    I'm running Android 7.0 on my Oneplus 3T. When I turn on the WiFi hotspot, it automatically turns off after few minutes.
    I've turned off WiFi in my phone, still no use.

    Try doing a Network settings reset. Your saved settings of wifi will be lost after network settings reset. You will have to add again.

    I am having the same issue with the hotspot turning it off by itself. I depend on internet access 100% for my work, therefore the hotspot is one the most important features on a phone for me. It worked fine on my previous Oneplus 1. Any other suggestions on how to fix.

    Tried the above suggestions already.
    Tried with the phone connected to a charger
    There is no data limitation or policy enable.
    Phone is basically right out of the box an all updates are applied.

    Please, can we get this prioritize for a Hotfix?

    Thanks

    I also have this issue on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, even while data is being transmitted on the connected device. It's very frustrating.

    This is how you make a device worse with every update. Are they even going to look into this?

    Also facing this problem on my 3T. Issue was present for 4.0.1, 4.0.2, and now 4.0.3. Devices will connect and receive internet access, but the phone doesn't recognise they are there and inevitably shuts off the hotspot after 5 minutes. Tried resetting Network settings to no avail. Interestingly though, it WILL recognise devices if I turn off WPA2 PSK. This however is not a practical fix.

    Confirmed on my OP3T running 4.0.3. Persistent since Android 7.0 upgrade.

    Things I've done:
    1. Cleared Network Settings
    2. Switched between 2.4 and 5Ghz
    3. Reset phone to factory
    4. Tried connection with OSX, Lunix, Unix, BSD, and Windows - result is the same

    OnePlus, you guy's have got to fix this.. A Pretty major functionality bug, and I can't imagine it's a super complex thing to fix..

    It works. what I found is if you have hotspot on, you receive or make a phone call it turns off and u have to touch hotspot icon again to enable it
