Lumia 920 - internet sharing doesn't work: Connect...

Hello all,
I'm experiencing a serious problem with the lumia 920. It seems impossible to share my internet connection. Something I normally use for several hours a day. If this problem can't be fixed soon, ill be forced to swithc back to iphone or htc.
Problem description:
When turning "internet sharing" on:
Connection not shared - There is no cellular data connection to share right now. Check your cellular settings and signal, and try again.
Important remarks
Belgium - cellular provider is Mobistar
I can browse, sync email, etc over the provider's network ans send and receive MMS.
 Provider does not block internet sharing. Have always used this.
OS Version 8.0.10211.204
Firmware revision: 1232.5957.1308.0002
Access point :
 Nokia Access Point version:3.4.1.7 - db 2.0.0.100 - lib 1.2.0.7
 The default access point provided in the Nokia Access Point app does not work: can't even browse.
 Using a manually added APN:
 Data type (default / LTE) tried both. Everything keeps working - except internet sharing...
 APN pro.web.be  (for professional subscribers)
MMS APN mms.be
MMSC address: https://mmsc.mobistar.be
What have i tried to remedy the situatiuon?
 updated the Nokia Access Point app
 changed language to spanisch using OTA update (silly, but read on a forum this might help)
 soft reset of the phone (often!)
 deleted the manually created access point
 Hard reset of my phone
I'm interested, of course, in any tips to solve this serieus bug / issue / problem.
(my best guess is that Nokia tries to help their customers with the Access point app, but fails to do so).
Please, if any of you experience the same problem please respond to this post so we can get an idea about how big of a problem this is.

Hi,
I had the same problem. But I let it go after weeks of corresponding with Mobistar.
Yesterday I went to a Mobistar shop, the guy tried lots of thing I already tried (different apn's, ...).
Then he told me the it's a problem with business clients. They have to use the apn web.pro.be, where internet sharing doesn't work (he doesn't know why).
But, that if I call to Mobistar and ask to activate apn mworld.be on my telephone number, it should work.
Today I called Mobistar Business (you can find the helpdesk number on your invoices), asked to activate mworld.be to have internet sharing access on a windows phone.
Half an hour later, using mworld.be as apn i have internet access, and I can share my internet connection.
regards,
Stijn

  • Lumia 920: Internet Sharing no longer works after...

    I have a Lumia 920 that's a developer build that was provided at Microsoft Build.  After the latest OS update, I am no longer able to start Internet Sharing.  I receive a notification that I need to upgrade to a plan that supports mobile hotspot.  I am already on a plan with T-Mobile that supports mobile hotspots.  I confirmed this with a T-Mobile rep and they suggested I contact Nokia.
    Thank you for any help.

    Yes, unless you have completely reformated the device.
    now,use Japanese.
    crazy strange fix, but that's what I had to,do.

  • Lumia 920 Internet Sharing not working with Window...

    I am unable to get Internet Sharing to work from a nokia Lumia 920 to Dell XPS running Windows 8 with Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1030. Help !!
    Things I have tried:
    + Checked the phone was actually working with Internet sharing:  Different laptop running Winows XP connected fine, everything worked
    + Checked the Dell XPS could connect to inernet sharing using an HTC One as the hot spot: everything worked fine.
    + Tried turning on FIPS: made no difference:
    + Tried updating/different drivers: made no difference
    + Tried turning of N, and only using g: made no difference
    + Tried different access point settigns on the phone: made no difference
    This is one of those things I expect to just work, like it does when the phoen is used with a different laptop, or when a different phone is used with this laptop.
    I've run out of ideas. Any help appreciated.

    Finally fixed it. First I tried using the latest Intel drivers, but to no avail. So I did a driver rollback, and that seems to be working. Driver version now at 14.2.1.3, Microsoft release.
    So problem is a compaitibility issue with the drivers on the windows laptop.  All I can advise others having similar problems is keep trying different drivers (newest not necessarily the best)

  • Lumia 920 Internet sharing

    Hello,
    This might seem like obvious to many but my Lumia 920 is my first smartphone so, to me, this is all new
    At work, I connect my lumia to the company wi-fi without a problem.  I also have this win8 tablet which for some reason is unable to connect to the same network.  If I share internet from my phone (that is connected to the wi-fi, am I right in assuming that it is sharing the wi-fi internet and not my cell data plan?
    Is there any way to check this and make sure I won't get overcharged on my cell data plan?
    David
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    unless something has changed or is country specific, you are only able to use internet sharing when you are on the cellular network, not on a wifi network and then share the wifi.

  • Lync screen sharing doesn't work in Windows 10 Technical Preview (9879 Build)

    Why Lync screen sharing doesn't work in Windows 10 Technical Preview?
    It works well Windows 8.1, but why not in Windows 10?

