It seems that I have to toggle the flight mode most every time I want to use it. Will update if I find a way to password protect it.

The hotspot does work now, however, it does not start up consistently. IE seems to need a few toggle cycles to get it to start up. Just wondering, is this a Ubuntu Touch thing or a 5 year old Nexus 4 thing?
Also, is there a way to add a password to the hotspot?

Hi @3arn0wl,
thanks for getting back to me, it appears to be all good now.
The hotspot toggle switch appeared approximately 3 hours after network activation.
I did run the first two commands from

They seemed to fail, but perhaps a delayed effect?

So, I just got my Nexus 4 up and running, but there seems to be no option for a wireless tether.
I have a good data connection with my network. Any help is much appreciated.
