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.

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!

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

Internet sharing no longer works after 10.5.3 upgrade

I'm aware that a number of people seem to be having wireless networking problems after upgrading to 10.5.3. I apologise if this has been covered somewhere else, but after trawling the forum I haven't been able to find any posts which deal with my specific issue. So any suggestions would be gratefully received...
My 24" 2.8GHz Intel iMac (purchased in Feb 2008) is connected to the internet via ethernet cable through a Speedtouch router supplied by my ISP, o2.
This internet connection is shared wirelessly with the other computer in the house, a G4 MDD running 10.3.9. After switching on Internet Sharing within System Preferences on the iMac, the G4 picks up and connects to the network created by the iMac, which is called (My Name)'s iMac.
All very straightforward, and until a few days ago this set up worked perfectly.
Then I decided to upgrade the iMac from 10.5.1 to 10.5.3, using the Combo updater downloaded from the Apple website.
As far as the iMac is concerned, the upgrade went perfectly and I have no problems whatsoever. I can still access the internet without difficulty as before.
The problem is with the G4. It no longer picks up the network from the iMac. The network's name ((My Name)'s iMac) no longer appears in the drop-down list under the Airport icon in the G4's menu bar (although this list does still contain the names of various neighbours' networks, as it did before, so the Airport in the G4 does still seem to be functioning). Internet sharing on the iMac is still switched on, and the Airport icon in its menu bar indicates that it is "transmitting", but the G4 is just not "receiving" any more. As a result, we can't get online on the G4.
I would be very grateful if anyone could shed any light on this problem. If there is any further information I can supply which might help, please ask.
Steve

Hi SteveSCA-
Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards
Have you tried powering everything down and then back up again?
Have you repaired permissions on the iMac?

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.

Laptop internet connection no longer works after adding Time Capsule to network

The other day I was setting up my Time Capsule for the first time at my new apartment (after having it in a box for months). I've got internet access through my apartment, so I haven't needed to use it as a router like I did the last time I used it. Also, the router is in another tenant's room. So I opened Airport Utility and adjusted the settings to add the Time Capsule to the network. After doing this, my laptop has lost its Internet connection. I can still connect to the network and my iPad has had no issues connecting to the same network and using the Internet, but the Internet won't work on my MacBook Pro (2006 model).
Since then, I've plugged an ethernet cable between my laptop and Time Capsule so I could find it on Airport Utility and change its settings to connect to the laptop via Ethernet. Also, I called my landlord and got the router reset.
I know the Time Capsule/Airport Utility is involved because the Internet connection died as soon as I tried adding my Time Capsule to the network.
Any suggestions?

I am having the same problem. It worked fine (connecting my iOS devices to my macbook pro using internet sharing) until Lion. Then it all went to ****.

Internet sharing no more working after upgrading to 10.5.6

With my early 2008 MacPro, I used to share my internet connection for my old iMacDV 400 (under MacOS 10.3.9).
All the network and sharing settings were fine prior to the upgrade to 10.5.6.
But after upgrading my MacPro to 10.5.6 I am no more able to browse the web from my iMacDV.
I checked on network setting on my iMacDV and thing looks fine, saying that machine is connected.
On the MacPro side, the network and internet sharing settings looks fine also. The firewall log is not showing any rejection of my iMacDV.
Did someone knows if some security fixes in 10.5.6 require to have additional settings in order to be able to share internet connection ?
Thanks in advance

In fact it seems that the installation of 10.5.6 was not completly done (some reboot were necessary).
I also repair permissions, and things get back to normal, network sharing working fine again.
Best regards

Home sharing no longer works after up-dating

After the last up-date several weeks ago, Home Sharing has stopped working. Have tried re-booting WiFi server, Reset and Restore Apple TV, re-loaded iTunes and nothing works. Any suggestions ?

I had this problem and do have have this same problem every time iTunes updates. What works for me is this.
1: reset windows fire wall to default which removes all apple software for the list of allowed programs. 2: go to programs and features on the control panel, select bonjour and click the repair button to reinstall it. 3: restart your pc. 4: once up and running go back to your firewall and re ad all apple programs(iTunes bonjour iCloud etc.)to the allowed list for your private home network. Exit out and open iTunes. I did this this morning and every part of home sharing is now working flawlessly for me across all devices.

Home Sharing no longer working after updating iTunes

After updating iTunes on both my computers to version 10.7, the home sharing feature is now not working. One computer can see and access the other's library but the other cannot see its. I have checked the sharing preferences on both computers. Both have 'Share my library on my local network' and 'Share entire library' checked and neither are set to require a password. I have turned on home sharing from the 'Advanced' sub menu in the menu bar and both use the same Apple ID.
Any thoughts on how I can fix this. I think it is just a bug and should hopefully get fixed but maybe it's just me.

I'm up and running. Spoke with Apple and they had me go to : preferences, network and create a new location. That seems to have reset something. I had to reset all my devices back to my main network that had stopped working. The guest network will not let Home Sharing work, only the main network.
Others have been able to use Home Sharing without clicking "Done" after typing in their password. After you click "Done" the Shared disappears in iTunes.
Apple help people were GREAT!

