I have visible and when I try to turn on the hotspot it just shuts right off, (after failing to get a “subscription”) anyone have a solution to this
How are you turning it on? Sometimes if you use an official app they try and tie it to a extra monthly fee.
Via the settings, I have unlimited hotspot on my plan and it works fine on my other phone.
This is a screenshot of the error I’m getting
Additionally I have tried via pda net and it still doesn’t work
You have to install pda.net on the other device you want to connect it to, I’ve used it in the past it’s a pain to set up but once you get it going it works very good
I tried that way (with the app installed on both devices) and it still didn’t work.
As a side note is there any way to fix it, so that it will work from system settings
I think you have to have Verizon direct in order to use it from the settings
what service are you using
Visible … (Can we get rid of this 20 character limit)
When my sister switched from Verizon to us mobile she ran into the same issue I spent quite some time with them on the phone and at the end they escalated the problem to Verizon itself. They made some adjustments and it started working. So maybe reach out to your service provider.
It should work fine with any service, just needs a bit of work sometimes. Did you try contacting Visible yet?
What do you mean a bit of work ?
I tried to talk with visible and they were not helpful
Pda net still not working
I don’t know if it depends on the model of the phone I’ve used it on my exalt to give hotspot to another device
What did they tell you?
That the phone is “incompatible with visible” (they just used the online IMEI checker).however this is incorrect
Also a new problem just cropped up: when I turn on the hotspot through pda net and connect a device the phone reboots as soon as a device is con7
You need to get then to enable it, even though they claim its incompatible.
I don’t see how the problem would be on the visible end (my carrier) because my hotspot works just fine in my other phone
Us mobile works with hotspot directly from the settings on the cadence, but it could be every model differs.
