Thethering and wifi hotspot disappeared (sprint) - Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After flashing stock marshmallow through odin on sprint SM-N910P "thethring and wifi hotspot" option disappeared from the menu i have tried every other possible solution out there on the web but same result any help would be greatly appriciated.

I also have a question.
I'm on stock 5.1.1 and Tethering and Wifi Hotspot don't seem to work for me. I can enable Wifi Hotspot on phone but the device is not discoverable by other devices. Does this have something to do with Tethering and Hotspot being locked by the carrier?

same boat here. I've tried ##DATA# and installed tx_ hotspot mod, but still couldn't get hotspot back. Please help.

I formatted data and system, restored an old backup, got the toggle and settings back... they disappeared again so I repeated the steps and the they didn't come back again.
for now, a (dirty) workaround is:
1. install Activity Launcher from Google Play
2. change the menu to All Activities
3. scroll down to Settings and tap it
4. scroll down to Hotspot and long-press it
5. tap Create Shortcut
you will now have access to the normal Hotspot settings from your home screen where you can enable/disable/adjust it.
Activity Launcher will need to stay installed but it's a vey small app and you can hide it from your App Drawer.

I lost mine from installing xposed module which created the csc features. I can rename the feature.xml to .bak and get the hotspot setting back but I will lose some features from the xposed module.

If I leave the feature.xml that the module created, the hotspot in settings disappear. If I delete/rename the feature.xml and reboot the hotspot setting reappears. The module I used is wanam mm module in xposed.

I don't have such issue. First what I got in mind is that your cable have broken data wires, so it allow only charging. Can you manually change it to MTP connection in settings and it work?

Yeah, he should check that cable. I'm using few different data cables and no problem here.
This LG Plug & Pop tool show animation when:
USB data cable
Headphones
Dock station
are plugged in. After that bottom animation finished, it call other related application activity. So issue lays in Settings App, why that selections are not shown.
Tyvm, working great. Wish u all the best.?

Thanks so much dev!! I previously resorted to setting the nav bar height to 1% but that created a lot of problems.
Do you happen to have a fix for double tap on the clock quick window widget? After I disabled the stock player, double tapping on the clock doesn't turn it off but double tapping on the weather one does :/

You can post your quick view issue in own thread, either here or in [Q&A]. I don't want to promise anything, but maybe I could have a look.
So let's discuss it somewhere else.
Installed and working perfectly on VS980 (Verizon). Also works with LMT without issue. Thanks for this!!
Forgive my ignorance, but does this only work if you completely remove nav bar? I just shrunk mine by 20% and get plug n play close. Will this work for me? Or is that a feature that could be added?

Hi I have the S6 920p

Is there away to add one from somewhere? I have tried the edit option but there is no mobile data to select..plus none of the widgets from Google play seem to work...

after that you could uninstall the app for good. just once needed.

If your like me and don't want to root your S6 because you'll lose Samsung Pay, then you can re-enable the mobile data toggle using one of the two apps in the thread below. The Samsung Quick Panel Restore did not work for me, but the other app did. I installed it, enabled it, then uninstalled the app and the mobile data toggle remained. I'm not sure how they do it without root, but it worked.

Another neat non-rooted app is the Galaxy Button Lights which can be found in the Google Play Store.

Long press on shortcuts of notification bar not opening more settings.

Any possibilities of long pressing on shortcuts of notification bar will open more settings ? For example if i keep pressing on WIFI shortcut it should open WIFI settings. I have not rooted my phone yet. Its running on 6.0.1. This is normally available in HTC & SAMSUNG phones.

For Wi-Fi and Bluetooth you can click on the title below the icon and it will expand to show networks and devices as well as a more settings button. At least that's what I remember of Android M. I also remember being able to long press the icons to enter the settings for the toggle. Maybe that's just for the other buttons like cellular data.

Thanks for reply. I agree those little links below WIFI and BT opens quick setting in same notification window. Then there is more setting link to open full setting options. But that is not available for location services and other shortcuts.
Also those shortcuts are hardly manageable. Only few shortcuts can be added or deleted which is also under beta. Customization option is not available. Hard to believe for 6.0 version of android.

It's "fixed" on Android N. So you have that to look forward to in October or whenever they fully release it. It's also probably available in a custom ROM if you want to go that route.

