Dear all,
I have the following issue. Currently have a Samsung Galaxy s8 that is connected to my xc40.
When sharing WiFi through either Bluetooth or WiFi hotspot the internet goes through fine.
When switching to mobile data tethering through either Bluetooth or WiFi hotspot the internet doesn't reach the car.
Tried this with my girlfriend's s7 as well however didn't work either.
Tried with a friend's xiaomi and worked flawlessly with mobile data.
Any suggestions???
Thank you all in advance

I've just begun using my Samsung Galaxy S8+ with our MY18 XC40 and it has been working flawlessly to download map updates. Can you elaborate on the problem? Maybe I can try to reproduce it later today. I also have an S7 that I can try.
Are you trying to use other devices through the car Wi-Fi which in turn is using the tethered S8 for internet access over the mobile network? I could take my laptop or the S7 out to the car and try to connect them to the internet that way.

No other devices to share the internet.
Just trying to provide the car with internet using my mobile data!
When the mobile phone is connected to WiFi the internet connection is tethered flawlessly.
When the phone is connected to mobile data the internet connection fails to tether to the car.
I have enabled Bluetooth tethering on my mobile phone and through the car Bluetooth tethering option for internet.
I have also tried to tether through WiFi hotspot as a plan B but again the internet connection only goes through when my phone is connected to WiFi and never goes through with mobile data...
Also I know that tethering my mobile data via Bluetooth and wifi hotspot works for me when I tether to my tablet but it doesn't when I try to tether to the car! I am out of ideas here

Does your mobile data provider have a block on tethering, some do?
