AT&T OGP and PDANet

[mike37918]

I have an AT&T OGP and full version of PDANet+. When I try to activate the wifi hotspot I get the message "Tethering failed", and "Fail to activate hotspot, Fail to start wifi mode, please try again." When I try to activate a bluetooth server I get the message "Failed to initiate bluetooth." Anyone else seeing this problem? Any ideas?

Its just an ATT restriction ,no issue with your device

Same messages here, but then I get a message that flashes up saying I need to contact AT&T in order to provision tethering on my account, so it looks like they've figured PDANet out, and I don't need a 5GB plan for what little tethering I'd want to do.

SQLite will allow you to make modifications to a rooted phone that allows you to tether:

Thought it was probably an AT&T thing. Oh well. I still like this phone more than my Nexus 4, with which I was having various issues (not being able reliably to send pics by MMS being foremost among them.) But PDANet did work great with the Nexus. :-(
