Entitlement

Motorola's hotspot entitlement check, which asks your carrier whether your plan allows tethering. You can disable it, with a caveat: read what stops working first.

What it does

Entitlement runs the check some carriers require before Wi-Fi hotspot or tethering switches on, confirming with the carrier that your plan includes it. Community lists tie it to hotspot and tethering on Moto phones. It runs when you turn on the hotspot.

If you disable it

On carriers that require the check, the hotspot may fail to turn on or turn off again. On others nothing changes.

How to disable it

On most phones Settings greys out Disable for this package, so ADB is the way to turn it off. The commands below work without root and can be undone.

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.motorola.entitlement

adb shell pm enable com.motorola.entitlement

The stronger option removes it for your user only; the original copy stays on the phone and a factory reset brings it back. Prefer disabling: it is easier to undo.

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.motorola.entitlement

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.motorola.entitlement

New to ADB? Set it up in about ten minutes.

Data and battery

Sends a tethering check with your line details to your carrier when you start the hotspot.
