Samsung is not addressing the hotspot issue with M31. I have lenovo laptop running windows 8.1 which detects all the other hotspots from phones like oppo, Mi. But it fails to detect my M31 hotspot. Phone hotpot is getting detected by other phones but not by my laptop. Rebooting, driver update everything tried with no results.Not understanding what is the issue. Have returned to samsung after using multiple other brands and this is what I get. Worst part is samsung is not even addressing the problem. Bluetooth tethering works but it is very slow. I require internet while working in hospital during duty hours and its a real handicap without hotspot. Never trusting samsung again....Good that I did not waste loads of money on their flagship phone!!
