    Have Samsung galaxy 4 . Personal hotspot works a treat. On 3 network.
    It's a pain having to continually turn it on every now and again... Is there a setting that can keep it (or an app) on permanently.?

    Thks

    You wouldn't want to keep it on always anyway as your battery would die much quicker.

    One way around it would be to buy a cheap Bluetooth usb Dongle for your laptop. Keep that plugged in to the laptop. Then using the tasker app you could set it to switch on wifi hotspot when it picks up the Bluetooth signal and switch it off when it's lost. That way if your laptop is on your hotspot will be on.

    I've never done this myself but I can't see why it wouldn't work.

    Sounds like it's turning off wifi while in sleep mode, which is the default behaviour.
    If you go into advanced wifi settings you should be able to find the sleep policy setting. Set it to keep wifi on always.
