I just bought a Dash Cam that connects to my phone over WiFi . Can I use my Mobile Hotspot feature to share my data with a S7 while I am connected to the Dash Cam? If not can the S7 connect to two networks?
The Dash Cam does not have the capability to connect to a different network.
Yes, you can connect your S9 to the Dash-Cam and the S7 to the S9, but your S9 will disble the Mobile Data and you won't have a connection to the internet. To avoid this, enable "Keep Mobile Data on" in the Developer options.

Will that also work with wifi direct? It turns out that is how my dash cam connects on Android
I really don't know if this also works with WiFi-Direct. You can connect to a WiFi and with WiFi-Direct at the same time, but I'm not sure if you can Create a hotspot and WiFi-Direct.
If you want, you can connect the S7 to the S9 and to the Dashcam via WiFi-Direct at the same time.

Thank you for the info I will try to figure out how to do it. I may be trying to to something easy the hard way. Here is my situation
I have a Toyota Rav-4 with the basic sound. It lets a device connect as Phone or Audio. In order to steam audio to the radio and have GPS go into my ear I have to run the GPS on my S9+ and tether over WiFi a S7 with no service to the S9+ The S7 is connected to the car radio over Bluetooth as the Audio Device.
My new camera a a Nexar uses WiFI Direct to connect to the android phone
Even with the option for turned on in Developer Options the S9+ is popping up a screen that says
Turn off Mobile Hotspot?
Wi-Fi is turned off when Mobile Hotspot is active. To turn on Wi-Fi, turn off Mobile Hotspot
To enable the Repeater-Mode at the S9 you have to go to the Mobile-Hotspot settings and enable the second option (the option under the Password of the Hotspot)

I did that (see attachments) and it is still giving me the same message.
Oh, WiFi-Direct with the Hotspot is not working, I thought normal WiFi with hotspot is not working.
You can try to connect the phones with an usb cable and the otg adapter from the s9. Then enable USB-Thetering at the S9 and it you can connect it via WiFi-Direct to the Dash-Cam.
If I do that won't I lose the ability to charge the phones?
It would be so much easier of Waze had an option tho output directions to my Bluetooth earpiece
To charge the phone you would need a adapter or a wireless charger.

Do you have a new iPad without a cellular connection as well as your S3? You already know you can make the S3 into a personal wi-fi hotspot but that can use lots of juice and you want the S3 to last the full day, did you know that you can connect the two using a BT PAN profile on the S3? No, here’s how…
First setup your S3:
Assign a BT name – Settings -> Bluetooth -> (menu) Device name
Enable BT – Settings -> Bluetooth = 1
Note: I needed to reboot the S3 at this point to make the new device name effective but YMMV
Enable BT PAN (tethering) – Settings -> More Settings -> Tethering and portable hotspot. Check “Bluetooth tethering”
Set S3 to BT discoverable – Settings -> Bluetooth. Check “[S3 BT name] Only visible to paired devices”
Pair iPad and S3:
On iPad: Settings -> General -> Bluetooth. Bluetooth = On
On iPad: Choose [S3 BT name] and pair devices
Note: You can initiate the pairing from either device but if you do it from the iPad end you don’t need to enter a PIN
That’s it – you should see a “chain-link” icon in the upper left of your iPad (same place you would see a wi-fi indicator) and you’re good to surf, visit the “App Store” or “iTunes”.
Why to use BT?
Use WiFi Hotspot instead and its much faster.
BT is really slow for HSDPA+ connections.
I use my iPad and I connect it to the mobile network using S3 as a WiFi Hotspot. It's working really great.
In a word or two - battery life - BT is significantly lower power consumption than running a wi-fi hotspot. Yes it's bandwidth is limited but it's higher than I see on an HSPA+ connection here in the East Midlands, UK.
i tried this but my GS3 pops up a screen notifying me to call my provider to activate this service….
Thank you very much!
:good:

