Just bought an Asus nexus 7 3g 32 GB and I bought an micro sim card. I have 1gb to spend on data but I can't connect the nexus. Are there any setting I have to make to be connected? The signal bar is full and I received already some welcome message from the mobile company I signed. I connect at the internet via WiFi now and works fine but no via my data connection. Something else. Is there any way to use my n7 to make phone calls receive or send messages? I am very sorry about my English and thanks spending time to read this either you answer or no.thanks a lot. I live in Greece and I have a contract at Wind network.
I think you need APN settings.

Is there some kind of a micro usb device that would allow me to get cell phone service on my N7 wifi?

If by "cell phone service" you mean data service, then yes. voice service, no.
to get data service you need:
- to be rooted
- PPP Widget or PPP Widget 2 app
- a USB OTG cable/adapter
- a 3g modem (or phone to use as modem)

Will VoIP not work? I use VoIP all of the time for free calls, it doesn't matter if it's on wifi or cellular, so long as you have the bandwidth for it... Doesn't take that much, but something super slow like EDGE or original 3G might not cut it.

Thanks....I just got magicjack for the house and got an app for it also. Now I can use it as a phone whenever I have wifi.
Does anyone know if the usb/ or hotspot of foxfi/pda net or other non native teathering apps work on the z force droid? ive been on unlocked and rooted phones for a while but i'm just not seeing anything that i want. i bought a oneplus 3 then found out it didn't have the lte bands for verizion. derp. but i think id go back to a locked phone for this modular deal as long as i could still teather with pda net. cuz i ant pay'n no 30 bucks for Verizon to "unlock" the capability of my phone. pffffffftttttttttt.
just curious if anyone knows or could check
FoxFi/PDA works fine over bluetooth.
what about usb or wifi?

Both bluetooth and USB work, but WiFi requires a mobile hotspot plan (which I don't have, so I can't test).
If you are the only one on your plan, go prepaid, I dont pay extra and the stock tethering under settings works just fine

I searched for the same, tried a number of apps, tried all of these recommended root apps & protocols ended up with the same disappointing result. Most of it just didn't work or no one could provide the necessary tools in proper sequential steps.
With you phone powered on remove your sim card. Go to Mobile hot spot & tethering, activate blue tooth tethering.wait a few minutes put your sim back in. you should now be able to pair devices with your phone and share its internet connection..

Found this in the other threads regarding hotspot. If you download "Network Signal Refresher Lite" from 8JAPPS in the playstore you can use native tethering. Just open the app and hit refresh and the moment you lose service drag down the quick tiles and tap the hotspot button. Been using this on my Moto Z Droid for the past few days and it works perfectly

Great tip. works like a charm. and i see why, its so simple. if ya wanted something similar without downloading the app id imagine pulling your sim or anything that pops the radio off for a few so it can't call home and ask for permission.

Use Network signal refresher
Does anyone know of any workarounds? Network Signal Refresher stopped working for me with Nougat as well.
Yesterday they had an update for Network Signal Lite to version 5.0. Didnt work for me.
Today they have another update to version 5.1 hoping it fixes the issue. Just figured I would share.
i take it popping the sim doesn't work as well then. seams as if they might have closed the "if not able to call home let hotspot on anyway" bug then.

Popping the sim card does indeed work just hit the hotspot icon in the quick settings right after you reinsert it. Been doing since the first day nougat came out and it works every time.

I've been doing this, and it does work, but I'm finding it turns itself off after a short time - are you seeing this as well?
Link to rom https://mega.nz/#!aR9nhD6C!o8AMqOU1c-WQ3XKmFAZ9yjtld5dxtUT3rzO_cyDif1s
Link to Sprint Data fix for N910P by me, it may also work on GSM you try.
I'm on PH4 boot/modem.
https://www.mediafire.com/download/1bu6a2slut4xcgv
Flash Rom then Data Fix. boot time, around 10 min.
Then...Go to your device storage look for the folder called (LTE N.ISPSN), you will see the instruction file, screenshots and Step 2.zip. Let's get started!!
Hit Thanks.

Sms works?
I gave the rom another try and so far everything is working for me. LTE, sms, mms, and calling all working. Also im on PH4
What about fingerprint scanner and private mode do they work?

If you look in the other threads for the Red Dragon ROM they outline how to get the fingerprint scanner working. In a nutshell you need to flash the Note 4 settings record your fingerprint, then you need to flash note 7 settings after.
HOTSPOT
Have you been able to get hot spot on this ROM ?
I'm also noting that this lost the Hotspot. Did it get removed in the process of making sms work?

It was working but the rereleased version that got sms working seems to have removed HOTSPOT functionality. I'm looking into solutions, I use mine all the time in the car so would really like to see it working again

I am on a UDP and was able to get the built in wireless tethering working.
1. Eject the Sim Card tray ( Just a little bit)
2. Open up the settings menu (not the drop down shortcut)
3. Go to mobile hotspot and tethering
4. re-insert sim card tray
5. click to enable mobile hotspot
6. enjoy tethering

I can confirm this works on a Verizon Note 8, day 1 about 30 minutes fresh out of the box.
edit: This is on an old school UDP, as the new UDP's don't require any work-arounds.
This works for about 30 seconds then turns off mobile hotspot, any ideas ? I have a note8 for Verizon also.

have you tried the generic one? i know it works for me on sprint
but soft reset the phone or just reboot. as soon as its on, pull down the notification bar and hit hotspot quick.
if it turns on see if it stays on, if so then your good to go, but once you turn it off you'll have to reboot again to use.
Unlocked Note 8 grandfather UDP works fresh out the box with not sim eject bypass.
@ixcknyxi Do you have foxfi or any other hotspot apps installed on your phone?
Foxfi doesn't work for hotspot just BT and USC on note8. Unlocked versiom works like a charm I am sure.

I know foxfi wifihotspot doesn't work due to the firmware (7.0). I was just asking if you had it installed on your phone.
I have installed, Should I uninstall?
ixcknyxi said:

Click to expand...

No, you can leave it installed.
Turn on (check) the activate bluetooth mode on foxfi then try the sim card bypass method, connect a wifi device while its on, then you can turn off the bluetooth mode on foxfi.
Let me know if that works. Im almost 100% sure it will stay on.
You can try with bluetooth or with USB mode on on foxfi.
Does anyone know if that method worked...debating whether or not to return the Verizon Note 8 to get the Unlocked one from Bestbuy.
I tried the Bluetooth option in FoxFi, nothing worked. The problem is the mobile hotspot doesn't stay on long enough to allow anything to connect. I haven't had luck with signal refresher Lite or Pro either. Any other ideas for the Verizon version of the Note 8?

-Try with it on and the phone plugged in with usb.
If that doesn't work,
Uninstall everything and clear cache. I had this issue with my s8+. The hotspot apps you installed are interrupting the hotspot and it shut it off in a few seconds. Remember, you must time it right

This method works 100%. I am with Verizon and I would recommend the unlocked version if you are a heavy hotspot user and if you DO NOT use wifi calling. Using the hotspot doesn't require the sim removal method, it can be a pain in the butt after a while.
I'm a tad baffled because my hotspot works just fine on my Verizon model. No SIM trick needed to activate it.

This worked leyvatron! Thank you so much! Clearing the cache did the trick, for good measure I uninstalled the other apps also.

I've only seen this issue when the 4G LTE signal strength isn't great, I've tethered on my phone without issue using this method, no shutoff after 30 seconds. Not sure what's going on your end :-/

Hotspot/Tethering on old school UDP is not included unless you paid an extra $30/month for it, which is why this method (or root, or ADP, or an unlocked device) is required.
