So my hot spot is working, where im living theres only 3g here so its slow anyways but when I pair my laptop to my phone, my computer doesn't have any internet connectivity? would this be more of an issue with my slow ass phone on my note 4 since sprint service out here is brutal or is it a connection issue? I set everything up and it say hotspot is working but nothing I can check it with. Any advise would be appreciated:good:
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Glitterloveglamour:
works flawlessly on sprint s6 edge!

got my msl through chat, took about 1 minute to get told them I was having lte problems and my phone was asking for it.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] xtreemgreen:
I spent more time waiting for someone on the chat then it did to get the number... I just got this note4 yesterday. I entered the info, rebooted and it worked..
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] abbreinholt:
I know this is an old message, but I just got my MSL pretty easily through the chat window. They refused at first saying that my phone wasn't paid in full yet or I was on contract. I then told them I needed the MSL because the LTE was having issues and I needed to adjust the DNS settings, if I was unable to get the MSL, I would be taking the phone back and canceling the line. The next message from the rep was the MSL number. See the transcript below for an idea on what you need to say.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] BoomerEvo:
I tried to go through sprint online chat, they said to call support.

Called support, told them I need it due to data/GPS issues, and they shot me down :(
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Itchiee:
Is this still working after the 5/21 update?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] BigMosley:
^ I would also like to know this before taking the OTA.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Itchiee:
- Is this still working after the 5/21 update?

It seems to be working... I just tried for a few minutes without issue.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] thatboiken:
Great hack guys works fully took less than 5 minutes to get code from sprint chat
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] MasterTentacles:
I'm downloading the update now. After it finishes, I'm going to test if it still works, and if I can still access/edit my APN settings.

I'll update the OP once I know for sure.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] BigMosley:
I know others have confirmed but I am also confirming this does work on the new OTA, life is good!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] metarojo78:
Is this the G925PVPU1AOE2 update for the edge?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] elpindian:
Yes it is
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] BigMosley:
Has anyone else's just randomly stopped working? I recently changed both to ,dun after the latest update (last Friday) and it worked perfectly now I went to turn on hotspot and it said I was unsubscribed. I went and added ,dun again and it worked no problem, just curious as to why randomly it doesn't work after time?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] theoner1:
Did you update your profile? Doing that will set you back to default
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] BigMosley:
That probably did it, thanks for the heads up.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] IvIercenary:
I dont seem to have the "APN2 EHRPD internet" and "APN2 LTE internet" options, do i have to create them?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] BigMosley:
No.... are you sure your looking in the right place?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] IvIercenary:
this is my menu for ##3282#
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] BigMosley:
I have no idea.... I am on the Stock Sprint Galaxy Note 4.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] BubZX:
Is there a msl reader anywhere for rooted that will work or is sprint the only option as of now? I've tried a few from the play store with no luck. I use to have one on an old sd card but wiped the card to put in a tablet.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] scott_0:
worked for me! thanks master tentacles

the Sprint rep I talked to via chat didn't want to give it to me, I pressed a bit and it seemed as if she actually maybe didn't know how to get the MSL, she told me initially the policy had changed, she then said "I did it, here it is the number"
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] lanypr:
In order to get the MSL what I did was to activate an old phone in the same ine I had the Note 4 then switch back to the Note 4 after 20 mins and when you go through the activation process online at the end of the activation it will give you the MSL/SPC code in case the automatic activation process doesn't work. It will be on the last page when you go throught the process online.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] texasrejects91:
I did all of that and didnt work after i finished it took me to back and said update prl....was it cuz of that....im sprint note 4 5.0.1 rooted.....i even restarted my fone and nothing plz help guy
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] trance728:
Has anyone else had their hotspot stop working? It worked when I first did the change but now when I try to start the hotspot it tells me it can't connect and the I might not have a hotspot subscription on my account. I went back in and the settings are still the way this thread describes and I have not done any updates, still at 5.0.1
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] BigMosley:
Read 1 page back.....

WORKS GREAT took all of 1 min to have it work useing it now

I'm on sprint galaxy s6 edge with software version G925PVPU1AOE2 and it works perfectly. :D
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] SkiffyPup:
Easy & Works Like a Charm

Have an S6 OE2 running Lollipop like most others. The girl at the Sprint store told me I could tether. When I found out several weeks later that would be 50 bucks more, you can believe I was very upset. Almost took my plan over to T-Mobile just on principle, I don't even care if I would then have to take the phone off lease and pay retail immediately.

