Unable to enable personal hotspot street Android os update

[Tim Scott]

Hi, 

My automate flow can no longer enable the personal hotspot after updating the os.

Indeed, it stops the flow with: 

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unknown error

I'm using paid-for Automate 1.48.2 on an Android 16 (6.1.118... kernel) on a OnePlus 12.

It worked fine before this Android update. 

Any ideas how I can work around this?

Thanks, 

Tim

I got typo'd!

The headline should say after, not street. :-)

Try using the "Privileged service" option for "Wi-Fi hotspot workaround" in settings. Also, setup an "Privileged service start method" in settings, e.g. using the "Android Debug Bridge" option unless your device is rooted.

If it due to very recent change or update which reason to improve security maybe you'll need to turn hotspot on or off manually for a while.
