iPhone 5 Wifi Hotspot - Issue with Non Apple Devices

Hi !


I have iPhone 5 and a Working LTE connection , My Carrier officially supports data tethering. Previously i could turn on Personal Hotspot and use internet in my card with other Non-Apple Devices such as GPS , Samsung devices etc.


But recently i noticed after update to 7.1.2 . I can turn on Hotspot


1- Apple Devices can connect to Hotspot such as Mac Book Pro , IPhone and iPad.

2- Windows Laptop can use Internet Using USB Cable connected with iPhone but can not connect through Wifi.

3- All other Non-Apple Devices ( such as Lumia 1520 , Samsung Galaxy S5 ) Can not Connect to Wifi Hotsopt.


Is there any specific restriction or policy which is preventing this.


I have tried , Reset All Settings , Reset Network Settings. but it does not work.
