Description

From the listing uploaded by “sanfordtim”.

Carrier Hub enables Sprint features and products for devices operating on the Sprint network. This software feature enables customers to turn on Sprint products (for example Voice Over Wifi). Carrier Hub also assists our Network engineering for customer reported service concerns. This latest update is needed for Google Android Q requirements. Carrier Hub is pre-installed at the manufacturing process and updates must now occur through the Google Play Store.

Carrier Hub APK: questions and answers

Is there a version of Carrier Hub for older Android phones?

The current version needs Android 7.0 or later. Version 5.7.3 is the newest listed build that installs on Android 5.0 and later. It is an old build: apps that rely on online services may no longer connect when they are this old. Get version 5.7.3 · All versions

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Carrier Hub APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. It is signed with the same certificate as the other version checked. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 687159ca2d85e40723a0a1ca3ad37907.
