Guys, JB had this problem of being unable to connect to corporate networks with peap authentication. There are some fixes available for other devices. Couldnt find one for one x till a few days back. Any update on the fix for this issue? Thanks.

You haven't mentioned the steps you took to correct the issue, but I have been dealing with this in the past as the go-to android tech at my university.
I think the key is to create a new network with the proper settings in the wireless networks settings tab. Using an existing SSID never worked for me. In the image below, the "athens" wireless network already existed, but I removed it from my wireless networks and created a new network with the correct settings with the the exact same SSID.
I also made sure that I had a security pattern set, which allows the use of encrypted passwords (I am sure an unlock password or pin will work as well).
FYI, the account in the picture no longer exists, so I didn't bother blanking it.
Hopefully this helps...

Hello all.
My first post here, even though I have had a lot of benefit from using this forum.
I have just updated my HTC magic with this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552274
and now I canøt connect to the mobile network anymore. Whenever I try to refresh the weather or create my email account, I get the following message: This application requires network access. Enable data connection or Wi-Fi to download data.
I currently do nt have access to a wi-fi network, so what do I do?
FYI I have no problem calling my phone, so I must be connected to the network.
Hope anyone can help.
Kind regards

Guess you have to manually set your APN settings. Look for info at your providers homepage.
That worked perfectly. Thank you very much.
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?
Hi,
It seems that my 1S have a wifi issue.
I can successfully connect to a wifi network, but every 2-3 sec signal is lost, then the wifi icon in the status bar disappears, then it reappears and reconnect and so on.
I am running an unlocked german tmobile (from ebay), SW version 1.77.111.5
Is someone else having the same issue?
I dont have a device which is in that connect-disconnect loop, but it does not hold onto the Wifi signal, it seems to want to fall back to using 3G/HSDPA if it can, and only after a few mins of data on the 3G/HSDPA connection does it attempt to connect to Wifi.
Does you Wifi AP broadcast its SSID? Are there many devices on the same Wifi channel as the one you are using? Use Wifi-Analyser to find out.

I'm having same issue - anyone found a solution.
It is really annoying, as quite often when I go to refresh email/facebook/twitter/ etc its says cannot update (or whatever app error), but if I wait a few moments again, it works. Really annoying when playing Draw Something, as it interrupts the game!
Any ideas - is it phone, or is it something on my router??

I was having this exact same issue. I went into settings, Wi-Fi, Menu, Advanced, and checked the "Best Wi-Fi performance" option and ever since I have had no problems.

Ok i think i had the same issue and i read in some threads around and you can try this:
1 - Connect to your wireless network but in settings disable DHCP and assign an manual IP (and you can disable the "best WiFi performance" because it drain lots of battery.
2 - Take out the SIM cover and pull up with care the contact pins for better connection with cover
Now i have a strong wifi signal without drops, before this i was thinking in return back my 1S but not now.
Sorry my bad English
If i help hit the "Thanks"

I decided to attempt this manual configuration as well...and it works great! Very fast login, and my network speed even seems quicker (although it probably isn't, but who knows)?
But I had a few problems along the way, but managed to fix them. Here is what you need to do:
First, before you do this, you need to use any network info app to see what your wifi router gateway is. You can pick an IP number based on that number... [Also, while it is unlikely anyone did this, you should confirm that the router doesn't do any MAC filtering (this just means the router will only connect with specific devices based on their wifi radio unique ID number... it's a overzealous way to prevent someone hacking your router and it prevents any non-authorized device from associating with it).]
Once you get that info, change the setting under wifi connect from DHCP to "Static", and below this, enter the gateway and a IP number based on your gateway... Most routers have NAT configurations that allow ~100 or 255 devices, like 192.68.X.2 thru 192.68.X.255 (or 10.1.X.2 thru 10.1.X.255) where the IP number where X=1 is typically the gateway. So just pick a number where the last number is between ~10 and 50 (just in case your router hasn't allotted the full 255 addresses). This is a good range to choose from because if your router has DHCP on (which is typical), your household probably does not have more than 10 or 11 devices connected at any given time....so you are picking an IP address at the end of this range.... So for instance, if your gateway is 192.68.1.1, pick a static IP address of 192.68.1.11 or 192.68.1.15.
Below this enter "24" for Network Prefix Length.
Below this, it has boxes for DNS servers. I ran into some problems here. I figured that since my wireless router has DNS servers already configured in its settings, I could skip this (it lets you hit connect without entering then). You can try this, and it may work (depending on your router/setup), but when I left them blank, I noticed frequent reconnections and no signal really at all.
In my case I had to enter DNS server addresses. I already had purchased an app called "Set DNS Pro" (there is a free version though) so I used that to select publicly available DNS servers. If you don't want to use the app, you can enter Google's DNS servers, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, or check with your ISP to use theirs (which they prefer because it is easier to keep track of or control your web browsing).
So my takeaway from this was that if you do not enter DNS, you might have problems.

I have a corporate intranet site I need to access from my phone (it's a SSL site with a port - ie https://example.com:1234/). Had no issues getting to it on my N4 using the stock browser, FireFox and Chrome.
Have tried both FireFox and Chrome on my N5 and I keep getting Server Not Found error on both browsers. Pop the SIM back in my N4 and it comes right up.
Have tried the 'Request Desktop Site' on Chrome and FireFox as well without success.
Chrome reports a ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED error.
As an update, I have found that I can access the page when connected to a wi-fi network, but not when on AT&T cell network.
Intranet=internal network. If it's reachable from an outside network it isn't intranet. FYI

Yep. Sorry. The keys here are the non-standard port and the fact that I can access the site on any wi-fi network but for some reason not AT&T's cell network on my N5.
I am going to dig out my N4 and see if there is something different in the AT&T network settings between the two devices next. Was hoping that rooting might help (the N4 was rooted), but that didn't work either.
Anyone working on a custom 4.3 ROM ....
Success!
The N4 did not have a proxy set up in the APN settings, but the N5 did. Deleting it fixed the problem.
Sorry. My former boss used to keep calling our website an intranet, and he refused to acknowledge the difference. Lol. It became a pet peeve of mine. Apologies for interrupting.

I used to tether my nexus 5 to the wifi nexus 7 without issue. The new D6603 works exactly the same way. I can get the two devices to connect to each other, but data trickles through so slow that webpages time out. I know some small amount of data is getting through because from google I can get instant auto suggestions as I begin a search. But if I click on any of the links google brings up the webpage never loads.
I called Tmobile who's mostly useless. Unsupported device yadda yadda. They confirmed my tethering option is still active, but otherwise they aren't helping.
is there a setting or something I need to change? Anybody else have luck with this working, or experience the same issue?
Have you tried multiple locations? There might be wifi interference in your current spot
Yes
It seems like a repeat of the issue I had with T-mobile blocking tethered data when I first got a nexus 5. Apparently they added code to 4.4 to redirect tethered data to a different apn.
Double check your APN settings, try setting the APN protocol to IPv4/IPv6 if it's set to only IPv6
That fixed it! Thanks! It was set for IPv6 only.
