Wi-Fi Hotspot dosen't works - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all.
When i'm activate the portable wi-fi spot and try's to connect through it on my home pc it dosen't work.
on the phone is says that it working and every thing is good but my pc writes ''Without Internet Access''
do i need to install something on my pc?
i really need this.
Thx.

Do you have internet access on your phone?
Did you try restarting the PC?
You don't need anything installed.

I'm connecting to Wi-Fi network my phone finds and turns on the portable hotspot,
i'm not connecting to my operator network.
this can be the problem?

You can't share WiFi over WiFi. It should have been pretty clear... You didn't put attention that when you turn on the hotspot, your WiFi doesn't show "ON" anymore?
Well, in any case, that's why you see no internet connection.
You can use USB hotspot instead.

Ohh yeee.. now it works
Thx a lot for the help and the new information

GPRS always tries to connect when connected to thru wi-fi?

anyone know how i can stop this? also when i try to log in on agile messenger, it says cannot connect with the current settings...
anyone suggest why this is happening? and how i can change it so i can log in thru wi-fi?
thanks
Try connecting wifi, then connecting using agile messenger, even if GPRS does connect after that point, it will be using Wifi.
Also make sure your device knows that your WiFi connection is used to connect to the internet and not just a vpn.

WIFI connection

Does anybody know why mi tilt doesn't connect to any wifi connection ?
What happens after you try to connect?
it connects to the wifi network, but non of the programs connect to the internet, for example IE says that "the page cannot be found, check the name an try again" and that's with any page.
Wifi no-connect with USB activesync turned on
With activesync via USB running, I see my WiFi is connected but cannot connect to IE pages. I think activesync creates its own network connection to the HTC. When I dosconnect the USB, everything is OK again...
it dosen't work without the activesync either
Do you get this error when connecting to ANY WiFi point, or just the one in your house/work/whatever?
I get the error when I try to connect to whatever with the wifi connection
Yeah I am having the same problem.
did you try setting your wifi power mode to best performance?
It's set to the best performance
and still noting
i have the same problem, but i discovered that works sometimes.... i dont know if its a Wireless N interference or something like that... i have a Wireless N at home, and i cant connect to any hotspot detected at home (more than 5), but when i go to a coffee store, there i connect smoothly.... its strange.... at home doesn't ask for a password when the router is set to WPA2 or WPA....
does anyone know why this happens ?
change radios
Install another radio. My stock tilt would not connect to any wifi. I tried another rom and then it worked without any issues whatsoever. Make sure you use full power setting.

Is your Wireless N running a mix of B/G/N? Or is it running N mode only?
If its the latter, the Kaiser can only connect to B/G mode.

Using Wifi instead of 3g for Internet Sharing

So my laptops internal wireless card gave out, and while I don't mind using 3g.. wifi is a little faster, so is there a way to use that instead of 3g? I do not see it as an option in the internet sharing app.
thanks
hmm, i think ICS could do that.......... connect via wifi then connect ICS with USB or bluetooth..... hmm, i was thinking wmwifirouter could do it but i am not sure
already tried that. I think that wmwifirouter is for sharing 3g over wireless
simple..I do that all the time.
Turn off Data Connection
Turn On WiFi
Turn On Internet Sharing
..wah-la !
i tried that but under network connection wifi does not appear and it tries to connect to 3g?
I know we can simply connect my HTC via my wireless connection,
but is there a way, presumeably if we want to connect our phone
to the internet via PC. anyone care to share the tricks? thx.

[Q] Tethering working with 3g but not with wifi

Hello,
I am using gueste rom with spica kernel, but I think it is independent of rom/kernel.
When I have internet on 3G on my o2x, I connect it to my laptop and use usbtethering. It works.
When I have internet on wifi on my o2x, I do the same thing but I don't have internet on my laptop.
Wireshark shows that my laptop send packet through my phone and I can ping my phone. But I can't ping website. However dns works (I can see dns packet). On my phone, internet works well.
I don't really know how does tethering work. Maybe it uses iptables/nat ? How can I have working tethering? Thank you.
What WiFi device is your phone connected to and why can't your laptop just connect direct to that? (I'm assuming the laptop has wifi). It's also possible to set your phone up as a WiFi Access Point, that would allow you to connect your laptop wirelessly. As I understand, however, if you use your phone as an Access Point, it won't be able to connect to the internet via WiFi - eg, you could be in field with good 3G, connect your laptop via WiFi to the phone and then surf via WiFi and out via the phone's 3G signal.
The author of Gueste does warn about using spica's "performance packs" for stability issues.

It is a public wifi emitted by a router. It is possible that the router blocks tethering?

I could, the reason is that my wifi signal is weak but at my door. It is just more convenient that my phone is near my door and connected to my laptop. Moreover, I'm studying networks and this issue arouses my curiosity

Question Connect Phone to his own tethered network

Hi !
I have a S21 Ultra, and use it as a modem for my house with wifi tethering.
I can access my printer with my computer on this wifi network
But here is the problem : I can't access the device on this network from my phone.
I can't print from my phone,
I can't use app mirroring on Windows (open samsung flagship apps on W10 computer) because both S21 and computer have to be on the same wifi network.
Is there any way to make the phone part of his own wifi tethering ? Or workaround ?
Thanks !
no what your trying to do is hack someones phone....its not gonna happen!!!!

Don't understand your message... It's my own phone that doesn't detect itself in the wifi network list. I have no problem to connect network from one phone onto another. It is on the same phone, both emitter and receiver

I think you can try to make a hotspot on the PC and share wifi (from the phone) to the PC hotspot and connect the printer itself to the PC hotspot
Tethering is like connecting a modem to a device. Hotspot is creating a local wifi network for devices to connect to.
Tethering vs Hotspot: Difference and Comparison
Tethering allows a device to share its internet connection with other devices via a physical connection (such as USB), while a hotspot creates a Wi-Fi network to share the device's internet connection wirelessly.
askanydifference.com
Based on your description you are creating a hotspot on the phone that the laptop and printer connect to? If so then the phone cannot "join" that network as the wifi stack in the phone is being used to run a network and the phone has access to the mobile data network the wifi is representing.
No, only the computer connects to the phone.
but create a second hotspot on the computer that connects the printer to the computer

Your phone wifi module can either act as a broadcaster or receiver at a time, but not both. It will only handle one wifi network at a time, either the one it's broadcasting (endogenous mobile hotspot) or the one it's receiving (exogenous WiFi)
You can see this as a prompt when you turn on mobile hotspot. Whenever you turn on Wifi Hotspot, your WiFi will automatically get turned off. It will even display a notification and ask for your consent (at least mine does)

Wow! That's nice to hear. Haven't used that feature on a phone before. Didn't know it was doable. Well, I guess you learn something new everyday.
thats what hackers and LEA use.....smh
