[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
I want to outline a brief dissertation explaining the APN Type entry in APN settings and it's function. There's been much confusion on this recently so I feel the need to elaborate on this subject.

Traditionally, a SIM card employs GPRS settings to access the internet. Each particular mobile provider has an established set of Access Point Name (APN) parameters which must be configured for internet access, multimedia messaging (MMS), carrier configuration updates, etc. Among the various APN parameters is APN Type, which defines the precise type of data connection to be established via the respective network. Various values are assigned to the APN Type, each one defining a specific data connection gateway. Some of the APN Type values are as follows:​

MMS -- this APN Type values represents a service gateway for multimedia messaging (MMS) data conectivity. For MMS, there are other parameters which must be configured as well, such as Proxy, Port, MMSC, etc.​

SUPL - this is s common value meaning Secure User Plane Location, which sets up a secure connection on tne network's location server. With more recent Android versions, the Default APN Type value incorporates this very function.​

Default -- as implied by the name, this APN Type is utilized for all data connections (unless anothet APN type is not explicitly set up. (In HLR, subscribers may employ multiple APNs, with one being designated for the default value.)​

DUN -- this APN Type is the focal point of this post. It stands for Dial-Up Networking data connections, and was once used to define and enable native hotspot and tethering functionality on a particular network. (This value was also applicable to the build.prop and default.prop settings on some Android versions for a global configuration on enabling data sharing on a native basis.) This is an outdated APN Type which was deprecated back with API Level 29. Even with older Android versions that support DUN, most networks have now established server-sided network restrictions that reject user initiated dun entries by default. This value no longer has any affect on the APN Type and is considered obsolete on the Android OS.​

FOTA. -- this value is an acronym for Firmware Over The Air and configures a data connection for firmware updates via the manufacturer's software OTA channel. Like most APN Type designations used today, a FOTA gateway can be established by using the Default value and doesn't need to be specified by entering FOTA.​

HIPRI -- much like DUN, this value is also outdated abd deprecated, and thus no longer used as an APN Type. Many websites, blogs, anc forums falsely state that HIPRI must be utikized in order for APN settings to be correct. To the contrary, HIPRI is simply not used with mainstream MVNOs, subsidiary networks, or primary providers in this day and age.​

There are other APN Types as well, which are used to establish specific data connections via the respective mobile network. I merely wanted to outline some of the more common APN Type values but, specifically, the dun value and its modern day irrelevance to APN settings.​
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
In the interests of keeping my thread relevant and tidy, I'm respectfully asking that topics such as obsolete Android settings not be discussed. This subject matter simply causes confusion and spreads misinformation, and will be treated as trolling.
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
I covered this topic on Nov 24th.
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
I'm going to ask you once nicely. Stop trolling the thread. End of discussion on the obsolete APN setting. I do understand what you're posting is known as trolling. Take it elsewhere
[Android General] onepunch11:
I have been trying for days and it connects but with no internet I'm using qlink with a blu G90 pro version 10 android is there any other way around this I have literally tried everything. F*@K
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
You're saying that other devices can connect to your hotspot, but with no internet? What are you using for your hotspot? PDANet+, native hotspot?
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
This thread has truly been peaceful since the lying "dun" trolls have at last gone silent.
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
QLink subscribers -- it is being reported that Android's native Hotspot & Tethering feature is once again working nationwide on QLink's 4G-LTE/5G network. I am asking members to report their finding on this by leaving a comment.
[Android General] charlesvane420:
Works fine for me.. I'm also getting 52mb down without a vpn...
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
That's great. Sounds like fully unrestricted bandwidth. What type of mobile device are you using?
[Android General] charlesvane420:
A spare pixel xl I had laying around... I will have to get back to you on data caps.. That's on 4g and native hotspot with factory settings.. Btw I have heard new accounts may take awhile to be flagged for the data throttle so I will have to see how that pans out..
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Generally speaking, QLink will throttle 4G-LTE data speeds to around 128 Kbps -- on their "Always On/Unlimited" monthly plans -- once you exceed 29.5 GB in a 30-day billing cycle period. Unfortunately, there is no known exploit to circumvent this restriction. I do know that several complaints have been filed with the FCC by subscribers to whom QLink actually disabled 4G-LTE data connectivity once the 29.5 GB data cap had been exceeded. Such a policy surely runs afoul of QLink's "Always On/Unlimited" marketing slogan, so hopefully the FCC complaints have forced QLink to desist in this regard. Because the Lifeline and ACP programs have become a highly competitive market amongst the numerous participating mobile providers, QLink may have simply lifted their native hotspot restrictions in an effort to retain subscribers. I'm only assuming though.

