The next challenge is internet sharing. It seems that nokia worked with ATT which doesn't allow user to have tethering. However, there is a trick to get rid of it!
HOW TO:
Requirements (Pre-requisites)
Lumia 920 Phone (my one is with Rogers firmware)
Straight Talk microSIM
Foreign microSIM (for me, CMHK)
Access Point, installed on the phone. access point | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)
Step-by-Step
Part I :
- Use Access Point and the foreign SIM to configure tethering settings
- Insert foreign SIM card into phone and boot it up.
- Goto Settings->Access Point, launch the app, and verify that it applies the foreign settings (it should read 'active' underneath the Mobile Operator settings being used)
- Reboot the phone to ensure the settings 'stick'
- Shut down the phone.
- Remove the SIM card.
Part II:
- Uninstall Access Point to keep the tethering settings. (If you don't do this and boot with the Straight Talk SIM, Access Point may apply a different set of tethering settings.)
- Boot the phone
- Go to settings->Time & Date
- Turn off Automatic Date, set the year to 2113 (or something ridiculous)
- Go to settings->Access Point. When you launch the app, it will request to uninstall because it has expired. Uninstall it.
- Restore the time & date settings, shut down the phone.
Part III:
- Boot with the Straight Talk SIM and configure APN/MMS settings
- Insert the Straight Talk SIM card, boot phone
- Goto Settings->Cellular
- Configure & save internet settings with (this should be consistent w/ the Straight Talk website)
- APN: tfdata
Send yourself a picture MMS to apply the new MMS and data settings (this is important).
Go to Settings->internet sharing, turn on sharing.
and here we go~~~
