Xperia Z - Error Ocurred During Tethering

DavudDogrucu — Wed, 26 Jun 2013 18:49:37 GMT

Dear All,

I am in trouble due to tethering error on my Xperia Z. I have checked all the disscussions. I have asked assistance of Sony Customer Care in Turkey. I tried all the recommendations. No solution yet. As far as I understand, you are also experienced on this problem. If you find a solution, please share with the community too.

Thanks in advance !

did you flash/modify any files system files?

Back up your files and apss then

Try repairing it with Sony PC Companion or Sony Update Service, and see if the problem still persist.

No, I did not modify original SW.

Sony customer care also recommended repairing SW. (reinstall of original SW by Sony PC Companion) I did, but, no solution.

that error happens only when you are not connected to any data network.

No, I am able to use internet on the Phone. Data network is working. iPhone internet tethering is working in the same room with the same sim card.

After tethering function is ON, I am able to connect my notebook to Xperia Z wifi hotspot. But, no internet on the PC. (only local network is working)

some mobile operators do not allow tethering on their network - contact your carrier to confirm

also I have heard on certain types of devices (none android) this blocking can be ineffective

I tried another sim card from the same operator. It is not working. Another sim card from another operator will be delivered tomorrow. I will check and share the result.

This is not same us my case. My operator confirmed that, there is no restriction for internet tethering. Same sim card is working on iPhone 5 without tethering problem.

Who assumed this question as "Answered"??? No solution yet. I request attention of Sony people.

your carrier may not be telling you the truth - this is the only logical explanation for your problem

please give details of your carrier or research it yourself in your country

does tethering work with wifi ?

Dear all,

I am pleased to inform you that, I have tried with another operator's (Avea TR) sim card and internet tethering function has worked. It seems that, there is an incompatibility problem between Turkcell TR and Xperia Z. Or, Turkcell TR is applying a hidden restriction to Xperia Z. This restriction even may be intentionally in my opinion.

Thanks for all your assistance.

The problem is the APN settings.

Check all the APN settings on your phone.

If one of them has "dun" in "APN Type" field, your phone will use this APN setting for tethering.

Either remove this APN setting completely or if you can not remove the setting as me, clear this APN setting field.

None of the APN settings should have "dun" on their APN Type field unless you want to set a different APN account for tethering.

APN Type "default,supl" for the main APN setting is enough for most of the cases. Please check with your operator.

Hope this will solve your problem.

@DavudDogrucu

Clear the APN Type on Internet KKTCell APN setting.

Your problem will be solved.

Many thanks to @KorayHepsen Internet tethering function is now working on Turkcell network too.

A small notice : Do not forget to save changes on APN settings before exit.

Hi, I have the same problem. I have heard that the next update (4.4.3.) fixes the tethering problem. Cannot wait!
Good luck!
