Ohttps://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...ate-hotspot-lg-g5-vs987-t3610819#post73070165
Guy here figured it out.
After made with es explorer i can turn on hospot any time without being subscribed to crickets hotspot.
Update does not persist throught reboots

Doesn't work with stock sprint ls992. It just redirect me to tethering subscribe screen.

you can try to use "Hidden Menu Call" App to open APN Settings, then add text "dun" into "APN type" and save it. After it , you can open hotspot form "Settings-Tethering-WiFi hotspot"

No the hidden call menu apk is a non root app
but even adding dun to the apn you still have to subscribe to it

I added ,dun to the APN but it just turns off by itself with this error message.
Add. Oh, you said I still need to subscribe hotspot even though I add,dun to APN. It is not for me than. Thank you for your help sir.

Same error with esfile explorer method. Maybe there is no luck for dang sprint G5. Hate LG (it could be a Sprint.)man. This is the first android phone without root permission in my life. I don't know why they block phone's permission to the paid owner.

I think it is for sprint but you may work around with DNS address?

Finally my hotspot starts working without any subscription by adding dun into apn type. Now i am able to share my mobile data with others

New Wireless Tether 2.0.5 pre7 AP Mode works with 2.2

I just got this
http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre7.apk
works in AP mode with encryption, i'm running pmf v2.1 (rom version, not android version) and everything is good. Thanks a ton to the devs, sorry if this was posted already but i haven't seen it. So i figured I would give people an update...
Installing now, I don't even see this posted on their site for download though (even though it's clearly coming from their site), how odd
edit: does this still require fw_bcm4329.bin in the android.tether folder?

Where did you try to put a 7?
So the folder android.tether still has to be there? Ugh! I thought I read some where that once you go to 2.2, you no longer need that folder..Now I need to find that file again and reinstall it..
Okay, which version of Wireless tether.apk is working for 2.2(froyo)?

The APK he linked works fine. Copy the fw_bcm4329_apsta.bin file in the /system/etc/firmware folder into the /sdcard/android.tether folder, and rename it to fw_bcm4329.bin. Then install the linked APK, tether to your heart's content, confirmed to be working broadcasting in AP mode and works perfectly
Its ALIVE!!!! Yay....

Thank you .......
Again pardon my ignorance but I haven't had to put a fw_bcm4329_apsta.bin on my phone and Wireless tether works beautifully for me.
Works, thanks!
Installed APK and that's it. Works great. Thank you!!
Works great on my Evo! I just had to install the apk, didn't have to do any custom steps.
Works great!

Same here, if there is support for this in the kernel (for example any of Hydra's Kernels should work), then this file is not required.

Oh ok, I was just using the same method as previous versions in order to insure functionality, but if it's not even needed, all the better! Thanks for the info guys, I'll pull the folder off my SD.

thats because the Incredible doesn't allow anything Apple to connect to it, it is against their code lol
On a real note, my friend came over yesterday and he had his blackberry and iphone connected. What rom are you running?
I don't know about iPhone except that my friend with an iPhone could connect to me fine. However, some blackberries can't connect to an Adhoc network and I came through as Adhoc instead of wifi so it wouldn't connect. ON another note I showed on the same friend with an iPhone on her laptop as 802.11b/g/n I was the fastest option she had in our office.

[Q] Advanced APN settings

Hi,
I just bought a new Iconia A501. To connect to the customs company's APN, I have to create a new APN profile. Within the profile, I have to enter DNS-settings manually. But I can't find a possibility to edit these settings.
Can this be done with an APP ? Or do I have to 'root' my device. Are there How-to's available to do this ?
Thanks for your help.

Try this, it's an APN shortcut program that opens up your APN settings. I installed it on my tab just to make sure it worked first.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mraab.apnshortcut&feature=search_result
Once installed, open the program, click the menu icon in upper right corner, then "new apn", and set it up.
seems to be that it is not compatible with my device (or country)

its not that is doesn't work its just that the default Rooted HOneycomb on the A501 doesn't allow you to enter things like you would on a phone for instance my US - A501. i am trying to add the default phone APN so i can use the 4g sim from my Atrix in my rooted A501 but i can't enter half of what it needs and i what i can enter it tells me isn't valid.

Verizon apn patch

I am running flex Rom 1.3 everything works but data. I have no apn settings in settings,tethering,mobile networks. I can choose lte-cdma, global etc.... but no data or apn in settings. I am wondering if it is possible to build an apn patch so I can use this incredible stock based Rom. Any help is greatly appreciated. If it works then I would be more than willing to donate to your fund. Thanks.

No dice. Have nothing under mobile networks. If I install a shortcut using nova launcher I see the pans in settings there. The only one I can choose is vzwinternet. There are others but no luck. I even tried matching my gs4 apn settings.

not certain, definitely make a back up first
but there's a ro.setupwizard.mode=DISABLED in my build.prop
you could try turning the phone off, taking out the sim, booting it up, then powering it off, putting the sim back in and power back on, supposedly thats supposed to reconnect you

Found another quicker way to do this:
1. Goto google.com/android/devicemanager and locate your phone.
2. Click "Lock" and chose a new number password.
3. Type the new password on your phone and it will unlock.
4. Now it should let your change the lockscreen to anything, and foxfi will continue to work
Still working after restarting phone and using Foxfi :laugh:

@zero66 If you are rooted (that does not trip Knox, or void your warranty) then I would suggest downloading Xposed and installing X Tether from within the Xposed app linked. I have it this way, and can use the native tether/wifi with NO issues.

Did you try to add a new wifi network to your list, to see if the new one will be hashed?
Because on marshmallow only the new passwords that you put in after editing the build.prop were not hashed and the old ones were still hashed.
