Previously, I had no issues with AirMore on my Redmi Note 7. Recently, I can no longer connect by scanning the QR code. I've tried using another Xiaomi phone with the same version of Android and MIUI (both have Blokada as the only thing modifying their network), and it works properly with AirMore. I've also tried the method where you input your phone's local IP address to connect to its AirMore server. Works on the other phone, but not on this one.
I've also installed AirDroid, and it only manages to connect via the remote connection mode (over the internet), which limits you to 200 MB transfers in the free tier. So there's gotta be an issue with the phone isolating itself from the network. I do not remember modifying its network access in any way, other than using Blokada to block ads system-wide. I've tried uninstalling Blokada and it didn't help, while it works normally when Blokada is active on the other phone.
Can anybody help me diagnose what the heck is happening here?
Any help? I've managed to determined that the phone refuses all local incoming connections for some reason. I really can't afford a factory restore, I have so much installed and configured just the way I want it.

Hi,
Firstly I should introduce myself, my name is George, live in Essex and have a passion for cars and gadgets.
I've been roaming this forum since I had my first android device a HTC Hero and try and use search as much as possible rather than repeating other peoples problems but I am properly stuck with this one..
To be short,
Device Details:
Device: Google Nexus 4
Android Version: 4.2.1
Carrier: Orange (EE)
Problem: Portable hotspot is active and I can connect to it from various devices but there is no data pass through.
Solutions tried:
Changing the APN type to every possible solution mentioned (i.e consumer broadband etc)
Using both open and sercured sercurity on the hotspot
Connecting using everything from another phone to my Google Chromebook and all imbetween
I've read there has been mention of Orange blocking this but most people find this isn't the case and its usually fixed via the APN.
The only thing that looks slightly odd is that an ipconfig on my windows machine(s) shows 192.168.xxx.xxx yet the IP address displayed by my Nexus is 10.166.xxx.xxx and if I ping my Nexus's IP from my machine i do get a response.... (all when connected to the hotspot)
Even with a ip release/renew still picks up 192.168
So that is my issue....
I can't think of anything else bar a factory reset which i'd rather not do just yet so thought i'd ask here first I geuinely searched everywhere!
any help would be much appreciated....
Don't mean to bump this but if anyone could offer any advice it would be much appreciated!
Even if someone could just confirm they are using the Orange/EE network with the Nexus 4 and has it working?
Thank you!!
i'm also on orange (EE).
bummer. mine's not working either. i thought it was but i think i was connecting to my router's wifi instead.
i also tried bluetooth tethering but couldn't get that working at all.
A sort of "me too", here: I'm also an Orange (EE) customer who can't get WiFi (or Bluetooth) tethering to work. However, USB tethering works fine - just appears to install a RNDIS virtual Ethernet adapter, and then just works.
Using Wireshark, I noticed that DNS lookups (which use the phone as a DNS server/ proxy) actually work. However, SYNs for connections to hosts on the Internet go unanswered. I'm beginning to suspect that the phone just isn't forwarding packets from the WiFi interface to the cell interface (but no idea why)
As a sort of aside: I'm pretty sure this used to work on my Motorola Atrix via Orange.
Having the exact same problem, running CM10.1.
Have messed around with APN settings but does nothing, laptop connects phone and even shows as having internet access but trying to visit any site just times out.
I have tried the exact same hotspot configuration with a giffgaff (O2) sim card and it works fine, so it must be Orange!
I just bought a Nexus 6P, rooted it, and installed PureNexus (Android 7.0.0). At home my WiFi works perfectly fine but I have issues at work.
Little background on our setup at work, we have 2 different wifi networks. One is a guest network with certain sites blocked at the firewall but nothing else really unique. The other is the main network with no firewall restrictions but you have to install a certificate to allow SSL traffic to be decrypted. Without the certificate you can go to any non-SSL sites, but secure sites will not load.
