Edit APNs on a 6p with a Sprint Sim? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey! So I got my 6p yesterday, and want to get hotspots to work, but I can't find where to change apns, where can I find it? Also, if I can't is there any way to turn hotspot on without root?

This is what it looks like for me. I used action launcher activities and got to an APN screen, but its just blank. Any ideas?

Guessing you bought this locked to Sprint or something? If you are still on MM, that may also be why the options are different. Have you looked under carrier settings?

If it is locked to your carrier, they probably altered the UI. I would think you should still be able to edit/add APNs under Carrier Networks.

Activities? It is too level under Settings. You won't confirm whether it is locked to Sprint or not, but it would seem so. Mine isn't. If you can't add a new APN by clicking the + icon then probably not.

I bought it from amazon and then swapped out my current phone for this one. So that means it shouldn't be locked right?

Probably not, but I'd think you'd know whether it was before you bought it. I can't begin to guess what the issue is since you can't directly access APN settings by going to settings, and I've never seen 'Activities' or whatever it was you used to access your settings. Normally you'd go to settings and get to mobile networks from there.
I don't know anything about Sprint but if you do a little research online, I think you'll find that if Sprint users on non-LTE networks or using project Fi don't have access to edit APNs normally. You probably need to go to a Sprint forum or contact them. Good luck.

I think I saw somewhere that adding dun on apn type will get native hotspot working. I'm not on stock so I'm not sure if it works. Worth a try.

Tmobile APN

Hello community
Does anyone know how to modify the TMobile USA APN settings. I recently came from the HTC One S section where we had a mod to allow WiFi and USB tether without the plan. Anything similar to that for this device?

Did you try searching? there are methods that can be use but if you are using the N4 and a custom rom thats all you need. Remember this phone does not have any carrier branding.
It may even work stock but unfortunately my phone was not stock long enough to test that out... LOL
Edit: My friend connects to his wifi and using USB tether without a problem on his Note 2 and its not rooted so there is obviously a way

rooting it and custom rom will do nothing for you and getting caugth tethering, thats an untruth that gets spread around. tmobile sees your device on their network regardless, or you wouldnt be able to use tmobiles network. its just a matter of tmobile actively stopping you or ignoring you to a point. you can always try changing your browsers user agent, that helps sometimes, but they eventually catch on. to get to the apn settings, you dont need root. its in the main phone settings, more, mobile network, access point names..

Ok to clarify are we speaking about you turning on your wifi then connecting your phone to a pc and streaming over the internet that way? I know it sound crazy but my friends Internet card and wireless card in his pc do not work and this is how he connects his pc to internet.
Also I use ES File explorer on my Note 2 to tether and straight with my N4. I also use chrome if connected to a laptop. I may have just gotten lucky but i have not seen the T-Mobile page pop up on my since I got this phone. But thats just me

I've been using the app called Foxfi from the play store which has been working great for me and that's without root! There is a free version that limits the amount of time you can use it or a paid version for like 7 bucks. A little costly but I've been happy so far. Only thing is once u go into the Foxfi app and turn on mobile hot spot u will get a pop up about needing to set up through verizon, DO NOT hit cancel, instead just push your home button and wha la!! You have working mobile hotspot! Hope this helps.

Just press the home button and it will go away while leaving tethering on... As long as you have used the widget or toggle to turn it on.

