I wanted to post this in the correct forum ( Android Dev) but it wont let me so Ill post here hoping it can be moved or will be ok here. Ok so here it is (drum roll).......LG G3 VS985 Hotspot hack. I do not take responsibility for doing this I simply tried it on my device and it worked. :good:

anyone else I did not happen to mention.
Download the file, backup and remove* HotspotProvision.apk and HotspotProvision.odex from /system/app/ And then drag in this copy of the apk**. Put it's permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot.
The only caviat to this way is that every time you enable the hotspot you must change the password so it will enable (I Don't know Why). I had this happen on my G2 also so I am not sure if its me or that's how it goes. But hey it WORKS!:laugh:
*People have said that you can rename the app if you want. I copied the files and put them in downloads then deleted them in the sys/app section. When you move them back to sys/app go in app manager and clear data/cache for the hotspot so it will load correctly. This is what I did and it worked great.
**To drag and drop I used Root browser

HotSpot APK Download
Root using IOroot here
Edit: This was tested on Verizon as that is the only device I have. Not sure it this would work on other carriers.
I will end this by a great quote from Abraham Lincoln:
