Well, I had tried to update PRL and Profile, checked the DB several times, checked the apn settings xml file, etc. Went through device activation several times, etc. PRL and Profile did nothing whenever I'd click on them. Then I remembered that I had frozen system update with TIBU because I was tired of getting nagged to update. Once I unfroze it I was able to update the profile and prl and my LTE data back.

I have used the Galaxy Tools app on my Note 3 and found it mostly working but would drop the connection periodically. Maybe I'll give it another go.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] leedawg:
So I was just looking over my Sprint bill and noticed some usage in red which I have not seen before. I suspect it is the tethering app. I have attached a screen shot of my usage in my bill do any of you guys have this on yours? I have not called to ask what it is since it says 0 dollars. Otherwise the native hot-spot works great. I do miss the Android wifi tether app that is what I used on my note 2 and I think why I never saw this before on my bill.

I'm having an issue with hotspot not being able to connect more than one device at a time. (i.e Amazon fireTV and PC/laptop). If i disconnect one then the other can log on but not both at the same time.

I used the galaxy tool method to enable hotspot. Can anyone confirm if you are able to connect with multiple devices? Will sqleditor method work better instead?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] sabroso2210:
Open advance options in hotspot and you see conections change to 7

Im trying to open the data folder and it keeps telling me i dont have root access but i am rooted. I have super user and binary is updated. I can run root checker and it will tell me im rooted
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jhill110:
Make sure the root explorer you are using is set to root.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] sand1303:
I was using the sqlite app suggested. I will use something like root explorer and give it another shot
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] sand1303:
i guess it was because i was using the free version. i tried to go to the location using root explorer and when i try to open it it will go to market and want me to buy the 3$ version.

what needs to be done to get the native hotspot working. i went to samsung apps and downloaded the portable wifi hotspot but it tells me i am not subscribed for hotspot and won't let me use it. if i click the link there is nothing there

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] stanglifemike:
That's weird, GalaxyTools worked perfectly on mine(stock rooted) without the need for anything else.

You probably have Wanam installed, and it has an option to disable tether provisioning. I don't remember exactly where it's located, but I saw it when looking for something else. I'll look for it an let ya know where it is.

EDIT : There's a thread in the Themes and Apps section discussing the same thing. Some might find help there as well

There's no need for what you're doing. Just use GalaxyTools app and be done with it.

Or just use GalaxyTools...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] sand1303:
it is weird. becase all i did was root mine using the odin method with cf auto root and flash the twrp. i haven't changed anything else and when i get the galaxy tools to open and click enable hot spot it seems like it is doing its thing and rebooting but it still won't let me get going with it. i still get the error saying i am not subscribed to it. any other ideas?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Kudzus:
Uncheck auto reboot then check enable hot spot.

Then reboot the phone yourself

The phone is rebooting before the hot spot can take effect.

He has a update to Galaxy Tools that adds 2 Seconds to the auto reboot that fixes this problem.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] sand1303:
Thanks. That seems to have done the trick i havent tried to connect with anything but it doesnt give me the error anymore

I have the paid version of the SQLite editor because the free version wouldn't modify the database that put all the quick buttons on the notification panel. the ,dun addition worked for me on my note 4.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] tx_dbs_tx:
Ok i want to explain why editing the settings.db file (which is what Galaxy Tools does) is not a permanent let alone stable method of enabling the native hotspot feature. Each time the Note 4 boots and also when the phone performs a prl /profile update it resets the settings.db file and disables the feature. If you notice on each boot of the phone it does a system update "check". This may not revert the mod but sooner or later you will lose the mod and have to do it over again and again and again. Its just a temporary way to enable ituntil your phone does an update then it gets reset. So there's this method or flashing one of my permanent solutions in my rom thread. So there really shouldn't be any wonder why people lose this mod after a reboot or update wether its user initiated or automatically done by the network. I just wanted to point this out so people understand how this method works vs other smali method which is "hard coded" and permanent.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] sand1303:
I had to reset my phone and i cant remember where i got the galaxy tools app. Can anyone throw up a link. The one in this thread is a dud
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Kudzus:
Check your pm
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] nsantiago:
Also works on S5 sport, S5 and Note 4. Im using this method now. More easy and less harmful
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Kudzus:
Ok, I used Galaxy Tools to enable HotSpot. I then used SQLite to check the two files you mention and both have the ,dun extension. Am I correct in assuming that Galaxy dose this now instead of settings.db ?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Yay 4 Juggs:
looking in the editor i do not have those last 2 lines anywhere as listed...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] tx_dbs_tx:
Galaxy Tools adds the "dial up networking" entry into settings.db file. Its a perfectly safe way of enabling the hotspot, its just not permanent and can and will be overwritten by a system update. You can simply keep doing the hotspot mod via Galaxy Tools each time it gets disabled by the network. I prefer the modified jar file method as you can just flash and forget about it.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] SkidMarx:
Hard coded and permanent or Galaxy Tools...

