Still trying to figure mine out. Just one question. Under EHRPD and LTE scroll down to Turn APN on/off. What does everyone's say? Mine is locked in the on position. I think I may have changed this setting in another spot but can't seem to find it again.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] scottegos2:
FWIW this hack, while it still works great for me on one of my Sprint S6 phones, is no longer possible on the other one, which I updated to Marshmallow (Android v6.0.1) yesterday. They've removed the APN settings from the ##data# menu.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] dvtmg704:

THIS IS NOT WORKING ANYMORE ON Sprint S6 Marshmallow. after i updated to marshmallow the apn settings is gone. i went in there with my msl and couldnt find it. Someone out there please help to make hotspot work again.

---------- Post added 12-03-2016 at 12:12 AM ---------- Previous post was 11-03-2016 at 11:54 PM ----------

is the apn setting still there for s7?? they removed it on MM S6
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Perfectitalian:
Just a question?

Is it possible they moved the APN settings? Or when people are downloading the update they should turn off their hack? Just a few things to try. Please lmk as its my only way of connecting to the Internet, and since we are paying for unlimited data it would be nice to know before we accept the update as we all know we can't ignore it forever as sprint eventually forces us to accept it whether us users agree with it or not! Maybe someone who's able to accept it with the hack and without could let us dependant users know we would be more than grateful so we don't lose the only advantage we have is to be able to use our unlimited data which is something we all are paying for anyway!! PLEASE LMK AS I HAVE TO GET MY SUPPLEMENT ORDER IN EARLY TODAY!!?? Thanks ahead of time!!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] dvtmg704:
Idk if they have moved it but if they did the only way to get hotspot would be to root it when root is available
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] shreishi:
Found something for the s6 edge

Found this that when I hit settings>Mobile Networks>Access point names, a list of the APN options pop up, but am not able to edit anything.

Samsung Galaxy 6, SERO plan, unrooted phone, PDANet w/FoxFi.

This absolutely works, even on my Kindle Fire. I can FINALLY download books again, and my wi-fi times for up and download are actually FASTER than USB root. (That might just be a coincidence.) I'm in shock. It took me five minutes to get my MSL in Sprint Chat. I have *never* been able to get Sprint's hotspot to work, and I've been using PDANet for nearly eight years. Thank you so much, because I nearly wrecked my phone on a faulty root.

I updated my Note 4 with Hotspot trick done previously on 5.1.1 and it kept the hotspot after 6.0 update. I tried the hotspot still working. The only problem is if you loose the setting the line where you add ,dun is not accessible anymore, is grey out.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] chinonj908:
I just updated my sprint Galaxy Note 4 from Sprint from lollipop to marshmellow ver. smn910p, i had previously done the hotspot trick when I was on 5.1.1, after upgrading to 6.0.0 it kept the hotspot feature turned on and available in my settings as i am on marshmallow 6.0 update. so what I did was I went back I entered my ## and my MSL number and I lost the line where you are able to add , dun.you cannot edit that feature anymore it is gray out. So I advise you to turn on the hotspot trick before upgrading after you upgrade it should still be available
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] ALmAL408:
Update PRL and Profile on Marshmallow Note 4

I noticed on my Sprint Note 4 (Android 5.1.1), whenever Update PRL and Update Profile were run, ",dun" was removed from the APN settings.

If Update PRL and Update Profile were run on Marshmallow Note 4 (Android 6.0.1), will the tether stop working?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] futureoftomorrow:
do not update to 6.0

if you modified the apn file on your phone you will not be able access, sprint locked those settings
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] chinonj908:
Your best option is to do the hotspot trick and then update.. at least you know after the update you are still going to have hotspot I'm sure in a couple weeks there's going to be another way to modify it just in case it gets turned off that's just my opinion
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] grimesfamily1:
It's to late now, I already updated my galaxy s6 to marshmallow & lost my hotspot, but for future references what is the hotspot trick

---------- Post added at 03:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 AM ----------

