I have the next problem with a Sprint Galaxy Note 5 N920P. I know the text is large but I wanted to try to explain all as well as possible to avoid confusions
The phone does not have the next native features and or native apps:
- missing Hotspot and Tethering feature from the menu settings
- missing WiFi Calling feature (is not important for me, however is missing)
- missing Sprint Bloatware: Sprint Zone app, Sprint Fun & Games. I tried to install the Sprint Zone apk but no luck, there is no way to get the apk run or work, when try to install it there is an error and no open.
- missing the Sprint boot animation (is not important for me, however is missing). in the boot only is shown the Samsung logo/animation as an international version of note 5 (Example: N920i, N920G...). The Sprint boot logo/animation is not shown neither running stock Android LP ROM nor stock Android MM ROM. Sprint boot logo never seen in this phone.
the main and most important feature I really need is the Hotspot, but native Samsung Hotspot as all others Sprint Note 5, not a 3rd party app.
The next are all I have tried with no luck:
- dialing ##RTN# = ##786# entering the MSL and erasing/wiping to "get all recovered as stock" but no luck. doing that and still no boot animation, no hotspot native app etc. the phone make a kind of wipe or reset but nothing come back as others posts says.
- dialing ##RCRTN# = ##72786#. again the phone make kind of wipe or reset but nothing come back as others posts says.
- dialing ##update# and others codes like this and nothing.
- flashing 5 different Stock Tar file downloaded from SamMobile and XDA (2 of Android 5.1.1 and 3 of Android 6.0.1). Under Odin options checking the following: Auto Reboot, F. Reset Time, Nand Erase All, Phone EFS Clear, and RTN for Sprint and some seconds after flash the ROMs the phone shows the RTN erase/wipe/rest, then doing this reset process but still nothing of I need come back as should and as others tell work for them.
- installing nova launcher that in other post say it can create shortcuts/toggles for some of these missing features but no luck, can't find the way to make a shortcut to go to the Hotspot.
- installing Power Toggles app from Play Store witch is a widgets that you can create toggles/shortcuts that are missing in any Sprint Note 5 from navigation panel. We have to remember even in a Sprint Note 5 running normal with all its stock features we don't have some toggles on the navigation panel like Mobile Data on/off toggle and Hotspot on/off toggle. for example, the Verizon Note 5 has these stock toggles but for some reason Sprint decided not to keep these toggle in any Note 5, S6 Plus, Note Edge, etc. Well, with Power Toggles app (free from play store) you can add shortcuts/toggles for some important features like Hotspot and Mobile Data etc. but when is installed in the note 5 we are talking about and try to go to Hotspot, the phone goes to the native Hotspot app but all is blank so there is no way to turn the Hotspot On or Off nor change the network name nor change the password because nothing of that is there, all is missing and only is showing a blank window only saying Hotspot on top and nothing else. I will upload a capture to understand better this.
- other thing tried is to install a MOAR custom ROM (Android LP 5.1.1 OK3) (Using TWRP Recovery etc etc) and when the ROM is installed still there isn't the missing features in the menu settings as should but, but in the navigation panel there is the Hotspot togle to go to the Samsung native/stock Hotspot app/feature and at this time the app shows all as normal showing the native stock Samsung Hotspot as should (being able to modify network name, password, turn it on/off and all as normal). Now with MOAR ROM the Hotspot appears to work but going through the toggle that MOAR adds to the navigation panel because still no shortcut from menu settings. the menu settings keeps exactly as with the stock ROM. the problem here is even being able to access to the stock Hostspot, I need a stock ROM running on the phone and other big problem is the phone lose the GSM SIM Card Unlock. However, I repeat what I need is to work in a stock ROM as just received from the factory.
- trying to install the MOAR MM 6.0.1 custom ROM again recovering the feature to be able to go to the Hotspot native Samsung app through the navigation panel where MOAR adds the Hotspot toggle (again, a feature missing in ALL stock sprint note 5 but as a custom ROM, the developer decided to recover these important features). After be installed, the phone is able to go to the Hotspot as should being able to turn it on/off, change Hotspot network name, password, etc. but also, again the phone is missing the GSM Unlock that for the moment only can be done running Android 5.1.1.
Other important detail. Days ago I contacted to freeza XDA developer and he had not this model but he told me the next: "it sounds like the CSC isn't applying correctly". In Odin I see a button called CSC but never used. always used the AP/PDA option/button to flash any ROM.
Important note: the stock ROMs downloaded from sammobile have been tested with other Sprint Note 5 and all of them work as should this other sprint note 5 I has here to test the differences. this other Note 5 has all its normal features, toggles, shortcuts, boot animation, sprint apps, etc. all as stock, nothing missing.
I hope someone here can help me with this.
Thank you