Running
Xposed torch(like being able to activate flashlight by holding volume up button... Must open the app first to set permissions for camera)
Firekitfds (moved status bar clock to center,disabled Low Battery sound, disabled Low Battery camera shutoff, disabled high volume warning, and long press back button to kill foreground app)
You tube ad away
YouTube background playback.
A few things...
I have figured out that firekitfds, gravitybox mm, and xtouchwiz all break my hotspot.
I use my note 4 hot-spot and a range extender for the Wi-Fi in my home (rural area) works great
With this Rom AND any one of the above it breaks my hotspot. Tried disabling in app (above) and re-enabled. Tried changing to 2.4ghz to reset then back to 5ghz.
No luck anywhere.
Think I remember someone talking about the features. Csc file maybe.
Any help with this?
Also tried using gttools to reset and set Max back to 15. (have about a dozen devices) and that's stock Max for 5ghz band.
Good lock/system ui update
Found this useful on the last rom I was running
When you install the apk it updates systemui.
It changes the notification panel to the good lock ui
Pretty cool to play with and pick what you like.
It will also unlock the hot-spot toggle then you can uninstall update to app only. Not the whole app. Then you have stock from Rom with hot-spot toggle.

At least two of those Xposed modules you mention creates a bogus features.xml file at /system/csc/features.xml each time you so much as open the module.
When that happens, delete features.xml before you reboot and that should prevent loss of functionality.
I also now use Good Lock and Xposed framework on UN7 ported ROM. It works as well as it did with rooted stock ROMs except the flashlight toggle in pull-downs are broken; leaves the torch on unless disabled with side panel or reboot. You're better off making a gesture or remap for torch; mine is set to toggle torch on any long press of home button greater than 1 second on any screen condition- off, lockscreen or on with vibrate confirmation. I use Physical Button Music Control Xposed module for that.

Got it.
Did some digging and found mention of firekitfds 1.0.2
Works great and didn't break my Hotspot settings/functionality
Will install good lock now and see how that goes. Maybe should have installed that before.
But I did make a new backup with xposed installed so it doesn't take me so long each time. The framework, installer app, won't break Hotspot. Only on running the module and reboot.
Question...
If I deleted that file mentioned above before my reboot will the other changes still take effect? Seems it would be pointless if not?

I was aware that the oldest stable release of Firefds Xposed module didn't break functionality but didn't recall 1.0.2 was also not breaking function. It works because it doesn't create the unneeded features.xml file. So there's no need to check or delete with those module versions; you can open and edit with no worries.
Changes should take place without features.xml because marshmallow doesn't use features.xml but others.xml
It's odd that updates of Firefds Xposed module broke functionality but updates have followed the same unneeded creation of features.xml- I'm not sure if any of the XTouch module versions worked without issue of unneeded features.xml file being created.
With Good Lock, the Firefds and XTouch Xposed modules are equal. But I noticed with stock SystemUI, there are minor differences. XTouch can eliminate the airplane mode pop-up dialogue but cannot remove the battery icon. Firefds Xposed module was just the opposite. (But Good Lock makes the battery icon persistent but lacks the presence of airplane mode dialogue pop-up.)

i was just going to mention only issue after good lock was firekit was unable to change or hide battery.
Should I even try 3minit?
Hotspot
for anyone this could help. This does not break functionality but everytime you go into firekit it will change Max AP connections to whatever it's set to there. But you can still go to settings, hotspot,configure Hotspot, and set number there to fix. Max in fds is 10

Since I brought up the flashlight toggle issue, I should clarify again that the flashlight toggle in pull-down screens stems from my use of Good Lock SystemUI screen replacement.
The flashlight toggle issue wasn't caused by the UN7 ROM or the Firefds Kit Xposed module.
You're finding more functionality and less bugs with XTouchWiz over Firefds Kit but my set of features used reflect no difference when using Good Lock with my feature preferences. I did see features.xml being created with XTouchWiz as well but in either case, since I delete the unwanted created features.xml file, I can't say which is better regarding not killing hotspot in Settings. I didn't give it the chance to fail by deleting when created.
Since both modules haven't been updated in a while, my tests were done against latest stable module releases. I'm considering going back to the suggested Firefds Kit 1.0.2 update which has been noted and confirmed not to create features.xml in Note 4 when module is opened. Personally, I think both modules could use an update to stop features.xml creation.
Thanks for your input. With all the features available, user variance is possible.
I'd also like to hear more confirmation input from others on their experience with these Xposed modules and Good Lock.
Regarding Good Lock unlock reboot error in UN7 ROM, since I've switched to that password unlock with Good Lock and experienced one reboot bug and lag on initial unlock error using wrong password, I've since entered wrong password in 2 occasions without experiencing the reboot bug or lag on unlock. Not sure why that happens and if others can expect same flexibility with Good Lock?

