When I switch on the Hotspot option in settings my WiFi de-activates automatically. If I then re-enable my WiFi the Hotspot turns off. Am i missing something? It doesn't make sense. I am on the new B10 firmware standard build. No root.
Has anyone else come across this problem.?
I've not tried a factory reset yet!
What do you think you are missing? Pretty sure that's how it works.

As above, that would be normal behaviour.
The only way you could have both Wifi and Wifi Hotspot on concurrently would be if phones had 2x Wifi chips.
The idea is you either share your phones data connection with other devices via a hotspot, or you connect to a hotspot or other device with your wifi.

Hi Bigbot -
I am using your 15-1 beta deodex and found something weird. Actually it happened on previous rom too, but did not verify it on other rom, only found out this time time around. I'm on the latest BOG5 firmware and the only way to fix this is to reboot the phone.
When I have WIFI ON, internet is fine.
When I turn OFF WIFI and use data, internet is fine too.
Turn ON Mobile Hotspot from data, internet is fine too.
BUT...., If I were on WIFI AND internet is fine, I turn ON Mobile Hotspot. I got a warning saying that "turning on Mobile Hotspot will turn off WIFI". I press OK and check internet, it is fine. And this is where it gets weird, if I turn OFF Mobile Hotspot and turn ON WIFI, my WIFI connects but NO INTERNET. Check my router and router said phone is CONNECTED, but phone has no internet. Ping the phone from the other computer connected to the same router return fine. Phone cannot ping anything on the same router or to the internet. The ONLY WAY to resolve the WIFI internet now is to reboot the phone.
BUT.... if I were going from WIFI to Mobile Hotspot by turning OFF WIFI FIRST, WAIT a few second and then TURN ON Mobile Hotspot. When I go back to WIFI, it is FINE. I CAN connect to internet. It is only when I allow the system to turn OFF WIFI by itself to activate Mobile Hotspot will I loose my WIFI internet when I reconnect back to WIFI.
Do you know what is going on? It seemed like if the system turn OFF WIFI by itself to connect to Mobile Hotspot, it is also doing something more that when you turn ON WIFI it won't connect to the internet.
Hopefully you understand what I'm going through. It's been a few weeks like this that I finally find out the culprit.

I noticed the same thing yesterday. As a matter of fact, I am currently on jrkruse's OG5 rom and the same thing happens.

Anyone take the update that can check APN settings to see if we can change the APN after this update?
All greyed out ?

Even though the APN is greyed out and my APNs are stock. I can still use the power off method for hotspot.
Restart your phone, go into hotspot settings, turn off wifi sharing, turn on wifi sharing, turn on hotspot. It works for me.
When you turn on WiFi sharing, are you connected to an active WiFi network? If so, what you're seeing isn't tethering, it's WiFi sharing. Does this work if there is no active WiFi network in range?
What's the software version for the 5/6/16 update (e.g., PB5, PD3, or newer?
yep I agree with mereweb it's wifi sharing your highness, I've been checking every web site for Root every day, Dead End
Sorry
Since updating to 8.0 my hotspot has quit working. Just did a quick search of the forums and haven't seen that on a "list" of known bugs for 8.0. I upgraded to 8.1 beta in hopes that it would have a fix but so far its still not working. It was working prior to updating to 8.0. Any one else having issues? Im not rooted nor do I have TWRP.
Maybe something went wrong during the update process . Do a backup, completely wipe your phone and flash stock image 8.X.X.
was working fine for me in 8.0, updated to 8.1 opm1 (via ota zip from google) and now is hotspot broken for me
interestingly my laptop can ping my phone and it can also ping the gateway address of my phone's data connection
did you resolve your problem?
I fixed this by deleting /data/misc/wifi (using root). This reset all wifi and hotspot stuff.
edit: seems to have broken again - fark google
Not WIFI hotspot but USB tether stopped working for me also. The connection is just detected as a local network with no internet connection.
Was working fine on 8.0, update 8.1 broke it.
edited my apn type and seems to have fixed it. was 'default,supl', cahnged to 'default,supl,dun'

