[q] wifi hotspot

I keep reading that this is possible on the hero, both with and without rooting... I know this is a noob move, but will anyone forgive me and point me to the right forum to accomplish this?

Go to the Market and search for Easy Tether. There is a free app and paid app.

tried that, but it doesn't make the phone into a wifi hotspot... unless i'm missing something...

AFAIK, the only way to do what you want is to root and use this app, Wireless Tether for Root Users

+1 this is the only way that I have found. And Btw this makes a wifi tether via ad hoc and therefore is not an actual hotspot. Think tether not router.

Yeah, it's not infrastructure mode, but you can still connect multiple devices at the same time. Some devices won't connect to ad hoc though

Since I have only ever connected one device at a time to my phone, how much slower is the internet connection when more than 1 device is attached at the same time?

Two works ok, but three surfing at once seems to push it

What if I use my linksys router as a repeater or repeater bridge?
Hell I will try it tomorrow and let you know. I have dd-wrt flashed on my router and I can change my wireless mode to anything. i also have 2 separate wireless reapeters.

Yes, that should work in theory. Don't know if it matters or not but our devices run wireless tether in ad-hoc mode, not infrastructure

I know, but I'm hoping that my router will detect it.

I saw a post on the Incredible boards that they got their wifi tether to work in AP mode... is that not possible for us?
also, I've connected up to 5 devices to my phone at once and it doesn't go too slow as long as my phone has a decent ev/3g signal.

4G mobile Hotspot app from Verizon

I have an issue with the 4G mobile hotspot app. Can't connect my tablet, a stock Toshiba Thrive, to the internet via my phone. It recognizes the WiFi hotspot but can't obtain an IP address. Tries to obtain an IP address for a few minutes, stops, then starts over.
I am using Revolt rom 1.5.
I added the 4g hotspot app (from a zip file using CWM) . Insructions and app were in the Revolt 1.5 thread.
My tablet connects to my home WiFi and with the McDonald's Wifi.
I have added the 4G mobile HotSpot to my Verizon account and have received an email from them saying that the feature has been added.

My recommendation would be here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1162170
My bet is that this will solve your issues, and you don't have to fork over those ludicrous rates to Verizon.

This is an issue I've been working on. And, if you are like me and use tethering a lot, better to be safe and keep the tether plan. If you use less than 5 gigs total per month, then ditch the plan. I use anywhere from 35-70 gigs per month as it's my only internet, therefore, worth the extra $30 bucks for 40+ Mbps service.
The only way to get the 4gHotSpot app to work properly is to re-flash with the TOT file via LGNPST and keep it stock. Even just rooting seems to mess it up, but that may be related to installing a root-tether app as it was working right after rooting but not too long after it stopped, possibly after I installed a tether app. Even going back to stock from a backup doesn't seem to help. Something gets changed and messes it up and does exactly what you are referring to. It's related to the DHCP Server and I'm struggling trying to fix that.

Thanks, but that is not working either. I have that app but my Toshiba Thrive tablet will not recognize the ad hoc wireless network. That is what prompted me to go to the Verizon solution.

If you use Wifi Tether for Rooted Users, and choose LG Optimus S as your profile, and the network part to 192.168.1.0/24 it will create a normal network and the tablet should be able to connect.

Yeah, you should use the non-ad-hoc settings recommended in that thread. Others have their tablets working that way.

Ad hoc support for ics?

Hi,
Is there any sulotions for ICS to support ad hoc? I have searched alot and I need to connect my Note to my PC's internet. The problem is that my pc is to old to support connectify etc...
Reverse tethering app uses my data plan in order to appear the connection as 3G. And it uses cable. Not good enough.
Ad hoc would be best option.
Thank you

If you ever heard of an application for Nokia called JOIKU HOTSPOT you will be interested on this topic. I use joiku hotspot on my nokia phone to enable to connect to multiple devices at home. I don't have wired internet. Since this is an ahhoc wifi hotspot I am not updating to ICS unless a hack is available to enable wpa supplicant to "see" the joiku adhoc signal. On gingerbread I had to download and install a modified wpa supplicant file to connect to joiku .

I have used joiku on my nokia
exactly i still dont understand wat exact you want.
You saying reverse tethering have some issue - Now reverse tether application using your wired Internet of your PC for your android device
While Joiku spot is for sharing your device network to PC
So question is you want to share net from your device to PC
OR
want to share PC internet to device?
Edit :wat i understand now is
You dont have wifi router, but just you have created wireless netwok (virtual) and you want to share your device net to PC wirelessly
if yes
try this, it have ad hoc support if i remember correctly, since long i have not used it.

I am not the OP. Anyway I want to share my nokia phone internet connection thru joiku with my galaxy note Wifi. I tried ICS briefly but it does not detect joiku. Back to GB now and I can connect to joiku thru nokia phone.

I don't know. It is strange. If i have no credits in my sim card, and I connect to internet via the app, it goes fine. But I can't see connection as 3G and some apps don't work due to this.
Then when I put credits to my sim card, the connection appears as 3G. And the data plan button turns green whenb checking in setings. If i turn of I lose coonection as 3G. Some times it doesn't use data plan, but often it does.
BTW, I never use data plan for anything it is always disabled, but the reverse tether app turns on.
No idea what is wrong.

So what your saying is, your using BT PAN linking your watch to your phone but you want to use WIFI instead of your cellular data for BT PAN? That works but only with certain BT PAN apps. If I understand your question correct.

Tethered via Bluetooth, using phones wifi instead of data. Works fine with international roms, but with some carrier branded ROMs, if tethering is enabled, wifi is disabled
Gear itself has no wifi, but apps can be tricked into thinking Bluetooth tether is actually a wifi connection via the network spoofer (closed framework module)

So we established there are no apps that will share the wifi internet via bluetooth and that the switching off of wifi during tethering is an automated function. So is there a way to prevent that auto-switch from occurring?
At any rate, if you have the galaxy note 3, and you have a USB 3.0 computer, just tether the internet from USB. Great for when at home, but the downside of this is: if you want to reverse tether from wifi in an airport or coffee shop, then a laptop is required. And at that point, what would you be doing on the watch, that isn't easier on either your phone or laptop, now that you're forced to already have those items out?
Therefore, it would be nice to tether wifi to bluetooth so I can just leave my phone in my pocket and not be forced to use mobile data when I don't want to.

Depends on rom. Most (if not all) international roms can use phone's wifi with Bluetooth tether

Spoofer Module?

This "Closed Framework Module" your refer to, what is it's actual Module Name (I can't seem to find it among the many avaialbel Xposed modules).

Galaxy Gear internet access via 4g lte

I use Null23 with an unrooted Sprint Note 3 to access the internet. I have Bluetooth tethering set on the phone and Bluetooth internet access set on the Gear. I can connect to the internet OK, but only when I am connected to the internet by wifi on the phone. If I set the wifi to off on the phone, the gear will not connect to the internet. Am I missing something? Are the 3G/4G speeds too slow so that the gear doesn't think it is connected?

Thanks for directing to the other thread. It appears that for sprint you still need planet and spoofing even though the note2 lets you check Bluetooth tethering.

Thanx guys..I can tether my device to tablets, pc's etc. but I used to be able to connect galaxy to internet via note 3 and receive a connection even on 4g, now only when I'm connect to wifi. What is planet? I have spoof on null Rom. Thanx again.
