Always cautious on updates at my end. One never knows what manufacturers and service providers are up to.

Apple comes to mind as of late.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
With major updates...a factory reset is suggested to resolve most issues...not sure about BQL9...but if someone starts at AQH7 and then updates to AQI5 then to BQJB then to BQK3 then to BQL9, there are bound to be some issues...I suggest backing everything up, either with adb backup or apps like helium, and Google and Samsung and factory reset for large updates or if there are any small glitches...I also watch out for running apps that may be the cause of glitches, especially when the update is a new OS like Oreo...apps may not be compatible yet...

Ok guys my hotspot is finally broken and not working on my Sprint Note 8. I have installed the latest ota update BRA6 just now. It was working on BQL9 with out issues. The hotspot does activate and shows its active with out errors but when I go on a device to connect to it the wifi does not show up on the list of connections available.

Alright. After playing around with the settings I found that I can't use protected wifi anymore but I can use open only (unprotected). I also changed the SSID as well. My problem was that after updating for some reason my SSID was not being broadcasted. After changing the name and changing to open seemed to do the trick. When I try protected it will not broadcast and when I do this it will not broadcast unless I change the name again and open. Tell me about broken hotspot sheesh... But just glad it works =)

Gray does not equal no edit! (maybe)

NOTE To all dealing with OREO:

Just because the APN setting is "grayed out" in Shortcut Master does not necessarily mean you cannot edit it. Myself and others (in other threads) have the setting grey in Shortcut Master but it STILL let me edit it and hotspot working fine. Actually hotspot working better with OREO than it was before!

doesn't work on AT&T oreo

I wish I could I get hotspot working on att stock oreo. I've tried everything I can think of such as....

BK disabling both tethering services and clearing their data. If I disable the tether provision service then nothing works so best I could do is clear data. And Reboots at different time

the old nougat trick: connect to wifi with wrong password and enable hotspot quickly (used to work for me).

the adb tether provision put to 0 and null

I got the laptop connected to the hotspot at one point with wifi sharing disabled but no network for the computer to reach the internet

I even resorted to sim card tricks and enabling hotspot at different time.

tried all the shortcut master and LTE Test settings to get to apn screen and the ##DATA# and ##BRAND# (neither work on att)

I still can't edit the APN setting. I can add an apn but as soon as I type 'dun' it won't save the profile. I've even tried other sims. :(

I guess my only recourse is to load XAA FW?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
