No hotspot love for me...

My new S7 Edge can only act as a Hotspot when I'm on wifi (big deal, right?). I have a grandfathered in Unlimited Data plan and then it became part of a Corp Account. Once I turn wifi off on my phone and the Mobile Hotspot feature to "on" then I get the same message I've gotten on all of my AT&T phones for years: Please call 611 or go to att.com/mywireless to enable mobile hotspot... blah, blah, blah....

I'm sure they want me to pay for my phone to act as a mobile hotspot...Oh well, I'll survive!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Firepac:
What are you talking about? I have an unlimited data plan with AT&T and I can tether without any extra charges. I'm also on a corporate account.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] scott14719:
So? A person or 2 that posted above said they can't. Maybe your account is set up specifically for it already. The specifics of your situation might not meat the same as others.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Firepac:
You made it sound like only accounts with non-unlimited data can get free tethering.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] scott14719:
It appeared that way because I was answering someone that was being rude and didn't want to hear the answer I gave, so I didn't take the time to go into exact details about possible exceptions. Many of which I'm sure I'm not even aware of.

However, it was that way for a long time but now there seem to be a few exceptions like the Direct TV deals and I'm sure a few other situations. There are other variables as well... such as, when did you start your service, what were the terms when you started it, was tethering a part of the initial service?, etc... For the most part, unlimited data plans (not the DirecTv deals) usually have not included tethering. Without knowing the exact terms of your plan, I would say you fit into one of the "exception" catagories. Of course with AT&T, it's hard to tell.

I can confirm that I get unlimited tethering out of the box on my TMobile S7 Edge, using MetroPCS unlimited data plan. 45mb down, 3mb up.. Woot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jdphilly:
Wow this guy ask for someone opinion doesn't like the answer he get and start calling people retarded! Amazing.........
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] greyhulk:
Apparently, you didn't read the thread very well. He replied with an assumption that I had already disputed in my original post, then went on to insist that it was probably the most likely cause, even though I had made it clear that I knew what kind of plan I was on.

And really, those are the types of replies you get about half the time on here, like people don't even read your post before replying, so no matter how well you cover your bases in the original post, someone always replies to insist that the solution is the exact thing you had already discounted.

Amazing indeed.

I use the AT&T s7 on cricket and I have a reoccurring issue with the mobile hotspot that I need help with. With no rhyme or reason the Hotspot will work one day and then the next day I get an error message "to enable mobile hotpot go to at&t.com to activate service". The next time it will work, does anybody have a suggestion on how to get this to work all the time. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rurika:
Well, I have at&t grandma unlimited plan and the tethering not work for me. It works if I'm connected to wifi.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] robbyr:
Just signed up last week with the DirectTV unlimited plan and I can confirm that tethering works great for me with the stock app. Not sure if it's intended to but I will keep my fingers crossed that they don't catch it. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ziken:
Okay. I've done a few test on this...and seem like tethering only works if you have Wifi enabled, because basically what it doing is that it allowing you to connect by sharing the wifi on your phone with your wifi devices.

I guess Samsung embedded a way for you to use WiFi and broadcast it as well. This would somehow bypass AT&T Tether block using your Data Plan, but this would require that you use WiFi connection instead.

Please test Tethering by doing the following:

Turn on WiFi, then enable Hotspot. It will enable hotspot tethering, but using WiFi sharing.

Turn off WiFi, then enable Hotspot. It'll tell you to contact AT&T to enable hotspot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Buddyro34:
I Just switched to At&t unlimited with direct tv about 2 weeks ago and I can confirm no tethering from stock app or any other app I have tried to find on the App store. it sucks to cause I'm not trying to share it with the whole world I just need it for some classes while i'm at work in some remote areas... it's some BS if ya ask me...if i wanted to be completely controlled i would buy an IPHONE...lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Smeffner:
Does wifi tether router from app store not work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] androidblaster:
OK guys if you use your laptop and want to tether all you need to do is use the Samsung side sync app on your phone and your laptop in the settings on the laptop you see about tethering hope it helps I've received no messages about no tethering stock att gs7 hope this helps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] psufan5:
I would still use a VPN on the client machines connecting. That way they cant tell its a remote computer using the hotspot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Desire731:
I have a legacy Unlimited Data plan through AT&T. I also work for AT&T. That being said, I do tether via the wifi hotspot on my device frequently. However, this has only worked easily with unlocked devices. The only locked device I ever purchased was a Captivate, which had to be flashed to open up the tethering options. Prior to that I used the N97, and after all international version Samsungs.

