I have a need to connect to a WiFi device (Camera) not connected to the internet and be able to get internet data via 4G at the same time. Is it possible to force connection to the mobile network for data with the WiFi on? Rooted on KK.
TIA
All I can think of would be to tether your data, portable hotshot to the camera.

No you can't. I would say tether like the previous post said.

Thanks for the replies.
Any suggestions where I can learn about portable hotspots? Is this a device requiring a separate data plan and acts like a mobile wifi access point? The camera I'm attempting to use wants to be on it's own network.
I've tethered before to a PC thru both USB or Bluetooth, but not familiar with hotspot.
You can do wifi tether on your phone...

I've tried Wifi tethering, but the camera wants to act like a router/master and can not be changed. The SSID and passwords are the only settable things.
Ad Hoc is not an option. It does the address assignment and security password management. Maybe I need a different software on the phone? Or maybe a configuration I'm not doing??
I'm from Venezuela, I have purchased a mobile unlocked at & t "galaxy s5 sm-g900a" but as I do not have att sim, apparently I can not use the hotspot.
There is no way to run the hotspot with another carrier?
when trying to enable hotspot says "mobile data is not available or is not a valid sim"
edit: only works through USB.
Have you tried foxfi or tether it?

yes, works great with EasyTether with USB, I've been able to connect via USB and have internet from there.
I'm missing is wifi audit.
:good:
I have the same problem. I would like to tether via WIFI.
Someone could fix it?
Hey I tried fox-fi at work yesterday (I work at hhgregg) to try to provide WiFi to a laptop and it wouldn't work for me. It asked me to install pdanet+ first so I did and it still didn't work. Any way to get WiFi hot spots with this phone without root?

no way, I've tried everything to make it work for wifi and nothing, is completely blocked by the software layer at&t, only works for USB.
I downloaded and tested all applications for wifi tether, and no work, same error.
Well good news, geohot achieved our root at&t.
Now, as you can unlock the hotspot feature to use internet with another operator.
I remember a atrix 2 at & t, was modified somewhat in the system folder, but with this phone do?
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?

Your phone will only tether via mobile data if the rom allows

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.

Planet is Pdanet as corrected by my wonderful spell checker.:cyclops:
I use screenshare to browse with my gear. Very little battery drain. Download it from playstore.
Now that some of us are getting there Note 4 devices.
Has anyone been able to get free tethering or unlocked hotspot?
I have unlimited data plan and 5 GB tethering but on the G3 for example, there is a mod by @autoprime where you can use your mobile data as the hot spot data thus giving you the ability to have unlimited tethering.
Is something like this similar to the Galaxy Note 4?
Im familyer with Foxfi and PDANet but with our device being new, I don't think there compatible.
Any information from anyone would help out allot thanks!

Get an app on the Play Store called WiFi Tether Router - http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter -
Configure it and go down towards the bottom and hit "APN Settings". In there you will see you main APN that is used (fast.t-mobile.com)
You're going to have to make a brand new one with all of the details identical to the original, but where it says "Roaming Protocol", change that from ipv4 to ipv6, that way it is taking off of your data plan and not your tether plan.
That's how it was done on the Note 3, haven't tried on this yet. Haven't had a reason to tether.

Oh wow. I will deffinetly give this a try tomorrow!
From my previous phones I knew changing the ip4/ip6 was the biggest factor. The instructions you listed sounds like success. Will put to test next time I'm free.
It works great. (WiFi Tether Router)
Like devynbf said, just make sure your APN settings are correct.
I installed it and configured it, but I can't see the ssid when it's enabled. I don't have it hidden anyone know how to fix that?

At the beginning when you first hit "configure", it came up with a message that said something (can't rememeber), but try going into...
Configure > Advanced WiFi Options and uncheck where it says "always allow scanning".

I actually tether a lot with my wifi devices and kids' tablets.
So you're confirming that,w ith WiFi Tether Router, you can tether unrestricted?
I'm used just using the native HotSpot since many ROMs include unrestricted native tethering. I just remember that WiFi Tether Router has a lot of settings, but none that were relevant to my devices.
Thanks for your input.

