Hello,
I have an Xperia-Sola with root access and KitKat installed.
I'd like to extend my wifi network (from router) by using Xperia Sola as a wifi bridge device.
To do this I would need to enable both wifi (to catch my router connection) and hotspot (that's wifi-tethering, to 'bridge' the router connection).
So,
Is it possible to enable Wifi and Hotspot at the same time?
Thanks in advance

The 2.3.3 update provides the following that are fully functional:
USB Tethering - allows you to attach a single device via USB to allow it to access the Internet through your X10's WiFi or 3G data connection
Portable WiFi Hotspot - allows other WiFi-enabled devices to attach to your X10 via WiFi to allow them to access the Internet through your X10's 3G data connection
Go to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Tethering & Portable Hotspot to get to and set up those features.
For USB tethering, you'll need either a WiFi or 3G data connection available. For the portable WiFi hotspot, you need a 3G data connection available and the WiFi hardware must be on as well (since your X10 will become a WiFi router).
They work quite well, and they easily replace what we used to need 3rd-party apps for in the past.

Is there a way to activate Reverse USB tethering and WiFi hotspot at the same time?
I want to give internet from my PC to phone, via usb internet. Then give internet to my friends via Android Wi-Fi hotspot
Thanks

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)

How to enable wifi (receiving) and wifi tethering (emiting) silmutaneously on android phone?
Hi everybody.
Newbee here.
I've searched everywhere on google but nothing:
Please don't ask the reason I want it for.
Telling question as clearly as I can:
How to:
1. turn on wifi receiving on my android phone
and
2. turn on tethering (by wifi) emiting
on my android smartphone.
Most android phones cannot do that. Why?
ZTE Mimosa V-857 can.
Archos Titanium can't.
How to make this?
Meaning, having silmutaneously
1. Wifi receiving by android smartphone (e.g. by a wifi hotspot)
and
2. Tethering (wifingly) emiting by android smartphone (eg. to a laptop)
without shutting down of one (1. or 2.) after turning on the other (2. or 1.)
Thanks a lot.

Because the wifi tether needs cellular data to transmit and almost every phone disconnects wifi to use data and vice versa. You can use PDANet to pass through your wifi connection to a PC, but that's about it.

Thanks a lot for your reply.
Downloaded PDANetplus
(no PDANet found on google play)
on smartphone.
but while all (in laptop) seem to be comected with "FoxFi.." network (created by tethering from smartphone)
no pages are dowloaded.
Shall I have to make smthing else on my laptop?
Thanks
Seems to have to make something extra on my 64-bit win7 laptop( "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET" error message on downloading pages). Correct?
PDANetplus requires Wifi (receiving) enable firstly,
after that connects to home wifi (while turning off Wifi receiving icon from smartphone)
and turns on tethering (wifi mode chosen) in a new "FoxFi.." SSID.
"FoxFi.." is emitting , so that laptop can get into it,
and all seem ok
but no pages downloaded on laptop!!!
To be honest I want to make this procedure with an android 2.3 home (DECT) smartphone [Sagemcom Alium].
DECT signal (1800-1900 MHz) can reach longer distances than WiFi signal (2400MHz)
so that I can receive (by DECT) signal the WiFi from another house (30m away) where no wifi repeater can reach reliably!
My question is
if I can make coexist WiFi (receiving) and Tethering (emitting) on this "smartphone" [Sagemcom Alium].
Why other smartphones (e.g. ZTE Mimosa V-857 android 2.3) can make coexistance (wifi and tethering [wifinly]) without any PDANet
and most of smartphones can't?
Is there a safety issue behind?
Thanks again.
Sorry for the many words!
