I used the stupid screen protector they included with the phone and no damage to it whatsoever
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Nik2424:
Mine has somehow got a small tiny scratch too. However, my cousin also has an axon 7 and no scratches yet after more than 2 months. So I don't think its a screen problem but probably ran into sand or something like [MENTION=4701155]Cyrus D.[/MENTION] suggested.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] ethanscooter:
These aren't just little dots. These are huge lines that are somewhat circular shaped. I have no idea what happened.

Axon 7 Durability Test - Scratch, Burn, Bend

Jerryrigeverything, on Youtube, tests the ruggedness of many phones. His Axon 7 tests show that it is indeed a very durable device. The screen has top-tier scratch resistance -- the same as all the flagship devices, including the iPhone 7.

Check out his video here: Axon 7 Durability Test - Scratch, Burn, Bend
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] joem5815:
I had the same problem. Had the Moto X Pure for almost a year, no scratches (raised speaker grills probably helped) but I got scratches on the Axon after just a couple days. It luckily wasn't too bad before I through the included screen protector on, which has also gotten badly scratched and attracts fingerprints like no other protector I've had. On the market for a tempered glass protector now.

My Axon 7 experience

I got my L uoxV i mean Axon 7 in january 5, i kept the stock screen protector for 2 weeks, got super scratched, then i take it off to apply the one that comes as extra, when i apply it, there are millions of bubbles even after blowing and wiping, so i left it naked, then 1 day i lay it face down on a school desk, and when i pick it up, my screen has lvl 6 and 7 deep mohs scale of hardness scratches all over my screen!!! i wanted to die, then one day i got my key and as a joke drew circles at the top, and there are scratches too!!! wtf i thought this was more scratch resistant and there are also lots of little circles and scratches everywhere, like you can feel them with your nail! so annoying :crying:
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tolymatev:
I have my Axon 7 since launch also and it's spotless. No screen protector and no case on the weekends. I work commercial construction and my case always is full of dust. I take the case of, wipe the phone and it looks new again.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] HansWursT619:
Circular patterns sound like you tried to clean the screen with some sand on it.

A single sand particle can ruin your screen if you rub it in with your shirt or something.

I always try to blow the big particles of and do a very soft wipe without any pressure.

Only then would I try to clean of fingerprints.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] WesTD:
Same on me. There are a lot of minor scratchs on my screen. is there gg4 really?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Tekoj:
I have mine for about 3 months no cover and always in my pocket, I'm twon commuter nothing extreme. Screen looks worse than my 4 year old Samsung S3, I have china version is it possible that they used some low quality glass, and it looks like they did it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] front firing speakers:
No problems on my Chinese version. No scratches at all on mine.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] trasheris:
three months, no screen protector and no case, always in pocket at work (dusty place) and I walk to work and back home for 1 hour with phone in my pocket. there is one little scratch that I can see sometimes in good lighting conditions. but else it looks as the first day. I never put it on screen on table or another surface and it once fell out of pocket while I was sitting.

"Help! I took poor care of my phone but it's ZTE's fault!"
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] KwesiJnr:
That's too bad. Used my without a case for about a week before getting the full body protection from Skinomi in the mail.

https://www.amazon.com/Screen-Prote...qid=1488396108&sr=8-4&keywords=skinomi+axon+7

I always use this when I purchase a new device (Nexus 4, Nexus 5, HTC One M8). All these previous devices were sold months later in almost new condition. Not a single scratch in sight.

For my Axon 7, I just used the front and back protectors and it is just spotlessly perfect.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] emmecinque:
Mine got large scratches in it after literally a single day. I'm pretty careful with phones; I still have my two previous Motorola phones and neither of those have any visible scratches at all; they were used for at least a year each. The new Axon has significant scratches, and I have no recollection of doing anything out of the ordinary with the phone. I don't carry it in a pocket with keys or gravel, and I'm not around any significant amount of sand on a regular basis. I'm kind-of old and I don't do crazy things with devices.

