Here is a problem that is bothering me a lot, My LG V10 keeps on automatically turns off the wiifi hotspot after a while. Even when there is like lots of devices connected to it, it stills turns off. It doesn't make a difference even when I set the automatic timeout to never. Why is this happening? How do I fix it?
Methods tried:
Reinstall android
Change hotspot password
change timeout time
Broadcast ssid or not
different password security (WEP/WPA2).....
I've got the LG Phoenix 2. Lower-end but same OS essentially. I've been having the same problem. I'm using a method right now that is working so far, you might try it.
I read through all of these posts and then thought of the idea that maybe it had something to do with the fact that my phone kept fussing at me because I was going over the data cap. I have a 64 gig data plan with AT&T and I just picked up this low end phone. The default setting for your data manager is 2 gigs. Every phone that I have had has fussed at me to the point that I would have to raise the cap in the data manager to get it to stop.
I don't need a data manager that's why I have a 64 gig plan. So I would just go ahead and raise it higher than whatever your plan is. You can access the data manager in the network settings. Just raise the line to whatever level you want.
I did a couple other things too that are probably unnecessary. I made sure that my phone is plugged in so that the hotspot doesn't run the battery down. But since it's an LG phone, the screen is likely to get hot so you'll want to turn down the brightness. Lastly, turn off screen timeout.
Still working...
