Apologize in advance for posting in both s7 & s7edge forums...
I have an older sprint plan,
1500min & unlimited data without throttle.
Kept this plan because it had subsidized phones at contract renewal.
Would keep this plan if still subsidizing phones,
but... no more subsidizing.
I have s7 930p with orinigal PB5 rom.
I used the non-root APN edit method to enable hotstop.
My statements/stats do not show hotspot data usage being counted.
Looking for people with the APN edit for hotspot who have newer plans.
If I change to the newer unlimited data plans that come with limited hotspot throttling,
Does the APN hotspot edit hide hotspot data from usage stats, preventing hotspot limit throttling?
Or will usage stats count APN edit hotspot data and throttle hotspot at limit?
FWIW - I have a friend with the S6 on one of the newer plans that includes 10 GB of hotspot. I've rooted and done the hotspot hack on his phone. His hotspot usage generally shows nothing at all. Once in a while it will randomly show a few GB, but it's never gotten close to his 10 GB limit and has never throttled. The S6 hotspot hack is a little different than the one for the S7, so YMMV...

For some reason 4 updates after PB5 (cause i staed on PB5 for the Hotspot too.) the apns are now editable again
Plus theres a no root version that all you do is toggle on hotspot
Toggle off data and back on then not one Kb will count toward you plan. BUT you must toggle off /on data every time you turn on the hotspot and back off. That includes when you get a call that disconnects you.

So i only use sprint data roaming when i go to my hunting land, but i was tethering and used 3 gigs in one day watching football games on my computer and sprint cut off my data roaming until my next billing cycle starts. I know I have heard of those hacked PRLs that dont show the roaming icon when they are loaded, is there anyway to use one of those, or anything else so that sprint doesnt think I am roaming when i actually am roaming? Its another week before I can use roaming data again. Never had this problem before, so I am assuming sprint changed their data roaming limit.
Sprint always had a 300mb roaming data limit. They don't track everyone but if you get caught going over on multiple occasions your account can be terminated.
Its 100mb now I chatted with them lastnight
Or is there a way to hide tethering data usage? Maybe thru a VPN or something?
I have an s7 edge purchased thru my carrier (Sprint around 10/15 and is running Android 6.0.1. My Sprint plan (unlimited freedom) has no cap on lte+ speed data and comes with 5gb of hotspot. Is there a way to get around the 5gb hotspot limit? I'd like to be able to take advantage of the unlimited high speed data for my other electronics at home to save on paying for cable internet service as I have lte+ service reception at my home. But 5gb goes quickly when I am using Netflix, etc on my smart tv streaming off my hotspot. Any advice appreciated.
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...

Thinking about switching to MetroPCS. I got the dreaded hotspot warning from Cricket, and I've been meaning to make the switch anyway.
To be clear, I'm asking if it's possible to unlock the hotspot feature on my phone without paying for the service. I have the build.prop line and the adb dun line which is how I got it working on Cricket. But I've heard Metro may have additional bypasses.
The plan I want to switch to is the 4 lines for $100 which does not include hotspot. I use about 20gb a month.
Thanks!
