Xperia Z3 Personal Hotspot Trouble

[Jonsby]

Hi All,

I am currently on three mobile and tried using the personal hotspot and usb tethering but the connection always seems to drop.

Whats happens is:

- internet on my phone would be working fine

- I'd active the usb tethering/hotspot and connect with the pc/laptop

- pc/laptop would find the connection and display that its connected to the internet

- at this point I would lose internet completly on my phone and pc. Phone will still be displaying signal and H+ data send and receive as normal but internet would not be working.

- I would have to turn off the tethering and restart the mobile data for the internet to be back online.

I swapped the sim with my old Lumia phone and the tethering was working fine which means that it's something to do with my phone.

Thanks for any help.

Check with 3 that it has been enabled, especially.with yesterday being a New Years day.3 can be slow at times. Took them 2 days to enable my sim only nano.As my other sim was micro

It looks like its working now thanks. I had spoken to 3 but it was a very painful process and they repeatedly took me through the steps of switching functions on and off and restarting the phone. I eventually gave up and after some time it looks like its been activated.
