I can now include/exclude certain devices from connecting, but I still have no options to configure the hotspot itself !!!

Thus it happens that when I try to connect my PC to the phone, I get asked to enter a "network security key"... which I -of course- do not have or know, because I'm unable to configure the hotspot...

So basically, WLAN hotspot and USB tethering are ... not available -.- Can anyone help please ? This is a total bummer -.-

maybe your carriers disabled it?

[tailland]

Well ,it's obviously not disabled, since I can activate it. Just not by default means :ß And I do remember having seen the option to activate it before.

I rebooted the device, now everything is back in order.. I wonder what could've caused this mess -.-

[tailland]

Nope, my phone is completely stock, not rooted. And as I wrote, after a phone reboot, everything is "ok".. but I'll keep that tool you linked in the back of my mind in case I get into this trouble more often.

What is going on exactly ?
