Everytime I send or receive calls the hotspot shuts off. Anyone know a way around that?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mo] Soooperstar:
With Sprint you can't use data and phone together, so probably try the do not disturb option but then you will most likely lose the calls
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mo] markstibbyspot:
Yeah, it sucks because on the s5 it automaticallyreconnects after my phone call
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mo] kuetip:
Where is this hotspot widget?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mo] markstibbyspot:
App store
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mo] Robalboa:
the last phone to have SVDO (simultaneous Voice and data) was the GS3

you can put your phone into do not disturb mode and youll still get notifications of everything and voicemail, and the Hotspot shouldnt shut off

Just as an FYI, if you got your S7 from Best Buy they give you the MSL on your Activation Details sheet. It's listed as the Master Lock code.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mo] Soooperstar:
Thanks, I know not to take it. They did the samething with the S6 but I think they found a couple work arounds. I heard someone mention the Foxfi app. As soon as the firmware is release, you should be able to rollback

Took the update

I took the update but didn't update my profile/prl and hotspot is still working. Will the phone eventually update the prl/profile automatically or do I just avoid doing so?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mo] Robalboa:
it will eventually update you can try and turn off the auto updates but prl updates will push through eventually

sucks the whole update was to lock the phone. it didnt improve anything but made it worse on battery

smart locks broken when used with location

camera in some settings
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mo] filebug:
They moved APN settings from ##data# to a new location under mobile networks - access point names- i could add the dun settings and now i can turn on hotspot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mo] Soooperstar:
It's always been there also on all Samsung phones, you just could only edit through ##3282#. So you were able to edit from there?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mo] filebug:
Yup
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mo] Stank0:
How? What did you do to be able to edit it from there? I've got S7 Edge and Note 5 and on both devices it's greyed out. (I didn't take the new update onS7E so I still have access to APN from ##3282#)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mo] Soooperstar:
I didn't take it either but from the looks of it he's the only one that this works for. Alot of complaints about battery drain with the new update also. I think I'm staying where I'm at

A silly question.

Is your phone from Sprint or international/unlocked?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mo] filebug:
Sprint bought from best buy few days ago
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mo] hijewpositive:
Mine is also greyed out. Bought phone from Sprint directly.

Anyone know how to get these fields to be editable without changing the firmware?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mo] Kidmet:
Mine is greyed out too! This change is all I bought the phone for. Crap!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mo] ponycarboy:
Ok I need to ask what might me a dumb question but what EXACTLY is a locked boot loader. Explain how the lock works. Ps I edited my phone with the msl and that worked great now paranoid to let it update
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mo] Robalboa:
if you update it to apc5 you will not have access to those setting again. they will be greyed out

and once your prl updates or profile updates it will erase the APN settings to default never to be changed again

I took my phone back because of the update and got one that was NOT updated and never connected to wifi during setup then went straight to update settings and turned off automatic updates

and i can say the version before the APC5 (apb5) works flawlessly no need for that update it only locked up the phone and made the battery bad

and a few other things borked out

Good news there is another way to make the hotspot work WIthout the APN changes.

just making sure its works and in what settings it works (ie 4glte, 3g. roaming etc)

then ill update the thread.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mo] ponycarboy:
Ok mine hadn't updated so my hotspot works great and I did block updates but what is this method you talk about VERY CURIOUS. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mo] Kidmet:
Anxiously awaiting your update. I did have luck turning hotspot on right away when the phone boots up. Then it works until you reset again. (At least I wasn't told I didn't have access to it) we'll see if it continues to work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mo] Kidmet:
So even with the update, I've been able to turn my hotspot on. (Never did the hack or used hotspot before the update. Only had the phone 1 day now) has anyone not been able to turn it on? I feel like they've taken the lock off and will charge you for it if you use it. Anyone not been able to turn it on? Mine does work. Odd.

Got my answer, I'm on wifi.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mo] zaneyt:
Yes I did read them and realized that the option is greyed out after the MM update. I bought my phone from the sprint store and it had already been updated when I purchased it. Is there anyway around this or do I just wait for the loop hole?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mo] copc:
If you did infact read the thread then you know the answer. I have read each post in this thread and well aware there is no option outside of root right now. I am not trying to be difficult, but if every S7 owner comes here and asks the same question(s) you did then us that have read will spend our time answering the same question over and over again that is already here.

We can only move forward when we all are heading in the same direction. :good:

That's awesome that you figured it out on the S3. Does it help us in anyway now?

Nothing has changed correct? Options are still greyed out with the latest update.

And it will continue to work until you do a profile update. That will reset the APNs, and you won't be able to change them again.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mo] chrisduclo:
I downgrade from PD3 to PC5 using Odin and this file https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24533100289590563

There are some pros and cons to doing this as it seemed to not be the exact same PC5 OTA from Sprint.

Things I've found so far:

Pros: Hotspot working with secondary app from playstore (Used Foxfi) hotspot setting is removed from settings.

