Hotspot Mod post PD3 update [working] - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mo

I downgraded from PD3 to PC5 using Odin and this file https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24533100289590563
There are some pros and cons to doing this as it seemed to not be the exact same PC5 OTA from Sprint.
Things I've found so far:
Pros:
Hotspot working by quick access settings from dropdown notifications. Hotspot setting is no longer in the settings menu
Video calling from phone app is an option (Haven't tried it yet)
Cons:
Dialer codes do not work in the ##DIALER CODE# format
LTE icon is replaced with a 4G+ icon
Does not seem to have a system update to update prl or profile. (No issues with data so far, so no need for them anyways)

Ok i didn't use this file but i tried 2 different files and both of them i couldn't edit the apn... if i downgrade using this file does it allow you to edit the apn?

[q] editing MMS Connection Settings

hi,
how do i edit connection settings in the messages folder to make my ROM usable with my provider's MMS settings? everything is greyed out and inaccessible.
i have the info needed from a working phone...
you need to check your APN settings
i dont have that option in wireless & networks

what option? if you mean "it's not there", that's the whole point, you need to add it >menu >new APN
you need to check with your telco as to what their MMS settings are
in mobile network settings what i get is data roaming, data roaming sound, enable always - on mobile connectivity, and system select (cdma roaming mode). thats it
i see the settings if i go to the messaging menu (inbox) then press menu - settings - connection settings. but they're inaccessible
Do you have a CDMA or GSM phone?
cdma...................
you really should have mentioned that, it's really very significant!
you need a ROM that supports CDMA phones, you can't just put whatever on there

dude i have a cdma rom
i can use the cell phone fine its just the mms settings are for US Cellular which is where the froyo rom comes from... thats not my company
i saw this one post a couple days back where someone edited a file inside the cell which gave him access to these settings. sadly i did not copy or bookmark the page but it was on xda.
Still stuck here fellas... Using pre rooted stock froyo cdma rom from this site.

[Q] WiFi Calling - MMS?

when wifi calling is enable i can't send mms messages nor can i send texts to email addresses. when i try i get "no network connection - mobile data is turned off. this message will be sent when mobile data is turned on." well i can't turn on mobile data with wif-calling enabled, i have to turn it off. so the net result is i can only send mms mesaages with wifi calling off. the problem is i live in the sticks where coverage is weak, so with data enabled and wifi calling off, mmss messages are still a hit.miss proposition, and of course phone calls don't work.
i tested a friend's s5, his carrier is metropcs, and i can send mms messages with wif calling enabled on his phone, no problem, but his phone won't receive mms messages with wifi calling turned on.
i called tmobile tech and the first idiot i spoke with told me that it can be resolved with a full factory reset, which of course isn't true. the next tmoible tech i spoke with said this is a known problem with samsung phones, and apologized for the factory reset directions i was given by the other tech guy, he also said this problem does not exist with google phones and a couple of others. after doing a google search there are tons of complaints about this, but no real consensus as far as i can tell, some s4 users seem to be able to use mms with wifi calling enabled, many, many apparently can't.
so is anyone else having this issue? is there a workaround? how about an online texting service that bypasses phone software altogether? any help would be greatly appreciated!
no one else is having mms problems when wi-fi calling is enabled?
forgot to add, my apn setting:
name: t-mobile us lte
apn: fast.t-mobile.com
mmsc: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
mcc: 310
mnc: 260
apn type: default,mms,supl
apn protocol: IPV6
apn roaming protocol: IPV4
i've also tried:
- changing protocols to ipv4/ipv6, and just ipv6
- changing wifi calling connection preferences to cellular network preferred

i believe i am using the stock mms... i installed the custom rom on top of samsaung's stock rom, and then added different features (mods) to the custom rom via aroma - one of the mod choices was stock or custom mms and i chose stock. or are you saying that all custom roms will automatically make the stock mms custom?

