I have never used pda net or any other app to tether since froyo came out with it built in and i have never once been served by att for tethering i also dont go bananas when tethering either but i have unlimited data and i have been tethering over 2 years now and nothing so much as a peep from att
[Motorola Atrix 2] cheetablaze:
awesome! Working nicely for me! Thanks for making this phone kick more ass everyday.
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
Well when I got the text I quickly replied with a phone call. After 30 mins of arguing with them I just give up. I regularly use between 5-7 gb a month n don't want to take the risk of them dropping me to 4gb tethering plan and paying for every gb i go over 4.
[Motorola Atrix 2] tvd0405:
Well, I search around and found 1 thread that mentioned about the conflict of dhcp and other apps. The conflict app that was mentioned is not in my list so I started to uninstall all apps that use wifi, reboot and it fixed my problem. Now I am in the process of reinstall the apps back starting from the safe one first (most popular)
[Motorola Atrix 2] samsungcaptivates:
im glad to hear you got it working
[Motorola Atrix 2] cheetablaze:
I am going to retract my statement, mine does not work. My IPad just sits there and tries to connect to it. Mobile AP can connect the Ipad to my Atrix 2 but it does not direct it out to the internet.
[Motorola Atrix 2] samsungcaptivates:
HMM well i know in the system\apps there is a apk called entitlement.apk i have deleted it in mine ONLY AFTER MAKING A BACKUP OF IT and then the mobile ap would not even turn on it did nothing when i tried to activate it so i have restored it i am gonna try some more things tonight and see
[Motorola Atrix 2] marckusdavis:
Does this include if you "hide usage" with one of PDANet's two new security levels?
[Motorola Atrix 2] tvd0405:
I installed most of my necessary apps, reboot and it is still working :). I still don't know which apps caused the conflict and I should be careful from now on not to install any app if I don't really needed.

You may want to look at my post above to @bimmer. There may be some conflict between your apps and the tether DHCP. I have the same problem of getting the IP (it should start with 192.168.). You should check to see which IP that you iPad gets. If it starts with 169 then DHCP is not working.
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
When I talked to the service manager she specifically stated PDA net and that it would throw the flag, I told her I was streaming Netflix to my TV ans she said AT&T still considered that tethering and if I wouldn't continue to tether they wouldn't change my plan. She along stated that next time there wouldn't be any warning and I would receive a text and a letter stating a change to the tethering plan . All I'm saying is y'all be careful!
[Motorola Atrix 2] samsungcaptivates:
I just connected a iphone 4 to my hotspot and downloaded speedtest app while on my wifi and also ran the speed test and it worked fine had a 192.168 ip adress
[Motorola Atrix 2] lonewolf2008:
I was having the same issues, as far as the DHCP server on the phone not working quite right...

I did however change the line for the entitlement check from disabled to 0 and it seems to be working okay now, as I am sending this from my PC connected via hotspot with the mobile hotspot application, I havent tried other apps yet though.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cheetablaze:
I changed it to 0 also and it works. Thanks!
[Motorola Atrix 2] samsungcaptivates:

My phone is not rooted, I do not have a tethering plan... I have an unlimited plan..

But I was able to tether my Archos tablet using Bluetooth tethering with the Atrix 2, no problems here! Did it for a while with other phones too but AT&T has never contacted me about it - I don't use it a lot - just when I'm not around wifi!
[Motorola Atrix 2] samsungcaptivates:

My mistake. Fount it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] bimmerd00d:
Still can't get any DHCP to my clients :( from the phone.
[Motorola Atrix 2] big ach:
Yeah its a very convenient thing to do if you don't want to root your phone and don't want to pay for a tethering plan (or lose your unlimited plan).

I was told on the motorola support forum by a member that bluetooth will not allow very high speeds for tethering, but I have not encountered any problems - seems plenty fast, video streaming works fine too! I imagine if I had more devices connected via bluetooth, it would cause it to slow down some!
[Motorola Atrix 2] wdwms:
So i don't understand the concern with the PDAnet application. If they report usage, then don't use it correct? I've rooted my phone and made the change to turn on the hotspot, but just tested using the built-in hotspot app.

