orange as well and also have a locked out consumer broadband Apn.
Does anyone have a solution yet?
Chambers net
Htc sensation xe with Stock ICS
Worked.... for Me
Ignore the locked APN and try the following
Create a New APN
Set the following (with capitals but no "")
Name "Consumer Broadband"
APN "orangeinternet"
Username "Orange"
Password "Multimedia"
Authentication "CHAP"
Save and test
It did the job for me
Enjoy.
Works on HTC One S
Just tried the above on my other halfs one S which is also locked. Worked like a charm!
Sadly this fix doesn't seem to work for me on my sensation xe with ics :-(
I've created the APN as stated, when I fire up the hotspot and connect to it I still don't get any Internet to pass through.

The only trouble I had in getting wifi tethering to work was the adhoc setting, had to use a beta of Wifi Tether before my partners gingerbread pad would connect.
No problems with using Orange data connection, I've never touched the APN settings either.
On ICS with virtuous inquisition 4.0.1

I've just come across this threading after having the same issues.
I got mine to work a similar way to mikutzu but all I did was edit the current orange Internet and add the username to Orange and password as Multimedia (with capitals at beginning) and then add ,dun to the end of the apn type so in the end it reads default,hipri,dun
And then save. This worked for me straight away. Hope this helps!!
ICS (Orange SK) - Wifi Hotspot not working
Hi there,
I have official ICS (Orange SK) and when I launch Wifi hotspot I see hotspot network but can't connect with my laptop. I tried add new apn, but it didn't helped, then I tried edit "orange internet" apn, but it didn't helped too.
Do you have any suggestions or recommendations?

I have tried rebooting, turning the mobile network option on and off, airplane mode on and off, removing battery and sim, but my 3g won't turn on. No symbol in the notification bar or anything.
I'm in the UK on vodafone.
Any suggestions?

Go to your dialer and type in "*#*#4636#*#*" click on phone information and after that scroll down till you see a drop down menu click on wcdma only or on wcdma preferred.
That should do it..

Thanks, I tried that but no change. It's like its not coming on at all, usually 3g watchdog comes on when I switch to 3g but nothing is happening.

Hmm.. are you on the stock Rom or on a custom Rom? Also has it worked before or you've just bought a new piece?

Your SIM card could be old, remember when you get a device you should ask for a new SIM. Some one had that same problem and their SIM card.
Had the device since June, stock rom and brand new sim. Has worked fine until now.

Go into the settings and double check all the APN settings are correct. Maybe somehow the settings have been lost or changed.
This is strange. I checked the apn settings, the only option was UK vodafone contract (that's correct) , the address underneath said wap.vodafone.co.ukextendedcontrols (hmm)
I recently tried extended controls but uninstalled cos I didn't like it. So I just installed it again (I guess my refund / uninstall didn't work!) and added 3g toggle enabled it and lo and behold my mobile network is back.
I check apn settings and now the address just says wap.vodafone.co.uk!
Looks like it's fixed. I guess extended controls modified the apn address and then I uninstalled it, which left it reading the wrong address!
Woooo!
Thanks for the replies!

Yeah 9 out of 10 times if you cant get a data connection at all its the APN. Glad you got it sorted now.
Cheers
i had the same problem ( no 3G) i has green power installed had to set up the APN address
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.

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?
Hey guys I use the Cerberus app for my security and recovery app all in one and all works great aside from one issue I have been having. When I send commands to take a photo or screenshot the phone takes it and emails it to me. Over a wifi connection this works flawlessly, but over the network connection I get a 0byte JPEG image that is always corrupted. I am positive my apn is correct as I had to set it manually for my mms and data to work. Anyone any ideas?

Hi All,
I'm using HTC Sensation XE past 4 months. For last 3 weeks I'm facing this issue pertaining to GPRS wherein the "E"sign remains but the ARROWS below that don't highlight, add NO data transfer takes place. This roughly happens after every 2 days.
Now I've tried both:
1. Disabling/Enabling MOBILE NETWORK
And
2. Disabling/Enabling FLIGHT MODE
After umpteen attempts with both still the GPRS doesn't start working. The only way it starts working is by REBOOTING the phone.
Is this my Carrier issue or problem with my Phone?
I'm really really annoyed with this problem and shall greatly appreciate all the help provided here.

What is your carrier?
Anyway try manual settings for mobile networks for your carrier.
First switch off your mobile, remove the sim card and wait for 1 minute. Now re-insert the sim and power on your mobile.
Go to settings --> Mobile networks --> Access point names
Edit the access point with proper name, apn, proxy, port, username (generally blank), password (blank) and others.
Also check is APN enable or disabled.
NOTE: Change or edit all these settings by disabling the data traffic.
After making the changes, reboot your mobile.
If you still have the problem, contact your carrier's customer care. This could be problem from their side.
My carrier is AIRTEL and mine is a Corporate connection. Yes the APN table is preconfigured as always no changes in that. Also once I tired to rename it differently and then reverted the changes to check if GPRS worked but alas.
I'm just concerned if this problem is pertaining to my handset as I've tried all options and permutation & combinations to get GPRS working BUT rebooting only get that thing alive!

Hi All,
I've attached the screenshot of APN settings is which is correctly set. Also just now the GPRS went off with the E sign present and the arrows below it non highlighted (in grey color as in the screenshot).
I just restarted my phone which made my GPRS to come alive.
I'm seriously irritated and need help ASAP. Really disappointed to see no helps popping in.
