Mobile Hotspot becomes "Limited Connectivity" after a while

Device: Lumia 650 DS
OS: Windows 10.0.14393.3
Status: Insider

-I've had this issue since a few insider builds back. before that it works just fine. I usually connect to my Surface Pro 3 and the internet connection works. But after a set amount of time (around 10 minutes - 3 hours approx.), the connection becomes 'limited' on my PC. The phone shows the LTE signal, indicating the devices' connection 'seems' to be online, but an attempt to search anything via Edge will make the usual 'you have problems with your internet connectivity' status.
-The only known fix is by restarting the phone. going on and off off flight mode doesn't restore the network. I had done a hard reset once, but the problem persists.
-Is only my build buggy, or does anyone else have the same issue?

it used to happen a few months back but I don't know that got resolved

Wait, it's been resolved on your device?

I don't use it so I can't say but for the last few months no one has reported that specific issue until yours came up

Interesting... I would say that it's a device defect, but it was working fine until a few insider builds back. Thing is, mine runs properly under the lock screen. Even when the screen is off the hotspot continues working. It... just stops connecting after said time.

it happens to me, after screen times out all devices connected get kicked and cant rejoin unless i restart the phone, this issue is affecting maybe half the community after they "fixed" it so they will just sweep it under the rug

Eh? But it's different on my device. Even after the screen times out, other devices can still connect to it. but until that certain amount of time, it becomes limited internet connectivity. It doesn't 'kick' the device. Or am I wrong about how I interpreted the word 'kick'?

It could be a carrier issue - I used to notice that after a couple of hours, my cellular connection would have no internet, not until I switch it off and then on

 

[adha_aiman]

Ah! That seems similar to my issue. But.. is it really a carrier issue? I wonder...

An update on the issue, the connection becomes 'virtually' limited too after getting a text message to the other SIM
