Morning Everyone;

A quick quandary about the Z10 Mobile Hotspot and Android tablets. Simply, mine won't connect for love nor must money.

Quick Specs rundown first :
Z10-2 on Vodafone UK with the .1925 installed
Last security wiped at the upgrade to .1925
Tablet: A grey important running Android 4.1 recently factory reset a few months ago.

My mobile hotspot usually runs good with my Windows laptop and I can easily play World of Warcraft using it as the connection.

When I connect the Android tablet though it connects to there phone and I get a grey wifi indication on the tablet but no connection through the browser, to Play Store, etc

So far I have tested both the laptop and the tablet on a standard router and they both work fine and when connected to my home wifi the tablet shows a blue wifi connection indicating the strength of the wifi. The Hotspot setting page can see the Android connected and registers a few kb of data sent but nothing received.

The tablet used to work fine on a Huawei 3G pebble but I do not have it now to test.

Has anyone experienced similar issues?

I connect my Nexus 7 all the time. I would remove the saved WiFi profiles on the Android Tab, reboot it, and try to pair again.

Thanks for your thoughts sith_apprentice and apologies for not replying sooer as I have been trying a few things to get it all working; all without joy.

I have tried to connect a second tablet to the BlackBerry Z10 now in order to try and resolve the issue and still without success. I have found something strange though which may be of use; when I check the tablet connection on my Z10 it does not appear to assign it an IP address? This is in Mobile Hotspot > long press on the tablet MAC address > Device Details.

Mac Address
00:b6:.....
IP Address

Band 
802.11n

For the avoidance of doubt I can still connect my Windows laptop to the Z10 wifi hotspot
and I can connect all the devices to a home wireless router (a Virgin Media Superhub)

I have also tried tethering the tablet to the Z10 using Bluetooth tethering and it would not work through that either.

What I have also tried:
* renaming the hotspot on the Z10 (apparently some androids do not like symbols?)
* putting the tablet into Airplane mode and initiating a connection via wi-fi (apparently this has resolved other similar issues)

I am at a loss as to why a tablet, which connects to literally everything else including portable dedicated wifi hotspots; should fail to connect to a Z10!

I use my z10 as a hot spot and connect it to my galaxy tab 3 and it works a treat.

Ensure you have "allow more devices to connect" checked in your z10 hot spot settings

Already checked that Jahtruth. It is never turned off.
I did manage to get it connected overnight after doing a factory reset of the tablet - Whether it will still work tonight remains to be seen.
