I've been searching now for about 45 mins(my phone got here an hour ago) and I can't find a definitive answer about how to get data working for T-Mobile on the AT&T Fuze. (I know... I know... I can't 3G since this phone doesn't support the 1700 band but Edge is good enough for now)
Any insight on how to get this working would be really appreciated. I know that there was a network wizard in a bunch of old Wizard ROMS that would allow you to set your carrier and it auto-configured.
Does such a method exist for the Touch Pro?

I think I found what I was looking for. Took a while but I finally found it.
Just in case you might still be a little lost, here's the link to get all the settings you need.

Could you post a link? I'm on t-mobile, too, but don't have a data plan. I would like to know the particulars, just in case.
you could just flash a ROM like ROMeOS or Lantis and they set up the connection automatically

I found and used the Network Wizard Cab attached below. It didn't really seem to work that well though. You can try it if you like but I recommend inputting the data settings manually.

That actually didn't help because T-Mobile doesn't support the AT&T Fuze. Thanks for trying though bro.
do a search for tmobyjoe cabs there are a few different cabs you can use to set up data depending on wich data plan you have
use the this link:
http://tmobileuspublic.wdsglobal.com/
and select the wing for data and mms. It will work fine
Come on.. is it REALLY all that hard guys ? The AT&T Fuze is no different than any other Windows Mobile device that TMobile supports. Your options are simple... Call TMobile, tell them you have a "Wing" or any other touchscreen PPC they might sell and have them walk you through the settings. OR, add a new connection yourself and input "wap.voicestream.com" as the access point. Simple as that. ORRRR, use the attached cab.... LOL
A little late, but better than never.
The above CAB and the previous TmoByJoe CABs still point to the old wap.voicestream.com APN that requires the 216.155.165.50:8080 proxy which only supports HTTP requests. This has been replaced in favor of the epc.tmobile.com APN which does not require a proxy and therefore supports many more protocols/apps (FTP, VPN, Remote Desktop, IM clients, TF3d weather, etc).
Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Select Networks > Edit your Tmobile connection or create a New connection > Edit or New Modem with APN epc.tmobile.com, no user/pass/domain, no proxy.
The epc.tmobile.com APN may not be accessible in all areas yet, so if you're having trouble connecting to it you may need to stay with the old wap.voicestream.com APN for the time being.
First you might wanna flash to the Rapheal stock ROM(Use the Wiki to find it), Then use the auto connection setup inside the connections tab of settings. Once you do the auto connection setup go into connections (inside the connections tab) go to mangae connections, you should see t-mobile data as the name, but go to edit and leave the name as t-mobile data click next and change from wap...whatever to
(internet2.voicestream.com) Next all you have to do is add the $24.99 unlimited data package through the unsupported handset customer service. tell them you already changed the settings already so you can be ready to go. but it can take up to 48 or 72 hours to be fully activated. trust me im using t-mobile data right now.
do not use the method above my post from fhsieh, that is not the right info. use my method as it is from t-mobile directly.
the info above your post is correct and will work! the epc.tmobile.com settings are mostly used by people with tzones 5.99 plan to get full internet but will also work with unlimited data plan.
i have been with t-mobile for a long time now and for the unlimted data internet2.voicestream.com is the correct access point name. maybe for the t-zones lol you can use what u said. And i just changed my settings and could not access the web from using epc.tmobile.com.
Internet and internet2.voicestream.com as well as epc have all been very unreliable to me. It's the reason I still use wap.voicestream.com It works very well with my unlimited plan and it works the 5.99 Tzones option if you also put in the proxy details.
I am using the $5.99 tzones plan and the epc.tmobile.com APN works very well for me, I have had absolutely no connection problems and all of my programs work without having to go through the HTTP proxy. Again I mentioned that it's not going to work in all areas, but if it happens to work in your area there is a general agreement that it is better than the old wap.voicestream.com APN, as it gives you essentially the same features as the Total Internet plan (no hard bandwidth limit) at reduced cost.
Only testing will tell which APN works best for you, but this way at least you know about the three APNs that Tmobile uses.
All three of us have given good trouble shooting info..sorry for the bashing in my other posts. has this info helped the kid.
Ok, i talked to tmobile and the maximum limit of data usage on the $5.99 T-Zones is 50 Megabytes. Is this true? Does this mean I can't tether without being charged? or are they just saying that so that you don't over use it?
(I mean for godsakes its EDGE, it's already so slow, it should be free)
This weekend I moved from StraightTalk (w/ATT SIM) to ATT. Everything worked fine on ST, but now that I'm on ATT directly.. I cannot receive MMS.
I can do everything fine -- send/receive SMS, access the Internet at LTE speeds, send MMS. I've tried a bunch of APN's and my current settings are below.
Any thoughts on what to switch would be greatly appreciated! Since I'm on a Nexus 5, AT&T has basically shrugged their shoulders and said, It's not an ATT phone, so all the features may not work.

