I bought the htc sensation and unlocked it for use for AT&T. I have roamed the entire web trying and testing different settings to get MMS working but nothing ever works. Does anyone know the proper settings for AT&T and will the sensation be able to use AT&T 3G ever???
No 3g for you! Ever! Hardware compatibility problem.
Hello,
since the last FOTA update from HTC to 1.45.403 (Android 2.3.4) I can no longer connect WLAN devices to the internet via WiFi-Hotspot on my HTC Sensation!
Before that update it worked.
The devices (tried it out with a Samsung TV and the original WiFi-stick connected and a WD multimedia box, both worked flawlessly before) successfully find the Sensation's AP, successfully connect to it and also the DHCP test succeeds.
However no internet connection then works.
Did anyone of you experience the same?
Could it be that this FOTA update sent by HTC now requires some software token to be sent by your mobile operator enabling WiFi tethering, hence defaulting tethering via firmware to "disable"?
Mobile operators do not like tethering, but they cannot detect (and consequently block) it easily - unless (just my speculation, no idea if this is the reason, why it won't work anymore) HTC would change WiFi tethering and internet sharing via 3G to default off on software level.
I have to mention that I have an unbranded HTC Sensation without any operator-specific software and the update did not come from the operator but from HTC.
(Or at least that's what I saw.)
Any advice ?
Thanks in advance.
Correction:
Software version is: 1.45.401.3
Have you tried using different security settings for the WiFi hotspott? Go to settings\wireless & networks\Portable WiFi hotspot settings. You have three settings WEP 128, WAP (TKIP), and WPA2 (AES). Mine is set to WPA2 (AES).
Problem is that it does not even work with security settings switched off
I really feel lost.
Could it be that other apps interfere?
But I'd rather doubt.
If you are using the WiFi Hotspot app that came preinstalled on the sensation from tmobile and you dont have a "Tethering Data Plan" they will eventually figure you out and block the app from working.... I found this out myself and had to go ask the nice lady at the Tmobile store why it happened... and that's why.
I can verify that at a certain point of data usage tmous will cut off wifi tethering. They can tell the data is being shared n want u to pay monthly for the service. Found out from a Friend who is a tmo employee.
Although I'm still tethering free for the time being..

Mine does that too now, any way around it
I could be off on this, I work at TMO and I know the Amaze and GSII shipped with the ''latest'' SIM cards, which we were told had to be used for WiFi calling to work correctly, but oddly enough thats when I noticed tethering quit working on all out demo's
Works flawlessly with CM7 for me.
Actually today and yesterday works just fine for me.... so i dont know why it did the one day but no problems now..... wierd
my branded sensation stopped wifi tethering 2 days ago and i just tried and its is working now... Kinda weird i gurss . . Maybe it was because i used 5.46gb of data this month....?

I'm not using any t-mobile sensation xe just a normal sensation xe. Flash the LeeDroid custom rom but my wifi and mobile network turn on by itself. Cost me a lot of money when the mobile network turn on since I don't have data plan. Any fix to it?
bump, does anyone have a solution? i know it happens on all ics roms not just leedroid. wifi i dont care but data, i do since i dont have a data plan either
seems to only happen at night. i have mobile network turned off, enable always on mobile data unchecked, weather alerts unchecked, what else can i do?
I've been suffering this too but I got unlimited data so not so worried. As far as I know it's a bug with ICS itself. There is a wifi fix thread knocking about these forums somewhere I think that might be of some use. Can't post links on mobile it's a pain in the arse but search might bring it up.

wifi busted?
I'm s-off rooted and flashed leedroids latest and now I can't even turn on WiFi keeps saying error any ideas I can try
Here is a link to a working ICS/Sense 4.0 T-Mobile WiFi calling, It was originally from the HD2 but I tried it out and it is working on my Inspire 4G so I thought I would share with those T-Mobile users out there.
Edit: it is not reading the SIM card, I'm sure this can be fixed fairly easily from someone with more developing knowledge.

credits for this go to tytung I did nothing to this just discovered that it flashes to the Desire HD
It's working now
I have an unlocked Telus HTC One S that I am currently using on Rogers. A few weeks ago, Rogers released HD Voice to a select list of devices. I was excited to see that the HTC One S (PJ40110) was included. I cannot figure out how to enable my phone to use it. I am aware that for it to work, you must call someone with a HD Voice ready phone on Rogers. My bro has an iPhone 5 on Rogers and HD Voice has been working for him (sounds awesome). Any ideas on what I can do? My connection jumps from 3g to H not a stable 4g. Could this be a reason why?
