Hello all,
I have been using my hd2 as a wifi router without issue with my desktop pc or my old macbook. I've even been able to watch netflix on them this way.
But I can't seem to get my Sony WIFI enabled dvd player to connect to the phone. The player sees the phone but will not connect. Any suggestions???
Thanks,
Scott

Does your Sony DVD Player support a ADHOC connection? The HD2 only uses a ADHOC connection when using it for a WiFi Router.
ADHOC is a computer to computer connection so it may not support this type of connection.
If you find out it does not support ADHOC, then there might be a work around. It will be a little bit of a pian in the rear but hey it is a work around. If you have a USB port or a Eithernet port on your Sony DVD player you can use your laptop to connect to the DVD player either via USB cable or Eithernet cable and select allow other computers to access the internet via your laptop and then set the connection up on your DVD player and you will have internet access. Sony PlayStation 3 owners have to do this to use the WiFi of a HD2 as it does not support ADHOC connections. With your DVD player being Sony I bet it is the same.
Thank you
You were right, it did not support the ADHOC. It took me a little while but I got it working.
Thank you so much, I really like using all of my unlimited-as slow as it might be at times.

Try googling. There should be solutions.
i m trying to share my computers internet connection to the device over bluetooth personal area network, currently my computer is not detecting the device but it can detect other devices, does anyone has any clue about this ? does our phone support this function ?
Is there maybe any other tool that i could use to share the connection from my pc to the phone over bluetooth?
thanx in advance!
I just bought a Dash Cam that connects to my phone over WiFi . Can I use my Mobile Hotspot feature to share my data with a S7 while I am connected to the Dash Cam? If not can the S7 connect to two networks?
The Dash Cam does not have the capability to connect to a different network.
Yes, you can connect your S9 to the Dash-Cam and the S7 to the S9, but your S9 will disble the Mobile Data and you won't have a connection to the internet. To avoid this, enable "Keep Mobile Data on" in the Developer options.

Will that also work with wifi direct? It turns out that is how my dash cam connects on Android
I really don't know if this also works with WiFi-Direct. You can connect to a WiFi and with WiFi-Direct at the same time, but I'm not sure if you can Create a hotspot and WiFi-Direct.
If you want, you can connect the S7 to the S9 and to the Dashcam via WiFi-Direct at the same time.

Thank you for the info I will try to figure out how to do it. I may be trying to to something easy the hard way. Here is my situation
I have a Toyota Rav-4 with the basic sound. It lets a device connect as Phone or Audio. In order to steam audio to the radio and have GPS go into my ear I have to run the GPS on my S9+ and tether over WiFi a S7 with no service to the S9+ The S7 is connected to the car radio over Bluetooth as the Audio Device.
My new camera a a Nexar uses WiFI Direct to connect to the android phone
Even with the option for turned on in Developer Options the S9+ is popping up a screen that says
Turn off Mobile Hotspot?
Wi-Fi is turned off when Mobile Hotspot is active. To turn on Wi-Fi, turn off Mobile Hotspot
To enable the Repeater-Mode at the S9 you have to go to the Mobile-Hotspot settings and enable the second option (the option under the Password of the Hotspot)

I did that (see attachments) and it is still giving me the same message.
Oh, WiFi-Direct with the Hotspot is not working, I thought normal WiFi with hotspot is not working.
You can try to connect the phones with an usb cable and the otg adapter from the s9. Then enable USB-Thetering at the S9 and it you can connect it via WiFi-Direct to the Dash-Cam.
If I do that won't I lose the ability to charge the phones?
It would be so much easier of Waze had an option tho output directions to my Bluetooth earpiece
To charge the phone you would need a adapter or a wireless charger.
