In case you do not know, hotspot does not work on the Sprint variant of Samsung Galaxy Note 9. There is a mod that solves this very problem. The best part is that you do not need to root Note 9 or even install TWRP recovery to make it work.
Just keep in mind that you must reapply this Galaxy Note 9 Sprint hotspot mod everytime you update profile on your device. One way to do this is to disable automatic updates so that the profile updates do not get removed.
