How do you go about updating PRL / profile? Is it under settings like the Gnex? Thanks! Just curious before I buy.

I believe it should be possible
It uses a WTR1605L Chip and from what it appears CDMA tools should work on it.
My goal is to get one working PagePlus however, I canceled my order in fears that it may not work and will wait until it's confirmed.

Yes, it's possible.

Anything about CDMA Only?

Nothing on the user accessible settings although you can switch to LTE or 3G only instead of global and the device will recognize your carrier settings. There should be more stuff under *#*#3282#*#*

Settings-->more (under wireless & networks)->mobile networks->Network mode (choose from LTE/3g/1x/Global - Global is apparently the default - phone switches to that after a profile/PRL update).

[Q] APN settings in Android 5 gone?

I am running Android 5.0.1 on my Nexus 5 and my carrier is Sprint. I need to change my APN settings, but I can't seem to find them. All the posts I find say to go to, " Applications > Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names", but those are instructions for previous versions of Android. I have not been able to find the location in Android 5. Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm Running Android 5.0.1 too and my access point settings are under Settings > More > Mobile networks > Access point names? How far are you able to get by following those instructions?

I don't have the mobile networks option.
I've attached a picture of my "more" option.

Go in to the "secret dialer" menu. Open your dialer and type *#*#46363#*#*, go to "Phone Information", and scroll down. There'll be a menu labled "Set preferred network type". Your phone is CDMA and mine is GSM, so the options might be different than what I see. Just choose the one with the most options (with LTE of course). Wait several moments and see if you've got a data connection.
EDIT: I just noticed in your pictures that you're connected to WiFi. Maybe the APN settings don't show up unless you're connected through cellular data? They show up on mine when connected to WiFi, but one phone is a Samsung running 4.2.2, and the other is a Nexus 4 running a custom 4.4.4 ROM, so that could be different from stock Lollipop.
Dumb question perhaps, but are you sure you didn't accidentally toggle your data off?

*#*#46363#*#* didn't work for me. When I finished typing it, the number just disappeared.

Update profile and update PRL. Neither of these options actually work.

Hmm, that seems strange, would it be possible for you to change ROM to a custom, and then see if you could access network settings? If not then maybe try a simple factory reset?

I'll give it a shot. It'll have to be later tonight or tomorrow though. I'll post the results then.

Yeah that sounds good. Best of luck!

Does mobile hotspot use more battery with 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz?

Anyone know?

5 GHz isn't going to run at 80 MHz channel width and the WiFi radio is obviously much weaker than any routers, however since it still allows for higher data transfer rates than 2.4GHz, I'm assuming the 5GHz band will consume more battery.

The S8 can put out 5ghz for hotspot? where is the setting for this? i can only see it sayihng 2.4ghz and cant change it.
Thx

Tap change advanced options in configure hotspot. Where do you see 2.4ghz?

But that option isn't there on my phone (unbranded uk).
I did some digging and saw screenshots with the option though.

Mobile Hotspot

Is there anyway to enable mobile hotspot tethering on the G7 Power. Didn't know until today that is doesn't have it.

Doesn't have it? You mean it doesn't show up under Settings -> Network & internet -> Hotspot & tethering or the options are greyed out? What variant do you have?

? Availability depends on the carrier you are with also the plan you have. I had a T-mobile SIM without Hotspot on my plan and Hotspot was Grayout until I add the Hotspot to my plan. After that it was available

Hence my question. If it's not on his plan he just has to add net.tethering.noprovisioning=true to build.prop. If it's blocked in firmware he'll probably need to crossflash.

Set network mode to 2G/3G only

Is there any way to set network mode to 2G/3G only?
In settings there are only options for 5G/LTE or LTE.

Korean also.
Try going settings, network and internet, global roaming, network mode.
Going from other menu is indeed disabled the 3g

cant you use 4g?

I can but during events with large crowds, 4G network can sometimes get so congested where 3G actually works better.
It has to do with having a bad mobile network operator as well

You are my saviour, thanks!

You can use also the 4G Switcher app on the Playstore.
