Mate 9 Hotspot issue - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

I notice that when I turn on the hotspot feature on the Mate 9, other devices connected to the Mate 9 can access internet, but the Mate 9 itself can no longer connect to the Internet at all. Can anyone else confirm if this is only me or a software glitch? Thanks.
I was running on C636B100 and upgrade to B136 and the problem still exist.
Thanks!

This is the way it works apparently.

I haven't tried it yet but you should be able to connect to the internet on 4G /3G. The WiFi cannot connect to your WiFi server while acting as a hotspot.
That's how it works on other phones anyway - I'd expect the Mate to be the same.

I understand the phone will turn the wifi off and use the wifi antenna to host the hotspot, but the Mate 9 should still be able to access the internet via mobile data, right?
I've used other Androids before and my whatsapp, facebook and chrome will continue to work even when I turn on hotspot (via mobile data). When I turn on hotspot on the Mate 9, the phone iteslf stops all Internet access but clients connected to the hotspot can access internet via mobile data (from Mate 9) without problem.

Yes, as I said in post #3. Are you saying yours doesn't do it?

It's working fine here,try a factory reset.

Maybe it's your carrier? But it definitely should work...

Yup, no internet when I turn on hotspot (even when mobile data is on).
I guess I'll have to try and reset when I have a chance.

Just tested it on mine, on EE/BT in the UK and it works fine. Also works using bluetooth tethering. Both to a Samsung Tab S2.

I figured out what the issue is. My carrier have a tethering APN which seems to be causing the problem. Once I delete the tethering APN entry, I can access Internet while I have hotspot turn on.

How you delete it. When I deleted my APN I can not save the changes.

So, did this issue result from your carrier, other than mate 9 itself?

How do you delete the APN? I am using Mate 10 and I'm having the same issue
Thanks

Did you get a solution to this? My new Mate 10 is doing the same thing. Hotspot works. Laptop gets data, but all mobile data stops on phone. So Whatsapp stops if my hotspot is on..

I had the issue, adding DUN to APN Type on the APN SETTINGS fixed the issue.
Hope it helps.

[Q]nexus 5 cant find wifi

Hey guys!
So I have a problem with my nexus 5.
Lately it seems as if it does not find "new" wifi connections... It connects to the one it already has saved.
If I click scan no wifi networks appear even though there are many(my pc and other phones get good signal)
I also get the notification saying "There are networks available" but when i touch it no networks appear...
Any ideas?
Cheers!
EDIT: I just tried adding the SSID and it connected fine and works great.... So the problem is the actual scanning...

You say that it happens "lately". So it worked previously? Anything change right before the problem arose? What is your phone's configuration, i.e., ROM, kernel, Xposed, runtime, etc. Have you rebooted the router? (I know, your other devices see all networks, but, what works for one may not for another)

I would suggest that the router you are connecting to is set to not broadcast the SId - simple (but not too effective) security measure.

Same problem here! I got my N5 yesterday and wifi was perfectly connecting to my router. The I unlocked the bootloader and root by using WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit and phone is not detecting anymore my wifi network. Phone wifi works since I see the others wifi around but not mine!:crying::crying:
I did the following but problem still present:
- powered off the router
- changed SSID on router setup
- removed security on router setup
- add manually the wifi into Nexus 5
I have no clue on what I can do more....pls help!
EDIT: solved: I noticed my router was set on specific channels for wifi, then I modified to AUTO
If i remember correctly, Nexus 5 version 4.4 had issues connecting to WIFI channel greater than 10.
I had this issue also.

6.0 and Nexus 5 no data connection

After running the update, while connected to my data and wi-fi my nexus tells me there is no data connection, how do I fix this?

look in settings-more-mobile networks---APNs
if its empty or is your apn from your carrier
It's my network APN, what do I do.
Dunno if it's exactly the same issue that I'm having, but every time I get this I have to restart my phone in order to get the data working.

If your Nexus 5 has a SIM, power off the device off remove the SIM re-enter and reboot. That fixed it for me.

G955FD Hotspot not working

Anyone else having issues with hotspot not supplying internet to other devices. I've installed a custom rom just to see if the issue resolved, but it's still the same.
No problems on my G955FD

When you say not supplying internet to other devices, do you mean the hotspot doesn't show up at all on other devices, or it just doesn't work?

I am connected to the wifi hotspot with my Mi Mix and my 6P, but there is no internet connection. I was able to transfer files and I even tried a static ip.

You sure your operator allows WiFi hotspots/tethering?
Do you have a carrier branded ROM or a generic one?

Generic. I bought it unlocked.
They dont block here. It worked for awhile when I got the phone. Then it stopped working.

Go back to the Configure Mobile Hotspot window, type a random SSID (not AndroidAP), make sure the security is WPA2-PSK and try broadcasting with both 2.4 and 5GHz radios.
Let me know if it works.
Already tried that too. What I did notice was that the 5ghz option i see mentioned on a few forums, is missing. It only allows 2.4ghz.

Was missing for me a few weeks back and now suddenly it's appeared.
Hotspotnot working because of allowed devices
Hi, I had the same issue- devices would see my S8+ wifi hotspot, connect to it and disconnect- very frustrating... then after various attempts I noticed in the configure hotspot menu (the 3 vertical dots in the upper right corner) "allowed devices", went there, saw it was on, but without any allowed devices. Turned "Allowed devices only" off, now all works.
I swear I never went in that menu before, so it was set this way by default...

Wifi: Denied access to network. Honor 8

Hey!
I can connect to all wifi networks except one. Please help me out. It's the second most used wifi network for me.

That's may be a wifi router issue..
I agree with Hassan. Restart your router and restart your phone too. If it doesn't work have a look into your router's Wireless LAN encryption settings and make sure that it's set to "WPA/WPA2" and not something fancy.
If this doesn't work either you could try resetting the router.

Restart phone, restart router, change channels. If all else fails, call your ISP.

Its a school router. But theres one network and its separated throughout many routers so the channels may be the problem. Do you think that a system update caused this problem?? Because it all happened after it.

Well thank you anyway... I'll reply if something will happen in the future
Try this, turn off WiFi and data and then on airplane mode. While airplane mode is on turn on WiFi and try to connect. If by some chance you do connect, don't forget to disable airplane if you won't get any calls. It sounds screwy but it has worked.

Nah didnt work
I was able to fix the problem on an Honor 7X by decreasing the security of the router to WEP64 encryption. This allowed the device to connect without any issues. Perhaps this phone has a similar WiFi chip that requires the weaker encryption.
iam also in same trouble.
hi dear, now iam also in that same trouble. i can't connect my mobile with my office wifi. but all other people can connect. also i can connect with all other wifi.
my phone is honor 6x. is you fix your problem? if yes, how? please share me. thank you.

I only tried a hotspot with another phone and worked, but haven't tried with a router, and bluetooth only works a couple a centimeters if I move like a meter it's disconnects
