It’s my goddamn motherfucking mobile data and MY PHONE. I should be able to use it however I want. My wifi went down because the greedy, cunt-faced shitbags at Comcast stole taxpayer subsidies to enrich themselves instead of actually providing the service we’re paying for. I tried to switch to a mobile hotspot and my phone refuses to open one. Everyone responsible for this shit should be fed to alligators locked away in a fucking gulag. We have no rights and live in a corporate plutocracy.
Did you buy your Pixel directly from Google? If you got it from your cell carrier, they probably have the option to lock certain settings. I have a Pixel 5a from Google and I can tether all I want.
Bought from the Google Store. Running Android 13.
Which Android version are you on? And just to confirm, you’re trying tethering with your mobile data off, right?
I’m on 13. I just turned off mobile data and I am able to turn on the hotspot.
Interesting. I’m not sure why it’s disabled for me then.
