Yes, it's not about nougat , it's about what after the nougat update , there is 2 or 3 updates after nougat and the last one is the 28B (685MB) update that enables the hotspot, Verizon still did not add this update to it's site and what the update does.
That's why I thought I had last update at 27A because I couldnt see 28B on its site. I live in Asia and got the verizon version where no verizon network at all here so its website is all I rely on for the information.
I think you worked because you had already done the steps, since from the beginning I upgrade to 28B but did not work the HOSTPOT, and then as 2 months later I discovered these steps and started to work
I am on the 2aa update and hotspot works for me have you tried adding DUN to the apn type settings?
I dont know what I did to mine I never did anything special and tethering works great on vs985 on cricket every other phone I have has i always still got the your are not subscribed toast... but not no more
Added dun to APN type settings with no such luck, tried the es explorer way to get hotspot but received the same 'Verizon Sim card needed' note .
From the looks of it you have to be on 28b or above and Verizon unlocked the hotspot option
Currently I don't have internet service until the 28th when they'll come and install it at my new house hahah. Thanks for the dun tip at least now when hotspot does enable it'll hopefully be unlimited. I think I'm gonna have to go to the in-laws however and get this firmware updated lol
You can goto any public hotspot and try on the wifi also...If inlaws are unfavorable
Also just depend on your data plan Hotspot also counts as your mobile's data ...So if you do not have an unlimited plan then no hotspot won't be unlimited
I do have unlimited
the latest update for G5 on verizon website is VS9872BA is that correct? I thought latest was 98728B sorry for my noobie questions, I've just recently gotten into rooting/flashing my android (which is weird cause I've had androids for years now) and I love it, I learn fast but I'm still learning the terms and all that. Appreciate any input MadScientist ?
The 2Ba is the latest that I know of.I think thats the 10 of 2017 update...I have not updated to it yet..... Been thinkin bout it but its just a security update....I do have unlimited
Yeah, wish I woulda known that when I bought the device lol I actually had a G3 (been with LG ever since and convinced my girl to get the G6) and gave it to my mom when I copped this G5... But now I'm thinking of trading her back hahah.
specific one cant think of the model nums lik h860 and the rs988 and tmobile
