I tried. Went through the steps and no data with tether. Then I cycled my data and again turned on tether and I had data with tether. Then I turned off tether and I had no data. Had to cycle again.

Strange. I appreciate the work and help, I will just stick with cycling my data. Its not a big deal when I have WIFI most of the time anyway.

Wanted to come here from the non-Edge side of things and say/press Thanks. I just received a new S7 from Sprint yesterday and, though these instructions did not work on Marshmallow (PK1, PL6), they work fine on Nougat (QAA).

Details: On a Sprint Galaxy S7 (non-edge) under Marshmallow, tethering is definitely unlocked by this procedure and DHCP works okay; However, masquerading doesn't happen. Packets from tethered devices go nowhere despite carefully following the "mobile data off/hotspot on/mobile data on" order. I grudgingly updated to Nougat while concerned that it couldn't possibly work. Lo and behold, it routes traffic just fine from tethered devices after following your instructions.

Thanks once again for saving me the trouble of flashing to the U firmware just to get unfettered tethering going. I'm the dad of a nomadic family. Sprint/Verizon are our only internet connectivity most of the time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Bdozier:
OK. So it is not something that I can live with. Phone is really lagging. Can anyone advise if resetting will fix the modified codes?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] bodyshop:
You guys that are having trouble with this, are you using the original instructions number 5-8 or the alternative number 5-8. I believe its an either or thing, not for you to do both..I'm just curious as to which ones users are following that have it working and which ones aren't working.

sent from my Wicked S4/S6 hybrid
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] daddymikey1975:
I've performed every step along the way without resetting and haven't experienced any lag whatsoever.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Bdozier:
Thanks. I am sure it is a simple fix. But can you tell me if a factory reset will reset the codes? So I don't do something needless?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] lvpre:
Same here. I just can't get phone data and tether data to work simultaneously. It is either one or the other.

EDIT: Does anyone have tether data and phone data working simultaneously? If not...try this method:

Follow steps 1 thru 5a from the OP. For 5b, type the following:

settings put global tether_dun_apn "APNDUN,n.ispsn,,,,,,,,,310,120,,default,mms,dun"

Basically, I just add default,mms

You still have to do the turn data off, turn hotspot on, turn data on for it to work and cycle again when you disconnect.

Anyway, if anyone is struggling, please try it out and let me know...maybe we can get the OP to update the first post if it works for others.

Edit 2: I think this new method will allow hotspot to connect automatically without the data cycle. You only have to do the data cycle when you disconnect the hotspot. Can someone confirm?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Bdozier:
So, I must apologize to the OP. I was having some issues prior to running this method such as apps not working at all or force closing. But no real lag. After I did the method, I can only assume that it was timing, the phone started to really lag bad. I factory data reset my phone and left it a couple of days to see how it did. Worked perfectly. Today, I tried this method again and so far, it is working great.

So, all of the issues I had were not related to this method and it works great.

I dont know what im doing. If i am wrong but i cant get anything done, I've tried two different computers and im having a problem when i type in the cmd and try to run adb shell i get a flash of lines saying it connected to the phone or I'll get a null for connect.

Please if anyone can give a youtube walk through or a noob write out. I would really appriciate your kind help.

Also im running G935PVPU4BQAA if that matters.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Bdozier:
I ran into something similar. I had a popup on my phone when I ran the adb shell that I had to "ok" and then ran the shell again. Worked after that. Hope that helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] lvpre:
Yes, you have to give it permission. If adb devices says unauthorized, you have to clear usb debugging by revoking permission
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] ilandboi14:
When i plug into the computer it prompts for connection type such as mtp and if i ignore it ill get a connection. But after i run "adb shell" in cmd

It'll give me a device null.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Bdozier:
I allowed MTP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] ilandboi14:
Alright so i thought it was my usb cable so I've tried different kinds and I've even done many restarts.

When i run adb shell in cmd it shows me daemon is running but i dont get device connection. I keep getting hit with null or after i get a connection, i dont know where i type the settings to change apn requirements
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Merufs:
It's the same. Nothing helps

Fix.

I used to do this on PC. Now I've tried everything on a laptop with Windows 10 x64, everything works! When installing adb, just in case, disables the digital signature verification drivers. Therefore, I advise you to reinstall adb with the disabling of the digital signature verification drivers in Windows.

Can anyone confirm the speed is the same after activating hotspot?

maybe a speed test then connect then speed test on connected device. it seems my speed gets slower when activating the hot spot, BUT it may be a placebo

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] daddymikey1975:
How much slower? Might be a little due to the routing. I'll check when my son wakes up.

Can anyone help me pls...im having a problem with the hotspot..i am losing connection all the time an don't know why...dont think it's the tv as my wife can connect her phone an it works just fine..any help would be great thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] vinhdizzo:
Thanks for this. I followed the first set up instructions on the 1st post and Hotspot works for me. Posting this via the Hotspot itself :). No problems at all.

I can also confirm that the solution persists after the phone has been restarted.

