Hi Guys,
So I just got a Nexus 5 yesterday. I am with simple mobile. I put in the sim-card and set up the settings and everything was fine and worked great. I was able to access the internet all with no problems.
Now today I can't access the internet or any apps that use the internet I keep getting re-directed to a up sell t-mobile website. I tried googling it but all I can find is about a tethering block that t-mobile put in place. I don't use my phone for tethering and I have no idea to fix as the simple mobile support were useless, just the usual turn the phone on and off stuff.
Please Help!!

Hi all,
I've been searching countless forums for a solution to my problem, and I was not able to find a solution.
I purchased a T-Mobile SDA(USA, aka: HTC Tornado) with the belief that I will be able to connect to my hiome WIFI.
I tried connecting with original rom(T-mo SW 1.9.19.16) and I was able to connect to my access point, and I aquired an IP address, and everything, but internet explorer and Opera Mini browser was not able to connect to the internet. IExplorer keeps on "locating" then times out.
I am able to connect to a HotSpot location through wifi and also my G (GPRS) indicator is always on.
My guess is that TCP/IP use is somehow blocked for anything but T-mobiles HotSpots, and otherwise it tries GPRS(I do not have data plan.)
What I mean is that they restrict me to connect to GPRS or Edge in general, unless there is a HotSpot operated by T-Mobile.
Anyways if someone has an idea, please help me out, since I've spent countless of hours(not quite countless, but more than 48 hours for sure) on this, with no luck.
Please, anything, idea, reg hack, I accept anything.
Thank you.
PS: Now I'm running an iMate sp5m rom (i-mate_SP5m_WWE_1.6.331.6.exe) and nothing changed....
I'm sure this has come up before (try searching) but make sure your internet explorer isn't set to use WAP Network only.
Thanks for your reply...really appreciate it.
I was on a trip in NYC and I had a variety of WIFI spots, and to my very surprise I was able to get online through WIFI.
It seems that I still needed the iMate Rom, but my problem is my home wifi network.
It's weird since I enter my key and I get an IP, yet the connection is still not the correct one.
My next step is to look for a list of access points which have issues with SDAs, and if mine passes I'll start changing settings on my access point and go from there.
Thanks again, and if someone has a link to the list, I would appreciate it if it will post it.
And also if someone knows how to get rid of the GPRS indicator....
Thanks

If you're on WiFi, you should not be getting the G indicator; in fact, change it to E as it should be if on an Edge network (Cingular); look for a RegEdit to do that.
Re: your home connection not working. Are you sure you are on YOUR WiFi network, not a neighbors somewhere? If you have not changed your WiFi name to something that makes sense to you, I suggest you do that to be sure you are trying to connect to YOUR network. I have neighbors that have not changed their LinkSys names to something else, and there is no way for me to tell if I'm on theirs or mine unless my name is something unique to me and that I know.
Hi my name is Tony and I would like some help with my verizon hTC Imagio phone.
I've spent $95/ just gettin it flashed to cricket, but still not all of the functions work.
I can make & recive calls & get on the internet via Internet Explorer & Opera browser, but can not sent multimedia messages with it, the Google maps app works but fot some reason it all always starts with a location of the shop I got it flashed from & then after a few minutes it finaly gets to my location. The weather app on TouchFLOalways get the same location from where I got my phone flashed from & never gets the location right after I got it flashed.
I also would like to use the internet with my laptop, is there any free software I can use to do that, I have a bluetooth donglet I want to use to tether my hTC Imagio to my laptop.
Any help will be most apreciated, Thanks in advance.
Hello everyone,
Forgive me if this has already been asked, but after searching and searching thoroughly I was unable to find a solution.
I have the T Mobile HTC HD2, the phone is better than any iPhone I ever owned. (Just had to get that out... )
I have a question concerning the HTC CM Wifi Internet Sharing. I installed the app, ran it without any issues. The signal was picked up by one of my laptops. I was able to connect and surf the web over 3G, pretty quick I must say...
The issue I am having is, since connecting that one time, I have not been able to see the phone as a router since. When I run the app and choose T-Mobile data, the 3G pops up. The wireless antenna icon pops up and the app says it is ready to receive incoming connections. BUT, I am unable to see this from any of my wireless devices.
My questions are, is there any specific procedure to get this to run correct? Do I have to disable wireless on the HD2? Is there some WinMo 6.5 firewall running? I know others have experienced this, but I am unable to track down a solution.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Are you running the app through Settings-All Settings-Connections-Wifi Internet Sharing? Or running the WifiRouter app?

I am running the app through Settings-All Settings-Connections-Wifi Internet Sharing
After i installed the cab, this is the only place I could find a way to launch the app.
Why is there another way?
I downloaded a random wifi sharing app and had the same problem, then found XDA-Tom_Codom CM Wifi Internet Sharing VGA. Worked like a charm. I would uninstall and try that one.
SxyCupcake, thanks for the suggestion.
I uninstalled, then installed the XDA-Tom_Codon CM Wifi Internet Sharing VGA.cab you suggested. I get the same result. I am rebooting right now to see if that may help...
After rebooting, I get the same thing. It almost seems like something is blocking the WiFi Transmit antenna signal or maybe it is not activating correctly... Might be a registry setting or something.
I may have fudged up some setting using BsB Tweaks or XT Hack Beta2... I might wind up just doing a complete restore and start from scratch.
Still doesn't work. I will check back often and post a solution if I figure it out.
Thank you,

Q: My PC or Laptop is not seeing the SSID.
A: For the people having trouble seeing the network, make sure your pc displays adhoc connections and not just access points.
Now it is working...
Moved as not software release.
hello, everyone!
my bad if this post is misplaced but couldn't really find a good answer to my specific problem.
basically, i lost my sgs3 today. it had no security apps like android lost, lookout etc. installed and neither wifi nor mobile data were on. have installed from my desktop android lost, but since the phone has no internet connection i don't see how this app can ever be pushed onto the phone.
so basically, my question is if there is anything to be done here? perhaps any code or instruction sent by sms that would trigger the mobile data on!!! i don't suppose so!
anyway, whatever you might think of, i'd appreciate any help!
i'll call the gsm provider at some point to deactivate the sim, unless i can find a way first to locate the phone using their network signal.
many thanks!
Hello. I have this weird problem. I have an app that does not work over wifi (it's coded, everything's normal). But in a weird situation that I am in, I need it to use it via wifi. So is there a way to somehow trick my phone into thinking that it's using LTE connection, when it's actually connected to my home router wifi?
The problem is.. Phone is not rooted and cannot be.
The approach I'm thinking of: using another phone (that I could root) to somehow reverse mobile data connection in order to create LTE/3G hotspot that shares... wifi. But whenever I google a solution for this, I always find myself finding tutorials that show how to share mobile data over wifi (so.. the opposite of what I need). But I wonder if that's even possible.
I heard about femtocells, but I was trying to avoid spending money on hardware that's going to be used once.
Also, I spent a whole day trying to use an emulator that would allow to spoof mobile connection. Apparently, application creator has blocked the ability to run application via emulator. So unless someone knows how to go around this little situation, this way doesn't work.