APN: phone
Proxy: not set
Port: not set

MMSC: ://mmsc.mobile.att.net (removed the http to get past the newbie link filter)
MMS Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net

It's been 48+ hours -- seems like long enough for things to sort themselves out or it can take longer than that?
No one has said the APN is wrong... I was hoping some other folks with a Nexus 5 on ATT would be able to comment/confirm that what I have works for them.

No joy. Wi-fi is off, data is on (I can get to Google). I've also tried with LTE enabled and then at 3G (LTE off). Pictures continue to send fine, but just won't receive them.
Even if Wi-fi is on, I don't receive pictures.
I guess I'll wait another couple of days and see. Worst comes to worst, I can switch back to StraightTalk w/ATT sim and be where I was. Seems odd to work correctly on a second tier (in my mind anyway) carrier and not a first tier one.
Thanks!

Yeah, really not a reason that it's not working. What size MMS are you trying to send?
I've tried about 20 different pictures that I've sent historically, plus AT&T Support couldn't send me pictures... nor could any friends. I don't know the size of any of the images. Just for fun, I've tried four different SMS/MMS apps, yeah I know.. that shouldn't matter at all.
On occasion the app has said "resizing image" before letting attache and send it, so some were "large".

I just tried that and didn't work.
And, I would like to officially stack claim to my status as an anomaly. I had one (1)picture that I sent myself today out of about 50 that actually went through. That's right, one was sent/received.. no setting or anything changed and back to can't receive.
I did also try deleting all APNs, rebooting the phone (taking the "clean things out" idea to an extreme) and manually typed in the APN.. no good.
Could my problem be with the Message Center Number? I've seen that referenced in a few places... but as I can send, it seems that wouldn't be the issue.
If I dial *#*#4636#*#* and go into Phone Information, the SMSC is blank. While I can type info into it, there's no "save" or "update" option...
If I hit refresh it populates with "+131323149810",145
Part in "s looks right for ATT, but again... no way to save it. The Update button doesn't 'seem to do anything.

It's definitely a weird problem for sure. It's one of those problems that if I had the phone in front of me...it might be a different story.

I pick up my phone today. I will root and make the change suggested. I will report back ASAP.
Just a quick question. I have a 5GB Tethering limit and an Unlimited (No throttle) native Data Limit. Will this mod remove the tethering limit? Will T-Mo still see my usage or will this mod replace my Tethering with my native data plan (Unlimited) I only ask because I would greatly like to avoid any unexpected charges.
Thanks,

I would also like to know if it will be available for AT&T. It is very important to me as I have it in my S4. My WiFi is very spotty at home and I use my tethering everyday when I need it to be reliable for a few min.

