I've seen a lot of posts with people having trouble with this, wondering if anyone found solutions. (The two solutions I found did nothing for me).
I have been running PDANet over the years to tether a variety of Samsung devices.
I am now trying to use the HotSpot function over TMo on a Samsung Galaxy Note running ICS.
When I launch the HotSpot, it says it's connected. The blue "activated" icon appears in the upper left of the screen.
On my Windows PCs, the name of the network shows up in my list of available networks. It asks for a password. Then the PC says it is unable to connect.
This has happened at home, and on the road - so it's not just "my" local cell.
I have consistently been able to tether, but the hotspot has never worked from the first I've tried it.
I do not have Bluetooth on. Obviously, WiFi is turned off.
I am running JuiceDefender, and have granted PDANet and FoxFi full override access. I have also turned off JuiceDefender, which has not made a difference.
I have tried changing both the network names and the passwords for the hotspot, and rebooted the phone after doing so.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both PDANet and redownloading the full access key.
This happens on multiple PCs running Win 7.
Any further suggestions would be groovy.
Thanks
