Guys, I have a brand new Xperia Play, stock ROM, unrooted. When I switch on the wifi tethering it doesn't work.
My 3G data connection otherwise works flawlessly, but as soon as I turn on wifi tethering (or USB tethering) it stops receiving data.
Thus I cannot share my internet connection with my Vita or laptop.
I tried restarting the device, re-installing the 3G access point, nothing helps.
Anyone knows what might be the problem... or should I try to return the device?
(This is quite important for me as I work from home and need an internet connection to my laptop from time to time.)
Well are you SURE that your carriers data plan supports tethering?

100% sure, it worked previously with Sony Xperia P (which I sold already).

Hi,
I've been wondering if it is possible to be connected to my home router with my Arc while the portable hotspot option is turned on so that the other device can connect on the internet using Arc.

I don't believe this is possible, you're either in hotspot mode or normal wifi mode.
Thought so, but still, too bad.

My Rooted World Generic Xperia Arc 2.3.4 disconnects frequently from Wifi. It does not stay for even few minutes. I have setup a wifi connection(WPA2-PSK) by sharing my PC's wired internet connection(1Mbps) through a Wifi usb Dongle(Netgear WNA1100) and Connectify.exe on Windows 7. This kind internet sharing worked perfectly on my other sony ericsson java phones(Aino,W995). But Arc disconnects frequently. I'm trying to download the remaining data(458 MB) of Asphalt 6 3.55 HD with the WiFi connection. Where is the problem ?
same **** as usual, doesn't like PSK. Restart your router

use WPA2 with AES, i had a lot of problems using wpa2+tkip (every android device i have has problems with wpa2+tkip)
You're using netgear, likely the problem, get a decent router. Lots of dropping complaints but we should really make a thread and find out good and crap routers, my tomato routers the phone never drops out with.

I'm Not using a router. I'm using usb wifi dongle. I'm using connectify on PC to allow my wifi usb dongle to share the internet connection. Can u recommend any similar softwares that can play with security techniques ?
So there is no way to rectify this problem ???
Hi,
I hope wifi hotspot issue, my LT15i is flash with CM7.2, the wifi hotspot connection with my laptop and ipad keep dropping if my phone is on battery, however if I connect the charger, everything works just fine for hours. I've tried different version of CM7.2 but still the same. Can anyone please help?

Answer is yes, you can also use as a usb hotspot
Settings>more>teathering&portable hotspot

to get xperia S to take internet with usb from laptop is not quite possible, you'd better turn on wireless and then set laptop as hotspot.

Does anyone else have problems with wifi tethering? It seems to happen for me with any rom, currently though using JellySlim_FullPower [HSD Project 4].
My problem is I start the wifi tethering from my Xperia S, then on my Windows 7 PC I can connect no problem at all and usually it works fine - The problem then is if I try and connect to the same hotspot with another device at the same (Xperia T / Nexus 7 2013). Within minutes of more than one device been connected to my Xperia S wifi hotspot all the connections drop, then on Windows 7 I get the Limited Connectivity and yellow exclamation mark.
To keep it simple, wifi tethering seems to work when only one device is connected to the hotspot, but it seems having multiple devices connected causes the connection to lose internet.
Has anyone else experienced this, have a solution maybe? I am wondering if there is a setting to allow x amount of connections at once or something
Thanks.

The only thing I can do is connect phone to PC and use USB tethering for internet on PC, then to share with another device also use hotspot.
Again though, any more devices using the same hotspot drops all the connections. I cannot find a resolution.

Have you tryed with kitkat how tethering works?
Two months later and so many many wasted hours, looks like solution found! Luckyly by my self
Go to your pc wlan device properties and change from internet protocol verion propeties ip to automatic.
I hope this helps help someone else.
Strangely two other phone tethers ok even ip wasn´t automatic. Not sure when that setting was change. Or was it.