How to make your APN editable, follow step 3
XDA Link
Settings for Wi-Fi Tether Rooter
For Samsung Galaxy S5 using this config
Interface wlan0
Method 3 - HostApd
Encryption wpa2-psk
Channel 1
Drivers nl80211
"HostApd Patch" <- UNCHECKED
"No Firmware Reload" <- UNCHECKED
Detailed instructions from this thread ....
First your phone needs to be rooted, then you need to have ES File Explorer installed on your phone. You can use ES File Explorer to edit the file in the system folder.
1. Open ES File Explorer
2. Pull up the Menu for it (hold down the multitask button for that)
3. Tap on Tools
4. Turn on Root Explorer
5. Tap on Root Explorer on the left side and go to Mount R/W
6. Make sure all of the settings are set to RW, tap OK
7. Up top tap / that should take you to the root of the phone,
Now you should be able to follow the instructions to make your APN Editable. Make sure to also edit the one above the Tethering APN and enable it to be editable.
When you click on the file it opens it up in read only, you have to hit the menu in the top right corner to edit the file.
Be very careful and only change what he tells you to change. I would make a back up of the file and place it somewhere you know you can find it.
Once you have enabled the APN and saved the file restart your phone. Once you are restarted navigate to where the APN's are. System Settings, More Networks, Mobile Networks, Access Point Names. Once you are there click on the top right corner and tap Reset to Default. That should pull down the new settings so you can edit your APN settings.
Then follow these instructions.
Need to change your APN, simply navigate to Settings > More > Mobile networks > Access Point Names. Select your T-Mobile APN, and scroll to APN protocol. Change this to IPv4, and then save your APN

I would be concerned about ATT detecting this if you are grandfathered in. Waiting myself to see if there is a workaround like vpn.
not a native bypass but works....
All I do is, Replace TetheringProvision.apk with the modded one, change the permissions to 644 (rw-r--r--), go into customer.xml and change all non ims profiles to ipv4 (leave the ims protocols ipv6 or else VoLTE and WiFi-Calling will not work), go to settings and change the apn by adding dun to default,mms,supl and change it to ipv4. Then I reboot my phone. No reset apns needed. In this state you will still use hotspot allotment. That is because T-mobile is using user-agent strings to decipher device being used. Only way to fix that is to get a vpn and use it on the devices you connect to your hotspot. I have used almost a terabyte of data downloading tv shows and movies with no warnings or hotspot data allotment being used. The only allotment that gets used is the little bit that gets through while you connect to your vpn.
I'm trying to unlock the Hotspot on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Cricket. I can't find any guides; there are several for the Sprint variant, but I can't find any for Cricket and the method doesn't seem the same.
I bought my phone retail for sticker price - I own it and no goofy contracts. Cricket wants to charge me $10/month for a hotspot, which is ridiculous - I'm already paying for my plan and paying for my data; I'm not going to pay for it again. I had tethering on my HTC One under the same Cricket plan, also without paying extra.
Haven't rooted yet, but I will do so if it's required to get Hotspot working - but I can't find any guides, even with a rooted phone.
Any help? Thanks in advance.
Should have bought the tmobile unlocked version, works on my tmobile note 4.. all I did was buy it unlocked from swappa, works very well... you will have to root it, not sure u can with the cricket model.. what's the model number on the phone? Always wondered where there got there phones from

That's odd, I'm on Verizon, I would assume they could block it before cricket could and mine works flawlessly. Are you sure you're setting it up right?

Kind of an unorthodox way but here it is. 1st - make a new apn with the following settings.
Name: whatever you want
Apn: ndo
Proxy: proxy.cricketwireless.net
Port: 80
MMSC: http://mmsc.aiowireless.net
MULTIMEDIA MESSAGE PROXY: proxy.aiowireless.net
MULTIMEDIA MESSAGE PORT: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 150
APN TYPE: default,mms,hipri,supl,fota
The rest leave blank and save it.
2nd now select the new apn you just created and wait for it to connect. Once it does go back into hotspot and turn it on. It should provision now(allowing you use hotspot).
3rd go back to your apn's and Re select your original apn(while the hotspot is active). Should be good to go.

Worked for me with Cricket Wireless and an unlocked AT&T SM-G930A. At least I've got hotspot- which is great. The trick is that you have to switch APN's every time you want to enable hotspot, then switch back to actually use the Internet. (update 3: I'm not 100% sure you have to switch back. I'm still testing.)
UPDATE: It only works for about 10 minutes, then shuts off by some daemon or another. AGH this is frustrating!
UPDATE 2: It appears that it only shuts down if no devices are connected. I have it up and running for quite a while now (over 1/2 hour). My Nexus 5 had given me no surprises on this; it just worked (using my exact same Cricket account and phone number).
UPDATE 3: After 4 hours of ping'ing Google, I can say that it's reliable and it stays up. Furthermore, it works on both the original APN and the one recommended here. However the cellphone will not work with the new APN. Switching between APNs seems to incur only a 3 second outage on my hotspot connection, and then it continues on, pretty as you please.
Not so great is that I've had Google Nexii up until this week, and this is my first time bumping into this bull****. I never even knew it existed! What a horrible business practice. This stuff should be illegal. I am paying for 5GB of data. How I download that data is my business. Hopefully they won't somehow munge my system and take this away. If they do, I'll go to T-Mobile or something. Not because they're better, just because these carriers should know that if they screw a happy customer, that customer will leave for elsewhere.
</rant> But thanks, enigma!!! You've done a great service to your country.

