Making Android phone hotspot, need help
Have 8.1 on PC and an Android phone LG version 5.0 can not figure out how to use phone as a hotspot. Used to have Pdanet and used with an older phone. Willing to try as USB hookup or Bluetooth...

pdanet and foxfi are one in the same today (been that way for about a year now.) if you have pdanet without foxfi built in, you need to update your copy of pdanet.
pdanet does work with some lg phones under 5.0 but it's finicky. I use it with an lg g2 on Verizon and often have to hit the wifi hotspot button under pdanet a few times for it to start successfully.
If you're on verizon and have a limited data plan, the official wifi hotspot app can be turned on for free - I think you do it through the website.
usb is actually harder now to make work than wifi, due to increases in device security and I have no experience using the bluetooth mode.
