After updating to Lolipop on the Z3 Compact the mobile internet works on the phone (THREE Network) but when I try the teathering / hotspot it doesn't work, No point trying to contact THREE as all they say is they don't allow teathering on Pay as You Go even tho I've been teathering for years without issue till this **bleep** Lolipop came along!!!
Any one found a cure for this?

Its a standard phone "stock" in other words its not been rooted etc... Was originally an O2 branded phone but i had it unlocked awhile ago, Used to work fine on kit kat even the day before the update, lollipop has done something by looks of it.

"Customization Version" is 1288-6818_R5C
Haven't tried a factory reset, Is there any reason why this could be happening? Is the network able to block hotspot on lollipop or something?
Have seen others saying they are having a similar problem, here for example talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z3-Z3-Dual/Tethering-hotspot-problem-with-Z3-after-Lollipop-update-23-1-A-0/td-p/955798
I tried the sim in a iPhone and the hotspot works perfectly, it's got to be something to do with lollipop.

1) Lollipop is a major release and a factory reset is highly recommended.
Many people have had issues with this upgrade and most of them solved with a factory reset.
I know it's annoying but just give it a try.
2) Your firmware is still branded (O2) and since you are on another network, I suggest you flash the UK unbranded (1288-4954)
You can install the KitKat version from here (23.0.1.A.5.77): http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/list-stock-firmwares-d5803-d5833-t2906706
and test the tethering.
Then, when asked, update to Lollipop and see if it works.
Don't worry, you don't lose the warranty and if you need, you can revert to 02 branded through a tool named Xperifirm :good:

Notification can be hidden from settings>apps>all>update center (my settings are in Italian, I don't know how they're named in English, but they should sound something like that) and just uncheck "show notification" (or something like that) and enjoy your kitkat.
Anyway if I were you, I would try to update to lollipop now and see if it's lollipop the real problem with tethering. You can always flash kitkat again and again and again... now you know how to.

Going back to the OP's original tethering problem, the fix is here (requires ADB):

Hi, I can see I have exactly the same problem, I have actually tried the Factory Reset and did not work.

I'd hate to factory-reset my phone only to find this problem didn't get fixed by the act, and I'd have to slog through the entire set-up again. No, I think this is a 5.1.1 specific problem that Sony needs to address because prior to this FW everything was fine. So for now, I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope Sony will come through. If not, well, can't really do anything except roll back to 4.4.4.

Good day, I have a problem with my android and firmware update. I have seen some blogs about xperiaV posting that they already have JB 4.3 update and the latest version of firmware 9.2.a.2.5.. I am wondering how they update it 'cause when i connect my phone to Pc and run the PC Companion, i check the update and it says my phone/tablet is up to date, but the android version of my phone was still 4.1.2 and the firmware version is 9.1.a.1.140.. I don't understand what is the problem of my phone or at my PC Companion Software. I tried also connecting my phone to internet and check for update and still it says my system is up to date. My main concern why i wanted to update my phone, it is because my phone is now dead signal as in no signal (by the way i'm form the Philippines using Smart Communication Network postpaid) I've already switching the network from GSM only and to other choices provided but still no signal. I tried switching my Airplane mode and it displays an airplane icon on the signal area (I think airplane mode is working well, never tried using is). I've read some blogs also that you need to root your phone and flash the firmware and so on to update the android version, but i think its just changing the room, not really updating the system. I don't want to do that 'cause my phone might turn into bootloap 'cause i don't have much knowledge on doing that. I've read also some blogs stating that there is a bug or network issue on version 4.1.2. So i am looking forward from anybody here in the forum who can help or teach me what to do to update my android and firmware version.
I am not sure of it useful to 'upgrade" the phone to solve a problem - this problem of yours. If I were you I'd use the repair my phone option in PC-Companion first, and then see what happens with the phone signal.
You can simly flash any ftf file for your phone with flashtool. Not the sony one. You don't need root access for it
#Mr. Peter-K I've tried it already just a minute ago and still no use. Related to the blogs that i have read regarding on the 4.1.2 version network bug. there problem has been solve after updating the version of there android.
#Mr. Jimmy i'm new here, i hve knowledge on doing flash but i dont have any idea what file to download so that i can update the version of my android to 4.3 and the firmware also. I would like to ask you help if its ok for you,.

