On a Note 4, the icon looks like its made in paint, plus, since 5.1.1, the hotspot does not switch off when tapping it and the "wi-fi is resuming" feature does not work if you go to the hotspot setting in the android menu to turn it off.

After trying 4 other widgets, this one works with my galaxy s5! I gave 4 stars because if your phone is plugged into charger, the hotspot won't turn on. It says tethering active. So, u have to unplug your charger, then plug it back in after turning off. Once that is fixed, 5 stars for sure. AND TO OTHERS THAT CAN'T FIND THIS "APP," IT'S A WIDGET THEREFORE IT IS NOT WITH THE APPS. Good luck! UPDATE: 2 days later, it does not switch it on, only switches it off. Uninstall.

When you press the widget, it says tethering is active. But this is misleading as the hotspot isn't activated when you check the primary settings...

Worked great first two times while testing. Now only works intermittently. The widget will light up blue, indicate that it's checking subscription status for the hotspot capability, and sometimes it will actually engage the hotspot, other times, it won't, but it will stay blue. Not really sure what the root cause of the variance is here...

Its a Widget, works on S5 Verizon

This one finally works. It is a widget and not an app, so it can't be dragged into a collection, but I don't hold it against the app. The only thing that didn't make me 5 star this is that it doesn't restore wifi to previous state if you use widget to turn it off. I.e. if you had WiFi on prior and toggle hot spot on and off, it doesn't turn WiFi back on. That's all this is missing. (At least on s5 vz)

It is a widget, not an app. That is why it doesn't show under downloaded apps. Press on empty space on any of your windows, search for it on widgets, install, and enjoy. Please go to youtube and learn how to install widgets instead of evidently being a noob. Good luck y'all.
