Hotspot (wifi tethering) doesn't work after nougat update - Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
Hotspot was working regularly before nougat. But after nougat update wifi hotspot feature doesn't work. It opens. Computer connect it. But there is no internet connection. Google chrome error code is: DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_BAD_CONFIG
There can be internet connection maybe 1 of 10 trying.
Is there any suggestion to fix the problem? I made factory reset. But situation is same.

Works for me as well. I had that problem when I was still on MM and got rid of it after upgrading to Nougat and wiping everything using Flashtool.

[Q] Wifi suddenly not working on Cyanogenmod 7

Hi all! I've recently installed cyanogenmod (probably 4 weeks now), and I am loving it.
Everything seems to be working fine, then a few days ago my Wifi couldn't detect networks anymore.
I tried rebooting and to no avail.
Any advice would be most appreciated!
Thanks!
If it is only having problems with one Wifi network, chances are it's the network. (reset password/restart router/change channel the routeris on/or encryption)
If it happens with several wifi networks. Back everything up and reflash with that ROM again.

You can try install everything again or try install a file wifi fix...
do you have a link for the wifi fix?

[Q] Wifi does not work after upgrading to ICS

Upgraded Galaxy S2 to latest ICS update available in India.
But after that Wifi is not working properly. WAP2 authentication is not happening properly.
Wifi analyzer shows good signal strength.
No notification for wifi shown in top bar. But in notification dropdown wifi is full green.
tried battery remove, wifi sleep policy change, password change and *# code to reset driver.
Any other help?
thanks

Are you sure the password you entered is correct? Because this problem shouldn't occur if you're on the official firmware and kernel. This MAY happen if you're rooted and have a custom ROM installed which is in a BETA state. This is normally a problem related to the kernel itself. You should probably try restoring your phone if the WIFI doesn't work at all. Or maybe you can restart the phone again and there might be a fix.
doing a factory reset also might help... it helped me in my case.
which from you upgrading ,via KIES or ODIN.try to download firmware then flash via ODIN.i m had the same case first time come to ICS.
sorry for my bad english
Some solution
I updated using Kies.
BTW, I have some work around, for anyone interested.
On wifi router disable WEP encryption (not WPA), in that case S2 can connect to wifi properly.
But when WEP encryption AES or any other is enabled, it cannot connect to wifi.

GAPPS / Google server problem?

Everything was working fine till 2 days ago but now that I have wiped my phone. No matter what Nougat ROM and latest 7.1.1 GAPPS I try, i keep getting this error when trying to add a Google account.
"there was a problem communicating with google servers. please try again"
I tested with older opengapps packages too but didn't help. Also tested with both WIFI and 4G thinking it might be my connection, but same thing happens.
Any solution?
Workaround: After hours of trial and error the only way I got it to work was to remove my Australian SIM card. Activate on WIFI only using a US VPN to make the phone think i am in the US. Not sure what Google is doing here.. The US VPN wouldn't work with my Australian SIM left in there with data off.

Question How i solved my wifi issues on my s23Ultra

I pre-order my galaxy s23U so I have this phone from the beginning.
I didn't have any problems with wifi until February security patch update.
My wifi is wifi 5 (no 6 ) so I couldn't find any excuses for my disconnections on wifi.
When I realized the problem I tried to fix it running galaxy app booster from galaxy guardians, but didn't work.
1)Restart didn't work.
2)Format wifi cache didn't work ,so last step was to Hard reset my device or re-download rom and flash it from Odin....
3)As soon as I don't know how to flash rom from Odin I hard reset my phone and wifi problem solved...
