I went ahead and enabled data and tethering for my Ting sim.

Ting's FAQs suggest that tethering cannot be used with LTE data, but I had no problem. Ting with LTE connection showed the same speed on the R1 HD and the wifi connected device, at the time, about 20 Mbps up and down.

This worked. The hotspot connected to devices without problems. Data connection was HSPA+.

I tried above freedompop hotspot setting but on my laptop it says no internet when connected to hotspot network. My phone is not yet rooted does phone need to be rooted for it to work?
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] limpet:
The phone does not need to be rooted.

Is Data roaming enabled?

Is the modified APN selected?

Are both "default" and "dun" checked under APN type in that APN?

Until "dun" was checked, my sim behaved the same way, connected but no internet.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] shah_vm:
yes data roaming is enabled

yes modified apn is selected

yes dun and default is selected

I am on free basic plan from freedom pop. I have downgraded all the other services. I only have 200mb data plan on my sim. could that be the reason for hotspot not working? are you on free basic plan?

no idea why it is still not working?
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] limpet:
All my fp sims are downgraded to free 200mb plan with no services. I have two types of sim, data only and voice/data. The voice/data sim gets a number assigned before shipment.

The one in my R1 HD is voice/data, but I am not using fp voip phone and have run the fp messaging app only to check activation; it's not running now.

I'll swap to a data only sim this evening and see if the hotspot continues to work.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] shah_vm:
I have fp messaging app installed. However, I tried uninstalling the app hotspot still won't work.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] limpet:
Swapped in a data only sim, hotspot still works fine.

I assume the icon on top bar has an R to indicate it's registered and same icon in the dropdown menu has the R and is labelled FreedomPop.

Also, I assume the sim is providing data locally. Speedtest should show a ping of about 300ms.

Running out of ideas...Settings/More/Cellular networks shows Preferred network type 3G/4G. When I click on Network operators, it searches for about a minute and then shows FreedomPop 3G twice...I'm guessing one of those is ATT and the other is T-Mobile. Haven't noticed any difference if I select one or the other.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] shah_vm:
everything that you mentioned is set accordingly yet hotspot is not working for me.

[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] ctzw:
mine doesn't work either

Using freedompop sim on sim2 with data choosing sim2. APN/Data Roam enabled. Hotspot can be connected, but no internet going through. I might think this is a bug of the stock ROM.

Any other WIFI tether app recommended?
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] limpet:
The fix described here, adding dun to the APN type, has worked for me with several fp sims, both the data only and talk/data variety:

https://forums.freedompop.com/discussion/17067/blu-r1-hd-hotspot-connection-issue-fixed

Apparently it worked for "Blu R1 HD User" as well. Expect we all have the stock rom.

My guess is that the problem is differences with the account setup at freedompop. They may be trying to disable it so they can charge for the service but have not made changes to all accounts.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] ctzw:
The "dun" trick was tested NOT to work on my R1 HD. Same, connected, but no internet. I am wondering is this a BLU issue or FP issue. In other words,

1) has anyone successfully tethered using other carrier's sim cards in BLU while not with FP? Then that's a FP issue..

2) has anyone successfully tethered FP's sim card on other GSM unlocked phones, while not in BLU? Then that's a BLU issue..

I am not a GSM player (I play with CDMA phones a lot), can someone do above experiments and show your results? Thanks.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] emc2cube:
Yes. It's working perfectly on my current plan (T-mobile $30 UL Data & Int Text (5GB at 4G) plan)

Please read OP. Both ATT and Ting tether from the R1HD.

No problem tethering from a BLU Studio 5.0 LTE (Android 4.3) with fp sim.

HTC M8 (Android 6.0) has the "connects but no internet" problem with fp sim.

My phone is set up as shown here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=67904767&postcount=1

I can tether from either data source. HSPA+ speeds from fp sim, LTE speeds from Ting (T-mobile).

This is probably relevant:

Enable Free Wi-Fi Tethering On Your HTC One (M8)

http://www.cultofandroid.com/61639/enable-free-wi-fi-tethering-htc-one-m8/

It would be great if someone with a rooted R1HD could find something like this:

<app name=”Tethering_provision”>

<item type=”integer”

name=”TetheringGuard_rule”>1</item>

I believe that Android 4 phones may not give carriers the ability to identify(and block)

tethered traffic. An obsolete GSM phone with a fp sim might make a cheap hotspot.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] ctzw:
I still cannot make the hotspot to work. i am using two FP sims now. data is enabled on sim 1. see the picture.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] limpet:
My hotspot is set up with WPA2 PSK security. I've never tried anything else.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] limpet:
That's not it. Hotspot still works without security.

But I think I've figured it out.

In brief, I believe that adding dun to the APN type works only if you are connected to T-Mobile.

