I recently bought unlocked S8+ SM-G955U.
Unfortunately it's network options are very limited, in comparison to AT&T S8+. Can't seem to find tethering options or HD voice (enhanced) and I need tethering for work.
Contacted Samsung guy at bestbuy he says he can't help.
Any advise?
I have the unlocked SM-G955U1 and it has tethering in the Notification Center.
Not sure what could be the deal with yours.
Try settings then connection, In connection you will find Mobile hotspot and tethering. exynos version. FD955

Sorry if this has been posted before....but is it possible to flash a T-mobile ROM on a Verizon note 5?
I left big red for T-Mobile and bought a unlocked Note 5 that was originally on Verizon.
It works fine with T-Mobile and I am overall happy with the network.
However I travel a lot and would like the option of WIFI calling and also to be able to use the free in air txting on GOGo inflight.
In order to do that it seems I need the T-mobile firmware? Or is this something I can flash?
As the phone is now I have no option to turn on WIFI calling in any of the the settings.
Thanks!
Nope. If you try. You will soft brick it. Only way to recover is Odin back to stock TMO firmware. I attempted with and s4 and s6 from Verizon. I eventually caved and ponies dup for a TMO note 5. The lack of volte alone killed me.
I have a N920V as well and am now using t mobile with great Lte speeds. You 1)dl BK Package Disabler app for Samsung, 2)give it admin permission and disable all Verizon packages (except Mobile Hotspot And Tethering to keep that function), 3)input APN settings for t mobile manually, then reboot. I am unrooted and have great network functionality that rivals Verizons so called superior service.
For in flight free texting there is no need for TM firmware. I have international Note 4 (N910F) with generic rom for TM plan. GoGo works fine during my frequent Delta flights.
I have s7 verizon and have used many verizon galaxy on t-mobile. Wi-Fi calling cant be added. I am able to use the internet intermittently whilst talking but on 3g. On some verizon phones it was nothing while talking.
I have the nexus 6 on Verizon. I really would like to have the note 5. Will the T-Mobile note 5 work on Verizon?

Does anyone have this active and working.
Morons at Vodafone insist you only get this if you buy direct (I did and a Red plan) and still nothing, works fine on my old S7 but not the old s6 after Nougat.
The phone setting does not exist and Vodafone are as clueless as always.

So first, I have a prepaid SIM Card from Pagepluscelluar. I just got a new Verizon Galaxy Note 5, coming from my Galaxy S5 that had a custom ROM. On my S5, I was able to just turn on the Hotspot. But as I've come to understand, there's no root or unlocked bootloader for the Note 5. Is there any wifi tethering apps or anything I can possibly do to get it working? I'm just trying to play on my Xbox with my friends again. :\
Nevermind! I figured out a way.
How did you do out?!?!?!

Well, I only use the Hotspot for my Xbox One. I bought PDANet for USB tethering on my laptop. Then, I bought Connectify Hotspot which allowed me to turn my laptop into a Hotspot using the PDANet connection.

My Hotspot and Tethering icon is greyed out. http://motorola-global-en-roe.custh...nd-use-portable-hotspot---motorola-one-vision
Motorola says that this is due to carrier subscription, but every phone I've had this Sim card in has allowed Hotspot to function.
Does this mean it's disabled because this is an international version of the phone?
Is there a way around this that doesn't require software modification?

I got XT1970-3, reteu. Hotspot works fine here and usb/bluetooth tethering can be enabled too.
Well, I got into a fiasco with AT&T. A friend was telling me that he had to update his pixels imei with the carrier. I chatted with AT&T and the result was that they shut off my wireless data for 4 days. Data was restored at midnight last night, but I still don't have tethering.

After the OTA this week, the tethering is active, but the rom dropped me from LTE to HSPA+. I guess I'm going to dig around to see how to fix that.
