Hi,

Odd issue.

when ever i enable tethering on my p9 lite i loose the abililty to use internet apps on my phone. ie google chrome bbc iplayer etc.

My phone plan allows tethering so this is not an issue where the provider is blocking the connection as my sim card works in my old p8 phone and tethering and internet access on phone works at the same time.

The phone is brand new and was once on the Vodafone network , it has since been unlocked to any network .

Any ideas what could be causing this ? . i have asked three technical support but they are useless.

Thanks in advance.

Ray

Welcome to Android Central! Is there any kind of data-saver setting or app on the phone that forces the phone to use wi-fi rather than mobile data? If so, then it might be confused when the phone's wi-fi radio turns on but is being used to broadcast a signal (rather than receive).
