I'd like to second that the process with shortcut master lite worked for me also. The "APN type" was greyed out for me also but I tapped on it and it let me edit it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discu] midmofan:
Same for me. Even though "greyed out" was still able to edit with shortcut master. And, here is the interesting part, the wifi hotspot is now working much better than before the Oreo upgrade. Much more stable, not dropping off or timing out like it was before.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discu] Acedooncoon:
Tried this and it worked....Thanks!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discu] tmwilsoniv:
Fascinating.

Initially after the Oreo update, I was able to edit APN settings via Shortcut Master. As of this morning, Shortcut Master opened the APN setting dialog but no go on edit. Nothing greyed out, just dead keys, so to speak. Followed kgbedge's instructions to ##BRAND# and Shortcut Master works just like before. Thank you, kgbedge!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discu] HeatherP:
Hi! Does the phone need to be rooted for this to work? And do I need to have the paid Shortcut Master app?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discu] kgbedge:
No root required, and the apk is free.

I'm on Oreo, and received the April security patch the other day.........still works for me. If your APN settings are grayed out, do the ##BRAND# on your phone keypad.

This was the only method that worked for me after trying others I looked up online. You're the best thanks!!!

What is the whole process I just downloaded shortcutmaster so now what do I do to edit the apn settings and what not?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discu] SayWhat10:
hit search

search for LTE

then launch it

then add ,DUN after the mms part, no spaces

Same here! I can't even share wifi connection through hotspot anymore. Before I could share wifi through hotspot setting even without having to hack but now I get the not subscribed error.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discu] wackydroid:
Did it all correctly...

Tried all the steps, as before, including ##BRAND#, but after a reboot, I open Shortcut Master, get to com.test.ltefunctionality, but when I tap it and hit LAUNCH nothing whatsoever happens except an ad comes up, but when I x it, it does not take me to the editor.

Any suggestions? I need the hotspot...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discu] mikelsbid:
And with access to APN's do you mean manually creating them? I installed via the process you mentioned and I cant edit the existing APN's. Is there a way to simply edit them if I have followed the process outlined below? It seemed that Sprint provisions the phone shortly after the installation completes.

Thank you for any help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discu] ycats:
How about getting this to work on PIE?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discu] mikelsbid:
Thanks, I was able to get an APN created manually and it appears to work. However it seems very slow, I have not been able to test in a strong LTE area yet, but the few areas I have tested are slower than I recall before. Have you noticed any speed changes?

Secondly do you have WifiCalling or VOLTE options in your menus? I can not seem to locate them, and thought that the options I had installed would have included at least the WifiCalling.

Does your phone have those settings? I have been reluctant to make any other changes so far.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discu] mikelsbid:
Well I updated my phone from the U1 into the sprint carrier specific update. It left my prior created apn intact. Additionally I updated another from oreo to the Sprint pie. It appeared to also leave all the apns in tact. So as of now my phones are each updated and letting me hotspot.

This dd give me Wificalling and the option to LTE calling (beta)

Note that I did this via Odin and used the latest SPR version from updato. Not sure if this will work for others, just relaying it did for me.

Works with any version on android even android 9

I have unlimited hotspot

This method only works if you own your phone.

Call sprint tell them you want to unlock your phone

Once they are done dial ##data#

Click edit

Pin: 000000

Click apn settings

Click add (if you can't click add, update profile and prl in setting and reboot or dial ##brand# and click yes)

Call it whatever (sprint custom)

Clone your other apn for sprint for each setting

Under apn type add dun with no spaces

EXP: default,mms,dun

Save the apn and choose it

That's it

Don't update your profile or you will have to select the custom again. You can update your prl all you want tho.

Works after PIE update

This is working. I’ve done this on both wife’s and my phone. Keys to note:

1 - Must be unlocked !!! (From Sprint)

2 - Didn’t have to make/copy a new apn setting.

3 - Did have to update profile and prl in setting and reboot or dial ##brand#.

4- I just clicked on the far left side of the apn setting and it allowed me to just add the “,dun” to the apn type.

Things I noticed was that if the apn setting already had the ,dun added prior to updating to PIE the the one phone I had kept the settings. Didn’t have to mess around with any of this. It just kept everything and worked as advertised after PIE update.

