Surfing the internet has become one of the most dominant addictions among people round the globe. We use internet on a PC at home or a laptop or smartphone on the go. It’s obvious that to be able to surf the web on devices, we require a wired or wireless data connection. If you have more than one device that use data connection, you might need to subscribe to different data plans for all. Thanks to WiFi hotspot feature that has revolutionized the way we share the data connection of one device with others.
I got an unlimited broadband plan for my PC which I share (using a virtual Hotspot tool) with my phones and tablet to reduce costly mobile data usage. But sometimes, the broadband connection gets disconnected and then it’s my phone’s data plan shared through WiFi tethering that saves my day! Mobile hotspot is one of the most useful features found on all modern smartphones. We use it share the data of one phone with other phones or tablet devices and also with our laptops while travelling.
Unfortunately, a feature used so widely and found so commonly on Android devices becomes a victim of some network providers’ greed as they tend to block it for their users. It’s not that you can’t enable WiFi Hotspot on Android device from carriers like Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T or Sprint, but you need to pay extra money to get a separate plan for enjoying the feature.
Luckily, Android is an open source OS with a great developer community that keeps toiling to make our mobile experience more awesome. If you want to unlock a hidden feature or you are not happy with your phone’s performance as a whole or in a certain department, just Google your concern and you would find a fix.
