I bought a sprint N920P for use in Canada. It was sold unlocked but I discovered I couldn't turn on Hotspot or change the APN. After doing some research, I found that flashing the XAS firmware I can enable the hidden settings. I can still receive OTA and Knox is not tripped. The device is unrooted. Samsung Pay is functional. Link to firmware is here. It will wipe everything so backup first!

To get hotspot settings, download Samsung good lock. This will unlock the hidden hotspot settings. You can find good lock in the galaxy apps store and the hotspot toggle in the good lock pull down menu. Long press the hotspot toggle to access hohot settings.
To make sure the new firmware works, check if the firmware wiped your phone. If the phone boots up in the factory reset state, then you're good. If it doesn't try again.
I wouldn't say this is a for sure way. True test after you flash this firmware is to have Sprint Service. Whatever firnware you have, once you pop another SIM into the Sprint Note, 5 the APNS become editable. I popped in a T Mobile SIM and I was able to edit the T Mobile APN.

Do devices connect tho? I have the same unlocked SM-N920P on a Canadian carrier, but when I try to connect a device to the hotspot, it doesn't work.

Yes devices do connect. On my phone I created a hotspot and I was able to link iPhone, and windows.

I flashed the firmware that you included in the link, and I after installing I still cant find the hotspot option in the settings menu. Do you mind going a little further in depth in how you activated the hotspot?

As I suspected this does not work. He is able to edit the APN because he is on another carrier and not Sprint. Flashing firmware doesn't do anything.
He said he wiped the phone to factory state after he flsshed the firmware. Did you do that?

I'm not using sprint either, I have a sprint note 5 but running on Fido network in Canada. I'm hesitant to wipe my phone as the method may not even work. Maybe if OP responds, he can explain how he is able to enable hotspot.
I can access APN settings fine, but the hotspot function is non-existent in settings.

There is another thread he posted in - he just said that he did a factory reset. Did you do that? Anyone can access APN but not be able to edit the hotspot settings. I could do that on a stock Sprint Note 5. Sprint just greys out certain parts.

So after downloading Good Lock from the Samsung store hotspot menu seems to popup, but I'm having trouble actually having devices connect to my note 5. The wifi connection is seen, but the farthest I can go is "obtaining Ip address". Does anyone know how to solve this?

Well after a factory reset, nothing. Hotspot isn't available in the settings menu. :crying:

Looks like you have to download Good Lock. Let me know if this works. Didn't work for me on Sprint.

You have to install samsung good lock. It's available in the galaxy apps store. Read my OP for more info.
Try on different devices. Does computer work? Does its work? If they all don't work check your mobile data settings, apn settings and Hotspot settings.
So far this is not working for anyone one than the OP. I am considering this a non fix. If someone who has a Sprint phone is able to use Sprint service AND can edit APN that is a fix. Taking a Sprint phone and popping in a SIM from another carrier and being able to edit APN is not a fix but pretty common. Again I took a T Mobile SIM and popped into my Sprint phone and voila I am able to edit T Mobile's APN - because apparently T Mobile does not block access to edit APNs but Sprint DOES. I'm glad this worked for you Justinxfan - here's hoping for a true fix for the rest of us!
hey,
I want to buy a Sprint Note5 from ebay.
I'm going to use it on koodo in Canada
If I dont have access to apn settings does that mean I cannot use data on it?

You can use data just fine, it's just that the hotspot functionality is blocked on the sprint note 5.

If you reboot the phone, upon boot, immediately go into enable hotspot, it will work until you reboot again. I've done this on several road trips with the kids and the unlimited plan comes in handy with three streaming youtube or netflix.

Hi, my mate 9 mobile data stopped working today for no reason, only thing I did was connect the phone to the hotel wifi last night, not sure why is doing this. I tested the sim card on another phone and mobile data works fine so is not a service provider issue, has anyone experienced same behavior before? I already restart the phone and verify mobile settings but issue persist and have no data traffic unless I connect to wifi

Have you checked Settings -> More that data is turned on for mobile? Also check your APNs. Settings -> More -> Mobile Network -> Access point names.

yes all settings checked, I even disable restarted and enable them again
Are you on T-Mobile? If so it's an APN bug.. You have to create a new APN with the same settings and use that. The default one causes mobile data to keep being lost...
Thanks, this fixed it for me.

