Android 10 hotspot problem

marsumestari · July 11, 2020

I have an interesting problem with hotspot and would need some expert advice...

Here's the deal:

I have Xbox One (Original model if that matters) set up with Android hotspot.

I used to have Nokia 8 with Android 9 and 4G connection and everything was working fine.

No lag or anything for example playing Rocket League (Also worked fine with Honor 6 Lite hotspot which is a trash phone).

This went on for about a year without a single problem.

Then my Nokia died and I just got Oneplus 8 with Android 10.

I set up hotspot and instantly got huge bouncing lag.

Then I tried to join my friends Rocket League game but joining would not work.

We tried Remnant but game said something like "Host is not on a secure connection".

I tried changing Access point bandwitch from 5 to 2,4 but to no avail.

Android 10 also has an option to use "Wi-Fi 6 standard hotspot", tried that but no change.

Restarted Xbox several times, nothing.

Then I remembered reading that if I share my internet to a computer and share that connection to Xbox, it might work.

So I gave it a try and boom, I got to join my friend's game and first got a little lag but then went pretty smoothly. Windows 10 laptop was used in between.

Lag happened also the day before so I don't think it is something that occurs because of my provider but because of the sharing properties.

Sooooo after this long introduction:

Has something changed how the Internet is shared between Android 9 and 10?

Or is it Oneplus's fault?

And more importanty can I do anything about it?

File a ticket and wait for an update of course... :)

Also tried a speedtest, should be sufficient:

Download: 10.3

Upload: 3,3

Ping: 21ms

Jitter: 1ms

Thanks Senzelian!

After digging through the topic what I found helpful was going here on my Android 10:

Settings -> Wi-fi and network -> SIM-card & network -> Chose my sim-card -> APN -> chose my current one which said internet -> APN-type -> added DNU with , -> save + reboot. No lag.