No not all custom ROMs will make the stock MMS turn into custom. Only some. What you can try doing is make a backup of your current system, then do a complete wipe via recovery and reinstall v9 of Insane and don't install any mods the first time. Test to see if you can send MMS over WiFi Calling. If you can, then proceed to install whatever mods you had before but when you get to the selection of which MMS to use, select Stock S4 or if there's an option that says "no choice" then select that.
Basically using a modded MMS, even if its just a themed S4 MMS, MMS over WiFi calling won't work. You need to use pure stock MMS.

i have three other t-mobile s4 (sgh-m919) phones (wife, two kids) that aren't rooted and it doesn't work on any. do you use wifi calling? if so are you able to send photos with your texts when it's enabled? and if so can you answer the following:
1. what connection preferences do you have set in wifi calling, wifi preferred or cellular network preferred?
2. in your apn setting, how do you have your protocols set, ipv4, ipv6 or ipv4/ipv6?
doing a google search this is a big problem t-mobile for s4 owners - a owrkaround seems to be setting wifi calling connection preferences to cellular network preferred. many believe that data (mms) simply can't be sent over the internet, it needs to be sent via the data network, which is what the workaround does, it allows you to keep wifi calling on, but when mms texts are sent they're routed through the cellular network.
Just flash the stock mms again to make sure. I have the fast.tmobile.com apn on IPV4 and I can send and receive mms.. Also make sure you use have the stock mms app as default messaging app, otherwise it won't work
here's nokia's explanation re mms (not sms) and wifi calling:
------------------------------------------------------
FAQ - Cellular data connection or MMS sending doesn't work on my Lumia 521 when using "Wi-Fi Calling"
If using the Wi-Fi Calling feature, check that the Wi-Fi Calling settings are not blocking the cellular data access: Swipe left from the main screen to access the Wi-Fi Calling app (or tap on the live tile on the main screen) and go to settings. Ensure that the option Wi-Fi only is not selected. If you want to use the Wi-Fi Calling feature and still use cellular network when a Wi-Fi network is not available, change the setting to Wi-Fi preferred or Cellular preferred.
Check also that the data connection via cellular network is enabled: Select settings > cellular and check that Data connection is set to ON. Make sure that the airplane mode is not selected in settings > airplane mode. Note that when connected to Wi-Fi calling feature, only plain text messages (SMS) can be sent. If you want to send MMS messages, you need to disconnect from Wi-Fi calling feature. Go to Wi-Fi calling > settings and toggle Wi-Fi calling to off.
------------------------------------------------------
the problem with t-mobile is that when wifi calling is enabled, and wifi preferred is selected in the sub options (connection preferences) as opposed to cellular network preferred, it often breaks the data connection, it often disables it - when you go into network connections and try to register automatically (or manually, or show available networks) with wifi calling enabled and wifi preferred set, you get unable to connect to network errors. anyway some seem to think they can send mms over wifi using wifi calling, but that's not the case as far as i can tell, mms can only be sent through the cellular network.

yes, you can send and receive mms because you have a good cellular network connection, which doesn't have anything to with wifi calling, at least that's how i understand it.
I turned off mobile data and it still sent and I received it.. I don't really think it's dependent on mobile network asfaik.. could be different with windows mobile devices like the lumia

according the t-mobile tech guy i spoke with, google, windows and a couple of other phones have no problem sending data (mms) over wifi, but it's an issue with samsungs... had i known this i wouldn't have purchased 4 s4's for my family.
Try what I suggested earlier I had the same issue with MMS not sending on insane KitKat but it worked after I flashed the stock MMS. I never had a problem sending or receiving MMS over WiFi calling with my S3 or S4, I don't care what that "tech" says

when you say "insane kitkat" are you referring to the sicknesss's rom (v9)? if so he no he no longer has aroma bundled with it that allows you to select mod options. so should i instead dirty flash his aroma mod5 zip and select stock mms? if so i already did this when i used his mod5 zip, i went stock with most of the options, including mms. i'll give it another try.
btw i was mistaken - my other 3 non-rooted tmobile s4 phones can send and receive mms over wifi calling, so rooting, the v9 rom, or one of the options i selected in the aroma mod5 pacjage has broken my mms over wifi calling, could it be the kernel i chose (adam)?

Yes that ROM.. And if that's the case then yes, flash the mod zip.. Maybe it is something else conflicting. Did you debloat it, or are you using xposed? Kernel shouldn't affect it, but I use Fenny's kernel

Honestly if you need to ask you probably wont benefit from it. But you can change the default tether apn to fast instead of pcweb + 3g + mega apn pack. I need ipv4 for my vpn to work properly and not leak my ip but there are lots of reasons to use ipv4 instead of ipv6.
This is awesome. could you possibly add lte/wcdma to the network modes? I can get the option in the hidden menu through the dialer, would love an option for it in the network mode menu.

