I have an s7 edge and 2 S7, the S7 Edge the hotspot is right where I expect it to be, settings>Hotspot and Tethering.
Where the hell is it on the S7? I cannot find it anywhere.
Without a hotspot plan you can't use hotspot anymore. Trust me I've been trying since i got the s7 edge for sprint with no luck
It works fine on my s7e.
I have the S7 and the setting is there but you won't be able to toggle it unless you've done the APN edits with your MSL. There is already a guide here in the forums nohow to do it...in fact I'm using the tethering right now as I type while my boys are using my LTE connection.
Also I forgot to add that if you update your PRL and Profile, that you will have to do the Hotspot mod over again.
I just dont have the wifi and tether option in settings anymore, where is it now?

My s7 is the same as you listed. Sprint
Has anyone tried to use the FoxFi app? Maybe this is a way to get Hotspot access?
one option is to install the unlocked s7 firmware g930u to get the setting back, but no guarantees if it'll work if sprint doesn't allow it on your plan. i dont know otherwise why some sprint s7 have the feature present and some don't
Download nova launcher, add an activity widget to the homescreen... scroll down to settings and find the hotspot icon to add to your desktop. Should give you all your hotspot settings. Hope this helps if it wasnt resolved for you yet.

or u flash another rom(not att)
I have flashed the g935u firmware on my g935v device. I had root and flashed the wifi and verizon visual voice mail. I lost volte and wifi calling after since im not using verizon. I use Metropcs which is t-mobile , I need to use my hotspot as I dont have internet at my house and I pay for unlimited internet on my phone. I have unrooted and now am using the stock rom g935u. There was a ton of lag on the rom and freezing from time to time as well as overheating at one point. I bought fox-fi and wifi tether router already which have worked on my previous devices.(wifi tether router: tmobile note 3,tmobile s6 edge +,fox fi verizon note edge). I need help in obtaining unlimited hotspot via wifi on this device. I have pda net working good via usb tethering, I'm actually using it right now. I also dont have cable as I used netflix with a chromecast to watch movies(besides the over the air channels) I need some help please and thank you:good:
Well I finally found a solution. It does involve connecting the phone to a computer via usb and running pda.net( paid version) with WiFi sharing. I can now watch unlimited Netflix via chromecast with no vpn. Completely stock g935u rom on a g935v device BTW. All this without rooting the device and having the issues that comes along with root at the moment. Works great! Wooohooo!
I have the old unlimited plan (VZW grandfathered plan). I want to be able to hotpot as well as get wifi calling (I am often in an area with poor coverage).
I heard you can hotspot with an unlocked S8/note etc. but most of the posts say you loose advanced/wifi calling and can only get advanced calling if you install the verizon ROM.
Been scouring the forums -- has anyone figured out how to get wifi calling and hotspot with the old VZW UDP??? I really need both!
Thanks a bunch!
I was able to use hotspot on unlocked Verizon S8 G950U phone it was in the pull-down menu, but I read all VZW phones come unlocked these days. Also, I used to be on the grandfathered plan and switched to StraightTalk Wireless which resells the Verizon Network unlimited data for $55/mo!
I have a new VZW S8 and still have my GUDP..
All i want is Wi-Fi Hotspot unlocked.. to the point where I'm thinking about starting a bounty thread..
Anyone.... Please....
Maybe this thread will help you get Hotspot working...

My T-Mobile 6T has been great so far, but when I used the hotspot earlier today I was disappointed by the wireless tethering speeds. I popped the SIM card back into my old phone (unlocked Mate 9) and, although wireless speeds were slower overall, the tethering was much faster. I attempted to edit the APN settings, but everything was grayed out. I was able to add my own APN, but when attempting to enter 'APN type' received a message saying "Carrier does not allow adding APNs of type dun." Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this? Is T-Mobile trying to get me to pay more for 4G tethering by somehow slowing my hotspot to below 3G speeds? Would the international ROM be able to circumvent this?
Thanks
if you're paying for 4G tethering, then call T mobile and ask for help
If you're trying to steal it without paying for it, thats a different story

Not trying to steal 4G, just wondering why the 6T's hotspot is slow much slower than my old phone when the the phone itself is so much more capable. My Mate 9 gets closer to full 3G speeds (500Kbps) when tethering.
Thanks
The only stealing that would be going on is the carrier trying to get him to pay for the same data twice.
