Hotspot not toggling on newer Pixel devices? #54

Hi, this is something of a replay of issue #13... I have a Pixel Watch #2 and Pixel8a and Pixel Fold phones. Everything that I'm interested in (DND, Lock, sound, brightness, Apps) as well as some things that I'm not (Flashlight, calls, media) works great with the exception of toggling the hotspot. I tend to think that the problem is with the newer Pixel phones, rather than the watch, but since I my only watch is the Pixel my only evidence of this is several reports of other watches also having the hotspot toggle problem with Pixel7 and later phones. In fact, I don't believe I've seen a report of the hotspot working with one of the phones, regardless of the smartwatch (would love to hear of evidence to the contrary...) I have enabled Modify System Settings and even set WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS with adb (although it seems like that shouldn't be necessary for the hotspot?), but still not working. The watch will show the current status of the hotspot (enabled/disabled) when refreshed, just won't toggle it. My phones are not rooted and I'm not using the wear-settings app since it didn't seem to be required for the hotspot functionality(?) I've spent a fair amount of time looking at adb logs and there is an BT error that looks suspicious, but I'm not sure what it indicates. I think your app is great! It does things that Google should be making available to Pixel users!! Please let me know if you'd like me to send log info. Thanks for your work. --dave
