Hi guys
I'm new here and kinda stuck with this annoying problem.
I bought an S5 SM-G900F from Dubai (UAE) last year and it worked fine there- used LTE services and all. However, I recently came back to Pakistan where a network called ZONG launched LTE services a few months ago. Thing is... I don't get the option to select LTE in network mode. It just isn't there.
All I can see is:
WCDMA/GSM (auto connect)
WCDMA only
GSM only
I'm on stock ROM, btw
G900FXXU1ANG2
Android Kitkat 4.4.2
Someone I know purchased a SM-G900D from Dubai which is a dual SIM S5 and he gets another option: LTE/WCDMA/GMS (auto connect)
So I'm in a fix and I desperately need to get my LTE working. I called the UAE Samsung helpline and they said that apparently LTE only works in the country you purchased the phone from, which I thought was just silly.
I don't want to root my phone- the camera module has been changed once under warranty and I don't want to risk anything. Also, I did try to access the Service mode of the pone but all the settings just bamboozled me. Fiddled with quite a few, but still could not manage to get the LTE option
Any help?
Thanks

So I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5, It's unlocked of course but I have it on Verizon network because I needed Wifi Messaging to work but now that they offical have "Wifi Calling" enabled am I able to take it to say AT & T or Metro PCS and use their Wifi Calling and it'll be ok?
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.
Recently updated my wife's Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 to 6.0.1 (using Smart Switch), because we switched to T-Mobile about 2 months ago. I am finding that I do not see a WiFi calling option at all. When I go into the Advanced Calling setting (which I thought it was under) I can turn on HD calling and video, but the option above it is greyed out (which isn't WiFi anyway).
Is it able to tell I am not on Verizon and disables the feature?
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!
