This is a minor annoyance, but perhaps someone has found a workaround...
I haven't had an AT&T tethering-capable plan in a while and I forgot how annoying it is on the Note 4. I can enable hotspot just fine by going into settings / hotspot and flipping the ON switch, but AT&T took away the "enable hotspot" fast toggle and nothing else seems to work to enable it conveniently.
I've tried PowerToggles (which I've been using for a long time) and a half dozen apps that claim to enable the hotspot with a single button, and they just all update to whatever color means "in progress" (orange in the case of PowerToggles), drop my WiFi connection as expected, and... a whole lot of nothin' after that.
I have corporate email on the phone so I really can't get into rooting and ROMs much as I'd love to. I saw mention of a Samsung app for the S6 that restored the missing toggles, but I can't find it for the Note 4.
Has anyone out there with an AT&T Note 4 found a good toggle (home screen button or notification pulldown) that can turn hotspot on and off, or some way to allow PowerToggles (my personal favorite toggle app) to work for that?
Thanks!
PS: I am using a T-Mobile-based MVNO now, but the hotspot works just fine and dandy as long as I go to "options / tethering" and turn it on from there, so there's no problem with the hotspot itself.