When Roaming IPV6 doesn't work that well. I had to create another APN so I could connect to the roaming network. Even that was a little finicky. This will come in handy when going to Wyoming to visit the Family.

Probably not unless you are only seeing 2g and 4g lte if that is so you will see e/3g/lte after flashing this. but you can just go in the build prop and edit that in. I will try to update the op tonight with details but probably wont get to it until tomorrow. I guess if you already see e/3g/4g you will get a lot of apns from around the world with this package.
*Edit*
can you get ipv4 apn to work properly with this phone on att? I dont mean ipv4/ipv6 but the real ipv4? if not that would be another benefit for you if you care for ipv4.
It shows ipv4 in the APN, but I never see 3g, just LTE, 4g, and a couple times 2g.

sorry didn't see you don't get 3G if this phone supports that band (I think it does) you should get 3g from this.

but that's just a simple build prob edit Ill have that in the op tomorrow
So this actually changes the tethering APN for the stock tethering app?

This should help out with VPN and torrents. Checking it out now!
Does this removes the 5GB cap of tether use on T-Mobile ?
Thanks
VPN works now, that's awesome. Still not able to download torrents though, oh well. Nice work!
Hay boss do you have to make the changes to the build.prop for this to work? Reason is it cause poor signal and 4G to drop in and out. At least it does on my device. Had the same problem with those edits on the G2.

No 3G bug since I flashed this last night.
Last night I noticed my tether is broken, but I didn't know why. My computer will not connect to the hotspot and will complain that the signal is low.
I did some debugging and found this:
I/hostapd ( 3179): wlan0: AP-STA-MAX-REACHED
The phone is not allowing the client to connect because it thinks the max has been reached. It's not a build.prop thing, I couldn't find it there.
Doing some more digging, I found that the hostapd.conf file that is generated when the hotspot is on (/data/misc/wifi/hostapd.conf) has max_num_sta=0 even though I have set it to 8 on the Settings Menu. I have changed the settings to something else and this always comes up as 0.
I also see some errors about some config files not being setup properly:
Code:
E/hostapd (31402): Configuration file: /data/misc/wifi/hostapd.conf
E/hostapd (31402): Invalid MAC address '/data/misc/wifi/hostapd.accept' at line 1 in '/data/misc/wifi/hostapd.accept'
E/hostapd (31402): Line 15: Failed to hostapd_config_read_maclist '/data/misc/wifi/hostapd.accept' at config_file.c
Not sure where this config_file.c is, probably in the code of the hostapd binary.
I don't think I had seen hostapd being used in the stock tethering, but I wasn't really looking for it when debugging previously.

The stock firmware has a hidden tethering APN, which is pcweb.tmobile.com. Using this zip allows you to change the tethering APN. If that one is configured as fast, then you should be good to go. Is your tethering working with this patch? Mine isn't

No data during call after oreo update

Hello. I'm hoping that someone can help me out. I have a Verizon note 8 that i use on straight talk for the longest it never would update to oreo but then i cracked the screen and purchased another used verizon note 8 from ebay. It came to me with a cricket sim card in it. I turned it on and connected it to wifi just to check it out before i transferred anything and it immediately wanted to update so i let it and it updated to oreo. I swapped over my ST sim into the new phone and stuck the cricket sim into the old phone and it updated too. But now my problem is that I keep getting the message that data is unavailable during calls. When i check the settings it says i am on CDMA/EVEDO/GSM/WCDMA. And there is no option to edit my APN. If i click on the mobile network i have the option for LTE/3G/2G but if i choose this nothing works and i have no option to go back to the CDMA/EVEDO/GSM/WCDMA and thus have to do a factory reset. I have tried texting APN to 611611 but it states my APN is already setup. I called tech support for ST and they told me to call back from another phone which i cant do until this evening when i get off work. So i thought in the mean time i would reach out to the real pro's on here and see if anyone else has had this issue. Did i mess up by updating with the cricket SIM inserted? Or could it be that i just didnt call straight talk when i swapped phones? i just took the sim card out of one phone and stuck it in the other. I really appreciate any advice anyone may have. Oh and I've tried finding the settings for HD calling to enable them, not there.
Thanks,
Amy
I'm having this same issue with my Verizon branded note 8 that I manually updated to Oreo. I called my carried, Red Pocket and they stated that this is enabled for my account. In Oreo the hidden menus seem to be disabled and I've tried other things. I may have to see if I can go back to Nougat. The dialer hidden menu I tried was *#2683662#. On the Verizon forums, other were able to get to the menu using *#4636# and enable VoLTE but that seems to be disabled for me. I tested from my coworkers note 8 and it seems to work fine on their phone.