Thank you so much for the fix! I really did not want to root or flash. I like to play with my tech, but c'mon.

Absolutely no resistance from Sprint Chat. I asked, used the "Developer" word in my subject, and they gave it to me.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] sonicskilz:
Confirmed -- Works on OE1!

Confirmed, this works like a charm with the OE1 update!

I can't believe all I needed to do all this time didn't even involve rooting! I tripped my Knox counter for nothing, and soft-bricked my phone yesterday by accidentally installing a ROM not compatible with OE1. :rolleyes::eek:

Anyhow, I'm just really glad I have a working phone again today, and finally have unlimited free WiFi!!! :D So nice of Sprint to hand over that MSL so readily. ;) All I had to do was pay the balance on my phone first. :fingers-crossed:
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] src2004:
So I tried it on my s6 with sprint and it's a no go. I have the msl can anyone give me some tips?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] scott_0:
are you saving each time before exiting?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] src2004:
Yeah, then after that I rebooted my phone. I checked after it rebooted it saved the changes
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] anderd:
same problem here... I can edit them, save each time before going to next, reboot, and still gives the error failing and asking me to buy a plan.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Zer0efforts:
I tried this on my updated GS5 active. It was working for the first time I changed the settings. This most recent time I tried it, I was getting the subscription popup again.

I investigated the settings and seems like they didn't "stick"...perhaps when a reboot takes place the settings reset to default? When I changed the APN settings again and tried activating the hotspot there wasn't any problem at all.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] alwayzknow:
How can I get my MSL?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] freemeech:
Came back to the Note4 and Sprint after toying with ATT for a few months. 2 days in Sprint chat asked for MSL. No issues. Yay!!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jbadboy2007:
With the galaxy s1,s3,s4,s5 there was always a flashable hotspot mod. Im just curious to why there is not one for this device?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] KennyG123:
If I had to guess it is because no one made it. There is one for KitKat though.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] mudtruck87:
This is for non rooted devices on lollipop. To flash you need root and a recovery. This is a very very simple process and your device stays completely stock. I've accepted every update, followed the instructions in the OP and hotspot gets enabled.

Hope this answered the question. Enjoy!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jbadboy2007:
I wasnt sure if it was because the devices are that different or like you said just no one made it.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] wildta:
I have an non-rooted Sprint Note 4 that used to have the mobile hotspot / tethering feature in Settings. I just tried to find it in my settings but it seems to have disappeared. Anyone know if this is related to the latest Android update and Sprint hiding this feature from users unless they purchase the mobile hotspot data package?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] BigMosley:
I believe this method slows down the Sprint Spark Band 41 speeds. Can someone else who is in a Spark area run a few speed tests before and after with this method applied and not applied? Looking to test my theory. Thanks.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] alwayslearner11:
Did the latest update still allow this to work?

Description of Enhancements/Fixes

N910PVPU3BOF5	07/06/2015

Reactivation Lock updates
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] zdragon:
This happened to me after a factory reset with a non-rooted phone. Neither Sprint nor Samsung could figure out why it happened. Sprint replaced the phone with another one. Haven't had the issue again.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] MasterTentacles:
This shouldn't have any effect what so ever on network speed or performance. This has nothing to do with Sprint's end of things. All the APN does it tell the device how to access the netwaork, and what features it has access to. The APN change just adds the "dun" tag to the APN, telling the Hotspot feature in settings that it is enabled. It has no effect on what bands you can access, or the speeds you get through them. Those all come down to network quality, congestion, and in some cases carrier throttling or proxies. In fact, the network can't even SEE your APN settings, that's all device dependant.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] BigMosley:
Good info! Thanks.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] kephaisrock:
Yes, it still works but you have to redo all of the steps. The only problem I'm having after OF5 is that wifi keeps trying to turn itself on and I don't know how to stop it from doing that anymore. That makes it so every 5 minutes or so with the hotspot on, you get a notification saying that turning on wifi will turn off your hotspot. Annoying, but hotspot still works.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] theoner1:
Yes, my WiFi is acting the same way as yours after updating to OF5, keeping turning itself on in the background. There's no way around this, so annoying. I think it's draining my battery too.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jake0125:
Hello,

