[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobafuzz:
You need agent switcher extension.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pathtologos:
OK I downloaded an extension and switched user agent to chrome desktop. Is that it? The mod should work now?

The actual tethering works now. I've never checked the T-Mobile my account app.

Eh chrome desktop is default, switch to nexus 7, iPad, or android. If you leave it on chrome desktop you didn't change anything.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pathtologos:
So by switching it to one of the ones you mentioned, if I tether with my laptop or my smart TV, t-mo won't be able to tell im tethering?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobafuzz:
Possibly, I don't have official tether on my account. The only way I can get my laptop to work is doing that or else I get the upsell page. I don't know if you can change user agent on a smart TV, I have a dumb TV lol.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BamAlmighty:
How do you get to that menu?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1gh7m4r3:
Menu / settings / more (under wireless and networks) / mobile networks / access point names. Then click on the APN you want to modify, and don't forget to save changes from the menu (another words don't use the back arrow to exit out)

Are you guys using Straight Talk? Is anyone on here using the T-mobile SIM provided by Straight Talk? When I use these APN settings my phone connects to towers (I get a signle and a 'H' for HSPA+), prompts me to sign-in to my network, but after sign-in I don't have internet connectivity and the browser continually redirects me to androidapi.t-mobile.com/apppack/mvno.html - which, consequently never loads a page. When I use the old APN settings for Straight Talk:

Name: Straight Talk

APN: wap.tracfone

Proxy: 216.155.165.40

Port: 8080

Username/Password/Server: Not Set

MMSC: h77p://mms.tracfone.com (can't post URLs, '7' used in place of 't')

MMS proxy: 216.155.165.40

MNC: 260

I have internet access but get the same redirect via any device I tether to my Nexus 5. Anyone else experiencing this?

Tethering on Tmobile works just fine for me with the unlimited prepaid. 4.3+ has extra tethering detecting cooked into it because on my nexus 4 I could tether no problem before tmo gave it out, I had to revert back to 4.2.2
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pendoric:
HELP PLEASE!

My phone now just locks up at the moving circles. Never gets past it. Here is what I have done to date.

1) Installed CF-Auto-Root and it works no problem, unlocked and rooted with no problems.

2) Copied settings.db to download folder

3) Edited with SQLite Editor

4) Set IP to IPV4 in APN

5) Renamed original file settings.db.keep

6) Copied new file to original location

I suspect it is having the settings.db and settings.db.keep in the folder causing problems. How can I fix this? Is there a way to flash back to a complete clean system and start over? Is there a way to edit the contents of the filesystem without being able to boot?

EDIT: I Tried this https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images but no luck still stuck on the 4 moving balls... When that did not help I even tried fastboot erase system -w to try and insure my bad file was deleted. Still no go.

Any ideas anyone?

Many Thanks

Pen.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NlBO:
It sounds like your phone is in a bootloop. Your only option are methods usable via fastboot. I would reccomend using the nexus 5 dead or alive kit from atgadmin, here is the link.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2513937
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pendoric:
I hate to reply to my own thread but I worked it out. The answer was.

1) fastboot erase system -w

2) Install new stock images by following instructions at:

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

3) Unit will still hang need to delete data and cache. Enter recovery mode Hold Vol Down + Power, Then Vol Up, Then Power, Now Select Erase Data and Factory Reset. Select Yes from the middle of the list

4) Reboot takes a while (almost thought it would not work) but up she came. :good:

Hope this is helpful to others. Now back to getting teathering to work. Sigh!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pkg5p:
So does that mean for Nexus 5 owners using Straight Talk and the T-Mobile SIM (provided by Straight Talk) there are no workarounds for tethering? I've been looking all over the internet to see what else causes a redirect to the androidapi.t-mobile.com/apppack/mvno.html page but the only forum I could find referencing this issue was for an old Samsung Focus and users were being redirected to the site from their phone's browser, not from a browser on a device tethered to the phone. Right now I have the APN settings for the HSPA+ network but I'm going to see if I can get Straight Talk to give me the settings so I can access T-mobile's LTE network (if Straight Talk even has access to it) and see if that works. If not, I'll root and look at third party software but I think this has got to be one of t-mobile's proxy servers serving up this page ONLY when I'm tethered. Any other suggestions?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slickromeo:
I asked the same question on

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2518117

and someone replied to me saying that the new Nexus5 has something built-into AOSP apn settings which cannot be edited unless you root, this basically notifies carriers (not only tmobile, anyone) if you are tethering or not.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkuperman:
FYI, this probably happened because you need to chown the settings.db file to system system after editing. I didn't do this and got stuck in bootloop last night and had to flash the stock image. After reinstall, I edited the system.db file (using sqlite3 on a mac) copied it back to my N5 and chowned it (using Ghost Commander and Busybox) and this time it worked fine. I also kept the renamed settings.db file in the original directory, so I'm pretty sure it's not the settings.db.keep file that's causing you problems.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsharper:
I actually kinda like the idea of it using a separate DUN session for tethering. Has anyone explored the idea of leaving the tether_dun_required setting alone but instead changing the APN used for tethering on TMOUS from pcweb.t-mobile.com to fast.t-mobile.com? As a bonus, you could even leave the phone's APN config at the default IPV6-only setting.

