Hi,
I have htc radar 4g
Yesterday I popped in att sim card to unlock my phone and I have been using it for half a day. I used the htc connection setup to get mms working and internet.
After half a day i switched to tmobile sim card and I used the htc connection setup again to set setting to tmobile
Now I can't use internet sharing on my phone
When I try to turn it on i get:
"Connection not shared
To enable tethering on this device, go to att.com/mywireless or dial 611"
Anyone knows how to get rid of it?
I use tmobile prepaid and this has been working before I unlocked my phone and used atts sim card...
any help appreciated!
Give it a couple days to re-provision the Internet Sharing restriction (shouldn't take more than about 24 hours). AT&T wants people to pay extra for tethering, and your phone must have picked up that restriction while it was on their network. It *should* go away on its own. Try rebooting the phone again if it sticks around.
If you were on a slightly older phone, I'd tell you haw to bypass the restriction entirely, but unfortunately we don't yet have a way to provision custom provxml files on the Radar (or other HTC gen2 phones).
will see,
i will give it a time to saturday
but this is what i did
1. made a backup on my mac
2 restored to factory settings
3. checkked ineternet sharing
it works fine
4. restored my backup
5 sharing not working
so i will wait until saturday/sunday and see
I have the exact same issue. Any solution? I'm overseas and can't use the internet tethering function which is one reason I bought this phone!

hi i just bought a mytouch 3g from Craigslist and i don't have a data plan, so i gave my phone to a friend to activate for me. its been 5 days and he trys it everyday and this keeps on showing up "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server. This could be a temporary problem or your SIM card may not be provisioned for data services." we tried to master reset then activate but still not working. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP
What service are you trying to use the phone on?
Some services mean that you have to setup the APN yourself if the sim card doesn't have an up to date setting. I had that happen with some of my friends, takes about 1min to fix if that is it.
my friend is using t mobile
I am from the Android world, zero experience with WP7 and I want to buy this exact phone and possibly flash a custom ROM
and the goal is to get this to work on Page Plus (Verizon MVNO) and NOT Sprint
the phone is currently set up for C-Spire - a smaller CDMA carrier in Mississippi (formerly Cellular South)
I have access to CDMA workshop and other CDMA tools, such as qpst
I need Verizon coverage and a REAL keyboard at a cheap price ($55/month) and this looks like it could be the ticket!
I had the same question and found a post from bing searches with someone claiming to have succeeded in activating it on Page Plus. Unfortunately the person never really detailed how he did it.
I'd still like to know how it can be done.
The Arrive can be flashed to P+. I'm using one on it. You'll need the paid CDMAWS, not the hacked version.
Also, before you do this, remember that the 3G will be intermittent. The reason for this is that you cannot upload the authentication file to the phone's file system, so the phone never gets true 3G, it cycles between connecting and 1XRTT. To make this work properly, you'll need to have a ROM loaded that's a direct port from the HTC Trophy, or an Arrive ROM that has the Verizon operator package in it. I've yet to learn how to do this, but as time permits, I'll figure it out. I've got a few requests in to ansar and leadpoizon, two ROM Chefs that are heavily involved in GOLD_C (our phone's) development here.
Here's what I did:
1. Put the phone in Diag Mode, using ##MFG# on the phone dialer and connect to CDMAWS.
2. Obtain your MSL/SPC by using the HTC Method, then write it to 000000.
3. Program the phone using CDMAWS just as you would an android device; put in MIN, MDN and set your data settings to your#@vzw3g.com.
4. Load a modded PRL to put the phone on Verizon's Towers, and lose the roam triangle. (Attached)
5. Call P+ and give them the MEID of the Arrive. They'll tell you to do *22890, but do NOT do it.
6. Once they say it's active, make a test call, and enjoy your Arrive.
The steps above will give you voice calls, SMS, and spotty 3G. MMS will not work, unless you hack the registry of the phone. The phone works great with WiFi, though.
If you're brave, try forcing the phone into 1X by finding a non-EvDo PRL. You'll be showing that you're roaming, but it may yield better data results. If you do set 1X though, be sure to set MIP type (in CDMAWS) to Simple IP.
Post here w/ questions, if you have any...
Hello
I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy SIII (I535) with the Android 4.4.2 and the VRUDNE1 Build (I535OYUDNE1 Baseband). I got the Data and voice Roaming Package when I went to Europe. The voice part worked fine but the Data roaming sucked big time. Since you only get 100 MB (at 3G only), you follow their advise to reduce mobile data. Well I could not get reliable Internet access, even if I put the phone back up to full mobile data. I was using it with Maps, Yelp and TripAdvisor .
I then decided to buy an Internet-only SIM card in Germany, I could now get Internet access but I got the stupid message about the SIM card not being valid and the APN data had to be manually entered even when putting back the Verizon SIM card, which was a pain.
Now the phone is out of contract and not used with Verizon. I want to make it as my travel phone and be able to automatically load APN data and get rid of the SIM card message.
I see a couple of websites that claim that there are new easier methods to root the phone using towelroot.
Does anyone knows if towelroot will work with my current SIII?

