REPRODUCIBILITY (% or how often): > %95
BUILD ID = OS VERSION (Settings > About product): 4.3 (and lower)
HARDWARE (XA2, X10, X10 II, …): XA2 and other phones
UI LANGUAGE: English
REGRESSION: (compared to previous public release: Yes, No, ?): No
DESCRIPTION:
When enabling Internet sharing
The wifi connection connects, but doesn’t share the internet connection
PRECONDITIONS:
Seen the issue on several Linux laptops and Chromebooks
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
- Get a laptop
- Share the internet of the phone
- Observe you can’t browse
EXPECTED RESULT:
The internet should work
ACTUAL RESULT:
The laptop get’s an IP address in the 72.28.172.XXX range from the phone
No network connecion
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
A workaround seems to be possible by running:
ssh defaultuser@172.28.172.1 -D 1024
on the laptop, then setting the OS to proxy though socks5 e.g:
socks5://127.0.0.1:1024
This is a bug that has been seen on the Jolla phone, Xerperia X and the XA2 and with multiple laptops.
Having to use socks5 prevents other things from working on my laptop.
This bug doesn’t happen if I tether off an Android phone
