Hotspot not working after Pie upgrade. - Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers

On my device hotspot was working badly on Oreo, but now on Pie after the initial upgrade, and the second one in December there is no internet after connecting to xperia hotspot.
Tried from other phones and 3 laptops, and its the same, it connects but theres no internet.
Does it work on your devices guys, ot is it just me?

My hotspot works fine.

Thank you, that worked!
Now I got full LTE speed on hotspot, comparing to poor 5 MBbit in Oreo.

Hi,
Same problem here, I tried to change all the settings about data but it works for 5 minutes and then it doesn't work.

If it worked for 5 minute the problem is right that. Try to change carrier or try with a friend's sim

It was working fine before the Pie upgrade.
Moreover, when the issue happens, I still have internet on my phone, but not on my PC.

Unable to tether with .757

Hello,
I recently upgraded to .757 firware (rooted) and today I tried to tether my 3G connection via WiFi as I used to do on JB. The thing is that it doesn't work and after trying, I get a "error" in the settings (see pic attached). Furthermore, I can't turn WiFi on, unless I reboot.
I've already seen some workarounds (like deleting /data/misc/wifi) but it doesn't work for me... it's annoying because otherwise, rom is great.
Anybody ever encountered this issue or knows a quick fix ?
PS: I know there are some troubles with T-Mobile, and I'm not on T-Mobile network, to make it clear
Thanks !

I got it too, flash rom again and everything will be ok
I have been unable to tether using bluetooth. Everything seems to go through but the notification icon does not stay in the status bar, and there is no actual connection.
Tethering via bluetooth with an Xperia Z on 4.3 works just fine.
So I can confirm that something is broken in the tethering function.

Didn't work... I can't figure what's going on, third party apps don't work either, there must be something broken really. I don't understand.
Can somebody please confirm that their tethering works on KK .757 ?

Wifi Calling Error

I am just curious if anyone else is having trouble with wifi calling after the update? I can't get mine to connect at all. Sometimes nothing ever happens and sometimes I get an error message ER081.. I googled it and only the Note 4 I believe is reported of having this issue and it was fixed by doing something to the router. I don't think that is the case for me because Ive reset them twice. I reset my phone too. I called TMo and they're clueless. Any ideas??

Just chiming in to say I'm having identical issues. Tried multiple wifi routers (work, friend's place, etc), none work. Unfortunately I don't have any advice beyond what you already mentioned (factory reset).
Questions:
Was your update OTA? I used LG mobile support tool.
Do you think re-downloading/installing the update would be worth trying? My first thought is no. Basically if 99% of functions are working then it seems unlikely there was an error in download/install steps...

So I found out it was my modem from Time Warner Cable. I ran some speed tests on my wifi and it was running extremely slow. I was still getting decent internet speeds on all my devices, but I guess it was slow enough to mess up wifi calling. It turns out they upgraded the firmware around the same time I reflashed 5.0. It was more of a matter of coincidence. Try to have your internet provider factory reset your modem and re-tune the wifi channels.
I have same issue too.
I used LG Mobile support tool too.
my sd card wasn't recognized by g3 at first, so I format the card and now it works.. I just need to fix this wifi calling, and heavy battery usage...
also, when I go check setting, it's pretty much stuck on enabling... and when I mess with VoLTE toggle, sometimes I get error message, 99
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just got off phone with T-Mobile, tech support said, it's known issue, and temp fix is to get OTA via text msg and engineers are working on the backend to fix the issue.

I am having the same problem with the wi-fi calling....if anyone find out the solution please post
I got the problem resolved
I had the similar issue on my LG G3 after Android 5.0 upgrade. This is because of wifi calling upgrade from 1.0 to 2.0 included in this android update.
I called T-Mobile support and they reset the APN settings over the phone. Issue is fixed now. Great!:highfive:
Just call T Mobile support at 611 and you will get your issue resolved. ( Don't play around with your home router! )

Well when I called 611 they tried everything and I still had the issue, they were about to do a device trade in because they couldn't figure it out. Might work for some, not me though.
If any of you want to roll back to kitkat I found a website that showed how to do it and it worked. I am getting alerts to upgrade but will wait til the bugs are fixed
I can't post the link because I haven't made 10 posts yet but if you are interested message me for the link and then maybe you can post if you posted more than 10 times
i called tmobile about this they said LG is aware of it and is working on a fix, when i asked them about hte APN they said nothing they could do on their end....
Just curious, is wifi calling working for anyone after 5.0? I've tried a bunch of APNs no luck. Thanks

Yeah that's what I had to do. I had Time Warner factory reset it. I have the Tmo cellspot router hooked up to the TWC modem and it wasn't working initially either. After they reset it and tuned the signal mine started working with no hiccups.
Try turning wifi off and wifi calling off. Then turn wifi on and wifi calling back on then see if it will work..

