Hi. I have the same problem with a Xperia XZ1 (G8342 Model / Compilation 47.1.A.8.49 - in fact, the same platform and Android version) and the fix didn't work too.

If it's a hardware issue, its occurs very often and may be a roblem to Sony with your XZ new phones.

I' looking forward for an other software fix, if it exists ....

what make you sure it's a hardware problem? 

BTW, i have the same problem in my XZ PREMIUM. (chrome), and earlier I tried to connect using another XZ Premium (chrome) of other person i know, and it has the same problem like mine!

also, i had a Deepsea black xz premium before i sell and get the chrome color, and the latter had the same tethering issues... 

so many xz premium affected, and i guess it's the Qualcomm SD 835 Chipset that causes that.

I have the black one. Pre-ordered it from the UK for the fingerprint reader and to get it in English. I use mine for ALL of my internet access with a T-Mobile unlimited high speed LTE plan. Therefore I use hotspot/tethering all the time without any issues at all. Since we probably have the same software on all the versions in question I would say that a hardware defect may in fact be the reason for the issues. Sorry you are having the problem. Just wanted to make it known that I have virtually zero issues with mine.

[iBoss]

we both have the same issue... he, on his XZ1 and I onmy XZ Premium, also someone reported the same issue in his XZ1 Compact in XDA forum!

do you think there are some affected batch in those models or it's the SD 835 chipset?

[iBoss]

can you please send me screenshot of your software region information?
it's when you go to Service menu by dialing:
*#*#7378423#*#* and then Software info..... take screenshot and please send it to me in a private message or even in here!

Thank you!

@andres_uygo to Settings > Network & Internet > Hotspot & tethering > Portable hotspot settings and check if "Discoverable" option is turned on.

iBoss can this info help to give some light to the problem ? maybe that the region of the firmware could limitate the hotspot functionality or it is a hardware problem ? the wifi works fine...
