I am planning on getting the unlocked version from Samsung and using it on MetroPCS service. Just trying to see if anyone knew the apn settings to enable hotspot.
I posted it on the Note 8 forum a while back. It should be similar with the Note 9. Just need to use adblock to change T-mobile's hidden tether apn from pcweb.tmobile.com to fast.t-mobile.com

Ad block? Would I have to root for that? Any chance you can post a link to your post on the note 8?

Here is a link to the thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=76530012
After posting the link I tried it on my Unlocked Note 9 on T-Mobile and it worked fine here are the steps. Will need to have adb installed on your PC.
1. Enable developer mode:
a. Go to settings
b. Scroll down to about phone
c. Repeatedly tap "Build number" until developer access is granted
2. Get, and install ADB w/ drivers
3. Enable USB Debugging
a. Go to settings
b. Go down to developer options
c. Scroll down to USB Debugging and turn it on
d. Connect phone with USB to PC
3.) Enable tether bypass by disabling the DUN requirement by entering the following command within adb shell
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
4.) Overwrite the DUN APN
settings put global tether_dun_apn "Tethering data,fast.t-mobile.com,,,,,,,,,310,260,,dun"
5.) Not sure if this step is necessary, but helps if things change. If your apn is greyed out than create a new one and copy the setting from the default app. Just need to add, dun to APN Type line
Or you can use Settings Database Editor to add, and make the changes within the Global Table. Just need to enable write permission for the app using adb commands, see screenshot of settings.
I guess I can't post screen shots anymore.

Do you know if this allows the hotspot to work at full LTE speed? I think both the One plan and the Essentials plan have their hotspot speed capped (max 3g speed for the former, 600kbps for the latter). If this unlocks full LTE speed that would be awesome!

Well it solves part of the problem since you are using the same apn as you use when surfing on your phone. T-Mobile might have packet sniffers or methods to. Might need to use a User Agent Switcher within your browser. For me I see no throttling so I have now way to test it.

delete the Value with the app "settings database editor"
T-Mobile, note 9. As soon as you activate mobile hotspot, it replaces "tether_dun_required 1" in my settings. I tried:
- setting tether_dun_required to 0, deactivate mobile data, activate hotspot (sets back to 1), active mobile data
- setting tether_dun_required to 0, activate hotspot with mobile data already active (sets back to 1)
- activate hotspot, set tether_dun_required to 0 (throttled)
- set tether_dun_required to 0, delete the tether_dun_required setting altogether, deactivate mobile data, activate hotspot (puts tether_dun_required 1 back into settings), reactivate mobile data
Every single time, the download speed gets throttle to ~0.5mbps.
Damn you t mobile.
Will this work with Sprint as well?
For Verizon I got the open the sim card tray, close it and turn hotspot on procedure working.
well tried with shutting data off and leaving it on, but I keep getting the MetroPCS site saying I don't have hotspot.
Current setup
tether_dun_required 0
tether_dun_apn "Tethering data,fast.metropcs.com,,,,,,,,,310,260,,dun"
New apn with DUN added to the end
Even tried deleting the tether_dun_required all together and same thing

Well I never could get this to work, but now with the new rate plans including 5gb of hotspot and google one I switched over to that and will see if this will end up helping to have unlimited hotspot.
I got the same thing after the note 9 camera update. I use to be able to remove tether dun required line but now i cant, were you able to find a solution
I'm buying a note 9 next week. Should I get the unlocked or regular verizon one? I have grandfathered unlimited data. This SIM card trick is that where you remove it, activate hotspot and push it back in? Sorry for all the questions I'm still on a LG g4 just so I can tether.

Hi, I'm am planning on getting a note 9 soon. I have grandfathered unlimited data also. I have a LG g4 just for foxfi but it's getting old. The sim card trick works on note 9? Also is it where you remove it, activate hotspot and put it back in? In your opinion would I be better served getting an unlocked note 9?

