I installed this because I don't have the option to configure my hotspot, this provides that option, but while other devices CAN see my hotspot, they can't seem to connect.

My carrier wouldn't allow me to use my hotspot function on my phone, so I downloaded this app and it works amazingly! Thanks!!!

Works great with the hotspot and Bluetooth tethering. I would recommend it to anyone. My phones carrier wouldn't let me use my default hotspot but thus works as a replacement

Says it is connected but it does not show up on any of my wifi devices. Maybe it works on older phones, mine is a no carrier unlocked phone.

About this app

Make your phone into a WIFI hotspot with this no frills, no ads, lightweight easy hotspot tool.

Now with BLUETOOTH Tether option as well!!!

Allows your phone to tether your mobile data WITHOUT ROOT.

Features:
- 100% FREE
- NO ADS
- lightweight
- WiFi tether without root
- Bluetooth tether without root
- bypasses the carrier hotspot blocking mechanism
- shows connected devices in connected devices page

WiFi Hotspot Directions:
- just enter SSID and password of your choice and turn on the hotspot
- look for the SSID from your other devices and connect to it as you would, a WiFi network

WiFi Hotspot Notes:
- SSID must be between 1-32
- password must be between 8-63
- turn on hotspot to apply changes
- security defaults to WPA_PSK


Bluetooth Hotspot Directions:
- turn on Bluetooth THEN Bluetooth Tether
- turn on Bluetooth in the devices you want to use mobile data on
- pair devices and accept pairing code
- enjoy!

Bluetooth Hotspot Notes:
- We are aware some devices do not have bluetooth tether natively, so we make no guarantees that this app will work on those units (Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy S4 to name a few)
- On some phones, if the app is reopened during tethering session, you might see the app showing you are not tethered BUT you actually still are
- Bluetooth hotspot is not as smooth as WiFI hotspot as sometimes, devices pair but still can't use mobile data connection (this is a phone and not an app issue) so you might need to give it a few tries to start seeing mobile data connection

Disclaimer:
- This app only works for those phones already originally equipped with tethering capabilities but are being blocked by carriers by default. For more information, look at Bluetooth notes.
- We are also aware that recently (a few months ago from this writing), some carriers pushed an OTA update that carried a "malicious" apk file that blocks this app as well as the numerous apps from allowing your phone to tether. This is due to an apk called TetheringProvision.apk. One way around this is to root your phone (AT YOUR OWN RISK) and freeze this apk. Then use tethering apps again.
- SOME carrier phones will still not work because they do some sort of deep packet inspection which we THINK looks into browsers user agents, but cannot be quoted on.

This app is totally FREE and we are doing this for the love of it. Please support us by rating and emailing us any issues you might have and we will help as much as possible. We BELIEVE anything you buy (be it phones or mobile data plans), should be used without usage restriction. It only make sense as you've already paid for it!!!