When you say "smali method" what does that mean or refer to?

I would like to hard code the mod so I don't have to go back into the Galaxy Tools and reset anything.

Is this smali method adding the word "dun" to the files listed in the first post or another method?

Aslo, you had said you prefer the modified jar file method in another post. Is that another method?

Thanks for the help, much appreciated!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] tx_dbs_tx:
Since you're asking this question I have to assume it's above your knowledge and therefore not something you want to dive into until you learn what smali is and the other things needed to do the mod yourself. It's not as simple as entering "dun" in the .db file. I would suggest that you download the hotspot mod zip file for whichever os build you're on (either NIE or NK2) and just flash it and be done. I have them in my rom thread undewr mods and I think somebody else made a flashable hotspot mod in a different thread for NIE. Make sure you flash the right one for your rom because I made them for NK2 odexed and deodexed. Don't forget to perss the Thanks button. ;)

Edit: You might want to consider flashing one of several custom stock roms that have hotspot mod already enabled. Just a thought.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] tx_dbs_tx:
Several months ago I tried to find Galaxy Tools in the Play Store but even after searching vigorously it would not show up. I finally was able to find it elsewhere outside of the Play Store. I wonder why it was removed? I wonder if [MENTION=319373]idone[/MENTION] removed it or if it was google who removed it? I do have it but I don't want to upload it unless given the go ahead by [MENTION=319373]idone[/MENTION] since it's his app and he may not want to support it anymore.

Sorry about Play Store, got a developer ban.

GT is still being worked on in my spare time. Current released version is 3.0.2
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] idone:
The subscription check is in telephony.db but settings.db does store some of the hotspot settings and some more are stored in wifiap.conf.

Activation persists through ota updates, odin flashes, etc. The only thing that will remove it is HFA/##scrtn#, Update Profile(in settings), or a wipe of /data.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] tx_dbs_tx:
Good info. thanks. When I used your app a while back to do the hotspot mod, it would get undone upon reboots, updates, etc. No pun intended. LOL! It just seems to me that the .db files can be overwritten by the system thus reverting the mod while changing the smali it a more hard coded method that can't be overwritten by the system having those permissions.

But in any case I have seen the hostpot stop working after a while and only a reboot will restore its ability to connect to the netwok. Simply turning hotspot off then back on will not make it work again. The connection will just slow to a crawl and/or stop working all-together. I think it's a network switch that is killing it occasionally. That's how it seems to me. No heavy usage, just normal internet browsing and downloading of some files up to 1gb.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] idone:
Ya those are some odd symptoms, it will disconnect when data drops and many times when switching towers, but if it is disabling on reboot the phone might be stuck in HFA(many have had phones with "Preparing Network" notification upon every reboot, nothing to do with my app just a weird bug in the phones) and also if auto update box is checked.

As far as data usage though, only roaming data is audited. I don't use as much as I was in the beginning but still use over 100gb a month on average.

I do agree that patched bins are the way to go for custom roms, less steps for the end user. "Just works" is always nice.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] tx_dbs_tx:
WOW! over 100GB?! I feel so much better knowing that the Sprint police will be knocking on your door long before that take notice of my measley little 11GB per month! HaHa!!!

