[HTC Amaze 4G] devcurious:
Looks like I won't be so quick to sell my Vibrant.

Tethering still work like a champ on that.
[HTC Amaze 4G] NCguy:
May be the case on the amaze. I have definitely seen a mix bag of people posting that they are able to do it on the sgs2.
[HTC Amaze 4G] BiGMERF:
i was thinking the same thing with my sensation. but i was also told that the sensation and most phones sold that have gingerbread will be getting small maintenance updates that will block it
[HTC Amaze 4G] NCguy:
So if you root your phone you can probably add tethering but then lose wifi calling when it becomes available. Looks like a no win here.
[HTC Amaze 4G] BiGMERF:
the att take over has begun.....
[HTC Amaze 4G] devcurious:
Well, I know I don't have to worry about any Gingerbread updates to my Vibrant. LOL

I currently have CM7 on it anyway, and tethering works just fine. I think the Sensation is supported by CM as well. Then you don't have to worry about an OTA that disables it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] NCguy:
Yup, CM7 is great but again you can kiss tmo wifi calling goodbye if you go that route. Why not just get a Nexus prime if you go that route?
[HTC Amaze 4G] devcurious:
No, no. I meant that I may just hang on to my Vibrant in addition to my Amaze, just for when I have a need to tether. I was going to sell it.

Just have to see how this all plays out. Glad I didn't try to sell it immediately, like I started to do.
[HTC Amaze 4G] NCguy:
Are you going to swap sim cards or have two accounts? Would be nice if you could at least dup the sim card and just use one phone powered up at a time without having to swap cards. If I had multiple sims for the same account I would do the same thing with my two nexus ones.
[HTC Amaze 4G] devcurious:
Interesting question. When I get home tonight, I'll see if tethering still works with this new SIM card on a device that I know functioned with the old card.
[HTC Amaze 4G] BiGMERF:
def works for me... negative in the amaze or sgs2 but fine in my sensation
[HTC Amaze 4G] NCguy:
Did you get to hang on to the old card(s) when you got a new phone? I thought they deactivated or made you swap?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ba-b4:
Man this blows... You guys are just talking about wifi tethering right? Has anyone tested regular tethering? Like with the USB cable and software like EasyTether and PDANet? I just need some kind of tethering capability. Thx!
[HTC Amaze 4G] devcurious:
They deactivated it, but I still have it.

What I'm saying is that if I take the SIM card from my Amaze, where the wifi tether is not working, and put in my Vibrant, where I know the wifi tether was working, we would at least know if it is the phone or the SIM card that is limiting the functionality, on the Amaze.

I think that confusion is that I didn't mean I would have the Vibrant and Amaze "active" simultaneously. I don't tether regularly. If I needed to tether, switch my SIM card to the Vibrant, tether. Then when I 'm done, switch it back to the Amaze.
[HTC Amaze 4G] NCguy:
Yep, I get that. I was just wondering if there was a way to have more than one sim card for the same account so you wouldn't have to swap cards to use the other phone. I say this realizing that if it worked you wouldn't be able to have both powered up at the same time. I think I heard in the past that people somehow did end up with multiple active cards. I may actually like to keep my nexus one for the same reason you want your old phone and it would be a bit more convenient if I didn't actually have to swap cards. If anyone knows to end up with multiple cards for the same account please post.
[HTC Amaze 4G] CubeShin:
I'm pretty sure this works. I've read where other people have done this. I'm keeping my HD2 just for this same reason. I don't tether much, but when I do, I can just swap the SIM in.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Turboboxer:
Obviously I am a noob... why is everyone after wifi calling so bad?

