Uverse App Does Not Work On Verizon GNEX? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I have my GNEX on Verizon. I have been trying to get the AT&T Uverse App to work since I downloaded it. Regardless of whether I am connecting via wi-fi, 4G or 3G, I cannot get it to work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled to see if it was corrupted, but that failed as well.
Attached is a screenshot of the error (Unable to connect to Server). Is anyone else having issues with the Uverse App? Is this being blocked by Verizon?
The app worked on my Blackberry (course the BB was on AT&T).
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Could be due to the fact that you don't show having any service, nor are you connected to wifi...

Here is another screen shot with full wi-fi.....
....when I have 4G or 3G bars showing, I get the same message as my original post. I am able to do every other task imaginable on either of the three data connections except for the Uverse app.

Well apparently there is a compatibility issue with ICS which is causing the connection error. I am sure AT&T will not be to hard-pressed to update their app until they are ready to offer an ICS device.....oh well....

any workarounds yet for this perhaps?

I'm having the exact same issue. I really hate AT&T.

Same....
I am having the SAME exact problem. Use to work fine on my Droid Charge, then I upgraded now I get the same thing all of you are getting. :-<

They haven't even updated their freaking app since August... They're pathetic.

It's AT&T. Their corporate physiology is just do the bare minimum. They built an app, some people can use it, that's good enough for them. Same goes for their network.
BTW: I am able to get to my DVR via the web browser:
http://uversetv.att.yahoo.com/wra/uverse/

I called att today about this. They put me through to the app maker who in turn blamed att. First they hung up on me after they told me it won't work on every phone and I called them lazy for not wanting to update it for new phones. The second time they blamed att. Idk...

I think it's an ICS issue. It worked fine on my non-at&t Nexus One on 2.3. I think there's a thread on the official u-verse forum about it.

T-Mobile's $15 tethering option??

Engadget had an article that states Tmobile will now charge for tethering starting sunday Nov. 14th. I am wondering if us who have been able to root the G2 get charged for using the tethering option? If so i can always use wireless tether but the built in android hotspot is much better in my opinion. If anyone knows the answer that'll be great as i dont want to get charged without knowing.
No. From what I've been able to gather, there's no way for T-Mobile (or anyone else) to tell the difference if you're tethering or just using standard(phone) mobile data.
Well something I just noticed today was a redirect to an upsell page. This is using the G2 with PDAnet, I have had no luck getting the native tethering to work. I will keep trying and see if I run into that same issue. I'll also post a pic of the page that it'll take you to.

here's the lovely site you'll get trying to get you to buy the subscription to tether. I have also noticed that G1 and MT3G1.2 and they're still able to tether just fine.
Well I just tethered without getting that message so I guess us rooters got around their trap!! Niiiice

tmo probably made and agreement to not remove pda net from the market if they made it to where tmo could check if the user is tethtering with pdanet
Actually, I am rooted and I was using PDANet, followed by Wifi Tether and I got the page both times.
this sounds like either they are filtering for user agent(easy to bypass), but then again i could be wrong. i used to use pdanet, and even paid for it(didn't like wifi tether on G1 because battery temp would get too high) and now if i can't use that app i'm going to be very upset. try changing your user agent to "Android" and see if you can tether
they will only notice if you pass the 3gb - 5gb limit, refrain from downloading while using tether.

WIFI tether

i cant seem to find anything on this and if im just missing it im sorry for the thread...
Is there wifi tethering available for rooted gnexus cdma/lte?
I know it is built into some of the available ROMs. I use Gummy and I can verify that it has wireless tether and that it works just fine.

Hop into Settings, More..., Tethering and Hotspot.

Ok, gotcha. Thought those were tracked by Big Red. (and whats the difference between tethering and hotspot?)
Teathering is, technically, any form of using your phone's internet via an outside source (USB, WiFi, Bluetooth.....serial..etc).
Hotspot is, specifically, WiFi, and can have multiple users.
Elixir 2 widgets make a hotspots toggle and it works on unrooted nexui too

Actually similar to the T-Bolt if you are stock then hotspot requires a separate plan which the application will tell you when you try to run it.
If you are rooted than the hotspot runs without any additional plans. I'm on AOKP and the portable hotspot works very well.
Yeah I'm sure verizon knows when another device is shareing their connection because each device leaves a different signature on their networks. However, there is an ongoing debate on whether Verizon's blocking of tethering apps outside of its service is in violation of the terms of the purchase of the "C Spectrum" aka 4G LTE they acquired at the auction years back. Read here: http://www.dailywireless.org/2011/11/04/hotspot-tethering-fees/
Hello,
I'm about to switch to Verizon from the ET4G. Can someone help point me to the closest to stock root that allows me to tether? I'm not sure if it is the same on this phone but for the ET4G there were some close to stock roots that I could put the wifi_tether from http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether on my phone.
Since I'm brand new to ther GN, feel free to recommend a better route.
Thanks in advance, this site was extremely helpful with all my ET4G inane questions.

