Re: why is my mobile hotspot not working?

Welcome to Android Central! The hotspot function is typically tied to the carrier plan, so if you're not using AT&T and you don't have their data plan, I don't think you can use it. There might be some rooting tricks to get it to work, but I'm not familiar with them.
