Hello folks.
I would like to be able to use a wifi tether on my mini pro (SK17).
I am rooted on 4.0.2.A.0.58 and did install the Barnacle WiFi Tether.
If I start the program and want it to tether the log only shows "starting..." on the second and further attempts.
The first attempt (when wifi is enabled) I see on the screen (not in the log) "Disabling wifi manager" and the log shows "Waiting until WiFi is disabled".
If I check wifi, it's already disabled.
Anybody an idea what the problem might be?
Heya.
I don't think you need 3rd party applications nor root to do wifi tethering on the sk17, I don't at least. Not sure all sk17 come with this by default as some carriers may dislike it or not grant access to this menu if your phone is branded but try going to Settings -> Wireless & network settings -> Tethering & portable hotspot. You should find a menu with all you need to share your phone's internet. Setup SSID and password, etc.
Hope this helps.
OH. Thank you for the hint. Sure enough found it...
Cool Does it work or are you having trouble tethering that way too?
iirc, it's a new option coming with 4.3. Is it any good? I googled it and didn't find a single result about it..
It's said "auto disable Wi-Fi when Wi-Fi Internet connection is failed". My concern is, if it did disable your Wi-Fi.. will it enable it again? Did anyone have tried it?
Thanks.
Hi All
I have a rooted android TV box that I also use as a wifi router (cable from router is connected to TV Box which is then shared through wifi)
However I have to always do that manually by going into settings. Is there any script that I can launch on startup to enable wifi tethering automatically?
I tried searching but it didnt help.
Thanks in advance.
Recently purchased the LG V30 (ATT) and I'm missing a feature I've had for years on my old phones w/ CM roms. I like my phone to automatically turn on/off WiFI tether when the phone connects to the car's bluetooth. CM roms came native with Profiles and it was a simple setup. I have installed apps like Llama and MyProfiles which technically does the same thing, but in order for the HotSpot to turn on I have to open the phone and unlock the screen. It will message "Authenticating" and the WiFI tether will kick on.
Obviously the phone is non-root. Is there a setting or an app that can bypass the screenlock to authenticate
Thanks,
I would like to have the confimation (unlikely) that in this Android One we cannot disable the wifi network auto reconnect for single saved networks....is that really true?