It does, but I've had it run for hours and sometime it turns off right away. So it doesn't work as well as it did on my S7 Edge. Foxfi doesn't work on the note 9.
I purchased an unlocked note 9 from Samsung and compared its hotspot to my galaxy s6. With the s6 I can play an online multiplayer game whilst downloading a movie on my computer and it works perfect with no lagging or glitches.. On the note 9 I struggle to play online games and downloading a movie takes nearly four times longer and that's with only one device connected to it. Does anyone have a fix for the unlocked note 9? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The first thing you need is your MSL code from Sprint/your service provider . You can do this by simply calling the Sprint customer service/your providers customer service and ask for the MSL code after saying an alibi like slow connection(i just said i wanted for personal records ). You can also use any MSL utility app that is working on your device.
Now open the dialer and enter ##DATA# (##3282#)
Click on the Edit button in the popup and enter your MSL code and click OK.
Now navigate to APN settings from the Mobile Networks menu and open APN2 EHRPD Internet and APN2 LTE internet individually and change APN Type to default,mms,dun.
Save the settings in both the APN configurations and reboot the device.
I CAN CONFIRM THIS WORKED ON SPRINT NOTE 5 MAY WORK ON OTHERS
I DID NOT MAKE THIS MY SELF THE original thread can be found here http://www.droidviews.com/enable-wifi-tethering-on-sprint-galaxy-s6-s6-edge-and-note-4-on-lollipop/

I would like to know this too. Only thing holding me back from getting it. Tried to find if it worked on the note 4 for T-Mobile, doesn't seem like anyone tried.
so how do you actually use it. does it unlock some toggle or something?
it did not work for me. it still was asking for a hotspot plan. i redid it a few times with the same result

You turn on the factory wifi Hotspot that comes built it.
Without the mod it will not turn on, and a pop up message that says your not subscribed to a tethering plan or something to that extent will show up. After this mod it turns on as if you were paying the carrier for a plan. This is not new for the note 5 nor is it different. Please look under older Samsung phones if you can't find what your looking for. The instructions on how to do it are exactly the same as note 4 and other phones.
Yeah i found it. i saw the bluetooth and usb but not wifi. i found it, dont know how i missed it. apparently i have a plan because it lets me tether out of the box.
Confirmation working with my sprint device.
Confirmed working with my sprint note 5. Don't forget to click the option "more" in the top right corner when changing the settings and click save before rebooting device.

Do you have Verizon or a plan that's not unlimited? If you pay per GB for data or have limited data plan they usually don't care how you use it. People like myself that have unlimited data and sprint they lock it down to get you to pay extra for sharing your unlimited data.
This msl code is different for each number?
What about fully unlocked phone, isn't this feature already there by default? I never bought subsidized phone from carrier, I always bought unlocked from overseas, where tethering was always available,so I don't know how this thing works.
My son bought unlocked iPhone 6 plus and he can tether as well. So it is only not working by default on subsidized phones?
this is the same method i used back with my Sprint S6e. but i'm wondering about my Note 5 Duos. i haven't gone out to get any SIMS yet. i'm currently wirelessly tethered to my S6e.

Go to idoneapps.com . This is the guy who created the Domestic unlock. You have to pay for Domestic unlock. GT Tool is free but its only for International SIM unlock. All the directions are on the site, and its legit as I've unlocked 3 Sprint Samsung phones, including a Note 4 just today. It's $34.98 and you wont have LTE (you'll get 4G) on a GSM carrier, but it aint no thing. 4G is plenty fast for me especially being able to use a Sprint flagship Samsung Note 4 on my T-Mobile service.

My guy only charges $30, but it's besides that.
I run a Store, I'm pretty Savvy when it comes to Tech, and I understand programming, but am not Fluent in it.
I'd like to be able to Unlock it myself, so I can charge the people who come to me to do it.
If it can be done with just Root and ADB, that means I should be able to do it myself,
I just have to have whatever ADB command,
[probably sideloading an APK of sorts, That I'm guessing needs Root Permissions, Esp with the N910P on 5.1.1]
and some possible Dial Codes into the Device that causes the Domestic Unlock.
Cause if he charges $30, I'd have to charge $40-$50,
and I'd have to wait on him as well.
Why do all this when I could possibly do it myself?
But I'm guessing I won't be able to find out because that means less profit for the people who DO know how to do it.
Not that I offer my unlocks online, though, I run a Brick and Mortar type shop, no website, or online presence what-so-ever.

