Problem in Tethering

[rakee17]

I am getting "Thethering error" in popup window saying Error occured during thering.

I am facing this prob in xperia P android 4.0.4  build number 6.1.1.B.1.54 . Not able to tether both wifi and USB. Can anyone tell me a solution ?

You must have a working data connection in order to get rid of the error.
When i enable data and the "H/3G/E" is on top of the signal bars i'm ready to enable the hotspot/tether without any errors.

No. As I explained before, my data plan works perfectly fine, and the error shows up while I see either the 3G or H icon in the phone's status bar.

Why is this question assumed answered? It's not.

[Miltos95]

Weird, on which FW ver are you on? Can you try removing the APN Settings and set it up from the start? (Only the internet settings, not the whole phone).

I have same problem as oboxodo.

I tried resetting the APN settings, tried with my friend's SIM card.

But no luck.

This is a major issue, and Sony is expected to solve this immediately.

I recently had the same error with my xperia P this is what seemed to fix it:

Go to settings>more>mobile networks>Access Point Name

Ensure that all the values are correct for your carrier, for example a Rogers APN will look like this:

Name Rogers Mobile

APN: rogers-core-appl1.apn

Proxy:

Port:

Username:

Password:

Server:

MMSC: http://mms.gprs.rogers.com

MMS Proxy: 10.128.1.69

MMS Port: 80

MCC: 302 (retrieved from SIM)

MNC: 720 (retrieved from SIM).

Authentication type:

APN type: default,mms,supl,Internet+mms

Do some research on your carriers APN values. Now this is what fixed my error: Under 'APN type' make sure you type in "default,mms,supl,Internet+mms"

Should work, let me know!

[Miltos95]

Did you try in the first place going to Settings > Xperia > Internet Settings and try to download the settings automatically? Mine had the settings too but wasn't able to access the internet.

I performed the automatic internet settings download and all worked fine!

I too experienced same issue with my Sony T3 i recommend to use _FEEM lite it really works with high speed in mbps.

Well I guess its not by the simcard network. I do have a Sony C3 and a Samsung S5. i have 2 numbers with the same carrier. now since my C3 got updated  to LOLLIPOP os ( which I hated and regreted a lot ) this tethering problem also occured. Whenever i tried to use my C3 for  wifi to share it with my Samsung S5 it says "ERROR". but when i will exchange the sim cards which are in the same carrier ( Im an ETISALAT user because im here in UAE)  and I will use my S5 to share the wifi to my C3, im not facing any problem. I can share it even with 2 or 3 phones extra. So I guess its not by the carrier.
