Anyone take the update that can check APN settings to see if we can change the APN after this update?
All greyed out ?

Even though the APN is greyed out and my APNs are stock. I can still use the power off method for hotspot.
Restart your phone, go into hotspot settings, turn off wifi sharing, turn on wifi sharing, turn on hotspot. It works for me.
When you turn on WiFi sharing, are you connected to an active WiFi network? If so, what you're seeing isn't tethering, it's WiFi sharing. Does this work if there is no active WiFi network in range?
What's the software version for the 5/6/16 update (e.g., PB5, PD3, or newer?
yep I agree with mereweb it's wifi sharing your highness, I've been checking every web site for Root every day, Dead End
Sorry

I personally haven't had any issues and I'm on TMo UK. Have you tried enabling it both ways? From the wireless settings in the settings menu and from the app in the app drawer?

When I connect, it takes about 5 to 8 minutes until I can get access. Try leaving it connected for a while.
on tmobile uk too and no issues here. start the hotspot, search on the laptop for the wifi name and enter code.
Maybe post the steps you have done so far so people can try and see whats wrong?

Select Hotspot app
Inputed router name and security code WPA(TKIP) 9 letters
Selected checkbox 'Portable Wi-fi Hotspot'
Searched on laptop for router and inputed WPA
Laptop connected
Started internet app like firefox
On phone in the notification area the hotspot '3G' text (not the symbol) keeps dropping after a few mins and reappears
Ok sorted I think there was a problem with the apn I removed user and password entries and all sorted.

Hi Bigbot -
I am using your 15-1 beta deodex and found something weird. Actually it happened on previous rom too, but did not verify it on other rom, only found out this time time around. I'm on the latest BOG5 firmware and the only way to fix this is to reboot the phone.
When I have WIFI ON, internet is fine.
When I turn OFF WIFI and use data, internet is fine too.
Turn ON Mobile Hotspot from data, internet is fine too.
BUT...., If I were on WIFI AND internet is fine, I turn ON Mobile Hotspot. I got a warning saying that "turning on Mobile Hotspot will turn off WIFI". I press OK and check internet, it is fine. And this is where it gets weird, if I turn OFF Mobile Hotspot and turn ON WIFI, my WIFI connects but NO INTERNET. Check my router and router said phone is CONNECTED, but phone has no internet. Ping the phone from the other computer connected to the same router return fine. Phone cannot ping anything on the same router or to the internet. The ONLY WAY to resolve the WIFI internet now is to reboot the phone.
BUT.... if I were going from WIFI to Mobile Hotspot by turning OFF WIFI FIRST, WAIT a few second and then TURN ON Mobile Hotspot. When I go back to WIFI, it is FINE. I CAN connect to internet. It is only when I allow the system to turn OFF WIFI by itself to activate Mobile Hotspot will I loose my WIFI internet when I reconnect back to WIFI.
Do you know what is going on? It seemed like if the system turn OFF WIFI by itself to connect to Mobile Hotspot, it is also doing something more that when you turn ON WIFI it won't connect to the internet.
Hopefully you understand what I'm going through. It's been a few weeks like this that I finally find out the culprit.

You don't have to be rooted I'm stock unlimited plan
Let me know if it works for you
I've been looking for ways to get the mobile hotspot active due to me having unlimited data on AT&T ( US ). To no prevail just like everyone I realize that at&t has block almost every possible way to use the mobile hotspot with unlimited data and it looks like a decent reliable root is going to keep changing as exploits are closed.
But....
I stumbled on this glitch so I had to share.
1. Turn your wifi on your note 7
2. Connect to a WiFi doesn't matter if it has Internet access or not )
3.Turn on wifi sharing in hotspot top right. 3 dots
4. Now connect the device your wanting to use. ( I used my Xbox ) ( I had to go into my network setting on my Xbox and configure a new connection)
6. Now once you've connected, go to " mobile hotspot and tethering WiFi Sharing Off "
7. Don't clear any notifications, And don't click the set up device.

works :good:
Is this only for people who are rooted? Because if I even try to turn on mobile hotspot I get an error message.

Yes it does! Look though your settings
Duh my bad I didn't click on mobile hotspot
I must be missing something, how is this different from normal tethering? I don't have unlimited but do have more mobile data than I can use and often let my daughter tether data through me.
This is for unlimited plans we don't get free tether

Can you explain how you're able to turn on mobile hotspot with an unlimited account? I just got my new note but I'm running into the same problem at step 3 when I get the "mobile hotspot is unavailable" error. Then it automatically turns it back off. Am I missing something or is this only popping up on my device?

First connect to a wifi, than under the quick toggle for "Moble hotspot" you need to tap the words "Mobile hotspot" to bring up next shade, than tap "More Settings" once there tap the 3 dots and select "Wifi sharing" than select "Turn on WiFi Sharing, than click the toggle to turn on hotspot. Once on click the 3 dots and go back to "Wifi Sharing" and turn it off and you are ready to go!
not sure if I am missing something but when I enable wifi, then click on Mobile hotspot and teathering, there are no 3 buttons on the top right corner

Amazing. Thank you

So if you are on the road and you don't have an available wifi to connect to, is this still possible? Is there a work around?

There isn't but as long as you keep that hotspot on you will be good and it shouldn't go away plus there is always wifi at a some truck stops

Got it. So the work around is to always keep it on. I'm sure there will be a small battery drain but it's worth it
Keep it on only if your going to be using it like trips and long rides

When I switch on the Hotspot option in settings my WiFi de-activates automatically. If I then re-enable my WiFi the Hotspot turns off. Am i missing something? It doesn't make sense. I am on the new B10 firmware standard build. No root.
Has anyone else come across this problem.?
I've not tried a factory reset yet!
What do you think you are missing? Pretty sure that's how it works.

As above, that would be normal behaviour.
The only way you could have both Wifi and Wifi Hotspot on concurrently would be if phones had 2x Wifi chips.
The idea is you either share your phones data connection with other devices via a hotspot, or you connect to a hotspot or other device with your wifi.

With my S8 I noticed it would connect to Wi-Fi randomly going down the road. It was always an xfinity WiFi but it wouldn't really have service. found out hotspot 2.0 is crap turned it off and now no problem.
I don't see this option on my phone, where is it located ?
