Portable Wi-Fi hotspot Widget for Android
how to use Android widget
Long press on any empty space on your homescreen. You'll then notice the Widgets option just as you would with the longer method. Click on the widget menu then click on the widget you want to install, this will place your widget on your Android home screen.
It works the first time you switch it off and on and then subsequently the widget becomes unresponsive. You have to delete and replace the widget for it to work again. Very annoying.
I play xbox alot and I tryed this and it works. Click on the icon and then when the icon turns green search for the wifi signal. Only problem I'm experiencing now is my xbox and psp both at separate times will try to connect but it's like it's not there.
Turns tethering on, only if it hadn't been turned on since the let reboot or if it was turned off properly. The widget itself doesn't turn tethering off. Just turning WiFi back on doesn't counter as properly.
Nexus 4: The widget icon looks a little out of place on the phone, but seems to work well. There is no visual indication that the hotspot is turned on. In all a bit unpolished, but it does what I need
Works but doesn't give you a choice of Widgets on sprint eco or the sprint Samsung S2 epic 4g touch. Hopefully updates will get them to work.
It works and I like the icon! Also its important to note that the icon DOES change when it's toggled. Not sure if that has to do with a recent update but I like it :-). Great work dev!!
When it works, it works great. Problem is it frequently crashes and requires me to delete and restart the widget. Galaxy s2
Works without a problem. Need to edit that icon though ... also it doesn't turn green when active as per screenshot. SGSII/ICS.
Nice icon, on Sony Ericsson xperia mini pro it turns Wi-Fi on and you can turn it off. But then becomes unresponsive
This is just like foxfi..it turns on for a couple seconds then shuts off...sucks that it works for so many people but us unlimited sprint users cant find anything to let us tether without rooting out phones first..which i am unwilling to do at this point
When I open it my phone keeps restarting. Freaking crap. LG thrill 4g 3d
Won't connect! Disappointed...
The app was my favorite app until the last update killed it. Doesn't work anymore. Won't let you configure. R.I.P.
Did not work at all! Very sad. Just want a app that will give me internet connection.
Works well on my Nexus. Just place the widget and it connects! Easy to set up. May not work on newer phones. I tested on a Note3 and it wouldn't work.
It toggles wifi tether just fine, but the icon doesn't change when enabled and is darn ugly looking!
Dosent. Work on Samsung intercept
Works great on my GNex. No issues and I've been using it for over a year. It's simple and has saved me multiple times. Reliable and fast. Just make sure that you have your phone plugged in the charger as this will eat through your battery like a rat through cheese.
Great Apps to to on the WiFi-Hotspot function on my Samsung Note 10.1 running on Android 4.1.2 Would have given 5 Star if the 'Icon' turn color (green or blue) to show its activated... But a great App nevertheless..
Sometimes stop working. Running ICS , once turned on and off a few times the hotspot stops responding.
Works initially, then decides to stop functioning - need to re-add widget to restore functionality. SGS1 & 2. Please fix.
Doesn't work on jelly bean for me. Will update the stars when it works on my phone.
Saves time AND money! Forget paying for data I already pay for this is perfect. Be nice if the lil guys eyes would change color or something when I turn it on, besides that perfection!
Awsome! Works great with portable games.
Nexus tethered to my galaxy tab = bliss (no complaints) and its free :-)
Ties to work optimus v but connects then it shut down. Stock rom phone was replaced in august they vm blocked that feature
I had to step down to WPA PSK in order to connect, and the icon doesn't change color. Other than that, it works flawlessly, and fast, over Verizon's 4G network. Thanks.
Don't work for my samsung galaxy s epic 2. Try svt.wifi hotspot.
Just scans for open connection which everybody's phone shud already do.
This app rocks does exactly what I need! Reliable connection:)
I have an lg optimus v and it wont work!! Sucks
Running on a verizon galaxy nexus with tethering active on my account. Turns my wifi hot spot on and off with no problems. Will give five stars and donate if they improve or let you customize the widget.
It's nice but icon color doesn't change when we switch it on or off
Doesn't work on my epic but works on wifes nexus s please fix for epic then wil be 5 stars
Works but android doesn't light green but i don't care it works that's all that matters
Doesn't work with Verizon without hotspot subscription
This widget sucks! I installed it and when I click on it, it says "portable Wi-Fi/hotspots cannot be used" and then it turns off my Wi-Fi, waits of time!
Doesn't work on my phone at all it suxx o well uninstall
In my S3 (Android 4.1.2), the icon doesn't turn green to show status. Otherwise works great.

Doesn't work for Boost Mobile. When I try to open it, it says cannot be used. Automatically shuts off all wifi connections. Lame!
