This is a bit of a late post, but data problems with the new APN, AT&T NextGenPhone, can be caused by your AT&T account having provisioning for an older device, or an iPhone. I found out that my account was provisioned for an iPhone 4 and I was unable connect to the data network when I updated to D80020y and sometimes I had LTE problems on previous firmwares. After calling to have my provisioning changed, all problems regarding my data went away. Also, changing the APN back can sometimes work of course.
I was told I could not Wifi Tether on Ipv6?? But I AM?? Ok here' what I did and try it . I have the LG G3 Android 4.4.2 T-Mobile. Wifi tether works on it too but first i got to start wifi tether on the APN i created ipv4 and connect to my labtop. Now when I"m connected go to settings on my LG G3 phone to APN settings and click back on Tmobile set APN ipv6. It works and faster. I google ipv6 and it said ipv6 wont wifi tether But im wifi tethering on ipv6 now. Well i was hoping you could do something with this. If you got tmobile just try my steps and see it works.
it depends

This is not uniform for android. There are some versions with support IPv6-Hotspot/Tethering and there are some versions without.
The google-version of android (nexus series) doesn't support IPv6-Hotspot/Tethering.
Good to Know
I Never new that. Im new to android. Took me about 100dollars and a Bricked phone to figerout how to root android. Lol!!. Well it works on ipv6 LG G3 tmobile for tmobile users. Thank You.
Hello,
I'm having trouble using my phone in roaming. My home mobile provider is Vip net., in Croatia. I'm currently in England, and my phone is currently connected to Vodafone network, which a partner of Vip.
I'm unable to get mobile data connection unless I'm connected to Vodafone 4G network. When I do a manual scan of networks, I can see (most of the time) three instances of each network (4G/WCDMA/GSM). Whenever my phone decides to switch from 4G to WCDMA or GSM, I lose the mobile connection.
APN is of course set correctly since otherwise I wouldn't be able to connect to the network on 4G (I've even had my provider send me the APN configuration message to make sure that's correct - I also tried various modifications to settings of the same).
I've talked with my providers technical support and they haven't been able to provide me with a solution, so I'm wondering if anyone here might have a clue about what is happening?
I've tried doing some basic diagnostic with adb, but haven't been able to gather much from modem logs, which I've attached here, and I would be grateful if anyone would take a look.
Here is the log, please note that it starts with me turning on mobile data and ends with me turning it off:

The phone in question is LG G5, Android 7.0 Nougat, Stock rom. (I had the same issue on 6.0)
Thanks guys!
Hello all and thank you for your time,
I recently updated my Verizon GS6 from Lollipop to Nougat using the Verizon Wireless Software Upgrade Assistant because the update wouldn't occur using the phone's update software feature. Since updating I've lost the ability to use the LTE network by any means at all. I have no data whatsoever, as the APN settings have been altered through this update. I am registered to Straight Talk Wireless and the phone is trying to connect to Verizon using a generic APN. I'd love to change the APN setting but the phone will not allow me to edit anything but the name of the APN. Adding or editing further is completely colored out.
So far I've tried:
1. Soft resets
2. Hard resets
3. Wiping the cache
4. Swapping SIMS of all 4 networks
5. Turning Wi-Fi on and off Turning Mobile data on and off
6. Searching all throughout the internet for answers
So if no one has the answer how to fix this situation is it possible to reverse my update and head back to Lollipop? Is it possible to root the phone to somehow access the APN settings by other means?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I need to use data for my job.
Thanks!
Tethering w/T-Mobile & EasyTether now counted as tethering (SIM1/SIM2 issue or DPI)?
Hi Everyone,
Been using my OP6 and loving it on TMobile. I noticed, as with other unlocked phones, tethering with EasyTether USB does not get detected as tethering...until today. For example, last month I had 0.0GB Tethering and did occasionally tether with Easy Tether.
My cable modem was acting up today and I switched to Easy Tether to do a WebEx video call (and forgot about it)...and happened to check and they counted 1.1 GB of tethering in 4 hours -- ouch!
The only change was I switched the SIM card to SIM slot 1 a few days ago, as it had been in SIM 2 because of some VM clearing issue I read about.
I am wondering if they detected tethering in because of SIM1 vs. SIM2, or did deep packet inspection and picked something up?
BTW...I also noticed today that tethering was slower than it usually was...not throughput which is usually 70-80Gbits around here, but more latency (like they were monitoring something).
Has anyone gotten WiFi Tether Router working on this phone? Any other thoughts?
BTW -- I did switch back to SIM2 because my VM's have not been getting erased since using SIM1. Also rooted on OOS 5.1.9 if that matters.
I also have a 3 year VPN subscription so I can avoid DPI but it's a hassle...

How are you using it? Without a vpn or with a vpn? Because I have read Sprint and T-Mobile are really looking at vpn usage, And T-mobile has been warning people and Sprint counting as hotspot. I personally on my own if no one knows about this would run it over a https tunnel, then your vpn is hidden the software is called stunnel. Many vpn providers use stunnel now, you just have to enable it.
Just noticed it has been awhile since they were last on here.

This will cover you 95% f the time, and you don't even need VPN or EasyTether:
1) Install VPN Hotspot (great open source app), use it to turn on system WiFi tethering, and then route all the traffic over WAN0 even if you are not using a VPN.
2) Note that root su "Settings put global tether_dun_required = 0" should do the same thing, but you can do both to be sure.
3) Install Change TTL, set enable on boot, and tell it to set TTL to 64.
Now occasionally, T-Mobile will still detect some tethering, but it only picks up maybe 5%, and even if you go over the limit they don't seem to be able to throttle since your traffic is routed over the non tethering APN. They may also be detecting some because I am not sure if Change TTL supports IPV6...the IPV6 TTL setting is Hop Limit or HL and since TMobile uses IPv6 by default...? To test this if you care, you could setup an IPv4 APN.
Regarding VPN -- I think they may automatically count this as tether, but I don't really know. I have NordVPN and a PPTP VPN to our home and vacation home and could test further, but I haven't because you don't really need a VPN.
Hope this helps,

What is the limit on tethering? I've never run into a problem but don't use it much either.

On my plan TMobile 1+ for business it is 10G before throttling.
One month my home internet was down and I was tethering and had switched to iDrive cloud backup from CrashPlan so for two days it was just blasting data through the tethering connection. It registered 35.1 GB Tethering and 389 GB of non-tethering (nearly all tethering) and was still not throttling at all.
Besides that one special case, I have never registered more than 1 or 2GB tethering using the method outlined above even though I have probably used well over 10 a few times....

Sounds like I don't need to worry about it then. I only use it for my android deck in my truck. Mostly music