Maybe there are different batches of glass, or maybe there are some soft materials to which the glass is susceptible (which seems really odd and sort-of physically impossible).
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] PiArc:
Mine held up fairly perfectly until I started dropping it on cement when I broke a finger on my dominant hand. The glass holds up remarkably well, while the metal does take a bit of an impression from the ground.
[Magisk] stangri:
I have created a magisk module which enables tethering on phones where it's been disabled by the manufacturer/provider. Please post here if you have a tethering-disabled phone and can test the attached module. It should only work if the tethering has been locked down by your phone manufacturer, it will probably not help you if your provider is blocking tethering.

There are two zip files attached to this thread:

TetheringEnabler.zip -- is magisk v6 compatible.

Tethering_Enabler-10.0.0.zip -- is magisk v10 (and later) compatible.

Please post back if you have a phone with tethering disabled and it helps you, I will then push to have it listed in the official repo. I have no tethering-locked phone so I can't test it myself.

Thanks!
[Magisk] burkett375:
Hey, I'm trying this out just now and I can't seem to get it to work. I install it, reboot, but nothing there. When I try to*enable hotspot, it still is coming back as carrier blocking it.

Magisk 10.2, phh's r266-2 su,*on a*Nexus*6 running stock 7.1.2 w/ Franco kernel

Any thoughts?
[Magisk] stangri:
Oh, sorry man, I completely forgot about it. It was written for the original magisk as a cache-mod which is no longer supported (since version 9). I'l try to post an updated version soon.
[Magisk] burkett375:
Awesome - Thanks! I'm trying a different one now, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Edit: I take that back, it seems*to be working. Thanks anyway!
[Magisk] stangri:
Made the v10-compatible one. What did you try? If there's already module which does that, I'll just take mine down and/or link to it to benefit others.
[Magisk] burkett375:
It was this one:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=68402931&postcount=52

but i don't think it'll hurt to leave it up if it works...yours was the first one that came up on a google search so there might still be a benefit.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
That one is also based on an old template. The one by [MENTION=2226076]stangri[/MENTION] is much more elegant (IMHO).
[Magisk] stangri:
Thanks for posting it. Yeah, both modules do the same thing, I'll push mine to repo.
[Magisk] stangri:
But looking at that one made me realize it doesn't have to be a propmodule (as it doesn't change the system/ro prop), it can be done in post-fs-data so I now switched to that. ;)
[Magisk] AnonVendetta:
My phone (LG v10, T-Mobile) has tethering enabled, but all tethering must be approved by T-Mo when turning it on. I'm running modded stock firmware. Can this module help bypass my carrier's tethering check? If not, what can? I've tried using 3rd-party tethering apps, but when they turn on native tethering, it triggers the check. So far my carrier has detected all my attempts, even when running CM13. I am SIM-unlocked and my phone was bought from a T-Mo store, but currently my carrier is MetroPCS.

Thanks!
[Magisk] stangri:
I don't think this one would work for you -- it's only to enable tethering on the phone, I don't think it could help you bypass carrier's check. Maybe others will chime in on what can help you with that.
[Magisk] AnonVendetta:
[MENTION=2226076]stangri[/MENTION]: Thanks for the info. MetroPCS is owned by T-Mo, similar service quality, but almost 50% cheaper for essentially the same unlimited data. From what I've read, Metro's tethering policies are more strict than T-Mo's, it's basically allowed if you dont get caught. They'll tolerate a small amount, for light stuff like Web-browsing, but after that you'll get a notification. Metro cant control my tethering functionality, since it's built-in, but they can use T-Mo's servers for checking.
[Magisk] Jexx11:
So this module does not add the net.tethering.noprovisioning=true line to the build.prop file? I was just searching for a module to bypass subscription check on Verizon with my Nexus 5x and came across this thread but I wanted to double check.
[Magisk] stangri:
That's all it does. It only adds net.tethering.noprovisioning=true line to the build.prop file.
[Magisk] mahdi72:
is this work on Sprint phone? i installed this module on galaxy s6 sprint (G920P), but i cant see HotSpot Menu. how its work?
[Magisk] stangri:
Try and let us know?
[Magisk] mahdi72:
how? where is hotspot menu?
[Magisk] arealcoolhand:
I am on Cricket using my stock Nexus 6. Never looked into tethering before as Cricket restricts it unless you are on one of their higher plans and pay $10 a month extra. Previously enabling tethering would trigger a subscription check. On a whim, I decided to try this module and sure enough I can tether without issue to my tablet and Chromebook. Anyway, just wanted to note that in this case it has actually allowed me to bypass carrier restrictions. Cheers!
[Magisk] ubigred:
Which carrier are you on? Sprint?
[Magisk] snovvman:
Great work! I have it running on Pixels and 5X, all working great. They were downloaded from the repo and all is well. Thank you for sharing this module.

