My S5 is rooted. It has nothing wrong with it. Out of nowhere it stopped being able to be identified when I tether it. I have changed nothing. It worked flawlessly for six months. My 4G plan allows unlimited tethering. So what gives?
Can someone help me fix this as its really annoying? I get the error on all PCs running Windows. It happens with hotspot and USB tethering.
No help eh? Nice community this. I guess delete this mods as no one cares.
Hello? Help someone. Need help.
Both mine and my wife's 6p's are not able to access the internet while a call is in progress. My phone is unlocked & rooted, however my wife's is complete stock so I know that can't be the issue. I've also tried disabling the "enhanced" calling with LTE under cellular networks on both devices and this doesn't fix the issue, either. We're on Verizon, for what it's worth. Is anyone else experiencing this? If so what carrier are you on? Thanks!
EDIT: Fixed it for anyone else who comes across a similar issue: after going into my Verizon online and adding the Advanced calling 1.0 feature to my line, then rebooting my phone, and waiting a few minutes, things automagically started working.

Just bumping because I had the same issue and this fixed it.
Thanks
Hi, I'm having the same issue with a stock Nexus 6P on Verizon. However, I can't find Advanced Calling 1.0 anywhere. I found 'HD Voice' on Verizon and added it to my plan, and made sure the 'Enhanced 4G LTE Mode' is on and it still doesn't work. I've rebooted many times, no luck. Any ideas? I read somewhere that it may depend on what kind of tower you are on, does anyone have any more information about that or what I can do to make this work? I also still have unlimited data and I use my hotspot all the time, so this is a real problem. Thanks!
I am bumping this thread. I have unlimited data under the Verizon grandfathered plan. Does turning this feature on count as a change to my account and possibly mess with my unlimited data status?
Anyone else with a similar problem? I am also using an unlimited data plan under Verizon. I have the feature turned on and still have data dropout every time I am on a call. This has been present ever since the 6.0.1 update for me.....
If anyone knows a workaround please share. The Note 7 had a glitch when using WiFi sharing for HotSpot to work. I hope one of you smart people find a way. I need it for work.....Only reason I root is for battery life and hotspot......Man I hope we get root or HotSpot working. Thanks !!!! Never had an LG before and this thing is a beast !

Do you have issues with the V20? Do you have tethering in your mobile plan? Are you using it on AT&T?

Is yours an AT&T version? If so you'll have to have to have it part of your plan.

No issues with the V20 at all...Best phone I've ever had. I'm on At&t unlimited.

Yes At&t......I will need root then because I'm unlimited data....This sucks......If I want to use my data by tethering, I should be able too. This is dumb
In the same boat with Verizon on unlimited. Foxfi works, but only via USB (cable connected) or Bluetooth (slow ~1 Mbps). I love this phone, but miss being able to use the Hotspot for the rare times I need it.
I believe there is a beta feature on the pdanet USB client on the PC side that will allow a hotspot generated from the computer attached via USB. Clunky but better than nothing if you have other devices that need access to the connection in a stationary setting for now.

And this is why carriers are requesting phones to be locked down harder than Fort Knox

Its already a lot of money, why not just let us have that? Stupid imho\
Thanks for the help ..WIll use FoxFi / PDA USB with cable for now. Good looking out!!
I'm really looking forward to a solution for this. I've been holding on to my old S5 since I haven't been able to find a newer removable-battery phone that allows for rooted hotspot usage on the old grandfathered unlimited plan :/
Now that we have root, I wonder how we can enable this?
I use to just change a couple of numbers in buildProp on other phones (Rom Toolbox .prop)
Any help would be appreciated
EDIT:
Found the below info but I don't think it will work. I DID NOT try this but it is tempting.
4. Connect your phone to your PC and issue the below commands:
adb shell
echo "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" >> /system/build.prop
adb reboot
5. Now, install Terminal Emulator app from the Play Store [HERE] and launch it.
6. In Terminal Emulator, enter below code one by one:
su
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
exit

Yeah I'm not entirely sure how we might be able to get it to work. I've tried adding dun to the APN - edited the build.prop and added the lines you put above into the build.prop file. Those worked to no avail.
I edited the line inside build.prop "ro.build.target_operator=ATT". I changed ATT to "OPEN", and that did happen to allow tethering. But from the devices I connected to my phone - they were unable to connect to the internet. It was almost like ATT was blocking service of tethering. I didn't try to do all of those edits at the same time though. Perhaps maybe then?

