create access point for sharing internet.

Hi,

Since JB, when I share my internet connexion via wifi, my tablet connect on my connexion, get an adresse ip, but i can't access the internet.

any way to fix that ? It's my last bug with this JB update. It worked fine in ics by the way.

Thanks.

What happens if you change the security settings, any difference?

Have you tried to connect using a computer or another phone? Is it working then?

I've tryed with or without security, and I've just try with anoter phone (which was working also before) : same result...

Ok, then I recommend you to repair the phone software to see if that makes any difference:

Click on this link to get Sony PC companion: http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/

Start PC companion, start "Support Zone", start "Update phone software" and click on "Repair".

Follow the on-screen instructions.

Note that this repair will delete everything on phone memory so get a backup before starting the repair.

I hoped to find an other solution that this one, but I think I'll indeed do a full wipe of the phone to see if it change anything. I'll do that in the week end, and report back here Slightly_smiling_Face

Thanks for the answers !

before I wipe all datas, anyone can confirm that sharing internet via wifi hotspot is still working in JB ?

I don't want to do that for nothing Dizzy_Face

It doesn't helped xperia T user (http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/117983?start=20&tstart=0)

I didn't wipe anything.

I'm not the only one with this bug apparently. It looks like the xperia T bug, wich has been fixed with an update.

Is anything like this planned for xperia P ?

Any news on this ? Wiping all doesn't seems to help...