If they do, I'll go to T-Mobile or something. Not because they're better, just because these carriers should know that if they screw a happy customer, that customer will leave for elsewhere.
</rant> But thanks, enigma!!! You've done a great service to your country.

Thanks for the reply. I mainly use the apn that enables the hotspot but I don't have a timeout issue like your describing. I keep my doner cheap cricket phone plugged in and hotspot on 24/7 with or without devices connected. Something for me to look into though.

Also there should be a setting in regards to hotspot timeout when it's inactive. I set mine to never

Anyone on the Unlimited plan from cricket? If so whats the highest amount of data used?

You can PROBABLY do this without root IF you can coax Sprint into giving you your MSL code, go to the dialer and type ##3283#, going to APN Settings and hitting edit.
THIS method, however, only works if youve ran DirtySanta and rooted your device. I saw a few threads of ppl asking how to get it working so....here's how i did it.
Go to Settings-->Networks-->More-->Mobile Data-->Access Point Names-->Add APN
Name: Sprint LTE 2
APN: n.ispsn
MMSC: http://mms.sprintpcs.com
MMS Proxy: 68.38.21.7
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 120
APN Type: default,mms,supl,dun,hipri
APN Protocol: IPV4/IPV6
APN Roaming Protocol: IPV4/IPV6
Leave everything else untouched
Hit Menu-->Save
Select the new APN you just created
Turn on hotspot
For some reason, after you turn on hotspot you may have to manually set the DNS on whichever device you're using to 8.8.8.8 otherwise the internet doesnt work. Not sure why that is, but after i did that, my hotspot works.
If youre using an android tablet with your hotspot and have to change the dns(you'll know because it'll say you're connect to the hotspot but you can't browse any websites), then on your tablet go to your wifi settings, long click on your hotspot youre connected to, click "show advanced options" and change Dynamic to Static (may say manual). After that, scroll down and change the setting for DNS 1 to 8.8.8.8. Should work after that.
I used to use hotspot a lot about a year ago with my note 5(7-10 gb/month average) and never got dinged for it. I would think that if you're cool about it youll be ok. I cant say that FOR SURE but I've never had issues.
Just for the record. I tried everything before rooting. I paid off my phone so they couldn't deny me my MSL. The options are simply missing after entering your MSL code. You can see everything with ##DEBUG# (can't remember the numbers ) but they made sure to remove the option when I used ##3282#. This was the Main reason why I rooted. After rooting it didn't work so I had to figure it out.

Just Clarify you attempted without root and it did not work. You then attempted with root and it still did not work. So while rooted you used them method the OP posted and it worked. ?

