Since updating, I've discovered that I can no longer use USB Tethering or set up a wireless hotspot.
Or should I say, I can, but neither give the other device any connectivity - even though it works fine on the phone itself.
Anyone else having problems, or can suggest a fix?

Works fine here on 5.0.2 full wipe, nordic ftf, USA bought D6603 on AT&T USA network. Maybe they changed something on your carrier with 5.0.2 that needs your account to be provisioned for tethering on Lollipop. Sometimes depending on the carrier a different apn is used for tethering and the carrier can then block you if you are not provisioned. The APN's change often with every version.

I'm on the same as you with 3 and can no longer tether although I can create a Hotspot and people can join, just no data......really annoying. Apart from that i like the update.

I've created a thread on the Sony Mobile forum, as I suspect this is a problem that isn't more widespread simply as people haven't tried tethering yet, or have assumed it was a network problem and maybe given up.
I am wondering if there's something going on where networks such as Three are now able to use another APN for tethering (as is now the case on iOS), but we are yet to be given the opportunity to select an APN for tethering? Or we have to add something in to the existing APN setting?
I think its a Lollipop issue as the Nexus devices had it. I'll try tonight with a different network sim to see if it works.
Can you post your APN?
I use T-Mobile.
Name T-Mobile Data
APN fast.t-mobile.com
Proxy not set
Port not set
Username not set
Password not set
Server not set
MMSC http://MMS.msg.eng.t-mobile. Com/MMS/wapenc
MMS proxy not set
MMS port not set
MCC 310
MNC 260
Auth type none
APN type default, supl,a-gps,MMS
APN protocol IPv4/IPv6
APN roaming protocol IPv4
When I first got my D6603 I couldn't tether. My APN protocol was set to ipv4 only. Making the change to IPv4/IPv6 fixed it.
Cheers I'll try when I get home.
Changing to IPv4/IPv6 didn't do anything for me.
Im in the same boat, I posted on the 5.0 thread but just to say I think its just a three problem unfortunately as I know a few people who have the handset etc and they are fine with tethering if there not on three, EE for example works fine. I guess we will have to wait for a three firmware or UK 5.0. I didn't backup my original firmware from my three handset and cant actually find a three firmware?

It will be dead easy to change. Just flash the new firmware over the old and don't wipe.
I am wondering whether to try and use the iOS Portable Hotspot APN that Three introduced on its new tariffs, but I don't know the exact settings. If that works, Three might be taking advantage of a new feature in Lollipop that allows it to restrict tethering, and hasn't considered (or doesn't care about) the impact on people still on the One Plan.
I've flashed back to 4.4.4 for now, I don't really use much tethering tbh but its handy to have occasionally

I can confirm it doesn't work on the Z2 after the Lollipop update either. Also on Three.

Yes, the same generic ROM.
In all my years of flashing firmwares, I've never had any such problems. Now if I'd flashed a ROM for the wrong variant and lost support for certain bands, fair enough, but data is working just fine on both the Z3 and my wife's Z2.. but tethering is broken.
If it works by the time a UK ROM is released, or specifically a Three UK one, I suspect it will only be because it has been fixed - not because there's actually a need for a specific ROM.
I can confirm that there thing on Lollipop isn't working for me.
On Three as well.
As I'm sure someone will say it sooner or later, did you do a clean install or an upgrade (no wipe)?
I did an upgrade. I cannot believe for one second that will make a difference, but it would be good to know if someone has the problem who did a clean install.
I'm back on 4.4, I'll wait until the UK one is released to see if it makes a difference. I didn't try a different sim from another provider though, did anyone else? I do like what they have done with lollipop though and miss it already
It stopped working for me, I found a solution to my issue and got it working. I posted the solution in the general forum.

Hey Yall, long time XDA follower and user (HTC Shadow2007), first time "really" posting.
I, for the love of GOD, cannot find out just why I'm not able to use any of my rom's built in tethering for my T-Mobile branded Sensation 4G. I been reading up on T-Mobile US's hidden APN on their network which disable's certain traffics. (Yes I know about spoofing UA Strings for desktops/laptops but this seems to be different, like they are disabling my connection to the PS3 only. In other words, it will find the AP (not ad-hoc) and but not allow for an internet connection.
Lately, I've been switching between CM9 stable(main) and Elegancis (Blitz_3.0.0) roms. I haven't superCID'd but I didn't think that it would've mattered because I don't think that I'm using an non-T-Mobile US build (it wouldn't work either way).
I wanted to stick it CM9 but for whatever reason it would allow me to update some market apps so for that reason and well as the tethering issue I've switched to Blitz's rom.
My kernel version may actually be outdated (even thought I don't think so)
KV
3.0.16-v1.5.2

Build Number
3.33.401.106 CL391535 release-keys
The first flashing that I did was Revolutionary HD 6.6.7 (i think). It worked fine but had problems as well (not perfect ). I want to change my data plan to the T-Mobile nationwide unlimited 4G plan and save me $35 buck a month to tether my PS3 to my phone. (I can do it now.) To test to see if the rom would allow me access to tethering to my PS3, I switched my wife's sim card and mine to simulate the plan and the phone without having the plan active on my account and it's a no go. I switch the sim cards back, it works just fine. Now she can tether via her phone and via mine (if sim cards are switched) to multiple computers and to the wii.

Hi,
Have you tried just using an "OPEN" connection instead of secure?

