AT&T blocked their Hotspot feature.. So that will never work for you.... You can use a third party app to use the Hotspot feature.... Or root your phone and install a Custom ROM.... You can root easily using Towel root apk
I'll b glad if u can put me thru d rooting procedures and suggest d best custom ROM to install
thanx bro

You should use the PC method then.... Requires you to download the CF Autoroot file of your particular phone model and flash via Odin with your PC ✔

@abiolag @nani667 concerning the hotspot issue on the AT&T branded Note 2, it can actually be enabled provided the phone is rooted. Download an app called SQlite editor, try searching on google concerning d issue, make sure u include SQlite and ur phones model in the search query something like this "samsung+galaxy+note+2+AT&T+hotspot+sqlite+editing" something should surely come up.
The whole thing just involves editing a paticular string. If u can find a useful page it should be straight forward.

@abiolag this is for you! Using the app SQLite Editor by Speed Software you can use these quick steps to enable tethering.
1) Under SQLite Editor find the app "Settings Storage (com.android.prodivers.settings)"
2) Hit "settings.db"
3) Hit "system"
4) Search for the term "tether" in all fields
5) Set the vale of "tether_entitlement_check_state" to 0 6) Enjoy your ability to set up a mobile hotspot!
DISCLAIMER: The steps worked for my LG G2 AT&T on stock 4.4.2 ROM, can't say dsame for your Note 2.
Just give it a try.

As for me during my note 2 days i actually flashed a custom TouchWiz based ROM(ditto Note 3 ROM) i recommend this if u don't have any issues wif TouchWiz. I guess dia latest build should be based on Note 4. Search for dia thread on XDA forum using Google.
I think TWRP recovery is the best (my opinion sha).
Re: Samsung Confirm Android 5.0 Lollipop Update For Galaxy Note II by scotweezy(m): 4:37pm On Feb 16, 2015
U will still need d SQlite editor 2 activate d hotspot.

It's probably an issue with the update... I've faced an issue like that with a custom ROM I flashed on my phone sometime ago.... Hmmm...

If you try to send messages to short codes, they don't go.... I guess you can do what I did, the particular messages you try to send to those codes you mentioned above have their respective codes you can dial from the dial pad... Just get the code and dial it from your dial pad and you'll get the response you need ✔

Or you can try reflashing another OS ✔

PS.. If you have Telegram Messenger app installed on your device you can send your number and I'll add you to a Samsung Group we got going on there... There you can get all the help you need when you need them

Download the app 'tether it' . It does not require root and works. You can even use it to share your vpn connection.
