From time to time, the tethering on my Nexus 6P, running Android 7.1.1, turns itself off for no reason. It can then take 5 or 6 attempts for it to turn back on.

Trying to turn it on, results in the tethering turning on and then straight back off again.

I managed to capture an adb logcat while this was happening, which can be found here

Keep Wifi on during sleep is set to Always

My provider is Three in the UK

I'm wondering if this is an issue with android, or my provider.

Can anyone shed some light on this?
