With Android 6 the Wi-fi hotspot set up does not function "normal" on the Galaxy Tab S2 with Android 6. Other Android 6 devices do not seem to have the same problems:
1) The default hotspot name which on other devices can be changed by clicking on it cannot be changed and remains fix "AndroidAP". The same name can cause confusion/problems where several "AndroidAP" are in reach.
2) Instead of allowing to change the name the click on the name askes to select between "all devices" or "allowed devices only". I guessed that "all devices" would set up the hotspot without a password security and I selected therefore "allowed devices only". With this option the hotspot could not be connected with the correct password. Only by selecting "all devices" and defining a password the hotspot with the fixed name "AndroidAP" could be made working.
Hopefully there is someone from Samsung watching here who can initiate an update. Thank you.
P.S: My Galaxy Tab S2 has model no: SM-T817 (The Tablet was bought in Turkey. Could this even be a country specific feature?)