Thank you for replying!
Well it worked one time a week ago with my wife's sim with WPA2. Since then I had already reverted back to CM9 which was my main rom until ... yesterday when I went through the process of putting all the applications from titanium backup on blitz's rom. I was going to change my plan till tomorrow from the $65 10GB tethering (before work discounts) to the $30 Unlimited Internet (before work discounts). I can try it with it being "open" later today but, i honestly don't think that its the problem because when I use my SIM card (the one with tethering enabled by T-Mobile) it connects with or without encryption.
Any ideas? Any roms that you know of that have wifi hotspot (not ad-hoc only) enabled by default? I looked into Grogg88 solution but, at this time it looks to be enabled in Elegancis' roms now anyway or am I missing something?!

Hi,
I have always tethered my tablet to my phone.
It worked both open and secure on Sense ROMS.
When I switched to CM 10, I could only connect with open. (but ,at least it works,which is all I care about )
I have not tried anything like a PS3,so ,I do not know what else to suggest.
Have you tried an app from the market?
I think "Barnacle" is good.

I understand! I have tried barnacle, wifi tether beta 3.2 (having trouble even getting to work), um... foxfi with and without additional supplimentary application, none of those actually give an Access Point, none ad-hoc (which the PS3 can only connect to). Hell I even have try usb to computer tethering (via bluetooth, wifi, and wired connections), create a computer "MiFi" hotspot and tried to get my PS3 to connect to that Access Point to no avail. Like I said though, all is good with my sim card but if I use my wife's which has Unlimited Nationwide 4G data service to test her data feature on my phone, past that 1st time I tried it with Blitz's rom last week... and the 2nd/last time I tried... this morning... its a no go.
I don't know what they are blocking my PS3... can they see its MAC address!? I can't imagine that the can really "see" it? Everything else works just fine on her phone tethering to it. Desktops, laptops, tablets,.... my 4 year old son's wii! IDk
I just want to not worry about data shortages (going over 10GB limit) and play Borderlands 2.... GOD IS THAT SO WRONG.
PS. I'm switching home internet providing... that one I had sucked (great speeds60mbps, too high $65-70monthly)... but I'm waiting for a deal in the area.
I'll try open though later. If you know anyone else to ask... tell them to please come to this thread!

Hi folks,
I eceived my phone today, and everything seemed to work great until I've tried to go to the internet via my mobile connection.
Everything is slow as hell, and incase you're wondering, nope, I'm not beeing throtled by my carrier.
No idea where it is coming from, but it's kind of enoying.
Any ideas? I'm trying to revert back to stock kernel, since I'm running franco, let's see if that help.
I realize that this might be kind of a stupid question, but did you check to make sure your APN settings were correct? I was having issues with LTE on AT&T here in the U.S. until I updated the APN to better match the expected settings.

Wouldn't hurt to take a look. I've had to make minor tweaks to the APNs for AT&T on the Nexus 4 and now 5 that made noticeable changes to my connectivity. Hope you figure it out.
Well, it seems to be a general carrier issue, my Nexus 4 got the same issue aswell..
So as everyone in here, i'm a early adapter. Once 4.4.3. was released yesterday I had to have it.
For now, I wanted the stock 4.4.3. installed and so I did, but now I have this one annoying thing, my phone keeps telling me i'm roaming.
I'm on a Dutch virtual network Telfort which uses the network of KPN, I think it has something to do with that. Anyone else experience this "problem"/"feature ?
Better yet, does anyone have a workaround to turn this off?
I tried enabling/disabling Roaming , didn't work. Soft reset, re-install etc.. None of those actions worked unfortunately.
No-one has this problem?
why is it a problem? its letting you know that its using a different carriers towers. unless you are getting charged extra, id ignore it.
Me to, also telfort. Have no clue what has changed...
same problem here
Same here, have to keep roaming on...
So no clue if I have 3/4G...
Any solutions??

This is a problem because a lot of people live close to the border. With roaming enabled, you connect automatically with a foreign provider. at high costs.
I've managed to solve it using a work-around:
Downgraded both the bootloader and radio to:
bootloader: hhz11k
Radio: 1.0.25.0.23
wipe(!)
Kept WiFi off & skipped Google account set-up
Saw an H instead of an R above the signal icon
Tested: it works
Data Roaming box is unchecked.
I have got the roaming icon too. I have got Tele2 which uses the network of T-Mobile. I noticed that this is the case since I updated to 4.4.3, so it must be new since then.
Hi folks!
Just got this xperia E3, had my old chip correctly cut to fit on the slot so calls and sms works fine. But I am not able to get data connection. I am in Brazil, using VIVO operator. Does anybody have any hint on what can I try to fix? Have already messed with all configs available, reset to factory defaults and started over, but no luck.
Could this be a baseband issue? Or what?
Tks, best regards.

Did you try to contact you mobile network provider and rule out the possible problem on its side?
Because one of the usual cases is the wrong profile for internet connection in the phone. So, maybe the settings weren't adjusted automatically and you have to call you mobile carrier and check you own settings asking to what help desk is telling you.

I dig on the internet and checked its settings, they seem fine. After a while I tried a totally illogic workaround: moved SIM card from slot1 to slot2, and voilá. It seems to sort of work, got edge connection at least. Went back to slot1 and again, no connection.
Seems a common issue on dual-chip mobiles, a fried told me. Have you seen that?

What did you say to Verizon when you called? I just spoke with them and they turned off the hotspot feature, then re-synced the network settings and it's still doing the "Connected, no internet". Did you have them change anything else or change any other settings on the phone?
Does anyone have any more information on this issue? I just went in to a Verizon store and watched them disable the feature, rebooted my phone, and still have the same "Connected, no internet" issue. I know the hotspot on my account works since I can put my SIM in my LG V30 and use it fine. Any other suggestions?? It's not a huge deal but I would really like to get the hotspot working
