Galaxy s4 use as mobile hotspot...?

I may have poor vision, but I can't see a search link on this forum.I am trying to configure the s4 for mobil hotspot. I created a password as requested. I got an error message to the effect that I need a subscription to Verizon mobil hotspot or some such. I was under the impression that I could just use this as a hotspot.

Which data plan do you have? Nationwide Plan with unlimited data? Nationwide Plan with tiered data? Share Everything Plan?

Do I have to use the Mobile Hotspot for my Palm Pixi Plus?

I'm thinking about getting a Palm but are you required to use the Mobile HotSpot feature or is a optional application? It comes installed on the phones, yes? But do you have to use it?
And are you required to pay for it even if you don't use it? And if you are, is it an additional $40 on top of the $30 monthly data plan?
Thanks

Did you have an unlimtited data plan before you purchased your Pixi? Verizon told me two different times today that the free hotspot was no longer available unless you had an unlimited data plan BEFORE the July price change.

Droid X - Problem using 3G Mobile Hotspot

About half the time I use my Droid X 3G Mobile Hotspot feature it drops from a 3G signal to a 1X signal. I will have about 3 bars of 3G signal, I will turn the 3G Mobile Hotspot feature on and the signal will drop to a 1X signal. If I turn the feature off, it will return to a 3G signal. Does anybody else have this problem or know how to fix it?
Thanks

I have seen a few reference to the number of 3G bars they have, are you by chance referring to the signal strength bars, because if you are combining these two I hope you relieve the bars meter represent the phones signal strength not the 3G strength.. The phone has more than one radio signal, the phone and data signal are not transmitted from the same signal so just because the phone is receiving a good does not mean the 3G data signal is as strong... The only indicator you have to indicate your data connection is the 3G and 1X indicator on the top status bar.
Try moving device and see if the phone returns to 3G mode because I haven't noticed this issue but I have noticed the drop of a signal strength of phone when a data connection is active. Never nothing major but it does drop until data connection is disconnected. Sounds like a software bug.

Can i use my mobile hotspot modem

I just bought a Airport Extreme. I DO NOT have DSL or Cable modem yet. Can I hook up my Tmobile Wifi Hotspot as my internet source to the Airpport extreme?

The AirPort Extreme requires a wired Ethernet Internet connection at its WAN "O" port in order to function as a router. If your modem has an Ethernet port, then it is likely that it could be used with the AirPort Extreme.

HT1947 Can you use a mobile hotspot on your iPhone 4s to control the remote app?

Can you use your Iphone 4s as a moblie hotspot to control Itunes via the remote app?

The camera roll is not part of the sync process at all.
You should be importing these photos to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera. Youc an organize them on your computer and sync the to the iphone if you wish.
The photos sync from the computer to the iphone is one way.
The iphone mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.

IPhone4 used as mobile hotspot for iPad2

This option (at $20/mo for 2gb) seems the most economical but what are the downsides?
Can I still use the phone at the same time for incoming/outgoing calls?
Can I turn off the "hotspot" button to conserve useage?
Would it be better to just get a monthly data plan for the iPad alone (@ $20/mo for 1gb or $35 for 3gb)?
If I do use it as a hotspot, should I then get just the WiFi version of the iPad2?

You cannot use the phone for calls while you are using the hotspot for data. That's a limitation of CDMA. Calls will take priority over data. I have read, but can't personally confirm, that data use on the phone while the hotspot is in use counts against the 2GB. If you plan to always have your phone with you when you want 3G data on the iPad, then you can save money by buying the WiFi version and using the hotspot. If the devices will be separated, for example use by a family member, then you may want the 3G model. You need to think about how and where you are going to use the iPad to make the best decision.

I started a download of a Movie to rent on my iPad using a mobile hotspot. The HD version is taking longer to load than I have time. Can I stop the download to the iPad and rather downdoad a standard version to my Windows Vista machine?

How can I stop a download of a Movie for rent in HD to my iPad? There isn't enough time to download it. I shall have to download to my PC and probably the standard version and then sync the iPad.

I think your best bet here is to contact the app developer. Sounds like you need advanced troubleshooting that someone who is a part of the app would know best how to resolve. Best of luck.

IP Address Conflict Using Mobile Hotspot On Iphone 5

Hello,
I just got my new Iphone 5 and I love it, apart from one little problem. Now when I connect it to my laptop using the mobile hotspot (either via usb or wireless) I am constantly getting a network error popup stating that there is an ip address conflict.
Hardware info:
Iphone 5 16gb
Asus G74S Laptop with Windows 7 64bit
Error info:
The error popup is in the form of a small window titled Network Error. It states "Windows has detected an IP address conflict" "Another computer on this network has the same IP address as this computer... blah blah blah"
The windows system event viewer has the following log:
Source is Tcpip
The system detected an address conflict for IP address :: with the system having network hardware address 00-00-00-00-00-00. Network operations on this system may be disrupted as a result.
The event ID is 4199
Done so far:
Already did every single troubleshooting step in regards to ip address conflicts, ipconfig /release and /renew, flush dns etc. I even did an entire system restore on my laptop back to factory settings. Installed a fresh Itunes 10.7 64bit and reconnected my new Iphone 5 and am still getting this message. I never had this problem with my Iphone 4.
Called Apple tech support, they ran me through all the steps relating to the phone itself, reseting network settings, resetting factory settings, removing and re-inserting the sim card, you name it.
Disabled IPv6 in the registry and reboot, still the same popup occurs.
Tried to assign a static IP address to Ipv4, still the same popup
Any ideas?

