I was having similar issues prior to Lollipop but now they are worse. In short, I cannot trigger Mobile Hotspot on/off via a widget and/or Tasker.
When trying to turn on Mobile Hotspot via a widget and/or Tasker, nothing happens. The widget just sits in the "turning it on" phase and does not go anywhere. The same thing happens when using Tasker, whether I play a task or actually enable it. I can however turn it on/off using the toggle in the notification drop-down menu. I have tried multiple widgets from the Play Store with all giving me the same result.
When I was on Kitkat, this happened every once in a while and would be resolved by restarting the phone.
Is anyone else having this issue? Or know of another way I can trigger mobile hotspot via Tasker versus the usual Task --> Net --> Wifi Hotspot.
Reason why this is important to me is that I have my Nexus 7 in my dash and its going to be really annoying if I have to manually turn hotspot on every time I get in my car.
Thanks in advance,
Emilio
