After 5.1 update I experienced my hotspot would turn on ok but the network name is gibberish, unprotected and 1mbs speed. I can't change any values as it won't allow me to save. Is it hardware or software?

Nothing seems to change the network name not that it matters it is I2NtYiWFQxMjU0 and the security is none.  The "save" button is faded and never becomes active.  Am I looking at hardware or software issues?  Everything else in the phone seems to function normally

PI_Stan, having all the features on the phone work is very important. Getting a software update should always improve services. Let's make sure we make that happen. I would recommend on deleting the Applaciton Cache for the mobile hotspot.

My Galaxy note 3 is all [removed] with this latest update. My GPS no longer functions properly. I hate freaking Samsung and now I hate Freakin Verizon! I'm so done with both. This is ridiculous and frustrating as [removed].

Hi and thanks for replying.  I believe my problem was fixed by doing a factory reset of the phone.  I am using the hotspot feature to reply to this in fact.  Analyzing everything I believe my problem had more to do with installing a SanDisk wireless flashdrive.  I had nothing but problems with it and never really got it work as it was intended to and I believe it was coincidental that the 5.1 update and the SanDisk flashdrive was happening all at about the same time.
