[Q] Tethering stopped working - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since the FW update to A.5.77 I can't tether any more.
The devices connect to the phone alright, but no data is coming through.
Has anyone else the same problem and/or found a solution? I had the internet settings re-sent, and restarted. No difference.

Post your APN info, I've had this, and solved it.

Wifi problems after Interop unlock/Tethering

I have a Samsung Focus v1.3 and it is dev unlocked. I decided to do the interop unlock/tethering hack and now I have problems with my wifi. The hack worked fine. I can connect to my network via wifi and get on the internet. It works for a few minutes but seems to just stop and not work after a few minutes or after my phone locks up. I can turn wifi off and on again and it works, but only temporarily. I have to use 3g now all the time and it is not an issue cause I have unlimited data but it's not as fast as my home network. I am wondering if anyone else has noticed this or if there is a setting that needs to be adjusted after I installed it. I also installed the advanced config tool but did not change any of the setting except to tell me when I have 3g+. I can change that back but the problem still exists. Any help would be appreciated, and thanks in advance. I can give more detailed information about my setup if needed.
i had a similiar issue on my hd7 after the last update that was released by htc. exact same issue with wifi. I ended up resetting to factory defaults and reload my apps/emails on and all is good . no more problems. you may wanna try doing that

[Q] Wi-Fi connectivity issues

Hey guys,
I'm having some issues with my Wi-Fi connectivity on my N5 and it's freaking me out! :crying:
When I'm trying to connect to my home network, the Wi-Fi icon is getting orange after some random time.
Some times it gets back to white, some times it's not.
I know its a known issue but nothing seems to fix it.
I tried everything - reboot my phone, reboot my router, reboot into safe mode, forget the network and connect again, toggle into airplane mode and back, change Wi-Fi settings to connect only to 2.4 GHz, avoid poor connections, update my router firmware.
NOTHING worked!
The only thing I haven't tried yet is factory reset but I read some people saying it didn't help them either.
Only turning Wi-Fi off and than on again makes it "white" again for some other random time.
I'm running stock everything on a rooted device with Android 4.4.4 build KTU84P.
My Wi-Fi is working great with other devices in the network including a Nexus 7 2012 and some laptops.
And it seems that my Nexus 5 is connecting fine to other Wi-Fi networks.
It worked fine in the past and I think it all went wrong when I replaced my Modem.
Any ideas what else can I try?
Do you think maybe the Lollipop update will fix this annoying issue?
Thanks!
Forgot to mention (I guess it is obvious) - I can't connect to any website or run any network connected app when I'm "orange" (I know it means I'm not connected to google services).
Tried also to change my Wi-Fi channel. still not working.
Doesn't anyone have an idea what is wrong here?
This is really frustrating ... :crying:
Well, I'm kind of talking to myself here, but in case someone else is facing this annoying issue, here is what fixed it for me eventually:
Configure a static IP to my phone in the router configurations ! :victory:
Before that, I also tried to disable Wi-Fi optimization in the phone Wi-Fi settings, buy it didn't seem to help.

[Q] Original 4.1.2 wifi connection issues

As the title says I am currently experiencing issues on my stock JB 4.1.2 SII skyrocket, the phone is rooted but everything else is stock.
The issue I am having is that when trying to connect to wifi outside of my home the phone will not connect even though the signal is strong enough in the wifi menu, keeps saying disabled or authentication error. these are hotspots provided by TWC and have no password associated. They only require you to connect and log in on the site with your information from your cable provider. Thing is the phone will not connect no matter what I have tried. I've read around and seen that this is or was an Issue with 4.1.2 in general but i was wondering if anyone can please take the time to help me out? I Looked around the forums for other people with a similar issue but have found nothing, so I apologize if this has been answered before. Thank you for your time and help

WiFi Issues

Hello, I have been having issues connecting to WiFi for the last month or so and was wondering if anyone else has had this issue and knows how to fix it.
For whatever reason my phone is now unable to find any WiFi networks while scanning. I downloaded a wifi manager from the app store and was able to see the available networks from there and manually add them on my phone, but even that has stopped working this past week.
Possible relevant information:
I am rooted running the Revolution ROM for Verizon. I use App Ops and Greenify, I initially thought I may have messed something up while messing with settings in App Ops, but I deleted it and the issue still occurs.
I am pretty sure this is not related, but around the same time I started having these wifi issues I stopped being able to play back videos I have recorded on my phone. As soon as I hit the play button I get an error stating "playback failed". This is still an issue as well.
Anyone have any thoughts or ideas what could cause this?
Oden back to stock.

Mobile network internet access stopped working

Yesterday was like any other day, I took the bus to work and enabled mobile hotspot on my Oneplus 6 so I could do some work. On my way home in the afternoon, I did the same thing. This time however, I had exclemation marks on the mobile network symbol in the statusbar. Tried enabling hotspot anyway but there was network. Rebooted the phone but still the same issue. Oh well, I thought it was just my carrier then. When I came home to my wifi, I checked my carriers status information on their websites and there was no disturbances. Then I restored a backup which failed and I had to reflash the phone entirely with the latest pie zip. Today, I still don't have any network on my sims. I use two sims but they are using the same carrier. I also asked around my friends which has the same carrier and they have network...
I would understand if something might have happened when I reflashed the phone last night but that does not explain the sudden malfunction of the network on my bus ride home, the phone had worked flawlessly for a whole week.
This thread seem to be about the same thing and I tried the solutions regarding clearing caches and settings but it did not work:
https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...ot-working-but-network-bars-are-there.844978/
Could it be something with the IMEI number? But it doesn't explain why it stopped working out of the blue. I can see both my IMEI numbers in the settings and I have also tried install Magisk 17.2 beta as suggested by another user. I think I still have a backup of the modem on my pc. However this is from when the network still worked and then suddenly stopped working.
TLDR: I have full reception, Calls and SMS work, there is just no Internet connection.
Just to be sure, datasave is turned off?

Yep, that is off. I have also reset my APN setting and double checked them with my provider, it didn't help.
No hotspot
I'm having a similar issue, I updated to android p stable and since then I can't use hotspot. It turns on fine and says devices connected but internet doesn't work on the connected devices. This seems to be an issue with Android P because my gf also has the op6 and I tried hotspot on hers before updating and it worked fine, then updated and it stopped working for her too. I have also tried clearing cache and manually entering the APN. I need to be able to tether to my laptop and tablet for work so anyone solution to this problem would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Although the problem I decribed in this thread isn't the hotspot problem, it was caused by my carrier. But I also have issues with hotspot, my laptop has trouble finding the wifi from the phone.
