It’s my goddamn motherfucking mobile data and MY PHONE. I should be able to use it however I want. My wifi went down because the greedy, cunt-faced shitbags at Comcast stole taxpayer subsidies to enrich themselves instead of actually providing the service we’re paying for. I tried to switch to a mobile hotspot and my phone refuses to open one. Everyone responsible for this shit should be fed to alligators locked away in a fucking gulag. We have no rights and live in a corporate plutocracy.
This was an issue when hotspots first came out on Android (for me in the UK). Carriers were charging £5-£10 p/m to let you use your own data allowance faster. In the past, the workaround for me was to Root the phone and run 3rd party hotspot software instead of using the build in Android OS hotspot feature.