I personally couldn't decompile my zip code, but it's some pretty high level stuff from my understanding. It's also the only unlock I'm aware of that you can simply download. Your guy may have bought unlocks in bulk which would cost him $20 and sells them for $30 = $10 profit per unlock. Or maybe he has a box?
Also it's 100% automated, so no waiting on anyone. I say bypass your guy and sell them for whatever you can.

All you should have to do is that and then add your apn. Check that, cause it might need put in again. Also in settings, more networks, mobile networks, change your network mode to gsm/umts.
Do you have service then? and just no data?

I went through the same guy. He was able to unlock my sprint Samsung Note 4, however I am only able to get 3g data on it with my current at&t service. Did you have this issue with T-mobile also. I have emailed him to try to get a solution however I was not able to come to one. Any help?

This phone only has 3 lte bands active for the Sprint network which ATt uses different bands. So you can't get lte. You'll get hspa+ which is like 4g. It has nothing to do with his app that unlocks phone. Supposedly there's a way to unlock your lte bands but I'm very Leary of that. Don't want to turn phone in to brick.:crying:
If anyone knows a workaround please share. The Note 7 had a glitch when using WiFi sharing for HotSpot to work. I hope one of you smart people find a way. I need it for work.....Only reason I root is for battery life and hotspot......Man I hope we get root or HotSpot working. Thanks !!!! Never had an LG before and this thing is a beast !

Do you have issues with the V20? Do you have tethering in your mobile plan? Are you using it on AT&T?

Is yours an AT&T version? If so you'll have to have to have it part of your plan.

Yes At&t......I will need root then because I'm unlimited data....This sucks......If I want to use my data by tethering, I should be able too. This is dumb
In the same boat with Verizon on unlimited. Foxfi works, but only via USB (cable connected) or Bluetooth (slow ~1 Mbps). I love this phone, but miss being able to use the Hotspot for the rare times I need it.
I believe there is a beta feature on the pdanet USB client on the PC side that will allow a hotspot generated from the computer attached via USB. Clunky but better than nothing if you have other devices that need access to the connection in a stationary setting for now.

Thanks for the help ..WIll use FoxFi / PDA USB with cable for now. Good looking out!!
I'm really looking forward to a solution for this. I've been holding on to my old S5 since I haven't been able to find a newer removable-battery phone that allows for rooted hotspot usage on the old grandfathered unlimited plan :/
Now that we have root, I wonder how we can enable this?
I use to just change a couple of numbers in buildProp on other phones (Rom Toolbox .prop)
Any help would be appreciated
EDIT:
Found the below info but I don't think it will work. I DID NOT try this but it is tempting.
4. Connect your phone to your PC and issue the below commands:
adb shell
echo "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" >> /system/build.prop
adb reboot
5. Now, install Terminal Emulator app from the Play Store [HERE] and launch it.
6. In Terminal Emulator, enter below code one by one:
su
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
exit

Yeah I'm not entirely sure how we might be able to get it to work. I've tried adding dun to the APN - edited the build.prop and added the lines you put above into the build.prop file. Those worked to no avail.
I edited the line inside build.prop "ro.build.target_operator=ATT". I changed ATT to "OPEN", and that did happen to allow tethering. But from the devices I connected to my phone - they were unable to connect to the internet. It was almost like ATT was blocking service of tethering. I didn't try to do all of those edits at the same time though. Perhaps maybe then?

Yeah I tried using all three of those methods - but it seems like only the method of turning the ro.build.target_operator to OPEN avoids the "Authorizing" screen and lets the Tethering turn on. But while the phone is still able to access the internet, the other devices cannot access the internet - having DNS issues.
I'm curious if perhaps the "system/app/Entitlementcheck-" app retrieves a token to allow other devices to connect, and using "OPEN" makes it so the entitlementcheck application is not even used. Not sure entirely how it works. I've seen in other device sections, such as the Pixel, where someone edited the phone's own entitlementcheck app equivalent to let them use tethering (here). Not sure if it would be possible to something similar here.

