Just so that I'm clear. You did a Factory Data Reset in the Settings menu? Not a Reset Network Settings?
I'm experiencing the same issue with my S7 Edge.
Thank you,

Yes whole device reset not network.

Even without the icon, you can turn hotspot on and off in Settings.

Yup! That did the trick. The one thing that didn't cross my mind. XDA saves my a** and headaches big time ?

Help
Can one of you send me a unroot
odin with home.csc so i can get hotspot again pls

I rooted PG1 and had the same issue. Miss Wifi Hotspot completely no icon not in settings. I unrooted and made sure tethering was install in my stock rum. Re-rooted after getting pass the auto activation process. I check to see if tethering stucked n yes it was. Fixed.. root unroot until it sticks

One more think i did do the home.csc but didn't work for me.

I've found the cause of this. When you disable or turn off security policy updates under lockscreen and security, it will stay indefinetly.

Yeah, I finally found out from some techs that they lo-key removed the hotspot in an update because they claim that it causes the phone to overheat.

Note 3 data keeps dropping

Hi guys I need your help, I have had this note 3 for 1 month I notice that my data keeps dropping in and out but yet I have 3 to 4 bars of signal, I have pulled Sim card out and also did a soft reset but still the same problem I am wondering if this is a common problem or should I just take back the note and get a refurb note.

Hey, are you rooted or pure stock. If you're rooted I'd try flashing a different modem in Odin here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47400062
If you're pure stock and not rooted at all, I'd probably give big red a call or stop in at your nearest store for a replacement.

Thank you for this. I am running stock rooted NC2. Going to try the NC4 file to see if it helps. Both data and voice have not been great on my phone lately. Even text messages have failed sometimes.
Are these instructions correct?
-download modem file, extract
-start Odin.
-Select "phone" and fetch the modem.bin file.
-Only thing checked should be "Auto Reboot"
-Put phone in download mode
-Plug in USB
-hit Start
-reboot

I'm on vacation right now so I can't completely confirm but the modem file should show up in the ap slot. It varies from phone and area but nc4 works great for me. Some people are using the mje modem on kk. It's a trial and error for you. Hope it's just the modem and not your phone.

I experienced this issue when running on GSM networks, i fixed my data stability issue by adjusting my APN settings and changing a couple of uncommon things such as adjusting mvno type to IMSI, bearer type to LTE, and removing the port for data (not MMS!), and fixed my signal stability issue by upgrading or downgrading the modem depending on what rom i was running.
If I am under verizon because they do not use GSM how do I Change apn setting and also whatever else do I have to change on a non rooted phone.

I'm not quite sure why you'd need to change APN settings if you're still on verizon (unless you're using a network that runs off of verizon towers). But the answer to your question is go to settings > mobile networks > Access Point Names. You'll need to leave MCC and MNC as they are. Those change based on what kind of network you are connected to. If you change those your APN settings will not save.
Hi Christaina do you think by changing those setting will help my phone from dropping data on and of while on foxfi and surfing the net
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The only reason I ask is I have unlimited data and I use this for all of of my needs and I cannot afford to have data dropping so much

That honestly sounds like a modem issue but could potentially be fixed by apn settings by actually setting the authentication type, APN type set to default,hirpri,internet,mms I don't know any of the verizon APN settings because im using this phone on straight talk through AT&T towers.
flash MJE modem

Sprint SM-N915P working Native Hotspot

Through a little searching on the Note 4 threads, I found what was working for them, and simply tried it on my Edge.
-Installed the Galaxy Tools app, (not on playstore, see link below) opened app and enabled Native Hotspot.
-Rebooted, configured Native Hotspot, rebooted again.
-Started Native Hotspot, connected to PC. Initial connection took a minute, but it works great. :good:
Check out the link below.
Thanks and donations should go to-----> idone http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/themes-apps/app-one-click-hotspot-enabler-menus-t2816159
*My device is rooted, but this may work without root with the Galaxy Tools app. Sorry- ROOT Required for this method ! But hey, Why wouldn't you root? -Thats not really a question, but some people have "reasons"...
May work on other variants according to the app developer.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand thanks again to you sir! Also donated to idone for a couple of beers. Cheers!
Excellent find but you need to be rooted for this to work. The software is so smart it tells you this when you try! Believe me, I just tried it with an unrooted Edge.

How did you guys get this to work? It doesn't work for me.
Neither Sqlite "add dun" nor the Galaxytools works.
My phone reboots and repprovisions itself and reactivates.

Hmmm... I did it last week. I don't recall there being anything special I did other than click on the "Enable Native Hotspot" button and then I clicked on "Add all Notifications Toggles" down below that in order to add the "Mobile hotspot" toggle to the Notification bar drop down.
Let us know.

1. You can't do it if you are in the area of an AirRave
2. You must have "CMDA/LTE" selected in the more mobile networks options. ---Although, once you are done and back in the area you are staying in and don't need a hotspot, choosing CDMA only get's a MUCH better signal.
Then yes, the GalaxyTools app will work.
If you select CDMA only do you still get 4G since you are not selecting LTE?

