anyone know why S7 sprint hotspot maximum connection is only 1? and why it can not change?
I'm using the no root hotspot mod on my s7 sprint and have had up to 5 devices connected to it before.
Hotspot
Could you point me to a guide on how to do the hot spot mod? Thanks in advance
Instructions would be nice for this mod.
I found instructions to enable the hotspot via the ADB hack...........I can get the hotspot to enable, but devices connected to it don't have internet..........so not sure the next step.

Did you toggle the mobile data? I usually turn mobile data off, Hotpot on, mobile data on.
Will try that later on, this is for my son's phone and he's still sleeping.

Depending on the method, when you are finished: Mobile Data Off; Hotspot Off; Mobile Data On
He tried it and it works................thanks!

On other forums, people have suggested setting up a smart action to automatically turn off mobile data when connected to a wifi connection. However, my Razr M does not appear to give me that option.
I am able to set an action to turn on wifi, and to turn off mobile data when I am at home (using my home location as the trigger and turning wifi on, and turning mobile data off as an action).
However, when I try to set wifi network as a trigger, the "set mobile data" action is greyed out, and I am unable to select it. This is on version 4.2.2.3.0.
Am I missing something here, or is what I am trying to do not possible?
Is there a reason you need to? Android *should* shut data off for any apps that don't specifically request mobile data (VZW's suite comes to mind...)

Two reasons: 1) I am on a shared data plan via work, so I want to be mindful of my data use, and 2) it it my understanding that connecting to wifi uses less battery than being constantly connected to 4g.

When Wifi is available and your phone is connected, automatically 4g is off and wifi is used... I don't see the point of using smart actions for this.

Thanks, I did not realize this.
The reason I ask is because I saw a number of sites that discussed turning mobile data off when connected to wifi. See here and here
I have looked around and have not seen a rom that has bluetooth tethering working. I am wanting this to use with the galaxy gear.
Any ideas?

Hey can you elaborate on this? I'm on Beans ROM and here's what I tried:
1) Turn off wifi.
2) *Enable bluetooth w/ visibility, add device from Windows 8 device manager, then disable bluetooth
3) Turn on BT tether from Settings - More Settings - Tethering
4) Right click BT icon in quick tray of Windows 8, click Join a Personal Area Network, right click the Note 3 and select Connect Using - Direct Connection.
What happens to me is that it says Connection Successful, and then immediately disconnects and shows a black timer on the Note 3 icon in Windows 8, then says the phone is offline in the bottom status bar. Anytime I try to connect it does that same. Maybe something with drivers? Thanks,
Nila
For it to work for me I had to disable tether provisioning. Try that then reboot and see if it works.

I performed the same set of steps as above but without checking the Blue Tooth Tethering option and it still does the same thing on 2 computers. Connect for half a second, shows the device is being setup, and then just goes to not being connected right away. Anyway thanks.

Hi Bigbot -
I am using your 15-1 beta deodex and found something weird. Actually it happened on previous rom too, but did not verify it on other rom, only found out this time time around. I'm on the latest BOG5 firmware and the only way to fix this is to reboot the phone.
When I have WIFI ON, internet is fine.
When I turn OFF WIFI and use data, internet is fine too.
Turn ON Mobile Hotspot from data, internet is fine too.
BUT...., If I were on WIFI AND internet is fine, I turn ON Mobile Hotspot. I got a warning saying that "turning on Mobile Hotspot will turn off WIFI". I press OK and check internet, it is fine. And this is where it gets weird, if I turn OFF Mobile Hotspot and turn ON WIFI, my WIFI connects but NO INTERNET. Check my router and router said phone is CONNECTED, but phone has no internet. Ping the phone from the other computer connected to the same router return fine. Phone cannot ping anything on the same router or to the internet. The ONLY WAY to resolve the WIFI internet now is to reboot the phone.
BUT.... if I were going from WIFI to Mobile Hotspot by turning OFF WIFI FIRST, WAIT a few second and then TURN ON Mobile Hotspot. When I go back to WIFI, it is FINE. I CAN connect to internet. It is only when I allow the system to turn OFF WIFI by itself to activate Mobile Hotspot will I loose my WIFI internet when I reconnect back to WIFI.
Do you know what is going on? It seemed like if the system turn OFF WIFI by itself to connect to Mobile Hotspot, it is also doing something more that when you turn ON WIFI it won't connect to the internet.
Hopefully you understand what I'm going through. It's been a few weeks like this that I finally find out the culprit.

