I have a tablet which enables 3G internet via dongle, but if I don't have any dongle attached, it will show zero signal. My phone, however, shows maximum 3G signal even though I didn't activate 3G. I'm using Reverse Tethering, but the Play Store and apps need 3G/WiFi connection to download data. On my phone (Nexus One) I could fake the 3G by activating it before starting the reverse tethering, and the Play Store and apps would work and download data. Can I somehow do it on the tablet? I don't think it's illegal/impossible becase I don't need 3G internet, I just need a fake "active 3G connection".

I'm trying to download large app sizes on the Amazon and Android Markets but don't have a wifi connection available. Anyone have any idea to get around the restriction? I use AT&T in the US if that makes any difference. Where I live there are no open wifi points, and am stuck tethering for my internet connection.
I just bought a chromecast and I'm trying to figure out if I can get my GNexus to host the hotspot and be the chromecast remote.
In more detail:
I do not have internet from a cable/satellite company. The only internet connection I have is through my cellphone hotspot.
Chromecast will be connected to the internet through my cellphone hotspot (SSID: AndroidAP).
When my cellphone has the hotspot running it does not show up on its own network (AndroidAP).
I need the phone to show up on the network (AndroidAP) so that I can see the chromcast and use the phone as a remote.
Is this even possible?
Really? No one?
Is it possible?
I'd be very curious to know if this is possible or not. I found this thread because I'm wanting to do the very same thing. I still have unlimited data through vzw so this would be terrific if there was a way. The only thing is that the wifi turns off when the hotspot is turned on (at least on mine) so there would have to be a way to get it to connect to its own hotspot without making mobile data shut off.
Same thing needed Badly here @@
I also want to connect my moto e to it's own hotspot for remote control my tablet using my phone as mouse(specifically) and keyboard/joystick.
(I know keyboard and joystick can be possible without doing that but MOUSE can't)
Hellllllllpppppppp ......
1.5 years later and there's still no way to do this. Not only that this is the only page on the internet about it.
The de thread here
I want to use my phone WiFi network to connect my PC to it and then use the phone to remotly control keyboard and mouse on my PC over WiFi, but I just can not connect my phone to it's own WiFi network. :/
One thing I could do is using a WiFi extender to connect both devices to, but then I couln't get the devices connected to internet since they're connected to a "no-internet" WiFi extender network.
Still nothing? I need it to use my security camera which needs internet connection. I also need to be able to view it on my phone using the camera app but the devices have to be on the same network. Sux that i can't do this.
is there a way to use the wifi network just for lan and the 3g network for internet at the same time?
i'll explain my issue:
when i connect my phone to my odb2 dongle using wifi i can use the odb2 interface but i have no access to internet...
while driving i'd like to record my car activity and use internet as well.
so i need wifi on to connect to the odb2 (but no internet access)
and 3g to use internet at the same time.
i've googled it but unsuccesfully.
do you have any suggestion?
ps: my device is a note3 (unrooted)
bye
Hi everyone, I have a question that i can't quite seem to find an answer to any where i look.
I am a recent android convert, i had ios on my iphone and ipads for many years. I use a wireless hard drive that has its own wifi signal, which i connect my devices to. The problem with doing this is that the device thinks then that it should get all of its internet from that wifi connection, which of course, being a hard drive, it does not have.
To get around this what i have done is go in my IOS configuration and remove the "default gateway" or "router" or whatever you want to call it (depending on your networking background), and then iOS knows to go ahead and not use wifi and continue to send any non local traffic over LTE.
My Samsung Note 5 doesn't seem to want to do this. First thing, when i try to remove the router/gateway from the ip address configuration in wifi, the "save" button is grayed, meaning i cannot save a blank gateway. I located an app on the app store called "wifi settings" which was suggested to use to set the router to nothing, but still this did not work, really what it did was save a 1 in the router/gateway field and caused nothing to work, not even local traffic.
The Note 5 has a "smart network switch" option which is apparently to detect a poor wifi signal and switch to LTE, if i enable this, the phone does realize that the wifi connection to the wifi hdd doesn't have an internet connection, but terminates the wifi connection, thus killing my connection to my hard drive.
My question, does anyone know how to configure the wifi on android to access local resources via wifi while still using the 3g/4g connection for internet traffic?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks much.
I'm curious ─ after wasting lots of hours of research I couldn't find the answer I wanted. Can Android be forced to ALWAYS use cellular data (HSPA+, LTE, etc.) even when connected to WiFi ─ independed if the WiFi network has internet access or not.
The situation here on my side is as follows:
× I have unlimited LTE data, calling time and messages.
× I have 2 SIM cards (Smart-SIM) and one contract, one in my phone and one in my Wi-Fi LTE modem (to online on Laptop, Gaming Consoles, TV, etc.) ─ yes I'm a cellular data only person. Cable sucks in my region.
It is useless to turn on WiFi since its basically the same connection (well, actually not), but sometimes I need to connect to WiFi for local streaming content to my TV. While connected to WiFi I want my phone to use cellular data for Internet instead of WiFi to not unnecessary slow down the modems connection and therefore slow down download rates when for example I download games on consoles.
Long time ago where I used iOS, I used a Cydia tweak to accomplish this on an iPhone. The question is, can the same accomplished on Android too?