I for some reason could not get this to work. I read this thread and the other and still cant figure out why. After i select enable and reboot, when i go to turn on the tether it gives me the nag and i lose data signal and then it shuts down. I am rooted and i had cdma selected in the main menus. Any ideas?

so:
1. placed files on micro sd

3. flashed files via twrp?
4. enabled root?
5. grabbed galaxy tools from the play store?
6. enjoying freeness?
Did 1-4, root confirmed with supersu and titanium backup and a few other apps that require root. Got galaxytools from the above note4 thread. Tried both methods in gtools app. Both ended up with same result. No tether. Tried both with cdma only selected in settings. Both resulted in tether starting, then immediately lose data signal, then nag about not having the tether plan, then tether closing.

Ok two questions are you doing a Profile update after you run the program? If so you are rewriting the modification and that will remove the ability to use the tether hence the statement that you don't have a data plan with tether message.
2nd Do you have a Airrave? If so you CANT USE the tether with that running, also if your towers are not running well in your area you will see the lost data connection at times, simply turn the tether on again or your local towers don't have the capacity to use the tether at this time. Which leads to the question have you used it anywhere else other then where you have tried to use it now? (i.e in a location with better towers)

looks like the sprint version is Not working dated 11/26 ?? Did you go the tmobile route? Can you explain which route you went to Root the sprint version?
I initially tried the spring method and when it didnt work i ended up flashing the tmobile version. Im guessing this tether thing doesnt work because of the towers around here. Although the sprint coverage map doesnt show it working here, i do get the spark icon at the top. I hadnt been updating profile or any of that other stuff, it just doesnt work even in cdma only. Im sure somebody will make a rom soon that will get tethering working
Thanks

Wifi calling hidden on US unlocked model

Someone on AC has the us unlocked version that you can buy from Amazon and BH and is using tmobile on it. They said wifi calling is hidden on it but if you go searching using an app like quick shortcut app you can find wifi calling and enable it that way.
If anyone has the unlocked model have you tried this? If this is the case I might just order the unlocked one.
So has anyone tried this? thinking about ordering it this weekend so would like to know.
It IS there. in Quick Shortcut maker.
I'm on AT&T and it appears enabled by default.
Not sure if it's actually doing anything - but it's there.
I got it turned on.

On the LG website for the unlocked version it list Wi-Fi calling as a feature.
On my phone I switched it to Wi-Fi calling only and it let me make calls with it

I downloaded the app quick shortcut maker and used it and search Wi-Fi calling and you will find it that way, then make a shortcut icon to it.

I have the option in settings however when clicking on "Get Started" I get a dialogue saying I must confirm my address. Eventually this times out and gives a "network unavailable" error. Probably because its trying to contact an AT&T server but I have T-Mobile.

Wi-Fi calling on AT&T working
I was searching for this using the QuickShortcut app everyone was talking about and thought it didn't exist on my phone. For anyone who was searching for "WiFi Calling" and not "Wi-Fi Calling", you do need the hyphen and then I was able to change the setting. I'm hoping this saves somebody else some frustration.

Nougat trouble

Anyone else having problems after the Nougat update? I can't send phone calls through the stock dialer. I can get a call out by clicking a number on a website or by using my textra app but not the traditional way. I am completely stock. Any ideas?

Same here. After upgrading to Nougat on stock HTC 10 Verizon variant, when selecting the "Phone" icon from the app drawer it would say "Operation denied". Open up the all apps icon on the home screen. Select Phone icon and drag to the home screen and replace the old icon. You can now open the phone dialer. Hope this helps you too.
I'm having the wifi calling issues as well. If wifi calling is turned on and I'm connected, it won't make calls out. If I'm connected to WiFi and turn off wifi calling it works fine. Haven't tried a factory reset yet but we'll see.

Great. We can always try again after an RUU is available
Spoke to a Verizon rep online and they have not received any other reports of the wifi calling issue. Is anyone else experiencing issues with the play store and Google Assistant? Probably not related to the update but just wanted to ask.

Wi-Fi calling has never been a problem , I always have it enabled. Can dial out just fine on or off Wi-Fi network or 4G.
In response to the "OP" who also could not use his "stock dialer" same as me.
By going to the "all installed apps" and selecting the dialer icon you are using the stock dialer version 8.10.878172 thereby replacing the "leftover" Version 7 Marshmallow dialer. Thats why it would say "operation denied" when using the "old" dialer icon.
Again, this solved my problem. Without having to fatory reset. Nothing to do with Wi-Fi calling in this instance.
google services not updating
I have been having intermittent issues on startup with Gmail not being able to retrieve email or updating, and Play Store also not working. Some days there are no problems, and others nothing works. I have the HTC 10 Verizon phone.
So I did more investigation on my wifi calling issue. For the people people that said wifi calling works after the update. Under the roaming preferences do you have it set to prefer wifi or cellular. If i have wifi selected no outgoing calls can be made if you are connected to a wifi network.