Is it that at your house or somewhere you have no t-mo signal but have wifi available?
[HTC Amaze 4G] BiGMERF:
for me it saves me with minutes... wifi calls are not deducted from your minutes.. all you have to do is call and add the feature.
[HTC Amaze 4G] devcurious:
Also, if you have weak or no signal, in a place with wifi, your phone will still be fully functional.
[HTC Amaze 4G] thephunk:
Yes, it works.
[HTC Amaze 4G] BiGMERF:
wow this my be one the main deciding factors in me getting the amaze vs the sgs2.. it blocked on it.. i mean its there but you cant make video calls
[HTC Amaze 4G] thephunk:
Yes, it works. It is something with the phone, not the SIM. Using my new SIM in my Amaze, tethering does not work. New SIM in Sensation or G2x, tethering works.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Minker17:
Man, didn't know tethering was blocked on this. I have aG2x and was getting ready to switch, but this is a bummer. I don't even tether that much, maybe once every 2 months, but I like the option!
[HTC Amaze 4G] scottslc:
I have the same problem. I came from the mytouch 4g, tethering worked fine. On the amaze, the tethering was disabled. (it would connect to my tab but the screen showed a tmobile site where i could sign up for $15 buck tethering plan) I put the sim back in my mytouch and had my tethering back. I called moma mobile and chatted with teck support. She said the new phones have the capability to check your account and verify whether or not you have paid tethering. Bummer!

So here's the question, when is root for the amaze available??? Hurry smart programming people. btw, i tried Z4 Root on the amaze. it just hung. No go.

[HTC Amaze 4G] pcgeek86:
I'll probably have to forego the Amaze if it doesn't allow wifi tethering. I use it very regularly. Too bad since it looks like a really nice device ....
[HTC Amaze 4G] bladerunner0427:
I was about to sell my Vibrant and then I tried to tether my NookColor to my Amaze and I realized I had to pay for the feature. WTF T-Mobile? I mean, why charge $15/month additional for a feature I rarely use. Only use it when my girl needs a wi-fi connection for her iPad while on the road. Besides, once we hit that 2gb limit on the data plan, throttling kicks in so I don't think it's fair to charge an extra $15/month with no extra data. I hope someone comes up with a hack - preferably a root-free hack. I'm really pissed at T-Mobile.
[HTC Amaze 4G] coair73x:
Yes I tested PDANet (free version) USB tether and it worked great. I don`t really tether that much but sad to lose this option. I guess if I used it every week I would have to spring the $15.
[HTC Amaze 4G] HD1:
Have old SIM and tethering works fine.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Yoop33:
I have tried both an old sim and the provided new sim for both the SG2 and Amaze and both were not able to tether with out the additional $15 package. I tether daily with my Vibrant so this is going to be an issue. According to TMO, the new sims are to enable proper wifi calling on these two devices going forward from Nov 15th (I think that was the date). After that, old sims will no longer be able to make wifi calls, and I would assume if you are able to tether on your old sim in the new phone, that will also be disabled.

So I'm thinking a proper root is inevitable to use the mobile hotspot with out paying for it after Nov 15th.
[HTC Amaze 4G] imnothimm:
With root, if you delete tethering manager the built in tethering options will work without the 14$ pan
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Specifics please. I've tried that and nothing worked.
[HTC Amaze 4G] djdanska:
I found an app that listed the apn's on the phone and it listed a hidden apn of pcweb.tmobile.com and i put that in manually as an apn when i was with one of the third party roms and it blocked tethering. When i used internet2.voicestream.com, it worked fine. The default configuration somehow forces tethering to go through the pcweb.tmobile.com apn instead of the epc apn. Maybe we can find an app or hack to manually edit hidden apn's.
[HTC Amaze 4G] droidux:
Not sure what the issues are, but I was able to get wifi tethering to work using android wifi. I followed some guide here about changing the APN and it's working for me. I never had the issue with seeing the TM hotspot plan. I would just connect but no internet. After changing the APN it worked fine.

However, when at work I don't get a great signal on this phone for some reason and internet usually doesn't work. On my old my touch and galaxy S it was slow but always worked. Maybe some issue with the radio on the Amaze. Kind of annoying for such a nice phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Teo032:
delete the old apns, not the mms one, just the US and DATA ones. Make a new one with same apn: epc.tmobile.com.

