I rely a lot on 3g data more so than WiFi and was wondering if there is any way to make apps that use only WiFi like 4od to stream over 3g instead of wifi, I think it can be done on iPhone(jail broken) but can't find something similar on android ?????

I can't get my browser to work on 3G - everything else works(Market, YouTube app etc.)
I've tried to re-add the setup for Internet - which doesn't work.
The browser works a charm, when i'm on WiFi. Problem is that i'm hardly near a Wifi network, so i really need my 3G connection.
What to do ?
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 have been searching for this particular problem but I didn't find anywhere and seeking a solution here which I think is the most suitable place.
I want to tether Wi-Fi data and not the cellular data. Reason is that one can use Wi-Fi data freely from many other sources and like to use that in our laptop instead of the expensive cellular data.
I have figured out two methods, but that have their own limitations.
(i) One can use USB tether (easytether apps) to use wi-fi data. In this method the positive thing is that one can tether either of the data i.e. wi-fi data and cellular data. But the thing is that we need a cable always, once we use wifi hotspot then we only can use cellular data. In this method the disadnantage is we always need a cable and sometime it frequently gets disconnected.
(ii) Second method is using bluetooth one can tether the Wifi data. For example using Foxfi apps one can use Wi-fi data by activating Bluetooth DUN ( and there could be many more apps like Foxfi). But the disadvantage is internet is very slow even when the wifi data is high speed.
One obvious question is if I need wifi data then why do I need to tether through the phone. But there are situation when I can't connect the wifi directly due to some reason. Secondly, suppose the main wifi has got some proxy authentication but in my phone I could connect the same wifi but without the proxy authentication and if some how I tether that to laptop then I can connect internet directly without any proxy.
So I curious to know is there any way to tether the Wifi data (not the cellular data) using hotspot or any other way.
When i enable wifi hotspot or wifi tether it shuts down wifi. some apps do not communicate with same network even though it can ping each other.
Obviously, WiFi tether/hotspot needs the same WiFi transceiver that is used for WiFi reception, so they can't work continuously. You won't find any phone that doesn't have it the same way, because it doesn't make any practical sense to have both WiFi and WiFi hotspot on at the same time.
When you hotshot you can only share your mobile internet over wifi as the wifi of the phone cannot simultaneously receive and share Internet. You can only receive mobile internet and share wifi, hope that clears things up a little
Like it was said earlier, you can only choose to connect to the Internet or share it, not both at the same time.
Specifically, why is it that some features which only like to work over Wi-Fi, such as screen mirroring from my phone to my PC, will not use the Wi-Fi hotspot connection from the same device? I noticed similar issues trying to set up a Chromecast without a router. I do not have home internet, only my phone. It seems to me that the programming for something like this should be incredibly easy. Have the hotspot treated as a Wi-Fi network with an API, so apps that specifically need to use a Wi-Fi connection can just use that. Why wouldn't this work?