As far as the plans:

Legacy plans which are based on X amount of minutes did have some data packages that included tethering. They were generally listed as 'Pro'.

Legacy plans with Unlimited Data did not have a tethering option available for consumers. Keep in mind, CRU (Corporate Accounts) are different. Depending on many factors such as: the size of the company, the yearly revenue from the company, the promotions at the time, and even the CRU Rep, corporations are able to negotiate plan and feature combinations which would otherwise be unavailable to the general public. The best way to know exactly what you have, is to talk to the person in charge of your account at your corporation. You, having the plan however, would know better than a third-party (outside of your corporation or AT&T) what features you have. I can not explain why a device on a corporate account with unlimited data would not have tethering available previously but the new device would, other than something with the firmware in the new device not blocking it or the corporation having renegotiated a feature in the plan. The only way to really know is to ask. If it is, however, a glitch... perhaps it's best to let sleeping dogs lie and enjoy it. :)

Mobile Share Plans, the newer ones (newer than Legacy Plans) which have Unlimited Talk and Text and a Data allotment which is shared between all lines on the account, do include tethering/ hotspot. As one contributor mentioned, this will eat your data, depending on what you are using it for, so be careful.

New Unlimited Data w/ DTV plans are much like the Legacy ones, in that they also do not allow tethering / hotspot as an option. They do, however, include Unlimited Talk and Text.

In my opinion, the best solution I have found thus far, for being able to use my device as a mobile hotspot with an Unlimited Data package, is to purchase a factory unlocked, international device. I am currently using a Galaxy Note 4 N910C and am upgrading to a Galaxy S7 Edge G935F.

As a side note: I have spoken to my AT&T rep about this in the past (he is aware of what I am doing... thank God he's a cool guy) and he has said AT&T does reserve the right to take away someone's unlimited data if they catch them using an unlocked device to tether on unlimited data, although he's never heard of it happening first hand. That being said, I've used 63+GB in a month without throttling or any other issues, but the warning is always there in the back of my mind.

I hope this helps and of course does not offend. It is meant purely for informational purposes based upon the knowledge we are provided with at a Management level.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] stewykam:
Try this, pull up the dialer and do this, ##data#, go to edit, find apn and click on it, lte should be enabled, so click on that, scroll down for type... Should say something like default,mun...on this line is where you want to add ",dun". In the end it should look like this.... "Default,mun,dun" .... Without the quotation marks... Now up in the top right corner, click on the 3 dot menu and save. Go back one screen and save again, reboot and you're Hotspot and tethering should work no problem... Please test and report.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] RyTheShark:
Confirming that XTouchWiz tether provision unlock works with root & xposed. Also I have used over 100 GB in previous month's without any warning from AT&T both with my S7 unrooted and my old S6 rooted with the tether provisions unlocked as well.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] AxlxA:
Thinking of getting an S7E or a Note 7 and tethering on the grandfathered unlimited plan is a MUST for me. Is there a way to change the tethering provision with root without having to go the Xposed Framework route?

I was planning to get a international S7E but I do want to use AT&T's Wifi calling as well.
[LG V10 General] jcnbama:
Hey folks just wanted to say that I really love my V10. But coming from Nexus and some of the other LG series I am going crazy with the lack of "things" to tinker with. I am not exactly a flash-a-holic but I am definitely a tinkerer (if thats a word). I like to flash custom Roms and fool around with xposed and maybe a little mod here or there. It's crazy how this phone still has virtually no developer support or any kind of custom rom scene. (yes I understand why about the locked bootloaders etc etc). It's been so long I almost feel like I'm rusty and probably forgot how.. Haha.

