WiFi and hotspot problem for Samsung Galaxy S4 mini

Normally, when you turn on both feature of the phone one or the other should not get disabled. If you have other Samsung Galaxy phone and if you noticed before upon enabling both features it should not affect one or the other.

There are three possible reasons why you are encountering this kind of problem. It could be with the operating system, an added feature to the latest update or it could be a feature that has been set by a network provider if the phone was a postpaid plan.

It is possible that this is an added feature for your phone's operating system. However, there are no reports, and this is the first report that has been posted online that whenever you turn on your WiFi, your tethering would get turn off to prioritize the WiFi connectivity and for power saving as well.

If the phone does not have the latest Operating system, then you may have to update the phone and check if it has the same thing. You may also need to back up the phone data to a computer then perform a Factory Reset and see if it does the same.

If your phone was provided by a network provider as a postpaid plan, they might set restriction. There are some network provider who would set restrictions to their customer; it is best that you contact your network provider and inquire if they have such restriction.

If the last two failed then this could be an added feature for your Samsung phone which is only normal. If you want to isolate this kind of feature if it's an added or just happening to your phone. You can check with your friends or relatives or to any person that you know who has the same phone as your and check it with them if they have the same feature as yours that way you would know if this is only on your phone or a normal feature.