I am on sprint. And i rooted my v20 phone. I am on unlimited also. But sprint gives me 5gb tether for free on my plan. Then they slow you down. The built in tether did not work after root. So i had bought a app called Wi-Fi tether router. And it works.
Re: Work around
Were you able to find a way to root the LG V20 or find a way to get around the tethering and hotspot block/ authorization??? Please Help !! I have no idea how to root but I heard there is a minor root I can do but not sure how to do it and DEF dont want to mess my phone up.... Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

I just did this and you solved one of my pet peeves but not my tethering issues.
The phones still connect to my phone however they have no internet while tethering.
What you did solve is (by changing the prop to NAO vs ATT) is removing the annoying carrier name on the left side of the screen and also removed the annoyingly large ATNT 4G symbol. Instead its a neatly placed, small 4glte icon.
This issue is still persisting even after changing the tether enforcement to 0 from 5 in the system xml
I, and many others found it shocking that Huawei managed to fix the tether provisioning to where it will connect to your carrier, no matter who they are. That being said, if you do not pay for a tethering package, you will not be able to use it... Until now.
The irony here is that root wouldn't help you fix it, editing the buildprop yields no results, neither do any of the root apps like Wifi Tether Router.
I found a way to activate the Wifi hotspot without root and it works just fine. Here's what I tested it on :
Cricket
MetroPCS
EMIUI 4.1
1. Insert another active SIM(or removing the current sim and leaving it out might work too) and start the hotspot.
2. Remove the SIM tray and put in the active SIM card you would like to tether on.
3. Connect and enjoy the hotspot.
This does not mask your tethered traffic in anyway. Perhaps if you use Wifi tether router in conjunction with this FIX you will be able to mask your tethered traffic in the eyes of carriers like MetroPCS/T-Mobile. Cricket seems to not care a bit about me doing it though. You may not need another SIM card but I have not tested that yet. Hope this is helpful to those who use their phone as their main source of internet.

I am using the US 32GB model of the phone. However, this should not be a problem. I am on Cricket which runs on the AT&T network in the USA. And yeah it's funny. I go through all the trouble to try to enable hotspot and then thought about my MetroPCS SIM and threw it in and it let me turn on the hotspot. Surely it wouldn't allow the hotspot to stay on while I remove the SIM, right? Wrong. hahaha
I found a simple root method that works for Cricket and AT&T.Using Root Explorer,go to System/App/ and find a folder called ATT Entitlement,long press it and move it to external sd for safekeeping.Reboot and Voila!!! , Hotspot works perfectly fine.Happy Tethering.
In chrome on your pc just install user agent switcher and then pick from the list and provider will still see Android and do what you do on the interwebs.... That's what i have done for years now to use phone tethering to pc
I'm stock frd-L04 EMUI 5 using a AT&t Go phone sim and I can use portable hotspot without doing any tricks or rooting or anything. After setting up a password for the hotspot, I just turned it on found honor 8 on my laptop entered the password and it works just fine. Unless my prepaid Go phone plan comes with tethering and I'm not aware of it but I highly doubt it.
Interesting because MetroPCS doesn't restrict tethering on any but the Unlimited plans (the $50 plan has no tethering, $60 plan has 8gb tethering) any other plans allow tethering up to whatever their data cap is. Systems will automatically sker devices using illogical data amounts from the network and systems may allow it to continue for a bit then sker out devices causing network congestion.
I can't tether on L04 with EMUI5 on Straighttalk. Rooted and build.p.prop edits, etc. no luck! Anyone else on Straightalk and EMUI 5?
No luck.
FRD-L04 B360, tried with no SIM which turned on my hotspot, but the moment inserted my Cricket SIM, it turned off my hotspot.

It works for me on L04 B360. Just keep sim tray out by 1 mm, activate tethering and immediately push back in the sim tray.