After creating a second APN with the ip4 protocol... Is WiFi Tether App even needed?
On my G3 if u create a second APN the phone on G3 stock ROM wouldn't even let you activate your own APN.
On this Note 4 I created my custom APN and its active. I noticed when I activate the hotspot it stays on my custom APN. Previous phones would force the APN selection to change when u activate hotspot. Not on the Note 4 though.
If anyone is having trouble with this app a new version updated for the note 4 will be released tomorrow on the app store.

Looks its more to it then just changing APN looks like WiFi Tether Router app is needed. I'm subscribed and I'm able to test different things if needed. I have hit my tether limit already of 5GB.
My G3 which I gave to my wife has a mod made by @autoprime and her phone has full unlimited hot spot. All data is counted at mobile data.

Yeah I had that unchecked already, I spoke with the dev and he sent me a modified version compatible with the note 4. There should be a app update coming soon for everyone else. I installed the modified version he sent me and it's working fine now.

Sweet. Can't wait.
Also awaiting modified version lol.
Is this confirmed to work still?
any update to this as i've just recieved the note 4 and won't turn in my note 2 until this is fixed because unlimited tethering is very important to me
I've used WIFI Tether Router for several phones with great success.
I know all about the adding of ,dun to apns
But if you already have root Wifi Tether Router does not need any mods. It might also works on CDMA (roaming), where the ,dun trick does not.
It also might be less traceable by sprint.

I'm rooted and this app didn't work for me. Is there anything special I have to do? My mobile is set to Global. Does it need to be CDMA/LTE?

I think these are the only changes needed from default. I so happen to use no encryption (i.e. Open) and channel = 1 which I think is default.
Interface wlan0
method 2
firmware reload unchecked
I think everything else is default.
If you scroll to bottom of Configuration there is a Link to "devices configurations/website"
I had the Native tether working too and I removed the ",dun" mod from my APN's to test this.
Mine shows Build 165
Does SuperUser pop up to grant permission?
It might not work on roaming (CDMA), same limitation as the Native mod (i.e. adding ,dun).
Who-Hoo Wifi Tether Router works on roaming (i.e. works on non Sprint CDMA Networks). The adding of ,dun to APN's method only works on Sprint Networks (i.e. LTE and eHPRD). WIFI Tether Router works on everything. But you do need root.
Tested on rooted ZV6.
can someone please explain how to add ,dun to apn? ive looked online and see lines of provisional code being added. this was on a tmobile nexus 6 and i wasnt sure if thats the way for all phone. thanks in advance!
There is a video specific to the Sprint phone, where the guy walks through the steps one by one showing each step and result to add the dun info, though I don't recall if it was specifically the apn info that was modified?
Anyway, you need an app that can create shortcuts for hidden features of the phone, as explained on the guide. Install that app, that allows you to run the program built into the phone that lets you edit the thing to add the dun text and save it.
Sorry I don't recall the details, but it's another thread here about free wifi tether or hotspot.

Which hotspot method, Native (with ,dun added to APN's) or WIFI Tether Router?
I saw similar issue when trying to tether on Ev-Do it will connect for a moment and disconnect.
The APN method will not work on Ev-Do (usually that means roaming but not always).
Latest WIFI Tether Router will work on Ev-Do but requires root.

I am having an issue with wifi tether router where it will connect for a while and then the wifi signal will stop on its own. I have to kill and restart wifi tether router to regain a connection. I am wondering if this is a heating problem as the phone gets fairly hot when using wifi tether router. Is there a way to reduce the wifi radio power on the G4?
Uncheck "Allow Wifi Scanning" in advanced wifi settings. Should stop the signal from going away.

So just had something weird happen want to see if anyone else ran into this. I just reset for the month yesterday and My Metro app is showing 1.3 gigs used (all tethered with app). While playing Xbox I get a message saying I have used all of my hotspot data. I checked data usage on Xbox I haven't even used a gig yet. Also they didn't throttle my data. Anyone know what's going on?
