It’s my goddamn motherfucking mobile data and MY PHONE. I should be able to use it however I want. My wifi went down because the greedy, cunt-faced shitbags at Comcast stole taxpayer subsidies to enrich themselves instead of actually providing the service we’re paying for. I tried to switch to a mobile hotspot and my phone refuses to open one. Everyone responsible for this shit should be fed to alligators locked away in a fucking gulag. We have no rights and live in a corporate plutocracy.
If your phone is unlocked then this feature is free already.
Do you do it? How?
Just go to hotspot in your settings and enable it. If you have an unlocked device. If it’s locked you can root the device to get this functionality.
Yeah, but carriers can see that it’s hotspot traffic for 2 reasons: packet time to live is different on computers and android (and AOSP) snitches you out. So they throttle it or send you to a captive portal.
I’ve used root or unlocked devices for years and have never had an issue with throttling or a portal. I use a hotspot on my laptop weekly.
