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!!!

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

Guys if you have a tether plan this isn't going to let you bypass your data restrictions. Your dumb fault for paying additional fees for internet you already pay for.

Uses the built in Hotspot... No reason to have a second app that uses another. Sad to have developers who think it is right to use other people's work.

I don't know about anyone else, but it works great for me. The one instance of it not working for me was on my husband's phone, but it was because he had the Mobile Hotspot feature on his plan. (He ran out of data, so he wanted to try this app.) Make sure that your plan doesn't have the tethering service add-on included or opted in. We have MetroPCS.

Awesome app! Turn your device into an instant WiFi hotspot without any hassles!

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.