Towelroot will work with an i535 on NE1, I bought a used, unrooted device a month ago and successfully rooted it. But, rooting will not automatically change APNs when you swap sims, I don't think.

No, but they I can use Apps that have the APN data but require root access. The other thing that would be nice is getting the RESET APN activated but not critical.
I had the impression that some of the SIM cards had a utility (or done through the activation) to set the APN data automatically. Need to test it thought

I've never changed SIMs, so I don't know if they have such a utility. I recall some of the the US pre-paid carriers supplying their APN settings packaged with the card for users to set. (StraightTalk comes to mind.) Since haven't needed to change APNs I don't know about the Apps you mentioned either.
Looks like I should have confirmed Towelroot working and not added any additional comment, you seem to have the rest worked out. BTW, let me know if you don't have a working copy of TowelRoot.
I just bought a used Verizon LG G5 (VS987), however my carrier is AT&T. After putting in the Sim card, calling and texting works but when I go to turn on mobile data in the settings, I get a popup that says "Add Mobile Service Please contact Customer Service at (800) 922-0204 for assistance."
I have called both that customer service number for Verizon ^ and also AT&T. I made sure that my IMEI was updated on our AT&T plan, and I have the right APN settings put in. When I called Verizon, the guy didn't really have much to say except that the device is unlocked but full access to features can't be guaranteed, and I am aware that Verizon and AT&T use different wireless bands, which he explained, but I should be able to at least have some kind of data. We both agreed that this is just some piece of Verizon software keeping me from using data, and he suggested rooting the phone to get a workaround.
One suggestion that I saw in some forums and tried was that resetting the network settings in Backup and Reset does turn mobile data on by default, however I get the same Verizon popup as soon as I open any browser, and other apps just say there is no connection, although when I do this I can see that I am getting either HSPA or 4G data, it just seems like it's being blocked by this Verizon stuff. Messing around with other setttings such as Data roaming and System select didn't change anything.
Does anyone have any experience using a Verizon G5 on AT&T? I saw a video of someone demoing T-Mobile 4G data on the Verizon model, and another user on XDA said that he put in his T-Mobile sim and it worked perfectly. My best guess on where to go from here is to unlock and root, and see if I can install a custom rom to get around this. Does anyone know if there is a stock LG rom without all of the Verizon bloatware installed, maybe a stock rom for the unlocked model of the G5? Any suggestions on how to get this to work are appreciated, and I think this is posted in the right place, I'm an active reader on XDA but this is one of my first posts
Thanks to anyone that reads all of this!
Update: I reset the phone to factory settings and set it up with the sim card from AT&T in it. Since then I can turn on mobile data, and the notification bar shows I have data (mostly HSPA), however I have no connection when I try to load a webpage. Tomorrow morning i'll stop by the AT&T store and see if there's anything they can do.

Did you add the correct APNs for AT&T in the phone when you put in your sim? you need it for internet and MMS
Did you which it to Gobal or other option that is not LTE/CDMA?
Same problem here

Was your problem solved? I'm having the same problem with another Verizon LG Device. If it was solved, what did you do?
Hey guys, I’ve recently entered the android headunit world and purchased a android 10, 10.1” joying headunit (octa-core 1.8ghz, 6gb ram 720p).
The headunit is fantastic and exceeds my expectations in every way, except the 4G mobile data function doesn’t work.
I’m from Aus, so I’m using a verified working 4g mobile broadband Telstra sim that is a GSM type (which joying says is compatible).
The unit detects the SIM as it should, identifies it as a Telstra sim, shows full 4G signal in the top bar however it has no data stream.
I have the mobile data function enabled, roaming enabled, no data saving features turned on and have made sure to set all my apps to unrestricted access.
The interesting thing is, if I turn the headunits hotspot feature on, and use the units 4g network as a hotspot and connect my phone to it, everything works perfectly and it shows a perfect data stream.
However the unit itself cannot use its own data.
I have followed all of the instructions given here:
Android car stereo, Android 10.0 Head unit
How to solve the 4G problem on Joyin --> How to solve the 4G problem on Joying head unit? Following ideas are for solving the 4G problem when there i
www.joyingauto.com
But seeing as how the unit can actively stream 4g data via the hotspot function, there doesn’t seem to be an issue with SIM card settings or anything hardware related.
Has anyone come across this or have any idea what I should do next?
(Let me know if you need any unit details)
I don't know if this will help because you said your hotspot works but have you checked your APN (access point names) settings to see if there are two options to switch between?
There was only one in there which was the default automatic setting. But I figured that if the headunit could still send and receive data via hot spot to another device that the APN must have been correct?

