Why does there always keep being an error when I try to turn the portable hotspot on? It just says Error when I turn it on and stays off. It works again when I restart the phone. It's really annoying when I keep having to restart the phone every time I want to turn the portable WiFi hotspot on. What's causing this error and is it possible to fix without having to restart the phone?

Is this a carrier branded phone? I have the I9505G on AT&T and I can turn on and off the WiFi Hotspot without a problem (Even though I'm not paying for the plan, it must be skipping the entitlement check.)
My phone is a SIM free UK phone on 3's The One Plan that allows tethering. It just immediately disables the hotspot when I enable it and says Error when I go into the hotspot settings. Video: https://i.site647.com/SCR_20131005_161447.mp4
Did you managed to fix this?

Can you turn on WiFi only ? My Hotspot behaved exactly the same/
I could not do so either on a modified TW, but it turned out to be I flashed wrong kernel version. Flashed correct KT kernel and WiFi and hotspot came back.

No. I don't know whether or not it's an app I have or what that causes it to stop working until I restart the phone.

I don't have any problems with normal WiFi. It's just the hotspot that I have problems with. I am using rooted stock ROM and kernel. Android 4.2.2 and firmware build number JDQ39.I9505XXUBMGA

Maybe try wiping \system and reflashing the ROM. Only take a few minutes and may clear it up.
Very easy. You just have to turn on your mobile data before turning on the HotSpot, idk why does that happen, but I was really annoyed by that consequence before. I found a way and I hope it works for everyone too.
The solution that worked for me was
1. Turn on HotSPot
2. And then turn on Mobile Data
If mobile data is already on and then you try to turn on hotspot is when the error occurs.
I also have this problem on ASUS Zenfone Max Pro M1 non-root and non-modified. I have logcat reader installed on so I have so many logcat on this hotspot error (and hundred thousand of lines). I boot my phone on safe mode and the problem does not suffice so I made a conclusion that third party is the culprit and while also that may be the case, pie update might also the cause of it since I found bunch of system error on recovery mode.
Edit: The cause was on ASUS, they broke their root integrity with Pie update.

UPDATE - Problem sorted via philos64 thread at the top...
Should've tried that 1st, but posted here hoping someone would confirm that was the route to take, as it wasn't actually bricked... Never mind, all done..
Why??? Was out earlier so I turned my wi-fi off and my mobile on and everything was working fine..
When I got home, I turned the mobile off and tried to turn wifi back on, but it is hanging on 'Turning wifi On.'
Tried rebooted the tablet a few times and rebooting the router, (BT HomeHub 3), but still the same problem.
This N7 is rooted and running 4.2.2.
When I look at the Advanced Wifi the MAC and IP address are unavailable.
When I go into Wifi Analyzer it says the wifi needs to be turned on and tries but gets same hang and retries...
On the left of the analyzer it shows my Wifi ID with a mac address underneath with a yellow triangle and 'No Signal!' in red.
The wifi from the router is working as my phone is connected via wifi.
Any ideas please people ???
:crying:
going for the post with the most views and zero replies is not on my bucket list... So I'm going to reply to myself..
An Update....
The problem is still there, so I went into bootloader - recovery mode....Then I went into Android system Recovery.
I selected cache then wipe dta/factory reset.. Reboot then starts tablet as new with the unlocked symbol, then goes through the initial setup. Select language, then it does Select wifi and displays 'Turning on wifi'.. Hung...
Would flashing it via Nexus root toolkit sort out then problem... If so, any clues what flash and how...
If it wouldn't fix it... Is the tablet now bricked??
Please answer someone if you know..
Cheers
There have been several posts about wi-fi problems if the outer shell of the N7 is separated and not fully locked in. A loose or separated shell can cause a disconnect in the wi-fi antenna. Check for any separation and maybe squeeze the front and back together all the way around the outer edge.
I did read them and a lot of other threads but they were mainly to do with wi-fi looping and not connecting.... I couldn't find any other post regarding just 'turning it on'.... And seeing as it's sorted with just a flash of the stock rom, I can safely assume this problem had nothing to do with hardware...
Hence why I was surprised I was the only 1 with this 'type' of prob.... (but I didn't read every post so I may have missed one).
Same problem too

im experiencing the same thing. im using Samsung galaxy S4 i9505 LTE and on android 4.3/ rooted Baseband i9505XXUEMJ5. it happened when i was trying to erase all the bloatware on my phone using Trulyclean by schoolsux. after i flashed the script i started having this problem.so far ive tried to do a factory reset by using custom recovery, tried to download the modem fix and flashed it through odin and do the advanced settings on wifi and uncheck the auto network switch. The problem that i have is yes it say "connecting" for 2-3 minutes then it gives you a list of possible wifi connections and then you connect. another 2-3 minutes then it wont connect. repeat the steps and now i can connect, then if you turn off the wifi you will have to go through the whole process again. it doesnt save any wifi connections you have connected before. there are 2 other ways i havnt tried yet and that is to flash a different kernel. a custom kernel and reflashing my phone again with the android 4.3 then root:laugh: for the nth time already:fingers-crossed:

i have same issue with htc one x, my wifi doesn't wan't to turn on. it stuck on "turning on...", i tried to flash different roms, etc, now i think about flashing kernel, did you do that? did it help?
Same problem on N4
Have had the exact same problem not once but twice. One day it works perfectly fine. Next day, it just stops at turning on process.
On my N4 the 4.2 was working fine. Along comes the 4.3 OTA update and the wifi stops working. Does not startup or show the mac addr either.
Did factory reset, wipe cache and even reflash binary from google stock images. No relief.
One day, the wife using gmaps started the gps location service and pop the wifi started,
Now after the 4.4 OTA all seemed to work well till yesterday and pop the wifi breaks down. the earlier trick of gmaps does not seem to work. I think one of the google apps update is breaking this.
After rebooting also, the device seems to remember the wifi state and tries to read the previous history and restore for the startup. And that is killing.
Any idea how to debug this or to wipe the wifi logs or to manually start the wifi/bluetooth radio.. ya athe bluetooth is also stuck.
Thanks guys in advance
Where is the fix?

