Hotspot not working - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to connect my laptops, chromebook and windows 8 laptop, to my galaxy s5 hotspot but it won't connect. For the chromebook, i get DHCP lookup failed. For the win 8 laptop, it has limited connection but no internet access. Any help?

Restart both devices.

Okay. I restarted all devices but it still won't work. I get limited connection with no internet access. When I am connected, the device doesn't show up on the phone, instead, "Connected Device" is collapsed on the phone.
I'm on NK4 build, stock rooted.

Okay. I finally did factory data reset and it kept my root. It's now working. What's weird though is that I now have a section call tethering that was not there before. Anyone know what happened? I am still on 4.4.4.

Wireless internet works: usb tethering/hotspot does not

So I've rooted my phone and got it working with ClearDroid ROM. Cellular internet works fine from the phone itself, but if I try to use the USB tethering feature on my laptop, I get nothing.
The laptop sees the network device, sees that it is connected, and Windows 7 says I have Internet Access. But trying to actually do anything on the Internet fails.
What can I look at?
Note that I am in the Philippines, if that makes any difference.

[BUG] Phone and Laptop on same wifi. Still says remote connection mode.

I have tried everything I could. Even turned off my firewall and accepted all incoming connections but nothing. The app refuses to acknowledge that it is on the same wifi and it always defaults to remote connection mode.
I have:
- An LG nexus 4, android 5.1
- Asus U576E running ubuntu. I'm using web.airdoid.com to connect
Please help!
Same here, just installed this app and am trying it out. I can't transfer files locally, if I have to upload and then download files I may as well use any cloud based service. I read that some are saying a new update broke the local connections.

Sharing internet connection with android if Win10 Laptop is unable to create hotspot

Hello,
This may sound weird but I'm sure I'm not the only one facing this problem. I don't want to invest on a wifi router just yet. It was pretty easy to share my laptop's internet connection with my phone when I was on Windows 7. But ever since I upgraded to Windows 10, some of my device drivers are messed up. I've tried installing multiple drivers (one at a time of course) to get my laptop to create a WiFi hotspot. Haven't succeeded yet.
But what I can do is connect my laptop to other WiFi networks.
I wonder if there is a way in which I can share my broadband connection from my laptop to my phone. Can the Android community help?

Phone connected to WiFi but not IP being pushed and Internet not working

Hello XDA Members,
I am having a mysterious issue that has been very annoying. I have an EVO Wingle Wifi Device for Internet from PTCL in Pakistan.
It was working fine a couple days ago, my phone used to connect find to the wifi of the device and I was able to use internet on the phone, but all of a sudden one day, something went wrong.
Now the issue is that:
1. The phone can connect to the wifi, and it says "connected" but the device is not pushing the phone an IP anymore, it says "::1" in that place, and also the internet is not working on the phone.
2. On the devices stats page, I can see all other devices connected to the device, but not the phone. The wifi limit is 5, and I only usually have my laptop connected with it.
3. I also have tried to use a static IP on the phone like 192.168.1.128 and manually set it on the phone, and the phone still connects to the wifi, and it shows the IP, but still the internet doesn't work and the device doesn't register the phone in it's stats.
4. All other devices can connected and work fine with the wifi, with the internet working on all of them.
5. The phone works with any other wifi connection fine, just not with this device.
I have tried to:
1. Factory Reset my device, it didn't solve the issue.
2. Forget WiFi many times on phone, used different passwords, clear settings, etc.
3. Reset the phone, whitelisting phones MAC address on the device.
4. Used wifi fix apps from google play without any results.
But nothing seems to be fixing the issue.
Now I am at loss, I don't know what to do anymore, can anyone help?
Device: 9.1 Evo Wingle WiFi Device, PTCL.
Phone: Samsung S3 Verizon - Running KitKat 4.4 with CustomROM (SUPERLIGHTROM V5) with Safestrap, and rooted phone.

No device can connect to WiFi tethered by my Honor 6

Hi!
For some reason my WiFi tether just stopped from working on my honor 6 and I've been unable to find why
I can turn on the tethering but as the title says no device is able to connect to it. For example windows 10 just says "Can't connect to this network" and other android devices just
say "saved" and don't connect. I have only tried to change the change the SSID to a different one and have tried to tether with or without password as I really don't know what else to do.
Thanks for the help!