Does anyone think there will be a new way to get the hotspot without having to root our phones?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Killasquad:
I think what happened was after I updated to marshmallow it automatically did a prl and profile update. As far as I know whenever you do profile or prl update it erases the " dun" in apn settings. Its probably safe to go marshmallow but never update prl or profile afterwards.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Costas86:
My hotspot still works after the marshmallow update.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] electronicsdude:
Can someone please point me to instructions for blocking PRL and / or Profile updates? Tried searching and came up with nothing... TIA!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] ALmAL408:
I'm worried if Sprint sends Updates PRL/Profile (Sprint Note 4 Marshmallow), will if it will wipe out the "dun" settings, breaking the tether? There would be no way to get to the apn settings to make the changes in Marshmallow.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] move c:\old c:\new:
What about selecting the apn, menu and then discard the apn setting. Could you then create a new one mirrored of the original and add the dun code?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] intlschizo:
Just got my wifi wiped out with the update. Unbelievable.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] btb601:
Why js everyone talking about updating the PRL will wipe out the "dun" settings for the hotspot? I do that all the time and it does not reset nothing running 5.1.1. Now updating the profile will take it out in a heartbeat.

I won't update until there is a way to continue to use the hotspot on a stock phone
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] bigboose1234:
Did anyone try the trick where when restarting the phone hurrying up and setting the hotspot on before the phone fully loads. if you have marshmallow let me know if this trick works if your PRL updated got to be fast though to turn it on
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Geezio:
Well my wife's S6 got the update and it killed the hotspot but I can confirm this trick works just have to be patient might take a couple of tries because you have to be quick and it's hard to be quick on the system that really lags!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] kephaisrock:
Which trick are you referring to?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] joeythug:
can see the apn setting in edit mode

does anyone know why the apn setting are move or hidden and how to unhide them or find them
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] kephaisrock:
Hey guys, I've been trying to crack this code the last couple of days. Here's what I have so far. I have a Note 4 and a Note 5. I didn't have the Note 4 active anymore so I figured I would upgrade to Marshmallow on that device and try to mess with it. I saw that APN settings were invisible. I travel a lot and have a sim for another country. I put that sim in and, though I wasn't able to view current APN settings, I was able to add new ones. So I copied all APN settings from my Note 5. Then I activated the Note 4. I left the foreign sim in and was able to get hotspot working though only in 3G (I think because the foreign sim won't get LTE over Sprint's network here). Anyway, when I put the Sprint sim back, I can turn the hotspot on for a few secs but it reverts back to the default Sprint APN settings - which turns it off again. With the foreign sim 3G hotspot works flawlessly every time. When I put the Sprint sim back in I can now view the different APN profiles but I still can't edit them. Even the new ones I created can be opened and viewed but I can't edit. My question is, is there anyway to change the priority of APN profiles? I can't seem to delete the default settings but is there a way I can trick my phone into choosing the APN settings I added? I know this doesn't help everyone but I am hoping that this can at least help others to figure out a way to solve this for everyone.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Geezio:
Sorry I should have been more clear it's the trick where you restart the phone and go to the settings then go to hotspot settings and turn it in as fast as you can!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] SpasilliumNexus:
That "trick" on the N4 MM update turns itself back off after a minute or so of rebooting and enabling tether, followed by prompting you to subscribe to it.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Geezio:
Well it works fine for me !just trying to help [emoji1308]out!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] chinonj908:
Just a quick update I have a Sprint Galaxy Note 4 smn910p. I updated to marshmallow 6.0 on Saturday it took two days for me to receive a PRL profile update I had to update my phone today because I lost all data and connection this morning. after the updates I lost my hotspot tethering I guess Sprint killed the hotspot tethering option on marshmallow stay on lollipop
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] 94SierraGT:
Question about a new activation. Im ordering another phone that is on 5.1 from Sprint in the mail. When i activate it how do i keep it from automatically updating to 6.0? It is a note 5 which i currentley have and have not updated yet.

