How do I stop the hotspot from turning off automatically on Z Flip 6

[Idzy]

And why is there no hotspot quick access icon on Samsung's surely lots of people have complained about it and its been years?

I do know how to get the quick access hotspot icon to show but its a real pita to have to connect to a PC and modify it in dev mode every time there is an update.

Hi @Idzy 

Here are a couple of forum threads on this.

• https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/galaxy-a-series/since-yesterday-mobile-hotspot-automatically-tur... 

If you perform a forum search you should find existing threads with some further help within.  

The quick access icon I use is >

I already found that the version of one ui that came with the phone doe not have an advanced section

Press on your hotspot name, and it will go into the edit settings there. You'll see the advanced option that'll allow you to keep the hotspot on indefinitely

Thanks that works, but not exactly obvious.

Hi Idzy,

This might not be relevant or useful anymore (perhaps you've already figured this out?). 

If you click on the 'Band' part, you can get access to the screen that allows you to access 'Advanced' settings. I'm hoping anyone else who reads this can benefit as I've just changed the setting now, so hopefully my hotspot will stop turning off now!
