As many of you know, putting an AT&T SIM into a Nexus 9 LTE causes the mobile hotspot setting to disappear, making it impossible to turn it on.
This is hard coded into AOSP for the LTE variants of both the Nexus 7 (2013) and Nexus 9, and is almost certainly something that the carrier requested. If an AT&T SIM is detected, the setting disappears, and there's nothing you can really do about it short of rooting and modifying the XML file responsible for the functionality. Luckily, for those of us who couldn't care less about rooting, there is a simple solution.
This behavior is also found in literally every single tablet that AT&T sells. Native hotspot is always disabled in the OS, and instead must be configured and enabled via an app called AT&T All Access, which is pre-installed on every single tablet AT&T sells. As luck would have it, this app is available on the Play Store and works flawlessly on the Nexus 9. You can download it here, then just run it, configure your hotspot settings, enable hotspot, and you're in business.
I realize that this isn't ideal and you shouldn't have to download a carrier branded app to enable something that the OS can do natively, but alas, that's the world we live in.
