Okay, a little backstory. The day before Thanksgiving, I dropped my 6P getting out of the car and destroyed the screen. I can't afford a replacement digitizer for another month or so, so I've been trying to figure out a replacement. It finally dawned on me last night to use it as a hotspot to use my blacklisted Galaxy S5.
It worked well enough (I used Vysor to enable hotspot via my computer). However, the phone is prone to reboots from time to time. If it reboots when I'm away from my computer, I'm screwed until i get home.
So, long story short, is there any way to enable the hotspot by default so that it turns on every time the phone reboots without me interacting with it?
There's a lot of apps on PlayStore with that purpose:

Ever since rooting my phone yesterday, my wireless and bluetooth have been acting crazy. When I try to enable of disable them they sit there and power on and off until I power cycle the droid.
Any idea on why this is happening or how to fix it

I had the same problem only when running WiFi tether. Make sure it is disabled before trying to enable wifi or bluetooth.
WIFI issues
I don't think it is related to going root. Mine does that once in a while (before I rooted it), but if I shutdown/restart it seems to clear up and work just fine.
Something to do with seeking multiple WIFI profiles and getting stuck in a loop I think.
Stock VZW Droid 2 (factory fresh FRG22D, rooted but still completely stock).
My old droid 2 that broke did that all the time I got a new one and haven't had the issue, I think it might have something to do with the settings, I was never able to fix it.
i have the same problem....i root'ed it last night ...and now the bluetooth can;t be started...i've never had this prbl before rooting :|
Should i use an app for the bluetooth now that it's root'ed??
tnx
Hello XDA. I've noticed that my new Note 4 has been dropping the wifi connection while using the Internet. So what happens is the wifi button suddenly becomes grey and I have to press it to enable it again. It works for a while and then it drops off again...then I gotta press it to enable it...
I've discussed this with Verizon and they are suggesting i do the dreaded factory reset.
I have a feeling that I'll be sending this one back...
Any advice from the experts? Thanks in advance.
Are you having this problem at multiple locations or just one? If at multiple locations, I'd have to agree to try a full reset. If at one, could be a router issue.
Just to cover all the bases, you haven't any power management or something like tasker that could be turning off wifi?
No power management software installed and I really haven't used it much anywhere other than my home wi-fi so I guess I should double check it tomorrow on other networks to confirm before the reset.
I had a similar issue with my Note 3 where I couldn't get wifi to stay on no matter where I was and I needed a new phone...that was after using it for 9 months with no issues....this Note 4 is brand new.
If you are using smart network switch option try to disable it and see if its ok

I am having wireless performance issues and certain data not properly loading under partcular conditions like having Wifi and Mobile data turned on
at the same time, since I purchased the device last week Galaxy S6 Edge Plus.
Whenever this is happening, and also during reboot, I see a short message pop-up showing up
-- connecting to server -- sending report.
Whether good or bad, I prefer to turn off all reporting on application and OS at least those I am able to turn off easily on a un-rooted device.
I did this as well for this device, however, the reports continue to be sent at least once a day. Did someone else notice this and perhaps know what it is,
what data is sent and to whom? Or where can I look this up myself?
The pop-up only shows for a few sencond and then disappears without any hint to product or purpose.
The same here but can't find out what it is.
+1 really annoying

Hi folks. OP5 128GB with latest OOS.
When I enable hot spot my device sometimes turns off the hotspot abruptly. This happens while I have devices connected to it.
Anybody have any ideas on how I can debug this, or how I can fix it?
Apologies if it is little to go off of.
Cheers

This happened on my Nexus 6p a lot. Might just be a bug with Android/Nougat.
I haven't used my OP5 hotspot enough to notice.
Hopefully it goes away with the next system update. I use my hotspot a lot and it's really annoying to enable it over and over and over. Especially when using a VPN connection!
I use it daily, never got this problem. I even used it last week for 9.5 hours in a row with 2 devices connected, no disconnects at all. I'm on 4.5.5 rooted stock OOS.
I use it daily for around 5 to 7h. No problem till now. I'm on 4.5..5
I'm currently using the Pumpkin 8.0 unit and I really like it - however, the process of when I get in my truck is not nearly as simple as I would like it to be and usually involves several minutes of having to stop-start personal hotspot on my iphone (or unlock the screen) and then often opening the wifi settings, sometimes seeing an authorization error that clears up on the next attempt. It's never the same process, seems like there are several things that happen different to get in the way of it just happening.
I have an iPhone 8 Plus I dont use very often that I was just keeping in there with Personal Hotspot turned on, which seems to stay on for a day without turning off. But I usually have to unlock it to get it to show up in the wifi section. Should I disable the lock, would that make a difference? What about using my Galaxy S7, would that be "easier", I havent really tired messing with it yet since that is my main phone.
What hotspot solutions do people use in their setups to avoid the "process" of getting online?
Assuming Android would be much easier. The quickest way I can turn it on off is with bixby with note 8.
Since I'm not rooted I couldn't get Tasker to automate it. I tried nfc tags also. Eventually bixby was my solution.
I'll follow the thread for other recommendations
I also tried NFC tag, but for some reason cellular data can not be switched ON by NFC soft on non-rooted phone (it's OK with WiFi hotspot) - keeping this down during day helps to save battery.
I tried the NFC tag and while I dont turn off cellular data, I was disappointed to learn from the developer that the API to turn on and off hotspots was removed by Google and is not supported in 3rd party apps. I put the quick setting in my drop down notification screen, so at least I can turn it on and off easily. I'm going to try the android phone for a couple days and see if its just another reason for me to dislike apple.
So I have noticed that this is only an issue after the device wakes from sleep via the fast boot. If you reboot the head unit for real it connects first time with no issues.
It also seems happy to connect to real wifi networks without any issues. I don't have an android phone so have not been able to try that, but it would be good to know others findings. I'm not sure how the iPhone hot spot works but it must differ slightly to a normally wifi base station.
