Hi. New N7+ owner here. Have been reading (even before I bought the device) this forum and I am grateful for all the information people have shared here.
There are a few questions I have about the device - I'll ask one for now and hopefully, someone has an idea about it - does the phone (upgraded to 8.1 on purchase) support Wifi Sharing (not sharing your data connection but sharing wifi - like an extender. My previous phone (Samsung S7 7.0 had that and that was very useful for me).
Thanks.

Well as far as i know there is no such native function in the phone itself. But I'm sure there's an app in the PlayStore that would support that function
There is a Wi-Fi Direct option in share menu but couldn't get it work with friends Samsung Galaxy S8+

Hi, I'm buying a Galaxy S 5.0, and like the Galaxy Tab p1010, he don't have 3G, or SIM card. With the Galaxy Tab p1010 can I use a phone with 3G and bluetooth to share internet ? I had a nokia n800 and I was able to do this very easy.
Sorry for my english.
Thanks
Hi rapha lira.
Same as mine.
I also has GT-P1010 and also nokia n900
Don't expect to much with wifi,because it doesn't support ad-hoc networking even you install joikuspot.
neither also with bluetooth.because samsung has use their own bluetooth stack that doesn't support DUN and PAN because my nokia n900 has already support dun and pan.
the only choice is buy 3g modem with wifi infradtructure support.
right now,I am going to hack and replace bluetooth stack samsung with bluez linux universal,hopely can

hum, so the only way to connect to internet is with teether, this is sucks, drain the battery very quickly.
But thank you, I will have to live with that.... Miss my n800, the best tablet, It's a shame that nokia is so dumb to kill maemo, and meego, and symbian, and now making a partnership with microsfot...
Hey! I found this thread when looking for a solution to my problem, but unfortunately this thread does not answer my question, however I maybe able to assist in your situation.
Depending on what phone you currently have (if it's a Nokia smartphone; including s60v3 and v5), you maybe able to tether your 3G/HSDPA for your Galaxy S 5.0. To do this, download and install JoikuSpot on your Nokia (JoikuSpot Premium recommend, to password protect your network). This software will allow you to tether your 3G/HSDPA from your smartphone via an ad-hoc network; the software will create an ad-hoc network.
Unfortunately as the 'Samsung Galaxy S WiFi 5.0' runs on Android, it does not support ad-hoc networks; therefore the network you have created from your Nokia is not detected. However to over come this obstacle, you will need to root and apply a specific patch for Android, which will allow ad-hoc network communication; this will then allow your Samsung Galaxy 5 to connect to your Nokia's 3G/HSDPA.
The patch has been developed by XDA forum member blackplatypus, which you may find here: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/android-ad-hoc-wireless-network-support/
After doing everything above, your problem should be solved!
Enjoy.
.. now, I'm going back to look for a solution to my problem.
Its a good option, but my galaxy have gingerbread 2.3.5 and I cant root him. But thank you, hope you find a solution.
I know this is a little old but I am trying to get this to work..
I am able to get my Tmobile G2X to teether through Bluetooth with my Asus Transformer (3.2 OS) but cannot get my Tab to do the same.. It would be awesome if I could get to work because WIFI teethering kills my battery fast..

Hi guys,
First of all, a great (really great !) thanks to all and everyone involved with the JellyBean evervol rom, it work very very well on my dear old N1...
Well, it works very well but not quite flawlessly for me, and since I have not been able to find complaint about this on the dedicated topic in the android dev section, I post my questions here :
Since about one week ago, I remarked that my phone seems often unable to use the 3G connection : I mean I have full scale network with 3G label in the notification bar, but the logo stays grey (not turning blue) and all data request meet a deadend (chrome, news, gmail, ...) while, if I turn wifi on, it works great ...
And since 2 days ago, I started to have another trouble : my sim card just keep locking itself without (apparent) reason, I have to enter the pin code nearly every 5mn ...
No idea of what may be causing that ...
OK, I think I will in some times fall in love with the Nexus 4, but my N1 still working great with this superb Rom, I would like to wait a little (for instance, the time for Google to announce a 32 Go version of their baby ...)
So many thanks to anyone who can help me puting some additional life into this dear N1 ...
For info, I'm running the 3.1.0p1 version of the rom with a 32.50.00.32U_5.12.00.08 radio and I'm running on the Free Mobile network in France ...
I don't know what additional information I could provide to help, or any diagnostic I can run ?
Thank you in advance for your help ...
Hi guys,
I have been using Android OS for not much time now but just around past 2 years.
Prior to shifting to Xperia TX (the much-hyped Bond series phone), I had been a Samsung customer and had S II before.
What I have noted is that Xperia TX does have Wi-fi Direct feature but does not work as expected.
It was butter smooth for me to share files on S II through wifi Direct but that seems to not work on my Xperia.
I have tried all methods to use it but in vain. When I turn on the wifi Direct, it does connect to my S II but does not move ahead. In addition, there is no option on TX to share via Wifi Direct.
I am left to use third party apps to use normal Wifi hotspot feature.
Can anyone please help me with how to use wifi direct feature on Xperia TX?
(P.S. I know that Android beam does not help in Wifi Direct. It is specifically dedicated for NFC. Galaxy S II does not have NFC feature. Please help me in knowing how can I use just WIFI Direct for sharing files much has music and videos)
Thanks!!!

Hello world
Without having registered I followed for almost two years here in the forum the fantastic work that @Ivan_Meler is providing for owners of an old Galaxy S7. I got mine from my daughter. She wasn't happy any more with it because it was outdated and battery life too short. I do have a mobile phone (Nokia slider-phone), but didn't want a smartphone that calls home to Google and others all the time and is overloaded with bloat-ware. As I prefer Open Source (using Linux (Mint) as normal PC-OS) to saveguard as best as reasonable my personal data, I thought I would try a custom ROM on the S7. It took me some time reading and following up the various little (!) problems the users of Ivan Meler's LOS 18 & 19 had until I decided that it was time to try it out myself.
I got the - I think - usual problems when flashing the S7 with LOS 19.1 and flamegapps. Black screen, boot-loop, etc. but not too nasty. Finally it turned out great; with LinageOS 19.1 and a number of dedicated apps (bromite, k9-mail, Signal, Musicolet music player, VLC, Memorix, Navigator_MapFactor ) and most importantly NetGuard-V2.300 the Galaxy S7 runs like a charm and battery life is excellent. With NetGuard I deny some of the home-phoning apps (especially Navigator) the access to Facebook and Google statistics, etc. A marvelous tool provided by Marcel Bokhorst.
I have to admit that I would not pay nor do any banking with a smartphone, I prefer cash and my LinuxPC for online banking. And until now I have not inserted the SIM-card into the S7 as I still use my Nokia. With the S7 I am using my home W-Lan and throughout the city (in Bavaria) there are free hotspots from BayernWLAN. Ok, you might call me a too conservative user, but for me it works out perfectly. Until now .... we will see how things develop.
Now I have registered and thank @Ivan_Meler and all who support this fantastic forum!