(Plus, I'm unrooted and after spending 5 days setting the phone up how I want it, I'm hesitant to wipe it to root it... plus, I don't want to put at risk the ability to get OTA updates.. is there ANY hope that the above-mentioned tethering-APN setting can be changed without rooting?)

I have performed BigStorage and would like to know the reg hack to change the location for ringtones from \windows\rings to \Storage\Rings. I have tried but failed and searching this site has proved fruitless. I sure it can be done and have seen one forum which mentioned doing but not how!!!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] shams99:
here you are DMan

Hkey_current_user\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring

change the Directory from \windows\Rings to \Storage\Rings
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] DMan:
Thanks Shams99 but that is the one I thought it was when looking so have changed that but when I then try to add a music file by "right click" and select "set as ring tone" it copies this file to the default \windows\rings. Am I being stupid? please tell me I am so there is a simple answer :lol: but include instructions :wink:

I also set this and soft reset just incase!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] shermian:
Can't move rings to storage

I'm having trouble pointing to \Storage Card\Rings as well. I have windows mobile 5.0 k-jam. I modified the registry setting for

HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring and changed the directory from \Windows to \Storage Card. I've confirmed that a Rings folder exists in \Storage Card. When I go in to phone options and try to change the ring tone, it's still looking in to \Windows\Rings for ring tones and not \Storage Card\Rings.

Does anyone know what could be the problem here?

Thanks!

Yes i did a soft reset. I've also verified after the reset the settings in the registry. The changes indeed are there. However, the phone application doesn't show the contents of \Storage Card\Rings\. Instead it still shows the contents of \Windows\Rings\.

Well, after trying this tweak for almost a week now....I have discovered something VERY interesting....I have a Dopod 818Pro (HTC Prophet) running WM5. I tried like hell to get this tweak to work for almost a straight week now and it just WOULD NOT work. Well, quite by accident I realized that I had copies of my ringtones on the SD card to begin with and lo' and behold, it works on it's own!!!! I'm not sure if this is something to do with WM5 or the way Dopod conditioned the OS for their use, but it does work all on its own WITHOUT doing a reg tweak. I now have all my ringtones stored on the SD Card (not in a folder) and several contacts have their own ringtone assigned and each and every time I get a call from one of those contacts (whether the phone is on or not), the phone rings with that contacts ringtone!!!! VERY Cool!!!

BTW my registry string looks like this:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Sound Categories\Ring\Directory\Windows\

Just thought I would share!!

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] psych0t1c:
It is said to be very important to add the trailing "\" to the registry value. So change the value to "\Storage Card\Rings\" or whatever it is you want. But just as said before, it is a bad idea to store Ringtones on Storage Card. Just donate a few kbytes of your BigStorage and you will be fine. You can also convert your mp3 to wma which takes even less space and the audio quality is almost the same (at least on the small speaker we are talking about). If you need Hi-Fidelity ringing from your phone, pay the London Symphonic orchestra to follow oyu arond :)

After doing the reg tweak, when u ppl do the "set as ringtone" thing, it displays something like: copied ringtone to \windows\rings. Right....

Well its a bug in the program....the program actually copies it to the location specified in the registry, but displays a default msg which must have been preset by the programmer...must say bad programming...

but anyway useful program....

try it out....apply the reg tweak....the set a file as ringtone...and go to the directory u entered in the registry...and presto...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] DMan:
faysalshoaib you indeed are right, as you say dont worry about the message, this is red herring. I was doing the classic mistake of believing the message, doh.... it work as you say. Thanks for replies and effort. :D
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] capkapak:
Yup this works for me too. Simply put the ringtone into the directory \Storage\ and viola, you can select the ringtone from the pulldown menu of ringtones within the "Sounds and Notifications" application.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] jkossowsky:
Ringtones on the Storage Card without any tweaks

in WM5, if you put your MID or MP3 files on the root of the storage card or in if you create a folder on your storage card called My Documents and put the MID and MP3 files there, then they will automatically be found by the OS as available ringtones. This worked in pre 2.x and post 2.x builds.

No Reg Tweaking necessary.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] hdubli:
There is a simple solution

1) One can use Photo Contacts so that one can store Rings on one's SD card any folder.

2) One can keep the mp3 and mid files open on SD card(Not in any folder) these are well recognised in the Ringtone selection box of the phone settings.

Generally an "Advanced Replacement" Implies that they either cross ship, you a new one as soon as yours is in the mail, or they send you the box to ship the old one back when they send the new one out.
