Hi,
I've notice that when installing cyanogenmod 9, the tablet see itself as a phone and not a tablet. Even the most recent also include the cellphone signal icon as no service even on a wifi only tablet.
The reason why I raise this up is that it cause some problem in how internet sharing is managed.
I'm trying to use my cell phone internet on my tablet via bluetooth. When trying to connect via bluetooth my cell phone and my tablet so I can share my Cell phone internet on my tablet, they both only show the option to share internet...
Internet sharing via bluetooth is really amazing on battery life of both device ! I can last days on standby with just basic email notification...
Anyone have a solution to this ?
Thanks

I can confirm that this issue is present on the stock ICS rom (XXLQ8).
I can pair my tablet and phone, however, I cannot tether to the phone via bluetooth.

Hi all,
I got problem with internet connection on my HD2 (ROM 1.48). There are 2 ways I connect to the internet - WIFI and GPRS. GPRS connection works fine - I can download and read e-mails, make backups with MyPhone, update weather information, etc. But when I connect to the internet with WIFI, there are only 2 things I can do. I can browse web pages with Opera and update Twitter messages. But I can´t download e-mails, make backups, update weather information, etc. When I try to update or backup something, there is connection error (through that connection between phone and router is fine and web pages are running).
It seems to me like most of applications want to connect to internet via GPRS only. Is there any way to set up (or check) the phone to connect to the internet via WIFI when it is turned on?
Thanks for any advice
Sorry cant help but agree - it would be fantastic if there was some way of knowing / controlling when it used GPRS data and when it uses wifi. When wifi availabe obviously would rather use that than be charge a small firtune for data.
Any one out there about to help with this??
Internet browsing
Ditto. I can - after HUGE effort - connect WiFi but I cannot browse the internet using either Opera or IE. 2 year old Nokia connected and browsed literally within 2 secs! Also, the phone keeps connecting via GPRS all the time even with data connections off. Can anyone help? Thanks PS I know it's unproductive & forgive me, but I have to get this off my chest: this is the worst cellphone I've ever owned. Bluetooth doesn't work, internet doesn't work, handsfree car kit doesn't work. Does anything work?

correction, YOUR Bluetooth doesn't work, YOUR internet doesn't work, YOUR handsfree car kit doesn't work.
Get it exchanged. (if they genuinely dont work)
@others, go to settings menu all settings connection connections advanced select networks.
there are two dropdowns, in teh top one should be the name of your mobile data, , this is what automatic progs will use to connect to the web, in teh bottom one it should be 'the internet' (or sometimes 'my work network'), meaning they use wifi if available, and data if not.
(At least thats how they should work....)
If you set the top one the same as teh bottom one, nothing should try to use mobile unless wifi is not connected.
Could be a proxy problem? some operators set up a proxy, which can screw with connections.
samsamuel: Thank you for your advice. I´ve tried it - in both dropdowns I got "my work network", but no success.
I´ve found something interessting. When I turn on YouTube client (using WIFI), I can´t play videos. That should be ok when I got problem with internet connection. But YouTube client shows on the welcome screen preview of today´s added videos. So the question is why should application download preview of video, but it can´t play the video? I´m a little bit confused
Thanks for the suggestion, but I had tried that already and it did not work. I don't think it is just my cellphone. There are many comments re the HD2 that make it clear that it does not work with a Parrot handsfree carkit, Motorola S9 headset etc, and the 2 earlier posts reveal problems using WiFi too. It seems to be problematic on many fronts. I cannot even connect it using Windows Mobile via an USB port! And while I appreciate all suggestions it seems to me that this model is a (very expensive) lemon and frustrates huge numbers of owners. I find it odd that a 2 year old Nokia N95 can connect and browse instantly and a 'smart phone' doesn't work at all. I find it to be very gimmicky. I don't need twitter, facebook etc. I need voice dial, good PC software (like Ovi and PC suite) and bluetooth that works etc. The HD2 has none of this, but great graphics of a windscreen wiper, exactly the sort of pointless gimmick that reveals that the designers were interested in making a toy and not a useful phone.
I suggest you try and install "HTC_Wi-Fi_onDemand_by_Krocher". This program will always use wifi when available and stop the GPRS from connecting and will also keep your wifi on a stand-by. Please do read through the thread as you have to make sure that no programs using wifi are activated when you want it to be off. For me it solved several problems with wifi.
Second thought is to upgrade to one of the much more stable and already tweaked OS's. There are quite a lot out and you'll find everything about that on this forum as well.
Last thought, if it does not work it must be something to do with either the settings or the OS version as for others it works absolutely fine. These are complicated phones that, much like computers, must be set and tweaked to the correct settings in order to get the best out of them. If you just want a "buy and run" phone this is not the one.
Success,
Itamar
I need to do the same thing i do with connectify but in my phone, i connect to the web with my wifi and share internet with the same wifi adapter.
i been looking into it for a while and people keep on say that i need 2 widi adapter for it but is SO no true coz i have and use only 1... I don't wanna use bluetooth at all or connect it with usb.
If anybody knows of an app that does this magic please let me know.
Thanks.
Have you tried wifi tether?

Thanks for the reply.
I havent find a tethering app that let me share my wifi connection over the same wifi adapter.
I am not looking to share my data plan by the way, Connectify work as a wifi repeater, so you log in to a wifi and the software let you share that same connection any way you like even simultaneously over the same wifi adapter.
I'm sure you have good reasoning, but why don't you connect the other device directly to the same wifi your phone is connecting to? are you trying to use your phone as a range extender?
If that is all you are doing, seems to me to be a waste of a good device.
You could go to dd-wrt.com, find the list of supported routers, then buy a cheap router that is supported and then flash that firmware. Then set up as needed.
I have been using that for years, except in wireless bridge mode.

