I have a unlocked note 8. I have sprint unlimited data service. i was under the impression that you could just use the hotspot with it like this. but every time i turn it on it turns off right away. am i missing something? again its not a sprint variant its the unlocked phone. any help would be great. I'm sure I'm missing a very little detail.

simple. follow this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-note-8/themes/hotspot-mod-root-t3676848
Typically after doing this setting adjustment, i have to turn hot spot on. wait a second, then cycle mobile data off and then on. then it'll work perfectly.

TYVM
for anyone else who runs into this thread. the fix is as below. i got it from several places of the above post. sorry if i didn't give everyone who did the work credit. i tried to:
THE FIX:
First download and open "Shortcut Master Lite"
then do the folloing:
quote DahoBO
Do a search for "LTE"
Look for the instance "LTEFunctionality Test" "com.test.LTEFunctionality"
Once open, look for "LTE APN Settings"
There should be two which you can edit, the first is " APN2 EHRPD internet"
The second is APN2 LTE internet, this is the one you would like to edit.
Scroll down to "APN type" and add the ",dun" and done.
The finish product should be "default,mms,dun"
Ran into some issues as I only had 1 PAN showing. Just went through and added a new APN with ,duns at the end.of the APN type. Data works fine, but haven't had a chance to test tethering yet. Thanks a mil!

...I don't know if the problems are the same and apply to me.
Okay, I rooted the phone and upgraded to cyanogenmod 6...everything worked great (had a few bumps down the road but fixed them and continued on the way). I got passed the g1 splash screen and into the google sign in screen. I sign in but it doesn't connect to servers. I have data and am connected to wifi.
Did I do something wrong? What can I do to pass this?
I searched every where before I decided to post so please if you think that this is a repeat of an older thread, I'm sorry, that was not my intention.
Please help me.

this is what it says exactly "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server".
Don't know if it helps.
Thanks
Sound like you do not have a reliable DATA connection. Do you see the EDGE, 3G, etc...?

I don't see the 3G sign but I do see the wifi connection sign, and I do have connection to it...maybe it's not that strong? I'm currently using a wifi spot and am not at home, but shouldn't the 3G just cover where ever I am sorta speak?
you should also activate:
Settings->Account & sync : both background data and auto-sync
try this! i had the same problem times ago

Concur with P4p3r1n0. Also, make sure that your APN setting is there and correctly filled out.

Has anyone else had issues with wifi not staying off? I normally turn wifi off when I leave the house to go to work. But when I get to work I will notice when I unlock my phone that I have a pop up asking me if I want to connect to the office wifi network. I go into setting and wifi has spontaneously turned itself on. I will turn it off again but the same thing usually happens the next time I unlock my phone and open the browser. Then just now, I unlocked the phone and opened the browser and the wifi network notification popped up again, but this time I went into settings and and it says the wifi is still off. I am starting to wonder if my D4 is just screwing with me now for the fun of it. Anyone else had any issues like this?

Do you use the smart actions on the phone?
I looked into setting them up at one time and got a warning saying some of the functionality of that app required wifi being on.

That's actually a setting on the phone, where it will ask you if you would like to connect to wifi anytime an application requires a data connection. It's just to prevent you from going over your data plan. Go to your Wi-Fi settings and uncheck the "Notify Me" option under Wi-Fi autostart reminders.

Hi there! would like to seek your help regarding my galaxy note, I encounter packet data on/ff and cannot connect to mobile data (internet) but my sim card is working (can send sms and call). i just put my phone yesterday to flight mode and after that it cannot able to connect to internet. I did factory reset and some wipe of cache.. is there any advice? my phone is rooted already with franco kernel (stock ICS rom only). Please help Sir.
Please do not "FACTORY RESET" , You could potentially brick your phone.
1. Try to see if you have your "DATA" on. With DATA off 3g/h/h+ will not work only wifi would.
2. Worst case scenario, take out your SIMCARD and put it back again.

