Filedash features comes inbuilt in OnePlus file manager, When we try to use this it renames the hotspot settings permanently and making hotspot as open
Next time when we turns on anybody can connect to our device. Seems to security threat

I was able to find a solution to re-activating the native hotspot feature on my Honor 8. Before, if I went to turn on my hotspot I was told I needed to activate the service from ATT, which I never had to do on my old Android device (perks of being on EMUI). The solution I used camefrom the Honor 5x forums found here.
This will require your device to be rooted. A tutorial for unlocking your bootloader, installing TWRP, and rooting for the Honor 8 can be found here.
Once rooted you will need to download a root explorer (file manager) that will allow you to access your system files. I used Root Explorer.
Go to System/App and then delete the ATTEntitle folder.
After rebooting your phone you should be able to use your native hotspot tethering!

Do you think it's region and/or mobile operator related?
I purchased my phone from Best Buy (USA) Unlocked. I use Cricket Wireless with an Unlimited Data plan, which was restricting my ability to tether. I believe that this would be for any Honor 8 due to due to their EMUI ROM.
Anyone else not have this issue? Coming from AOSP, I just want to help others get the feautes/control out of their phone they expect.

Some operators do block teetering while others say they do but in fact they don't.
At least from my experience.
I think this is carrier related. In the US there are differences in phones in different carriers in a single phone. Here in Asia we don't have that problem.

I wasn't able to make this work on L04 with StraightTalk on EMUI 5
Am I the only one having problem with this?
Doing this did enable my hotspot capability, but it made my call log stop working. I put the folder back and rebooted and it did make the call log work again but unfortunately leaving hotspot enabled before reboot did not leave it on when the phone came back on.
So I'm having this issue where my SM-G950F looses ALL known Networks when Wifi gets toggled.
I installed the update which came on the 21.04 but since I'm rooted I can't recieve OTA Updates anymore
Wlan driver is: Wlan v1.0 Release 1
Is there any fix for this?
Exactly the same issue with root here
I'm also rooted and having the same issue
Still happening .... does noone have a clue how to fix this ?
I've got the very same issue. It's very annoying. Hope someone finds a fix soon.
I'm also on a rooted Samsung S8+.
I think I have the same problem, but only when the WiFi-network has a password. It will remember the networks without password but as soon as I reboot or toggle Wifi it will have forgotten the network and password.
I also noticed the information disappears from the wpa_supplicant.conf-file.
I tried to solve it by:
- Deleting cache and data of google backup transport
- Deleting the DHCP-folder in /data/mics/
- Deleting the network-info in wpa_supplicant.conf
- Setting ro.secure.storage=false to false in BuildProp
- Deleting the ss_data-folder in /efs/
Nothing worked.
I have a Galaxy S8 (SM-G950F), Android 7.0 rooted with Magisk. To make room for Open GApps I had to remove some system-apps.
- Any of you installed Open GApps as well?
- I also noticed I had to enter a bluetooth passkey today. Although I previously connected my phone to my car. Could it be bluetooth is also affected?

I've also rooted with Magisk but I haven't removed any apps/installed GApps.
I've noticed the same with Bluetooth, my Zenwatch3 will ask me to confirm the passkey on my phone before pairing.
Did you by any chance enable 'unified hosts adblock' in Magisk? It was the cause of my problems. Disabled that and it worked.

Hmm interesting...
I've enabled "systemless host" in magisk but I'm using AdAway app rather than the "Unified Hosts Adblock" module.
I'll mess about with these and see if it resolves.
Same issue here on 955f, rooted with magisk, dhcp folder and file changed, systemless host off and still no wifi in memory. Has someone performed wipe to see if the issue has been resolved this way? Thanks
Hello there,
I have Galaxy S7 Edge(SM-G935FD) I've installed S8 launcher simply by installing apk and its working fine. But I can not install S8's weather app and AOD on my device. When I try to install the APKs it says, "the package conflicts with an existing package by the same name". There are many people who are facing the same problem. What should I do? Is there any solution?
P.S. I don't want to root my device.
Apparently all those who have April security patch installed (including me) facing with this error !
It looks like Samsung is blocking us from getting install system apps updates on its latest April patch.
I don't know if this annoying interdiction occurred in May security patch or not, maybe someone with May security patch will confirm if "app not installed the package conflicts with an existing package by the same name" still present or not !
As I know there is no workaround which can fix this, maybe a downgrade to January or February security patch will ! I want to know that too !
I had formatted and signed in with Google and Samsung accounts. No lock settings yet. Disable data and Wi-Fi.
I was able to install the apks downloaded from apkmirror. Yes I was on the latest firmware.
Edit: Turning off mobile data and Wi-Fi also helps
Hi,
After receiving an OTA update I my phone got updated to May security patch.
As we all know, after this we are unable to download apk's in order to update the apps due to package conflicts etc etc.
I think I found a easy workaround that ad been working, at least for me, always I needed. Just finished updating 7 apps.
They procedure is ad follows:
1. Download the app (I always use apkmirror)
2. Go to Samsung File Manager/My Files and create a shortcut of the app to your Home screen
3. Go to settings > lockscreen & security
4. Disable all lockscreen securities
5. Reboot phone
6. Install all apps by clicking on the shortcuts you created.
After this you can enable lockscreen securities again.
That's it, easy as that!
Please share your experiences to see if also work for you.

It's working flawless on my device.
Are you sure you followed the steps correctly?

Same here
Yea I already tried this a while back, seems to work for some, not others
That said, there are some apps that will still install on mine with the April patch that also caused problems, the latest TouchWiz Home installs fine, and so does the latest Gallery
I think the problem is with the apps not the security patch, as previous versions would not install, latest versions will
Maybe some apps are not compatible with the update you are running until they are also updated
I tried to update several apps but I wasn't able. Seems like this method is not working for me anymore....
Most of the Verizon updates have been buggy and this one seems to follow that model. And my phone is currently working passably well -- except for the new popups that want me to update.
I turned off automatic updates under developer options, but that has had no effect. The update was downloaded without my consent. I want to stop the nagging and delete or rename the update file.
I have two different file manager programs but neither of them seem to be able to see the system folder, even though I have enabled the "show hidden files" option. I thought I could perhaps suss out the name of the update package by sorting by date but I can't even find the folder for it. I've tried X-Plore File Manager and Solid Explorer Classic but neither seems to show me the system folder. I am not very familiar with Android but have worked with Linux and Windows systems in the past.
I find it infuriating that Verizon can force software onto a phone that I own. I have a pre-pay plan so it was purchased with a one-time payment and not bought from Verizon. I'm tired of their buggy updates.
Here is what I did,,,which you should be able to do as long as you can root.
1. Root your phone using the easy root/unroot option in the dev section
2. Go to the play store and buy Package Disabler Pro,,,well worth the 1.50
3. Once you give Package Disabler Pro root permission find the two software update apps in the list and disable them.
4. Go back to the easy root/unroot thread and follow the easy directions to unroot. This will also wipe your devices cache,,,which is where your downloaded update is probably residing now hence the update notifications. It wont wipe your device just the cache as part of the unroot process.
5. Once your unrooted, and back to stock, you can check like I did and see that the two software update apps are still disabled and no more update notifications.
The only thing different would be the app names for Verizon updates as I am running U firmware on my Verizon S7 Edge so there is not a lot of bloatware that I had to disable from the start. Here is a screenshot on my apps unrooted. They are still disabled thank God lol.
