re: Anyone experienced with 4G/LTE modems? Comparing the man page and eBay I found a used Huawei 156g for $10 right off the bat. This could be fun. Need to make a spreadsheet or something of specs.
The phone I'm using now is a Motorola Moto-e2 and the wifi hotspot seems to work sometimes. Some Androids turn off WiFi when they sleep. Some are low powered to try to improve the battery life. And I mostly hate Android 5.
