If you are rooted, you can edit the build.prop to enable hotspot. I think that will be much more reliable than the reboot method. There are lots of threads on that topic. A quick Google found this. Scroll to the bottom and follow the steps for build.prop edits.

Restart Wi-Fi trick

I've been searching for a way to use my unlimited data on my S7 Edge for THE LONGEST. I was looking into the mod but then saw that the APN stuff was grayed out. I tried the reset/restart phone, hurry to settings, and clicked on my hotspot and I was surprised that it actually work. I'm good as long as no calls I guess.

I had to restart a couple times because the wi-fi disconnected and then I got that "you're not subscribed to hotspot" message. Even though it may be bit tedious getting to your setting fast, it's a cool hack.

APN TYPE is greyed out. I cant access it. does this method work anymore? Im on a PH7
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps and Mods] Ftapon:
I spent a couple of days trying to find a solution for this, but I cannot. So I hope somebody can help.

My phone is rooted and unlocked.

It was once a Sprint phone SM-G935P.

I have my own MSL code.

Many forums advice that you enter ##DATA# and tweak

APN2LTE internet and APN2 EHRPD and write default,mms,dun.

The problem is that my DATA screen doesn't show APN2LTE internet and APN2 EHRPD

All I see is APN.

When I change the APN TYPE to default,mms,dun nothing happens on reboot.

Another popular advice is that you should edit the build.prop and add

net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

But that fails too.

Foxfi doesn't work either.

Trying to activating quickly at reboot is no possible.

It's embarrassing that I have a rooted and unlocked phone, but I can not use my phone as a hotspot. I have tried a few apps as well. They fail.

The hotspot option never appears on my Settings.

Does anybody have a solution?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps and Mods] superbluepsd:
The quick reboot method for hotspot still works fine on my wifes unrooted stock SM-G935P even with the newest OTA update from about 2 weeks ago. Maybe try and return to stock and unroot and use the quick reboot method.

I researched for a long time to figure out how to unlock Sprints hotspot for free, until I figured a way out, However it does require root and xposed. But now i'm running my Spring Samsung Galaxy S7 rooted and xposed installed no problems and I can enjoy using Hotspot unlimited. rooting is worth it because it doesn't void your warranty. here's my guide in case you become interested.

Fast reboot method

I have a sprint galaxy s7 running 6.0.1. I have not yet rooted, and just got my phone! I have unlimited data and am desperate to get my hotspot running. I have my msl code, but that wont help me now i am afraid. I tried the fast reboot method and it works but only for about 2 minutes, and then the message pops up and i get kicked off. Anyone have any ideas of why i am getting kicked off? I didnt see any notifications pop up that would make this happen. Can I disable whatever makes it stop after i get the hotspot going? Any ideas guys? Thanks!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps and Mods] superbluepsd:
Seems as of today my hotspot is getting turned off after a couple of minutes also. Irritating. May have to root.

Update from my last post

Hey man, I found out a fix for this last night i believe. This was not my idea, i read it in the middle of the s7 edge forum. My hotspot would also shut off a few minutes after using the quick start method. Here is what i did to fix mine, went to galaxy app store, and updated good lock app, and then opened and used its interface, now for some reason you wont get the popup subscription error. However, if you get a call, it may still broadcast a wifi signal, but provide no internet. In that case you need to reboot again. I hope this works for you also!!!

Big thanks to everyone on here helping each other out! I am still hoping to change my APN number if anyone can figure out how to make it not blacked out! I have my MSL #, its just blacked out due to the 6.0.1 update.

REally need help with hotspot

I tried this.s give a connection without disconnecting. However.. The band width seems seriously reduced. I can lo longer stream Netflix etc, which is my main need. It will surf text and light graphic websites. I had no problem doing this when the fast restart method worked. Is there a setting I should know about that would give me back my previous performance?

I live out in the sticks, no cable dsl etc. I am in the stone age. :( I am kind of sorry I traded in my S3 I had it rooted and it was a great hotspot
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps and Mods] CMcClure4:
Hey I'm sorry to hear that. I am experiencing this sometimes and am still trying to figure it out. Try enabling developer options, and then enable use legacy dhcp client. Also, try wpa2 and add a password under the "configure hotspot tab". Let me know if this helps! If you figure anything else out let us know.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps and Mods] BobH3615:
Thanks for the suggestion but I'm sorry to say it did not work. I guess I'll have to do a little more reading and root the phone. I rooted phones before I did my S5. But it seems that this is much more complicated on the S7. I can follow directions but I'm not a genius at this. If anyone else has any input and how to speed up the connection on this restart method I'd love to hear it.

Happy New Year

Just got a new firmware update that "improves hotspot stability" G930FXXU1DPLT. Anyone daring enough to try it and see if it kills the fast reboot method?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps and Mods] djschny:
Fast reboot method was killed prior to this for me. It would work, and then within 2 minutes after working popup the subscription message. I installed this update and still exact same issue after install.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps and Mods] CMcClure4:
Did you try installing good lock from galaxy apps? I am fully updated and was having that problem until i did so. But as soon as I get a text or call it shuts off. Can you check and see if the APN settings are still blacked out after this new update for me!? Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps and Mods] djschny:
No, I did not try that yet. Will do so today.