I spoke to T Mobile today concerning the WIFI calling not enabling. They stated that they are aware and have been working with LG to get a fix. But there is no time frame for the fix. However, I have a work around that helps me out.
1. Go to settings >> Networks and tap Airplane Mode.
2. Wait for Airplane mode to enable, and, wifi states "Connections not allowed".
3. This is important! Read carefully. otherwise this will not work. While Airplane mode is enabled, enable wifi. Wait! When Airplane Mode goes from being gray to bold then disable Airplane mode.
4. Wait a few seconds and wifi calling will come one.
Mine did stopped working as soon as i upgraded to LP. Went into T-Mobile and got a new sim.

[Q] Cannot properly share Internet through tethering

Hi!
It's been a week since I've been using my ZenFone, and everything is quite nice (except maybe the fact that I had to manually enter my APN settings)... however, I have not been able to share my internet to my laptop via Wi-Fi, nor Bluetooth nor USB.
I know it's something to do with the phone, because this entire week I've had to carry around my old Nokia Lumia JUST for this purpose. Other than this, I've been enjoying full 4G LTE speeds and all. APN settings are correct.
Is there something I'm missing? Thanks in advance.

Really weird I have the 551 4gb ram 2.33ghz and works flawlessly. Really don't know what to tell u.
I have Asus Android USB drivers and there is a folder named tethering... I think you have to install those drivers...But as i know android doesn't need any drivers for tethering....Still i have provided you the zip file...You can try installing those drivers and then maybe try to tether your device...Please confirm the working of tethering/drivers if successful

Yeah, drivers aren't properly signed so I couldn't install them. I gotta enable that, so perhaps I'll try later... however, the problem is not that my laptop is not connecting to the Zenfone; it's the phone that is not letting any device connect to the Internet.
On Windows (Windows Phone, and iPhones and an LG that I've tested so far), it shows as a limited connection when using Wi-Fi or USB. I've attached a screenshot of these cases when trying to use my laptop.
Thanks again guys

Try this , it worked for me before for other Android phone.
Connect laptop via tethering , after connection disable data and enable again.
I haven't had any issues with the 551 1.8/4GB on the pre-root image.

I gave that a try, and didn't work. I think the phone is refusing to route anything to the Internet. I tried to make a simple DNS query and it refuses to respond; trying to use Google's DNS didn't work either. This is astonishingly weird.
EDIT: I've also just updated to 2.15 and problem persists, by the way.
Zenfone 2 could not tether with internet on Fido
I have the same problem with my Zenfone 2 4gb ram 64gb not getting internet access after laptop or other phone connected to its hot spot. My carrier Fido said there is no settings to get tethering to work, it should work automatically as long as data was working with the APN.
Cannot fine any help on resolving this issue, very frustrating since everything seems to work fine.
Problem Solved. Update your Zenfone to v2.18.40.12 for ZE551ML while v2.18.40.7 for ZE550ML.
This OTA update came out just recently in June and now tethering works on my phone plus a lot of upgraded features too.

WiFi doesn't connect

Hello Everyone,
My WiFi is not working at all even when I'm sitting next to the router.
But when I keep my phone on the router it connects and gets speed of not more than 5-10 Mbps
Already tried full stock locked the bootloader. many custom ROMs and kernels combo but nothing helped.
To me, it looks like a hardware issue but I might be wrong?

Wifi working fine on other devices? Could be router problem. If it's not then it's definitely hardware problem.
Have you tried the "disable IpV6" option in the wifi menu in OOS 4.0.3?

Wifi Turn Back On Automatically Not Working?

Has anyone else noticed that their device does not automatically turn on wifi on their home network anymore. With WiFi off, it used to automatically turn on shortly after entering my home. All settings are checked under wifi settings.

I think we're the only people in the world w/ this problem. Can't find squat after searching everywhere except this thread.
Somewhere along the way it started working again for me. Not sure how or why but you might try using the smart lock and reset your home location or add a few other locations around your home that would unlock it.

After a few months, mine started automatically connecting to WiFi again today.
I updated Waze beta and Android Auto, so that may have been the problem for me, because I think it started after installing one or both of those in previous versions. I highly suspect one of those two since I have them set to only use data when either is started.