The Mobile off, Hotspot on, Mobile on sequence is not that painful and I could live with it. Thanks again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Robalboa:
I typed this is instead and my hotspot works with one toggle off and on, on plus phone data and hotspot both work simultaneously AND when i shut it off it goes back to normal by itself

in the line that looks similar to this use this code: settings put global tether_dun_apn "APNDUN,n.ispsn,,,,,,,,,310,120,,default,mms,dun"

thanks to paul and the other guy that made the other thread lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] donbudafuko:
Ok thanks I'll check it out cuz as of right now everything that I connect to it it losses connection at some point
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Robalboa:
it look like i have a space in dun for some reason but theres no spaces. follow all other instructions except use that for the apn. then all you have to do

is turn on hotspot toggle data off then on and wallla

when your done just shut it off nothing else needed. also data on phone while on hotspot good luck

Hey guys, will this work on sprint s7 running nougat? I've tried all the recommended codes and I don't get anything working for me. Trying to see if I've missed something or perhaps this doesn't work on the s7. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] nhpd4101:
Thanks to the OP. I feel like an idiot and wasted a lot of time getting this wrong before i finally figured it out and got things right. Maybe my pointing it out will save somebody else some trouble. I was mis-typing the n.ispsn without the second 'S' which does not work! Everything in post 1 is accurate and worked!! From g930pvps4bqc1 march 1 patch.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] cjrivera04:
You got this working on your s7? All you did was follow the first post? I tried it several times. I wonder what I missing? You're on Noguat right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] nhpd4101:
Correct I have a sprint s7 930p that I use on sprint but had flashed 930u on for the last 2 months or so but nextradio doesn't work on 930u and it just got a 95mb patch that seemed to hit my battery hard and no timeline on nougat so I switched back to 930p then it got a 50mb patch after I loaded it while restoring all my apps etc. I had wondered if the patch wrecked this but it didnt. I've never used adb before so it took several tries of typing to get it exactly the same as the instructions. Like i said I overlooked n.ispsn second s required (I kept typing ispn). Also the rest of that string you have to type in 5b is really long and I goofed it up several times as well. Persistence paid off for me! Good luck!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] lvpre:
One time I had to reboot before it would work. Make sure you are typing the ispsn part correctly. A lot of people leave out the the second S

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] izzibew26:
Just fyi, you can root, make the changes, then return to stock. Changes will keep. I'm by no means an expert but that seems like a stretch for adb without root access.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Kidmet:
Just got a new update (QD2). Will this stick?

Update:

Took the plunge and updated, the hotspot still worked when toggling data off, turning on hotspot, and toggling data back on. Only tested it for 1 or 2 minutes, but doesn't seem to have broken the changes made earlier.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] brandner88:
Another method that works for me is having WiFi turned on (doesn't need to be connected to a network, but can be) and just turning hotspot on straight away, without toggling data. The only thing that happens is once you turn hotspot off, data on the phone is gone until you power cycle, even if it shows it's connected to LTE (unless you are connected to a wifi network)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Robalboa:
I can confirm this has stuck through 2 updates for me

im in the same situation
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] kurt424:
I have the 10 gig hotspot plan with Sprint. I used this method anyway and it still works. Everything works fine. If you reach your ten gigs up in a month then do the toggle and it shows up on your cellular data instead of hotspot. I did notice that after using regular hotspot the data connection for phone is lost until you restart it. :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] pakidermo5000:
Thanks [MENTION=8099997]paul2112[/MENTION] for this explanation.

I have wasted 10$ already on this, everytime I set hotspot my carrier charges me 5$.

I am on an European S7 (Exynos) with root and Nougat on Superman rom.

I understand that your method works for Sprint users as it contains the address for Sprint access point. However, I am trying to apply it to my case.

If I understand it correctly, I need to:

[B]Step1 [/B]: Disable dun requirement
settings put global tether_dun_required 0

[B]Step 2: [/B]Overwrite dun APN.
By methods 5 or 5b in your post.
3. Turn off Mobile Data
4. Turn on HotSpot
5. Turn on Mobile Data

I did step 1, but after reboot it is set back to 1, I guess "by the overlord". How can I overcome this? Does it have to do with dm-verify?

Then, in step 2

Since my phone is not carrier-locked I can modify the APN, and I can add "dun" to the APN type, this does stick after reboot but you say it can create problems. Is better to create another APNDUN with the same address and just of type dun and only IPV4?, by default it is IPV4 and IPV6.

Before wasting another 5 bucks I wanted to ask you what you think is the best method. Remember, tethering_dun_required is set back to 1 after reboot. Should I do it without rebooting?

I appreciate your answer.

cheers
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] djxn40:
I added ,dun for weeks now and not one negative effect. Love it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] pakidermo5000:

What is the fall back option if the commands don't work and "messes up" the Pixel? Can I do a factory reset?

global tether_dun_required

and

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] robchow:
Yay! Replying to my own post. The steps in the OP didn't work on the Pixel XL (NKG47L). I was able to submit the codes to the pixel and those stayed after a reboot. The issue is that can't turn on the hotspot (yes I did turn off mobile/cellular data). The message is "Service not supported. Please contact your service provider." It would appear that the code in steps 5a didn't bypass.

5. Enable the bypass

a. Disable the DUN requirement

settings put global tether_dun_required 0

Looking through the global settings, I noticed subscription_mode is 0; anyone know what this is for? I am wondering whether subscription 0 means no subs added and if turned to 1, subs (tethering subscription) is on. I didn't get to try this as it was late in the evening/early morning.

For those that are interested, the command to see current settings is

settings list global

To remove the inputted commands

settings delete global tether_dun_required

settings delete global tether_dun_apn
