So, I'm running OC5 OTA update, rooted of course, and have Hotspot working with the APN dun addition (not Galaxy Tools). Is there any way to keep Hotspot from turning itself off when I get a call while on a 3G network? Id like to keep it running until I choose to turn it off, regardless of the state of mobile data. See attached screenshot.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
Looks like it's not letting me attach my screenshot. See it here: https://www.dropbox.com/sc/73ot1zhyjhtnvrs/AABxxLdUh2USUIpwIddj3c0Ra

This. Only lte and Wi-Fi does your connection remain on, on 3G it disconnects.

Maybe I'm being misunderstood. I know data and voice don't work at the same time on 3G. I want the Hotspot to remain on, even without a data connection so the clients that are connected don't lose their connection to each other. Yes, I realize that they cannot connect to the interwebs but I use the Wifi AP to stream Plex from one device to another and it's a pain to reconnect and start the stream over. My kids also use it to play games together on their iPads.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.

My understanding is that if the data connection is lost, then hotspot turns off by itself. I'm not sure if I've ever seen any way to change this.
One thing you could do is use tasker or automate it to setup rules to turn it back on when your phone call has ended.

I'll give that a try. I don't recall it being that way prior to LP or on my S4. Oh well, thanks for the suggestion!

however.. is there a way that i can make a network with my phone? so i dont need a router present? i have a wifi adapter for my xbox and would like to be able to stream to it wherever i am.
Yes but not advised. The hit soot feature can be used to network ute xbox and laptop together but verizon will be sure to charge you for all that bandwidth ill be using while on hot spot

I think my question is misunderstood. What I'm trying to do is watch video from my phone to my xbox. The app I'm using uses wifi over my local network (not internet).. However I would like to be able to do this without the use of a router. Somehow letting my phones wifi and my xbox wifi network together.. I tried wifi teather which puts the xbox on a network (plus unneeded internet) however it does not put my phone on the same network.. I need to find a way to make some kind of virtual network they can both connect to. That way my phone can stream direct to xbox.. I'm not sure if there is an app for that. But I'm still searching, hoping someone has a way

I am having a problem where any time I turn my wife on, my mobile data turns off (no 4G or 3g icon, also network signal info app shows no data). Is this a designed feature or is it a bug? Running stock Rogers firmware I747MVLLE8.

Well that's your problem bud. You're turning your wife on, not the wifi But on a serious note, this is an intended feature of android. When you turn on wifi it turns off mobile data to save your mobile data. If you dont mind me asking, why do you want your 4G to stay put if you are on wifi?

Avoid showering. Your wife won't get turned on as often. Problem solved.
Sorry. Couldn't resist the auto-correct fail... If you're on wifi, your 4g/3g automatically shuts off. That's normal.

thats how it is on all android phones i blve at least all the ones ive had it wont send or rec pic msgs over wifi so it goes to the network then back to wifi
Alright thanks guys. Is there any way to turn this feature off? I want to keep mobile data on because I have really bad service at my house and I am trying to analyse it a bit.
You can just turn wifi off. You can't be connected to 2 data sources at the same time (that isn't an android thing). If wifi is off, you'll connect using 3g/4g instead.

To have a 3g data connection and a wifi connection working simultaneously yet independently of each other?
I want to purchase an air stash wireless media server so I can carry more of my music around with me.
The problem is when this thing is linked to my phone I won't have a 3g connection(because it connects as a wifi network)
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Why do you specifically need 3G when there's wifi around?
There is a way. If I get off work early enough I will see if I can get it changed. Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
Well the airstash has a wifi transmitter to connect to the phone to transfer and stream files, so if I'm not around wifi but want to use that I have to sacrifice a data connection because 3g turns off when connected to wifi
Edit:
Wow thanks, that is incredibly generous.
I don't want to take up a ton of your time so if it isn't too complex I could probably do it if pointed in the right direction.

