Hello everyone,
Longtime Samsung user here and believer in unlocked phones. Recently purchased an unlocked Galaxy S6 to use on Tmobile. I have it setup and working (data, wifi, and calling works flawlessly). However I've encountered an odd issue, I can start the Wifi hotspot, however no other devices can see the SSID being broadcast to connect to the network.
I did several hours of research, even found this thread: http://ift.tt/1S3Lpvi ; which pointed me to a couple of solutions I tried:
The phone allows me to activate the tethering, and I do have a Tmobile plan that allows tethering, I just can't find the phones SSID on any other device during the wifi network scan (tried multiple other phones/tablets/computers).
This functionality allows me to work remotely on the road, so I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you all may have. Unfortunately due to the BYOD policies in place at my organization (and the root check in place in our apps) rooting is not a problem.
I am open to a third party tethering solution if one exists for this phone on T-mobile. Haven't been part of that scene in some time, so I'm unsure what apps are reputable, so any recommendations there are appreciated.

- Enable/disable Wifi power saving
- Make sure only approved devices isn't checked
- Manually select a Wifi channel (tried auto and manually selecting channels to no avail).
