WiFi Tether: enable failed - Action WiFi Tether failed

[Kyle Hepple]

Any news on whether it is possible to fix the issue with not being able to enable/disable the WiFi tether on a non-rooted device?

I don't really want to root my device as I like to get the latest updates straight from Google. 

Plus I know very little about rooting devices, so it isn't really an option for me.

Running Android 8.0 on a Google Pixel XL.

If it doesn't work on your device, then It needs root. It's very unlikely
anything will change. Google have just changed their API, I doubt
they will reverse things and go back to the old one.

Ah well, thanks for the reply.

Sometimes when the task is running I got an error message.

"WiFi Tether: java.lang.RuntimeExecption: Java.lang.InterruptedException
At a.a.a.j.f.a (SourceFile:45)..."

I can't say what is the reason.

I'm running the latest beta of Tasker with Android 8 on a Huawei mate 10 pro

Seems like something's different with huaweis... Will try with a huawei when I can get my hands on one, thanks.

[André Jeromin]

What am I wondering about, it not happen everytime. 

Let me know if I can help you. 

[João Dias]

Oh I see. Do you know when it happens? Any pattern?

[André Jeromin]

Not really. I tried to repeat but the error don't appears. Normally the task start everytime I'm in my car. Whether I receive the error the tethering will start correctly. I tried to start the task manually and at the first time I got the message again (Coincidence I think ). Other attempts directly after that will work correctly. First, I thought it happens when the Wi-Fi was still activ but I couldn't confirm that.

hi João, the issue still exist in the latest beta. (5.6.1b)
After the task was running I got this message but the actions are executed correctly.
