Porque No Puedo Compartir Internet Desde Mi Celular Samsung

My Samsung phone! I love it. Except when I try to share its internet. Then, not so much.
The Great Mobile Hotspot Mystery
Why can't I share my glorious, paid-for data with my needy laptop? It's a question that plagues the modern age. I swear, sometimes I think my phone is just being spiteful.
Is it Me? Is it You, Samsung?
Am I doing something wrong? Probably. But I'm going to blame Samsung anyway. It's more fun that way.
Must Read
Okay, okay, deep breaths. Maybe it is me. But the settings menus are a labyrinth! A digital Minotaur guards the hotspot settings, I'm convinced.
I've tapped everything. Swiped everything. Restarted the phone so many times it probably thinks I hate it. Still nothing. Just a spinning wheel of internet doom.
The "Data Saver" Villain
Ah, Data Saver. That sneaky little feature that promises to save me from exorbitant charges. But at what cost? Apparently, the cost is my sanity.

It's always Data Saver. I forget it's on. Then I'm yelling at my phone for not working. Fun times.
Password Problems: A Personal Hell
The password. Oh, the password. It's always too short. Or too long. Or contains forbidden characters only known to the ancient internet gods.
Why can't I just have a simple "12345" password? I'm not protecting state secrets, I just want to watch cat videos on my tablet!

The Unpopular Opinion: Sharing is Overrated?
Here's my truly unpopular opinion: maybe sharing internet from your phone is overrated. Fight me.
Hear me out! It drains the battery faster than a vampire at a blood bank. It makes my phone run hotter than the surface of the sun. And then I get a notification saying I've used all my data. NO THANK YOU.
Is it worth the hassle? Honestly? Sometimes I think it's easier to just tether myself to the nearest coffee shop Wi-Fi and risk being judged for ordering another sugary latte.
Is My Carrier Blocking Me? The Conspiracy Theories Abound!
Of course, there's always the possibility that my mobile carrier is actively sabotaging my attempts at internet freedom. I wouldn't put it past them.

Are they throttling my hotspot speeds? Limiting the amount of data I can share? Are they reading my texts? The paranoia sets in.
They just want me to buy a separate hotspot device!
It's a conspiracy, I tell you! A conspiracy to separate me from my money! (Okay, maybe I'm being dramatic.)

The Eternal Struggle
So, here I sit. Still unable to consistently share my internet from my Samsung phone. It's a first-world problem, I know.
But it's my first-world problem. And I'm going to complain about it. Because that's what we do, right?
Maybe one day, the process will be seamless. Maybe one day, I won't have to spend 20 minutes troubleshooting a simple task. But until then, I'll just keep restarting my phone and blaming Samsung.
And maybe, just maybe, I'll consider that sugary latte.
