Internet Sharing Issues

[wptrial]

Hello, fellow Lumia users
I am currently unable to share my internet connection with my Rogers unlocked Lumia on Wind's mobile network. It keep saying I am not connected to a 3g network. Anyone else have this problem or solution? I've done a wipe with no effect.

Are you running Tango?

 

[wptrial]

Yeah, just updated but it says I'm not connected to the 3g network.

Exact Message Reads:

Connection not shared
There's no cellular data connection to share right now. Check your cellular setting and signal, and try again

Can you verify for sure your Roger's Lumia can get 3G speeds on Wind?

 

[wptrial]

Yes, it's a multi-band phone.

So, did MS enable tethering on every phone, regardless of carrier/data plan? Or do u still have to notify your carrier and pay a little extra per month?

 

[speedtouch]

Yes, it's a multi-band phone.

Hmm, then I really don't know. It just seems to me that your phone for some reason doesn't know that it really is connected to 3G/4G.

I'm not sure. I'd suspect you must enable this through the carrier somehow to use it. I haven't tried it on my Lumia 710 on T-Mobile USA.

Yeah, I'll be trying to use my friend SIM card on mobilicity or another carrier. Will get back to you after that attempt.

I'm having a similar issue....I updated to the latest firmware (7.10.8773.98), the tango update and was pleased to see the internet sharing feature available.

Unfortunately, whenever I try to turn on internet sharing I receive the following error message:

Connection Not Shared: There's no cellular data connection to share right now. Check your cellular settings and signal.

I'm using a Rogers unlocked Lumia 710 on Telus' network. I called Telus to verify if there's any restrictions placed and they said that I am entitled to internet sharing and all should be fine. My data is working fine (3G), apn settings seem fine (sp.telus.com) but yet I can't use this feature that I really need. I don't know what else to do

Rogers must be blocking out data tethering or they made it so they are the only one's that provide the service for the phone. Which if is the case is anti-competitive behaviour. Will insert my friend's microsim from an iphone to make sure.

I'm using it on Rogers, just updated and while I can get other devices to connect to my phone, it won't get internet. I guess I'll have to switch to a tethering plan (seems Rogers is slowly making it standard for new phones) and try it out. Note I forced the update on my phone via the xda cab files.

Thanks for the updates. Please keep me posted on what happens.

I have the exact same issue with my Lumia 710 purchased from Rogers, unlocked and running on Virgin Mobile. The flex data plan allows tethering but I get the same message when I try to turn on Internet Sharing:

Connection not shared
There's no cellular data connection to share right now. Check your cellular setting and signal, and try again

----
Should mention that I got tired waiting for the update to come so I forced the update using the Wifi hack/trick documented elsewhere (the best one I found was here: http://mynokialumialife.wordpress.com/2012/07/02/trick-cant-wait-get-the-tango-ahead-of-the-others/). Maybe I need to wait for my phone to make the official distribution list from the original carrier (Rogers)?

Anyone know a way to force another rom in to bypass rogers. I believe the rogers rom doesn't let internet sharing except from roger itself.

This may be worth your time.

anyone have a phone they bought from wind mobile, that has wifi tethering functioning?

 

[xalasten]

I am having the same issue with unlocked rogers on bell. But it seems to fix the issue we need the network tool from nokia because we don't have a way to change the apn settings. This also prevents Mms messages from working too. The tool however it was pulled from the market in North America. Hoping it will return soon. This post discusses the issue toohttp://forums.windowscentral.com/general-discussion/194744.htm.

Anyone figure this out? I have a T-Mobile Lumia 710 unlocked on Telus. I flashed a Wind Rom onto it and internet sharing worked. However, I have since flashed back to the T-Mobile rom and it doesn't seem to work anymore. The Network Settings app isn't released in Canada yet either so I can try that fix..

I'm interested in installing a new rom. Where did you get the Wind Rom and how was the installation process?
