Xperia SX - problem with wifi tethering

gbtoth — Thu, 03 Jan 2013 17:03:04 GMT

Hi Guys,

I have bought an Xperia SX (SO-05D) recently. It functions well, except for the following features:

- cannot share my 3G trough wifi tethering - when I turn it on, the device gives me the following error message: 'Network error occurred', and turns off tethering.

- can't send contact information in SMS - 'Content cannot be added to message'

- no option to create MMS

Could anyone provide some help to solve the issues above?

THX,

Gabor

perhaps the APN settings are wrong and/or your SIM card it's faulty

APN settings are correct, got them from the network operator. SIM card is brand new, and functions perfectly with my other phone (can send contacts and MMS).

ok, how about this, some carriers disable this option, since they want you to pay extra to be able to tether, this might be the issue here

I'm pretty sure that this is not the case, as I've tried the wifi tethering with my other phone with the same SIM. It works with the other phone.

Tried the app, but I get the following message: 'WiFi Hotspot mode is not supported on this device.'

Still not closer.

Hi uliwooly,

Will these changes affect the warranty of the phone?

THX,

Tried all possible updates, but none of them fixed the tethering problem. Any other suggestions?

I am using the Xperia SX in the USA on AT&T. I have the exact same problems. When I activate WiFi tethering, I often get an error (Network error occurred). I also have not found a way to send or receive MMS. When people send me MMS, I never receive the message and they never get an error.

I have also run into some odd Bluetooth issues where the phone wasn't connecting to my headset. I often have to cycle Bluetooth off/on.

I also see some odd WiFi behavior where it's not finding known hotspots. I often cycle WiFi off/on.

Still no solution to this problem. WiFi Hotspot does not work. Howver, I've been using the BlueDUN app to tether my tablet and that helps in some situations.