Was driving me nuts, took some trial and error. FYI i think some of the newer roms no longer have this issue, although because of the stupid Huawei blocking updates by IMEI you might need to install via FirmwareFinder.
Great thanks!! But I keep mine stock.
lost data
hi, Thanks' for your help, but in my case are not working.
I'm in France with Free Mobile, Since yesterday I lost data after being connected to a wifi.
I checked the settings and are fine
Mobile data: on
4g: on
Apn: erase the olds and make the 2 new following instruction on their site
mobile operator: auto
Any other solution ? or maybe is the phone operator?

I got the solution calling my mobile operator. They blocked for some unknown reason my data.

I purchased a Global version 1+7P (GM1917) directly from OnePlus. Then I signed up for T-Mobile service.
I am having problems with calls coming in over Wi-Fi. However, in Settings under Wi-Fi & internet, there is no Wi-Fi calling entry, so I cannot find how to turn off Wi-Fi calling.
Is there another method for turning it off? A package I can disable? (I have root.)

Under Settings -> Wi-Fi & internet -> SIM & network, there is Preferred network type, but that only set 2G/3G/4G. Nothing about Wi-Fi calling. I couldn't find anything called 'Mobile network'.

either install the new onepluslogkit app and *#800# into oneplus logkit/function switch/volte+vowifi switches on
This option will allow you to turn on/off as above. but in sim settings/ Sim1/Enhanced Communications
Or *#*#4636#*#* and turn off provisioning for volte/vowifi.

Tried the OnePlusLogKit, but the *#800# didn't bring up anything.
Tried *#*#4636#*#*, but when I toggled 'WiFi Calling Provisioned', it would "stick" - the Update button produced an error, and it reset on reboot.

That did it! I didn't realize there were more settings under SIM 1. The Wi-Fi Calling under it doesn't show up on searching in Settings. Thanks.
I hope one day wifi calling works with Verizon. The settings are greyed out

What kind of problems are you having with calls over wifi? I plan to use the 7pro on tmobile so I'm just curious

This may all be my misconstruing the problem. After turning off wifi call, I tried calling my wife (which was where I notice the problem), and we still couldn't hear each other. Yet when I call voicemail, I can hear it and I can change my announcement which shows that the phone does work both ways. Therefore, now I'm thinking that wifi calling was not the issue, and the fault is somewhere with t-mobile. The mystery continues.
The mystery deepens. Using Google Hangouts Dialer (which goes over wifi), calling my wife fails (nothing heard either way), but calling voicemail, again, works just fine. I just don't get it.

Thanks for this thread. I knew I saw that somewhere but forgot to check the SIM menu.
Why isn't it in settings search when even dev options are?
Why does TMO lie and way it is in the same spot as most phones, in their article specifically about the OP7p?
My issue in on a WiFi call, sometimes I can't hear them (but they can hear me), sometime from the call start other times mid-call, and turning off WiFi fixes it. I have 1000mb fiber and no other network issues. Too bad it doesn't work. Thanks for helping me disable it.
Hi all,
Here is my situation and problem. I have 2 Sims:
SIM 1: Google Fi - my personal number, I want to use it for phone calls only even though it has a small data lan
SIM 2: Verizon - work sim, I want all the data to go through here.
My setting is phone call sim 1 and data Sim 2.
When I make a phone call via SIM1, I lost LTE on my SIM2.
I did call Verizon to get the CDMA LESS feature turned on.
If I were to change the setting to phone call and data through the same sim, then VoLTE works just fine. So I think this is an issue with the phone itself/settings.
Thoughts?

You need to go into settings "SIM & network settings".
Select "Dual 4G networks".
I don't have your issue.

Can't believe there are so few of us having this issue. Why would the LTE turn off when I'm not even using that sim?
Probably many are using just a single SIM.
Have you tried switching the sims in the slots?

I have no help. In January Mint had an issue where their SIM had to be in slot 1. So I flipped SIMs. Truphone won't work either.
In pixel 7 pro, Can we Switch mobile data automatically during call so that data is active during call.
This was available in oneplus
Hmm, I anyways lost connectivity with my OnePlus phones are well when in call...
What country are you in? Possibly carrier-related. With US Verizon this isn't an issue. When I was roaming in another country this issue popped up.
Interesting. I'm in Greece. There used to be a time that connection didn't go down but I never figured out the specifics of why.

Are you sure that you're not referring to VoLTE?
If 3G is shut off on your network and you don't have VoLTE then you call with 2G
2G doesn't permit data session with a call going on
Really not sure. All providers here support VoLTE but not sure how to check it. I think there used to be an OOS version that showed an indication for such calls but I then lost it.

All you need to do is to go to Network and Internet - SIMs - VoLTE (turn it on) & Preferred network type ( set it to LTE or 5G).