This usually works best on a new Flash, new factory reset, or before you ever use wifi calling or wifi tethering. If it doesn't work, reflash your rom, or factory reset your phone if on stock. Xboarder roms should have free tethering already.
[HTC Amaze 4G] nyknicks8:
I used APN Manager to delete all the hidden APNs. I had probably over 20. After that Wifi tethering worked perfectly.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ultraman69:
editing the apn worked...thanks guys.

i used apn manager to delete all but the first "tethering data" apn and edited that one to use the epc apn. it worked as soon as i started tethering...
[HTC Amaze 4G] JaiaV:
All new T-Mobile phones: HTC Amaze and the SGSII and newer (such as the two new LG MyTouch phones), are designed within the OS to use the new pcweb.tmobile.com for all tethering using the built-in tethering options. This APN is blocked by T-Mobile unless you have a tethering feature on your account. Older phones that only use the epc.tmobile.com APN do not have this issue.
[HTC Amaze 4G] NCguy:
I have an unrooted gsm GN that I am using on tmo without the tmo tethering option in the contract. The APN says epc. tmobile.com and last night I tried mobile hotspot and it seemed to work fine. I only have edge at this location. Should I expect for tethering and hotspot to stop working or possibly fail on 3g?
[HTC Amaze 4G] JaiaV:
The Galaxy Nexus isn't an official T-Mobile device and therefore hasn't been programmed to use the pcweb.tmobile.com APN,....
[HTC Amaze 4G] Marquis63:
just used apn manager to delete all tethering data apns and configured the first one on the list to epc, tethering works great lol. Thanks for the heads up
[HTC Amaze 4G] mylexon20s:
I just did the same thing and now its working great ! ! used APN Manager from the market !!
[HTC Amaze 4G] tu_mamita:
Is root necessary? What are you supposed to change apn to?

Tu_mamita Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
[HTC Amaze 4G] howhi50:
Apn manager did the trick. Thanks!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Marquis63:
I deleted all but the first "tethering data" apn, reconfigured it to epc.tmobile.com with the same settings in Tmobile data, left all the ones above it alone. I have found though that my tethering connection is slower than if I payed the $14.99 a month, your choice!

---------- Post added at 05:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 AM ----------

Root not needed, download APN Manager from market, open app, click on apn list long press apn's to edit, delete new apn done, use the same settings as in Tmobile data at top :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] djdanska:
Then try one of the many apn's available for us. Such as internet2.voicetream.com, internet3.voicestream.com, and wap.voicestream.com

I used internet2.voicestream.com and got 19Mb/s down in naperville, IL yesterday.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rayluc25:
After upgrading to the leaked ICS rom, tethering is locked again by T-Mobile. Before, all I did was delete the APN and tethering worked fine, but I can't seem to find any APN settings to manually edit in ICS.

Also, when I try to use apnmanager or another app, it "fails and closes."

So, with the new ICS rom, are we stuck without free tethering?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Look harder for apn settings. Click on the mobile network from quick settings. Not the toggle, the word moblie network. There u will find apn

Get Tether to work w/o changing APN

As crazy as it sounds, the following is what I've been doing since I got my amaze back in December to get wifi tethering to work. Works with ICS as well

Download and install Barnacle Wifi Tether and "Wireless Tether for Root Users" from the Play Store.

- Open Barnacle and start the tethering. ( First time you start you may get a "Barnacle had trouble starting wap_supplicant. Try again but set 'Skip wpa_supplicant' in settings." click Do IT Now! Then start tether again)

- Once Barnacle is running, go ahead and stop it.

- Now open "Wifi Tether". (if on ICS, Hit the menu > Settings > Change Device-Profile > Generic ICS). Now press screen to start tethering.

- On device you want to tether, connect it to "Android-Tether" ssid or what ever you named the ssid.

