Q10 won't run mobile Hotspot

My Q10 won't run mobile Hotspot anymore. How come?

I use the mobile hotspot feature all the time with my Q10. I was going to upgrade to 10.3.1 but definitely will hold off for the foreseeable future until this update gets fixed. I'll just wait a little longer and won't upgrade until this bug is definitely squashed in a future update.

How can it be the Mobile Hotspot feature worked, failed, and then worked again?

I am having a love hate relationship with my Galaxy S3. The latest experience happened when I arrived at the beach expecting to connect to the Internet through a mobile hotspot established on my Galaxy S III; but that was not to be. When I turned on my Macbook it could not find the mobile hotspot named Cavanaugh established a half hour earlier with help from a Verizon Wireless Sales Consultant, and all devices were allowed to connect. What could cause this inconsistency!
I went home and as I customarily do I plugged my cell phone into its charger. The battery had 44% capacity left, I like to recharge to 100% at the end-of-day, so I recharged the cell phone to 100%. Guess what? With the cell phone battery fully charged the mobile hot appeared on my notebook, and I connected the notebook to the Internet through the cell phone.
Has anyone else had a similar experience? How much battery juice is needed to run mobile hotspot?

While I am unsure how much battery is "needed" to run the hotspot, the battery WILL drain faster when the hotspot is active. Quite possibly, the phone will deactivate the hotspot when the battery falls below a certain level.
This is the reason I ONLY have my hotspot turned on when I want to use it. I don't see a reason to have it active when not using it, along with the "possibility" of someone hijacking my signal in order to use my data stream without having to pay for it.

New iPad won't connect to Mobile Hotspot using WPA or WPA2

I have a new iPad running iOS 6.01. It connects to wifi networks perfectly. I also own a Blackberry 9790 that is capable of running a wifi hotspot. When I try to connect my iPad to the mobile hotspot when WPA or WPA2 Encryption is used the iPad cannot connect. If I change the Encrypstion to WEP I am able to connect the iPad and wifi works on it.
Is there a reason the new iPad won't connect to a mobile hotspot that's using WPA/WPA2? Is there a way to resolve this issue?
I am able to connect my MacBook Pro to the mobile hotspot using WPA/WPA2 so I know that it's not my phone or the hotspot not working properly.
Thanks

It appears as though I fixed my own problem...I hadn't yet tried restarting my blackberry or my iPad since I had been trying to setup the mobile hotspot and connect the iPad. Anyways, I restarted both devices and then tried connecting using WPA/WPA2 and it worked.
iPad is now connecting to my mobile hotspot using WPA/WPA2 with no problems.
Maybe try doing the same if you haven't.

HT202157 I run my apple tv on a mobile hotspot network with limited data. How can I keep the apple tv from automatically updating.

I travel fulltime and use a mobile hotspot for my internet access. I use my apple TV mainly to be able to stream movies to my TV. Since the 6.0 update I can no longer controll when I update the Apple TV. This is more than an inconvenience since the auto update has caused data usage overrun and higher phone bills. At $10/gbite this not a cost efective for a minor update. Is there a way to turn off the auto update feature of the Aple TV?

CS3 installs but won't run

Ok - not sure if this goes in this section or not.. but it's a technical question.
My b/f bought me a Dell Laptop last week. It has the recommended minimum of everything adobe says it needs for photoshop CS3 (see below for 1721 specs)
When I installed it on the laptop - it was slow, but said it installed. But when I go to open up Photoshop, it opens the screen - and then just hangs. After about 5 minutes it says not responding and I close it. Any of the other programs that came with won't even get that far. I click on them and it gives the little "thinking" circle (as I call it.. lol) and then nothing.
I have read that CS3 has issues with Vista - but their site says the home premium should work. I've also read about 64 bit issues.. but the OS is 32 bit - so it's capable of running 32bit systems... I guess.
I called adobe yesterday after installing and reinstalling CS3 15+ times... with the same issue. I was on the phone for about 2 hours with them. Basically - they have NO CLUE what it would be since it installs fine and opens with no error messages. I checked the log files and there is nothing in there I see that says any kind of error.
I have disable windows defender, uninstalled McAfee and google desktop (all are known to cause issues with CS3), I have ALL non MS startup services turned off.. I have turned off the MS users control.. all suggested by the adobe tech.
I have installed using the run as administrator. Nothing. Created a new admin account and installed on that user and opened on reg admin account. Nothing. (again typical things that correct cs3 install issues)
The last thing the guy said was that it might be a video issue. I checked and there aren't any issues mentioned and no driver updates listed.
We tryed installing this on my b/f's laptop. He bought the exact one I have (except his is red.. mine blue.. lol) and it does the EXACT same thing...
So today we called dell. they say it's a software issue and won't answer any questions for free. Apparently only hardware support is free... But they won't accept this is a hardware conflict with the software..
errrrr
Anybody have any clues on this?