I still think you app has been an awesome utility that does exactly what it's supposed to do and has made a LOT of people very happy and excited by being able to do the mods & csc enabling. So why is it no longer in the play store and do you allow for the sharing of you app outside of the play store such as here at XDA?

Heres an old screen, and I mean unlimited is unlimited right? I don't see how they could complain. http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.co....png?key=qWS2f0Z2BKGfOM-_eT948w&ts=1422943276

It's gone from play store because I didn't know they had a 3 strikes and "you're out!" rule. Got a developer ban so they took my apps down. GT wasn't the problem it was another app I was trying to upload.

Ya I'm alright with it being shared around with link to the original thread and a @ mention(so I can see it), I still get emails regularly from an earlier version that had a request support button(no idea where ppl are grabbing an old version from).....

There hasn't yet been as app that I have wanted, which was pulled from the Play store, that hasn't been findable on Aptoid. Yeah, there is some risk using that app store, but if you're careful, you can find that which is no longer on Google Play.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jparks29:
I believe that's a bug in the system. Your unlimited plan has a 0KB limit, IOTW, none. However the system sees usage, so 1KB>0KB so it flags it as overage.

I take that back. It was the editor I used SQLite Editor by Weavebytes and it only saw one of the files , after i clicked on data. After making the edit it hosed my mobile data connection.

Connect to wifi and do these steps to get your data back.

- Select ##SCRTN# Menu

Did you use SQLite Editor by Weavebytes by any chance? That one hosed me as well. I used SQLite Editor by speed software and that one worked great.

I assume this thread is for manually editing your settings.db to temp enable mobile hotspot. However if you're looking for the hard coded hotspot enabler then look for a new flashable hotspot mod for OF5 soon. I'll have it in my rom thread soon.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] twynn:
Use sqlite to edit "carrier" lines 17 and 20 "default,mms" to "default,mms,dun" if you are running OF5 stock rooted. Reboot that'll do it.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] scavanger:
do not edit lines 17 & 20, YOU will will break something.

YOU MUST BUY THE SQLITE EDITOR BY "SPEED SOFTWARE" BECAUSE THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH ANY OTHER SQLITE EDITOR. IT'S $2.99 ON GOOGLE PLAY.

once in the app click

FILES

DATA (scroll down to find)

COM.ANDROID.PROVIDERS.TELEPHONY (scroll down to find)

DATABASES

TELEPHONY.DB

CARRIERS

then highlight the last two lines one at a time and each time click edit (the pen at the top)

scroll down to where is says "type",

ADD ,dun to default,mms. looks like this default,mms,dun

click save

after doing both lines don't forget to reboot your phone or it won't work.

This mod is amazing, it takes 30 seconds to complete and doesn't require you to flash, the downside is that you have to pay for the app for it to work. the app is 2.99 on google play. this does not work with any other app i've tried every sqlite editor on the play store it only works with one. i think it's a monopoly lol.... anywho if you try to do this mod without the paid app, say goodbye to your data and network.

LASTLY, i have no idea what the guy before me is talking about, do not edit lines 17 and 20 AT ALL, edit the very last two lines as per the original instructions in the first post. you'll be okay. works like a charm.

What the guy above you is talking about is that your guide didn't work on my note 4 so I looked around for the isp and added, dun there. It worked. I'm running stock OF5 rooted. Maybe my phone is different but that's my experience. If it works for someone else great if if your way works great. The object is to get the hot spot.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] twynn:

So before Lollipop I was able to use go power master to automatically turn off my data connection after the screen was off for "x" amount of time. It worked flawlessly and helped me extend battery life. After updating to Lollipop it no longer works. The app itself will open and other features work as normal but I can no longer turn off my data. I am gonna assume it has something to do with the code in Lollipop but either way I am wondering if anyone knows of an alternative app that will do the trick. I have been searching the play store and have found apps that promise to do what I want it none have. Any input would be greatly appreciated as this feature let me greatly extend battery life.
