Internet Sharing Issues

[mdram]

I'm having the same issue with an unlocked Rogers Lumia 900 on Bell. I updated the other day to .98 and now I get connection not shared...no connection available.

I know how to fix this issue, here is what I did:

In the "mobile network" menu under Settings, I went all the way down to the "edit internet apn" box,

I entered the following information:


APN: isp.telus.com
Proxy server: 74.49.0.18
Port: 80

Note that the APN is isp.telus.com and not sp.telus.com

This allows tethering and also allows you to use mobile data on your phone. Telus just has separate APNs for tethering and regular mobile data, but I haven't noticed any difference between them besides the fact I can Tether! There might be a similar issue with Bell, just call them and ask for their tethering APN.

Hope this helps!

Edit: The issue comes back intermittently, the following is a workaround if your tethering or mobile data stop working on Windows Phone 8:

Change the APN back to sp.telus.com, reboot, wait for the data connection to come back (test it with WP Store or IE), then change it to isp.telus.com again. Check to see if the data connection is still there, if not give it time (took 5 minutes on mine sometimes). Once you can access the web, turn on internet sharing once again.

Hi hdpinto,

I've tried the same thing with little success. It worked at first about a week ago but hasn't worked since. I'm wondering if Internet Sharing is still working for you?

Thanks,

It did hiccup for me too, but it still works. If the data connection itself stops working, change it back to sp.telus.com, reboot, wait for the data connection to come back (test it with WP Store or IE), then change it to isp.telus.com again. Check to see if the data connection is still there, if not give it time (took 5 minutes on mine sometimes). Once you can access the web, turn on internet sharing once again. Its a hassle because Windows Phone 8 doesn't have separate tethering APN settings, and TELUS or other carriers are weird with tethering. Microsoft should really address this.

I'm having the exact same issues on my HTC 8X saying I don't have an internet connection to share...but I do and my plan does allow thetering...and my phone is all up to date with updates......whats weird about all this is that until about two weeks ago I didn't have any issues with sharing my internet with my laptop, everything was working fine and I would even leave my laptop connected overnights and the next day sometimes without even a hiccup.....i don't get it..
I tried everything including deleting and reactivating my APN and a couple soft resets....the only thing that comes to mind now after reading a couple of these posts is that me and my roommate tried swapping SIMs the other day which didn't work cause his phone is on Telus and mines on Bell..and I don't remember if I've tried to share my connection since then but probly not and the timing sounds about right too.....,so next step for me Isa hard reset/format to factory (which I don't really wanna do cause of everything I've accumulated on this thing) unless someone else has an idea.

I'm having a similar problem with my HTC Radar when I try to turn on Internet Sharing it says: "There's no mobile data connection to share at the moment. Check your mobile settings and signal, and try again" but my data connection is on. Internet Sharing used to work for me perfectly fine but I recently did a hard reset and since then it is not working. I tried putting my sim card in my sister's phone and internet sharing worked fine so it isn't a problem with the carrier-we can cross that out, it must be a problem with the phone.

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 am interested in installed a new rom. Please help me with the process thanks.