Rob - thanks for taking a stab at this.
I have tried installing from the DVD and also from the zip file. the zip file was extracted to the hard drive brfore I ran it - and I ran it as administrator.
And when it stalls - it gives the (NOT RESPONDING) tag on the window - which usually means that even if I leave it (and I have for up to 20 minutes) - still nothing.
Here's the update from my dealings with DEll today...
Dell tech support guy told me that it was a know issue that CS3 WON'T run on Vista and that Adobe is working the issue
Told them that I knew others that were running it on Vista and it worked fine. They had no answer.
Then I waited for the Technical support manger to call. This is after expressing my displeasure to the technical supervisor about them trying to pawn this issue off on anyone else but themselves. Why can't they go grab a 1721 off the shelf and replicate the issue and try to figure it out from there?!?!?!
I used to work on a network helpdesk.. if I tried to pull that crap answer without trying to replicate the issue and AT LEAST try to find an answer.. I wouldn't have lasted very long at all!!!!
The Tech manager told me to call customer support and ask for an OS swap (from vista to XP) because they don't know what the problem is and so it muct be a Vista compatibility issue
I call customer support. They say that they no longer will give out XP since it is a step backwards. And to install XP on the machine ourselves (even a liscensed copy) would void the warranty. They suggest I talk to sales about swapping the laptop out with a "more compatible" one. Which isn't a totally bad idea since I really do think it is an AMD/ATI conflict.
They transfer me to Sales.. ohh - you used the Employee Purchase program.. you need to talk to them.. and they transfer me.
The EPP people tell me.. ohhhh you didn't actually go through us since you bought it off the Dell Outlet store. So they transfer me.
The dell outlet store says they will be more than happy to swap me out to an Intel based machine.
Only catch is the Intels are more expensive. They don't have any for the price we paid for the amd's. Fot about $40 more I can get one with a slower processer, a gig less ram, no dvd writer, but with a 160gb hd. To get compatible to mine - would be about $150 more.
And they only have silver in the low end, and black or brown in the higher. Not that I really give a s@!t what the color is.. but it brings up the main reason I am sooo pissed abput all of this....
Why should I have to pay more money, settle on doing without option/features want/need.. just because THEY don't want to take the time to figure out what the real issue is?!?!?! Why isn't it them doing these calls and doing all this troubleshooting.. Why am I being peanilzed for THEM not wanting to do their jobs....
Told the B/F that I am done with Dell. That I don't want the laptop anymore and I don't want any other one from them. He says he'll pay the extra and get me the other one.. but that isn't the point....
Not sure what my next move is.

Samsung LTE Mobile Hotspot PRO USB cable connection to Mac

I am trying to connect a Samsung LTE Mobile Hotspot PRO via USB cable to my Macbook and iMac. I can see it in the System Information, but it does not show up in the Devices in Finder. Is there a driver that I need? Does it exist (yet)?

So I was able to get USB tethering to work, but I still can't connect to the hotspot as a media device (and view what is on my microSD card and/or the device).
Here's how I got USB tethering to work: I plugged into my laptop running Linux, where both USB tethering and mounting as a media device work fine, found the Mac OS driver on the device, copied it over to my Macbook, installed, rebooted, wirelessly connected to the hotspot, configured for USB tethering, went to Open Network Preferences..., connected to "SAMSUNG Mobile Device". I did all this after talking to Samsung on the phone, where they told me the driver does not exist yet....