Oh also, someone mentioned awhile back about getting the msl code when ordering a new phone from sprint in the mail. Could someone elaborate. Thank you.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Plonko:
When I ordered online, I received an email with an "activation code". This 6 digit number is actually your MSL.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] tremartin06:
Thanks Geezio!! Works for me too....sorta. Initially, it turned off. Then I retried and immediately opened LAN settings just for kicks. I was using the Hotspot for about 2 hrs until I received a phone call and got kicked off. I then had to restart my phone and do the process again and it worked. I would recommend 2 things: 1) forward calls to your phone to another number as this keeps u from getting knocked off when a call comes thru 2) if u get kicked off after opening LAN settings, immediately try it again....turn on Hotspot and open LAN settings WHILE it is turning on.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Juxtapose_42:
Was a fix for this ever found? I am experiencing this same issue and have scoured the length and breadth of the internet, but this is the only place where I have found someone else sharing my struggle. I'm going crazy trying to figure out how to resolve this - my cell plan supports hotspots / tethering, but my phone just shuts mobile data off as soon as I turn on either one.

Forget about my S6 its unlocked and will be sold. I just got the S7 edge and last night i got an update .It is now running on latest build G935PVPU2APC5. Today i got my Msl , went in there and bam the "Apn Type" is grayed out and cannot edit.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] dvtmg704:
U will have to root when it comes out
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Killasquad:
Just wanna share that my hotspot on s7 edge running latest build (G935PVPU2APC5) is working. Basically what you need to do is reboot your fone and then rush to your setting to switch hotspot on. It didn't tell me that I don't have a subscription. I siggest set up your SSID and password first.It might take couple try but I got mine on second try.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] CarolinaPride:
Thanks for the reboot tip! Worked perfectly on my Note 5. So far it looks like rebooting phone is the only way to actually turn hotspot back on, after you turn it off, and want to use it again.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] trimyantidrug01:
for those saying apn is blocked out if you do the ##data# step. i was able to find if you go to settings- more networks- mobile networks - access point names. you can get to the two lines you need to edit for sprint note 4 on the marshmallow update. i tested it today by removing the dun from the two lines and adding it back in and it works. it makes the edit easier cause appears you don't need the MSL to do it anymore. plus tested it on my wife's note 5 and the same was true, and she has knox still intact on her phone so should work for everyone.

Cheers
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] CarolinaPride:
I followed your steps, and it's still blocked out. I'm using a Note 5. Rebooting, and quickly turning hotspot on is the only way I can get it to work.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] alex94648:
is it possible to make this work with Galaxy S6 with Marshmellow. I just upgraded today (and regretting it), and need step by step to get this working again. The resetting of the phone and turning on hotspot does not work for me. It turns on and after a minute, getting a message indicating I do not subscribe to this service. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks.. and stupid question, if folks with S7 came make this work (and I assume they have Marshmellow as well), why would it not work for the S6?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] kephaisrock:
I followed your steps on the Note 4 and can see the APNs but it is still greyed out for me. I can't edit anything nor open an APN. How are you getting in?

For those of you on 6.0.1... First of all, GT is reading my MSL on stock MM. So, if for no other reason, might not be a bad idea to install Galaxy Tools and write you MSL down. Second thing, TX posted his deodexed TW 6.0.1 ROM and there is a Hotspot zip on the second post there for odexed or deodexed. On his 5.1.1 ROM's he has the same. Just an FYI

So I am now updated to Marshmallow 6.0.1 and this method seems to no longer work. Has anyone come up with a method to do this again with or without the MSL on 6.0.1? I still have my MSL. Using Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5. Thanks again in advance!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] redram38:
Mine is still working after the update however it seems to disconnect after about an hour or so. The hotspot does not disconnect the wireless connection to my device disconnects. I went into the APN settings to check and the dun is still there. The only thing different is now it does not let you edit things.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] flashred:
I am adding to this thread, I have a Note 4 On Sprint. After taking the system update to Android 6.0.1 (N910PVPU4DPC1), I was just fine using my Hotspot when editing the APN settings using the method mentioned in this thread. About a week later, today I am no longer able to utilize the hotspot feature. As others have mentioned in this tread, when editing the APN settings the "APN type" is greyed out and not editable.

Previously I have noticed that whenever I were to manually do a "Update Profile" under "System Update" in settings that the APN settings would be blown out. In the past, I would just go in and re-edit them and be on my way with using the Hotspot feature again. This time, I cannot.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] The Amorphist:
Latest update breaks this method on the Sprint S7, btw .
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] linhnd2000:
I'm on the exact same boat. APN changed back to stock after PRL and profile update. all options greyed out for editting except for just the name of the APN, I think.

Anyone found workaround or do we have to root now?