Nevertheless I love it and it's a great phone (although a bit on the heavy side as time goes on). My wife just got the Galaxy S7 and it's so nice and small and bright and waterproof. Does make me think about looking other ways. I dunno. I hope LG doesn't just make this phone like a stepchild to the flagship series. Still barely gettin marshmallow update in other countries and not really anything new with the 2nd screen for any apps or anything. I guess this is borderline off topic but just some musings I've had the last week or so. Later!
[LG V10 General] Twitch5tick:
I feel the same way. I have been considering selling this and getting something else.
[LG V10 General] DarkestSpawn:
If you have a version that is rootable, use the many xposed modules out there. I have tweaked mine to be better than what my nexus 5 was. If you have been around long enough as I have, you will have learned that when ROM's are not available that a Root Explorer is a very good friend. I will go in depth

Base things one uses with a unlocked bootloader / Alternatives to a locked bootloader.

Custom Recovery: TWRP (Or W/E you like) / FlashFire (Install zips, make backups)

Custom ROM: CyanogenMod ( Or if Im using a device DHacker is supporting then I would use that to test the **** out of it) / Stock/BloatStock ( Xposed Modules can do almost everything any custom ROM can if not more than what a Custom ROM could do)

Custom Kernel: Dont need one, never needed one. If it was forced via the ROM then it was used. / Plenty of apps to do little things like Overclock or RAM management etc.

It's my belief people new to the Android Platform go for Custom ROMs is to get everything in one place in one ROM build. Hence why Android is beginning to absorb most of the popular things in the modding community to the aosp nexus builds, slowly if I might add.

All in all, research, time, and stock img files are your best friend to learn from trial and error.
[LG V10 General] faearai01:
I don't understand you. You got the phone for a reason. And that reason still is valid. There are always newer phones available the moment you buy something.
[LG V10 General] melorib:
Totally agree, I dont miss the phone dying on me once in a while, having to flash an "old" backup, loosing some data... And with xPosed this phone is as customisable as I ever needed :good:

But I'm willing to understand. So give me a hint and maybe it turns into a TIL.
[LG V10 General] kolembo:
The need to be able to make a change to how the phone operates, and see that change in action.

And then change it again. Ownership of the device, playing with the experience of using the phone.

Getting to touch, swish, swipe, scroll - interact with the device (you never been in bed and gone endlessly through your settings menu, again and again; into all the options, all the possibilities? It's not really for the 'settings', you already know what you want really...It's to swish and swipe, especially if the phone is high end, the screen is beautiful and the actions like silk) until you fall asleep cradling it lovingly in your hand under the pillow and waking with it stuck to your cheek?

A sense of learning

A sense of making technology do what You want - of being able to effect change.

To. Develop. Perhaps.

To use the phone.

To discover and distribute something to others..

TO TWEAK BATTERY LIFE. (Heh)

To be part of a community doing the same.
[LG V10 General] arash64a:
This is my second LG phone, and absolutely latest one.

Whay?

Because of soooo pore support and update.

Update is nothing.

Im coming from LG G4, REALLY what's improvement in LG V10? nothing + poor update support.

At all i NEVER buy a LG phone and NEVER suggest any LG mobile phone for anyone.

[LG V10 General] Mrozik1990:
So what are you going to buy now?
[LG V10 General] faeArai:
I've a v10 and will stay with it for at least one year. Since MM is being rolled-out, I'm pretty fine. I also had and still have several nexus devices and was disappointed by the quality of hardware.
[LG V10 General] DM725:
There is a lot more to do on the V10 than my previous Nexus 6. I don't think I understand...
[LG V10 General] faearai01:
I don't get that guys here saying that they are moving to an other phone. Just do it. But noone cares which phone you have and why you're moving on. It seems like those guys still are not sure and just want other to ask them to stay. I don't care. Have fun with your next phone - until you get it and and complain and buy an other one. And so on and so on. There is an other root cause of your frustration and I'm pretty sure it's not the phone ?

This is the first phone for me that had issues like volume down button doesn't work ..i paid nearly 700$ for a phone that broke in few days .. Poor LG i think you need to leave phones world and let samsung and iphone work on it

How much did they pay you to say that ?
[LG V10 General] arash64a:
Same here, i buy any flagship mobile phone until Nokia 6630, i only encounter with problem ONLY in LG G4 and LG V10.

In my LG G4 my phone has 4 dead screen pixels, result = selling phone.

In my LG V10 my phone has 8 dead screen pixels.

Never experienced any this kind of problem.

In any Samsung mobile phone like Samsung S6 G920 we have many custom rom and we decide which one is perfect.

