And yeah some roms are great in helping unlimit the hotspot, however I would be careful in how much data you use, because boost will catch wind of it and then at that point they will blacklist the device or cancel the line, so you'll have to get a new one. This was a big problem back in the day. And I mean people who are using like 100gb +. But anyways man congrats! Nice job getting it running.

I'm on T-Mobile and their speeds are around the 5 mbps mark. I personally think it's too slow most of the time.

I can't see how you can bear such slow speeds.

Anyways, good job getting it set up. 🤝

The phone I have for the hotspot would continuously drop the connections. I think the main speed issue is the fact that I can't get LTE to work on the hone. I believe it has to do with the APN settings but I can't even touch the damn settings lol. "Current User does not have access to APN settings"

I used to own a One Plus 2 and I had to mess with the APN settings to get LTE to work on my T-Mobile network.

Quote:"Make sure that you are in range of a known Wifi Network and follow the next steps:
Turn on Wifi and wait for your phone to connect to it
While connected to the Wifi Network, reboot the phone
As soon as the device restarts it will automatically connect to the previous Wifi network
Go to APN settings following the above-mentioned path and check if you are now able to view/edit
Alternative

Some users reported solving this problem through another simple method:
Turn Wifi ON
Go to Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Network Operators
A search will be executed and afterwards, the list will be populated with one or more Network Operators
Choose the Network Provider from where you bought the SIM card
Go to Access Point Names and add the new APN
Save the data and done.
Everything should work fine now!
Last resort

As a last resort, you should backup all the valuable data you might have stored on your phone (Contacts, Photos, Documents etc.) and perform a Hard Reset.
A Hard Reset will delete and reinstall the newest version of the system feature that handles the changing of APN data and you should have access to add or edit the Access Point Names without experiencing any errors."

Your phone also needs to be on the stock rom it came with when you purchased it.

I went from dialup to satellite to a 3G hotspot - and I only got 3 gigs a month.

It wasn't until my freshman year in college that I got "real" internet.


Never do I want to hear people complain about their internet.
I feel like I used to live in the Stone Age.
