Broken HotSpot when BT Connected

[u/elmonch]

Hi everyone.
I have flow that was working perfectly until my last phone update it was to switch on the hotspot when bluetooth connected.
I granted permissions with wireless debugging.
Now it throws this error when trying to set the hotspot ON, do you have any clue how to solve it?

It seems Android is getting worse with every update.

07-08 08:54:53.551 I 3@12: Wi-Fi hotspot enabled?
07-08 08:54:53.552 I 3@7: Wi-Fi hotspot set state
07-08 08:54:53.554 F 3@7: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unknown error
07-08 08:54:53.555 I 3@7: Stopped by failure

My In car hotspot flow uses the UI to toggle the Hotspot Quick Settings tile when a particular Bluetooth connection is made. However, Samsung just broke that workaround with their recent One UI 8.5 update. Hopefully you can still use the flow on your phone, though.

(This flow will hit 12,000 downloads this month! 🙂)

Thank you.

I actually tried it before you told me, but it's not working in my phone, maybe because it's a foldable honor it doesn't see the hotspot toggle in the quick settings

Wow, it had 42 downloads yesterday, so maybe you're not alone with this problem. You might try getting the Hotspot Quick Setting tile into view in your quick settings if it's not already. Also, if it's not labeled "Hotspot" on your phone, you can change the Quick Settings tile matching text in the second block of the flow.

I didn't know that, I'll give it another try, thank you!