But yes, please keep me posted on your observations regarding the data cap, native hotspot functionality and bandwidth throttling. Hopefully you can continue to enjoy unrestricted data speeds and native hotspot.
[Android General] nipheon:
Working fine for me, however it IS throttled on the Hot Pepper Seranno. I cannot effectively find a way to bypass this with or without a vpn and pdanet+ is throttled too no matter which settings I use but it is great to know this is now working. Is the sudden ability to hotspot related to the raid on the qlink facility a few months ago near me, do you think? Would be funny if it was.
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
This is only an assumption, but I believe that the reemergence of native hotspot functionality on QLink Wireless is based on the highly competitive Lifeline mobile service market. Lifeline providers offer bonuses, incentives, free devices, etc., to attract new eligible subscribers and to encourage subscribers to transfer over from other providers. Many Lifeline provides offer at least some type of data allotment for native hotspot. QLink never has, and still doesn't officially. Since QLink knows it can never fully stop data sharing by way of WiFi Direct hotspot services, they may have simply lifted the restrictions on native hotspot as an effort to gain subscribers. (T-Mobile does not permit MVNO providers like QLink to offer unrestricted native hotspot data plans.)
[Android General] GIutton:
A simple way to enable hotspot from Q-Link on a Windows PC is to change your ttl from the default 128 to 65 in powershell using

netsh int ipv4 set glob defaultcurhoplimit=65

netsh int ipv6 set glob defaultcurhoplimit=65

Thats it, free unlimited hotspot on your windows.
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
With QLink, regardless of what method you use to set up a hotspot, it's always going to be unlimited.
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
@GIutton thanks for sharing on your Windows mod.
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
I can confirm that VPN continues to bypass bandwidth throttling on QLink where I live.

Yes, there are many QLink subscribers who are patently unsatisfied with the quality and terms of service provided by QLink. FCC complaints against QLink are now at an all time high as well.
[Android General] VenomousSteam81:
Ok so I'm probably late to the party, but the SecureTether wifi app works best for me. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ering.mobile.hotspot.secure.wifi.securetether

And whenever the trial expires, just clear the SecureTether Wifi app data. Works for me, every time.
[Android General] VenomousSteam81:
In March 2023, that sadly isn't the case for me. Not sure why though
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
If native hotspot isn't working, you should still be able to set up hotspot and tethering by using the apps in this guide.
[Android General] VenomousSteam81:
Yes. I've been doing that but I really wish hotspot would work without any issues.
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
I just confirmed mine is still working. I'm using a QLink SIM in a Nokia 3v and native hotspot & tethering are working without any problem. But, depending on QLink's motives, it's probably just a matter of time until all subscribers experience disabled native hotspot once again.
[Android General] VenomousSteam81:
Yeah. I also just thought it could be based on location. Kind of localist if you ask me (haha pun, unless that isn't the factor here) but oh well
[Android General] froku:
virustotal.com reports a trojan
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
There is no malicious code within the programs. However, if you're not comfortable with using the programs, you can download them from a source of your choice. The activation key will give a false positive for malware. I have used both of these apps/services for a couple of years and never had any issues with malicious code. But again, the ultimate choice to install and use them is up to you.