So if i'm reading correctly, both the built-in app and PDAnet could send a red flag to AT&T correct?
[Motorola Atrix 2] UNhooked:
I switched to “0” instead of disabled and it worked fine

btw mine was at line 148
[Motorola Atrix 2] cowhow:
I am unable to obtain a dhcp address from the A2. I disabled entitlement with a 0 rather than "disabled". If I assign. a static address I am golden. But no dhcp.
[Motorola Atrix 2] frycook15:
I had to restart my phone and started working fine for me
[Motorola Atrix 2] cowhow:
Yeah, I've restarted mine numerous times. Oddest thing, it just refuses to issue addresses. I've changed addressing schemes from one thing to another. No joy. I installed Wireless Tether and that worked fine. Which is great, but I'd just like to be able to have a hotspot without an additional app.

The phone is new so there's nothing quirky running on it to conflict with the hotspot. Beats me.
[Motorola Atrix 2] bimmerd00d:
Still can't get mine to issue an ip address no matter what. I've exchanged for various reasons, and only #2 out of 4 has had the ability to issue IP addresses. No idea why one would work and no others. I didn't do anything different.

EDIT: I GOT IT!!!!!

* Get the 3.1 beta-7 Wireless Tether app from http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

* Device Selection, choose Droid Bionic

* I changed the default network to 172.20.21.0/24 (not sure if required, it's just a habit of mine)

Access Control works, WPA2 works (albeit cuts the data speed by half at my house), changin SSID works. it works as infrastructure now, not only ad-hoc! Posted while tethered!
[Motorola Atrix 2] unsivil_audio:
I can't for the life of me get this to work on my phone. It connects fine and receives a dhcp address, but no internet. It also causes my phone to freak out, google keeps asking me for a captcha password.

I do have a theory on it, when I got this phone I used the sim card out of my 3g phone. However, I had to manually enter the APN details (none of the locked presets showing would connect) from my other phone before it would connect to the mobile network? Somebody should post their APN settings to compare mine with and see if maybe something is different.
[Motorola Atrix 2] bimmerd00d:
the APN setting selected on mine is just "phone" no user/pass. That's what the newer "4g" devices seem to be using. Mine does have the wap.cingular one, but it's not selected, i think it's more for MMS.
[Motorola Atrix 2] unsivil_audio:
APN List, my user created one is at the top.

Settings from my user created APN

Are these settings any different from anybody elses?
[Motorola Atrix 2] cowhow:
Don't ask me what I did or didn't do, but mobile hotspot is now working as expected. I guess I'd call it Elfin' Magic. But, the hotspot is passing out DHCP addresses and internet speed on hosted devices is quite acceptable. I didn't change APNs or make other mods to the phone other than rooting and disabling entitlement. It just started working and that drives me crazy. I want to know what was broke and what repaired it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] tylercarter:
Im gonna give these a try. only thing i see missing is the password but im not sure if its needed really.

I had to do the same thing, but I left the APN Type as "not set". I haven't tried the wifi hotspot yet, but I have no issues w/GPS, etc. (on my Nexus One I had to put in the default, supl, mms).
[Motorola Atrix 2] Wishkah420:
Ok so I have been trying for 2 days to get my friends Atrix tethered to his laptop. I tried the native tethering app, garden open wifi, and the wifi tether app. Win 7 sees the device but can't obtain an IP from it. Anyone know how to get this to work? Its stock and rooted. Please help! Thanks!

Hello :)

Quick question:

Does it matter what ROM you're running? I'm working with a rooted Motorola Atrix 2 running the newest version of Gingerbread 2.3.6 (OTA) from AT&T.

Will that affect success? I don't want to mess anything up.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Stephenxda:
Yes that will work. It may not be on the same line but look for entitlement check
[Motorola Atrix 2] jaorocks1:
I'm running SC v6 and i cant seem to find "Settings" is it within another folder?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Strahlenkanone:
Maybe this is a solution for those who have successfully enabled the hotspot function but don't get an internet connection over this hotspot. I use an unlocked at&t Atrix 2 in German o2 network. I rooted the phone and edited the "entitlement check" field. But as other have reported here, no internet connections was possible over this hotspot.

But then I changed my APN type from "default" to "default,dun" and from that on, it connects perfectly to the internet.

Give it a try.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cokester:
I gave it a try, because I experience the same problem that you had (successfully enabled the hotspot function but can't get an internet connection), but -- when I try to type default,dun, I get error/warning "You are not allowed to add a ned DUN APN. DUN APN is only provisioned by carrier."

In other words -- I still have hotspot going, but can't get internet connection through it :(

[Motorola Atrix 2] Alperon:
I'm running SCV7 on my Atrix 2 on a plan with Straight Talk.