I attempted without root and the options were not available for the most part and what little they had, most can't be edited even when I imputed my MSL. Sprint made sure that it wasn't possible without root. There is no add apn option.
After root, I immediately tried to use hotspot and it connected but my devices couldn't get internet services. I asked for help but me2151's hotspot worked well so I figured that I was on my own. I remember adding dun on my lg g4 so I tried the codes but I couldn't get any of the codes to even register on my newly rooted phone.
I finally found the found those setting by searching and saw that "DUN" wasn't there. I then made a new APN with the existing settings but added DUN and it worked so I posted it.
By the lack of responses, I figured that almost no one had the problem.
BTW, how did you figure out adding the apn would work? I remembered a post on the LG G4 forum over a year ago and tried it for this phone.
Merry Christmas
Sprint Hotspot Fix (not passing data to connected devices)
The following is the fix when you can connect to the Hotspot but get DNS errors or no data being passed to connected devices.
Sprint prevents you from editing your APNs
You can change permissions on your telephony db with this command:
adb shell
su
chmod 666 /data/user_de/0/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
Grab the ID of your current APN using the following command:
adb shell
content query --uri content://telephony/carriers/preferapn
If the type doesn't contain "dun", copy the existing type string and add ",dun" to the end:
In the following command you would substitute
your current type string for "your_type_here",
and the _id for your_id_here:
adb shell
su
content update --uri content://telephony/carriers --where "_id=your_id_here" --bind type:s:your_type_here,dun
Example
adb shell
content query --uri content://telephony/carriers/preferapn
Output
Row: 0 _id=656, name=Sprint LTE internet, numeric=310120, mcc=310, mnc=120, apn=n.ispsn, user=, server=, password=, proxy=, port=, mmsproxy=68.28.31.7, mmsport=80, mmsc=http://mms.sprintpcs.com, authtype=-1, type=default,mms,supl,hipri, current=1, protocol=IPV4V6, roaming_protocol=IPV4V6, carrier_enabled=1, bearer=14, bearer_bitmask=0, dns1=, dns2=, ppp_dialing_number=ppp_dialing_number, defaultsetting=1, usercreatesetting=0, sim_subscription=0, inactivetimer=0, mvno_type=, mvno_match_data=, sub_id=2147483643, profile_id=0, modem_cognitive=0, max_conns=0, wait_time=0, max_conns_time=0, mtu=0, edited=0, user_visible=1, touch=0
adb shell
su
content update --uri content://telephony/carriers --where "_id=656" --bind type:s:default,mms,supl,hipri,dun
I ran into this issue on my Pixel XL and was helped by @Fenny to come up with a fix
do u need root?
Seems to be that you do, his post above said that without it he was missing the ability to edit parts that needed to be changed. I have yet to see a version of these edits for hotspot provisioning that didn't require rooting to be able to edit the appropriate files.
thank you everyone, you need root to edit the APN settings. I'm waiting a solid method to restore to stock before I root. again thanks everyone for their effort.

I realized you couldn't edit the default apn for Sprint so i created a new one since i was already rooted to see if it would work

hey guys just an FYI, you don't have to go through all the trouble of making a new APN setting and stuff like that which is quite frankly a pain in the ass; get shortcut master (free version is fine) from play store. Open it and from the menu tap search, and let it load a sec. Search for "APN" and look near the top of the results for the "ApnUnlock" intent from hidden menu. Tap it's choose the far left Launch method button. The next screen will let you unlock APN access, you just tap the button, you can't miss it.
After its unlocked, launch the ApnSettings intent two lines down in the search results. You can now edit the sons you already have (just add ,dun). That's all it takes. If that ApnSettings doesn't do it, scroll down a page and choose the vzw one, its never failed me once yet through 4 LG phones.
My hotspot works now like it should, I never had to change any DNS settings or anything like that. Zjyst Unlock, then add ,dun to end of the APN type line.
P.S. this method requires root, Im unaware of any way around that, unfortunately

If anything. That is the EXACT program that I was looking for. A shortcut maker but with root access. I use shortcutmaker but it always says that it needs permission. This one asks for permission. Thanks.
This is a far better way too. I did the whole apn thing a few weeks back because I didn't know of this program.
Does anyone know if this counts on the 5gb data free hotspot or is it simply unlimited ? I have the unlimited plan and it includes 5 gb free hot spot.

data used for the hotspot will go against the regular unlimited data. as far as sprint is concerned, its undistinguishable

Settings > Mobile data > Mobile networks > Access Point Names. I literally figured this out while drunk at a bar from the information that was already in this thread, so if you can't figure it out on your own, you probably don't deserve free wireless tethering in the first place.

Also these options aren't available under access point names... Are you rooted?

I also managed to get it working without root. I went to Settings > Mobile data > Mobile networks > Access Point Names, and on the upper right, I clicked the 3 dots and hit Add APN. I copied the settings in the first post, and selected it as my APN afterwards. I'm not sure why I have the option to add new ones, I'm unrooted on LS997ZVC.