I didn't try the mod on Good Lock but came across this Xposed module: Status Bar Cleanup. Updates are in Google Play and developer claims touchwiz isn't supported.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.seveilith.statusbarcleanup
Hide battery icon works with above module with Good Lock as SystemUI replacement. Didn't test anything else but VPN icon hide which did not work. I used NOTifications Xposed module for that. Kind of neat to allow icon to be present for a bit then get removed.
I should add that the VPN notification I was trying to hide was from Adguard and was tired to Android System. I had to add Android System in ignore list of NOTifications module.

Any navbar apps that add menu? Returning Android newbie

I had an iPhone for a few years and the pixel brought me back. The progress android has made has been phenomenal but I see a few things missing that used to be here before. Honestly I think I'm overlooking it but who knows.
FYI I have an unlocked bootloader and am running magisk running stock rom and kernel.
1. I used to love my Note 1's navbar with the search and menu button in the navbar. I remember xposed being able to do it but the modules haven't been updated and just cause a bootloop on the pixel. The customnavbar by paphonb doesn't allow you to have the menu button on the bar. Is there a way to make this work with oreo?
2. What happened to the text notifications? I replaced Google's main text app with Textra but I recall there being custom notifications and ringers all being in the contacts app.
3. What happened to changing the apps notification sound? Back then it was really easy to set the sound of the apps but I hardly see that feature.
4. Can you change the lockscreen clock font? I changed my system font and the clock has a question mark where the colon used to be. I know I could find another font but I really like this one.
5. How do you get in and out of the phone quickly? I find myself double tapping on the display and most of the time it works. Is there a better way?
Note: I saw some of these tweaks were on substratum but I couldn't get it to work for me. I tried to use substratum but the themes won't take because I'm on stock or because I don't know what I'm doing. I would like a clean lockscreen or one where I could swipe to the left or right and start recording. I forget the name but there used to be an app that customized the lockscreen.
If anyone could help me figure out Oreo I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you so much for your help!
The font fix is exactly what I needed. I hated that square or question mark for the colon!
The custom nav bar app is the one I was talking about by php. I don't see a way to add the menu button to the nav bar on that app but I'll look and confirm.
I still use my iPhone silicone cases for this phone so the fingerprint won't work. That's disappointing I thought there might be a quicker way.
Thanks though!

GravityBox (xposed module) let's you put the menu on the navbar

It does but it doesn't let you add the menu to the navbar. And it also removes the battery percentage from the status bar for me. I wish it worked because that would be perfect for me with the navbar and customizable sounds [emoji21]

Either get a new case or cut a hole for the fingerprint reader. Problem solved ?

When you have cases like these cutting them is NOT an option

That's fair, but they aren't meant for the pixel phones. Sell them and get a new one with a proper cut out for the fingerprint reader.

If you are stock flash this in TWRP and enable systemui tuner to get menu on navbar without apps.

So I installed it but I'm not sure what to do next. System tuner was already activated but I don't see any other options. Do you have the original thread this was posted in? I don't want you to spoon feed it to me but I'm lost after the flash

My bad. I forgot an edit. Here is one for January update and February update. Hopefully they will work.
Edit: should look like this.

What if I flash magisk, flash this mod, uninstall magisk? Will that keep this mod intact?

I'll let the Dev weigh in on that. It's his mod and wouldn't want to give any misinformation with it's installation after the February update :good:

So this adds the button that looks like the menu but it doesn't function like the menu at all. It disappears and I think it has to do with the 66 being set as the code. I don't think that's the right code for the menu button to actually work. I took a screenshot.
Either way I'm giving up for now
