Can anyone confirm if FoxFi works on the S7e on VZW?
I really want to get this phone but not being able to use FoxFi would be a deal breaker. I'm constantly using my phone as a hotspot.
Thanks
Yes, works fine.

Does anyone know if foxfi still works with the newest software update for s7 edge?
Why would you need FoxFi? The S7 can act as a Wifi hospot as standard.
How can you get WiFi hotspot working without subscribing to it? When you enable hotspot it pops up and says you don't subscribe. I would love to know how to get around that without actually having to pay more. I already have unlimited on 4 phones. seems a little stupid to pay even more for the 2-3 times a month actually used. I could never get FoxFi working either.. acts like it does but never does
No longer working for the new update 7.0. Is there root I can install to get a hotspot on my phone? Verizon S7 edge.
Thank you
I've had Verizon for years I stopped using them cause they made me get rid of my unlimited back in September. I used FoxiFi years with Verizon. So I went to cricket for $70 a month, now I pay $55 with auto pay with cricket and with this S7 edge international version get hotspot too. Cricket don't offer unlimited data with hotspot so I scored big time save $$$$$

I need to know because I am being told by tmobile a classic plan exists and there is no throttle. I ask because I use like 40gb a month on sprint. And yes I need all that data my home isp sucks.
Yes there is a unlimited non caped plan. I use it my self
This should have been q&a

I don't understand why you would ask us for confirmation when you were told the answer straight by T-Mobile.

In all seriousness, yes, they have an unlimited "4g" data plan. I forget how much it costs, I think $30/month. They just started it in September or so.

There is a $30/month pre-paid plan for 100 minutes, unlimited text, and unlimited data (5 GB @ 4G speed). You can also get unlimited 4G data on plans for an extra $20-$30/month depending on what phone plan you're on.

Yeah I meant $30/month for just the data part. Not including the minutes/texts/etc
They have an unlimited Value Plan and an Unlimited Classic Plan that offer no throttling. The Value Plan is a bit cheaper, while the Classic Plan is more expensive but lets you subsidize phones over 2 years. The Value Plan also lets you subsidize phones, and the best part is if you bring your own phone, you can get a cheaper rate. It's $69.99 for Unlimited Nationwide 4G on the Value plan, and $89.99 Unlimited Nationwide 4G on the Classic Plan.
You're better off going to a store and asking a rep, or calling 611 from a T-Mobile phone. It is their job to answer this type of question.
However, to my knowledge, it seems everyone has been providing the correct answer so far to support what you already heard.

No need to ask anyone.. T-Mobile told him, and so did a handful of members. I have it myself.
I just got mine with the T-Mobile prepaid $30 plan and I don't have signal in my apartment/condo which apparently T-Mobile doesn't support with their signal booster thing. Is there anything I can do?

Switch to prepaid that uses att? I tried T-Mobile knowing that I would be roaming all the time and was going to ride it out until they kicked me off for excessive roaming(they don't have service here, only roaming), but it turns out that I didn't get any data at all when I was roaming. Now using atts towers works perfectly.

Reading again, it looks like they do have service there but just not in your apartment? If that's the case then I dunno about increasing your signal
AT&T is throttling the crap out of me after i hit the 5GB ceiling; normally im in an area where i get 3Mbps down/1Mbps up; now im at 512kbps down/512kbps up MAX.
Is there a way around it via APN settings? i tried a few from the Note II; none have done jack crap. also only tried them AFTER being throttled. Never attempted changing APN settings before. Thanks!
Yep been there and tried different APNs nothing worked. You can however make a change to your plan. Like switch data plan and that will reset your bandwidth usage. But if your on Unlimited you probably don't want to give it up. Or if you have a friend with an iPhone switch with them for a few hours that will change your data plan. Good luck.

what about switch with different android (old Atrix 4G)? no iphone people around i am on grandfathered unlimited.
The only other option you have is to use as much data as you can now and stick it to them. I went over because a dumb app, and they wouldn't reset anything for me. It sucks going 3 weeks on dial-up.

checked and still nada; yeah sucks bigtime my internet here is 1mbps down/512kbps up so sadly 4G is usually 2-3x faster.
thanks a ton for helping tho; hopefully i can get it worked out. i USED to be capped at 3GB; i have grandfathered unlimited. i get throttled here every time i went over 3GB with the S3, now at 5GB (once so far) with the S 4. Could it be because i am rooted? (wild random thought; on latest software from ATT)
I'm on unlimited data plan. When I'm throttled I asked to switch to the unlimited visual voicemail data plan and then I'm unthrottled. Then when I hit 5 GB and get throttled on the unlimited visual voicemail data plan, I call back and ask to be have visual voicemail taken off and they put me back on the regular unlimited data plan and I'm unthrottled again. I repeat these steps as needed when. Lol. You basically switch back between the regular unlimited data and visual voicemail unlimited.
I've been doing this since the 3gb cap days and it works every time.