I tried changing the APN and adding dun, but wasn't allowed to, as someone said earlier.

I then tried going into the code of the APNs and adding dun, but once I altered the APN I could no longer enable it, it was locked out.

I do have my hotspot working though, but it's intermittent.

What I do is turn on my hotspot and go into my APN settings, I switch to a different APN and then back to my original.

For some reason this gets hotspot working for me.

BTW - if you use Straight Talk I recommend leaving the proxy setting blank, I had much better results with the data connection this way.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Strahlenkanone:
Ok, after the OTA Update to ICS I also could not add dun to the apn type. Not allowed, what a ****. But then I looked into the settings storage database were we changed the Entitlement check. Search for the field "dun_apn_changeable" and change the value from 0 to 1 and save it. That's it, now you can add ,dun to your apn type and internet connection works fine over the hotspot.

Hi. I sent my rooted custom aospCMod Optimus V to my cousin as he wanted to take over my account. He says he's having problems changing the phone number to his area code. Will the phone have to be put back to stock just to change the number? Cheers. Ed
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bigsupersquid:
stock, or stock-based, like harmonia.

have him make a nandroid backup before flashing the froyo-based rom.

after froyo is installed, the ## menus in the dialer will work to activate, and so will the activate.apk

once the phone is activated and working with the new number, restore the nandroid if he wants to keep using aospCmod.

that rom is a little old... but it did work pretty well for me back before blarf came up with the IHO cm7 variant.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] edderspcs:
Thanks. Will have him do that and post how it goes. I also forgot to mention I changed the PRL. Will that be a problem too.? Thanks. Ed

[Optimus One, P500, V General] edderspcs:
Still working on this. I am trying to make sure he doesn't have to mail this back to me. Tried reflashing stock ROM but the same "service not available". Shouldn't it launch a menu? The phone was working fine when he got it. This just started when he tried to change the number.

Should he unroot it?

Should he try Harmonia? Thanks.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] digical1982:
Did he change the number before going back to stock? If he did they may have cancelled the service. That's the only way to get a new number as far as I know.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bigsupersquid:
unrooting or Harmonia won't help.

it's possible data service is down in his area, it won't provision without a data connection. wifi probably won't work for that. vm is well known for data problems.

if his phone is programmed right with the new number, and vm set up his account on the phone, then his voice and sms service should work regardless of the data being available.

making a call to someone is a good test. *vm isn't, that works whether activated or not.

if voice is working, the phone is programmed, but it'll have to stay on stock ROM until it gets a data connection to provision 3g (it'll only show 1x at best until activate is run successfully.)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] edderspcs:
It is fixed.

He had it all back to stock and still nothing. Get getting "service unavailable" when trying to activate. Virgin actually helped him out. Here is what they sent and it got him up and running,,,,

excellent.

that's why it had to be on a stock or stock-based froyo rom like harmonia.

the gingerbread roms don't have the ## menus in the dialer, so no way to manually change the numbers. when you call vm to activate, they always have you enter the ##virgin# in the dialer and change those two settings and reboot.

"The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

I only have the option to Force Close.

[LG Revolution] jeff_roey:
Okay, so here I am all proud (and a little surprised) that I made the jump from a WM device to the REVO . . . excited about the opportunity to take advantage of the open source android architecture, and skim off some of the great work being done by apparently some of the leading chefs (is that a WM term?).

But now that I'm here, I'm thoroughly confused by it all and a little gun shy because I'm clearly a generation behind what's going on.

My situation is I have a stock REVO with ZV7 - never rooted . . . a "virgin-bread". I'm interested in rooting it and playing around a bit. I found my way through spl unlockers and custom ROMs okay on my WM device but there's just too much new stuff going on here:

WTF is a nandroid, a superuser, an ASOP? What's in a Revotoolkit? Do I back up my factory ROM before or after I root? How and why do I install recovery? What does clockworkmod do? Okay, you get the point?

So here's my question: Where TF is the dummy's guide to rooting this device? I know there's a lot of "download this, click on this .bat" stuff out there but I'm looking for the super-one-click that explains it all . . . slowly. Is that out there somewhere?

I know you kids are in the proverbial candy store this week with GB just out and all so I'll say thanks in advance to any of you who could help me do a little catching up. :o

There is a one click root process that installs super user and such, and I plan on working on it tonight to try to get it to install clockwork recovery at the same time and make it so it sticks. Of you want to Getty on irc tonight there are several guys on there that can help you out.