Still having the same issue....Is there another thread in which this is resolved? Iphone 5, IOS 6. It's just the phone tethered to a laptop (have tried with two laptops, both get the ip address conflict error, so the problem resides in the phone). No other devices are on the network. Was this ever addressed?
We use the iphone 5 as a mobile hotspot for our business, which is completely internet/skype based, and we need to be mobile. Mifi keeps kicking off the connection, so they are not an option. Thank you.

Unable to use Mobile Hotspot of USB tethering

I've purchased a At&T HTC M8 at best buy USA and unlocked it from At&T . Now I am in india using a differnt network and unable to use the Mobile Hotspot and USB tethering .. Any idea ?

The hot spot is a carrier feature. Since you are not in ATT it isn't working.
Contact your carrier to see if it can be activated.

Can I use my mobile hot spot in Europe?

Can I use the mobile hotspot feature on this phone in Europe?

Cmcculla, I hope you're planning on having some fun in Europe and not just business! I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the Galaxy S III is not a global device and will only work on WiFi in Europe. A future update is expected to add global capability to this phone, but it is not available at this time. I apologize for any inconvenience.

Mobile Hotspot not working after upgrading to 4.4.2

My husband and I have identical Motorola phones. He let his upgrade to Android 4.4.2 over a month ago. Since then, his Mobile Hotspot cannot be used to connect to our home PC. If you use your mobile hotspot, DO NOT LET IT UPGRADE!!!!!!!!
Three visits to local Verizon store, more than 50 power-off's (many of them soft boots), a long phone call to Verizon support. Still not working. Except once two weeks ago for several hours, then failed again. About a week ago,our HP laptop started connecting to the Hotspot, but the desktop cannot. My hotspot (which is fortunately still running 4.1.2) provides internet access just fine. Strange new symptom last week: once the laptop has connected to the 4.4.2 Hotspot, the desktop can as well. Sigh. Verizon offered to replace his phone under warranty, but the new one is expected to arrive with the latest version. I am not optimistic about that. Others must be having the same problem. Perhaps not as desperate as us because it is our only internet service at our rural home. We are still paying full price for our plan, but do not have the service. And, we have spent literally a hundred hours trying to debug this. Come on, Verizon, this needs to be fixed!

Just tried another soft boot. Same behavior.
Thank you for responding.

I Asked my carrier and they are saying that we don't handle any mobile hotspot options and this might be originated from your mobile device.

VERY slow mobile Hotspot connection?

I recently purchased the 4510L LTE mobile hotspot as it was that or dial up. I have been getting download speeds that generally cap out at about 100 KBps. That seems very slow for this area, with 3G coverage. I am always at 3 or 4 bars of service and am unsure if this is standard for that or if I am for some reason getting incredibly slow internet.

Yes, I have tried to move it around the house and that helped in a very very small way. I just don't think my area is really cut out for this type of service, I recently discovered that there is one company that offers DSL and hopefully I can get that. I luckily still have time on my 14 days and hope that I don't have any trouble returning and canceling my service.
Thanks to the community member for your input.
Hi MyUnluckyDay,
Have you kept trying to use your mobile hotspot to see if the speeds improved? Are you using a laptop with the connection that has an Anti Virus program running at the time slow speed occurs? If so, please try clearing the cache on your web browser and disable your Anti Virus program and retry using the hotspot to see if this improves the speed of your connection. Speeds can vary depending on what your doing on the connection such as downloading a large application or streaming videos, etc. Also, there was a software update released on September 1st that can help with the connection issues. Here is a direct link to our website that will provide steps on how to obtain the software update. I hope these suggestions can help with your concerns.

Mobile Hotspot Issue after 10.1 Update

Hello, just wondering if there is a know issue with using mobile Hotspot after update z10 to 10.1. After this update was installed Mobile Hotspot will turn on but past network that I had created is not there anymore, also I cannot configure, when I press configure nothing happens, and then Mobile Hotspot turns itself off.

Hello dnivek,
Welcome to the forums.
I would suggest you contact your mobile service provider to ensure you are on the correct data plan to allow you to use the Mobile Hotspot feature. If they confirm you are on the correct plan and have the correct APN settings then please have them escalate your issue to BlackBerry Technical support for investigation.