Freedompop sims can use either T-Mobile or ATT HSPA+ data. If you connect to T-Mobile, tethering works, if ATT it doesn't. I am in a location that gets both, but T-Mobile is stronger and I think it normally gets selected. When I click on Network operators, it searches for about a minute and then displays this:

View attachment 3827769

I think the two "FreedomPop 4G" items are ATT and T-mobile, When I click on either one, it says "Registering on Freedompop 4G". These don't seem to appear in the same order each time, but when I choose at random, about half the time I get no internet when I reconnect the wifi device. When I tell it to "choose automatically" I always have internet, I think because it chooses the stronger T-mobile signal.

Googling: dun apn tether, shows that this was a solution to a T-mobile broken tethering problem.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] limpet:
There must be a way to force the device to connect to a particular network.

Does anyone know how?
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] limpet:
I did some searching for APN settings for ATT back when HSPA+ was all the rage.

Came up with this for APN Type: default,supl,dun,hipri

View attachment 3827819

I still can't tell whether I'm connected to ATT or T-Mobile (there must be a way, but I don't know it).

But I've been trying manual selection as before, which often failed to tether internet. Now it always seems to work.

Would someone who has been unable to tether with a Freedompop sim please try this APN setting.

Sometimes I see "Connected, no internet" but after about 20 seconds it changes to just "Connected". Other times it connects almost immediately. I think one behavior is ATT the other T-mobile.

Hello,

I'm a newcomer in this forum but I have already successfully unlocked bootloader and flash custom rom onto my OnePlus One.

Now I'm doing this for my friends Xperia Z as well but i'm stuck in recovery mode now.

This is what I've done so far:

- unlock bootloader

- flash twrp image file via fastboot

- after command "fastboot reboot" -> it boots into twrp recovery

- asks me if its okay to modificate system partition, i swipe okay

- want to reboot into system -> asks me if i want to flash supersu for root access, i swipe okay

- boots into twrp recovery -> want to reboot into system but i boot into twrp anyway

Edit: when power down the phone and restart -> boots into twrp recovery

Now I'm stuck in recovery mode. Please help me

I tried that, but it failed to validate. I ended up doing that with version 5.3.1. This of course means I can't root it now and do what I did before to it, but at least it works I guess.

[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] ColtonDRG:
This second post will be reserved for any notes I want to make about specific modules. If anyone discovers anything useful for this post, please let me know and I'll add it.

In GravityBox, enable "Force AOSP" in the About menu to fix a problem with several of the Statusbar Tweaks.

Some of Android N-ify's options don't work. Specifically, the Status bar header options cause the quick settings and notification panel header to become improperly layered, making it unusable. If anyone knows how to go about fixing this, please let me know. Disabling the options completely fixes it, but you lose the functionality. You will also want to disable all options in Notifications section to avoid the notifications panel looking awkward.

Having the GravityBox Miscellaneous option "Search bar visibility" set to "Hide and remove space" causes glitchy graphics when opening the recent apps/task manager. To correct this, set it to either "Default" or "Hide and keep space".

The following problems are the same issue manifesting in different ways.

Double tapping the overview key while only one app is opened and Android N-ify's "Quick switch" is on causes SystemUI to crash.

Tapping the overview key while the overview is already opened, only one app is opened, and Android N-ify "Recents button click behavior" is set to "Return to previous app" causes SystemUI to crash.

Tapping the overview key while the overview is already opened and Android N-ify's "Recents button click behavior" is set to "Cycle through apps" causes SystemUI to crash.

Side note, I hate the default clear all button (in the recent apps/task manager). It's ugly, takes up too much space, and is poorly positioned. If anyone knows of an Xposed module that can get rid of it completely (I can use a different one from either GravityBox or the best recent apps/task manager enhancer ever, Recently), or knows how to go about making such a module, please let me know. I would be grateful forever.

Removing old systemless Xposed and re-installing official version.

Today, an update to the Xposed Installer was released. It should offer to update itelf when you open it. Please update the Xposed installer before uninstalling the old systemless Xposed package and installing the new one.

This will serve as the guide for removing systemless Xposed and installing the official Xposed package. If you would like to continue using systemless Xposed, you will have to get the Magisk framework, which I have a guide coming soon for, so please sit tight. It does require unrooting/restoring your phone, so don't get too attatched.

Make sure Xposed Installer is up to date. You need the 05/08/16 version or newer.

Switch to the systemless tab of Xposed installer, then click the Uninstall button. Accept the warnings, allow root access if required. Your phone will reboot to recovery, remove Xposed, and reboot back to Android. Xposed will be gone.

Reopen the Xposed Installer, switch to the official tab, verify that the selected framework is xposed-(version)-sdk23-arm (NOT any other version) and click Install/Update. Accept the warnings, allow root access if required. Your phone will reboot to recovery, then back to Android. It will rebuild the cache for all apps, so this first boot will take a long time.

You should be good to go. :)
