I've had days problem since day one. Haven't been able to find a fix.

This may not be related but I found in my case that disabling Android Firewall on my LG G3 solved the hotspot internet connection problem.

Mine is not working as well.
Using 3rd party app called Wifi tether router, it works, but it is not freeware.

Android firewall? Where can you disable that?

To disable, click on the 3-dots menu (top right) - assuming, of course, that you've actually got Android Firewall installed.

i also had the same problem. but i installed "wifi tethering" which then got me to install "OpenGarden", however, none of them helped me activate wifi tethering and hence I removed them. But right after that, when I re-enabled hotspot, it started working perfectly fine!! Not sure what happened there, but I thought i'd share it anyway.

[Q]Problems with firewall apps[and possible solution/bugs]?

On data?
I've tried both Avast firewall and Droidwall, checking off different apps each time, but they all ended up connecting to the internet as if they were never blocked.
But when I switched to wifi, the filter/blacklist works again.
Is anyone having similar problems or ICS comes with a secret function of bypassing firewall on data?
I'm running stock ICS 4.02, rooted of course. Thanks
Update: I found out that if I uncheck set mobile data limit under data usage, all my firewall apps work again.
So could anyone confirm/find out if this newly implemented function in ICS kinda interferes with the firewall filters used in most apps now?
Firewall
I haven't used anything else but eNETraffic. Works great if you notice to switch firewall on

Thanks. I will try it when I get home.
Just wondering if anyone had similar problems or knows what's the problem here.
Edit: It's not working too.
OMG this is driving me nuts, together with the 20% battery drain/hour.

Okey.. :s sorry, have to ask but you did notice that little switch at bottom (i didnt saw that at first time) if that didnt help, i would take nandroid and flash some rom and test with it.. and restore if it didnt work either.

I've Galaxy nexus also, and was facing your problem, but thanks to your update below, yes, if you uncheck the data limit box the firewall works fine (I'm using droidwall)

I used that ROM for awhile, I just use the embedded mobile hotspot with no issues. Just go to Settings> More Networks > Tethering and Mobile HotSpot and turn Mobile Hotspot on ( I reinstalled the ROM to be able to give accurate information)

try installing xposed and the Wanam module.
in system option (in Wanam) turn off tethering provisioning.
reboot and use the stock tethering option.
if you are on windows try changing the browsers user agent to an android user string. you don't need to do this if you run Linux.

Have you tried my Sprint Port? Im told hotspot works quite well with it.

problem with app wifi tether router

OK so here's what's going on the app works great but when I turn it off everything on the phone that it's installed on says it's off the app says it's disabled the process is gone from running processes but somehow it's still broadcasting because even with it off all my other devices still see it and they try to connect but fail
Now if I reboot after turning the app off everything is fine see the problem is if I don't reboot after turning the app off I get a massive battery drain. I was wondering if anyone else had this app installed and are having the same issue here is a link to a video that I made showing what's going on its on a zip file just so I could upload it faster please take a look and tell me what you think could be going on
I've emailed the developer but he doesn't know what's happening and why anyway here's the link

Hello Rob
I am also having the same issue with D855 international version with 10e Europe firmware and Wifi Tether Router app.
The turnaround action I am using is to go to the "recent apps" (button in the botton of home screen) and close the Wifi tether app window. Doing that, the wifi signal is gone. So I do not need to reboot.
Hope this "solution" can help you a little. But of course it would be better if the dev fis that in the app.

