Hi, hope I've posted in right place apologies if not!
I can connect devices to my phones hotspot no problem but for some reason the connection/speeds between my phone & PS4 is really low. D/load sits approx 400 kBps and u/load 3 mBps (wifi or USB). I have tried alternating the bandwidth on phone (2.4 & 5ghz) and different channels but no improvement.
Normal tests on phone's 4g (EE) sit around 60/15 mBps.
My previous phone (s6 edge on O2) comfortably worked around 20/4 mBps. Issue is def between Mate 10 Pro & PS4.
Any help gratefully received!
That's very strange, have you tried another device say laptop to see what speeds you are getting?

When the home other devices work fine, speeds nowhere near as high as phone's 4G on its own but decent enough ~10mb. At work at minute and signal not strongest but ipad still registers ~4MB download when on hotspot. Still plenty more than PS4 gets. Huawei tech support no help, just passes me to network provider.
From Huawei perspective it's not a Mate Pro fault as it works with other wireless device fine. I will test my PS4 today and report back on my speeds.

I do suspect it's something to do with my handset not necessarily the phone model just hoped they may offer some light as to where I should make changes etc.
Thanks I'll be interested to hear what you get and maybe if you could let me know what the settings default too when you connect so I can check that be great!
hotspot and mobile network functionality issues
For some strange reason when the mobile hotspot is turned on the mobile network on the phone which allows me to send text messages and make phone calls seems to fail. Has anybody experienced the same problem? Well I'm previous phones I can have a hotspot on and have up to 4 maybe more devices connect it and still be able to use the phone at the same time, i e: text messages, phone calls, multimedia messages, playing online games on the phone, looking at videos on the phone, even the internet. I think it may be the mate 10 Pro because I have not experienced this problem with any other phone.
Iam experience the same problem I tried everything . nothing helps. I see that iam broadcast my hotspot wifi signal. But no device can connect.
No worry brother, I just back from huawei services center and they well notice Hotspot issue and promise will fix it on next update.
Hello everyone I'm hoping to get some help I have an LG v30 but I purchased a few months ago it is the unlocked version from B&H Photo I use it on the Verizon network I use the hotspot daily. Here is my question for you all what is the range of the hotspot my phone has to be within 10 feet of my smart TV or any device that I am trying to let them use my Wi-Fi is this the average distance or what am I doing wrong my previous phone was a Samsung Galaxy S5 useing foxfi I could take my phone outside and go about half a block away and the TV would still have the connection now I can barely leave the room with my LG v30 without it spooling can anyone help me if there is a setting to make the signal stronger in the developer settings or something?
So just gave this a try using my V30 (H932) and WiFi Analyzer on a LG G6. Within 5 ft, the signal strength was -45db. At 30ft, unobstructed, it was -70db. Still usable but getting on that edge of dropping connections. I would guess that phone designers have limited the distance for a hot spot more for security and power reasons than prior generations of phones.
One thing you can check is under Settings->Tethering->Configure Mobile HotSpot you can change the broadcast channels. If you going for distance, stick with 2.4GHz only as it will have better range. You should also check to see what channels are being heavily used in your area using a tool like WiFi Analyzer and manually pick a different channel so nobody else is stepping on your signal.
My LG V40 Thinq works very well in almost every situation. But it has a ghost
All of a sudden, while just walking around the house carrying the phone, the Verizon Woman speaks out clearly and says "Verizon" and then the phone goes silent again. I spent a few hours on the phone with VZ, they had me remove a few apps, but nothing has changed.
I have FIOS which is wired to an Orbi router in AP mode. Additionally, I have two Orbi satellites. I've set up a Bxxx network and a guest network on the FIOS router and on the Orbi. The satellites have access to the same networks. Actually I end up with Bxxx 2.4 and Bxxx 5Ghz. AND I have guest 2.4 and 5Ghz.