Just to confirm this will not add any charges, etc to my bill correct? I am still on the sero plan so data is unlimited. I have my MLS in hand via Chat on Sprint.com and looking to give this a try!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] kephaisrock:
I've been using it for months and no extra charges here.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jake0125:
Good to hear. Thanks for the confirmation. Its working well for me. Surprising its that easy. I am also on the OF5 update. I am a little disappointing in my network speeds though. Speed test on the tethered device is only about 5 mbps up and down. I was getting 25+mbps down on my s3. Sparkle isn't what its advertised to be at all! And that's with almost all the signal bars lit.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] SuperZu:

I don't see any APN settings when I get into the ##DATA# menu. All I see is:

EVDO

Advanced

Direct Connect

LTE

I'm on an HTC One M8 with Lolipop 5.0.2

After fighting to get my MSI in Sprint chat, it seems a waste not to be able to use it. :D
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] cozmohoot:
Does it still give msl when swapping online?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] RonMac:
Quick online chat with sprint rep and got MSL, followed directions in OP and VIOLA, instant WiFi Hotspot. Network speeds through PC showed pretty standard speeds (18 down and 6 up).

Thanks OP, for getting this info out there.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] alwayslearner11:
As of a couple months ago when I swapped last, I did receive the "thank you for activating" email from Sprint with the MSL.

Chat seems to work well, or you could call (though it may take a couple times to get the right rep willing to hand it out)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] testshoot:
Confirmed still working
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] cozmohoot:
The msl is given online when you change devices . They call it the activation code which you may need.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] shreishi:
can i possibly get charged for this

Just want to make sure sprint will not charge me.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] bmckinney212:

Note 4 native after last update as of 07-23-2015

still works i just did it today...go online and start a live chat say that you have tried everything to fix your gps, lte and the general healthiness of your phone and they will give it to you. i told them that and that i was advised to get in contact by a sprint rep from a store...np on the live chat but when i tried over the phone she was not allowing it....eventually on the live chat it will work just keep trying. someone will either be nice enough to give it to you or not knowledgeable enough to not know better. lol.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Geezio:
I just straight out asked no questions asked they just gave it to me!No bull and no lies!...Just sied i would like my MSL please and boom!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] rhramalla:
Just that easy!

I chatted online with a rep and just stated that I need to reset my GPS and he gave it to me no questions asked. :)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] rhramalla:
Please help

I was getting an error: no wireless data connection, then offered to purchase a hotspot plan from sprint. The issue was that im on 3g. Sprint still has very poor 4g reception in my area and my network was set to auotomatic so once im off 4g i would lose my hotspot. I set my network mode to 4g lte only and hotspot works when i have 4g reception.

Confirming this still works. Thank you so much.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] driike:
Can only use the usb tether. Will not connect my laptop to wifi or bluetooth, just says limited connectivity. unisntalled/reinstalled the samsung drivers, all laptop drivers are up to date. Stopped working when OE1 rolled out, but never updated to that, and took the plunge OF5 as it was there when i took my phone in for the 8th time about my crappy service while my wife gets full spark on her aquos :( the laptop was win 8, now its 10 and still no luck, only the usb tethering is working
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] MasterTentacles:
Do you have another wifi device you can test on, to make sure there isn't some issue with wireless drivers on your machine?

And, if possible, could you post a screenshot of your edited APN settings to make sure everything is working well?

I originally found this work around when messing with USB tethering. I was curious as to why I could USB tether, but Hotspot was disabled. I noticed I could turn on Hotspot while USB tethered, but it did not work. That got me poking around, and I noticed the APN settings. But long story short, Hotspot will turn on while USB tethered, but will not work. Try turning on Hotspot without the phone plugged into any computer.

