It was pretty fast, too. I enabled it by going to the 3 dot menu on the upper right corner, and select the middle option: "Turn on Wifi Hotspot", it generates a password, I somehow tap it again, and it generated another password which I used to get on line. Alas, the next day, when I went to do it, the middle option was grayed out. I'm not sure what happened. Just now, (this afternoon I had to take out my sim from the pinephone because it wasn't receiving text) as I looked at that option (without a sim card in it) it was again selectable (not grayed out). I will have to try it again once I get my phones charged.
I tried to create a WiFi Hotspot (from Mobian WiKi considering USB tethering is not working and will probably not work on the Community Edition) and I can connect to the new created hotspot to share the 4G Internet access but there is no Internet access from the WiFi hotspot (and like for USB tethering, there will probably not work on the Community Edition). The only 4G access working is from the Pinephone himself, trying to share using USB tethering or WiFi hotspot failed. Is there another way to get access to my 4G data from the Pinephone?
Thanks