BUT in LG V10 even we haven't unlock able bootloader!!!

LG must leave this battle ?
[LG V10 General] melorib:
Unbelievable!!!
[LG V10 General] Akhayev:
Don't worry I've been using lg phones for many years .. I used l7 g2 g3 g4 v10 g pro lite ..but every year lg keeps falling ..the only phone lg made and it was good g2 other than that nothing ..g3 had issues with lagging heating bad battery life and bad build quality..G4 bad battery life bad bulid quality and issues with motherboard ..v10 bad battery life bad support and issues with power and volume buttons so you cant compare lg phones with other phones like huawei samsung iphone HTC
[LG V10 General] melorib:
I always has Samsung Galaxy until they stopped making removable battery and sdcard, S6, this is my first LG, so far perfect, dont need third party ROMs or kernels to get good performance or to costumize as I want, unlike Samsung...
[LG V10 General] ZMan2k2:
Guys, you're not going to convince those who think this is a boring phone, an unsupported phone, or whatever other complaint they have, to stay. I know why I bought this phone, for me it's perfect, and I have no complaints. But there are some who will “need” something different. Whatever.

My problem is I can't get V4A working with PowerAmp Alpha. A small complaint. My bigger problem, those who go on a forum for a device, and announce “I`m bored. I hate this thing.” The grass is always greener on the other side. Bye bye.
[LG V10 General] jcnbama:
Haha. Holy Crap that escalated quickly. I use the XDA FORUM so little now that I can't "flash all the things" I forgot I made this thread... Haha.

Don't get me wrong I love the phone. It's solid (just don't drop it haha). I'm not knocking the phone when I called it boring please don't take that the wrong way. It's fast, it takes bad ass pics and it's got a great display and pretty solid battery life. I'm just used to having a Phone that I have a need to always have a TWRP backup for because I'm screwing around with it so much. You know it's a hobby.. Like some guys mess with their cars. I like to tinker with my phone. I like to break it and spend sleepless nights trying to fix it, I like to argue with my wife about why it's necessary to flash the latest version of Paranoid Android to help the community... Haha. It's just a thing.

No offense. Great phone. I did just order a case because I'm concerned about some of the drop stories I've heard though which is gonna make it bigger and that's a bit concerning but other than that I'm gonna try and ride this out awhile.

[LG V10 General] melorib:
You are indeed the real king of originality :cool:
[LG V10 General] NowVoyager:
It's not the phone that is boring. It's the lack of a vibrant developers community around it. With my note, there was no end of ROMs and groups to join. But this is a new phone. The community isn't developed to the same depth as Sammy phones. We are the pioneers of this phone and it's community. There are few Devs for the LG. And those with rootable phones may not be Devs that create...That's the dilemma, not the phone itself. The phone is great!
[LG V10 General] faearai01:
Don't need some cheesy ROMs made to get some donations. I don't wanna be offensive here, but how could I ever install an unknown ROM made by an unknown person on my most important device? People are complaining about security issues in stock ROMs, yet they are installing some shady binaries on their smartphones.

I've had latest year hottest devices as S6, Note 5, G4, Flex2 and Note edge among others and I'm not missing any one of those. This phone has its defects as second screen bleeding and mediocre battery life, but I could live with them instead of lack of expandable storage as in samsung devices or terrible battery life as in G4. This is by far the best android smartphone from 2015 and I don't feel moved to get the latest devices as S7 and G5.
[LG V10 General] Zachary droid:
You can easily unlock the bootloader and root,. But I agree there's no development support,. It's kinda weird,. Wish I was good enough, I would develop some roms

[T-Mobile LG G3] Shawn R:
Getting straight to it. I'm in the process of switching from Ting to AT&T. I purchased an AT&T SIM on eBay that can be used for AT&T services or GoPhone PrePaid services. I want to use GoPhone Prepaid services. I activated the SIM online on AT&T's website and got my new number. Now here's where the problem rears its ugly head. I couldn't figure out why it would not let my turn the Mobile Data on. So I installed a SIM Card status app and found that the SIM needs a PUK code. I contacted AT&T and they provided me with the PUK code for my phone but we could not figure out how to get it to actually ask for the PUK code. Any ideas?
