Request from Orange UK: For tethered or MiFi connections the device should use a different APN than that used for on-board data (browsing, apps etc). The current settings that should be used for all devices should be:- • Tethered/MIFi data - consumerbroadband • Onboard data – orangeinternet Both these APN settings have to be none-editable by the user, however the user should be free to add other APN’s. For enterprise devices we are looking into either using a different APN or the user being able to create and use a different apn for tethered/MiFi data – but with the user not being able to select the orangeinternet apn. As such it would be very useful if you could respond with ideas on how this could be achieved. What need to be done: For Android devices, 3G modem or 3G device with thethering, tethering must be able to use sepcific APN This should be under customisation: allow all APN or only tethering APN As usual APN must modifiable or not by end user (under custo.

Hi Shawn, Could you please help to check the problem? Is is new feature request? Thanks!

Hi Edgar/Arthur: Could you please help shed some light for this feature? Thanks!! Shawn

The apn settings for data connection and tethering are separated. You should be able to set an apn for tethering by entering Cellular & Data -> Tethering settings.

Hi Reporter, Can you check you can add APN setting per comment 4?

Hi Arthur, Per comment 9, is this by design?

I am not sure. but I wish we can also get data in tethering settings (like data settings)

Per comment 4 and comment 18, please kindly let us know if any help from us is needed.

(In reply to sync-1 from comment #17) > I am not sure. > but I wish we can also get data in tethering settings (like data settings) The default apn settings for tethering is from apn.json. The setting fields are empty when there are no available default settings for the sim card you are currently using. Depending on your case you might consider adding the new apn settings in /shared/resources/apn/operator-variant.xml and regenerate apn.json.

I don't know what is `isdm_sys_properties.plf`. AFAIK, we usually add customized system properties in make file. I guess we need partner's comment here.

This "ro.tethering.dun_required = 1" need to be done in "device.mk" under device folder. partner needs to do it by them-self.

if we need to add type-"dun" into apn.json e.g: {"carrier":"中国移动 (China Mobile) GPRS","apn":"cmnet","type":["dun"]}, then the tethering settings can read data from it?

Correct. If you add an apn item to the apn items array listed under a specific pair of mcc/mnc, it will be the default apn setting when the icc card of the mcc/mnc is being used.

ok,thanks a lot! please close this case.
