Estoy tratando de activar el punto de acceso Wifi portátil en ON, haciendo referencia a este enlace:
Cómo establecer configuraciones avanzadas de Android wifihotspot

Esto funciona bien en Samsung Galaxy S3 Android v4.4.2. (Sin problemas)
Pero en otros dispositivos con la misma versión de Android o inferior, la aplicación se bloquea y reinicia el dispositivo.

El código es el siguiente:

package com.android.startwifi;
import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;
import java.lang.reflect.Method;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.net.wifi.WifiConfiguration;
import android.net.wifi.WifiManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.widget.Toast;


public class Main extends Activity {

public WifiManager wifiManager;
public Context context;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    Log.i("hi1","hi");
    createWifiAccessPoint();
}
private void createWifiAccessPoint() {
    WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager)getBaseContext().getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
    if(wifiManager.isWifiEnabled())
    {
        wifiManager.setWifiEnabled(false);          
    }       
    Method[] wmMethods = wifiManager.getClass().getDeclaredMethods();  
    boolean methodFound=false;
    for(Method method: wmMethods){
        if(method.getName().equals("setWifiApEnabled")){
            methodFound=true;
            WifiConfiguration netConfig = new WifiConfiguration();
            netConfig.allowedAuthAlgorithms.set(WifiConfiguration.AuthAlgorithm.OPEN);
            netConfig.allowedProtocols.set(WifiConfiguration.Protocol.RSN);
            netConfig.allowedProtocols.set(WifiConfiguration.Protocol.WPA);

            try {
                boolean apstatus=(Boolean) method.invoke(wifiManager, netConfig,true);          
                //statusView.setText("Creating a Wi-Fi Network \""+netConfig.SSID+"\"");
                for (Method isWifiApEnabledmethod: wmMethods)
                {
                    if(isWifiApEnabledmethod.getName().equals("isWifiApEnabled")){
                        while(!(Boolean)isWifiApEnabledmethod.invoke(wifiManager)){
                        };
                        for(Method method1: wmMethods){
                            if(method1.getName().equals("getWifiApState")){
                                int apstate;

                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
                if(apstatus)
                {
                    System.out.println("SUCCESSdddd");  
                    //statusView.append("\nAccess Point Created!");

    }
    if(!methodFound){
        //statusView.setText("Your phone's API does not contain setWifiApEnabled method to configure an access point");
    }
}

Por lo tanto, tengo las siguientes preguntas:

Me gustaría saber por qué esta aplicación se comporta normalmente en Samsung S3 pero no en otros dispositivos.
¿Cómo puedo solucionar este problema?