Like I said, Crazy. I could never get Barnacle or Wifi Tether to work solo, but doing the steps I mentioned above works for my Amaze and without the needing to tweak the APN settings.

Edit: No need for Barnacle. In WiFi Tether, only need to change Device-Profile to "Generic ICS" (For ICS Users) and Thanks to hasoon2000, also enable "Routing Fix" (for t-mobile users and/or others still having issues) under settings to get tethering to work with ICS.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
No use using barnicle when it works without it. I mean, you wouldn't download a screenshot app or a "open status bar" app would you?

I can't believe this thread went 6 pages when this problem was solved 5 months ago and is all over this forum. Smh

[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
I did this to get it to work on ICS

- Now open "Wifi Tether". (if on ICS, Hit the menu > Settings > Change Device-Profile > Generic ICS)

and like usual, since I am on T-Mobile, I checked the Routing Fix and it worked.

I never needed barnacle. Just WiFi Tether.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Lunaillij:
I was just simply stating what works for me. For some reason, I'm unable to fully use Barnacle because my devices doesn't see the ssid. And with Wifi Tether, I can have my devices connect to it, but it doesn't get internet connection. Not sure why, but the post i wrote previously is info on what i do to get it to work on my Amaze. I'm just sharing my experiences on getting wifi tether working on GB and ICS with other people who would interested.

I just wondered how do you clean dust which appears under back cover. It´s pretty annoying and it´s a pity HTC didn´t take care of better isolation. It has for sure something common with the famous "dust under the screen" issue.

How do you recommend to clean the dust out of back cover? Which materials/liquids are safe to use?

[Verizon Droid Charge] bluevolume:
My Charge is giving off a lot of EMI, more than any phone I've ever had. If I get it anywhere near computer speakers, the baby monitor, even my powered subwoofer they all start going nuts. The one that is really driving me nuts is my Plantronics headset at work (wired set thats tied to my work phone) if my Charge is even sitting on my desk I hear it in that headset. So much so that people on the other end are asking me whats going on.

I've already got one replacement from Verizon and this one is doing the exact same thing. Any thoughts on this? I can tell you that I've had that same headset on my phone at work for like 10 years and I've never had a problem like this till now. Even my Fascinate didn't cause this, and they are pretty much the same phone (save the 4G radio).
[Verizon Droid Charge] pissinguoff247:
I've always found cdma phones (like verizons) caused less interference with electronics than gsm phones (like att). The 4g LTE, however, is partially based on gsm. Try turning off the 4g radio and see if the interference stops.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bluevolume:
I've tried that already and it absolutely affects it. I'd go as far as saying the EMI stops altogether when the 4G radio is off. So is this truly a 4G thing and not just with my Charge?
[Verizon Droid Charge] vash1053:
Yep.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
It's not actually putting off anymore EMI, but it's doing it in different frequencies and patterns than CDMA. Have you ever had a GSM phone? They do the exact same thing. As the previous poster mentioned, LTE was developed as an extension to GSM and shares a lot of characteristics with it. It's the difference between CDMA (the multiplexing scheme, not the protocol) and TDMA (the multiplexing scheme that GSM and LTE uses).

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Splifff:
Hello, I'm just trying to gather as much information as I can and be clear about everything before I install a custom ROM. I have already rooted the nexus s.

The ROM I'm interested in is this CyanogenMod 7.

In their installation instructions it says

- Format the system, data & cache partitions of your device.

- Perform a factory reset.

From another guide (AddictiveTips) they just tell us to do the following

- Select wipe factory/data reset.

- Now, wipe cache and dalvick cache.

The xda thread tells us to format system, data, and cache partitions. But the AddictiveTips guide only seem to tell us to format the data & cache partitions.

So my question is, does the system partition automatically get formatted while installing the new ROM, or do you have to manually format it by going to mounts and storage > format system before installing the ROM?

Also, do you guys recommend to format all the required partitions by going to mounts and storage or by selecting wipe factory/data reset and wipe cache from the main menu? Thanks in advance.
