HTC Vivid Wifi hotspot issues
Just received my HTC Vivid. Had an initial issue with data connection but was corrected by changing the APN manually. Now, I cannot turn on my portable WIFI hotspot. It keeps giving me the error message: "This is a temporary network problem that prevents the enablement of the Mobile Hoptspot function. Please retry later." ~ Is it because I am still under 4G and not 4GLTE?? Can someone help? Also tried dialing *#*#4636#*#* as directed but could not let me do any changes. Does AT&T have LTE restricted??

Go to settings, wireless & networks, mobile networks, access point names and add a new APN using your service provider's internet settings and save it. Now activate the newly created APN by checking its box. Now restart your phone and turn on the portable wifi hotspot. It worked for me on the at&t fusion and I'm sure it'll work for you as well. Good luck.

Do you have a data plan that includes tethering? Enabling the portable WiFi hotspot is only allowed if you have a tethering plan, since WiFi hotspot is a form of tethering.
