Just got my S7 and I'm on PE1...started on PF2, but had trouble rooting...not sure if it was because it was midnight when I started or I missed a few steps. The process went much better this morning.
Anyway, when I did ##DATA#, hit edit, typed in MSL, APN settings, APN2 LTE internet, my APN type was also grayed out. However, @Soooperstar sent me the hiddenmenu folder with the apk and odex. This may only work on Sprint ROMs and not the U version (feel free to try though).
Get a root explorer and go to system>app . Copy the hiddenmenu folder to someplace on your internal or external storage. Take the contents of the attached Zip and copy them into the system hidden folder. It should replace the old hiddenmenu.apk and oat folder. Permissions should be set correctly. If not, the hiddenmenu.apk and oat>arm64>hiddenmenu.odex should be rw-r-r . The directories should be drwxr-xr-x. But they should be fine if you copy and replace/merge.
Reboot phone
Go to phone app, and type ##DATA# (##3282#). hit Edit, type in MSL, APN settings, APN2 LTE internet, APN type....you should be able to now edit those and add the < ,dun >. You'll have to do it for both...APN2 LTE and APN2 EHRPD. Then go to settings>Hotspot and Tethering> and turn it on.
Someone test this method. 1 of 2 things caused my hotspot to work...I think it was this though. I just received my phone yesterday and it shipped with PE1 and my hotspot didn't work before this and asked me if I wanted a subscription.

Do you need to be rooted so you can use HiddenMenu?
I'm rooted on pf2 and I didn't need to do the ##data#. I just went to settings>mobile networks>access point names and changed the apn type to default,mms,dun on both internets and saved then rebooted.

Some people here and at the S7 edge forum said that it was still grayed out. Mine was grayed out until I replaced the files, it was the only way I could change it. I'm still wondering if anyone tried editing the telephony.db file to get it to work.
If you didn't root, it will still be grey

Hey buddy, I'm on PF2 also but my apn's are all greyed out, and so is the "add" button on the top right of my screen. Does anyone know what's up with that?
Edit: nevermind, all I had to do was read a little bit more and I would've gotten my answer, lol... sometimes I'm just soo lazy....

Just redid my phone after flashing the U firmware. The only way I could get Hotspot again was by using sqlite to edit the telephony.db . That was theory number 2 I had.

I can't find any way to change the APN's in the settings. Does anyone know how?
I tried saying "Open APNs" in the voice dial, didn't recognize it.
I couldn't find APNs in Any Cut
I decided to just edit /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
Is this safe?

APN backup & restore from Market.
Backup apns, edit them with a text editor, then delete apns, restore apns

What are you trying to do exactly? as in, why are you trying to change the apn?
And this should be in SAMSUNG FASCINATE - GENERAL, not development...
I managed to fix mms sending on cricket. I edited default.xml in /system/customize/MNS and Mms.apk. Now my picture message works perfectly on my phone.
So in order to install files you need to download them and then unzip default.zip.
You need to place both filies inc c:\ drive.
Now
adb push c:\Mms.apk /system/app/Mms.apk
adb push default.xml /system/customize/MNS/default.xml
adb reboot
Once your phone reboots it should work fine with picture messages.
Did anyone try this let me know how this works for you. I would post my apn settings but I use full android plan. Let me know how this works for you guys.
Now this is something we need to get the mms receive working in miui but for sprint

This for cricket it allows to receive and send picture message. I tested with verizon and t mobile customers and works realy fast.
Could you fix the one for the miui rom it only sends mms but dont receive

hmm interesting lemme try summin
Did you modify MMS.apk and fix what was causing it not to send properly? Is this a modified MMS from a Sprint rom? Or one from a Verizon roms like the rest of us have been using?
Would you mind sharing?
Also, are you capable of MMS while wifi is on by any chance?
NICE!
Thanks for sharing....
I will try and repost my results I also am on the android plan this is my apn settings..
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<apns count="1">
<apn name="CDMA-MMS" numeric="46605" mcc="466" mnc="05" apn="mms" user="your10digit#here@mycricket.com" server="NA" password="cricket" proxy="wap.mycricket.com" port="8080" mmsproxy="null" mmsport="null" mmsprotocol="null" mmsc="http://mms.mycricket.com/mycricket/mms.php" type="mms" />
</apns>
Thanks to deathsled... for the apn
WHOA, Im ecstatic!
You did it!
I confirm this solution to be working on my favorite ROM solution...
VirusROM BASE SENSE RC3 with Carbon Theme...
I could not use the adb push method as I am on the road and forgot to grab my micro usb cable...
1. I used Root Explorer to first delete mms.apk from /system/app
2. I copied mms.apk to /system/app
3. Using Root Explorer I over wrote default.xml/system/customize/MNS/default.xml
4. Reboot
5.
A. To my surprise I did not have a messaging app in the app drawer upon boot?
B. Using Root Explorer I navigated my SD card to folder I had placed mms.apk and launched mms.apk thus installing.
6. Downloaded and installed APN Backup, removed current apn.
7. I used the above posted APN.xml after modifying the "red" string with my info, thanks deathsled provided and apn.xml
8. Rebooted
9. SUCCESS!
I figure some of the steps may not be necessary how ever I documented the exact process and procedure in which I now have functioning MMS..
tritron777 Major props to you man!!! You just killed it man!!!!
This is from sprint rom mms.apk and default.xml. I did not try to send mms over wifi.
I believe that for someone using proxy they can use apn proxy by changing this mmsproxy="null" mmsport="null" to mmsproxy="wap.mycricket.coml" mmsport="8080"
Well I found out that modification to default.xml also changed the market. It restored download section. The problem with sending mms over wifi is that we mms server is protected by cricket or any carrier so it limited by range of ip addresses so we can't connect because we are not on a network. So the only way to make this work is to have stop wireless connection and start data the moment we eant to send mms.
What was the issue with the market download section?
I did not have an issue with it that I noticed?

