Hi.
Just got a new phone, a Samsung S5 Neo and I have a problem.
When I share my mobile connection ( wifi hotspot ) with other devices I can't use the internet on my device, no page is loading.
The devices I share the connection with have all a normal internet connection.
Never noticed this happening before. Is this normal or there is a problem with my phone or the operator?
Regards,
Paul

Hello everyone,
I'm new android user! I'm delighted whit it on x10 mini pro. But I came across a few problems:
My first problem is with WiFi. I don't have wifi router, but I made my laptop to work as a virtual router for wifi, so other computers and mobile phones are free to join my network via WiFi.
However my X10mini is having hard time detecting my wifi network, and when it does it won't connect on it! It doesn't have that problem on real routers for wifi. (My second phone, Samsung jet, can connect to my wifi network without poblem). I have tried with "WiFi Finder" but the problem is same.
I should probably mention that bluetooth has the same problem. I can detect another phone but I can't make any transfer of data between the phones!
What should I do?
P.S. I bought the phone a few days ago and the android software version is 2.1
for the problem with bluethooth try to see in the option, there is one abuot visibility, check it
... sorry for english im italian XD

Hi androidx10
Your WiFi problem could depend on the wifi network, stock firmware cannot connect to "ad hoc" networks.
Try to install apps like "wifi buddy" from the market, it can help you to scan networks and identify ad-hoc links.
For the bluetooth usually there are no problems sending files but receiveng them.
Try to install from the market apps like "bluetooth file transfer" or "astro bluetooth" to exchange files with other devices.
Good luck and enjoy your X10
hello i just bought a sony ericsson xperia x10 mini pro (u20i firmware version: 2.1-update 1) last week and I can't use it because everytime I insert my sim and then surfing the internet it gives me extra charge even if I am connected to a wireless network. and when I check the remaining balance it's 0.00 data traffic is turned off. What should I do? I want to know what are the applications that gives me extra charge. Do I have to root my phone first to delete those applications? Please help me I dont know what to do.
hi fellows
i just installed a 4g device in my laptop for internet access. It working fine. Next i made the laptop a hotspot via adhoc connection and after that though internet is fine but i am unable to connect my samsung sii via wifi with it. Even though a friends iphone connected to my lappys hotspot but my phone doesn't and neither does it show that a hotspot/ wifi connections exists.
help
Ad Hoc was designed only for local connections, not Internet.
Use Connectify to make hotspot.

You need to setup a virtual router or if your laptop has a router you can share net via that, originally custom roms does not support ad hoc, but certain roms are modified to enable it.
Using GT - I9100
I thank those who give helpful comments
I expect the same from others.
Router has wlan infrastructure mode, not adhoc. It doesn't matter if the ROM supports it or not.
Hi all,
I know the thread's title may sound ridiculous, but it's really not.
I'm looking for a way to share my mobile wifi connection (I'm currently using the latest HTC one device) via wifi.
Meaning, I'm connected to a wifi network from my Android device, and I want to share this connection with other laptop/pad/mobile devices via wifi.
So my device acts both as wifi client to a hot-spot infra, and also like a hotspot infra for other devices.
In the past, I did it successfully using my iphone and MyWi app.
I've spent quite some time goggling for a solution, but non of the threads/articles I've read really address this problem, as most of them refer to sharing the mobile data connection rather than the wifi connection.
this is the closest thread I've found (from 2010) and it refers to wifi sharing via USB and not wifi.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1276723
the reason I'm looking for such a way is that I have a iPass certificate on my mobile, which enables me to connect freely to iPass wifi hotspots around the world (popular at airports for example) and I want to use this connection with my laptop or my friends mobile devices.
can anyone shed some light on this subject?

Have you tried checking out the application Fqrouter2 for rooted devices ? doesn't work on my phones but could work on yours.
Hi,
Two months ago I installed Cyanogen ROM (Kitkat 4.4.4) on my Samsung Galaxy Ace mobile. Now I am trying to enable wifi tethering for my 3G sim using my mobile.
When I enable wifi tethering I can't get internet on more than one connected device (if there is only one device connected it can access the internet, but when another device connects to the tethering wifi network only the lastest one can access the internet while the first one can't even ping the mobile ip !!)
I tried "Foxfi" and "wifi tether for root users" application, with no hope.
Can I connect more than one device to my Samsung Galaxy Ace wifi tethering network using my current Kitkat ROM? if I reinstall the original stock ROM can that fix the problem? is this a hardware limit or a software limit?
As far as Im aware only one phone can connect to wifi hotspot on ace (cm 10.2,cm11).If second connects first one drops (in my case).For stock I honestly do not know as I've never used it while I was on it.
If you have time and are willing to flash stock,please report result as Im also very curious whether its a hardware of software limitation!
CM ROMs have wifi issues.
