I was able to get my MLS number from sprint in the past. and was using this past method here to enable the HotSpot on my phoned, adding 'dun' after the APN info.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...us/development/mod-wifi-tether-patch-t3192325
But the phone recently took an update to 6.0.1 and now the HotSpot is no longer working. And when I enter ##Data#, I can no longer find the APN info.
If there another work around to enable the HotSpot without rooting?

Hey everyone,
I have been a searching and searching for new ways to get my fully unlimited 4G mobile internet through HotSpot, and up until 6 months ago, the changing of APN setting in "Mobile Networks" from epc.tmobile.com (Regular) to fast.tmobile.com (LTE) had worked and adding dun to the authentication types, but in the last week the HotSpot Block screen popped up again and I am now forced to revert to using user-agents to use the unlimited mobile internet I paid highly for, through my phone's HotSpot, like I had to before. Is there someone who knows a new way to get around this, without rooting my phone or paying for an app on Google Play?!

The "APN" dun method is not working anymore for me either, I configured the settings correctly in the AP and got past the 5GB threshold but was only able to use my stock hotspot unlimited for one day up until now it has stopped working and reverted back to the upsell screen page with no fix has T-Mobile finally figured it out and cracked down or something? I don't want to root my phone! I want another method for none rooted users!!! Someone please help.
Since the 4.6.1 update my phone is using a T-Mobile APN associated with tethering when I turn on the hotspot feature. As such my tethering gets blocked by T-Mobile, I didn't have this problem with the old version.
I have been searching around for the APN in some of the phones APN files, but haven't found it. Is it possible to modify the APN the phone is using for hotspot in 4.6.1?

then you didnt do it correctly, go back and follow the instructions 100% I just set this up on a coworkers unrooted Note 4, make sure you are saving your APN edits before exiting..........
Anyone with cricket and the oreo update installed:
Does the hotspot still work to get you free tethering?

Even if it doesn't there's always a way to get tethering to work. There's a app called wifi tether on play store will work might need root though
yea... but I really want to avoid root....
should work
Any phone that isn't carrier locked should work. Cricket auto setup the internet apn and a tethering apn when I first put the sim card in my 7x. If it does this just delete the tethering apn and you should be good to go. Unlocked phones don't have the carrier firmware that notifies them if the hotspot is on or give them the ability to control hotspot access.
Nice thread. I'm also a cricket customer and once I get the update I'll give it a test and report it back here ?
It's dead
I updated today with the SE NA keyone. I can confirm the update will kill your free hotspot tethering. I've even tried creating other APNs with no luck. I tried using pda+ as well and that did not work.
Hello,
I am trying to see if there is a way, I can enable wifi calling on my unlocked AT&T phone using TMobile service.
I notice Wifi Calling feature allows me to enable it, however, it comes back with little note below the wifi calling label with "Forbidden"
Is there a way to change this?
I'm having the same issue. Please help.
Did anyone have ideas on this? I've done a reset of the device, reset connection settings, reset APN, and still nada.
Where do you see that option? I'm on att and I can't find it anywhere.