Hi, Thanks for the reply,
I already did some of the basic steps, It just so happen that the history of this problem was because after I put my phone to "flight mode for about 5 hours" and the the packet data icon "3g/H" were no "DOWN arrow" color orange where as I know is a sign of good connection. but the icon only lit the "UP arrow" please help
May also be a issue with having incorrect APN information (Some carriers do not Automatically push out the right details)
Under settings> Wireless And Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names
Check the listings are correct for your network.

Hi, Actually my phone's packet data was working well before I put it in "flight mode" meaning my APN settings is OK. for reference here are some of my screen shots which I edit to see the ICONS status,,thanks for the help!.
Don't know what still seems like a apn issue. Only because I would expect atleast one reply from the network during the connection discussions.
The fact that the orange arrow never lights up to me indicates that the network never gets the sent packets.
Have you tried anything like the apn on/off alps from the the playstore.
Otherwise I cannot see why having airplane mode on for a while would permanently ruin your data connection

Hi, yup but as you know some apn tweatering app is no longer feasible with ICS,
Yes, I am also not convince about after flight mode / airplane mode activation that causes my phone not to connect to the internet. I guess this is related to root bug, this was my 1st time to enable flight mode under rooted condition so I wonder that this might be the root caused. Can anyone suggest to unroot? Please advice, Thanks and Mabuhay!
Bump
Sorry to be bumping this old thready but was the OP able to ressolve the problem? I have been having exactly the same issue but only intermitantly, if I reset my phone everything is fine for a while and then all of a sudden I loose the orange arrow and will only see green.
I am unable to recieve calls or make them, no internet etc. I am on Tmobile UK now EE, have gone through the standard error checking with tmobile but no luck, first they said it was the network being down and no they say it's my phone but I don't see how it's been fine for ages and all of a sudden I have this problem.
It's totally random, I have decent reception so I have say 3g or h+ with 2 or 3 bars but no orange arrow
Any ideas?
DISCLAIMER: This is my first thread on XDA, so hopefully I'm not posting in the wrong place/format/context/whatever. If I am, sorry.
For those of you with AT&T plans that don't include Tethering, I came across a simple way to bypass this with root and allow you to run the built in tethering instead of having to use FoxFi.
What you'll need:
Xposed Framework
X Tether Module (Xposed Module)
Root (towelroot method)
Titanium Backup
Root Explorer/ES File Explorer
Step 1:
Install Xposed Framework.
Once installed, launch Xposed Installer, go to Downloads and search for X Tether
Install X Tether, Activate the Module, and reboot.
Step 2:
Open Titanium Backup and find TetheringProvision 4.06.72
Press the App and select 'Freeze !'
Step 3:
Open Root Explorer and navigate to:
/system/app/
Now rename TetheringProvision.apk and TetheringProvision.odex
to TetheringProvision.apk.bak and TetheringProvision.odex.bak
Step 4:
Reboot, Set up Hotspot and Enjoy!

Tried this, when I attempt to activate the HotSpot it says "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped."
After following the updated instructions, my hotspot appears to be working. Thank you!
Yea, that looked too easy. Usually you would swap the tethering provision files with hacked ones.

I see you changed the instructions in the thread. That just renaming the file like you suggested earlier, well AT&T caught on to that, and now that doesn't work anymore.

Hi shortydoggg,
You're right, I left out the most important part, the Xposed Module.
X Tether (or Moto Tether) is what actually clears out the array that stores the provision varification data (config_mobile_hotspot_provision_app)
Just running this module didn't work for me at first but after renaming the Tether Provisioning files it worked fine.
I also had trouble renaming the files until I froze the Tether Provisioning apk file.
I just ran another test and the built in wifi hotspot is still working great with my 3GB monthly plan.
Works awesome!!!!
BTW, I have the Grandfathered Unlimited Data Plan.
Thanks!
Did this yesterday, worked fine. THANKS!
Also another grandfathered unlimited plan here; they provisioned the plan on my new GS5 but couldn't enable tethering. This solves that!! Awesome!!