Video calling from phone app is an option (Haven't tried it yet)

Cons: Dialer codes do not work in the ##DIALER CODE# format

LTE icon is replaced with a 4G+ icon

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mo] Giston141:
The instructions about the whole band 41 thing, for sprint spark, is that something I'd actually want to enable? I know LTE Plus is a little faster than sprint spark but if I actually do that I can have both.. right? Like why would I NOT want band 41 to be enabled?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mo] Soooperstar:
You're just telling them that to get your msl. You probably already have it. Lte plus and spark is triband. Band 41 is just one of the bands
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mo] samatagana:
I just went in and made friends with a sales rep then asked him for it. Don't be scared to ask. Tell them that you want to change your band priority for better service in your area. It's your phone and your account. I suggest going in person, the customer service reps on the phone log everything they do. The sales reps at the speed are much less attentive

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rakcoon:
So this morning woke up to phone with 20% battery life, it hadn't charged over night.

And I discover that the charging cable closest to phone charging port was melted, and orange.

I place my phone on a wooden nightstand beside my bed. I'm using genuine wall adapter, and USB charging cable that came with the phone. I don't use electrical extension wires, and it's plugged straight into the wall outlet. On the same outlet, I have an iPad charging, and had no problems with it charging over night.

I've read many articles regarding the dangers of charging a phone on insulating material (ie. bedsheets, under blankets, pillows), and I'm very cautious in this regard.

Thankfully, the phone hadn't exploded while I was asleep. But I'm now paranoid.

Not sure of the extent of the damage to the phone's internals.

I'm taking it to Telus (phone provider in Canada) where I purchased it from, and discuss possible warranty options.

I'll post photos of the damaged charging cable once I get home from work.

Any input?

Update: contacted Samsung customer service via phone, and they asked for photos of the phone and the melted charging cable to their email address.

Update2: The email samsung rep provided is out of service, and their alternate email is also out of service. They put me on hold 3 times, then hung up on me twice. This is unacceptable customer service.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rakcoon:
Samsung customer support is driving me insane. The indian guy (they say their name is Roosevelt, Ronald, Raymond, Caroline, Susan) with barely audible mic refuses to transfer me to higher management, and when I asked to do so, they'll hang up on me.

When I tell them the phone burnt, and plastic has melted, they try their hardest to cover it up.

My phone is still dead, charger is still melted, and samsung won't take care of it. I'm contacting the press, in hopes of getting more publicity on this matter.

I'm certain my next phone I get will not be Samsung. I'll push on my fellow board members to steer clear from samsung phones as our next company phones.

Did u try charging it using another cable?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skhulile:
Had the same kind of experience with my S6 edge charging cable, likely it was during the day and I was close to it, I first starting getting the smell of something burning and then I decided to ignore it, and later on the phone showed a message saying "Charging Temperature to high, Phone can't charge" after taking out the cable i found that the connector had burnt a little, I have since changed and got a new cable and no issues so far.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fullmetal Jun:
On the first day of purchase, I replaced my cable with an LG cable (my tablet's cable) as instantly I knew Samsung provided a cheap cable that's too thin to handle the electricity from fast charge as from experience, I had melted cables for other devices. LG provides a thick high quality cable and Nokia also provides thick cables.

For me, that's poor engineering as what's the use of fast charge if the cable can't handle it. My Samsung cable is still new and lying around for pc connections!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProtoDeVNan0:
My original Samsung cable broke after two weeks when I got the phone lol. Later I bought like 3-4 chinese usb cables that also stopped working. And then I got a quite expensive cable that works even today. I do agree that Samsung's technical support or service repair center sucks. And I do also agree with a thing that You shouldn't charge Your phone under Your pillow(unless You have a really well ventilated room). And when any of You guys will buy a non samsung usb cable make sure that it will work with 9v fast charging(cause only one of those 3-4 cables did work with 9v).

Summary: When You buy Samsung device they won't fix it unless You bring it to their repair center by Yourself. And obviously if they see knox tripped they will charge You $300 for even something as simple as a headphone port replacement.

I've had waaaaaay too many problems with samsung devices(even tv's that cost $1000-$2000).

In example: when my IPhone had a broken call speaker they didn't even care that it was jailbroken! They just fixed it for free within 15 minutes and I got a fully working phone back :).

Thanks all for participating.

It was genuine, original cable that came with the phone.

it was not charging under anything- it was on a wood night stand.

The phone has knox intact.

But being disrespected by their lowest level service reps are extremely aggrevating.

If i was you i will go to the store i buy it from if they dont want to replace my phone i will probably brick some s7 or more and spend some time in jail then when i am out im goin to find that indian i will hang him in he's apartment..with the melted s6 cable and the charger in he's A**
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aria.A97:
Lmao ?

My cable used to get extremely hot. However charging was ok.

I yesterday I cracked connector to check if everything is fine. Surprise! there wasn't a single physical damage.

My cable used to get extremely hot till charging to 75% and then it became cool again. Leaving me with the idea that stock cable is so thin and weak to carry such powerful electricity current.

I bought a third party cable. It works totally fine. Supports fast charging. Actually it even charges faster than stock cable, and doesn't get hot at all. Even phone and Battery are now cooler than before when charging.

You can see stock cable color is changed due to extremely hot temperature.

By the way if you are going to buy cable, make sure it supports 2A or you'll lose fast charging.

Same thing happened to my Samsung Note bought in April 2015. Few weeks ago, I noticed the phone was not charging well. Then 2 week ago the charger always came off, therefore not charging the phone unless you hold the charger in a specific position.
