Hotspot on the s7 edge oreo (sprint)

Hey folks, since the oreo update I lost any hotspot or tethering in my s7 edge.
I was really frustrated about it. I went into research about the topic and I didn't find any solution for my issue. After watching a couple of videos on YouTube, the result was the same , but I got an idea and turned out working
Steps:
I download an app in playstore which is quickshort maker.
2 - once you got the app , click on it and write hotspot , you will get two options service mode and settings. Select settings
3- after selecting setting , it will give three options , select the second one, setting hotspot.
4- then you will get some options that doesn't really matter just click on try and the option of hotspot will launch.
Sorry for any inconvenience with my telling , this is the first time I'm writing something here or in any place. I hope it can work for you.

No sucess i have same problem with yours and tried your method .. when i click try its only shows blank screen.

Hello there , it seems to me that you chose the wrong option in the process.
It has to be the option option the one that only shows mobile hotspot.

I have tried to made a shortcut but nothing seems to work. So , you will have to make the process or you add that shortcut to your favorites inside the app.
It looks like sprint disabled the option from the setting in oreo. I guess they don't want us to tethering. Best of luck. I'm happy is working for you as well.

Yes there is a way but you need you install another app follow these steps:
1 install Shortcut Creator from Google Play store
2 open the app and in shortcuts select application
3 search settings then click on it
4 check the smart shortcut if your on samsung touchwiz important if your on touchwiz
5 under app activity click on it and while scrolling down search for Hotspot

And done if you followed the steps correctly Hotspot Should be on your home screen

I installed pie yesterday (need to flash ruu and after that do ota etc.) and everything is working fine. Hotspot works at 2.4 and 5 GHz, adaway works fine systemless (need to check this option in Magisk), mobile data also works (LTE +, VoLTE). Maybe you did something wrong?

Since upgrading my single SIM UK HTC u11 to Pie the notification cards in the drawer are doubling up for some apps. I've noticed this with Sonos Controller app and Google Maps commute information notification. Its like there is a notification within the notification...

The hotspot is working fine for me (3.31.401.1 and Cid 34).
I have a huge battery drain due to Google play services and the location is bit slower than Oreo (takes more time to show the current location).
I have noticed some scroll issues in YouTube and Twitter.
Sense companion is not counting steps correctly and some days there is no notification with the steps resume.
Digital wellbeing and adaptative battery are hidden (you have to search for them). I think they should be into the settings menu.

Where is adaptive battery hidden? Only place that I could even remotely find it is in developer options and even then it is just the bucket options for the apps.

Anyone who wants to see "Adaptive Battery" in your Battery settings install:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/device-health-services/
That APK. Then go back into your battery settings and you should now see Adaptive Battery. So it does exist but highly possible HTC "forgot" the APK to "enable" it since this update does look to be a bit "rushed".

In the search box under settings search for "battery". The 2nd or 3th result says administrator (sorry, I use Spanish and I do not know how it appears in English).
What you say that shows under developer options is the state of the apps that the system manage.

In English "Battery Manager" . So now there are two odd ways to get this adaptive battery, fyi installing the APK also gets access to adaptive brightness. It changes auto brightness to adaptive brightness.

hello, non native american speaker here.
I have installed lineage 16 on my HTC U11 according to this instruction.
I have massieve issues on the dialer. i can dial numbers but i can't hear anyone. i can't hear a dial tone either.

Maybe someone can help me to fix this.
Thanks in advance!

Pie update is live

Received the notification for Pie update yesterday morning for Sprint HTC U11. Thus far, it seems to run smoothly. However, I can't find it anywhere in the setting to turn on the mobile hotspot. Anyone is experiencing the same issue?

Thanks for the screenshot. For some reasons, hotspot and tethering is missing on mine phone. This is so weird. I hope I don't have to do it factory reset for that to reappear.

I am experiencing the same thing. Data usage and then NFC. No Hotspot option. Sprint also.

can you access it from the pull down hot spot should be in there.

Pull down hotspot quick setting tile has disappeared too.

I downloaded the OTA, but if I'm running Bad Boyz 8.0 rom, do I have to flash a RUU first or can I install this over Bad Boyz? Its systemless root using Magisk.

if you have root and twrp installed you can't, flash the oreo ruu(which will wipe you phone)and return you to stock then you;ll recieve the ota and go from there.
best way i know, if anyone else can do better then just chime in here.

try updating your profile in system updates, ...????