"No Internet Access" on connected device with mobile hotspot

I've been on Verizon for 2 weeks. Note II on a Family Share Plan with lots of data. Using the built-in Verizon Mobile Hotspot application. Connecting from my work laptop, which is Windows 7.
Set it up and everything worked fine for a week and a half. I had no problems connecting or accessing the internet from my laptop. It worked fine Monday morning. Monday afternoon my laptop started giving me the warning message "No Internet Access" when connecting to the phone's hotspot. I'm in a 4g area where the hotspot has worked previously. I've tried several times in several different 4g locations as time allowed over the last 2 days, and I have not been able to get to the internet on my connected laptop again.
While connected to the mobile hotspot I ran Windows troubleshooter and it tells me that there is no DHCP server available, and that the default gateway for this network is unreachable. My laptop has no problems reaching the internet via the wireless network at work or at home. The laptop connects to both of those wireless networks every day (both before and since this problem appeared.)
I have rebooted both the phone and the laptop, with no change in the problem results. I renamed the hotspot, and connected to the "new" hotspot from my laptop, with no change in the problem results. I have tried running "ipconfig /renew" from my laptop while connected, and that is when it tells me that it cannot find a DHCP server for this network.
What broke? How can I fix it?
I'm still in the 100% refund return period on my contract and phones (for another day or so.) This is an absolute deal-killer. Hotspot on my phone is the single reason why I switched networks.
* Revised 2/28:
This morning I turned on the mobile hotspot feature on my wife's Galaxy S3 (on the same Verizon Family Share Plan.) Then I connected to it from my laptop. When it connected it said "limited internet access" for about 30 seconds, and then that warning went away and I had full access. I surfed for a moment to confirm, and all was working. I turned off the GS3 hotspot and turned on the hotspot on my Note II. When I connected to the Note II's hotspot from my laptop I still had no internet access. I left it for 3-4 minutes, and it never switched on. I tried surfing and got only error messages in my browser.
All of this was while sitting at my desk. So I believe I have ruled out the laptop as a cause for this problem.
Thanks in advance,
Randy

After I posted the above in February I talked to Verizon support. They could not resolve the problem. They replaced the phone, and the new phone has worked for months. My work schedule changed a bit, and so I started using the hotspot less often.
Last week I noticed that after I connected my laptop I had a longer delay before it would change from "No Internet Access" to giving me access. Yesterday morning it was so slow that I got the command prompt up on my laptop and determined that from the laptop's perspective the problem was that there was no DHCP server available through the hotspot network. That morning it did eventually find the DHCP server and issue my laptop an IP address, and let me connect.
Yesterday afternoon the DHCP server never appeared, and I was not able to connect to the internet. Same thing this morning. I rebooted both the phone and the laptop. No change. The laptop connects to other wireless networks just fine, still. This worked for months. Why did it slow down connecting and then stop? I'm guessing there must be some sort of buffer that has filled up.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

My mobile hotspot no longer works since I upgraded to mountain lion. What happened and how do I get it back?

My mobile hotspot (Samsung Note II) no longer works since I upgraded to mountain lion (running on MacBook Pro) What happened and how do I get it back? "
Keep getting error message:
"Could not join “NAME-HOTSPOT”.
A connection timeout occurred"
Please someone help me with this - I do a lot of travelling and use my hotspot!
Thanks

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Some of these steps are only possible if you have control over the wrieless router.
Step 1
Turn Wi-Fi off and back on.
Step 2
Restart the router and the computer. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 3
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 4
Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
Step 5
In OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and fix the issues listed in the Summary, if any.
Step 6
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 7
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 8
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
Step 9
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).

Droid Razr 4G Mobile Hotspot Issues with PS3

I am hoping someone else had this issue and has been able to resolve. I just got a Droid Razr this week, and I have the 4G mobile hotspot feature. I am trying to replace my slow DSL line at home, and most things in my house have tested fine (Internet access, etc.). However, my PS3 seems to have some issues, particularly with online gaming and testing the network connection. The game I am testing now is COD MW3. I thought maybe something like IP ports were blocked on the phone or 4G network, but searching online seems to indicate that isn't an issue. If I reconnect my PS3 back to the DSL, online gaming and network tests work just fine. Move it back to 4G and the game won't connect and the network tests don't complete.
I don't see any features on the phone that would indicate that you can modify any firewall like settings. Anyone else experience similar issues? Thanks in advance!

I'm having the same issue with my Samsung 4g hotspot as well. I can get onto the PSN, download game updates just fine, but when I'm in a MW3 lobby, it just sits there and eventually times out and a XMB message displays that i've been disconnect from the wireless access point. Anyone have any ideas?

Having issues with MacBook Pro and Verizon Mobile Hotspot

Hey everyone,
I bought a MacBook Pro with the Lion OS. I recently switched to Verizon and got an HTC Thunderbolt so I could use it as a hotspot at home and when I travel.
The problem I am having is when I turn the Mobile Hotspot on is, it will connect and stay connected for anywhere from 2 to 10 minutes and then it will work intermittently after that until I turn it off. I've talked to Verizon Tech Support probably 30 times in the last 3 months about the issue. They sent me another SIM card and a new Thunderbolt at first. The issue did not go away, so they offered me a Samsung Charge. Got it and it did the same thing. So I told them to send me back a Thunderbolt, because its a better phone and the Charge was too glitchy.
I've been to the Apple Store twice now and they dont know why its happening either. The only thing that has remained constant throughout this whole troubleshooting process has been my MacBook Pro. My questions are: Is anyone else experiencing this type of behavior? and What could possibly be causing this issue?
Im a new Mac user, so Im not sure how to troubleshoot issues like this, or if there are compatibility issues Im not aware of.
Thanks for your help,
Matt

