Was able to connect, but I tried again in game and the issue is still there. So it might be best to leave it be for the night and see what happens.

Instacheck Hotspot -- a fast Pokémon checker for XY

Eh probably a good idea. Hopefully if I input my home connection settings it wont interfere so I can still do other things too. At least I dont have a bunch of stuff I'm wanting to trade off.
They haven't patched it because I can consistently run it. First off. When the Ds disconnects from the hotspot for any reason you have to reset the hotspot completely. I find this means hitting delete connection on the Ds' connection settings. then setting the connection up again.
Also a known issue. If instacheck is scanning when you try to connect the game to the internet, the game will not connect, and you will be forced to reset the hotspot just to make it work.
As for not displaying any results. You need to do a couple of things.
A. Set the"frequency" on the drop down box to the wireless adaptor you use to run the hotspot.
B. Press start scanning before anything is shown in the trade if you want to see the results. You can start the scan while the Ds says communicating without issue. scanning after something is shown will not display results until something new is shown.
You can simply re-enter your other information after you finish using Instacheck if Instacheck's connection is on the 2 connection and your normal settings for your 3ds were the first. It's a hassle, but I'm pretty sure most have to do it too.
I have to delete my home net whenever I want to run instacheck, so I tend to run it for a very long time. When I need to disconnect and use the home net I have to re-enter all the data. Its a necessary inconvenience for running instacheck.
I just said that, the only other thing you can try is disabling the second wireless which is instacheck and enabling when you need to. Other than that, you're out of luck.
Edit: I'm not saying it's not a hassle, I'm just saying to me it's minor and we all know the program has it's flaws.
I did that and it didn't work. So it seems as if something's up tonight. Did the usual deleting on the second try as well and it was a no go.
What is it that you get when you do so? Just a blank instacheck screen?
Sounds like you were testing the connection through the DS settings. When you do that, and then go back into the game, you have to restart the hotspot again. Your DS disconnects from the internet in that short time you go from the settings to the game, requiring a restart of the hotspot. Sounds like that fixed it for you though...maybe.
It wouldn't connect all I got was the usual 'connecting to the internet' in game. This is after I restarted the hotspot. And started instacheck. So I had to shut the game off via the power button.
It wasn't scanning. I hadn't turned that part of it on. It was just trying to get online in game and it wouldn't even do that.
Ah. Thanks. Will remember to do that next time, if the program starts to work on my end again.
Found out what was wrong: I had to change my connection to connection two for it to work properly.
Thanks, will add you. Maybe we can exchange eggs some time. I'd do the other thing, but it's getting really late. Sorry :(.
Cool. It'll have to be later though, since I have some rl stuff to do during the day. If that's ok with you.
