Hi there! I have a tablet with a 3g dongle and i want to turn it into a hotspot for my phone. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a built in hotspot function. Are there any apps that can turn it into a mobile hotspot?

Hello Team, I have a number of questions regarding the recent ICS Passion v12.
1. I tried Open Garden and it doesn't work, any one know of a fix?
2. I have read all the GPS issues and fixes but nothing seems to work, any suggestions, I read somewhere that perhaps a new kernel but not sure. any help is appreciated.
Thanks

If I can only get help with getting Open Garden to work or perhaps reconfigure the adhoc or wifi settings, I will be so glad. I am sort of kind of used to the gps issue and working from all the posts and things I can search for but the Open garden is critical cause I have a galaxy tab 10.1 and rely heavily on the ability to tether my phone to the tablet. It did work on CM 7 but this ROM Is NICE and I would just love to have this work on ICS Passion, please help , much appreciated

ICS Passion has a built-in mobile hotspot feature. You can access it at System Settings > Wireless & Networks (More...) > Tethering & portable hotspot

Is that feature free?
If you are looking for a 3rd party wifi tethering solution that requires root access to run, you can give Barnacle a try Here

I have barnacle and Open Garden and Wifi tether. I was able to only get wifi tether working versus the other two because the other two operate in adhoc mode and they (the other two) do not have the ability for an end user to change the phone profile. Even though I am using a Vibrant, I had to change the profile in "Wifi tether" to Samsung Nexus and the problems went away
Thanks for you input

the purpose of hotspot is to have Internet Sharing, not LAN

Maybe what you're tring to do is called Wi-Fi Direct? Try it, it is in settings.

Due to lack of SIM card, I know I can't share the internet connection. What I want to do is to create a LAN.
It is possible, right?
I havd tried to install on off tool from my Xperia V, and add a widget on desktop. I successfully turned on the WiFi hotspot, but I can't set something like SSID, Password.

WiFi direct is only for two devices connection, and I need LAN to do something.

Hey guys, are there any apps that activate the hotspot without being rooted?
Thanks!

Wifi tether router in the app store... 2.50
Didn't this fellow ask about this being unrooted? Long story short, not without rooting and unrooting at the least and then you have to deal with changing the network name each time. Best choice is to stay rooted And use Wi-Fi tether router.
Hi all
A while since posted but grateful for all info Ive learnt from this site re rooting etc.
Anyway my query...
What is different about these two settings?
first the background.....
I have a Nexus 4 with a contract that includes unlimited data and up to 4GB of tethering.
My provider has a website that shows a live figure for the amount of data ive used
Now the issue/question....
when I use the "portable wifi hotspot" on Kitkat I can tether my laptop or ps4 to it and it never registers any tethering use... Fantastic!
Then I updated to Lollipop and tried the same and it registers/uses all tethering unfortunately!
Not happy with this I rooted my nexus4 and reinstalled the official kitkat4.4 from the google developers website and thankfully its gone back to my network provider not being able to monitor my tethering use.
So what has changed?
Is there a way around this?
Im tempted to buy the samsung note 4 whilst its still on kitkat4.4 just purely for my tethering benefits but will there be software on that allowing the monitoring?
Thanks in advance for all/any help
Do you want to monitor the data which consuming from your device ?

No I dont want to monitor the amount of data Im using.
I want to continue tethering my laptop to my phones data plan without my network provider knowing, as I can with Kitkat4.4 but not with Lollipop5
Oh, I think it's cavity "lake" in kitkat an Google fixed it, in lollipop so you have to try finding a new method to do that. If you can explain more how you did that, I will try to help you.

Sorry Im not sure what cavity lake is.
As for how I did it. its simply the option in settings; wireless&networks; More; Tethering & portable hotspot; Portable Ii-Fi hotspot; Then I just ticked the box and it works perfectly, no method or extra apps required.
Its a UK issued nexus4 from google on a uk network if that makes any difference
Thanks
Maybe you should to install a hotspot app such as this app : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kr.core.technology.wifi.hotspot&hl=en .

Thanks for the suggestion, luckily ive rooted my phone back to 4.4 so all is working OK I'm just interested to know why, maybe a change in monitoring/tracing software by google?
Anybody else have an idea?
Or advise if Sammy note4 works OK?
Hey, late reply but what network was able to monitor your usage after upgrade? I'm on UK network and my Xperia has just been offered the 5.0 upgrade but I don't want to upgrade if it will limit my tethering.
I don't know about this feature of turning our android device into Wi-Fi repeater until I come across this app Fqrouter2 and the sad part is, it's not working currently I don't know the reason, it's even pulled down from the Play Store. Is there anyone in development interested in making such app or already trying? I searched the internet and couldn't find a similar app like this, it has other features as well but Wi-Fi repeater/extender caught my eye. If anyone can come up with only Wi-Fi repeater/extender feature app, that would be great. Thanks.

AFAIK most devices/wifi chips can use either AP mode (WiFi Hotspot) or connect to an existing WiFi. I guess it just works with some devices/WiFi chipsets.

Even I was under this impression for long time. I got to know with this App you can use Wi-Fi and Extender(Hotspot) simultaneously.
Edit: It works only on rooted devices, I can install the app but unable to execute it on both Marshmallow and Kitkat.
I wish there is one. Wifi extender/repeater is a catching feature

Try netshare-no-root-tethering on Google Play, tested and works on my Marshmallow device. You connect to a wi-fi, turn on the netshare app, and it creates another wifi network like mobile hotspot that other devices can connect to.
So does FQrouter2 still work on Android 4.2.2? Or did it require ancient versions of Android to work?

As far as I can tell, this is the only working app. Tested on AOSP Marshmallow Galaxy S4 - I took my sim card out to make sure it wasn't using mobile data, and it works! Shares your WiFi as another network. Unfortunately the app is ugly as all hell and doesn't let you change the name or password of the hotspot. Plus it requires you to use some dodgy proxy thing so it's not quite as good as fqrouter used to be. Anyone know of any other apps?
EDIT: also doesn't seem to play well with HTTPS

Hey mate! Do you have apk of the pro version of this app? Thanks.
Alternative
By the way, i found this similar app in Playstore which is completely free. ) See attached.
It still requires a proxy to be able to connect the devices.
Unfortunately, I need an app that will repeat wifi without the need for a proxy, as the device I want to use it on has no options to enter proxy.
