Hotspot turns off as soon as it was turned on

Help Fairphone 6
1

Hello,

yesterday I realized, my hotspot turns off, as soon as I turn it on. This only happens, when the WiFi is on and connected.

This hasn’t always been the case, so I assume it got introduced with a software update.

Can anyone of you guys reproduce this?

Thanks!

In which country is this happening?

I’m based in Germany.

Now I think of it on my Fairphone 5 the WiFi symbool disappears when I start hotspot.
I can’t test it at the moment.

I’m on a FP5 (stock OS, A15, VT2F.C.065) as well, just tested: Connected to my home WiFi, creating a WiFi hotspot does not turn off my WiFi/ does not remove the WiFi symbol.

I don’t own a FP6, sadly can’t test there

Also, if I have Wifi off, turn Hotspot on (it stays on) and then activate Wifi: The Hotspot gets deactived as soon as I connect to the Wifi Endpoint.

Can confirm this. It’s the same with my FP3: when Hotspot is chosen, the phone switches to LTE. When Hotspot is turned off, it switches (after a short delay) back to WLAN.
