Hotspot Control
Description
Hotspot Control is a tiny app that enables or disables Portable Hotspot functionality of Android. Usually you could just do this in Android settings, but on some devices this option is hidden, or only works if you have a SIM inserted.Hotspot Control does away with those requirements, assuming that the hotspot functionality itself is actually still present on the device. Rooting is not required.
You can configure the access point (hotspot) name and password, encryption used is alway WPA2 AES + TKIP, to keep it simple.
I personally need this to create a private network (even without a SIM, and thus without an actual *internet* connection) in the field between a number of my devices. Some genius at Samsung decided that my Note II shouldn’t create an access point if no SIM is present – I beg to differ! Maybe someone else has use for this as well.