In addition, if your phone gets infected by a trojan virus, you will at least go down in history as the very first Android device to become infected by such a virus. Since the birth of Android in 2008, up until the present date, there has never been a single confirmed case of an Android device becoming infected by a traditional virus. Most developers and coders agree that it is possible only in theory. Of course, I'm referring to the default norm - device not rooted, bootloader locked, running unmodified stock firmware. Rooted devices can certainly become infected if a user, for instance, grants superuser permission to a malicious app. Otherwise, SELinux and application sandboxing prevent a traditional virus from infiltrating the system directory. On Android, malware can only exist on allocated user storage space. It cannot affect R/O partitions such as /system, /boot or /vendor.
[Android General] jerrys23:
Qlink very fast on the 1st of the month 400 down and 100 up, then 5g goes to 2 down and 1 up.. I called and they say we don't guarantee speed.. Using a VPN does not do anything for the throttling.. Iowa here..
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
The VPN won't do much for the data throttling limitations when you exceed 30GB in a billing period, but it has been effective in my region (Eastern Tennessee) for QLink's bandwidth throttling restrictions, i.e., QLink's practice of capping the maximum 4G-LTE download speed to 2Mbps. Using a VPN bypasses this speed cap and allows around 50Mbps down and around 22Mbps up. But again, that's my experience; my results may not be the same for other subscribers in other US regions. My native hotspot & tethering feature continues to function with QLink as well. Is the native function working on your end as well? Are you running 4G-LTE or 5G? Thanks for your feedback by the way.
[Android General] jerrys23:
Yes hotspot works but the speeds are terrible.. I only used 2.5 gb and was throttled to very slow speeds.. I tried 3 different vpns.. I called and they said I am not throttled well yes I am.. Tried 2 different phones same out come..
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Yeah, the bandwidth throttle mechanism appears to differ throughout various US regions. A VPN can bypass this throttle in some regions, but not in others. For the sake of experimenting, have you tried the Opera Browser for Android with free inbuilt VPN? Give that a try. Download and install the Opera Browser, enable the free VPN in app settings, and then visit fast.com to check your download speed. Keep in mind that the free VPN does not reroute internet traffic device wide, but only the traffic used by Opera Browser.
[Android General] GIutton:
I have a similar experience with qlink. Its very fast on the first of the month but after using about 2-3gb of data I get throttled to about 2mbps here in Washington state.
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
I have noticed similar behavior during this particular billing cycle. On the 1st of the month, when the plan data is refilled, 4G-LTE downlink speeds will often exceed 50 Mbps. But, after using only a few GB of data (perhaps 2 - 3 as you have noted) the bandwidth is throttled to 2 Mbps max. Moreover, for the first time since starting this thread, connecting to a VPN server will no longer circumvent bandwidth throttling. QLink (or perhaps even the host network, T-Mobile) has obviously integrated some type of server-sided algorithm to control bandwidth strictly from the network itself.
[Android General] alipps1:
Recent Q-LINK subscriber. I got 2.5 Gb before I was seriously throttled. Now get less than 1Mb/sec d/l, sometimes less than .5Mb/sec. Not a happy camper
[Android General] alipps1:
So I spent 45 minutes on the phone with Q-LINK this morning trying to get them to tell me what the throttling cap is. The answer was the same BS, my data is unlimited and any slowing is caused by signal strength, network traffic, etc. I hate when companies tell you lies or obfuscate intentionally.
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
I concur. Pisses me off to no end. Getting a straight answer from QLink is an exercise in futility.
[Android General] markfothebeast:
My QLink data speeds throttle down to 0.5 Mbps after 2.5GB of data usage. This is not mentioned in the QLink Terms of Service. Also, QLink support seems to have no understanding of this. I believe this is on the T-Mobile networks end.

I find the slow speed throttle after 2.5GB of data usage unfair considering it's an "unlimited" data plan. This may or may not be grounds for legal action but I went ahead and filed a complaint with the FCC. The FCC has been very responsive and affective with my past complaints.
[Android General] markfothebeast:
Just an update on QLink data throttling at 2.5GB.

I had a conversation with QLink and they are awaiting T-Mobile's response. The FCC has given 30-days to respond and/or create a resolution before they intervene. I see no resolution in sight currently.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] khcho12:
Hi,

I updated HTC7500 with AP4.0 and Radio Version 1.57 recently.

After that, I had to go back to the previous Rom, say, AP3.0 and I installed the AP3.0 installer.

From then on, the problem comes out, that is, booting, cutomizing and booting again.

I have tried to re-install AP4.0 but it doesn't work.

Please help me out from this problem.

Thanks a lot.
