Using your 4G service and Mobile HotSpot drains your
phone’s battery at a much faster rate than when using any
other feature combination. The best way to keep using
the phone as a HotSpot is to have it connected to a power
supply.
To secure the Portable HotSpot service:
The two most common methods for securing your
connection to the HotSpot are to a security method
(WPA2 PSK) and to Hide your phone’s SSID name.
