Hotspot and tethering

[M3hrb0d]

Hi all.

I use a galaxy S20, running Android 10 and One UI 2.5.

I had an S7 before, and it had an option in notification slider for Hotspot.. I noticed that this is missing in S20. I was surprised because it's a very useful feature.. or atleast i think it is.

Is it possible to add that to S20??

Thanks!

Hi M3hrb0d,
Please follow the below steps on your phone and get back to us with the results and attach some screenshots of the notification panel.
1. Swipe down from the top of the phone twice until you see the expanded quick settings.
2. To edit either tap the pencil icon or tap the three vertical dots and tap button order.
3. Press and hold on the option you want to add to the quick settings, in this case, mobile hotspot, and drag it into the quick settings.

Mobile Hotspot quick menu icon removed by Canadian carriers. I do not know the reason, but same as Mobile data quick menu icon, it was removed. They just added this icon back since One UI 2.1 as I remembered.

Hi M3hrb0d,
Sorry for the inconvenience caused. The hotspot and tethering icon is not available on the notification panel. It was removed from the notification panel as mentioned by Tallman. However, you can find it under phone settings.

From Settings, search for and select Mobile Hotspot and Tethering. Tap Mobile Hotspot and Tethering again, and then tap the switch next to Mobile Hotspot. To turn off Mobile Hotspot, tap the switch again.

You can use adb commands to enable the Hotspot toggle in the QS Tiles.
