Hello everyone on this forum!
I have an issue with my P20 Pro when using wifi hotspot, or I think it's releated to my phone. To the point...
Sometimes I have to use wifi hotspot from my p20 pro to share internet access to my work laptop. Basically, if I'm at home office I use VPN to connect to internal network of my work place, so I can access internal recources. And everything is working when using hotspot except one program which uses SQL database. On phone wifi hotspot I can't access this database and it looks like my phone is blocking traffic related to this database. Database is giving me error that I'm not connected to internal network. I tried to reset network setting, still the same problem. I checked on some other phones:
google pixel 4a - database access OK,
huawei P20 lite - no database access,
any other non-phone hotspot network - database access OK.
Any segestion why this is happening?
Try usb tether and switching to 5Ghz (if possible on notebook side). Sounds like some routing issues but if you tried resetting already then I don't suppose you'll be able to resolve that.

Hello,
I'm trying to use the hotspot with this android 6 phone, The clients connects but the internet connection isn't available.
I've played a little bit with apn settings (according to other threads) but nothing changed.
the device is not rooted.
Thanks
Are you connected to mobile data when you turn on the hotspot? Does mobile data internet work for your hotspot device?
OK, so it's a Vodafone upgrade, plenty of data avail, on contract, in UK, just cannot get these to work!!
Huawei to Windows 7 Laptop
Huawei to HTC ONE M9
Huawei to Samsung Galaxy S2
All say connected, but Internet is not getting to the tethered devices, P10 also says no data used whilst USB tethered or Hot Spotted!!
I follow the screen instructions to the letter, but as I say, they connect, but Internet just isn't there....
Pulling my hair out!! Help!!
Cheers
Karl
I don't know if you ever solved your problem, but I hit the exact same brick wall trying to get wifi tethering to work, hope this may help someone else.
My phone is Huawei P10 lite, and network also Vodafone.
I was able to narrow it down to an IP conflict issue: If I turn on wifi tethering I will lose internet on the phone and connected phones will also not have internet available, obviously.
I tried changing the APN settings (Mobile Network and select your APN in use, then EDIT) and use for normal connections and roaming both IPv4 and IPv6 (the default is only IPv4), and that allowed me to be able to use internet on my phone with tethering on; however connected phones still do not receive a valid IP and aren't able to connect to my internet.
I finally managed to share my internet, but only using bluetooth tethering, not wifi (using the settings I mentioned above).
BTW: Using the exact same SIM card, on another phone, I have no issues whatsoever setting up a wifi hotspot to others. This happens only with this combination (Huawei + Vodafone)
Reset your apn settings
Same issue here with two new p10s and Vodafone. So it seems a bug in the tethering subsystem since one of them work only if you tether via Bluetooth and the other one just fails to bridge the network via its hotspot. Wondering if anyone here has managed to report the issue to Huawei/Vodafone and what was the outcome and/or reference to do a follow up. Best regards
Ok, I've got it working on one of the phone (missus not around but it should fix in the same way).
All I needed to do was to reset the APN to it defaults as described in the Vodafone forum.
Settings -> Mobile Network -> Access Point Name -> Three dots (upper right hand side on the screen) you will find the "reset to defaults" and that's how I fixed it!
You legend - that totally saved me doing a factory reset for which I shall be eternally grateful. Well.. At least til next week.
Got my P20 Pro yesterday and mostly seems really good but I'm having some network issues that I'm hoping someone can enlighten me on.
Connects to WiFi no problem, internet is all ok but apps that connect to devices on my local network aren't seeing the devices. Harmony is one of them - it scans my network but doesn't find either of my Logitech harmony hubs - if I add them via their up manually then it connects but then thinks they are on an external network so connects through the cloud.
My DS apps are also not able to find my Synology server when scanning - I can input the IP address and it will connect but the server never shows when scanning the network for devices.
Is it going to be that the apps are the problem and they don't work properly with the P20 Pro - I struggle to think that's the problem, it seems like a network discovery issue on the phone, some protocol thats disabled or some onboard firewall that's hidden that it blocking local traffic on certain ports?
Anyone with any ideas would be great as I'm at a loss right now and thinking the phone will have to go back if it can't do these basic things...

Allow location for those apps, it's a Oreo thing
Same problem
Hi, I also have this problem with my p20 pro where a lot of internal services are not reachable when I'm on wifi... For example my synology diskstation, my smart home system Loxone, my Logitech Squeezebox Server and so on... And not only from the apps, also not in the browser... This is very strange and I'm not sure why this is not working...
In Oreo no app whatsoever can scan wifi if not allowed location services.
Hi,
I'm still having these issues...when I do a traceroute for a local IP it just won't get a route / no hops. But....my DSL line dropped out this week and I had to physically disconnect my FritzBox from the DSL line and all of a sudden all the different apps facilitating local things worked like a charme....back online again it stops working again.
I'm in IT for over 15 years and I haven't found a solution for this yet...this is really bugging me!
Anyone else has similar issues or found a solution in the meantime?
Could you solve this problem?
As said in the title, when I use my p20 pro as Hotspot for my laptop internet works fine on it but seems disconnected for the phone. Any ideas why this happen? I tried to change option in my device but it seems to behave the same way.
Phone connection off when Hotspot on [P20 Pro]
Got a new P20 Pro. I experienced the same problem as stated on the subject.
Any solution out there?
Same Problem
I have exactly the same issue. Whenever hotspot no internet connection works on the phone, but all the connected devices have access (already tested with 10+ devices)

In APN settings try selecting MVNO ---- GID
Save and exit and try to surf the web from P20 Pro
Hello all,
I have a Wi-Fi router that I use just to transfer data to and control my smart TV and other devices. This wifi does not have internet access. So when I connect my OnePlus 3T to this Wi-Fi , it shows that the Wi-Fi does not have internet access and keeps accessing data connection. Even when I turn off data, the phone does not even try to access anything from Wi-Fi connection. I have not faced this problem on any other phones and those are able to connect to other local devices through Wi-Fi without internet. Anybody have a solution? Thanks in advance.
PS: auto switch between data and Wi-Fi setting is already disabled.