Yeah I tried using all three of those methods - but it seems like only the method of turning the ro.build.target_operator to OPEN avoids the "Authorizing" screen and lets the Tethering turn on. But while the phone is still able to access the internet, the other devices cannot access the internet - having DNS issues.
I'm curious if perhaps the "system/app/Entitlementcheck-" app retrieves a token to allow other devices to connect, and using "OPEN" makes it so the entitlementcheck application is not even used. Not sure entirely how it works. I've seen in other device sections, such as the Pixel, where someone edited the phone's own entitlementcheck app equivalent to let them use tethering (here). Not sure if it would be possible to something similar here.

Wow...Sounds a little harder than it use to be. Nice digging man, sounds like your on the right trail that's for sure. I'm also sure with time someone (or you) might figure something out. Until then, I'm using PDAnet with cord. Better than nothing for the office PC

I have the US996 unlocked version my build.prop ro.build.target_operator=NAO I have hotspot so i decided to change it to ATT because im using att i wanted the att signal icon I did get the att signal icon however i noticed my tethering option was gone so i changed it back to NAO instead of ATT
I am on sprint. And i rooted my v20 phone. I am on unlimited also. But sprint gives me 5gb tether for free on my plan. Then they slow you down. The built in tether did not work after root. So i had bought a app called Wi-Fi tether router. And it works.
Re: Work around
Were you able to find a way to root the LG V20 or find a way to get around the tethering and hotspot block/ authorization??? Please Help !! I have no idea how to root but I heard there is a minor root I can do but not sure how to do it and DEF dont want to mess my phone up.... Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

I just did this and you solved one of my pet peeves but not my tethering issues.
The phones still connect to my phone however they have no internet while tethering.
What you did solve is (by changing the prop to NAO vs ATT) is removing the annoying carrier name on the left side of the screen and also removed the annoyingly large ATNT 4G symbol. Instead its a neatly placed, small 4glte icon.
This issue is still persisting even after changing the tether enforcement to 0 from 5 in the system xml
As the title states, I am looking for a way to use the "wifi sharing" feature that the Galaxy S7 and S7E's come with. Verizon appears to have not liked the idea of us using our phones as wifi repeaters, to tether a wifi signal from one to another. To be clear, I am not discussing a mobile Hotspot to tether your Mobile Data to another device, I am talking about sending a wifi connection from my S7 to another device.
Does anyone havery a work around? I am currently rooted and running stang5litre's V2 ROM. Thanks in advance.
Would likely require a framework edit or replacement (unlikely it's an easy swap) from another carriers rom. There's a tiny chance it's a system.prop or build.prop property that you could edit with a root file editor but I doubt it :/ Out of curiosity what on earth is your usecase for this? I ask this as a genuine question as someone in IT who uses hot spot all the time and I believe Sterling's rom has that enabled on non-tethered plans?
I would also like to know this information.
Could you explain "wifi sharing" a little better?
I have had Samsung phones for a while and have never seen that feature.
Wifi is either connected to a hotspot / router or peer to peer adhoc.
Are you wanting to have a internet connection from cellular or wifi or not at all?
Tagged for continued interest.
I just want to know how you rooted your phone...
Hey guys I was just wondering how I could get hotspot to work on this phone with cricket wireless
Without root. I always thought as long as the phone was unlocked it would let you hotspot without a plan. Not really wanting to Root my phone right now and FoxFi isn't working right now thanks
