does anyone know how auto hotspot work? I'd like to use my Samsung galaxy tab s4 with note 10 auto hotspot....thanks
 
Are you certain your wireless plan allows for hotspot usage? Which carrier do you have, and what country are you in?
 
If you're in the US and have a carrier branded phone it's likely the feature was removed. I know Verizon is notorious for modifying Samsungs default features like this. I could easily see them removing this to prevent people from going over on data by accident.
 
Are you logged in with the same Samsung account on both devices? That might be a factor.
 
OP I'm with Verizon and my plan includes Mobile Hotspot.
Am on Android 10 using a Note10+. As was stated may be a carrier suppression (and you might use an app like: QuickShortCutMaker to find it), though i found it under Connections/ MobileHotspot&Tethering/ MobileHotspot (long press to see sub menu)/ Select AutoHotspot
And, do check out the afore mentioned app if Auto Hotspot is not there in the settings! Good Luck

I have Verizon, and mobile hotspot is available on my plan.

Forget auto hotspot.

Pull your screen down from the top.
Touch hotspot to turn it on.


Do the same thing to turn it off.
 
I mean....it doesn't show auto hotspot network on my galaxy tab s4....it shows on my note 10+.....
Your tablet wouldn't have a hotspot unless you have a tablet that connects to cellular. The tablet has to be signed in to your Samsung account.

When you scan for wifi networks on your tablet do you see your phone? That's where you connect, password is usually your phone number.
