Hot Spot Not Working

[Kinger23]

Bought my Priv on release day up here in Canada and Hotspot has never worked. I've tried third party apps as well with no success. I was hoping Marshmallow would remedy the problem but it hasn't. I've tried using both 2.4 and 5 bands. I was able to Hot Spot with my LG G4 and Nexus 5 so I'm' pretty sure it's not a carrier thing.

I've searched the web and this forum for a fix with no luck. Anyone had or having a similar problem? Any fix out there?

Have you made sure that your carrier isn't blocking HotSpot functionality? If this hasn't been working since day 1 AND the carrier says it should, why not just send it back for a warranty replacement? It's a new phone, isn't it?

I have this weird problem with my hotspot, ever since my BlackBerry Classic, and strangely on my Priv as well. For some odd reason, the SSID never shows up in scans on my tablet, so I wrote a script to manually connect using netsh.
