Tethered Hotspot disconnects under lockscreen in W10 build 10149 - fixed.

[Golfeus]

I am on a Nokia Lumia 925 which does not have the option of 'Never' under the display timeout options.

This was not an issue until I installed Windows 10 build 10149, this build has 'Mobile hotspot' working, but it disconnects under lockscreen. I could find no fix, but in case others are struggling with the same issue, one workaround is the Tether-X app - available in the Store beta - does the same job, but it works under lockscreen.

Solved :excited:

Thanks. I just figured out the reason for my disconnects was related to the lockscreen. I'll go download it.

Actually, I found an easier way after getting a hint from this app. Just open maps and start navigating which prevents the lock screen. Seems to be working great.

Lumia Car App is an more battery-friendly option for keeping the screen on. Navigation is a bit too heavy.