    Hi PriTeddy,
    Thanks for your feedback.
    As Paul Adare said, Microsoft has noticed such issue, they are listed in following blog:
    http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2014/11/12/new-build-available-to-the-windows-insider-program/
    Some known problems:
    As with the last build, you’re getting hot-off-the-presses code which means there are a few issues. We’ll be publishing WU updates shortly to fix the first two, but the remainder will not be fixed for 9879.
    •In some cases you may get a black screen when trying to log-in or unlock. The only option is to hold the power button to hard reboot.
    •You will be unable to connect to Distributed File System network locations.
    •Some systems may see disk growth of 20GB+ due to driver install duplication. On systems with low disk space this can block setup and cause a rollback to the previous build.
    •Skype calls will disconnect and Music will stop playing if those apps are minimized.
    •There are several known issues with screen sharing with Lync.
    Let’s wait for next builds.

  • MacBook Air wifi internet shared network not working on tethered android phone GT B5122

    MacBook Air wifi internet shared network not working on tethered android phone GT B5122
    I have created a password protected wifi internet network on my Macbook air. I tethered by Andriod phone onto this network, but the internet connection works intermittently on the phone, and when it stops working the network continues to show as connected to the shared network mostly(other times it keeps renewing the wifi IP address on the Andriod phone).
    Also the network the MBA is connected to, is a hardwired one using a SSH login account in a student accomadations.
    I am not sure, but all the restarting and refreshing of system, phone and wifi sharing and re-enabling wifi is not reparing the internet connecting on the wifi network for the phone
    Really puzzled, if this is one of the Apple, Andriod compatability issues.
    Cheers,
    Vivek

    Hi.
    I'm having trouble with the wireless connection on my new home hub 3. Most devices will connect easily, but there are three devices that have trouble connecting. These are an Android Phone (Samsung Galaxy Mini), an android tablet (Sony Tablet S) and an iPod. All of these devices work perfectly on other network connections, and other devices in the house are quite happy connecting to the network.
    The Androids can see the network, and will try to connect to it, but when they do they just go through a loop of "connecting">>"acquiring IP address">>"disconnected". I have tried resetting the Home Hub with a pin, and that lets the devices connect for about 24 hours, but after that time they stop connecting again.
    I'm really not sure what to do to fix the problem, so I will very much appreciate some help.
    Many Thanks.
    My lads SGMini connects perfectly to our hub3
    Have you installed the BTFon app to these devices?
    If so, you could delete it and then see what hapens.....

  • Internet sharing no longer works after Lion 10.7.4 update

    Internet sharing no longer works after Lion 10.7.4 update. Hopefully Apple will fix this shortly. Little excuse for this kind of screw-up.

    so here is da answer
    1. go to finder>(computer name)>macintosh HD>library>preferences
    2. copy the entire systemconfiguration folder and systemconfiguration.old folder to your desktop
    3. restart mac and device which you share intenet to
    then you have internet that is about 3x slower than the da 10.7.3 intenet sharing, but works
    then, just wait for apple to release da 10.7.4 fixed
    please use da steps!

  • Sirius Internet Radio doesn't work after Snow Leopard

    Sirius Internet Radio doesn't work after I installed Snow Leopard. It works on my Firefox. I emptied the cache on my Safari, but still nothing. Any solutions?

    The reason why Sirius Radio online won't work with Safari anymore is because Sirius radio online is only supported by a 32-bit browser. Snow Leopard and all its applications are 64-bit. The best solution is to use firefox. If you still insist on using safari..... Go to adobe.com reinstall adobe flash player. Install/update Flip4Mac. Go to setting for Flip4Mac and check off all the options under the browser tab. Then when you go into Sirius Radio online, you will get an error message, just click okay. Then when you click a station, a quicktime player will come up and you will be able to listen to sirius online radio.

  • Internet sharing suddenly not working, PC related problem

    Here's the scenario. My Mac-Mini, using 10.7.4, is sharing its Wi-fi connection to my airport extreme base station through a hard-wired ethernet connection with a PC. So the mac is tethered via ethernet cable to the PC, so it can share its wifi connection to my AEBN. This arrangement has been working fine for over a year now.
    Today I updated the PC's (running XP SP3)  browser from IE7 to IE8 so I could use some web based work related sites. But now I can't connect to the internet on the PC. The PC confirms it has a network connection, and it sending and receiving packets of data, but if you open a browser, any browser, it can't load or do any business whatsoever.
    What I've checked: Nothing on the mac's system prefs have changed. The mac works on the internet just fine. I've run through the PC's network connection wizzard 3 times already, no joy on the browser, but the Mac is capable of seeing shared files on the PC. The PC firewall is off. I don't know what to do or who to talk to. I realize this probably isn't the place to seek help as I think its a Windows XP issue but I'm a Mac user and the connection is shared (because the PC has no wifi card) so its in a gray area.

