Wi-Fi tethering problems

Hello. I have a problem with my O1 Wi-Fi tethering feature. After enabling it, the mobile internet connection restarts (the data indicator turns off, then on again). My phone and connected devices don't have net. Only the up arrow of the icon blinks in white. After I disable the tethering, I have to restart the data connection to have net again... Any help????

[Q] Mobile hotspot issues and temp workaround

Hi I have Galaxy S II SGH-T989 on T-Mobile with Android 4.1.2 and Mobile hotspot plan paid for (phone unlocked).
After updating to 4.1.2 (official update) I started having issues with the mobile hot spot.
1) I turn on the hostpot in the morning
2) connect fine with my notebook
3) can’t get past the gateway, ipconfig release / renew, nothing, can't ping beyond the gateway
4) reboot the phone and go back to step 1 and 2, hotspot starts working fine, I can connect to the internet with no issues
5) I turn off the hotspot for the rest of the day to conserve battery
6) in the afternoon I turn the hotspot back on, same issue comes back, I can connect to the hotspot with my computer but no access beyond the gateway
Workaround I found
At this point I can turn on the Airplane mode, after it turns on, I turn it back off and then turn on the hotspot. Then I can connect and access the internet with no issues.
Its a major pain and annoyance to have to keep turning on and off the Airplane mode along with hotspot just to connect and access internet via my notebook. I have to do it twice a day for my commute.
Anyone else experiencing same issue?
Thanks

Turn ON torch via IP

Hi All,
Somebody have a any idea or hack for turn on the torch of an Android via IP?
For a wildlife photographic project I need to control the torchs of two old Android from my own Android. I will stay in the mountain, the old android have not SIM card (no 3G) and no bluetooth.
I have probing with Tasker and Wifi Zone:
- Turn ON Wifi Zone on my phone
- Tasker switches the light when the new Wifi is detect.
This works, but fail too much:
- Is very slow (when I activate Wifi zone) the other phones takes about 30 seg - 3 min on detect and connect.
- In one or two hours the devices tend to sleep and not connecting anymore
I think what the most usefull will keep the phones connected at my phone via Wifi Zone and controlling the lights via IP with tasker or similar.
Any suggestions are wellcome.
Thank you.

Wifi problem on CM12.1

My wifi doesn't automatically connect when a known wifi is in range unless and until I turn the screen on. Means when it's sleeping, it won't connect to any known wifi. If its already connected to a wifi network and if the screen is turned off after that, it stays connected. But lets say power goes off and wifi disconnects because of turning off of the router. When power comes back, and router is automatically switched on, the phone doesnt reconnect automatically when in standby. It connects immediately as soon as I switch on the display. Wifi scanning, keep wifi on during sleep and all those options are enabled. But it still doesnt automatically connect to any known wifi when in standby...I have to turn on the display for that.
Any solutions?
Same issue on lg g3 and xperia z2

Huawei Y360 U61 Wifi Keeps disconnecting

My phone wifi remains connected for 2/3 mins.I can only access internet for couple of mins,after that although wifi shows connected but I don't have internet access.
But I simply cant reconnect again.After I disconnect and try to connect it says connecting and then nothing happens.
The only way I can get connect to WiFi is by turning off/on airplane mode or restarting device.
So in Short
I am able to turn on WiFi and see available WiFi but cannot connect.
After I turn off/on airplane mode I cant connect to WiFi and I get internet access for like 2/3 mins and then again airplane mode thing.
About my phone
It has WiFi NVRAM and IMEI errors.Whenever I reset I have to remove the error by replacing files( https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730486)
I have the exact same problem with the same phone. Except the NVRAM/ IMEI errors, I don't know what those are.