What? Visual voicemail is free so you're only paying for your data plan. The regular unlimited data plan and the visual voice unlimited data plan are both $30. You can't lose unlimited because they are both unlimited plans...You're only switching between them. But you need to call them and tell them you either want visual voicemail on or off but keep your unlimited plan.

ok ill try that; im grandfathered so i dont want to rock the boat too much and lose it. thanks!
So switching from lte/gsm auto to gsm preferred or whatever stop throttle. I didnt know they dont throttle hspa.. that would make sense as had my old note set up under a lte imei so I could use pta apn and got throttled at 5gb everytime. Wonder if it works. ? Time to test.

Are You Actually Using T-Mobile on your T-Mobile Note 4? If no, what Carrier are you using on your T-Mobile Note 4?
I really love the MNVO's. Puretalk uses all the Bands AT&T uses (thus, same coverage). I don't need data since I have WiFi almost wherever I go.
Have tried the rest. They suck. Will always be happy with Tmobile. I have no issues with cust care. Been with for 5 years

Using T-Mobile here. No problems at all.

It's good to see that most of you are using T-Mobile on the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 4; this gives me hope. I wanted to move over to T-Mobile's service since they really offered value in mobile service over what other carrier's give. The mobile data can really help especially when traveling. However, customer service for me has been a hit or miss. I'll still reinstate my account as the company is still trying to build, but there is a limit as to how much of a benefit of doubt I can actually give.
Have most of you paid off your devices from the start? Or are most of you actually going through the EIP process?
Had T-Mobile since Omnipoint. Got switched over to Voicestream, and then left for Sprint. Stayed with them for 10 years until I was fed up with slower-than-dialup speeds. Now, back on T-Mobile, and after 2 years, love it.
I had to call customer service few times, but every time it was very pleasant. I bought a SIM card with data only for a small iPhone project. Cancelled it 3 weeks later, because project was done. Rep told me that instead of cancelling it, they can put it as some sort of standby. I will not be charged any monthly fees going forward, but I will have 250mb/mo of data on it for life. I thought it was great.
And in general, I like them more as a company. I can finally take the phone out of airplane mode, with no fear of being charged up the wazoo (AT&T) or have it not work at all (Sprint/Verizon) when I am travelling internationally.
Yeah, network could be better, but overall, I am very satisfied.
I switched from Verizon to t mobile about 3 months ago I live in the northern part of the Houston area and the service is good in mid size to large city's when I get in rural city's or in the woods I have to fight for service but as others have said WiFi calling mostly evens it out I miss having service everywhere but the price and being with a customer friendly company makes up for it.
I live in Maine, and I just switched my two lines over to Verizon from US Cellular expecting better coverage. I typically used CDMA on USCC because the data speeds were faster and more reliable, and the better reception equaled better battery life. So now that we are on Verizon, they do not offer a CDMA option. I can use the hidden dialer code to switch it temporarily with my MXP, but the other line with a Note 4 cannot. So the Note 4 just drops calls like mad - why doesn't the dialer code work for that phone?
Secondly, is there a way to make these settings stick, so I don't have to keep switching back from LTE? I tried browsing on LTE this morning at work, just to see how it compared after using CDMA all day yesterday, and pictures would not load. At least not for several minutes (4-5 minutse), whereas on 3G they load in like 30 seconds. So I'm sold on CDMA, but sick of switching. Any advice would be great. Otherwise, we'll switch back to the better carrier.
Just go to cellular network settings and switch to 3g.
Well, maybe I'm dense, but which of these three options will give me just CDMA?
I see Verizon took out the option assuming you are stock.
---------- Post added at 07:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 PM ----------
You can probably do it in the phone info hidden menu but be careful.
---------- Post added at 07:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 PM ----------
Yeah I'm on stock lollipop, rooted and debloated with xposed and twrp. But even without the modifications, CDMA is not an option.
I've been using the hidden dialer code, but the settings don't stick through reboot. So every night I'd need to remember to redo it after my reboot.

What surprised me is - how did they remove it? I had the CDMA as an option when I went into the Verizon store to switch. They put in their sim - and the option was gone. Must be due to information on the SIM?
I have Verizon and this is not an issue on the three Pure's my family has. We ordered sims from Motorola though.

You have the 3G option? I'm going to head to a corporate store tomorrow and tell them we need 3G because their 4G network is a joke. Hopefully they can figure something out. Maybe they have a setting wrong which is limiting our data speeds to 1mbps for lte and .7mbps for 3G. Something has to be wrong, or no one would use Verizon.