Hi Matt,
Did this ever get resolved for you? I have the exact same problem except I'm running Snow Leopard on a MacBook and my phone is a Droid Incredible 2. When I use the hopstpot from a ThinkPad running Windows 7 or a System76 netbook running Linux Mint it works perfectly. But when I try to use my MacBook it connects for, like you said, anywhere between 3-10 minutes and then connection is intermittent and super slow. I haven't gone through the motions of contacting Verizon yet...
Thanks,
Aileen

Mobile Hotspot not working after upgrading to 4.4.2

My husband and I have identical Motorola phones. He let his upgrade to Android 4.4.2 over a month ago. Since then, his Mobile Hotspot cannot be used to connect to our home PC. If you use your mobile hotspot, DO NOT LET IT UPGRADE!!!!!!!!
Three visits to local Verizon store, more than 50 power-off's (many of them soft boots), a long phone call to Verizon support. Still not working. Except once two weeks ago for several hours, then failed again. About a week ago,our HP laptop started connecting to the Hotspot, but the desktop cannot. My hotspot (which is fortunately still running 4.1.2) provides internet access just fine. Strange new symptom last week: once the laptop has connected to the 4.4.2 Hotspot, the desktop can as well. Sigh. Verizon offered to replace his phone under warranty, but the new one is expected to arrive with the latest version. I am not optimistic about that. Others must be having the same problem. Perhaps not as desperate as us because it is our only internet service at our rural home. We are still paying full price for our plan, but do not have the service. And, we have spent literally a hundred hours trying to debug this. Come on, Verizon, this needs to be fixed!

RAZR M
Just tried another soft boot. Same behavior.
Thank you for responding.

Use mobile hotspot to provide internet to Aiport Extreme?

I just got a Sierra W801 mobile hotspot and want to use it as my internet for my home network. Right now it is tethered to my iMac via USB. It does not have any other ports, only wireless b/g and can only connect to up to 5 devices.
I can think of two ways that might work, but so far have been unable to make either of these work.
1. Set my iMac up to share it's internet connection (provided by the mobile hotspot) through its ethernet port which is connected to the airport extreme.
Or..
2. Use the airport extreme to joint the wireless network provided by the mobile hotspot. This is how it is currently set up, but AppleTV won't talk to my iMac and the cable box can't get to the internet via ethernet. But at least I have a green light.
Which of these two might have the best chance of success? Is there perhaps another option that I'm not aware of?

Is there perhaps another option that I'm not aware of?
Something like this type of Cellular Broadband Adapter would do what you want, assuming that it is compatible with your provider's service.

Samsung 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot SCH–LC11

Have the Samsung 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot card (use with my tablet). My desktop PC does not have wireless capability. What are my options to connect my desktop to the Hotspot card? I have read that buying a special WIFI USB adapter will work, or installing a PCI Wireless card into the computer. Also, once I do either of these options, do I still need a wireless router of some sort or will the desktop be able to connect without a special router?
I would rather not connect the Samsung hotspot card directly to the desktop via some special wire as I have read that this method will only allow the card to be used with the desktop and won't allow other devices (laptop, tablet, itouch) to connect to it during such time.
What are the most economical WIFI USB adapters to buy? I am not a heavy user just internet browsing.
What is the most economical and easiet PCI card to buy if I should go this route?

I am trying to use the Samsung SCH-LC11 on Verizon as well. All my devices (MBA 13", iPad 2, iPhone 4) see the wifi signal but no data will transfer. I have tried adding my MAC addresses to the Samsung's security settings and I have performed several hard resets. No love. Any advice would be appreciated.

Can't get 3G Mobile Hotspot to work with Cr-48

I can't get my Google Cr-48 (the free Google computer) to connect to my 3G Mobile Hotspot. It sees the phone, associates with it, but it won't connect--I get an error message every time.
I know the hotspot works with other computers, both laptop and desktop, without any trouble at all. And the Cr-48 connects to other routers and wireless hotspots and also to the Verizon 3G network without any trouble.
I'm paying the $20/month charge for the 3G Mobile Hotspot, but there's no point in keeping it if I can't use it for the Cr-48, which is the real reason why I would pay for it. Any suggestions?

Clearly the device from verizon works, I would try to contact a computer tech to repair your computer
Really it should be as simple as turn on, connect, go. If it isn't there is a break down somewhere in that computer
What error msg?
