FoxFi from the play store, makes your phone a wifi hotspot then you tether to it.

Been using it for years now...no problem.

It will also help to have the model of your smartphone. S5 isn't specific enough.

I've used both FoxFi and WiFi Tether for years. No complaints.

I am using a Galaxy S3 every single day to upload from the field using a Galaxy 10.1 tablet.  I just turn on the tethering in the settings and it works perfectly.  I'm not running an app for it.
