Hotspot Control

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 and operational on the device. Rooting is *usually* not required.

THIS IS NOT DESIGNED TO BEAT YOUR CARRIER'S TETHERING PROTECTION - For some people it does (it depends on how that protection is implemented) but this is not what the app was made for. It's no use complaining that it doesn't do this for you. This app is designed to circumvent some issues when setting up a *local* hotspot so your devices can communicate with eachother, *not* with the internet (though that also works on several devices).

You can configure the access point (hotspot) name and password, encryption used is alway WPA2 AES + TKIP, to keep it simple.

On some devices that do not have a cellular data connection capability (like the Nexus 10) the hotspot will not give out IP addresses - the app will auto-detect this situation and fix it, but root is required for that option. Note that without root on these devices, the connected devices can still communicate if you configure their IP addresses manually, but that is something for the advanced user.

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.

For discussion and questions, see the thread on XDA:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230848热点控制是一个很小的便携式热点功能的Andr​​oid的应用程序启用或禁用。通常你可以做到这一点在Android设置，但某些设备，此选项是隐藏的，或只是工作，如果你有一个SIM卡插入。

热点控制这些要求，假设热点功能本身实际上仍然存在，并且在设备上运行。生根*通常不是必需的。

这不是设计击败运营商的网络共享保护 - 对于一些人来说它（这取决于如何实施的保护），但这不是什么应用程序是为。这是没有用的，抱怨它不为你做这个。这个应用程序是为了逃避一些问题时，设立一个*本地*的热点，使您的设备之间可以通信与海誓山盟，*不*与互联网（虽然这也适用于多个设备）。

您可以配置接入点（热点）的名称和密码，加密方式常是WPA2 AES + TKIP，以保持它的简单。

在一些设备上不具有蜂窝数据连接能力（如Nexus的10）的热点不会给IP地址 - 应用程序将自动检测到这种情况，并修复它，但根需要该选项。请注意，在这些设备上无根的，所连接的设备仍然可以沟通，如果你手动配置IP地址，但是那是为高级用户。

我个人需要创建一个私有网络（即使没有SIM卡，并因此没有实际的*互联网连接）在该领域一些我的设备之间。决定我的注意，不应该创建一个接入点，如果没有SIM卡是目前在三星的一些天才 - 我不敢苟同！也许别人利用这一点。
