**Welcome to the Fox Den!**

This is a short guide for accessing the APN settings to edit, as well as enabling Native
Hotspot while you're in there.

This method involves using Shortcut Master Lite to access the APN settings so that it can be edited to add needed
settings without using ADB. The steps are as follows:

Step 1 - Download Shortcut Master


Lite from the Play Store.
Step 2 - Open Shortcut Master Lite
and select the Menu (three vertical
dots in the upper right).
Step 3 - Select App Explorer, and
then All Apps
Step 4 – Navigate (scroll down) to
com.test.LTEfunctionality and select.
Step 5 – Select the rst item labled
"LTEFunctionalityTest" and select
launch.
Step 6 – Scroll down to LTE APN
Setting and select.
Step 7 – Select the APN setting to
edit or select add to add your own.
Close
Step 8 – After editing or adding APN
settings, select menu and save your
settings.
Congratulations, you have
successfully edited and saved your
APN settings.

Can't you just set up a new APN set in settings?

It is greyed out for many...editing the actual settings, for hotspot, prevent having to toggle data on and o ...for one
example....no need for adb as well....

Similar question since you gured this out. Is there a way to modify the APN2 in a roundabout way like this that
bypasses the proxy servers for carriers like sprint since modifying the APN2 directly is out of the question since
much is grayed out.

I'm sorry I mean when I go to the ##3282## menu to get rid of the proxy is not under the APN's. It is under "Data
Pro le" which when you click on it is all greyed out and can't be modi ed. That is what I need to be able to edit to
bypass proxys and prevent sprint from throttling.

Wondering if there is a shortcut to get to that as well to be able the mod y those settings.

Edit: sorry that is not where I need to edit. I need to nd a Multimedia menu option in the DATA menu which for the
Note 8 there isn't one listed. I then need to modify RTST Proxy, HTTPPD Proxy to all 0.0.0.0's

Anyone know where that option or a shortcut to that option is?
