I just checked iOS8 ( on an iPhone 6 ) and AOSP4 ( on a Nexus5 ). Both ensure that WiFi enabled and Hotspot enabled are mutually exclusive. If you enable WiFi, you can't enable hotspot. If hotspot is active and you enabled WiFi, it will kill the hotspot.
I also tested on krillin (stable #23). If I'm connected to a WiFi AP and I enable hotspot, the first time it disconnects, then a minute or two later, the AP is re-connected and the hotspot is deactivated. The second time I tried it, the AP didn't disconnect, however the hotspot again became disabled automatically. Next I manually "forgot" the connected AP and tried to enable hotspot. It briefly enabled, and then disabled itself a minute or so later. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to indicator-network in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1478009 Title: creating a hotspot should disconnect from the current AP Status in Canonical System Image: New Status in indicator-network package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When creating a new hotspot using the attached script, NM no longer disconnects from the current AP.