Where is the v11 download? I see it inside Magisk but can't find it anywhere on the web.
[Magisk] akito77:

[Magisk] kzqc:
hotspot started but no internet

Before I installed Magisk and this addon, the hotspot won't even start. With Magisk and this installed, I was able to start the hotspot, but connected wifi clients still cannot get internet.

The mobile is Moto G5 Plus unlocked (from BestBuy), with lastest stock rom.

My carrier is MintSim. The hotspot feature works (with internet) on another mobile phone with Lineage OS 14.1 .

So what is the difference between LineageOS 14.1 and this addon for the hotspot purpose? If this addon simply adds net.tethering.noprovisioning=true line to the build.prop file, is it same as LineageOS for hotspot purpose?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
[Magisk] Tshephosekhu:
Make Uninstaller for this

Make Uninstaller
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
You forgot "please"...

And besides, it's a Magisk module. You uninstall it through the Manager.

If for some reason you can't boot your device, use the Mount Magisk zip from the module collections thread and remove the module folder from /magisk manually.
[Magisk] BadBoyNDSU:
Worked great on a 6p with Nougat. Is causing boot loops on the same phone with Oreo.
[Magisk] stangri:
I need to update the template for the new magisk probably. Please try the new 14.0.0 version from repo.
[Magisk] sd_matto:
Pixel XL issues

Cannot get new 14.0.0 from repo working with a Pixel XL and the latest beta. The error message is (between the quotes):

[Magisk] stangri:
Do other modules install? If you're on Pixel, you're very likely not going to benefit from this module anyways.
[Magisk] Jexx11:
Why would they not benefit being on o Pixel?
[Magisk] sd_matto:
Yes, other modules install.

The benefit on the Pixel XL is when you use the Pixel XL with a Verizon grandfathered unlimited data plan which has no tethering option. Which is why I love your module (when it works!).
[Magisk] stangri:
I (probably incorrectly) assumed that Pixel firmware would not have tethering limitations.
[Magisk] stangri:
Weird, I've double-checked that I have the newest template and since this module only uses systems.prop file it shouldn't cause any issues. Have you tried unchecking/disabling *all* modules, rebooting and enabling only this module?
[Magisk] sd_matto:
User error.

I reinstalled magisk, then the module. It just worked after that.

Thanks

Fails to mount or install

Hi Stangri. I've tried to install your module, but it fails every time. I have a Moto G5 plus running Android 7, the latest version of Magisk, and it's v14 of tethering enabler. Any ideas? I think it fails to mount.
[Magisk] Duhman72:
Tethering Enabler module won't install on Pixel 2

Hi Stangri, I have a Pixel 2 which i rooted using the details from the Pixel 2 XL Thread (https://xdaforums.com/pixel-2-xl/development/2017-11-6-root-pixel-2-xl-t3701176) I have Magisk 14.4 and Magisk Manager 5.4.1. I try to download and install your 14.0+ module from the repo, but it gives error and fails installation.

The error states:

/data/magisk isn't setup properly!