Cabtouch

Nope that doesn't work for me funny thing is I even uninstalled the app and it was still broadcasting until I rebooted I'm at a loss with this and the developer has no clue as to why it's doing it either

I had the same problem with my lg g3 and my Samsung PM 900. I decided to uninstall the app until there is a new update hoping it might be better...
I've emailed the developer and he can't find a problem I emailed him a video showing exactly what it was doing
I think I found the problem if you have the hacked hotspot apk installed this app won't stop broadcasting so far by putting the original hotspot apk back on has fixed the problem but I'm still doing some further testing to make sure

FoxFi not working - can't set up VPN

I'm running 5.0.1 BOG5.
On my old Note 4 (can't remember the version details) I was able to run FoxFi no problem.
However, on my new one, I can't set up the VPN.
I click on the Activate Hotspot and I get the "Allow Connection" message.
It has a cancel and an OK option but the OK button doesn't do anything.
Anybody know what's going on?
thanks in advance,
Matt

Nope
Should I?
No you shouldn't
I'm still looking for some assistance here.
Foxfi answered my question...there was something causing an overlay ... it was lux....a screen dimming app. Once I disabled that app I was able to set up foxfi.
Yeah!
Frickin Lux doesn't work properly, but it causes all kinds of problems.

I was having the same issue but couldn't find any answer to it. I sent an email to foxfi and I got a reply with a link to their FAQs. It didn't help, then I found your post and tried uninstalling some dim screen app I had... AND IT WORKED. That's bizarre IMO. I was wondering how you got a hold of their support.
Anyways, thanks for sharing. This is what the community should be all about, sharing and even if you got the answer somewhere else, you come back and post it for others to see. Thank you again.
:good:
Thank you, that was pissing me off. lol
Hi guys!
Same problem here
Nope I am having the same problem and i am still on kitkat.

Nougat issues.

So as far as the update goes I really do like it. However I am having a couple issues. Wifi calling will no longer connect for starters. Also when I open messaging and then open a conversation there's like a 2 sec pause before the conversation actually opens. Anyone else having these issues? I'm wondering if I should just do a hard reset and start from scratch. Thanks for any help.

No wifi calling for me after enabled for a few minutes from a fresh reboot. Get a can't connect wifi calling to the network message, but if I reboot It works right after for a few again.
I have neither issue, and I use WiFi calling on many different networks, you should call Sprint and have then reset your WiFi calling. On the messaging, try a different app, such as Textra. I notice a lil more battery drain, but that will prolly change after 7 soaks in for a few days.

Are you guys with WiFi calling issues using any ad blocking software. As that seems to be likely what is causing my issues with WiFi calling. Adguard disabled it will work all day just fine.

Wow thanks. I use adguard and once I disabled it it worked right away. I did enable it again right after so we'll see if it holds.

It likely will not, or doesn't for me. I'd go without it for a while and make sure WiFi calling is fine. (make a few calls and such) then later fill a report from within the app feedback. They will likely get back to you asking to change the logging level to everything and reproduce the problem. so maybe do that from the start. The more reports the better chance it gets fixed.
HELP PLS

Have you found a solution to the delayed opening of conversations? Mine is doing the same thing, I've done a hard reset and it does it still

Sadly no. If it's a known issue it could be fixed in a future update.

Welp it would seem WiFi calling is borked when using any VPN service.
Yay for Nougat....lol
god i hope they release a patch soon (doubtful)...
Is there anyway to roll back to 6.0?
WiFi Calling is now working when using Adguard when using build 2.8.71

LG G5 Text Message Issues since Adroid 7.0 Nougat Update
The problem with not receiving text messages reliably on an LG phone running Android 7.0 Nougat is related to the text messaging app that LG created and loaded onto our phones as the default messaging app. I reported this issue to LG about a month ago after extensive testing and I've confirmed that many 3rd party messaging apps will work reliably. For instance and app like Textra will work reliably and offers much more functionality than the built in LG app.
I even went as far as to provided my testing details then send my phone in for warranty repair so that LG could have a closer look and work towards a resolution but all LG did was factory reset my phone and said that the phone worked fine. When I got it back I tested again and the issue remained. I firmly believe LG has no idea how to resolve this software issue and is ignoring it at this point and basically screwing their customers over. Luckily the solution is to ditch the LG messaging app and use any 3rd party messaging app instead.....but I would encourage anyone having this issue to hold LG to task and report it to them as this issue is a direct result of a poorly written application they created.
This is my first LG and it will be my last....never again!
