After creating WiFi hotspot in windows 8.1, i am able to connect to internet but in between the connection pauses and i cannot receive data, nor PC neither my phone shows problem with connection, but no data is received.
Explaining further
1. I created hotspot in Windows 8.1 by the default method, and even tried connectify hotspot and some bunch of software.
2. When I connect my phone to the hotspot, the connection will be successful and i can browse, but after sometime data is not received but i can browse flawlessly in PC at the same time.
3. For Ex. say if i sent a message in Whatsapp from phone connected to PC hotspot, the message wont leave my phone, it will be there for a minute or two, and it will leave.
i updated my WiFi Drivers, tried a couple of third party applications, but no use.
But if i install any of the previous version of Windows, there is no problem like this.:crying:
My problem is different.
I can create hotspot on windows8.1. works perfectly fine in galaxy y gingerbread.
But I'm not able to use the same with lenovo a7 30 tablet with kitkat 4.4.
I can connect to hotspot but when other network shared to this it is getting disconnected.
Any solutions?

Hello everyone,
I have done some research on Google and with the forum search here, but couldnt find out if this is a known issue:
I am using WM pro 6.1 on a Samsung i780. The device has a working internet connection (Internet explorer, connection to exchange server ... all works flawlessly).
When I enable internet connection sharing and surf on the connected laptop this works for about 40 seconds to 10 minutes, then the connection breaks up. I haver to hit "Connect" again on the device and after 10 seconds I am connected again. Of course this is extremely frustrating.
I checked this behaviour with 2 different laptops, one running WinXP, another running Windows7.Same behaviour. So the problem must be with the device and internet connection sharing on the device. The connection is via USB cable, so it ought to be very stable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. What would be the next steps? What should I try to find out?
I actually know a bit how a computer works (I wrote an even rather successfull computer chess program a long time ago ) but this I can't solve. It is important for me, because I seldome use internet at home and if I can get this to work I dont need another internet connection (saves me 20 Euros a month!)
Thanks again!

to simplify
basically I can imagine the following steps to bugfix:
- is there a debug file in windows mobile 6.1. where it writes info about the internet sharing? then I could check there why it disconnects.
- if not, is there a utility for windows mobile which maybe allows more stable connections opposed to the built in connection sharing?
- should I try updating to 6.5.?
Again: Internet on the device/mobile phone ist stable (!). What disconnects is the "INternet Connections Sharing" even though that is via a USB cable(!).
Thanks.
Hi guys,
As you all no Wifi dropping is when your phone is connected to the router but not the internet, i.e. you can see the wifi symbol but webpage does not load.
I have got a suggestion: Turn your Laptop into a virtual Router using these softwares. This will work on pre-rooted phones also.
Connectify - http://www.connectify.me/
Paid service but the Lite version fully works on one phone. Havent tried to connect more than one.
Virtual Router - http://virtualrouter.codeplex.com/
Free and open Sourced. This worked perfectly on the first day, but when i put my PC on hibernate, its showing an error everytime I run it. Might work for you.
Maryfi - http://www.maryfi.com/
Free and ad-supported. Was too hard to setup. Iam going to try again some other time.
Note: All of the above works on my Windows 7 Laptop PC, not sure on Desktop PC or Mac.
Let me know here if it works for you. Add some more if I missed any.
Looking to use my phone at work with the (wired) internet from my PC. I have a galaxy S7 from Verizon.
I can't for the life of me figure out how to reverse tether the phone to the PC with a USB cable.
I have figured out THE ONLY WAY TO TURN ON USB TETHERING is to first turn on mobile data, and then "mobile hotspot and Tehtering-->USB Tethering" but I DON'T WANT TO USE MY PHONE AS THE INTERNET SOURCE, just the opposite!!!
If I do the above, I am able to turn off mobile data on my phone and it appears that the phone stays tethered to the PC...is this the proper procedure??
However the internet doesn't flow to my phone (or hasn't yet) and I also notice that the internet on my PC is dramatically slowed down...like a minute just to load google.com
Any help or ideas would be appreciated!
thanks
Look on github for a tool called: gnirehtet
Worked for me. Just requires ADB and runs a host on your PC.
(I'd post the link but have too few posts.)
Hi,
After update to 8.1 from 7.x I have a lot of problems. (These problems coming from restore a folder /data from 7.x version ...)
First that, my wifi doesn't work, so I have to remove one folder in /data/, and wifi start working.
Second problem, was about Internet - wasn't work, I remove one folder in /data/, and Internet start working
Now I have trouble with hotspot.
1) In developer settings I have option 'hardware tethering accelerator' when i turn it on, close developer settings, and open again - this option turns off
2) When I try to tether by Wifi/USB/BT I cant do this,
For example,
I turn off my phone internet, start wifi hotspot.
I see SSID, and I join to hotspot by laptop, I can do this.
After this I turn on internet in my phone, I'm still connected in laptop, but laptop dont have internet and I see a text 'ERROR' under 'turn on hotspot wifi' in tethering options
I think that I should remove one more folder, but which folder responds to tethering settings?
Best regards
I use MyPhoneExplorer to sync with a Windows 10 PC All seemed to work perfectly with the Android app over wifi.
The strange thing is today when I clicked sync on the PC it caused the Android app on the phone to start, as expected ... but then gave me a pop up msg that it could not connect. I checked and wifi was switched OFF, so was turn wifi on automatically, open network notification & wifi scanning, all turned off. So the phone should not be waking up when MFE on PC attempts to connect but something is obviously on & a signal is getting through from PC to activate the Android app, even though the data transfer channel is blocked.
How come? Is this a bug (Android or Essential)?