Please install Magisk v14.0+!

Is this incompatibility due to the module version and Magisk version? Magisk is working as I have root and Safety Net checks pass, which leads me to believe it is setup properly. Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Magisk] stangri:
Sorry my bad, I've updated the module to the latest template locally, but forgot to push it to the repo. Please try version 14.0 of this module.
[Magisk] Duhman72:
*** Just saw your post above***

I bet this is why it worked when after I re-installed everything.. but hey, it was good practice for me learning how to use all these tools. Thanks again for all you guys do!

******

I saw that someone above did a complete Magisk reinstall and then it worked.. After flashing completely back to Nov Factory image and re-rooting with Magisk 14.4, I was able to install the Tethering Enabler module and it works!

Works for Pixel 2 XL on Sprint. After enabling the module, open an adb shell and enter this:

[Magisk] snovvman:
As an alternative to the module, you can use this terminal command (without quotes): "setprop net.tethering.nonprovisioning true". The setting will be effective until the next boot. For that, you can use Tasker, Automate, Automagic, or any scripting tool to issue the command on startup to achieve the same effect. For me, it is much more reliable and there is no change needed to build.prop.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
That's actually exactly the same thing that this module does, except it's done on every boot by Magisk instead of an app.
[Magisk] daviderickson:
[MENTION=2226076]stangri[/MENTION] I got an error trying to use this today with Magisk 14.5. Magisk Manager shows the latest, and installed version as 14.5. Did some packaging requirements change from 14 to 14.5? Thanks!
[Magisk] shadavis08:
14.5 is still in beta the latest stable AFAIK is 14.0

And if you read the change log it says this module is one lyrics compatible up to magisk 14.

---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 AM ----------

Has anyone tried this one on T-Mobile after going over 10gig tethering cap? I'm wondering if it would allow me to use tethering over the limit.
[Magisk] rockingondrums:
I am also curious to know if I can bypass the tethering data limit. Still on 8.0.
[Magisk] dagnisaun:
14.5 does have some changes that could break modules, see the red text here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74601830&postcount=32

but I'm not qualified to say if this is why it won't work with 14.5
[Magisk] upperbladez:
Hey, do I have to use a VPN while I'm using this so Verizon doesn't know I'm tethering?

I had a similar app on my iPhone and it was recommended to use a VPN when tethering. Please let me know. Thanks!
[Magisk] daviderickson:
Any chance we could get an update to the v15 template? Thanks!
[Magisk] Ringfinger69:
For what it's worth

Did a fresh factory reset by following this guide

https://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/how-to/guide-android-8-oreo-root-stock-rooted-t3660591

Followed:

1. Install Factory Image and wipe data

and

10. Root with Magisk - Pass SafetyNet without installing TWRP

Reason for without installing TWRP, it prevents me from "Trying" out things when I'm not at home and bricking my phone.

After Installing Magisk, verified SafetyNet Check and then installed this module (14.0.0)

Rebooted and then tested. Worked for me not sure if there was something to it, but I hope this helps!!!

This is just a temp module i made for my own use, at least until stangri update his module on repo

---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 PM ----------

Really pissing me off and I'm on Verizon prepaid so no option to even pay for tethering if I wanted to. Really need this for my job since my gps would work much better with traffic updates.
[Magisk] shadavis08:
Anyone know anything about this question?
[Magisk] daddylonglegs:
This module isn't working for me on T Mobile unfortunately. When I tether they keep detecting that I am tethering.