You can jump straight to 9.2.A.2.5
It's important that you wipe all your data... and Flashtool will do it for you automatically if you don't change anything just before flashing

I actually don't know how sim-unlocking works.
Have you ever asked to your network? Usually they give you a code after having paid a little fine.

Back to my thread.still my phone signal is not working. i just found out w while ago that if i am in the higher place like 2nd floor of the building, i got a 2g network and my phone signal is working. but if i'm already at the ground floor the signal is not working. is it ok if i am going to do open line on my so that it will receive any type of network or is it really the software problem of my phone causing the signal not working??
I have a LG G Flex model LG-D958. I have this weird problem with making or receiving phone call. If I set the network mode to only GSM mode, then I can make call out and receive incoming phone call. Other than this setting, example when set to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto mode, I could only access the internet network in WCDMA or LTE or EDGE mode for DATA access BUT could not receive or make phone call. If I make a call out, it will cut off after several seconds. When I tried calling to my this mobile number from another phone, I could only hear the annouced voicecall telling me that it could not be reached at the moment. Then, when I set it back to GSM only mode..then making or receiving call is back to normal.
My ANdroid version is 4.4.2. Can someone advise me what I can do to get my Flex works again? Thank you
This is an L23? Where are you located? Its to my understanding those are sold gsm Sim unlocked.
Is this a new Sim card? Is it a GSM network Sim?
Have you changed the software at all?

I am from Thailand but currently in Malaysia.
Yes, this model is sold in THailand with open sim.
Yes, it is a new Sim card with GSM network that include 3G/4G network access.
THe software I see from the phone setting is D95820d-IND-XX; Android version is 4.4.2
appreciate your help..thanks
I'm not sure why you would have to change these radio settings at all. It should work right out of the box, except for your carriers specific APN settings.
Have you tried a factory reset? Start from scratch? Have you made any software changes?

Yes, it supposed to be.. I mean it works for everything except cannot make call if I set it to GSM/3G/4G auto mode. I have done a hard reset but the problem still persists. I was given this phone by my cousin and I am not sure whether any softwares was changed BUT I understand that the original Android version should be 4.2.2 - but now it is 4.4.2, do you think this could be the reason that is the cause of this weird problem?
Maybe it is good to totally unflash and reflash it back to its original software version. Can you guide me to doing this?
THank you
Or is there any way that i can run a diagnostic test from within the phone itself? Please advise too, thank you

According to the lg website it should only be on 4.2.2.

I think a fresh start using the lg flash tool would be best.
Make sure you get the right firmware/tot, for your model.
Can you ask ,whomever you got the phone from what and why he changed the software?

So I bought my XZ1C in the US, flashed Pie (tried SG, TH, FR) with newflasher/flashtool, since the official US Pie is not out yet, all files except Simlock.ta. All the firmwares showed full signal some time (3~5 minutes, give or take) after boot on, but none of them were able to have data access, and phone calls cannot be made. Xperia Companion doesn't fix anything. Rebooting doesn't fix anything. Same if I take out my sim and replug in, same if I choose WCDMA/GSM or GSM only, same if I reset network settings, and same if I flash the baseband files + OEM.ta from US 47.1.A.16.20. When I go in to the testing (*#*#4636#*#* if I recall correctly), all numbers are 0, indicating no issues with the sim card itself. IMEI is showing up correctly, and the phone even recognizes my carrier. If I rollback to Oreo, everything just works fine, whether it's US, HK, FR, DE, or whatever. It's been really depressing, and I appreciate if anyone could help me out with what is happening here. BTW, my carrier is CTExcel, based on T-Mobile in the US. Thanks.
Does you've try a factory reset after upgrade to Pie?

I'll give it a shot, but I doubt it's because of that. My carrier never required APN settings on iOS or Android Oreo; all it has in APN is something called "alpha" on my iPhone 5s.
I haven't the problem at all. which are reported.... OK... first at all, I have received a loop of reboot during the Sony logo.. After that I press power and Volume up for a few seconds... the phone vibrate some times (normally its means factory reset). After that it was started and I'm at the beginning...