Check this out!

I had a weird thing happen with my signal today. It kept going out, and data just wouldn't work! Although the 3G icon was there nothing would download. Here is a pic of the connection status! Look at the mobile network type!

i had this happen to me for like two weeks on and off. After a while it would do this to me while the bars were blue! I tried toggling my data on and off, toggling airplane on and off, rebooting and even calling sprint to have them restart my data. This even followed me from rom to rom. The only way I got rid of it was to download the complete FH05 jellybean tar and odin back to stock jelly bean. I tried to odin to FD02 and except the ota but it followed me there too. Its wierd, and it started after I flashed a certain rom(wont name it cuz i cant be sure it had anything to do with it) and then the rom gave me some probs I wiped and restored my nandroid of cm10 I had before I flashed the mystery rom and thats when it started. And cm10 was working awesome for like three weeks before the mystery rom flash. I mean problems dont just pop up, theyre either there or theyre not.
Well I ended up calling Sprint today to find out what the problem was and they told me it was due to some tower being worked on! Maybe it has to do with the LTE?
I've had that happen to me a couple of times. Mainly its when I had it set to run on GSM/Edge/LTE/HSPA+ mode.
Its just due to the way your phone finds the best tower. It shouldn't hurt your phone, or affect your data in any way. Just switch your roaming profile to home only. It should fix it.
And to the Photoshop guy...
Are you that stupid? Seriously, use your mind. It doesn't look photoshopped. Even if it was, it would be a decent work.

[Q] Google Play Carrier Billing Error Code

I'm usually quite savvy at these things, but I've seem to run into a snag and need some help. I've searched everywhere and can't find a solution
I am unable to purchase anything on Google Play via carrier billing. Credit cards seem to work just fine. I get this message: "Your purchase on your T-Mobile USA billing account was declined. Please select a different payment method [BM-CPE-16]. I called T-Mobile to make sure I didn't go over any limits and they did some troubleshooting with me to no avail. They connected me to Google Play and they couldn't help me either (They seem to blame each other for the problem) I did root my S4 a few days after I got it (around May 14th) I'm not sure if I screwed something up with the Play Store in the process. Any help would be greatly appericated!
Thanks!
Are you making the purchase while on TMob's network (ie not on WiFi)? At least on Sprint I'd always get that error if I was using WiFi.

Oh yea, for sure. That was the first thing I did. Turn off my WiFi... I cleared Google Play, Google Play Services and Framework. Even tried removing and adding back my whole Google Account. I also removed billing from Wallet online. I may factory restore in the morning to see if that helps.

Okay, I'm glad I'm not the ONLY one! I had an S III before this and I didn't have this problem. Are you getting the same error message I am?
I don't exactly remember the message
Something saying that my account can't be confirmed
I can try to buy something again to check
Just checked...

I had the same issue and noticed that google billing service error occure in only one case - when I restored my apps from backup (like titanum backup). When I resotre all my apps, after fresh rom flashing, from google play store everything is fine. So I think that's the case.

FoxFi works on Marshmallow 6.0

FoxFi has survived the latest update to marshmallow 6.0
Can confirm it works on Verizon LG G4 6.0 VS98624C

Thanks, I was holding my update because of this.
I'm on the v10 with Verizon and it just randomly stops. Anyone else having problems
I can confirm it works fine on 25a also.

I assume by "g4" you mean a Galaxy Note 4? If so, I have tried it, and initially it was not working for me. I have a 3 mobile SIM card (I'm in the UK now) in my Verizon Note 4 with the latest Marshmallow update (build number MMB29M.N910VVRU2CPF3) and when I tried to turn on WiFi tethering via FoxFi, it went through Starting Hotspot...1, 2, 3 messages and then I just get a message saying that it couldn't start the hotspot (I forgot to write down the exact message).
It also didn't seem to be able to control the hotspot at all, since when I start the WiFi hotspot on its own (without FoxFi), it started up, then I went into FoxFi to stop it, it gave me a message about not having started it, closing anyway, yet the hotspot kept running...
HOWEVER, as I was typing this up, I was going through the process to be able to write down some of the details - and like magic, it started working! ;] I have absolutely no idea why it started working now, I don't recall changing anything at all. The only thing is that the hotspot was active all night (forgot to turn it off - heh). Well, I'll take it! :laugh:

Dude, you are in the "Verizon LG G4" forum... so g4 doesn't mean Galaxy Note 4!
Whoops, sorry! Dropped into this from a search and didn't pay attention to which forum it was. Mah bad! ;]
No worries, I appreciate you trying to help, just thought it was funny.