Internet sharing has stopped working after 10.8.2 upgrade

Hi. So, for the past year, I've been receiving WiFi internet on my iMac, and sharing it via ethernet and sometimes FW800. Lately, mostly just ethernet. As of 10.8.2, this has stopped functioning. I have heard many rumors about internet sharing issues in the update, but it seems I am in the extreme minority in terms of sharing internet via ethernet rather than sharing it via WiFi.
For the record, what I have tried so far is, enabling and disabling all options, trashing preferences, creating a second administrator account on the iMac and trying from that one, switching multiple ethernet cables just in case, and even switching to a different wireless network (we have two in my home on different wavelengths). It's always the same: devices recognize that they're connected to the ethernet port on the iMac. The iMac recognizes it's connected to them. They can obtain their own IP addresses through DHCP, but they cannot, under any circumstances, actually connect to the internet.
Please help! I'm tearing my hair out over here, as this was crucial to my setup. Updates shouldn't work this way.

As with other situations where a window is not visible, it is likely just off-screen where you can't see it. If your main "Final Cut Pro" window becomes inactive (close, minimize, and zoom buttons turn grey) when you attempt to open the "Background Tasks" window, this indicates that the window is definitely opened, it's just offscreen somewhere.
You can solve this problem by forcing FCPX to gather up all of its windows without having to delete your preferences:
1. Attempt to open the Background Tasks window in FCPX,
2. Switch to System Preferences->Displays and change your display resolution,
3. Switch back to FCPX and verify that you now have your missing window back,
4. Switch back to System Preferences and change your resolution back to its previous setting (likely the "Best for display" radio button).

File sharing no longer works after upgrading from 10.3.9 to Leopard

I'm trying to do file sharing on my PowerMac G5 with my MacBook Pro. The problem is when I try to connect to the G5 I get no response.
Powermac G5 was just upgraded from 10.3.9 to Leopard 10.5.6 (clean install, then used Migration Assistant to copy over files). File sharing worked fine on 10.3.9 until I upgraded the G5 to Leopard (the MBP has had Leopard for several months).
MacBook Pro is running 10.5.4.
From the Finder I select Go->Connect to Server. I select "browse", and the window that opens shows my G5 in the list (it's the only one). I double-click on my G5 and near the top of the window it shows "Connecting..." with the little spinner at the bottom right of the window, but that is as far as it gets. Just no response after that.
I tried to Ping the G5 but got no response.
At first I was trying this wirelessly through my Zoom DSL modem, but to troubleshoot I hooked up the two computers directly with an Ethernet cable but got the same result. No response from the G5.
I have File Sharing turned on in the G5's System Preferences. All 5 users have as least their write box shared. I've even set up a separate shared folder in one account.
Please, if you have any ideas please let me know. I'm stuck.
- LW

Wow. 64 views and not a single reply. I found a workaround, but I can't explain it so I'm going to keep this question unanswered for now.
I had the firewall on the G5 set to "allow only essential services", and file sharing was listed but still not working. However, if I change the firewall on the G5 to "Set access for specific services and applications" file sharing would work. I could sit there and toggle back and forth between the two settings and watch file sharing alternately work and then fail depending on the setting.
Weird.

Internet Explorer 9 no longer works after an uninstall of HP Support Centre

Internet Explorer 9 no longer works after an uninstall of HP Support Centre and drivers for 3 HP All-in-One printers (psc1310, C4180, F4200). Intend to re-install for just C4180. I selected option to remove for all related software, though the HP Update and Photosmart Essentials have been left. IE9 stops working when launched (even when launched with no add-ons and with Protected Mode disabled and Advanced Settings restored) and regardless of initial URL. If I remove the IE9 update then IE8 works fine. I tried re-installing IE9 update, twice, and it continues to fail.
I’m running Vista 32 Home Premium SP2 on Samsung Q210 with Norton 360 v5, SpywareBlaster and Spybot - Search & Destroy.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I now believe the problem with IE9 was not related to HP, but to a Windows Update replacement to the “Intel Corporation - Display - Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family” drivers: Intel Corporation Display software update released in February, 2011 (useless link http://winqual.microsoft.com/support/?driverid=20411791). IE9 started working OK when I set “Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering*” (see http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1678709 with reference to “faulting module igdumdx32.dll”), so will now investigate removing that update.
Sorry to have cast aspersions on HP. MS did this to themselves, as usual.

Apple TV Home Sharing no longer working

I have a friend who is looking for help Here is his problem:
"I've had the 2nd generation Apple TV since October when it was released and it has worked fine until I recently changed my Apple User Name (email address). After changing my user name my Apple TV and iPhone 4 no longer find my shared network and home sharing no longer works. Home sharing is enabled on all devices, including my Sony Vaio Laptop, iPhone4, and Apple TV 2nd generation. Everything else has remained constant, including service provider, router, modem, and internet security (Trend Micro). Also, my library is on a networked hard drive, which didn’t seem to make a difference before, but I figured I'd mention it."
The problem began when he changed his Apple User Name. After he changed his name, home sharing no longer works even though he also changed it on all his devices to match the new Apple User Name.
How does he get Home Sharing working again. Has anyone run into this same problem?
Thanks in advance

Winston,
Thank you for the information. He confirmed that the ID and password are the same on every device. This only started happending when he changed his User Name with Apple.
--Itunes is running on a Windows Vista Machine (Sony Vaio)
--He has an Apple TV (2nd Gen)
--He has an iPhone 4
Can you tell me more about the technologies that apple uses to make "homesharing" work? Do you think he may need to remove then re-install Bonjour?

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.....