Proxy information is not needed on cricket regardless of the plan. (im on a proxy plan and don't have any in there and its fine)
Question for you, was all that you modified was the:
Mms.apk>smali>com>android>mms>transport>HttpUtils.smali
X-SPRINT-MDN to X-Cricket-MDN?
Or were there other internal changes to the Mms.apk file needed? reason im asking is i would like to do the same for hero users as well since this seems to plague all sprint roms and i have been digging to find the root cause for awhile
That the change I made to mms.apk wasto change X-MDN to X-Cricket-MDN I guess metropc would need X-metropc-MDN. Now default.xml I changed all sprint references to
the way ZIO shows it self. Now that gets market back to the way it was before sprint section was added

Awesome thanks for the info. Going to try to correct this for hero's now as well
and now we know!
Next up, fix MMS under AOSP/non sense roms for Cricket. Or does that work and I'm retarded? I couldn't find anywhere to set the MMS size and I think that might be the only problem.
Just in case I have a backup of the Mms.apk from a brand new Samsung epic. Just email or PM me. no I do not charge for this. And if anyone can host the file i will be more than glad to share.
the Mms.apk does remove the Mms from the phone. when i try to reinstall it from the phone using root explorer it says "Parse Error there is a problem parsing the package." does anyone know what i can do to fix this error?
Not related but... anyone get Metro MMS working yet? I have a working APN from my bros Eris and I cant get it working at all... How would one edit the Mms.apk?

Download APN Backup and Restore from market here
and then place the file inside the rar in the folder it creates
launch the app and press restore
once is restore return to settigs and select the correct apn for you (hint: the one that says hspa)

Create a folder on the root called "ApnBackupRestore"
sorry i took so long to get back to you but i felt asleep at my desk, it was a long awesome day yesterday!
Well you file is corrupted/ empty. I've deleted all of the apn's and add it back by hand about 3 times and still no data.
get anycut from the market and open it click new shortcut, activity, APNs, ok ok. open apns shortcut and press menu, then press restore default. that should do it. it will restore the default apns from the os ur using.

I'm running:
HKTW 2.3.4 with navalynt's fix pack (version 1.4) and the newer radio.
I used the APN restore as recommended here and I now have data, but intermittently. When my 3G icon and bars become blue, I have data access. It will last for 2 to 5 minutes or so and then they turn gray and I have no data. Not sure if the color thing in coincidence or related indirectly. After 30 seconds to a minute they go blue again and I'm gtg. I live in the Chicago suburbs which is a "4G" area. (I know about the icon bug, just saying.)
Anyone have any suggestions?
You saved my butt!

Hello. Thank you for posting this. I Recently flashed my ROM using the wrong (slightly) ROM. Luckily everything worked except for Data. (The Rom I used was from Chile.and I'm in the USA) I was pulling my hair out until I saw your post. Thank you! Thank you! I will post a link to this post and quote you since you saved my butt and my girlfriend won't kick my butt for "ruining" a brand new (2 months) phone she bought me.
Thanks again.
Yay. The evil witch has been slain. I got mms working on this phone with straight talk. Only took 8 hours lol. Anyways I was browsing the web and took from several places. Will give proper credits when I find out what came from where. First off u need to have phone dev unlocked and wp7 root tools installed. Next email the attachment to your phone and click the document til it opens. Back out and go to wp7 root tools. Browse to application data, then volatile, then attatchments, then copy the xml document. Paste the file in the windows folder. Reboot phone. Next open up mfg menu. Go to engineer menu, then other, then set network profiles. Type 310 in mcc box and click find. Select the ST_US one. Turn the three boxes at top to on. Back out to main screen. Go to settings. Go to cellular, add apn. Just type art.mvno in apn box. Save. Back out and reboot phone. And u now have working data and mms.
Problem not sure how to upload file. Pm me if u want file. And I will email it or if someone can host file, let me know
Edit: try this link. Its my dropbox.

Thanks for the update, and the info. This gave me the info I needed. I did modify the approach though. For whatever reason I could not download or view the xml file as an attachment. still all was not lost, Simply did a search for the _PROV_ST(..).xml file through the WP7 Root tools (there are a lot of xml files to wade through but it was in there!) and found it in the IE temp cache folder. Was able to copy and paste and make it work that way.
I cannot access the service menu. I went to efs, then carrier, and changed from OFF to ON using all caps, but still get nothing when I press *#0011# on the dialer. I'm on MJE running cleanrom 1.5. Any ideas?

I just tried and works here. Am also on cr 1.5.
1. Did u reboot?
2. Did u go back and verify the edit to ON stuck?
♢NoteIII♢
I was having trouble too.
1.What are you using to edit the file? I recommend Root Explorer and edit it with text editor and save.
2.Once saved, close out editor and reopen file to make sure it saved it and "stuck"
3.Reboot you phone.
4.Open browser on your phone and go to forum page with the codes on it. Copy the Service Menu code to the clipboard.
5.Open dialer and press and hold in blank area to show option to paste from clipboard. If you did everything right Service Menu will popup right away.
i noticed for whatever reason on my Note on the MJE update if you direct dial the code it doesn't work for whatever reason. Copy and pasting the code is no problem.

First I used solid Explorer, then root Explorer from rom toolbox but it had already stuck. I did reboot,and checked again and it Did stick. I tried Copy and pasting but it didn't work either.
Could this be a Verizon model issue?
