Hotspot Widget for Android
Does a fine job of turning HotSpot on and off with one single touch. My WiFi did not come back on. Another widget does, so this one will go.
Works great until I upgraded my phone to galaxy nexus 4.0.4. Now it just doesn't do anything. Could you please create a bug fix for this issue.
Using a my touch and the option for me to open this app isn't even available. Should state that it is not compatible with all phones. Will uninstall and look for better options.
Works great on an lg optimus s. I tried rooting my phone and going through all that hassle and failed. This app is way simpler
Just installed it in my Nexus S. Perfect. Couldn't be more easier. One click and it's ON, one click and it's OFF. Thank you!
This app is excelent so I don't have to go through all the settings to turn on my Hotspot... not I can do it with just the touch of a button.. 1st time you must turn it on manually and then it works like a charm
Great app. This is amazing. Stopped working on a replacement Optimus V from Virgin Mobile with Android version 2.2.2. App still continues to work on my other two phones with 2.2.1. I would think that eventually this will stop working on all phones once the carriers put in patches. Anyone know if this works on v3?
Works great so far.. Jus got to watch out for the system updates kuz it will wise up to this app like it did when I had Optimus wit sprint.
This is exactly what I wanted/needed. And to think the support team didn't know about it. I guess I'll need to watch out for any OS updates, but this works for me.

How to 'root' is at androidcentral site. U can find other opts there..revert, or tether. Hope Harold comes out w a fix real soon tho. Great app!
Can't believe how many ppl are too stupid to read. Its a widget, not an app. If provider prevents u from sharing connection that's a different issue.
Working well on Optimus V, still running 2.2.1 Froyo. There is a cap on "unlimited" data usage with VM though. But I run my Kindle Fire off of this for quick browsing and haven't had issues. Also allows me to password protect & it's easy to use.
I have a lg o optimus 2 I was allowed to download but when I went too use it the widget turned dark and shade of green but my hotspot didn't change....DO NOT GET WASTE OF MEMORY!!!!
App is what it says it is, however doesnt work for my ics note. Seems legit though, thought i would give it a shot
I don't know why, but this turns off my 3g connection when I activate. it used to work on my previous phone.
Replaced my phone. Got the same one and it said network unavailable. Lg optimus v
Love this widget! As for everyone else who is having issues, its the zvd update sprint pushed out. Just flash stock v9 and reroot it will work again
How are you going to create an app that you only planned to work for a single device? I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 which it DOES NOT work for. Cool idea though.
Awesome! Was going to to pay $99 a month for internet, but found this app. Cuts off when making a call though. Other than that, it's a must have!
Sprint is money hungry and wants u to pay extra for the USB internet. Use to work til update
Stupid update! ANY 1 any other way to use lg optimus s as a hotspot?
I use it for my xbox its great with the zte I love it its a lil slow at first PUT A PASSWORD ON YOUR WIFI IF U USE IT FOR XBOX PEOPLE WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE N COULD GIVE YOUR PHONE VIRUSES
Awesome! Sprint's $30/mtly hotspot fee=absurd! Prob solved w/this fab app tho. Flawless on my LG Optimus S. Thx!
The only people who give bad reviews are tragically ignorant. Read descriptions and learn more about your device / carrier.
Sprint is lame. I guess they feel they aren't making enough money on everyone and must charge a ridiculous price for this. I will miss this app.
It didn't work on optimus s stock rom even when rooted but it has worked with all the custom roms I've tried. If use adw launcher set at1column 2rows
Nice! People its a WIDGET! Maybe you will just have to make it an application since people don't understand its a widget...shame
It use to work but now says network unavailable?? Plz help or give other option
I have the widget on my homescreen and you just press it..that's it? I can't pick up a signal, am I missing something? Or is droid x not supported?
I'll give it a 5 star because it works great. But since SPRINT has change my contract/data plan they want to charge me. LG Optimus S (Everyting Data)
This app does not work all it does is turn off my 3g and tell me there's no connection Lg optimus s 2.2
Hot-spot is enabled and working on my phone. I downloaded this widget and put on my homesceen as a short-cut so I don't have to go through settings. However, when I press it, there is no response. Doesn't work. HTC DESIRE on lollipop.
Did not work on my Samsung Galaxy 6. I could hear a clicking noise when I tap it but nothing turned on.
Dis app wuz great b4 my hubby n I did da update!! We both have LG Optimus S.
Dosent work with moto droid from verison...dang can't seem. To get hotspot on here in any way
Even though I pay for the hot spot, this widget would not turn on the service. Bummer.
This was/is the best app out there but the new phones are getting wise to it. Worked for my Charge but not for my Razr. :°(
Great application until Sprint forced the 2.2 update. I wish I could uninstall the update. The widget is worth five stars.

I used this all the time on my Samsung Epic 4g and it worked flawlessly. I am now running Jellybean on a Samsung Note2 and cannot get it to work... it gets hung up trying to turn the hotspot on. Too bad. Its a really nice widget.