Open the Xposed network on your phone and check that the tethering module is activated, and that the xposed network actually installed. You may need to do another step (hint)
Wifi tether speed
I was able to allow mobile hot spot on my Att S5 using the S4 method of replacing the tetherprovision.apk, problem is the speed of the devices connected is terrible. Fine for checking email on one device but not for streaming netflix on multiple like I need. Anyone know of a way to change this? Is it some config file that is set purposely to limit tethered devices?
Note 3 4.4.2
works, thanks
having trouble with the settings also

It works great.
Question - will T-mobile know when I'm tethering? If so, is there a way... ?

They shouldn't notice. I've been tethering on my s2 for years without any issues.
Some developers will say it is technically possible. If your concerned, a VPN service will hide all of your online habits from Tmobile.
I have a subscription through PrivateInternetAccess, I havent hand any issues with their app.
It works!!! I'm also on the grandfathered unlimited plan!
Thanks!!

Note 3 AT&T on T-Mobile, never used hotspot before
A few questions -
1. Phone gets hot when hotspot is on. Is that normal?
2. Connection drops from time to time. IPv6 connectivity shows "no internet access", but then works without me doing anything. Is that T-Mobile's fault?
3. When I received a call the icon changed from LTE to 4g, but while hotspot is on and pc connected, the signal never changed back to LTE. Is that how it supposed to be? I have to turn hotspot off and on after every phone call to get LTE back? Or is that T-Mobile not being happy (I have not used the 3gb hotspot limit on my unlimited data plan)
Thanks
Hi, first off a major thanks to OP for posting an excellent tutorial on how to do this. I was really hoping to get tethering enabled on my grandfather unlimited data plan before vacation and am so excited to not have to pay $15 a day for WiFi.
I've been having a lot of lag with the phone lately. Its very slow to respond to typing, switching apps, and even waking and putting to sleep takes 5-10 seconds longer than normal. Any suggestions? I followed all of the directions to the letter and aside from this massive amount of lag, everything is perfect.

Hey Nikon,
Hopefully someone with a little more knowledge on the subject can help out but here are my thoughts.
1. My s2 always got hot while tethering for long periods of time and my s5 seems to do the same as well.
This is normal and caused by the 4G antenna and WiFi antenna running simultaneously.
2. Perhaps IPv6 is not working but IPv4 is? I'm seeing the same thing on my AT&T connection.
3. I never had this issue. You might want to double check your APN settings, it could be a t-mobile thing but I really don't think they're targeting people who tether, it sounds more like the connection can't re-establish after connecting to a phone call.

Hey RSCTurner20,
I haven't notice any lag since doing this, does the lag go away if you turn off the X Tether Module and reboot?
edit: most likely cause and a quick fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784945
that's right - if you get a call or access phone settings while client is connected phone cannot re-establish lte connection.
I know when you get a call (hotspot off) on Nexus 5 it takes anywhere from 15 seconds to up to 5 minutes to get lte back
Is there a way to force phone to refresh frequencies?
Hi,
I can't get the Hot Spot to work on this phone. I enable the Hot Spot and setup all the requirements to activate it. The other phone or tablet connect to it but there is no internet going through. I try resetting the networks, APN, and anything that related to internet are all reset, but still not connection on any phone that connect to my.
Has anyone have the same issue on this phone?

Try with a different sim card if you have it. Some operators don't allow tethering afaik.
To cancel out this possibility & the issue being a device specific one- try the same sim in a different phone & check if you're getting connectivity via hotspot

Did it stick? If you come back to APN settings is it still there? If not you might have not saved the profile
The setting stick or was there after I added it, but still no working Hotspot. I know it the phone because it work fine on my other phone with no issue..
Can you post pictures of all your APN setting..I want to copy everything to make it the same. Also want firmware and muie are you on?
