Minecraft – Unable to join game using WiFi connection

androidminecraft-bedrock-editionnetworkingwifi

My brothers and I have three devices running Android; a Motorola XT980, an Alcatel Touch and a tablet, connected via WiFi.

We all run Minecraft PE v0.8.0 and have no problems joining games with any of the devices.

However, when we host a game using the Motorola XT980, the other two devices are unable to join the game.

What could be causing this problem and how do we resolve it?

Is the install on this device set to allow local multiplayer? Even if it's off it will still be able to join other games, just will not be able to host them (in my experience)

Just tried out having the phones connected to the host phone via mobile hotspot and it worked! Just make sure that you have background downloads turned off so that you're not wasting all his data. I'd assume you can probably connect through a wifi router as well, but since the wifi router at our school is locked down, there's no way to prove that it works at this point.

Minecraft – Why can’t I mine or build on the PocketMine Server

The best thing to do for a private server, is to op everyone so that all of them have admin abilities and none of them will have troubles with permissions.

To op a person on the console:

op <user>

To op a person in-game:

/op <user>

The reason there is a slash in front of all commands in-game is so that Minecraft will know if you want to say something or use a commands. If you are still having trouble, make sure that in the settings, the gamemode is set to 0.

0 = Survival - You have to find blocks and you have a health bar.
1 = Creative - Has the ability to magically make blocks and fly.
2 = Adventure - Like survival but you can not break or place blocks.