I reflashed CRID and the CSC but my Service Provider SW ver. still says VZW/XAA/VZW. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Has anyone figured this out? I am having this very issue and Straight Talk has no clue what I am talking about.
I found this on the Samsung website and it looks promising but nothing has changed. I was able to see that the radiobutton/checkbox for LTE Enhanced is checked.
To enable HD Calling, download Shortcut Master (Secret Codes) Lite from developer vndnguyen. You will need to find the apk as it does not appear to be in the play store any longer.
1) From the option menu located in the upper right hand corner, choose Search.
2) There is a search field at the bottom of the screen. Type lte then hit the Search key.
3) Scroll down to Mobile Networks. Choose the one that show EnhancedLteServices. Then click Launch. Then click the box to enable HD Calling.
I was also able to set the APN settings to Bearer: unspecified using Shortcut Master lite but this made no difference whatsoever.
Finally, you don't need to do a factory reset each time you go from CDMA/EVEDO/GSM/WCDMA to LTE/3G/2G (auto connect), simply search in settings for reset network and then reset the network settings and reboot.
I was able to get the SIM card trick to work for me on my Note 8 as well. I have redpocket and prior to doing the sim card trick I did not have VoLTE. Now I do. It's too bad that this is majorly inconvenient and it won't stick after a reboot, by the sounds of it. I haven't tried yet. I may just tape the sim to the back of my phone or inside my case. Also, on my Note 8 prior to this, I was seeing vzw/xaa/vzw and now it has the vzw/vzw/vzw CSC with the RP sim in. I'm hoping that there is another way to fix this but at least I have a work around.
I updated to Oreo on my verizon note 8.
I dont have any options for advanced HD Calling, Wifi calling.
When I go to ims settings it says denied.
Any ideas

How to backup and restore Sprint PRL when using custom ROMs

Dears,
I am on a BOYOD plan with Sprint and Pixel 2 XL.
I tried Bliss, ASOP and other roms, but for every single one I cannot update my PRL configuration to enable LTE.
When I reflash stock rom, I have to first update PRL from mobile settings, only then LTE is enabled.
However, on every single roms i have tried, when i try to get inside "carrier settings" the settings app just quits.
I have included the screen shots of the carrier settings, than i can only get into from a stock rom.
Even if I flash a custom rom after updating PRL from stock rom, phone shows that I am on roaming and cannot have LTE data connection.
to summarize, i cannot get into the update PRL menu. Older phone in the past, i could use the ## codes but none of them seem to work.
So I was thinking if there was a way to backup the PRL settings from stock rom and reapply when when I flash a custom rom it could work.
I remember in the good old days of HTC Touch Pro 2, we would even apply verizon PRL to get better reception on Sprint.
Until a week ago, had been using an iphone, but now i have a Pixel 2 XL and back now I am knee deep in to messing up my phone and I love it.
any help is appreciated....
thanks.

Sprint is the red-headed stepchild for 2XL development. I wait patiently for a breakthrough...
I am also having this issue with EVERY rom i have tried. at this point i have just set the radio and enabled roaming (after finding out that sprint unlimited data plans include roaming) currently mobile data is spotty at best and i cannot send mms messages. Seems like run stock and have a working phone without being able to protect my data or run a custom rom and have limited options. I have found a few articles on updating prl manually so if i find something that works, i'll make sure to post about it here. Will probably look into this over the weekend.

Well, that being said i put 5 minutes of google time into it and got my prl to update
Steps:
1. turn off wifi
2. reboot
3. turn off roaming
4. set radio to global
5. enter dialer
6. dial *#*#PRL#*#*
7. WAIT
8. get message that prl is updated
First time i have ever gotten this to go through. looks like i still need to enable roaming and set my radio though. now to see if i can figure out how to set the profile.

Cool. What rom are you using?
Did that do anything for the MMS issue?

Can you please see if this menu works on Liquid remix rom
Does *#*#DATA#*#*, CLICK LTE, type in your MSL work?
I am really looking for a rom where I can lock the LTE band for sprint!

Can you get back into that DATA menu and press LTE. See if you can edit it?
