Hi All,

Rocking my new Note Edge coming from a Note 3. Loving it so far, the edge screen is very cool, with all the shortcuts and news feeds - is it worth the price premium from the Note 4? Maybe not, if you are just looking at functionality, but for the uniqueness, it absolutely is! I always like to be on the cutting "edge" :) and it definitely turns heads - so, why not!

Anyway, I did find one issue so far - and that is with the mobile hotspot. When I use it, the device that was connecting to it kept disconnecting - this never happened on the Note 3 - and was so frustrating.

I found a solution though - you just need to configure the hotspot to a channel instead of auto... as soon as i did this, rock solid connection again.

It's a workaround, and you really shouldn't need to do it.. but hey, if anyone is experiencing this, then I hope it helps.

I need to test the hotspot, it is a key feature I need on the road when staying at hotels and other places with now wifi for the laptop.

I have never used any of my phones for their "Hotspot" abilities, but if I ever do, thank you in advance!!
