Don't give people the wrong idea. Hotspot works perfectly for me right out of the box, as I'm posting this using wifi from my 6P to my laptop. And yes, I have Sprint.
Only speculation will tell what happened with your 6P. but hotspot is working here.
Out the box it does not work for me either. However I hear through Bluetooth it works OK. I plan on trying tomorrow

What plan are each of you on as that may be an indicator of hot spot availability. It works on my but I am on a share plan that includes tethering on my data allotment.

My hotspot also does not work. I'm on the unlimited plan with no tethering. So it does seem you have to have it on the plan.

I have the Unlimited plan. I couldn't keep the Unlimited My Way plan I had with my Note 3.
Now that I've just carefully read Sprint's Unlimited Everything plan details, I see that 3 GB mobile hotspot IS included. I did not know that! BUT...since this is not a Sprint device loaded with their bloatware & security settings, & the 6P already HAS hotspot capability built in, could there be any correlation?
Anybody come from a Moto Nexus 6? If so are you happier with 6p? I love my Shamu and not sure I wanna grab 6p.. Just curious if anyone made leap from 6-6p and what ya thought....
I jumped from the 6 to the 6p. It's super nice, doesn't rock on the table, and the finger print scanner is really good, but I have dozens of micro USB cables. Having to buy a bunch of type c cables/chargers is a bit annoying since many of the ones out there are crap right now.

Honestly that would depend on when you got your plan because the new unlimited plan includes the hotspot but if you got your plan before October 16th or 17th then it won't retroactivly give you hotspot functionality. But subscribers after that date you get the new 3 gigs of hotspot included with unlimited data. You a specifically have to upgrade to the new plan. But you would have to see how that differs in terms to the one that you have now. But if hotspot was already on your plan it should work automatically as is doing for mine.
Very curious if anyone figures how to get tethering to work without root ideally.

I also made this switch from Shamu and have to say do it. Loved the hell out the N6 but the 6P is a way nicer phone IMO.
Blazing fast and seems more of a premium phone.

I'm having a problem with the 6P where after a call the phone reconnects at 3G instead of LTE. I live literally 300 yards from a spark tower so this shouldn't be happening . My nexus 5 never does this.
Steps to reproduce.
1. Call your voice mail , after answer ,hang up.
2. Phone is on 3G
3. After a few minutes phone switches back to B25 and after about 10 minutes gets back on B41.
Doesn't happen every time ,maybe 1 out of 3 so please try it a few times.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
You could maybe try resetting your phones connection using the dialer...
#*#*72768*#*#
Then try the Update Device Config under Carrier Settings. Sprint told me that it sometimes can take a very long time for the phone to be provisioned correctly.
Worth a try answers y

I finally got the note... The phone is awesome... This is the phone of all phones.... The only thing i dislike is the data service AT&T offers my area... The service kills every thing about this phone is capable of doing.... AT&T doesn't have lte here... But they have the 4g... Which is not consistent enough to even call it 4g.... It picks up 4g and then switches to regular 3g... I won't pay AT&T an extra 20 bucks a month for this service... After half a day with this service, the note will be returned to AT&T and hope Verizon gets it very soon...
For the mean time galaxy SII on the Sprint network will do very well...

Don't take it back. Wait until after your first month and then go to the AT&T store and tell them you want to buy your contract out ($324). Now unlock your Note and use it on any carrier! This is what I am doing. Got my Note for half price ($149) and next month am buying out my contract and using the note on Straight Talk!
$324 + $149 = $473
Have fun with Verizon's 1.5Mbps "3G" network versus AT&T's 7-14Mbps FauxG network.
My company-use Vivid regularly sees 5-7Mbps in my town. My buddy's work Droid RAZR MAXX? 1.3-1.7Mbps.
Have fun with Straight Talk, too. 3.2Mbps max download and pray to all the Gods in the universe that you never have an issue that requires you to call in to customer care.

Don't forget Verizon's multiple 3g/4g outages the past few months.
Why don't you get some info from ATT on when they will deploy LTE in your area. Do you travel.?

Sorry to hear. It is a great phone but it would suck if the network is not cutting it where you live. A poor network would take away a lot of the GNote's potential in my view. Hope you get it on another network in the future.

But doesn't straight talk still use ATT lines? Or are you saying the cost is low enough to endure the poor ATT network where he lives?

Hey the Note is awesome. Wireless networks fast or slow are amazing, considering what you can do on them. Remember the Zach Morris bricks we use to carry? Besides at&t has 40 or so million smartphone users and over 100 million total data users. It's amazing that the network is as reliable as it is. Kindle, Nooks, PlayStation Vitas, UPS, FedEx ATMs Vending machines you name it the **** doesn't happen by magic.

I would love to know why that is too. After the iPhone made its way to Verizon, I thought at&t would have been in a really tough spot.

AT&T is great when you're in an area that doesn't offer LTE. Their HSPA+ puts Verizons 3G to shame. Only reason I don't have T-Mobile is because I didn't get great reception at home. Swapping phones at will is nice as well.
I am using my note on tmobile and I'm getting great speeds on it. Throughout he day I usually get 6-10mbs download speeds. Sometimes I peak at 12mbs. The upload isn't great. I usually got 1-3mbs on my t989 but only around 100-500kb on the note. No biggie. Still fast for me. Only problem is it hangs occasionally and I have to toggle it on and off to get it working. I'm looking for a workaround for that.