Not sure. But I noticed something in SQLite.

settings.db
Global
51 Wifi_watchdog_on 1
I'm thinking - hoping- that that is the entitlement/subscription check. Anyone willing to find out?
Changed it to 0... Still getting Use of this service requires a subscription...
I think the Wifi Watchdog setting is to alert you when a WiFi network is in range....
I've just been using the notifications panel toggle hack, then pressing the Home button when the error comes up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2482867
Would be great to get rid of the notification though

Thanks for the heads up and trying it out. I'd change it back to 1, though. I did some searching and it seems that watchdog is a security measure to try and keep hackers from accessing your phone through wifi. So either what you were thinking is right or the info I have found is. But I'm no expert. So I don't know which it is. Lol. Either case is seems cruicial or important. So probably best to not mess with that.
I have the toggle going, also. I just figured it was worth a shot, at least. I just get a little annoyed having to press the Home button every time. But at least we have tether. I can deal with that until such time that they figure it out.
Thanks again for trying that!
I have actually investigated this a bit, and like new devices, the check is now built in Framework-res.apk. You need to decompile, edit the lines that call the command to check for subscription, and recompile. I have tried quite a few times but could never get the signing right and replace the file on the device without a bootloop, so I gave up. I think I have more specific information on like the 2nd page of the we have root thread.

[Q] Is there a way to force CDMA (3G) instead of 4G LTE?

Hello,
I'm wondering if there is a way to force CDMA (3G) on my LG G2 Verizon instead of it always being on 4G (4G everywhere in my area). I was able to do this on my Nexus phone, by simply changing the radio type from LTE to CDMA. On this phone, LTE/CDMA is combined as one option.
Any ideas on how to go about forcing CDMA only like I was able to on my Nexus?
Thanks
Im sure there is a menu option via the dialer but not sure on the verizon/sprint variant. You can install phone info, open it then click phone information then pick cdma (auto prl) from the dropdown menu.
I attached the phone info apk cause its no longer in the play store.

dun is the hotspot access. if its in your downloaded apn it means the system will allow you to enable it(instead of saying you are not subscribed)
Ah. Ok thanks. My contract comes with 14GB of hotspot so adding dun will probably not do anything, right?

I have my MSL and can edit APN using the ##DATA# command, but I'm used to Samsung phones, and you just added dun to each setting (LTE, EVDO, etc...) but the V20's menu and options are set up a bit differently than any Samsung I ever had. So where does the DUN go?
I have my MSL also and I am trying to figure out where does the dun go. It was easy to do on my Note 4.
I am having DNS issues when trying to connect to my Hotspot from both my PS4 and my Windows 10 computer using the native hotspot on my LS997. Any suggestions?
So can anyone tell me how to access the apns

Hotspot workaround

Post updated 7/28/17
This method was borrowed from another thread.
Thanks to @heathmcabee for this.
It's not my discovery but I'm sharing the write up here since we already have a thread about this.
Copied and pasted and I've verified that it works.
Open quick shortcut maker
Enter "test" into the search box (without quotes)
Select the last entry (com.test.LTEfunctionality)
Once it expands, select the last entry
Tap on "try"
Scroll to and select the entry that says "APN setting"
Tap the entry that's already selected (blue dot)
Scroll down to "APN type"
In the box, it'll say "default,mms"
Tap the box and change it to read "default,mms,dun"
Make sure there's no quotes or spaces.
Tap the three dot menu on the very top right and select save.
Profit.
Hit thanks if this helps [emoji4]

Hey, sorry, I haven't been on in a while. Did you figure it out?
So has anyone actually been successful? Is there anyway somebody could post a quick guide? I went to the thread for the S7 Edge already, but I can only get so far when it comes to the adb shell settings. Any help would be appreciated. -x_

My Hotspot works out of the box even after the 359MB update.
Is everyone else having the same luck or do we need to work on a workaround?
I have the family unlimited plan that does NOT include tethering. My son has the G4 and he gets the "not subscribed" notification when he turns on Hotspot.

Check this thread for the S8+ just did & native hotspot works.. if you ever update profile you may have to re apply the mod it was confirmed to work on QFJ. I just got mine & it took maybe 3 mins!

@bigboose1234 If you have team viewer I can help. What time zone are you in? Maybe we can set something up and I can assist.

@bigboose1234 thats ok. Here is the guide that I followed. Do steps 1-8. You can ignore the alternate method below the first 8 steps