I always run the latest update, and I'm still able to use this no problem, even on OF5.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] logikzzz:
Still works 5.1.1
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Brock7089:
Recently updated Sprint S6 Edge to v 5.1.1, had to re-enter dialer menu and edit APN settings again because update reset to turn off hotspot, but as I now have msl, easy-peasy and all working again.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] dh321:
Clearly I'm the unlucky one here...I've never been able to get this to work. I'm running 5.0.1 Rom Name Vision x N4 and all I get after a few seconds is the prompt that I'm not authorized to have hotspot and do I wish to see my billing options. Maybe user error(of course), but I've followed all the instructions exactly.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] MasterTentacles:
As stated in the original post, this trick is aimed at stock, unrooted devices. You're running a custom rom, so I have no way of knowing what changes might have been made to it. You might be better with one of the flashable zip mods.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] dh321:
Thanks MT, I must have missed that point. Makes sense. I'm trying to get back to stock, but unable to find yesterday's update.

Regards,

DH
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] redram38:
I had to swap phones because I dropped mine and cracked the screen. Being on OE1 and not being able to install Roms on the replacement, I called Sprint and told them I had my MSL on my other phone and needed it for the new one. I told them I have issues with GPS a lot where I live. After being put on hold a couple of times and explaining to the rep that I did not need the ##3282# code that I need my 6 digit code it ask for he came back and said here is what you need and promptly gave it to me. I then changed the settings, then the phone updated and Hot spot stopped working. I went in to redo the settings but they were still set how I changed them. I went ahead and went through the steps anyway and it worked, then the phone updated to 5.1.1 and same thing. Is the setting supposed to be the same after the update and I just go through the steps anyway. It seems to work now. I only root the phone because I need the Hot spot so if this sticks I will keep the phone stock.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] tx_dbs_tx:
Yes, just redo the edits and it will work again. Just know that each time the network pushes a prl or profile update to your phone you will have to do it over again. The edits get overwritten by the network updates. A little inconvenience is a cheap price to pay for free hotspot.

Help with Mel

How do I get the mil for my note4, sprint does not want to give it to

Me.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] redram38:
Many times it is who you talk to. I acted like it was nothing special when I called. I told them I had issues with GPS quite often and I had it for my old phone so now I need it for the new one. I guess I got lucky and was able to get it on my first call.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] gem052887:
Thanks I just got the MSL and it works
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] KennyG123:
It also depends on how you ask. Try explaining to the tech that you are being sent overseas on business and not sure if it will be 1 month or more. You were told by fellow employees in the same situation that you could use a local carrier but would need your MSL code and just want to be prepared for the worst. It also helps to state that you do not want to leave Sprint and will continue paying your bill while overseas.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] terrywatson19:
Works for my Sprint S6 Edge running the latest OGA (stagefright fix) firmware!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] alwayzknow:
Thx... I did for it after complaining about other issues

What are other things I could do with me having the MSL?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Brock7089:
Other MSL functionality

I've been wondering the same thing for awhile. What other functionality can we enable with this?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Fearme4life:
I just spent 3 hours doing all kinds of crazy stuff and trying multiple different ways to get wifi hotspot to work. Even ended up rooting and trying more ways and still nothing. I FINALLY got it to work and I figured there might be someone as dumb as me out there who will run into this problem. IF you have changed your settings in More Networks -> Mobile Networks->Network Mode to only work in CDMA (sprint 3G only) because you were annoyed by phone jumping back and forth between 3G and 4G because 4G coverage is bad in your area, then you must re enable LTE(4G) The wifi tether will not work if you are on 3G. You need to have LTE/CDMA enabled so that it will connect to 4G. I hope I save someone from spending countless hours trying everything only to realize they have been on 3G the whole time.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] sandman512:
Ok, so I got the MSL code for my device and changed the settings as instructed. For some unknown reason, I do not have the SPRINT HOT SPOT APP. Can someone point me in the right direction to get it? Thanks!

Thanks, works perfect !

Hot spot and tethering - turn on hot spot
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] ianmb:
If you are looking for a toggle for hot spot just dl one from playstore. They have apps that come with widgets to toggle it on and off, once on it will take you to the native set up settings screen.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] sandman512:
Thanks much, any recommendations?

Had a quick question about 64gb cards. I know a long time ago there was something the larger sd cards couldn't do because of the way they were formatted exfat not fat32. I can't remember or find what it was to save my life. Anyone know? I only ask because I bought one without thinking about this. Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
fat32 has a single file size limit of 4gb.

exfat has some ridiculously high single file size.