    Hey i also had this problem, i hard reset my device & it gone but soon came back the troubleshoot says DNS server isn't responding but i fix this by the help of my experience. It will also help U all. ••-:OLUTION::-••
    First connect your lumia 800 to your pc the pc will show no internet access but don't worry this all IS BECAUSE OF A SETTINGS FAULT IN THE WINDOWS .Fix :- open network & sharing centre right click ur device name (ssid) then click on properties(status) then a dialog box will open click on device properties open second tab in which select your
    security ->WPA2-Personal
    encryption type -> (don't change it)
    Pin -> (type your pin)
    Then press ok ,after this wait 1min if problem not solved reconnect your device.

  • Nokia Lumia 720 internet sharing DNS problem

    Hi,
    I am using Nokia Lumia 720 (OS version 8.0.10517.150) for internet sharing and have had DNS issues lately. When connecting to hotspot with my laptop I get DNS server is not responding error. Phone has data connection and I can browse the internet through phone but cant use it to share the data connection. When I connect my laptop with other wifis it works fine also so the fault must be in Lumias hotspot generation.
    Had the same problem few weeks ago but then restarting the device and changing hotspot settings helped but it does not do the job right now.
    Any ideas?

    Hi kalverk,
    Welcome to the forum! 
    Have you tried using your micro-SIM card with other internet sharing capable phones to verify it the issue is network or device related? Aside from your laptop, have you tried sharing your Lumia 720's internet connection with other phones?
    Here are some tips that might help you resolve the issue:
    1. If enabled, switch Battery saver mode off: Tap Settings > battery saver > Off. You can also just connect the phone to the charger.
    2. Check the signal strength on the phone screen. To increase the signal strength, move around or move towards a window if you are inside a building.
    3. Keep your phone in the idle mode. Incoming or outgoing call will interrupt the data transfer until the call ends.
    4. Check the cellular data indicator (E, 2G, 3G, H+, 4G) at the left side of the phone's screen. Change the mobile network's highest connection speed from 3G/4G to 2G and back again to make sure that your phone is connecting to the network correctly. Go to Settings > mobile network (or mobile + SIM or cellular or cellular + SIM).
    5. Make sure that the internet sharing security type (if not selectable, WPA2 is used) and password settings match between the connecting device and your phone (Settings > internet sharing).
    6. Make sure that the operator mobile data plan subscription allows Wi-Fi tethering and your network operator has enabled internet sharing on the phone.
    7. If possible, try to create a connection with some other device or force the connecting device Wi-Fi adapter to use 802.11g standard - disable 802.11n mode. On a Windows PC, go to Control Panel > Network and Internet >Network Connections, and right click your active Wireless Network Connection and open Properties >Configure > Advanced, then select 802.11n and set value to Disabled. Once ready, press OK.
    8. Connect again, as internet sharing switches off after 5 minutes of inactivity.
    Let us know how it will go. 

  • Home Sharing doesn't work on my iMac (2013)

    Hi,
    I have an iMac 2013, all my music and movies are on it.
    Home Sharing is enabled.
    I have the iMac, an iPhone, an iPad and an Apple TV all on the same network, sponsored by a Time Capsule.
    None of the 3 devices can connect to the iMac library. The Apple TV doesn't see it. When I add the library in the Remote app of the iPhone and iPad, I have to enter the code in iTunes but then after the app is "looking for the library" without finding it.
    The main reason was for me to load my movies from the Apple TV in my living room, but it doesn't work as it can see the Home Sharing. I can though AirPlay the iMac on the Apple TV (so definitely on the same network).
    Any idea? I've done the whole bunch of crap from Apple, nothing works. Rebooted like 20 times each.

    I brought my macbook air at home, everything worked perfectly: iPhone, iPad and Apple TV can connect. So basically I guessed that the issue was coming from the iMac, something preventing it to be discovered. I've checked the bonjour broadcasting and oh, surprise, the iMac wasn't broadcasting... Weird because it's a setup from a Time Machine, the environment I am running currently on the macbook air.
    Anyway, if this can help someone else:
    I've ran:
    ps aux | grep mDNS
    and saw that for the iMac the daemon was launched with the argument -NoMulticastAdvertisements.
    I've setup the daemon to run back as normal and restarted the computer:
    sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder ProgramArguments -array /usr/sbin/mDNSResponder -launchd
    After the reboot, everything works flawlessly (it has never worked before for the 6 months I had the Apple TV).
    Also interesting discovery and I think it's new because I don't remember being able to do that before, but some of my devices are on the separate 5Ghz network, some are on the 2.4Ghz and they can still all communicate flawlessly. I can use AirPlay on the Export Express that is on the 2.4 from the iMac that is on the 5Ghz, and I can access the iMac library from whatever band. Pretty nice!