---------- Post added at 08:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:05 AM ----------

OK, so just installed Good Lock (wow what a piece of ****). Afterwards, yes I was able to start the hotspot with no problem! However my devices connect successfully, get an IP address, but cannot access the internet. Just request timeout or no route to host. It appears the same issue is there for the first 1 or 2 minutes when I don't have Good Lock installed as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps and Mods] CMcClure4:
Great! with good lock installed go to developer options and check use legacy dhcp client. You should now hopefully have a working router again using quick reboot method! Are APN settings still blacked out?

[MENTION=7959069]CMcClure4[/MENTION]

Here's how to get your MSL:

Go online to sprint's customer support chat, DO NOT CALL THE CUSTOMER SUPPORT NUMBER. Every-time I asked they refused to give me it and claimed it was confidential till I paid off my phone. Just go into the customer chat, and during the chat setup give your reason as being "Need help setting specific LTE bands". Once you're connected wait for them to ask you to further elaborate. Tell them, "I need my MSL code so I can set certain LTE bands as the default config uses bands which have a poor signal near my home/work". They should ask you to confirm your number and/or security question (depending on whether you already told them it in the chat setup). After that, they should give you guys the code. Good Luck!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps and Mods] djschny:
Unfortunately still no luck. Even after enabling legacy dhcp mode, devices still have no route even though they successfully connect to the hotspot and get an IP address.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps and Mods] CMcClure4:

Thought I would revive this thread. I just got the Galaxy S8 and even with the MSL I cannot edit the screen to allow hotspot. Reading through some people said to download Good Lock to try the reboot method. Is that in the play store? I found one called Good Lock, which is a lock screen app, is that the same thing?

Reboot method only allows hotspot for 2 minutes then gives the error. Hopefully using the good lock app will be a work around I can use.

Thank you!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps and Mods] CMcClure4:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps and Mods] FivePiece:
So, there's currently no way to gain hotspot without root, correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps and Mods] CMcClure4:
Incorrect. 930u is not a root, essentially in this thread we have a sprint version of the phone. The 930u is some generic version that does not contain sprint bloat ware etc, and will allow you to edit the apn settings to dun. It is a generic version that was given out officially by Samsung. You still get Ota updates and everything. There are other threads about this go find one, I am no expert on this, I just did it to my phone with the help of others. Good luck!

Dude, I've done everything I can to enable hotspot tethering but to no avail. I've got my MSL number went through ##3282# but my APN settings are mostly greyed out and I cannot change the type to add ,dun to it.

I have tried disabling packages, tethering automation disabled I've tried the method using quick shortcut maker that enables the hotspot on a Note 5, that was a no go. So I guess my question to you is can I downgrade or flash my firmware back to an earlier version and if so how to do it safely?

Any help would be much appreciated seeing as to how I'm losing my mind trying to enable the hotspot tethering on the Samsung S7 SM g930p variant from Sprint

PS. root is not an option

I know this is a test a few people were interested in seeing. Pretty interesting none-the-less, and sort of highlights how redundant some of the Touchwiz speed complaints are these days, and have been for some time. The S7 Edge seems pretty much slightly faster across the board compared to the 6P, at least in this test, though both are super quick. The S7 also only needed to reload one app (Facebook), so it does look like multitasking is much improved. This on top of being able to split screen multitask at any time, which as many will know, stock Android does not yet offer.

My S6 is still running really fast even a year in to use, so I'm confident the S7/S7 Edge will perform as consistently if not more so.

Good video. Though it really only compares boot and app launch times, not necessarily smoothness. Both of which are greatly aided by Samsungs ufs storage. Despite this. Owning the s7 edge it's definitely faster than any device I've previously owned.

I know this has probably been discussed in one form or another in the past, but I want something more up-to-date.

I'd prefer not to use an app that will replace Google notifications with its own, but am willing to root. I do not want to downgrade in any way or form the OS by flashing some old custom ROM.

What are my options for increasing the intensity (and maybe duration) of the vibration? I can barely feel it, especially with a Pebble on my other wrist (two mobile devices).

Currently it is paired with a Nexus 5 running Android 6.0.1

P.S. Does this work?: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sssemil.advancedsettings&hl=en

*Oh yeah, my vibration from Facebook is way better than from Messenger by Google (separate SMS yet again...). Therefore, I could change texting app (and my other messengers are on my iPod Touch 6), but email and other notifications (mainly reminders) need better vibrations as well. Plus, I'd like to unlock the 3 other cores, so going to root and try invisiblek's kernel soon.

This tutorial didn't work as shown in page 2: http://xdaforums.com/g-watch/development/tutorial-root-android-wear-6-0-1-t3320215

Heck, it even lists the wrong command for rebooting into fastboot: "adb reboot fastboot" instead of "adb reboot bootloader". And I've overwritten my recovery partition, thanks a lot! Must be getting rusty...

*Step 4 should be "fastboot boot twrp300modif.img" if Xmaster24's posts were heeded properly (and if the tutorial actually works for others).

Great, a bricked watch until someone sends me stock images... (forgot to backup)

*Maybe I'm wrong about step 4, but anyhow just read this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65661084&postcount=21
[LG G Watch] CrEdge:
OK, I finally resolved my root problems and installed "Advanced Settings for Watch". I increased the vibration from 80 to 100, but it's still not enough for texts (though notable increase for other vibrations).

I have a feeling it has everything to do with the "Messenger by Google" app, so will be exploring some other options soon.