I live in an apartment building in NYC in which there are about 90 active routers - no way to find a nice "empty" channel. It was built in 1903 and the walls are unbelievably thick. This is why I need both the router and the satellites.
I think I've isolated the circumstances under which the "Verizon" voice speaks. When I'm moving around, or even when I go from one room to another, the phone may find a stronger signal and switch networks. So in one room it is on guest 5 Ghz. I go to another room, the phone announces Verizon, and when I check the network connection it has moved to guest 2.4 or Bxxx 2.4. During this switch I maintain a connection on a call and wouldn't know anything happened if Verizon didn't announce herself.
It is possible that switching connections has to do with an effort to level the load. One end of the house has many more connected devices than the other end.
Can anyone tell me how to turn off the interupting Verizon Ghost Voice which seems to be notifying me of something...? I'm receiving very few notifications but still haven't been able to track it down.
Good day, everyone!
I recently attempted, but failed, to utilize my mobile hotspot to connect a friend's phone to the internet through the 5.0 GHz AP Band. The hotspot shuts off after around 7 or 8 seconds when the AP band is set to "5.0 GHz". For my hotspot to not automatically switch off after about 7 or 8 seconds, I had to resort to utilizing the "2.4 GHz" AP frequency.
I really want to utilize the "5.0 GHz" AP band on my mobile hotspot without having to worry about it shutting down every 7 or 8 seconds, since, although I realize that I will be limiting the bandwave to a smaller region, I will be getting better speeds for my mobile hotspot connections in return.
I read a potential fix posted on this oneplus thread (https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/wifi-hotspot-5ghz-not-working.959323/) that sadly didn't work, and provided you have ADB, the major steps outlined were as follows:
1. Connect ADB to your phone
2. Run adb shell settings get global tether_dun_required
- Take note of the value you get (I believe I got "null" the first time around)
3. Run adb shell settings put global tether_dun_required 0 - restart your phone to get 5.0GHz tethering
If it's important to know, I'm running build 11.0.1.12.DE18CB (OxygenOS) on a T-Mobile variation (DE2118) that has been rooted using Magisk.
If anybody is having this difficulty, or if anyone knows how to repair the problem, it would be much appreciated if you could respond to this thread.
Thank you very much.
Hotspot being all ****ed up and barely working is a long standing "feature" of OnePlus even on qualcomm, and Nord has definitely got the worst of it.
On my device (DN2103_11_A.20), the 5Ghz setting is ignored entirely, it always opens 2.4Ghz hotspot.
Weirdly enough, it does that even while being connected to 5Ghz AP at the same time which I didn't think was even possible. On most mediatek phones, if you use wifi connection, hotspot will insist on sharing its band - ie hotspot band is forced to the channel of the AP the phone is connected to and relaying internet from.
The 2.4Ghz hotspot on Nord2 runs very flaky (only ~5mbits to LTE connection running at 50mbits for the phone itself). Moreover, when not using LTE, but phone is connected to wifi (regardless of whether 2.4Ghz or 5GHz) that is relayed to "forced 2.4Ghz" hotspot, that wifi uplink will become flaky too: 500Mbit/s -> 5mbit/s on 5Ghz, 50Mbit/s->5mbit/s on 2.4Ghz AP. Meaning if you use your phone as range extender, internet will be severely slowed down on the phone itself, and become almost as sucky as it is for hotspot clients.
To top it all off, the issue of "disconnecting after 5-8 secs" occurs randomly for me even on 2.4Ghz, typically in AP relaying situation on same band as explained above. The hotspot toggle is not switching itself off in the UI though - the hotspot AP SSID disappears from the air, as if wisi baseband were repeatedly crashing or something.
The only workaround I know of is to disconnect from wifi, disable hotspot, enable LTE, enable hotspot, let people connect and *then* finally connect to wifi (which "reroutes" hotspot clients from LTE to my wifi uplink).
I don't see how DUN could be related at all here.
tl;dr: Don't bother with 5Ghz hotspot, since the wifi driver is so utterly broken for hotspot it doesn't matter which band you use.