Why not just use Google music? I think it holds like 20,000 songs, its free, and works on any data connection
I've used Google music, I dedicated it to standout tracks but it has reached its end a while back and my phone is already refined to the point I don't want to move anything off it. I've been using box and dropbox, but my box account if full now too and dropbox is reaching that point in the next few weeks, so I figure the airstash and a 256gb sdxc card should last me a bit longer.
I know there seems like no reason to carry so much music around but once it leaves my phone and goes on my desktop hard drive it'll never be listened to again, essentially a music graveyard, so I try my best to delay the inevitable.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
I know there has to be a way, and I think I've seen it before..
The phone is fully capable of running both Wifi and 3G/4G network at the same time, because when you're on WiFi and you send/receive a MMS, then it does upload/download via data.
I'll look into it for you.
Sweet, I've been searching all over the place trying to find out how but can't seem to find anything

It would work, but it would sure take you a while to get that working properly..
I would think that you could somehow tweak a file to allow them both since, as I said before, you can be on WiFi and download an MMS, which can go over 4G.
There's gotta be a way to trick android that it's downloading an MMS but it's really connecting you to 4G.
However, I have no idea how to do that, I'm not a developer.
I feel you would need some way of telling each individual application what connection to use in order for this to work right.

I think your right.
But the downside to that is when you actually go to really use a WiFi network, the app will continue to run on Data.
Hmmm, well if a governor or a toggle were implemented, to determine what apps use what connection under what circumstances, I'm thinking it might be a good route to take

That's actually a good idea.
But, I'm not a developer, and I don't think you are either. So it would take some time to get this working.
Since you're considering a toggle now, maybe try posting in the general Android Q&A section also? They might be able to help you.
Sorry.

Doesn't putting the phone in hotspot mode access Data and repeat it over Wifi? So isn't the answer to simply put the phone in hotspot mode? I know the phone can still access the data while in hotspot mode, so external devices should also be able to talk to the android device as well; over the wifi correct? Unless there is a build in firewall w/port blocking... but I would put my bets on file sharing ports being open.
Yep its possible very possible

It should be the same as with the previous data plan. Im sure the workarounds still work. Try this app, I've been using it without issues: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...S5nb29nbGVjb2RlLmFuZHJvaWQud2lmaS50ZXRoZXIiXQ..

this would defeat my doubt about https (secure sites) but why do you say avoid plain http? T-mobile being able to detect if you are tethering where secure sites would be protected and no one can tell what you are doing?

Okay to answer all your questions.
1. It can access all sites.
2. Yes tmo apparently detect unpaid tethering via the pc useragent on http sites but since they pry into https as it is a secure protocol, they can't detect those but I just used all the various protocols without any issues.
3. Yes it works via the wifi tether app from the play store, it does work via the default tether app on some devices but the newer devices they set it to check your data plan for hotspot, but the wifi tether app gets around that and works fine and no I didn't modify anything, I'm on the stock apn, etc.
Yes I do have the true unlimited plan as well.

Actually everyone is doing crazy downloading, the thing about the wifi tether third party app is that it shows your device as being the user of the data and not it being tethered the way the on board hot spot option would, that's why I opt for the third party app than just a fix, that way they can't block your tethering since it's your device showing up on the network and not a pc, imo.

So today i set up the fix for tethering that hasoons posted but i did not use it. just set it up only. then right now that I am home from work I am tethering with to my laptop but using the mobile hotspot that comes with the phone. I have the nrg rom stock. I thought that if I used that stock tethering app it wouldnt work? this is weird...
I am curious to know why I can get 40mbps down and 20mbps up on my Note 2 but when I tether I only get about 5mbps down & 3mbps up on my desktop or laptop...? I know there would be a loss of SOME bandwidth but it seems like they are throttling tethering usage? I live right next to the tower so I guess I am lucky as far as that goes but I have used several apps and I just can't get the speed I would like... Any thoughts? TIA
How are you tethering? Bluetooth, USB, Wifi? I've only ever used bluetooth and wifi, and bluetooth was about 10 times slower than wifi on my Nexus.

Same here. I get about 10 to 11 down on average on my phone and get similar results when tethered to my laptop.
I'm using the stock mobile hotspot, though I doubt FoxFi would be any different. I just made a widget through Tasker and it bypasses the entitlement check. So I bet you could download any number of power control widgets that included a tether control and it would do the same thing.