I've tried the module in the OP, TTL Editor to always have my TTL above 65, edited my build.prop to have net.tethering.noprovisioning=true. Nothing is working. Just the latter worked up until a month ago. Is it because I am on 8.1? The phone is a Google Pixel 2016 if it helps. I am using Magisk 14.5. Thank you for any advice!
[Magisk] mepo12:
have a pixel xl stock not rooted on oreo. really want tethering on my grandfathered verizon unlimited data plan. is this the only method that will allow me to do so?

do i have to root? or can i just install magisk manager then install this module and bypass verizon hotspot provision
[Magisk] daviderickson:
Big thanks to [MENTION=4066277]otonieru[/MENTION] for his post above that got this moving to working on v15.. I had a few problems though and it wasn't working, I made the following tweaks:

-Fixed the config.sh to mount the updated system props, you can tell it works when via a shell you run "getprop | grep tether" and it shows "[net.tethering.noprovisioning]: [true]"

-After installing the attached updated zip and rebooting, I also had to shell in via adb and run "settings put global tether_dun_required 0" on my Pixel XL for everything to work

Hope that helps others!
[Magisk] otonieru:
Erm well, magisk manager installed when you flash magisk, and when you do so, you are rooted.

And, yes, you need root to be able to edit buildprop entry. This module only help you to do it systemlessly. But still, it need superuser privillege
[Magisk] mepo12:
ah ok i was just curious if magisk could root for me so i just have to press a button instead of getting into ADB and all that
[Magisk] Ringfinger69:
I am so Sorry for the delay, so there was a mix up after i did all of the steps that i previously listed.

I jumped the gun and tested the Tethering on a spare phone. It showed the Hotspot, connected but like a dummy

I didn't check to see if the spare phone could get out on the internet. Tried it again and then noticed I couldn't get out on the internet.

I ended up doing a full factory wipe gain

setup the phone

Flashed Magisk-v14.5(1456).zip

Installed *************-v5.4.3.apk

Checked the safety net within the app.

Then i ran the following commands in command prompt (assuming you have adb setup and all the stuff). I use minimal ADB so i don't have to install the whole SDK platform.

============

adb devices

adb shell (look at your phone and GRANT SU ACCESS on your phone)

mount -o rw,remount /system

echo "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" >> /system/build.prop

mount -o ro,remount /system

reboot phone

=========================================

Wait till reboot is done and then proceed

=========================================

adb devices

adb shell (GRANT SU ACCESS)

settings put global tether_dun_required 0

reboot

I'll be honest with you, I'm really hesitant on taking OTAs and also updated the Magisk APK and Flashing a new Magisk zip. Every time i do one or the other I end of messing the whole thing up. I haven't really found a clear outline/guide on how to properly take OTAs when they are availible

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions, I'll try to help you or anyone else out.
[Magisk] firozpatel:
Hi all

I don't know if anyone can help me, I'm having trouble enabling tethering on my device

I switch it on and then turns of straight away

I installed v15 of the app on magisk v15.3

Any ideas
[Magisk] Ringfinger69:
1. You have to either pay for the that service with your carrier

2. If there is a Magisk Module for tethering and it is working for your version of Android (7.0, 7.1, 8.0, 8.1.0, etc).

3. or look at one post up i outlined everything I did in order for it to work.
[Magisk] firozpatel:
I called up the provider and he said it's included in my package, I'm on android version 6.0.1, could that be the reason? If so is there a way for me to get an app for firmware 6.0.1?
[Magisk] Ringfinger69:
Sounds like your phone needs to be provisioned by the carrier.

Someone can correct me but it's away the phone knows that on the carrier end it knows to allow that feature.

As for updating the app, it's a core feature built into Android, so you'd have to do an update through the system update.

Save your files and pictures.

Who's your carrier, I'd call the customer support and ask to speak to the tech support (level 2) those are the techs that actually can tell you about the phone and what setting to modify.

The first person you spoke to is a basic one stop to look at your account. They read from a "play book/script"
[Magisk] firozpatel:
I shall call them again, my network is EE (UK provider) he told me to reset network to default though settings did that and with no luck it still didn't work

As for updating I think I would give that a miss as I do believe it's either the network or magisk v15.3 as my tethering used to work before when I was on a different provider and if I recall magisk v14.0 +
[Magisk] pocholo36:
Figured I would post to save others time. Mobile Hotspot is specifically blocked by Verizon for single-line unlimited plans like mine.