Thank you for your reply ezdiy.
It is terrible to realize that OnePlus has a persistent problem with this, but considering the number of discussions I noticed about this issue (5.0 GHz hotspot not functioning), all on diverse OnePlus devices, I am not surprised. In addition, I wonder why "Nord" may have suffered the worst of such a condition.
The problem you suffer from is unusual. I wish I could assist you, but sadly, I am no expert in these things.
It is interesting, since, it appears that there are some circumstances in which my 5.0 GHz hotspot performs well (Doesn't switch off automatically after 7/8 seconds) and other instances in which it doesn't. Does anything like this happen to you regarding the phone hotspot, where it works better in some circumstances than others?

My apologies for confusion, as I missed your device is N200 (Snapdragon chip, on those hotspot doesn't suck as badly).
My device is Nord 2 5G 12G/256G (Mediatek Dimensity 1200). It's still interesting to compare notes about the hotspot bugs across diverse array of chipsets, though.
This at least hints its something wrong going on in OxygenOS itself.

I could tell where you were coming from, ezdiy, so don't worry.
At a first glance, I noticed that the OnePlus 6 and, as you mentioned, the OnePlus Nord 2 5G are both affected by the 5.0 GHz Band issue. However, there appears to be a general Mobile Hotspot issue among OnePlus devices, as evidenced by the OnePlus forums (From the OnePlus 5, to the OnePlus 8 Pro, OnePlus 9, and OnePlus 10 Pro 5G, among many others) and the OnePlus Reddit (Ex: OnePlus 7).
I'm genuinely curious as to what the issue is. It could very well be OxygenOS, as you suggested. Regardless of the issue, I'm curious as to how long it will take for OnePlus to truly resolve such widespread problems.
I have been an Apple user since BlackBerry died with their BlackBerry 10 OS. I have actually never touched an Android phone or even checked the OS and I don’t know someone with an Android to test stuff.
I was looking for a mobile hotspot (MiFi) device and these things are not just as expensive as good Android phones but also not good for many reasons as being limited to a few bands making them good for use in a region but not the other and I do travel often and the fact all it does is be a hotspot.
I was thinking Pixel 5 or Pixel 6/6a but I wanted to know how is Pixel when it comes to doing hotspot.
I ask because iOS suck at it because:
It times out when traffic stops and turns off and no way to stop that from happening
iOS devices which is what we mainly use, won’t sync with iCloud if connected to an iOS hotspot
iOS forces AP Isolation meaning devices connected to a hotspot can’t cross communicate over local network or see each other (which is bad for streaming devices like Google TV/Apple TV)
Carriers can easily enforce a limit on number of devices connected or even disable hotspot altogether but I heard this is not as easy for carriers to do on unlocked Android phones, and also can still be gotten around with third party apps without root (?)
I’d expect a Pixel can give advantage over a mobile hotspot device because I can use phone data plans and not be restricted to just mobile hotspot/tablets data plans. It also is a phone so serves as a backup phone.
So my question is:
How is the hotspot feature on Pixel 5/6
Is there any speed restrictions or they fast as data comes in
Is AP Isolation forced or can it be disabled
I believe I can disable the auto timeout, right?
What is the maximum number of devices can be connected at once over WiFi?
Is 5 GHz stable on it? I know it isn’t on iPhone 13 Pro Max
1. It serves me pretty well. A12/13 is pretty vague in the settings :/
2. I've been able to pull my full cell bandwidth through hotspot, though I tend to stick to PDAnet as this hides my limited hotspot usage. It is slower but worth.
3. TBH I've never heard of AP Isolation, I just assumed it created one WAP.
4. I've never tried but I imagine as many as one subnet can fit (so 255? But tell me you'll have over 10 and I'll be impressed)
5. Yep! Though I tend to keep to 2.4GHz as this lets me sling off of 5GHz wifi networks as well.
Works pretty good for me, if you're root and want to get a few extra functionality you might want to try out vpn hotspot
