How To Configure Mobile Hotspot Settings?

[zanshin777]

When I go to "Settings - About Device - Device Name" the Device Name is "Jack T"

However when I check wireless networks with my laptop "Jack T" does not show up.

When I go to "Settings - Connections - Tethering and Mobile hotspot" there I can not configure Device Name and Password for Mobile Hotspot because there is no such a thing to do that.

So how to do that?

Device : Samsung Galaxy Note 4
Android Version : Android 6.0.1 Marshmellow

In those settings, tap 'Mobile Hotspot' (not the toggle, just the text) and you should be taken to a page with the network name, password, and WiFi sharing (if supported) toggle. If you want to further customize your hotspot, you can tap the menu button there.

Interesting thing is when I click Menu button there is only single element which is "Help"


???

Can you post a screenshot of what you're seeing? I unfortunately don't have a Note 4 handy to test in, so I can only go by what I see on mine, which shouldn't be that different.

Ok, now I could do it.

The settings is not at; Settings - Connections - Tethering and Mobile hotspot - Menu

Rather than it is at; Settings - Connections - Tethering and Mobile hotspot - Mobile Hotspot - Menu

Thank you very much SpookDroid.