Hey, im interested in this method, could you explain step by step please and also, usb tether or hotspot?
thank you!
I found a trick that works to enable the hotspot if you have an unlimited plan with no hotspot included. It works on my Verizon Note 8.
You follow everything in the video, except you only disable the red "mobile hotspot and tethering " app. Not the others.
It helps if you have Wi-Fi and mobile hotspot in the quick swipe down menu of your phone. Once you set up the wrong passworded Wi-Fi all you have to do is toggle them in the drop down. It's easy and fast.
Let me know if the link doesn't work.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...CC4wAw&usg=AFQjCNGLD66UrxdFo9tyLyXax3CAc0inCg
No go. I just get this error message no matter what when the hotspot is disabled - "All apps associated with this action have been turned off, blocked, or are not installed."
On mine I have Wi-Fi sharing enabled in the hotspot settings and also make sure you only disable the one app, not all 3 like the video. Hope that helps. Not sure if it'll make a difference.
Attached a picture of the package disabler.
I thought I had wifi sharing on already, but I guess not. That did it, thank you!!
not sure if this will work for Verizon but I found this method on galaxy s8+ and works on sprint note 8.
Hotspot hack works here as well. Seems easier than the other method.
1. Download Shortcut Master Lite
2. Search for LTEfunctionality
3. Click on com.test.LTEfunctionality
4. Launch
5. Scroll down to LTE APN Setting
6. Add " ,dun " to APN2 LTE and EHRPD internet under APN type. That line should read default, mms, dun when you finish.
7. Native Hotspot should work. You may have to do this hack again if you update Profile.

I have a VZW N8 and nothing happens when I try to launch com.test.LTEfunctionality. I tried to modify the APN settings through ADB already, and that didn't seem to take either, so I think Verizon just has the APN settings locked up pretty tight.
Do you guys have carrier locked or unlock? I still have unlimited from 2009 and the hot spot works just fine without any of this on an unlocked version....

I'm on the locked VZW, but also still have the grandfathered unlimited.
If I knew that workarounds would be available for all the network specific features, I would have definitely preferred unlocked.
Though I would not have gotten anywhere near the deal I got for the locked VZW...
So in an effort to make this as convenient as possible, I made a Bixby quick command to perform the necessary actions.
First off, I had to install the app WIFI Prioritizer and set the wrong-passworded network as #1 priority, with auto switch on. My other wifi networks all have auto switch off.
Quick command as follows:
1- Turn off wifi
2- Turn on wifi
3- Turn on hotspot
4- Turn off wifi
The timing of Bixby's execution seems perfect, however, there's a big caveat...
It seems wifi-sharing is turned off every time after disconnecting from a wifi network (including just turning wifi off when connected to a network).
I have not figured out any way to have Bixby turn wifi sharing back on.
So basically, unless you never connect to wifi, the quick command won't work without also manually turning on wifi sharing.
If anybody has any suggestions to deal with the wifi sharing issue, please let me know!
I have the Verizon version of the phone. Which is technically unlocked but with the Verizon firmware. If it's like the vzw s8 then we should be able to flash the unlocked firmware to it and the hotspot will just work. But the Verizon firmware locks down the hotspot unless you pay, or find a hack around it.
Dr, so just to confirm you have the carrier specific locked version. That would explain why you need to do this work around.
I have a non carrier specific unlocked phone on VZW network which activates the hot spot just fine without any of this.
Only reason I'm posting is to help pin down who needs this mod.
Im also used to flashing the hotspot apps when I root a new phone, which is over of the main reasons I root however I don't need it with note 8.
Does an unlocked phone on Verizon still get throttled after 15GB of Hotspot Data? I had been using an S3 with Foxfi and never got a message about using Hotspot Data till yesterday. Was looking at possibly getting another unlocked Note8 to serve as a Hotspot if I wouldn't get hit after 15GB on Verizon's new unlimited plan.

The best solution for Verizon phones is to flash the unlocked firmware onto your phone. Super easy and problem solved. The one downside is you will lose vvm and wifi calling, but I don't use those anyway. And you get rid of the Verizon bloat.

@Proweedsmoker: thanks for your post. i relied on it when i ordered my unlocked note 8. i have an unlimited data plan from 2004. the phone arrived yesterday; it "only" took 2 weeks to arrive. i went to verizon to get a micro sim card (since the sim in my note 3 is the larger version). they activated it and first thing i did was turn on the hotspot to see if i could get wifi on my note 3. it worked perfectly. huge relief; no rooting, flashing or potential brick-making procedures. i'm loving this note 8 so far.

It's a great phone but I keep going back to the V20 because of my 3 main reasons: Hi-Fi sound, Interactive 2nd Screen and the ability of picking up a call by bringing the phone to your hear.
