Why can’t I activate hotspot?
Due to compatibility issues, it may take more time to activate hotspot on some devices. In these cases, restart SHAREit on the receiving device and the tap Receive to try again.
Additionally, this problem may also be due to SHAREit not having permissions for Wi-Fi connection on the device. Please see Configuring Xiaomi Security Center.
Some devices, such as Nexus7 and Mi pad, do not support hotspot connections. In these cases, tap 'Receive' on the sending device and 'Send' on the receiving device to try again.
