Frankly, I don't find any difference between hibernation/restart because Win8 restarts faster than win7 hibernates/resume.
You are right..

There isnt any defference between the both and so, they might as well thought of disabling hibernation by default so that people believe in thier "faster reboot" concept instead of calling it a marketting/technical gimmic :p

update : about the Bluetooth issue I'm facing :

yep, every settings are fine ( pc is discoverable ) and I've transfered files ( both ways ) when I was using Nokia but starting from Samsung ( Android phone ) I can't browse my phone like a mass storage device over BT anymore though I'm able to send files to it.
 
^ not sure, but the default way of doing so is to add both computers to the same homegroup.

Update : Bluetooth issue fixed .. can send and receive files now.

added a new Wi-Fi card to the pc - now I can connect to the phone using wifi from pc ( phone set as a hotspot ) but if I need to connect to the PC from phone using wifi ( pc set as hotspot ) the phone sometime gets stuck at obtaining Ip and sometime even if it can connect to the pc I can't browse net using pc's net connection on phone .. facing somewhat similar issue like nick191.

Until recently I purchased a router, I was using my laptop as hotspot for another laptop, an android tablet n a smartphone. It used to work flawlessly with once or twice that error....I wud create a new access point everytime after that error.

It has something to do with the Settings on the PC. Something somewhere isn't right.



nick191: Lets do this one more time.

1. Disconnect your active Internet Connection (ZTE Wireless Terminal)

2. Create a new wlan connection by entering the commands in a Command Prompt with Administrator Privileges:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork ssid=myssid key=mywifikey keyUsage=persistent

3. Press Enter

4. netsh wlan start hostednetwork

5. Connect to Internet (ZTE Wireless Terminal)

6. Post Screenshot of Change Adapter Settings window under Network & Sharing Center. Also , post the screenshots of Steps 1 to 5.

Till now , the Internet is not setup. We'll do the rest afterwards.

^You have to turn on Internet sharing in ZTE connection properties and select the "Local Area Connection* 13" as private connection.
