I've seen this issue posted on various forums with similar problems, but have yet to find a definitive answer.  Thanks in advance if you can solve it...

 

Device: unrooted Razr HD (and also my wife's unrooted Razr M).

 

Issue 1:  Hotspot initially recognized phone, but would not connect my windows 7 PC via hotspot.

Issue 2:  Windows 7 PC now no longer even recognizes the phone.

 

Here's what works:

Yes, I can tether via USB to PC and get internet access.

Hotspot works with Razr HD when connecting to other devices (my work PC and my tablet).

Hotspot works when connecting my old phone (Palm Pre) to my Windows 7 PC.

 

Here's what doesn't work:

Hotspot with Razr HD (and Razr M) with my Window 7 PC.

 

Here's what I've tried:

Setting to Open network and/or making sure passwords on WPA2 match.

Tried IPreconfig, releasing/refreshing, etc.

Tried manually adding phone to PC.

Restored PC back to a day before phone purchase date.

Downloaded drivers, played with settings, stomped feet, held breath and screamed.

 

Nothing, nothing and nothing.

 

So..
How can I get PC to recognize phone?

Then, how can I get hotspot to work?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Same here my hotspot will connect to PC running windows 7 but gives no internet access at times. Other times it will connect and give internet access but will not load a web page. Tired using RAZR naxx HD non rooted phone and rooted unlocked RAZR maxx HD phone. Tried entitlement check hack, (I was already set to 0) and tried every wireless tether app on the market. And ideas would be appreciated.

^{As additional info, here's another option that I found that works...}

^{My old PC did not have built-in wireless, so I had previously purchased a wireless USB adapter from Walmart (Linksys AE1000).}

^{Even though my newer Windows 7 PC has it's own wireless card built-in, I attached/set-up the Linksys USB adapter.}

^{Now, my new Windows 7 PC recognizes my phone and connects via hotspot.}

^{So...  my guess is there's something about Windows 7 and/or the wireless card settings that doesn't like the newer Droid phones.}

^{At least we have options (USB tether and 3rd party wireless adapters) until someone can figure out the problem.}
