Received the notification for Pie update yesterday morning for Sprint HTC U11. Thus far, it seems to run smoothly. However, I can't find it anywhere in the setting to turn on the mobile hotspot. Anyone is experiencing the same issue?

Pie update is live
- Thread starter chaibaby
- Start date
Thanks for the reply. With Pie, it's no longer under more in wireless and network section (at least on my phone). Weird.
That's very weird. It doesn't have that selector on my under more. Don't know what to try to get that to reappear.
Thanks for the screenshot. For some reasons, hotspot and tethering is missing on mine phone. This is so weird. I hope I don't have to do it factory reset for that to reappear.
I am experiencing the same thing. Data usage and then NFC. No Hotspot option. Sprint also.

I downloaded the OTA, but if I'm running Bad Boyz 8.0 rom, do I have to flash a RUU first or can I install this over Bad Boyz? Its systemless root using Magisk.
if you have root and twrp installed you can't, flash the oreo ruu(which will wipe you phone)and return you to stock then you;ll recieve the ota and go from there.
best way i know, if anyone else can do better then just chime in here.

Problem solved. Please follow the instructions below:
Dial ##72786#. Note: If the dialer does not appear, tap the Dialer icon. Tap YES. The device will restart and initiate Hands Free Activation. After the device restarts it will automatically perform Hands Free Activation. Once the activation is complete, tap OK. The device will then update the PRL. Once the update is complete, tap OK. Tap OK. The device will restart.
After restarting, hotspot and tethering setting selection reappeared.

The pie update have been an absolute disaster. So many bugs and weird behaviours that is better to not update.
One year awaiting for this mess...

what bugs are you having, mine is running very well for me haven't noticed any bugs
It has been said many times in the main thread, but here are only a few (I sold it because HTC is not going to fix anything):
Cannot disable the led into do not disturb mode
Digital wellbeing is not into settings menu (you have to use the search)
Adaptative battery is not into settings menu (you have to use the search)
Battery problems (I lost 1,5h SOT)
HTC sense companion is not counting steps (I think there was a new version of the app THREE months later to fix it)
Those are which I can remember and were persistent after factory reset and even after re-flash the RUU.
As I said, I sold it two months ago and I never will buy another device from this manufacturer.
I have a sprint model that i unlocked,since the update i can't use hotspot, i tried ##72786# it just gives me a menu with 4 options that i can't change.
Is there a way for me to get hotspot back?
