Help The Note 3 mobile hotspot does not show on nearby devices

The Samsung Note 3 Mobile Hotspot does not show up on any nearby devices, even when it's turned on. This is not because of exhaustion of data limits, because I have not used the hotspot at all within the last month (I'm on a Verizon data plan), so clearly something in the phone is preventing the signal from being read.

I have a feeling that developer mode may be the cause of the issue, but my dad did report that developer mode did not stop the hotspot on his phone from working properly. However, he has a much newer Samsung phone (Note 8 I think). I have yet to test this theory however.

Are there any other potential causes and solutions that I should consider?
