Hello.
I had a problem with tethering hotspot after Oreo update.
When the tether is turned on while screen is blocked, the other devices can see the wifi of the mobile but can not access.
But once the screen of the mobile is unlocked then the devices can connect to the mobile.
I need this automation of tethering hotspot for my car.
Annoying now to unlock always the mobile to get car connected.
My mobile is exynos, not root, never flashed apart of samsung updates.
Any help?
Thankyou
Sorry, anyone knows what can be happening?? Any help?
Every post that says after oreo update, i can only say factory reset. A good practice after a major software update !
Note 8 here, exynos, oreo, no root. Don't use it for car, but all other devices can connect when the screen is off.

Hey all,
Coming from the tmobile LG g3 where autoprime has a fantastic mod that allowed tethering to be spoofed so it vans up under the unlimited data.
I have this old app i purchased a long while ago, wifi tether and it worked great before auto prime patch cache out, rendering the app useless.
Now I'm on the tmobile n6 64 gig and the wifi tethering app is just not working.
I have sent t the logs to the creator of the app and he cannot find anything wrong.
The problem is, I enable the wifi tethering app on my n6. I then connect my n9 to it to stream while I'm at work. Then, randomly, with the screen on and in the middle of streaming, or if I step away and the n9 is paused and the screen turns off, each time the n6 says it's still tethering. However, the nexus 9 is disconnected from it and when I rescan for it, it doesn't show up. So I have to turn off and back on the wifi tethering app for it to work again, until it happens again.
I'm following all his instructions and it is not working like it used to. So I'm posting here to see if anyone out there has any suggestions or advice to help me getting this to work on my n6 flawlessly please.
Thank you,
Whiteice

Is anyone else experiencing a failure to use mobile hotspot tethering on Note 9 after Pie update?
What carrier are you on?
I got it working on the note 8 on pie

Yes yes yes. Keeps dropping me. I found a solution but it costs. VPN try a free one first see if it helps.
Hello,
I get the message 'Internet may not be available' when I connect to my works wifi. Anybody has come across it?
The wifi router is an Asus AC-1200 running stock firmware. At home I don't have any issue with Ubiquiti AC Pro access point.
I am running stock Oreo firmware on SM-N960F/DS.
Thanks
Yes and all kinds of other issues like. Tethering to my iPad. Keeps kicking me off the hotspot from my phone. It happened with beta so I went back to oreo. I thought they would fix it in the official release. But no. Back to oreo for me.
If it is work wifi does your device has to be white-listed before granted access?

No, the device does not need to be whitelisted. The wifi works with the screen on but when the screen is off it disconnects from the wifi. Fortunately, I have access to the work wifi AP and i disabled the 'power save' option which seem to have helped.

After finally getting the 9.0 update, I turned on Mobile Hotspot so my spouse could watch Netflix. It was unusable, so I connect to my MBP and run Speed Test. It was horrible: ~0.76Mbit Down, ~0.50Mbit Upload and those results are repeatable and a reboot of the phone doesn't help. Before in my area it was usually around ~25Mbit-40Mbit Down. This is not going to work since I also rely on tethering for remote work.
Did T-Mobile break Mobile Hotspot?
I am on the latest T-Mobile 9.0 release according to sammobile.
I am surprised this isn't more widespread...
Not that I wish for others to have bad Mobile Hotspot sharing, but at least I would know it is not just my device. I have tried a couple times a week since this post, and it never gets above 1Mbit Download Rate.
Does anyone use the Mobile Hotspot on 9.0 and can report that it does still have 20-30Mbit download rates?

Im not a tmobile user but mine is just fine
Hi All, I have an Exynos Note 8 SM-N950F. I have finally updated the software to android 9.0, and now whenever I turn on the hotspot, it disables WiFi.
Can anyone point me to a rom or fix to enable both WiFi and hotspot, so I can share my WiFi connection with the hotspot? If not, I assume I have to install the stock 8.0 rom for the SM-N950F?
I'm not sure that's possible. By enabling hotspot, your phone becomes the local wifi for the devices you want to share it with using your data. If you are receiving wifi from somewhere, why cant the other devices you want to use just use that wifi as well? If wifi is available to your phone, I'm not understanding why you have to activate hotspot to provide wifi to other devices when they could just obtain wifi from the same place your phone is getting it from already.

Thank you for the reply! I didn't believe so as well, but at least the Exynos Note 8 had this ability. I could hypothetically be on a plane, join the paid WiFi, and share the connection to my laptop. I used it to join a VPN on my phone, and share with my laptop. I also used it as a network extender while traveling; I'd place my phone in the area that got the best WiFi signal, and use it as a repeater for my laptop. IDK if this is a general android 9.0 disabling, or specific to Samsung, but I need this feature on my phone. The note 8 was close to perfect, except for these software limitations, including the slow charging bug. I specifically imported the Exynos version when I bought it so I could roll back the software if I had to.
Ah , ok that makes sense..
