xperia 5v tethering error

after updating to the latest 67.2.A.2.60 I can't use the hotspot functionality anymore 😞 I get a tethering error message. Before (up to 67.2.A.2.41), was working well. I guess SONY ***** it up with the new update?

Hi @uybhege, did you try to restart your phone? Can you provide us with a screenshot of the error?

If you tried restarting and it didn't solve the issue, try rebooting in safe mode by following the steps below:

- Hold the Power button until the “power down” options are shown. 

- Instead of tapping it, press and hold the [Power off] option.

- After a couple of seconds, a [Reboot in safe mode] prompt will appear that allows you to reboot. 

- When restarting, Safe mode will appear on-screen, indicating that it’s in safe mode. 

- Check if the issue persists in safe mode. If not, it might be interesting to delete some apps to see if performance improves. 

- Rebooting again will return the phone to normal mode.

Thank you for your reply.

 

1. Here is the error screenshot:

2. Yes I did restart my phone but no change.

3. I did restart the phone in "safe mode" too but no luck. The same problem as with regular mode.

 

Please allow me to mention how to enter into the "safe mode". Using the power button will not work! Here are the steps - just for your reference:

 

1. You scroll down from your home screen twice and at the bottom, right corner of the screen you click on the 'on/off' button.

2. Then you get 3 selections. You keep on pressing on the "Power Off" button and a message will appear, informing you about the safe mode.

 

Just to remind you that this error came up after the latest update! Before that, everything worked just good!

 

Thank you
