The Portable Wifi Hotspot feature was working on my Nexus S (actually on Fido/Rogers in Canada) when I first got it 4 weeks ago.
About 2 weeks ago though it stopped working.
Basically when I turn on the Portable Wifi Hotspot feature, the 3G symbol (and signal ) disappears and there is No Internet.
a wifi device (I am testing with an iPad) sees the hotspot but does not get any service.
I have tested this with the service provider by swapping my SIM into their identical Nexus S.
Portable wifi hotspot works fine on their phone.
With their SIM in my phone, it still doesn't work.
and we have carefully compared settings to make sure they are identical.
I have also done a Factory Reset under Privacy settings, but the problem remains.
when I disable the Portable WIfi Hotspot feature, the 3G symbol returns.
So, it appears to be a problem with the phone.
Before I hand it back for the 10 days a repair or replacement would take, has anyone else encountered this problem?
