I'm looking for an app that as soon as there is no WiFi network connection would start WiFi tethering if possible, if not Bluetooth is OK.
The scenario is the following: While at home, I keep my phone(lp 5.0.2), my watch ( full kk 4.4.2) & and my tablet (lp 5.0.2) on WiFi. As soon as I leave the house I'd like my phone to auto start tethering, preferably on WiFi because I could keep both the watch and the table with internet connection. On Bluetooth only one can have internet access.
Also the app should not require root access due to the fact that the phone has no rooting method yet.

I would like to be able to connect my phone to my galaxy 10.1 tablet (not to internet share) over wifi to enable me to use lazydroid's application to remotely view the phone screen on the tablet. I DO NOT want to share the internet to the tablet but want to maintain internet connection on the phone only.
I was thinking that this could be doable by setting up an ad hoc connection on the thunderbolt thereby allowing my tablet to connect to it but can't seem to get this to work while keeping the 3g/4g data network active. Does anyone have any help or suggestions?
Thanks!
I just bought a chromecast and I'm trying to figure out if I can get my GNexus to host the hotspot and be the chromecast remote.
In more detail:
I do not have internet from a cable/satellite company. The only internet connection I have is through my cellphone hotspot.
Chromecast will be connected to the internet through my cellphone hotspot (SSID: AndroidAP).
When my cellphone has the hotspot running it does not show up on its own network (AndroidAP).
I need the phone to show up on the network (AndroidAP) so that I can see the chromcast and use the phone as a remote.
Is this even possible?
Really? No one?
Is it possible?
I'd be very curious to know if this is possible or not. I found this thread because I'm wanting to do the very same thing. I still have unlimited data through vzw so this would be terrific if there was a way. The only thing is that the wifi turns off when the hotspot is turned on (at least on mine) so there would have to be a way to get it to connect to its own hotspot without making mobile data shut off.
Same thing needed Badly here @@
I also want to connect my moto e to it's own hotspot for remote control my tablet using my phone as mouse(specifically) and keyboard/joystick.
(I know keyboard and joystick can be possible without doing that but MOUSE can't)
Hellllllllpppppppp ......
1.5 years later and there's still no way to do this. Not only that this is the only page on the internet about it.
The de thread here
I want to use my phone WiFi network to connect my PC to it and then use the phone to remotly control keyboard and mouse on my PC over WiFi, but I just can not connect my phone to it's own WiFi network. :/
One thing I could do is using a WiFi extender to connect both devices to, but then I couln't get the devices connected to internet since they're connected to a "no-internet" WiFi extender network.
Still nothing? I need it to use my security camera which needs internet connection. I also need to be able to view it on my phone using the camera app but the devices have to be on the same network. Sux that i can't do this.
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!
This may seem like a dumb question but... is there a way or an app to essentially turn on WiFi hotspot feature so that I can make an ad-hoc LAN but NOT let all the devices connected access the internet?
Example: I enable WiFi hotspot on my phone. I still have a cellular data connection so I can browse the web, stream music, etc. but any other device that connect to my phone's hotspot does NOT get my data connection, they are just on the LAN the built in android hotspot creates.
I don't want to let other users "run up" my data usage but I want the other users when they connect to my hotspot to be all on one network.
I have a bootloader unlocked Motorola Moto X (original, 2013) and rooted and I use Tasker. Maybe after I enable the hotspot feature I could modify some IP tables via a Tasker app to "enable/disable" internet blocking.
Or maybe there's an app out there for this? I suppose another alternative would be disable mobile data and then enable hotspot (if that's even allowed) but the pitfall there is then my phone doesn't have internet either.
Thanks,
Mike
I had root, loved the ability to have the hotspot with xposed, but hated the lag and battery life.
Tried to flash a ROM and got stuck in a bootloop.
Without access to a computer I had to visit a Bestbuy Samsung Experience kiosk to restore my S7.
Unable to root my device again I was immediately upset to find out I couldn't get hotspot again.
I relied on my hotspot because I have the newer unlimited plan with AT&T and DirecTv bundle.
I use my phone as my apartments entire wifi access relying it for my Chromecast, tablets and my game systems.
I felt stuck without it and almost called an internet provider but then I remembered the phone has wifi sharing.
So the Chromecast has an open Wifi signal if it's not connected to wifi itself.
I connect to it with my phone then immediately go to Mobile Hotspot turn it on and then go to the more options and select wifi sharing off.
Which then disconnects from wifi and the only uses the hotspot there for still having the ability to have hotspot I am able to connect the Chromecast to my hotspot and the other devices as well.
The only reason I really wanted/needed root was for this feature so it might help the next or it may have been brought up already.
I am also on the Sept PI2 update.
So as long as you have an open Wifi
(with or without internet access)
you can turn on Mobile Hotspot with wifi sharing on first
then after the Hotspot is activated
you can turn wifi sharing off to keep the Hotspot on.
Again sorry if this has been posted somewhere.
This no longer work with nougat update...
Flash the G930U firmware and hotspot works "right out of the box" with no fixes or tweaks. I can confirm it works as I flashed my G930A to the "U".
