I know, but the connection on my pc says "limited connection" and there is no connection to the internet.

Galaxy S2 Hotspot feature does not work
Same Problem with my Samsung Galaxy S2...
I also now have a Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE with the same problem... hotspot not working correctly....
Everything works fine with the hotspot feature on my 1 year old HTC Desire HD...
So why not with the new phone?
I have a Galaxy S2 LTE and an HTC Desire HD. No problems with the HTC Desire HD.
1) The Galaxy S2 LTE's WiFi Hotspot feature does not work. My computer and other mobile phones can CONNECT to the WiFi Hotspot of the LTE, but then there is no internet available on my laptop or other mobile phones.
The older HTC Desire HD's WiFi hotspot works perfect and lets other devices connect to the internet through it.
2) The Galaxy S2 LTE's Video Camera has no autofocus. I found this to be true on all Galaxy S2's as well. My 1 year old HTC HD Desire has autofocus on the video camera.
Why is a NEWER, supposedly better phone, like the Galaxy S2 and the Galaxy S2 LTE worse than a one year old HTC Desire HD?

if u having limited connectivy, check your laptop setting. in status, check 'dhcp enable'. mine by default is 'no', so my laptop cannot assign IP to the connection. You just need to use troubleshoot and windows will fix it.

Open Garden WiFi not compatible with ICS?

Hey all, I've been using Open Garden Wifi tethering on my unlimited data Verizon 4G Samsung Droid Charge to provide internet for my prime.
It was working perfect, without a hitch, but now that Ice Cream Sandwich has been installed my network wont even show up on the list. Interestingly, the network shows up on WiFi Analyzer on the prime. Anyone else have this problem?
Its been working for me but im on a 3g incredible
what frequency channel, transmit power, and LAN network settings are you using?
I have the same issue actually. My prime cannot connect to my CM7 hotspot app that's integrated into the ROM, nor open garden, nor Wireless tether (open source)
What gives?
Hey guys,
I can connect perfectly fine to my old HTC Desire (CM9 WiFi Hotspot) or HOX (HTC Sense WiFi Hotspot) but Open Garden doesn't work.. too sad. (All Devices with Android 4.0.3 or above [the Desire])

[Q] samsung sii not connection to laptop hotspot through 4g device

I have a 4g device connected to my inspiron laptop and the internet runs just fine, however i made my laptop a hotspot my creating an adhoc connection.
But my samsung sii doesn't connect to it and neither does it show that a wifi connection to connect exists, my friend has an iphone, and his phone connected immediately to this hotspot, so its working and not working, not sure if i need to check my phone because it does connect to other connections or i need to modify some setting in my laptop just for sii as it works for others

[Q] phone not connecting to laptops hotspot

hi fellows
i just installed a 4g device in my laptop for internet access. It working fine. Next i made the laptop a hotspot via adhoc connection and after that though internet is fine but i am unable to connect my samsung sii via wifi with it. Even though a friends iphone connected to my lappys hotspot but my phone doesn't and neither does it show that a hotspot/ wifi connections exists.

Ad Hoc was designed only for local connections, not Internet.
Use Connectify to make hotspot.

You need to setup a virtual router or if your laptop has a router you can share net via that, originally custom roms does not support ad hoc, but certain roms are modified to enable it.
Using GT - I9100
I thank those who give helpful comments
I expect the same from others.
Router has wlan infrastructure mode, not adhoc. It doesn't matter if the ROM supports it or not.

Wifi tether not showing up on Android 4.0+ phones

Hi there,
I have an unlocked T-Mobile mytouch 3G that I'm trying to share my wifi connection from. My computer can see the WiFi tether with no issues.
My wife's Droid Pro running a version of Android 2.3 can see the connection(as an Ad Hoc connection).
However my Galaxy SIII and my friends S2 both on Android 4.0+ cannot see the wifi signal.
I'm currently using Wifi Tether Root but have tried a few different applications. Any ideas of what I can do?

Wifi tethering connected devices limit

Hi,
Two months ago I installed Cyanogen ROM (Kitkat 4.4.4) on my Samsung Galaxy Ace mobile. Now I am trying to enable wifi tethering for my 3G sim using my mobile.
When I enable wifi tethering I can't get internet on more than one connected device (if there is only one device connected it can access the internet, but when another device connects to the tethering wifi network only the lastest one can access the internet while the first one can't even ping the mobile ip !!)
I tried "Foxfi" and "wifi tether for root users" application, with no hope.
Can I connect more than one device to my Samsung Galaxy Ace wifi tethering network using my current Kitkat ROM? if I reinstall the original stock ROM can that fix the problem? is this a hardware limit or a software limit?
As far as Im aware only one phone can connect to wifi hotspot on ace (cm 10.2,cm11).If second connects first one drops (in my case).For stock I honestly do not know as I've never used it while I was on it.
If you have time and are willing to flash stock,please report result as Im also very curious whether its a hardware of software limitation!
CM ROMs have wifi issues.