Yeah, that's what I would have figured too. But I'm not an expert. Is there a DNS setting you could change? Perhaps add a custom DNS hostname such as dns.quad9.net ? I'm just guessing here.
I’ll have another look tonight but I don’t remember seeing any settings to change the DNS host name.
I was able to hotspot data just fine however the headunit had no internet.
Verify that the acces point names (APN) are set correctly. I had to copy the settings from my phone (using telstra) and apply them to the headunit.
This can be done by going to Mobile Networks > Access Point Names > [first one in list]
I had to change APN to telstra.wap and APN Protocol to IPv6. Also, there's a bug where the text is white on the input box. Have to select it to read it.
This worked with both the newer Android 10 (universal 10.1") and older Android 8 (Honda acord kit) on telstra data sims
Absolute legend, thanks mate.
I’ll try that tomorrow and see how it goes!
Thought I’d let you know it worked a dream, just had to change the apn and the protocols.
Thanks again!
I ordered a JY-UQD11N6G about 10 months ago and since then I have tried EVERYTHING that has been suggested here and by Joying. I've tried the universal build from FYT from this very informative post. The head unit recognizes the SIM and properly populates the APN data, but for some reason the time on the device sets back to the build time and date of the ROM every time the device reboots. I have also deleted the prepopulated APNs and created a new APN according the information on my phone when the SIM is inserted and functional which corresponds to the information here.
It does get (or keep) the right time zone, but it will not keep a persistent time through a reboot with a consistent power source.
Joying has sent me an unreleased ROM that doesn't fix the issue. I've tried different external antennae and I've torn the device apart to ensure that the internal antennae are properly soldered to the carrier board (they are). At this point I'm tired of paying $30/mo for a line I can't use.
I just noticed two one pixel wide green lines vertically traversing the LCD, but before I request a warranted replacement, is there anything else I should try?
I tried 4 different SIM cards. T-Mobile pre-paid didn’t word. The head unit recognized the card and everything looked right but no data. T-Mobile post-paid card taken straight out of a display phone in the store worked perfectly, but the cheapest plan was $40/month, and that’s too much. The Verizon card I took out of my iPad and tried did the same as the pre-paid T-Mobile card.
The 4th one I got is from Mint Mobile. Since they use the T-Mobile network, I thought it was worth risking $45. From their website I bought a SIM card with the 4GB phone plan at $15/month for 3 months. It works perfectly! After 3 months I can renew the plan for 12 months and stay at $15/month. 4GB is more data than I will ever use in a month just streaming my music, navigating and doing a few other things, like checking weather/weather radar.
Go with Mint Mobile. It may fix your data issues.

I tried Mint and had the same positive experience, and a Visible (Verizon mvno) card did not work.
But it had bars and showed me an lte connection, it just didn't give me any data. Apn settings were blank, but also wouldn't let me change them, oddly. I'd like to try again as I'm sitting on a visible sim for the next two months that would be cool to use but wondering why some carriers work and others don't, even if they are the same carrier (mvno vs non)?
I have Verizon working on mine, you have to add the APN settings manually via an app from the playstore. However....the device is unknown to verizon so they keep adding it as a phone to my account....for like $50+ a month...I told them i just want data and it should be classified as a connected device.

what provider? what are they charging you for on your account (device type)?
I haven’t used the data service for a while since I started just using apple car play, however my Carrier was Telstra (Australia) and it was something like $15 a month for a
2 GB 4g data sim.
At least as far as I can remember, it did have a mobile number associated with it so I think they were classifying it as a phone plan.

What’s the APN app you got from play store?
I used an app called AddAPN on the Playstore for my Joying and it worked well.
AddAPN - Access the Add APN se - Apps on Google Play
Brings up the Add APN page directly without going through settings
play.google.com
Because the settings app doesnt allow access to edit them...the app edits the apn information since the stock settings app doesnt allow this for some strange reason..