I'm able to connect to the guest network with no problems, but anytime I try to connect to the main network my phone says it has no internet connection. I'm able to get to internal resources on our network and the web browser actually does allow me to go online, but other applications won't. I've tried without the certificate, tried installing the certificate as WiFi and VPN/Apps but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Before the Nexus 6P I had an iPhone, which worked perfectly fine on the main network with the certificate. The last Android I had was on KitKat and it worked fine with the network configuration at work. Other people with Android have no problems with the network, but nobody has Nougat, yet. Any ideas on what's going on here or what I can do to fix it?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or help you can give!
Hey guys I can't seem to find an answer to what I am trying to accomplish.
Firstly I have an android phone (Nexus 6 rooted) that I use with an app called VPN hotspot. This lets me connect all my devices to the rooted phone while using a vpn to bypass geo restrictions. This is great for the most part but alot of buffering happens (not always but still annoying)
I pay for my own DNS service (unlocator) and I use that to bypass geo restrictions via phone. Unfortunately you cannot do that with the Chromecast because Google hardcore's the DNS into the firmware. That means when I try to use a UK app while abroad the Chromecast checks it's location and the casting wont work. Blocking routing addresses (8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4) allows me to achieve what I want. Unfortunately I can't find an app or anything that would allow me to do that on my rooted phone.
I used to have a router (was stolen) that could block Google's DNS adding static routing addresses to it. I wanted to know can an app do that via phone before I go out and purchase a new router.
My ideal situation would be to use my rooted phone as a little wireless router, have an app block those addresses/DNS, run VPN hotspot app from here, connect my Chromecast and daily driver phone to the rooted phone and be able to cast like I did with the router. If anyone has any ideas or apps that work for this type of setup can you please let me know. I know I can go out and buy a new router but I see the potential in using my old phone as a router and thought maybe it is possible.
Thank you guys.
Got help via Reddit. It can be done.
Hello!
I have a bit of a weird situation here.
I have a WiFi router in a remote location that needs configuring (Linksys EA2750) as it lost its settings after a power outage. The person that could help me is technically challenged, but at least there is an Android phone there that I can access remotely. The phone is an un-rooted Nokia 5.1 Plus (still) running Android 9. This phone is connected both to the router via WiFi and to mobile data. I can remotely operate it via Team Viewer.
I have tried to use the router's official Android app, but it is unable to configure the router's WAN/Internet settings. I have tried to connect to the router's web admin page, but it is inaccesibile via the browsers (tried Chrome and Firefox). I have tried using a firewall app (Mobiwol and NoRoot Firewall) to limit the browsers to WiFi only without any luck.
The only thing that I think will work is to somehow force the browser to use the WiFi interface no matter what. I've already spent hours trying to find out how to do that, but I am kind of losing hope here. I am guessing that I might need root access to accomplish that, but I am hoping it will not come to that.
I would appreciate any help in making my friend's phone stay connected to Team Viewer's servers via mobile data and access the WiFi router's admin page simultaneously.
Thank you in advance!
Hi-
Just installed LineageOS 17.1 on my Moto G7. When I enable Hotspot, my phone loses mobile data altogether, and I can't get it back until I reboot. I can still ping google DNS servers (8.8.8.8). When I try to use Private DNS to dns.google, I get "couldn't connect". So, it seems like the hotspot is interfering with the phone's ability to resolve hostnames somehow.
Mobile data works fine all other times, and I spent a couple hours on the phone with my carrier, and there's nothing wrong on their end (phone also reports it's still connected to the LTE network).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Update:
Just did the August 16 update -- no change. Here's some more information:
When hotspot has killed internet access on mobile data:
I cannot ping any hostname (I cannot ping websitename);
I can get DNS resolution (I can resolve websitename to 172.217.9.196);
I can ping 172.217.9.196;
BUT, I can't get my browser to load a webpage with 172.217.9.196 (on my phone; it works on my computer).
I also appear to be connected to the local cell towers -- just can't get access to their internet.
None of this goes away when hotspot is turned back off, although if I turn wifi on, I can get access to internet again.
Weird stuff -- especially the DNS resolution that works but doesn't allow me to load a page.
Actually, it looks like I am NOT getting DNS resolution for sites other than google. Instead, I get something about a Canonical name ....
