I was browsing through the turbo 2 section over at xda and this was posted there. I tried it and can't ever really get wifi tether to work, but it does work for bluetooth tether for me. Not trying to start a tethering debate. Just passing along some info for those that are interested.
Step By Step:
1. Pop out SIM just enough to have tray eject
2. Reinsert & unlock phone
3. Pull down notification drawer, pull down again to get to the quick settings tiles
4. Wait until the Sim card icon changes to the completely empty signal bars icon
5. Hit the hotspot button
All in all the process should take about 10-15 seconds from ejecting the sim till 4 g service comes back. The important part is step 4.
I actually had to open settings>wireless networks more>Tether and Mobile Hotspot>then toggle on either wifi or bluetooth. You have to do this all before the sim card icon shows signal. Pain in the butt I know. I just wanted to pass it along.
Hopefully this helps!
