So this has been happening the past 3 days. Whenever I turn my hotspot on my cellular data drops and I cant use the phone or the hotspot. Its becoming increasingly frustrating since ive been wanting to play on my pc with my friends and talk to them on discord.
I have had similar issues with my phone hotspot. Not exactly the same, but I can tell you what’s “worked” for me. It’s a work around at the moment, and I’m trying to determine a permanent solution.
For me, my phone hotspot doesn’t work with the standard T-Mobile APN. I had to create my own. The following works for everything, but I can’t send group MMS. It’s weird.
