Hi,
I'm getting a galaxy s3 very soon and I'm thinking about getting a nexus 7 with it.But as you know,nexus 7 doesn't have 3G so my only option to access network on it when there's no wifi network available is to use my future s3 as a wifi hotspot.So my questions are:
1-Is data consumption when using the phone as a wifi hotspot the same as if I'm normally using 3G on the phone itself ?
2-How long can an android(specifically the S3 if it matters much) act as a wifi hotspot before the battery runs out ?

1. Yes.
data consumption will be sum of what you consume on your phone + on your tablet.
2. Battery life when using Wi-Fi hotspot depends on data activity. During light/no data activity via hotspot, your battery will last longer than heavy data activity.
-I have galaxy SII and I get more than 5 hrs (8hrs max) on the average when using my phone as Wi-Fi hotspot.

Please help. Which app can I use to measure the usage of 3g data. I have tried 3g watchdog, call meter NG, etc. All don't work

Sorry guys. I have got a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

Try Data Counter Widget... You can set it up to do what you need.

I think I've been using 3g watchdog since the day the first android device was released in canada(may 2009) and I've never had any issues with it.

Yes, but 3G Watchdog doesn't work on European GT10.1 3G.
I have tired 3G Watchdog and Droidstats - both don't work on GT 10.1v
After un-installing both I re-installed 3G Watchdog, and it seems to be working
Hi guys,
As far as I know (but please let me know if I'm wrong), no usage counting application works correctly with the Galaxy Tab 10.1, I guess it must be a problem with the Android implementation on the tablet.

I know my question might seem idiotic, but I use GTab 7510. Since I am on wifi only I connect to 3g data through my craddlepoint travel router with a Huawei modem stick. Is there a specific widget or app which can see different data usages from different hotspots? This would relieve me from taking my modem, stick it on a PC and ask the provider how much data usage have I got.
Hi all,
Any significant difference between the wifi only and wifi+3G? Plan to get a wifi version only soon. A bit worried as Samsung likes to do this, just like the old 7 inch tab and Galaxy S2.
Any wifi only user here can give some opinion? Thanks~
Not sure what you mean. Samsung likes to do what exactly?
I like my wifi only 10.1. I have a 6GB data plan on my Galaxy S2 and can tether all I want. It made sense to use the S2 as a wifi hotspot rather than add an additional device to my mobile plan. Your mileage may vary.
I have 10.1 wifi (GT-P7510) and I love it. My bud has the 3G version and it runs pretty much exactly the same. I like the development for the wifi one better. If I NEED internet on it and I'm not in a wifi area (I usually am), I just tether my phone to get interwebz.
Hi, I have an S3 phone with data cellular phone through SIM card and a little portable router with data cell too that can share its connection through wifi.
I'm looking for an app to switch my phone in default on Wifi when its cellular data connection is on 3G; but when it is on 2G or no data I wish the phone switchs on 3G data cell on phone if it's available?
Do you know something?
I hope anyway this post will be an urge for developers!!!

Hi,
the mobile data connection is switched off automatically when my S2 is in standby. Using Omega 19.2 rom. Is there a setting for that? I have no energy saving turned on.

Ask in the S2 forum. You'll get more and better replies.
I've tried using my LG G2 and my friends Galaxy S5 but when the Nexus 9 connects it has an exclamation mark next to the WiFi and there's no internet access... Anyone else having this problem?
I occasionally lose connection to my wifi network, maybe once or twice a day. I seldom had that problem with other tablets.