Problem solved. Please follow the instructions below:
Dial ##72786#. Note: If the dialer does not appear, tap the Dialer icon. Tap YES. The device will restart and initiate Hands Free Activation. After the device restarts it will automatically perform Hands Free Activation. Once the activation is complete, tap OK. The device will then update the PRL. Once the update is complete, tap OK. Tap OK. The device will restart.
After restarting, hotspot and tethering setting selection reappeared.

It has been said many times in the main thread, but here are only a few (I sold it because HTC is not going to fix anything):
Cannot disable the led into do not disturb mode
Digital wellbeing is not into settings menu (you have to use the search)
Adaptative battery is not into settings menu (you have to use the search)
Battery problems (I lost 1,5h SOT)
HTC sense companion is not counting steps (I think there was a new version of the app THREE months later to fix it)
Those are which I can remember and were persistent after factory reset and even after re-flash the RUU.
As I said, I sold it two months ago and I never will buy another device from this manufacturer.

I have a sprint model that i unlocked,since the update i can't use hotspot, i tried ##72786# it just gives me a menu with 4 options that i can't change.
Is there a way for me to get hotspot back?

Couldn't connect Samsung Galaxy Watch after MIUI12 is updated

Hi, I have a Xiaomi 10 pro
just updated to MIUI12
ever since then my watch has a "watch" logo on top which means is not not connected to bluetooth.
I have reset the phone's network setting a couple of times.
the watch is also reset.
I have used the Galaxy Wearable to connect the watch. It detected the watch and seems connected (but under bluetooth menu it just saved the watch setting without indicated connected)
the it stuck at the "finishing pairing" page.
Whenever it asked me for permission i either allow it when the apps open or allow it all the time.
but it just stay in that finishing parining page over 20 minutes.
any body faced this problem after updated to MIUI 12?

I am still on Miui 11 but after last security update for June had loads of issues with constant disconnect and errors with Samsung Galaxy Active 2 watch.
Gonna get rid of this and get a Mi Band 5.
I know it's totally different device but not using all the functionality currently.
Sent from my Mi 10 Pro using Tapatalk

I want to stick to a watch instead of a sport band.
Anybody could hint me?
I have tried to connect the watch to an earbud, it works perfectly fine. quick pairing and working.
however it is just not the case with the phone.
again my phone is pairing perfectly with other devices too like my car, earbud, headset.
As i do workout quite often, all the data are store in the watch and not going to the phone. also it is not uploading to the database when it is already connected to WIFI.

I have the same problem, after MIUI 12 my galaxy gear s3 can't connect to the phone, bluetooth is trying to connect but connection failed.
Tried to factory reset phone and watch - nothing helps.

I have the global rom on my mi 10 pro. I was getting the watch not staying connected. I held down the Galaxy Wearable app, hit info, and turned on auto start, and I've been fine since. Oh, I am using Galaxy Active 1 though, not 2.

But it doesn't make sense when the bluetooth connection is not even staying conencted, there is not going to help with the app with auto restart. I have still gave it a try which didn't help much.
But Thank you for the input anyways.

i thought its only me but yes i have samsung watch active 2 after miui 12 update i cant connect my phone gives a pincode to connect to the watch but the watch isnt showing any pincode to pair.

Hi, as you said there is no pincode popup, but can you see the device (in this case your active 2) when you open the bluetooth list from the PHONE?

Try clear WhatsApp App data, it will reset permissions and it should work again. You'll just have to backup and restore your whatsapp.

Also do you have a solution for the keyboard - when you reboot - it goes back to the default keyboard and not my preferred. Sugou Keyboard is therefore re-enabled as the default keyboard

S21 Exynos mobile service not working

Hi everyone, i have recently flashed the pixel experience 13+ gsi on my s21 and for some reason the mobile data just doesnt work correctly. First it connects for a few seconds and it works, then it
turns into "No service" and after a few more seconds it turns back on and the cycle repeats. When trying to
enter the mobile data settings while its glitching it just lags really bad and crashes the settings app.
Everything works perfectly fine, except for just the mobile data.. Anyone got a fix?

Try to reflash the room with a clean flash, I think something got wrong. I'm on the same rom with the same phone and I don't have any problem with mobile data. 5g is working too. Only the signal bar is shown empty but the phone is connected.

Hi, well front camera not working with Google camera ports and no real 5g. You can force 5g dialing #*#*4636*#*# and selecting NR only in network menu, but it enables a faster LTE showed as 5g.
I miss encryption too using twrp, but I'm facing to solve this, using a patched stock recovery with fastboot commands enabled as soon as I find a way to do this.
Bluetooth, double tap or fingerprint can be solved easily in pph treble settings.
Everything else is really good, I don't like OneUI. What I like being on gsi is fluidity and very fast response too.
