I have a quick question for anyone who has the RAZR and mobile hotspot feature on their plan. When you turn the hotspot on, are you able to connect any devices to it? I absolutely love the phone, but I get so frustrated every time I try to use the hotspot. I turn it on, go to my device I want to connect (I've tried my laptop with Windows 7, my PC, my tablet, another phone) and try to connect, I get a message saying that "Connecting to the network is taking longer than usual", and then a message saying that the connection failed. I tried going into a Verizon store, and they were very helpful (suggested turning 4G off when using the hotspot because it might be causing some trouble), but they never found a solution. I called Verizon to get help and they suggested turning the "Global Roaming" feature on in the settings for some reason, but that didn't work. They had me call from a different phone so they could try to troubleshoot it, and we tried at least 20 different things with no success, so I gave up after 2 hours.
I've previously used the hotspot on the Pre Plus, Pixi Plus (I love the free 4GB of mobile hotspot on those two phones), Pre 2, Pre 3 and a Droid X and had no trouble connecting with those devices. So I guess I'm wondering if it's just my RAZR (I have no trouble with data connection on the phone, so I doubt it's that), or if it's a software bug on the phone. Has anyone successfully connected devices to their phone?
