No problem at all. I figured that it would still work because it takes it a little bit to recycle the signal. I use an app to refresh the signal, when icon changes I click the hotspot and it works like a charm.

Ok, that's great. Hey by the way what app do you use to "refresh" the signal? There was some indication that toggling Airplane mode allowed the process to work but it failed to work at all for me.

In the playstore its called Network Signal Refresher Lite by 8JAPPS. It works almost everytime for me.
I'll put this here at the end..with the way some of our apps update every few days for no good reason... And sometimes wind up non functional when they do..I think vzw should eat the cost of doing ota's it doesn't happen that often and they sure as hell shouldn't be able to block us from taking them if we choose.
I'm not saying it's the data that is the reason, 94lt1. I think it's more because of the quality of the download. They don't want to be fielding tech support calls because you had to have that update RIGHT NOW and you went through a dead spot so it failed and you have to try again, but then it happened again and now you're all ticked off at vzw and now you're calling REALLY mad and demanding that this should work better and people are ranting all over the net because OTA 1.5GB updates just keep failing and and and and.....
There's just no way for this to NOT end badly.

Just like you stated, works like a charm. Thank you for your input and assistance.

But really...you could wind up with pretty significant issues from a crappy wifi connection ..but idk..I never use Wi-Fi.I'm not saying it's the data that is the reason, 94lt1.

I did, last night. Just getting used to things, like the new dialer screen and such.
It is mostly a soft landing! [emoji6]

OK, so I created another fast option to do this (using your app find for the network). I put the icon for the "Network Signal Refresher Lite" by 8JAPPS (Network Signal Refresher Lite - Android Apps on Google Play), into a folder on the home screen, and then added the widget "Tethering Shortcut" by Kabasoft (Tethering Shortcut - Android Apps on Google Play), and now it's all done from the home screen. Tap the network refresh icon, hit Refresh, Tap home, Tap Tethering Shortcut, tap Mobile Hotspot.
I named the folder "Hotspot".
Done. Don't have to pull down the status bar this way. I'm still looking for a way to make this one tap, but at least this works every time.
