No device can connect to mobile hotspot

[Yahia15]

Actually it started with the phone resetting most of my settings to default like sound, display and such. now no device can connect to my hotspot. it says "network access denied".

when i restart my phone devices can connect but that lasts for like 2 minutes then devices automatically disconnect.

any solutions apart from factory resetting the phone?

I believe you have to unlock your hotspot..

Even if the hotspot is open, same error occurs

Sounds like your carrier is one of those that doesn't allow hotspot tethering on your current data plan, e.g. Three UK, and many US carriers charge extra for tethering. You may need to check with your carrier, and possibly pay an extra subscription tethering fee. You could try FoxFi.

We don't have this problem in my country , no charges or special fees for tethering. my hotspot was working find one day and then suddenly this issue popped up

Probably out of the blue your carrier realized they can make an extra buck or two out of you..