Hope this helps someone

Just wondering what do you guys use. I've always used a case. But thinking of just using tempered glass with a skin. I know it will be prone to cracking the back. But the skin can cover it right? So I'll just pray the tempered glass saves my screen if I ever drop it. Thoughts?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] GallardosEggrollShop:
I have a Spiegen NeoHybrid, Samsung Alcantera, and Samsung this plastic case that I alternate between. But right now I'm using a DBrand skin on the back of it. I've never been a fan of cases and I'm taking my chances with the skin but it does increase the grip of it compared to the glass back. I don't use a screen protector because I haven't found one that feels quiet the same to write on using the S-Pen compared to a naked display. I feel putting anything on the screen reduces the touch sensitivity as well.

I started with the (official) Samsung Rugged Cover, got tired of the bulk after a couple months and switched to a substantially thinner PEEL case. After about a month realized that the extremely thin PEEL case wasn't offering any better protection than a wrap/skin, I installed a "full body" wrap. That lasted all of about 5 frustrated minutes.

I enrolled in Samsung+ Care and will let them "cover" my beautiful, bare, Note8 should something happen.

[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Okahuma:
Long story short, didn't backup before everything, hard bricked with an OTA, recovered only by blankflashing and flashing the feb2018 gpt.bin (NPJS25.93-14-15) and then since I don't have the ROM for NPJS25.93-14-15, I flashed everything else from NPJS25.93-14-13.

Phone is working. Got TWRP in there, made a backup this time. Installing Magisk softbricks it, but that I'm trying to solve in another thread. Got the backup before trying to install Magisk anyways so I don't make it harder on myself to OTA.

I'd like to be able to do OTA updates, mainly due to the KRACK vulnerability that was solved with NPJS25.93-14-15.

The issue is: how do I get the phone back to the same version on everything? Afaik, I can't downgrade the gpt.bin to NPJS25.93-14-13 (when I try, I get the security downgrade error leading to a remote failure), which means I would have to bring everything to NPJS25.93-14-15 straight up? Can I do that without hardbricking again? As in, flash back the recovery from NPJS25.93-14-13 (the only thing that is not stock is twrp) and straight up do the update ignoring the fact that my gpt.bin is already from the version I will be updating to?

TL, DR Can a phone with NPJS25.93-14-15 gpt.bin and everything else NPJS25.93-14-13 make the OTA update to NPJS25.93-14-15? Can one downgrade gpt.bin somehow?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] segra246x:
Did you find a solution for your problem? Maybe it's possible to flash all patched files manually to bring all to NPJS25.93-14-15??
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
1)If you revert back to NPJS25.93-14-13 fully, you should be okay to use the OTA update to NPJS25.93-14-15. This only will work as NPJS25.93-14-13 is the firmware directly preceding the Feb 2018 update. Using a firmware older than this may well cause a hard brick when you try to OTA update. However, you must fully re-flash or revert to a completely clean stock firmware build - no TWRP, no root etc. Unlocked bootloader does not matter. Easiest way would be to fastboot flash the stock NPJS25.93-14-13 ROM

2)Yeah, generally you cannot downgrade GPT or bootloaders - this is the underlying cause of bricks, as flashing old firmware results in applying old OTA updates, which corrupt your bootloader. However, in this case you're applying an OTA update that is as newer or newer than your existing system, so you should be okay.

3) You could in theory flash the Feb 2018 stock ROM - this is not been fully verified but some users have been able to successfully flash it. Verify this first before flashing: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75961872&postcount=716

4)Rooting on stock Nougat on our devices requires a custom kernel. Attempts to root on the stock Motorola Nougat kernel appears to trip anti-rooting protections and so causes the boot failures you've mentioned. You'll have to flash the stock firmware, apply the update, then flash/boot TWRP, then flash ElementalX (or another custom kernel) then magisk.

Hi, a few days ago I manually checked for updates on my Galaxy A7 2017 and found a new update was available. I updated immediately,since it was the first update I received in a long time, and was excited with the new features this update was supposed to bring. (Selfie Focus, mask effects, etc.), but none of these appeared as an option, I'm able to download mask filters, but when I try to use them, nothing happens.

My device jumped from October 2017 security revision to February 2018, so that maybe has something to do? :confused:
