May I ask how you got the hotspot, I only need it periodically

Here's one of the postings about tethering for the Warp2.

You might find your answer in this one or in another, there's been pretty good coverage on the topic.

I use tether for my desktop exclusively now, when, way back in the early day's didn't need it.

I find WiFi Tether works well, (I've tried the others).
Here's the settings to set (in the app, just check to select):

Generic - ics/jb (wiano) ...that's back in j.b. (jelly bean) of course
setup - auto
ssid - android tether
don't disable blue tooth
wifi driver reload
routing fix

In the phone/settings/wireless and networks:
wifi off
settings/ more/ mobile networks/data enabled
always on mobile data
connection optimizer off

that will get you the hotspot ability from the phone's side, using wifi tether, (may be the same settings on other apps).

Good luck.
