Has there been a fix for this? My mobile hotspot will turn on and then off again immediately after being turned on. This has only started happening since Pie was installed. I've seen other people with the issue but haven't seen a fix yet.
So I got it working... anyone else having this same problem you will want to make sure "tethering entitlement" isn't frozen or uninstalled. It was frozen/disabled from the day I bought the phone new I never did it but as soon as I enabled it the hotspot worked.

Hi all. I have a weird issue that after Googling it doesn't seem anyone else has had.
The issue started earlier today, in the morning. I was using my phone on the WiFi and it was working phone, then my phone crashed, restarted itself.
I noticed it wasn't connected to the WiFi, went to the WiFi settings and where it usually says the list of networks it said "Turning on WiFi" and the slider at the top was greyed out so I couldn't turn it off.
I tried airplane mode and that didn't help. But the phone was working fine on my mobile data so restarted.
Now the weirder part starts. I basically have an issue where, if I turn on the WiFi, my phone crashes, or doesn't act like it's turning the WiFi on.
Even going Settings and then pressing on the WiFi option freezes the phone.
The problem started when I was still using 4.4.4 however since the problem developed I've used my mobile data to download the updates and now have 5.1.1 I think.
The problem persists even after updating to the most recent version and doing a factory restore. The phone is currently completely stock with nothing downloaded on to it. All I did is go through the first time setup for the device.
The WiFi currently is off, and the phone is working however it won't connect to my data, it has the signal bars and then an ! instead of a 4G icon.
If I try to turn the WiFi on it crashes the phone.
The phone is still under warranty so I plan on contacting LG on Monday however it's currently 3:34 AM on a Sunday so I have a day until I can call them and was hoping for a solution in that time.
Thanks in advance. I have the phone to hand so anything you want me to test I'm able to.
There is some information I didn't type as I don't know what is important was trying to avoid a wall of text so if you have any more questions I'll answer I best I can.
Thanks for reading, I hope you can help!
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.
Hey Guys,
I have been facing this issue ever since I started using mobile hotspot on 7.1.1.
It gets disconnected after some time (may be 15 minutes). When I check my phone , it shows as disabled. I have to then reenable it to use it.
Has anyone faced this issue ? I contact google support and they asked me to do Factory Reset. So, I wanted to see if anyone has some solution other than reset.
Okay, so first of all, I'm not sure if this is the right forum. But this applies to a couple of forums.
For a while I used this little trick for activating my mobile hotspot on att g955u (the s8+) using the "connect to a faulty wifi and turn on mobile hotspot" and I would always ignore updating my phone from the OTA because I didn't want anything to change from the original stock bought phone. But a few days ago my phone decided to turn off and update itself. So I turned on dev options and the auto update was on. Turned it off problem solved. So I thought. At the time the mobile hotspot hadn't been affected but I woke up today turned my phone on and it automatically started updating again. But this time it had updated and changed something in my phone that has affected my ability to turn on my hotspot. And I've gone through and tried to figure out which service is affecting it but I can't seem to find anything new. And basically my question is, is there any way to get my phone back to the way it was when i originally bought it? Firmware, security, and everything that could have been changed with those two updates. Or is there another way to find out which services affect my hotspot so I can disable/enable accordingly. I used my mobile hotspot to play multiplayer on my ps4. Kind of pissed me off that my phone updates itself without consent.
Hi guys,
I was just wondering if anyone else had this issue? basically if I use wi-fi and then turn it off, my phone connects back to 4g but I cannot load anything using internet, I have tried toggling mobile internet on/off, airplane mode etc.. only thing that works is restarting the phone!
anyone know if there's a fix or if this is a well known bug?
Thanks!
Has anyone else experienced this or able to help? It's still happening after updating to 5.1.6.
I've tried swapping the SIM card from slot 1. To 2 but still happens! I've tried toggling airplane mode, toggling mobile internet... Nothing works apart from restarting phone!!
I'm still on 5.1.5, but I have gotten this glitch once.
**SOLVED**
Okay so after hours of trying to work out what it was, turns out it was my "Block this" VPN adblock that was causing the issue. Once I disabled this I could switch between WiFi/mobile no problem!
I advise anyone else experiencing this to check their VPN ?
