Update does not persist throught reboots

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 wonder if this would work for those of us on Cricket?

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