Thanks. Not sure how I started a new thread by responding to that post. Dang xda app
When I switch on the Hotspot option in settings my WiFi de-activates automatically. If I then re-enable my WiFi the Hotspot turns off. Am i missing something? It doesn't make sense. I am on the new B10 firmware standard build. No root.
Has anyone else come across this problem.?
I've not tried a factory reset yet!
What do you think you are missing? Pretty sure that's how it works.

As above, that would be normal behaviour.
The only way you could have both Wifi and Wifi Hotspot on concurrently would be if phones had 2x Wifi chips.
The idea is you either share your phones data connection with other devices via a hotspot, or you connect to a hotspot or other device with your wifi.

So I manually updated my note 8 to oreo on Verizon note and the hack for hotspot doesn't work anymore. Has anyone found a way? I been trying different things to see if I can find a way but no luck so far.

Did you happen to try FoxFi to see if it would work? Also I think there is a direct WiFi way to connect with FoxFi that's new. You might try that. Let us know. I'm holding off until I know I can use the hotspot. I'm not sure if you can upgrade to Oreo unlocked version and get around Verizon's hotspot limitation.
Pdanet+ has wifi direct and it does work! I can confirm wifi direct works on mac.
Yea I updated also not thinking ab it and now I'm screwed.
Use pdanet+ and use wifi direct, it works fine, just have to change settings that's all. Hopefully something will come up coz I don't see any other android update coming anytime soon to note 8.
Another +1 for pdanet+ and wifi direct. requires the windows app but works like a charm - happy to have it back.
I tried bt I don't see how it works I guess. U have to have pdanet installed on wutever ur trying to connect to smart TV laptop etc. Maybe if I could sideload the apk on my smart TV bt other than that looks like it's only for computers and tablets

What setting(s) do you have to change to get the PDAnet+ to work?

What is the SIM popping trick because, I am trying to avoid using Odin to revert back to Nougat OS?
Start with wifi off. Eject your SIM card (you don’t have to pull the tray all the way out). This should take you to your lock screen. Unlock your phone. Go to settings > Connections > Mobile Hotspot & Tethering.
Here’s the tricky part... You have to pop the SIM back in and click the hotspot button quickly. You might get a message that pops up telling you “insert a SIM to turn on tethering” or something. If you get that, click “OK” to make it go away and click the hotspot button again.
Last thing, have a device ready to connect to your hotspot because it will time out and automatically turn the hotspot off.

Thanks....Work like a charm once I realized I had to go re-enable the two tether apps that I had turned off via BK Disabler app from the Nougat hotspot hack.
Thanks all
Wow is all i can say

If you use pdanet+ and wifi direct, do you need to check the box that says "Hide Tether Usage"? I assume that let's you tether without VZW knowing it's tethered data and thinking it's just normal cell data usage? Does it actually work? Would be useful when I'm nearing close to my 15 GB tethering limit.
Did anyone figure this out on 10 gig tethering? Hiding hotspot usage

I have been using Foxfi. 1st, I enable my native hotspot then turn it on in Foxfi and configure the password and name to the same as the phone and set the proxy. Next go to pdanet+ and tick hide tethering. Then I update the apn settings and add dun to the configuration. I have the SM-N950U cre1 baseband on metro pcs. Unlimited plan with a cycle from the 8th-7th. According to the my metro app I've used 3.4G of data and 165mb out of 10G hotspot since the 8th. The phone says I've use 5G of data but doesn't tell me the usage on mobile hotspot. I can say I usually have 2-3 devices and a laptop using the hotspot.
