I FINALLY FOUND A WORKAROUND!!! if you download a hotspot app off google play turn it on then turn hotspot on in system settings it works What app in particular did you use? Also how long were you able to leave your hotspot on for? Reason I ask the latter is because I'll have times where the hotspot will stay on for nearly an hour before it shuts itself off.
So I recently received the A14 update (which I didn't realize I had until I had an app tell me it was made for an older version of Android... Thought it was just a security update). So far, the issue with the option to disable hotspot when no activity seems to no longer revert back to 10 minutes. As for the issue with the hotspot shutting itself off, so far it looks like it's staying on so long as something is connected to it, but I've only tested it for about 30 minutes, so I'll have to do some more testing this weekend since I'm laid over until Monday. EDIT: Not even 10 minutes after I posted this, it shut itself off again, so nope, the Android 14 update did not fix it, unfortunately.
I got the update not too long ago, probably a week or so ago.
Apologies in advance for necroing a relatively inactive post, but thought I would mention that I also am having the same issue with the hotspot randomly shutting off on my Revvl 6X Pro 5G. I have tried changing all the settings I could find as it relates to battery saving features to off but to no avail. Also, as VJDunn mentioned, the shut off after x minutes of activity reverts back to 10 minutes the second you back out of that screen. It's aggravating when you're playing an online game on Xbox and your connection drops. I'm an over the road truck driver so I tend to rely on using phone hotspot for my gaming when I don't have access to other Wi-Fi. I guess I'm the meantime until they push an update to fix the issue I'll just use my tablet's hotspot
