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.

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...

Hi
My Sensation is having problems with the WIFI in my home. When I visit other people and use their WIFI I dont experience the same issues, which leads me to believe that it is an issue with my router.
The problem is that I have to turn the wireless off and on again on the phone a few times a day, because it suddenly doesnt work. When it happens the phone shows full WIFI bars and tells me that it is connected, but it doesnt work. But after turning it off and on, it always works again.
I have tried changing the channel to 11 in the router but that hasnt helped. Is there a solution to this very annoying issue?

Besides obviously getting another router, have you tried removing the wifi connection from your list, reboot and then adding the wifi back on like a new connection? Besides not knowing your current setup (what rom you are on, if any) and when you select menu to bring up the advanced menu, is the 'avoid poor connections selected' or available as an option? Also is there a wi-fi frequency band option? If so make sure you have auto ticked off.

Im on stock 4.03.
I have now tried your suggestions. Removed the wifi connection, rebooted and reconnected. I will let you know how that turned out.
I dont have any of the options in the wifi menu that you mention, however I do have the option of using a static IP, would that maybe help?
I still have that issue when on ICS 4.0.3/4 Sense 4. But not Sense 3.5/6 and Jellybean. I put out a logcat but they told me to use WiFIX but that never did me anything. They also told my my security on my router WPA/WPA2 is not supported well in Sense 4 or something. I'm just patiently waiting for someone to help me with that same problem so I can try ICS stock and Sense 4.

maybe changing the security on the router would be worth a try... nothing seems to help so far

Any change? As for the static IP, I wouldn't mess with it unless you know what you are doing in that respect.

It still doesnt work...
My new idea is that it could be something to do with the router. According to some threads ive across the phone doesnt like wireless n networks and wpa/wpa2 security. I think my router is setup with those two things. I guess I will try changing that. If that doesnt help maybe setting up a static IP would be worth a try

I would change my security but I have about 10+ devices connected in the household and once you change it they don't reconnect; you have to re-enter the password and everything. The downside in my household at the moment. But as for the StaticIP. I wouldn't mind doing that to be honest. Let me know how these two options work out for you because I might make a change to my router settings if one of these works out.
I had the same problem after upgrading to ICS. It seems that even if you have set your ip to static it still wont connect to the internet. This is because there is no option to change the subnet mask address from the usual static ip config. Try installing any DNS setting tool to your phone and check the setting on your ip again. Hope this helps.
Hi:
I recently moved an unlocked phone to a new carrier (Virgin Mobile, Canada).
The WiFi hotspot connects fine to other (Win7/Win8) machines, but no data gets through.
USB tethering works as it should as do all the on phone internet data functions I have tried.
I have looked at all the setting I can find values for in the APN menu, thanks to another poster in this forum) but all seem correct. The hotspot setup itself has not changed from the, previously, working one.
Tech support at both the carrier and the phone manufacturer are not able to help and now are pointing to the other side so I am on my own at this point.
Any ideas?

That is the problem in android. Somethings "something" will change, causing it to malfunction. I have seen a loot of those problems, even in real life and here on xda. I recomend if you have custom recovery to do a full wipe, and if you are willing to, install a custom rom.
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.

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.

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.

How do I get 5ghz tethering to work?
If I don't check the "use 5ghz" the hot-spot shows up and connects perfectly, but if I choose 5ghz the hot-spot doesn't show on any devices. It must be something on the note 10 side as it has worked in the past with other phones as the hot-spot on 5ghz.
Any ideas?
wait... how to setup 5ghz wifi ? i dont see the option
Does the device you're trying to connect support 5GHz? That's the only way to see networks broadcasted with it. On my other phone the N10+ shows up under WiFi in the screenshot.
I suppose you can try "reset" settings and network. Maybe try testing hotspot with a different name. Also toggle "hide my device" a few times. One other thing, arw you using the Exynos model? Mine is SD, so perhaps the issue could be chip related.

Looks like you may be right, the WiFi dingle I was using shows that it's 5ghz compatible, but doesn't show the Note 10 + hotspot. But tried to connect my missus' note 8 to the hotspot and it works. So must be the pc rather than the phone.
I have the exynos model too.

Hi guys I'm having the same issue here but mine is S10, from Malaysia Telco is Maxis...
Wondering it's due to Telco or baseband firmware, mine unlocked unit some more...
Having the same problem on mine, also in Australia. Anyone found a work around, or do we need to flash a different firmware?

Mine has the 5MGZ.
