If you’re having trouble connecting to your iPhone’s hotspot, we’ve got the solution for you. In this guide, we’ll show you how to set up a hotspot on your Android phone, so you can easily connect to your iPhone.

1. Check Your Internet Connection

If the internet connection is working on the device that’s sharing the hotspot, then the next step is to check that the device is connected to the internet. ..

If you’re having trouble connecting to the internet, there are a few things you can do to try and fix the problem. First, check your connection by loading a webpage on your browser. If it doesn’t work, you may need to troubleshoot your internet connection. For example, if you’re on a phone plan with a limit on how many minutes you can use per day, there could be an outage in your area that’s preventing you from connecting. ..

2. Restart the Wi-Fi Connection

To restart your phone’s wireless connectivity functions, you can enable airplane mode briefly. This can often solve bugs that arise with your hotspot functionality.

To enable airplane mode, you need to drag down from the top of your screen to open the notification bar. You can select the Airplane mode icon (the little plane). After 30 seconds, you should be able to disable airplane mode. If your hotspot is now working, congratulations!

To prevent data loss in the event of a device failure, you should back up your data on both the receiving and sending devices. ..

3. Restart Your Phone

Many people use their phones for extended periods of time, with multiple programs running in the background. This can cause problems with phone processing speed, as well as errors. Sometimes restarting your phone can fix these problems.

To restart your phone, hold the power button for a few seconds and when the pop-up appears, select Power off. Wait up to 30 seconds and then restart your phone. If the hotspot is now working, congratulations!

4. Turn Off Battery Saver

Some Android users have noticed that battery saver mode can affect their hotspot connectivity. Though this shouldn’t happen, it’s worth trying as it may be a quick solution for your hotspot troubles. ..

To disable battery saver mode on your iPhone, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
  2. Under “General,” tap “Battery.”
  3. Under “Battery saver,” turn off the switch next to “Enable battery saver.” ..

To disable data saver mode:

  1. Open the Settings app on your phone.
  2. Under “General,” tap “Data usage.”
  3. Under “Data saver,” turn off the switch next to “Enable.” ..

5. Turn Off Your VPN

VPNs can affect your internet speed and cause connection problems over an Android hotspot. While they’re excellent for protecting your online privacy, you may wish to try disabling them when you need to use the hotspot and re-enabling them afterward.

  1. Open the VPN app and click on the “OpenVPN” button.
  2. In the “OpenVPN” window, type in your desired VPN server address and click on the “Connect” button.
  3. The VPN will start up and you will be able to browse the internet without any issues.

6. Turn Off Automatic Hotspot Switching

  1. Open the Settings app and tap on Hotspot.
  2. Scroll down to the bottom and select “Disable hotspot.”

Some models don’t display this option.

7. Check Your Wi-Fi Band

Some newer Android phones support both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi bands. However, older phones cannot access the 5 GHz frequency. If your phone can only receive the 2.4 GHz frequency, you should ensure that your hotspot is set to the standard 2.4 GHz band to avoid any potential interference. ..

Android phones that feature a “fingerprint reader” can be used to sign in to various websites and services. This functionality is typically found on more expensive devices, such as the Nexus 6P or Pixel XL.

8. Create a New Hotspot Without a Password

If you’re having trouble connecting to a hotspot that requires a password, try creating a new one without it. Although password protection is generally recommended, it may prevent you from connecting. ..

We recommend changing the hotspot name to avoid problems with your device’s memory of that network. If your Android can now connect to the hotspot, you should now add password protection to prevent security threats to your device.

9. Try Bluetooth Tethering

If you’re having trouble connecting to the internet, try tethering to a Bluetooth device instead. This will allow you to share your internet connection with others, but it may be slower.

10. Check Your Receiving Device

If you are not able to receive phone calls or text messages, it is likely that there is a software or hardware issue with your device. Try connecting to another hotspot or Wi-Fi connection to see if the device is working properly. If that does not work, you may need to replace the device.

If you have a phone that doesn’t work as it should, it’s likely that the issue is with the receiving device. You can factory reset your phone to refresh the software side of things completely. Factory resetting will delete all of your data, so ensure that you back this up beforehand.

To reset your phone, you’ll need to go to Settings and then select Backup and Reset. From there, you’ll need to choose Factory Data Reset. ..