I came from Verizon too with unlimited data. So far it's been almost a month now and it's truly unlimited. I'm still using the mobile hotspot and I'm getting at least 15-20mbps. I just checked my data and wasted 18gb. Most of the time I'm using the native mobile hotspot. My backup is WiFi tether.

im guessing when your parents cut off the data, they took off the unlimited and made a family shared data plan. and to get hotspot, you have to pay extra for that, unless your rooted

I dont know whats up but here is some extra info.
My parents cut me off of texting calling and data back in feburary. I saved up and got this phone full price. While at the verizon store buying this phone I mentioned I didnt have data. The guy activating my phone pulled out my new sim and typed a bunch of stuff in for a few minutes and put it in my phone and handed it to me. When I tried signing into gmail, 4g worked. Before my parents cut my data off I had unlimited. While I was cut off my family changed to shared. Could the guy at the verizon store have done something letting me have unlimited or shared with no tethering?

Call Verizon and tell them you have a shared data plan and to activate the Hotspot. It should work by default.

He shouldn't need that since he's on a shared data plan. That would be nice if he had unlimited data.

The odd thing is that I may be on unlimited individually or something but on shared as a family. My data is still counted on the shared data pool but I dont get tethering.

Only way to really find out is dial *611 on your phone and click the call Verizon option and ask them and find out what plan you have. If your on unlimited data or shared data. If shared tell them the hotspot doesn't work.

That...isn't...possible. You can't be both unlimited and shared. You can't be individual plan and be family shared.

Dude you could have had this resolved ages ago by just dialing *611 then selecting call Verizon on the bottom on the list. They can FIX this issue you are having and ONLY them. You must be handicapped or something to not have called Verizon already. This is all based off the picture you posed. Based off your picture you posted you have 6GB of SHARED data which means FREE Hot Spot access.
So I've seen some threads about this here, in the Verizon section, on other forums and I just don't get it. I've already done the advanced settings tweaks, the *#0011# thing, upgraded my AC66U's firmware and it just doesn't load pages as quickly as my Note 2 or my partners S4. So anyway, I just tried disabling data in settings and using data on-off app and LTE/3G stay on regardless of this setting. Could this possibly be the culprit? I might have to return the phone if I can't solve this within a week

I keep getting "your Internet connection is unstable" in the notification panel and phone is constantly disconnecting from wi fi. Anyone else experiencing this problem?
In Wifi settings uncheck Auto Network Switch. Once I did that my wifi was fine and stayed connected.

Yeah, my Wi-Fi is good, doesn't disconnect, but web page loading is less snappy than my note 2

Go to dialer, *#0011# hit menu, Wi-Fi, turn off Wi-Fi power save mode, reboot. Go back in to confirm it's disabled. As for AC66U firmware upgrade, simply go to the product page on Asus' website, download and update through the router.

Confirmed as known issue on sprint forums. Well that took long enough. Let's see if they issue a solution before my 14 days are up. If not I will never willingly purchase another Samsung product again.

Thanks, just saw it. I think this whole thing has to do with the Wi-Fi chip used in the Note 3. I remember Anand mentioning something about a cheaper chip than that of the S4 and something about extra power saving features.

Well what a fail on their part, yeah I'm done with Samsung.

Yeah, Brian had quite a bit to say about the BCM4339 combo. I wish I had paid more attention to this prior to purchasing, but I still have until late next week to return. Btw, is the one time return thing with Sprint only good for swaps, or will they do a one time return as well? Also, I got it from the website, so can I still return it in store?

The in store rep told me everything would be reset as before the purchase ever occurred, not sure about online purchases though.

, went to swap note 3 Sunday to satisfy my curiosity , the store rep does swap in front of manager and sees "Internet connection is unstable " in notification bar of 2nd note 3 handset, I showed him my htc was connected to the same network and was able to switch wi fi networks flawlessly. He claims he will talk to his Samsung rep this week and if not resolved, I could confirm by phone dissatisfied and return after 14 day guarantee as long as I call it in before. Hmmmmm.
I set up an RMA to return mine yesterday and switched back to my Note 2. Anyway, I booted up the Note 3 a few hours ago, with Wifi only (no service), and this thing is flying through loading everything. This all makes me think that this is related to 3G/4G data + Wifi both being active at the same time. I really wish I knew, but I'll test some more until the RMA kit arrives and post back later.
Edit - Actually I just realized something. My Note 2 is rooted and I use ad blocker, whereas my Note 3 is not rooted, meaning ads load in everything including speedtest itself. I'm thinking this could be part of the problem, at least with my web page load times. Hmmmmm
It must be user error my wireless works fine on multi wireless networks and I'm able to turn it off wireless when needed there are two setting in the advanced tap under wireless one is (Auto Network Switch) and (Always allow scanning When wifi is off option) when I disable those two wireless stays off till I need it. On my work wireless I pulled 30 megabits per second close to 35 megabits per second home wirless 4glte 20 -30 megabits per second guys stop crying like little girls most new phones have bugs I'm sure they will get worked out. go get an HTC one or an Iphone 5s

I've already done advanced settings stuff, immediately after receiving it. This is all related to ping and not maximum throughout aka what you mentioned is irrelevant.
Anyway, if you own an AC66U, disable explicit Beamforming (under professional tab). It's not even supposed to be implemented yet, but disabling it has improved my ping and throughout quickness substantially.

It's an Asus router that supports wireless AC. The Note 3 connects at 433mbps over AC
