How to get Data,MMS, & Hotspot on BYOD Devices

It reverted to prior behavior. It enables the hotspot, my tablet connects to it, but no internet access.
 
Flashed my fiancee phone (Samsung s3 999L) back to factory and activated on my metro act. Now I can only send texts but can't receive, help! Worked fine before reset
 
I ended up fixing my tethering issue by editing the build.prop file.

Something about the Nexus 6 does not gel with MetroPCS's tethering. They couldn't figure it out when I called in either.

At least now it works, although it means I can't take OTA updates.
 
@Slammed01 I hope somebody finally hits Apple with a lawsuit over this. Blocking people from receiving their texts because they switched to a competitor should be illegal.

@bremos812 No, I bought my N6 unlocked. I've always been against buying my phones from the carriers.

Can you PLEASE explain how you fixed your Nexus 6 tethering on metro PCS.... I've been going NUTS FOR DAYS and still nothing!!!!!! I don't know how to adjust the build.prop and would rather not root unless I have to.
 
I've found an easier way since I last posted. In fact, it's the safest method since 6.0.1

I would now advise against pulling and editing the build.prop since the system partition is already full by default on 6.0.1.

You need to install ADB on your PC. Then enable USB debugging on your phone. While the phone is on, plug it in, run command prompt in the folder where you have ADB on your PC. Type ADB SHELL.

Then you need to enter 'settings put global tether_dun_required 0'

After that, type exit and you're done
