I am having the same issue. Windows and Apple Laptops connect fine to the iPhone xs Hotspot. Bluetooth internet also works to the Our Samsung Galaxy Tab A's but when we use the WiFi fromt he Personal hotspot the Android tablets cannot stay connected. They act like they are authenticating and the Hotspot briefly shows them connected but then the connection never finishes.


Troubleshooting we have tried on multiple iPhone XS and Samsung Galaxy Tab A's:

  1. Verifying the Wi-Fi Passwords.
  2. Rebooting Both Devices.
  3. Toggling Airplane Mode.
  4. Trying with Bluetooth on
  5. Trying with Bluetooth Off.
  6. Turning off our Home WiFi in case there was frequency interference.
  7. Changing Both the iPhone Name and the WiFi Password on the iPhone.
  8. Manually configuring a Connection.
  9. Resetting the Android Device.


Nothing helps so I guess we switch from Androids to iPad until there is a fix?