Hi Can you please send a link for the solution? i am still stuck with "wifi turning on" screen and cant seem to bypass it. No matter what Stock image i flash through Wug Toolkit.
i have got the same wifi errorrigictsi vanished
initially i had loaded my explorer with fly rom and everything waas working except the internal memory. i'm not even able to download at least an app and then i tried bulletsense rom for increasing the internal memory of my explorer. it's successful, and the memory increased. From there onwards, the problem started. the wifi first said error... but after reboot, it's all the time saying "turning on"..
by typing "ifconfing twlan0" it said no devices found... so i thought it might be some driver error. coueld any one port some other drivers to the below rom so that i can have both internal memory and wifi...
link to bulletsense rom ///d-h.st/xFr//// ( add https before /xxxx/)
here is a screenshot of it...///bit.ly/MMSeam///
any one please help me on this and give me a chance to raise your thanks meter...
sorry that i'm newbie and not allowed to post links.
Hey guys.. I faced similar issue in my AMOI 820 based Indian local device Micromax (rooted + custom kernal)
I fixed this stuck wifi problem by uninstalling Google apps in system by removing them using Titanium back up + and again installing them from playstore if needed.. Hangouts(in my case) if it's a system app after getting updated is the culprit .. Try removing it and reboot and test it yourself..
guess it working now!!
I was going crazy about this stuck wifi issue!!
I tried everything!! I found on the advance panel on the wifi
That the MAC address and the IP address is unavailble.
After many tries i think i fixed it!! Using:
Busybox and MacMan
MacMan changed my MAC address and now the wifi is no longer stuck!!!! Hope it will help you too. Peace

Might be that the WiFi antenna got disconnected. Or it completely broke.

I don't know. But when something worked fine before and then, for no reason, stops working, then it might be the result of a hardware problem.

sometimes I click on 'hotspot' and it turns off wifi
so I play with this..
turn on hotspot turn it off, then reboot the device and then wifi is working for like 10min and automatically tuns off and it stars again..
its barely working thats why I thought it might be system error.

System error should disappear when you flash another ROM.
Did you clean flash or dirty flash?
Also, if the problem persists I suggest flashing a stock ROM (clean flash) and see if it fixes Wi-Fi.

Hey guys,
im writing to you because my phone has a weird WIFI issue since i rooted it a hour before.
I can connect to my WIFI, but after about 30seconds, i get disconnect and i dont get any errors.
I have Android 7.0, installed the ElementalX 3.09 Kernel and installed SuperSU Version 2.78.
Should i try another Kernel or is someone having the same issue which can help me?
Thanks alot for a reply
Greetings
Update
Okay, the issue becomes weirder. If the screen is off, the WIFI works without problems. If i turn the screen on, the WIFI turns off after about 10 seconds...
Update: I resolved the issue myself. Reboot the phone, activate wifi, deactivate wifi, reboot the phone, go into recovery, delete cache and dalvik, turn off phone, turn on phone, go into wifi settings, delete every wifi (it doesnt work if i dont delete every wifi... sadly.) connect to the wifi which you want to connect to. Bam. You are connected. This worked for me. I dont know if this is logical, but i try to close the thread now. Everyone with the same issue can follow the instructions above
Hi there, I got an issue on the OOS 4.5.12 after 3 days of using it. I got the problem , that the button looks stuck. I can click it and it will change its own color, but it doesnt turn on my wifi. Now I know I can clean flash the update again, but In want to know if someone had/has this problem too, and if someone maybe knows a work-around.
Edit: So I tested the device furthermore and found out, that I can't turn my Wi-Fi hotspot on... Wiping dalvic/ART cache didn't work neither...
Strange.... I didn't have this problem at all.

Same until today ? I will try to dirty flash the update, just to see if this will solve the problem. If it doesn't work, then I will be switching back to 4.5.10 OOS
Sent from my OnePlus 5 using XDA Labs
When I got this error I found out it was because I flashed new firmware and used an older kernel which didn't support the new firmware. You should read your logcat and see if there is any clue there.
Hello. Calling for help!
I have the exact same issue except i am able to launch and use WIFI. When i try to enable portable hotspot it gets stuck on "Turning on". The hotspot button in the slider shows enabling but the hotspot never gets enabled. I was on OOS 4.5.15 and upgraded to 5.1.5 after which i restored only the DATA partition from TWRP. I am currently rooted. I tried with editing the build.prop file and restarted but the issue is persistent. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thank you for replying. I dug a bit deeper last night. Deleting the entire wifi folder from root and restarting fixed the issue.
I had a lot of problem with wifi after flashed a not stock rom. Nobody could me help until I find the solution. Tell me Jelly do you have mac address or it show 02:00:00:00:00:00?

Don't remember the thread where they were talking about this, but you should try the root process with disabled wifi.
After rooting you can turn it back on and it should work normally.

I would do a clean install, setup the phone, turn wifi off, flash TWRP and magisk, turn back on wifi.