Ok, I used my home-country SIM card, and enabled roaming, it worked, with AT&T network connected. Changing the APN to my US carrier's didn't solve the problem, however, so I suppose I shall just contact my carrier then. Thanks, bro.
Hi everyone
I have a strange problem. I bought the "International" version, which was of course the Tencent with a flashed ROM. Although it was sold as "International" hehe
I didn't have Google Pay working and I've flashed the 1703 together with fingerprint, re-locked it down after and then updated with the latest firmware from the Asus website. (Google Pay works now)
Version WW-16.0631.1908.21
I now see that even though I have a FULL 4G+ signal. Calls come through normally etc. but the internet on mobile data simply doesn't work.
Anybody have any advice what else I could do?

It was a simple APN problem

I just googled what my mobile phone carrier APN was and entered it instead of the wrong one.
You can find the one in the phone by simply going to settings > network and internet > mobile network -> APN ( Access Point Names )
I just started having this issue yesterday! Phone has been working great for over a month then all of a sudden 4g shows it's on and connected but no mobile data coming through! My APN is correct, and I'm using Straight Talk through the TMobile network... Still haven't been able to fix it.
Same issue here internet connection dropping
I wonder if T-Mobile is doing some "dry runs" before they officially light up their 5G network on December 6th. (src: https://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/4...d=WMM_TMO_P_19NETWRK5G_91WOGGGY1WERV94JC18747)
I am having same issue. Adding APN works for few hours. Then drops out. What to do? Did you guys find any solution?
Assalam alaykum
I suffered from dropping internet dropping connection
The solution was APN
Go to settings > network and internet > mobile network -> APN ( Access Point Names )
click the ( Access Point Names ) and you will find many APN setting Depend on your internet provider
Click one of them and then and on far top right option button click (delete APN)
Repeat this until you delete them all
Click the ( + ) sign to create new APN
Now go to thia site:
https://www.apnsettings.org/
And search for your country or internet provider
Copy the APN setting from the website to you your phone
Then save.
Hope it could help you
In case you couldn't connect to the internet at all
you can always restore your previous setting by :
Go to settings > network and internet > mobile network -> APN ( Access Point Names )
on far top right option button click (reset to default)

Who is your provider? Are you using SIM or eSIM? Are you rooted? Did you disable all the Magisk modules before the update? If you forgot that step, have you since disabled all Magisk modules and started over?
While you may be out of commission on the phone side (although, Google Voice would be a good band-aid), you may not be out of commission on the SMS side. Google's text app, Messaging, recently went live with RCS messaging and it can send texts via WiFi.
Incidentally, if it's Google Fi that's giving you fits, the same thing happens to me every time I do a clean install. Fi refuses to connect until I've rebooted two or three times and then the final confirmation comes several hours later.

Okay, you answered almost none of my questions but it's irrelevant at this point because it sounds like the phone was stolen. If the IMEI is reported as stolen, it's flagged in a database and alerted carriers will shut off the service.
If that's the case, at this point, I'd be more concerned about the police knocking on my door than lack of mobile service. I'd send you over to IMEI.info to verify but I'm guessing I haven't told you anything you didn't already know.
imei number legit not reported or blacklisted, but yeah i think this phone is doomed unless there some magic update resolved this

Why don't you try to reset using the last official 10 firmware (to reset all partitions), then activate through setup, then flash and test a custom rom. This is of course only possible if it's an unlocked bootloader (which you didn't mention) but that's where I'd start especially if it worked before the update. You say is legit and sounds like it worked BEFORE the last update so roll back and then use a custom rom.

Unfortunately it's my best guess because I can't reproduce it myself but if it worked prior to the firmware upgrade, it should work by reverting the firmware to the previous firmware in my opinion. I'd take it the step furtherand go with a custom 10 ROM to remove Google firmware updates messing with it in the future (assuming we get it working again).
Interestingly enough, I searched other forums and found other users reporting the same issue. Again, assuming it worked on the previous firmware, I would roll bak to it. Ideally, I would rollback to 10 because I know 10 works (not sure how well it works for you in your local and provider), but thats where I would start. Backup everything you need, then use the last 10 firmware to -w the device and activate then start over.