I flashed lineageos 15.1(android 8.1) on my 6p, having issue with wifi hotspot. The hotspot will stop working but the phone still thinks it's on. Basically I have wifi hotspot no nitification bar, and the togger switch showing on, however, no SSID can be found and previous connected devices got disconnected. Any fix on this?
N6P Hotspot start, stops Wi-Fi.
Checked these advises. Still no result. Logged in on my networkprovider and with data google fi off. I start hotspot. Wi-fi is halted. Hotspot monitor shows my hotspot is sent. Does not show on receivers. Any help is welcome.
Update: I added APN with wifi provider name. And put that in affect. WiFi is still logged in and received but same problem persists.
As soon I start WiFi again, hotspot is set to off.
So I manually updated my note 8 to oreo on Verizon note and the hack for hotspot doesn't work anymore. Has anyone found a way? I been trying different things to see if I can find a way but no luck so far.

Did you happen to try FoxFi to see if it would work? Also I think there is a direct WiFi way to connect with FoxFi that's new. You might try that. Let us know. I'm holding off until I know I can use the hotspot. I'm not sure if you can upgrade to Oreo unlocked version and get around Verizon's hotspot limitation.
Pdanet+ has wifi direct and it does work! I can confirm wifi direct works on mac.
Yea I updated also not thinking ab it and now I'm screwed.
Use pdanet+ and use wifi direct, it works fine, just have to change settings that's all. Hopefully something will come up coz I don't see any other android update coming anytime soon to note 8.
Another +1 for pdanet+ and wifi direct. requires the windows app but works like a charm - happy to have it back.
I tried bt I don't see how it works I guess. U have to have pdanet installed on wutever ur trying to connect to smart TV laptop etc. Maybe if I could sideload the apk on my smart TV bt other than that looks like it's only for computers and tablets

What setting(s) do you have to change to get the PDAnet+ to work?

What is the SIM popping trick because, I am trying to avoid using Odin to revert back to Nougat OS?
Start with wifi off. Eject your SIM card (you don’t have to pull the tray all the way out). This should take you to your lock screen. Unlock your phone. Go to settings > Connections > Mobile Hotspot & Tethering.
Here’s the tricky part... You have to pop the SIM back in and click the hotspot button quickly. You might get a message that pops up telling you “insert a SIM to turn on tethering” or something. If you get that, click “OK” to make it go away and click the hotspot button again.
Last thing, have a device ready to connect to your hotspot because it will time out and automatically turn the hotspot off.

Thanks....Work like a charm once I realized I had to go re-enable the two tether apps that I had turned off via BK Disabler app from the Nougat hotspot hack.
Thanks all
Wow is all i can say

If you use pdanet+ and wifi direct, do you need to check the box that says "Hide Tether Usage"? I assume that let's you tether without VZW knowing it's tethered data and thinking it's just normal cell data usage? Does it actually work? Would be useful when I'm nearing close to my 15 GB tethering limit.

I have been using Foxfi. 1st, I enable my native hotspot then turn it on in Foxfi and configure the password and name to the same as the phone and set the proxy. Next go to pdanet+ and tick hide tethering. Then I update the apn settings and add dun to the configuration. I have the SM-N950U cre1 baseband on metro pcs. Unlimited plan with a cycle from the 8th-7th. According to the my metro app I've used 3.4G of data and 165mb out of 10G hotspot since the 8th. The phone says I've use 5G of data but doesn't tell me the usage on mobile hotspot. I can say I usually have 2-3 devices and a laptop using the hotspot.
anyone know why S7 sprint hotspot maximum connection is only 1? and why it can not change?
I'm using the no root hotspot mod on my s7 sprint and have had up to 5 devices connected to it before.
Hotspot
Could you point me to a guide on how to do the hot spot mod? Thanks in advance
Instructions would be nice for this mod.
I found instructions to enable the hotspot via the ADB hack...........I can get the hotspot to enable, but devices connected to it don't have internet..........so not sure the next step.

Did you toggle the mobile data? I usually turn mobile data off, Hotpot on, mobile data on.
Will try that later on, this is for my son's phone and he's still sleeping.

Depending on the method, when you are finished: Mobile Data Off; Hotspot Off; Mobile Data On
He tried it and it works................thanks!
