PC drops off Android Hotspot - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have purchased a new HTC Desire 10 Pro running Android 6.0 (no updates required) and I am connecting my Windows 10 PC to the hotspot for internet access. For some unknown reason, the PC loses internet access periodically while connected to the hotspot. It definitely seems to be the fault of the phone because:
1. This never happened on the previous phone, it started happening as soon as I bought the new phone and installed the SIM in it.
2. When I try the same sim in a spare phone, it never drops out, so it's not the SIM/phone carrier or PC.
3. I also tried a different USB WiFi adapter in my PC and it still fails, so not the PC.
Any suggestions as to what I should do?

[Q] Internet Connection Mode Stopped Working

I've been using the latest release of Tesla Coil, which really is a great ROM and I have had no problems up until now.
I have been tethering just fine via USB, using HTC's Internet Connection Mode whilst we change ISPs, but for some reason this morning it refuses to work.
I plug in the USB cable, I get the prompt on the phone and select ICM and then... nothing! The device isn't detected by Windows 7 (it had been coming up as HTC Ethernet Adapter 9k, or something similar.)
I tried enabling it by going into Settings -> Wireless & Networks - Internet Connection Mode, I check the box, get the little Mobile Hotspot prompt and then ICM becomes unchecked again.
I'm pretty new to Android and really, I solved my problem by using Barnacle Wifi Tether, but I really want to learn why this has happened and how to fix it

Virtual wifi hotspot stalls when using Titan

I have two laptops and one LAN connection. Say I connect the LAN to laptop-1. Then I use Mhotspot software to turn that laptop into a virtual wifi hotspot and connect laptop-2 to that hotspot. This way I have internet on both laptops without any additional router. I'm using this method for 7/8 months now.
The problems starts when I connect my HTC Titan to that hotspot. I can't access internet on Titan or Laptop-2, even though they're connected. As soon as I disable wifi on my Titan, internet on laptop-2 starts to work again. But it doesn't work the otherway, means if I disable wifi on laptop-2, Titan still doesn't work. Wifi signal from Titan somehow stalls the network. I'm almost certain because I have an android phone too (Galaxy S). I can connect the galaxy and laptop-2 at the same time and both works flawlessly. But whenever I start Titan, the virtual network stalls. Galaxy shows its connected but can't browse, Laptop-2 shows its connected but can't browse, Titan shows its connected but can't browse. Is it something to do with windows phone? Or I'm doing something wrong.
Note, the Titan is new but the Galaxy is old and the galaxy never created this problem. I tried to connect the Titan alone to the network, but obviously it also didn't work.
Thanks for any help. I don't want to buy a new router just for Titan :crying: :crying:
Update
I have somewhat narrowed down the problem. The networks actually stalls soon after I open the the marketplace or resume any app download. If I browse through mobile IE or use the facebook/email app it seems to work fine. But after opening Marketplace, the network stalls within minutes.
And another clarification, I do not use any sim with my phone yet. I'm still not sure I want to use Windows phone as my primary device yet. So 2G/3G + Wifi issues, pointed in other threads is not an issue here. I don't have sim, so no chance of cellular data to conflict with wifi. I would really appreciate some help here!

It sounds like your PC is trying to use the phone as a modem, i.e. USB tethering. The PC routes packets out to your phone instead of going out over the ethernet or WiFi connection. Your carrier is probably blocking USB tethering, so you get no internet on your PC.
Disabling MTP disables the USB tethering, so that is why the problem goes away when MTP is turned off.
I can't verify this solution, but I would try to disable USB tethering. On my phone (stock verizon version running 4.0.4) this is done under settings/techering/enable USB tethering, which you want un-checked. I think this option is only available after you are plugged into PC.

[Q] Unable to connect via usb to computer (only charging)

Hello everyone,
I'm encountering problems with my S3. I have aokp_i9300_nightly_2013-06-15 rom installed.
When i connect my phone to my laptop using the factory usb cable, it only charges the device.
I tried removing kies and all drivers from my computer but it didnt help.
Also i dont see any options in my notifications area when i connect it. When i go to usb connection modes (MTP, PTP) i check/tick MTP but when i go back and go to the connection modes again, it is unchecked.
I have usbdebug enabled.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Samsung SIII tethering to Windows 8.
I have a similar problem tethering to a new Windows 8 laptop. Will the above suggestion apply?
I have recently purchased a Windows 8 laptop and I am having issues tethering my Samsung Galaxy S3 for an internet connection. When I try to tether via Wi-Fi the laptop shows 5 bars of connection strength, however, my laptop also advises me it is a limited connection and I am unable to access the internet.
I spoke to Samsung and they suggested downloading KIES, which I did. This did not change the situation as far as tethering via Wi-Fi, however, after carrying out a USB cable troubleshooting on the KIES program I did manage to get a connection via USB, but it is short lived and disconnects.
Tethering via Bluetooth is not successful at all.
Has anyone else experienced the same problem and is there an easy fix.
I am in a remote area which has good Telstra 3G coverage and rely on my mobile as an internet connection.
Any assistance would be welcomed.

Data connection not working when connected to wifi

Hi all,
i've got this big problem and i dunno how to solve it.
Stock rom, MIUI 12.0.3, no root, developer options active.
I ran into this annoying bug months ago, while trying to get my car's android auto working with my phone without using usb cable.
I managed to connect my Mi 8 lite with the car via wifi connection; made it enabling Android Auto developer options (otherwise it wolud let me connect only with cable). Unfortunately once connected everything doesn't work, because there is no data: while wifi is on AND connected, my phone doesn't "want" to use my mobile data, even if i force data use by setting "mobile data always on" option in developer options.
I noticed this is not a problem of my car's infotainmnet, infact it happens also if i connect my phone to my wifi network unplugging phone's line cable (and so internet data ) from my router. Also in this case, with phone mobile data always active, my phone will stay connected to my wifi (which has no internet) and won't use my mobile data.
Does anyone have any idea/suggestion or know what i'm doing wrong?
Thx in advance for reading