I know this thread is super old...
one reason i have is open routers that need a login after connection. I have yet to get a repeater to work with one of these networks but connectify works as you connect your computer say yes i accept and then start sharing it.

You mentioned that the WIFI Repeaters donot work with Open Networks. Are you talking about "Wireless Repeaters and Range Extenders"? such as this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SQvaGEKOxc
fqrouter2 is the solution
Use fqrouter2 for rooted Android devices and you have a perfectly working WiFi Repeater (available free in Google Play Store)

Hello npg500, I installed the app you suggested but i am not satisfoed with it.
fqrouter doesnot "externds the range" of the WIFI. it just routes the internet connection though the Android phone it runs on (possibly by the MITM), keeping the routed device on the same network as it was before. i installed fqrouter to increase the signal strength from my Basement wifi. but no success. it shows my PC in the Scan area. but as mentioned it doesn't extends the Range.
Anynody having any idea what App can serve that functionality? Or Am I doing something wrong somewhere?
Anyone can suggest how to work this wifi repeater or extender mode on S5?
fqrouter is saying wifi is not supported on S5 but it does have MITM
Hi guys i see you know sometging about this...basically my neighbours gave my wifi password i typed it on android and i taught to share the connection from phne to laptop..is that possible?

You can simply view the password from your phone and input it in your laptop. Or, except you are experimenting something.
Am I missing out something?
XDA, you really are my last hope.
I use my phone as my primary internet device. Tethering works fine for 15 mins and then one of two things happens:
1) Computer doesn't load webpages (stuck on looking up....). Have to turn my computer's wifi off and on again.
2) Tethering is still 'on' but the hotspot vanishes (have tested this on more than one computer) have to turn wifi off and on again.
Problem number two is by far the most frustrating but both are seriously annoying as I cannot play online games or download files and my girlfriend work is constantly interrupted.
I have tried:
1) using FoxFi - Works but same issues as native tethering software.
2) Rooting and using barnacle, wifi tether, OpenGarden WiFi (get 'could not set ad-hoc mode of wlan0: op. not supported on transport endpoint.)
3) Turning off fast dormancy (no difference).
4) Setting Wi-Fi to always on.
5) Turning off Wifi Power save mode.
6) Searching google, asking reddit, searching XDA, crying.
If you can fix this once and for all, I'll send you $10 over paypal (if that's not against the XDA T&Cs). I'm a poor student, but I am THAT desperate.
Many thanks.
New Samsung Galaxy S3 (International GT-19300).
UK 3 Network - The One Plan.
HSPA+ Area.
Stock firmware, Android 4.04

Rooted (problem both before and after root)
Tell me if you need more information.
And I will press that thanks button, you have my word!
Last one.
I don't have a solution for you, but I can share my experiences regarding the same problem you are having. I also tether a lot and for that, this phone has been awful thus far. I have pretty much given up on wifi tethering for now and am tethering using bluetooth since that seems to be working MUCH better for me. So do give bluetooth tethering a try too if it's possible for you.
I get random drop outs in my mobile data connection - this happens all the time, also when I'm not tethering. I have been trying out different modems to help with this, and now I have found a modem that works pretty well for me. I'm using XXDLIB firmware (Jelly Bean) and have found that the modem that works best for me is XXDLI4.
Maybe through additional testing of different modems I would be able to find one that works even better, but I've been doing this for a long time now and getting pretty tired of it!
Wifi tethering for me on DLI4 modem is now OK - not great, not even good - just OK. It feels much slower than bluetooth tethering and is still unreliable so I go with bluetooth for now.
Sorry if this wasn't helpful at all... :angel:
I m having problems with my wifi Signal connection at home.. so i searched lots of blogs and sites, that is it possible to use android phone as wifi repeater, the answer is no..
SO today, a strange thing happened.. :silly: :laugh:
I connected my MICROMAX A25 to wifi (main router network)...
after connecting to wifi, i turn on the portable hotspot and the wifi does not turn off (whether in other android phones wifi automitically turns off when the portable hotsport is on) my phone starts sharing my main wifi network (DATA CONNECTION IS OFF at that time)
My problem is solved and saved some bucks, while i m gng to buy a Repeater tomorrow..
But sadly this process is not working on other phones, but this process can be used on all by little bit tweaking or hacking...
Plz developers made it possible for other phones also.
For A VIDEO U can search my channel on YOUTUBE- gorkijatt
There's an app
I use fqrouter2. its available at the ply store. Works like magic.:good:
Also can use Android phone as 5G Receiver
So I use a HP laptop with a weak, pathetic 2.4GHz Ralink card. I also read about the TONS of problems people have getting around HP's BIOS whitelist - meaning if its not HP approved, you can't do a hardware upgrade yourself, or have to buy the HP (pricier) alternative. Or have to hack the BIOS.
Today out of necessity I just used my Nexus 5 to connect to a 5GHz network, then USB-tethered it to my HP. It worked like a charm! The laptop surfs. Oh yea.

Unfortunatelly works only on rooted phones
Any idea how to use cell phone as a WiFi repeater without having to ROOT the phone?
Links no longer working... please update!
That app doesn't work for me as the download links are broken. Do you have a mirror link?

Try Netshare No Root from the Play Store. It works great.
Recently my friend came across a device named Hisense E76 snapdragon 430 Android 6 which has the feature to repeat WiFi signal while connected to a WiFi network means the device can connect to a WiFi and also can tether or hotspot that signal like a laptop
So how can we also get that feature in any android or iOS phones if anyone can suggest or help about this it will be helpful or any app which can enable this feature for any phone.
Here are many hardworking developers if someone can help me out it will be helpful because I have a old phone lying around me I want to use it as a WiFi repeater for my own home's WiFi so if any one can help me it will be great full!!!