The funny thing is, I don't have an option to tether via BT on my S3 in that settings menu. Only wi-fi or USB.
Hello, Bluetooth pairing is not possible between iPad and android. Seems that this feature was removed recently
does this still work? I get a message on my s3, then data connection is lost. Is there a workaround?
Just a easy solution
You can easily make a wifi hotspot on your samsung galaxy S3 and share the wifi with your ipad
Is there a way to make the hotspot turn it self on when I connect my Bluetooth?
I have a car stereo that I have wifi on, and I use my phone as a hotspot for it. Now I'm wondering if there is a way for the hotspot to turn it self on when I get it my car? The stereo automatically connects to my phone through Bluetooth as a hands free, so can't that be something to use to turn on the hotspot?
Any clues?
I'm curious about being able to force my phone to use it's LTE data connection rather than a wifi network that it's connected to.
Here's why:
In my car, I have a head unit with a chromecast input through the hdmi port in the back. I put the chromecast there specifically to cast my phone's screen onto the head unit. Chromecast's screencasting works PERFECTLY for this purpose and I'm super happy with the performance
The problem comes in when I get to the fact that the chromecast can't cast my screen without an active internet connection. The dongle needs to download the casting app each time it starts, apparently.
My plan is to purchase a freedompop hotspot and go for the free 500mb a month plan, as the casting software for the chromecast is very small. The LTE connection on my phone is not an option because i'm not able to root, as well as whatever complications would arise from being the device broadcasting a network that it has to connect to.
What I'm trying to avoid is allowing my phone to consume data over the wifi network that it will have to connect to on order to cast its screen to the chromecast and my head unit.
I'm open to other creative solutions if you have any ideas. Miracast was an option, but after attempting to use a roku stick for that purpose, i've found that miracast and the Alpha aren't really good friends yet. If anybody knows of a miracast dongle that works well with the alpha, please share!
Was trying to figure out why I dont have the option to bluetooth tether to my car radio. Is this a Tmobile version of the phone thing?
Is there a way around it? Is it because its tmobile locked? or? any help would be appreciated, hopefully I am not f'd and have to deal with it
There is no problem tethering bluetooth with a PC...must be your radio capability.
Well I just don't even have the option on my phone. Settings > Network and Internet > Tethering.
Only 3 options I have is mobile hotspot and usb tethering and Help.
I go through the same menus on a friends g8x and they have Bluetooth tether option.
Wondering why I Dont?
I have the T-Mobile variant and confirm that bluetooth tethering is not available. It looks like TMobile removed it from most of their LG products. The LG G8X from my understanding is not officially carried by TMobile.
Good news though, you might have some luck with 3rd party apps like PDAnet or some other apps on play store for bluetooth tethering. I'll see if I can test it for you.
So the V60 won't connect to a vehicle? I haven't tried it, but I'm surprised I haven't heard more people complaining about that

I had absolutely no issue connecting mine to my car's infotainment system just pairing through the bluetooth settings. I normally use Android Auto, though, as my car's infotainment system has a well known delay through bluetooth (gen 3 Mazda3). Bluetooth tethering, though, should be for sharing the phone's internet connection. I also only see USB or wifi for tethering on my phone.
Hi all,
is there a way to share the official keyboard between the tab s7+ and the s21 (using the wireless keyobard sharing feature) without being connected to a wifi network.
I was wondering because something i have to work on differents locations where i am not connected to wifi, but only on 5G.
Or maybe is there a way of doing this by using Bluetooth ?
I tried this but i get an error message.
Is there a way to be connected on bluetooth without sharing internet thru bluetooth? (as my tab and my phone have 5g sim's)
thanks all

By sharing, do you mean connecting a keyboard to both your Tab S7+ and S21?
You can via Bluetooth, but you can only connect to them one at a time. You can't connect a wireless keyboard to your tablet and phone simultaneously.
Wireless keyboards and mice all use BT. I have never seen any that use WiFi to connect to devices. At least not 802.11. There are plenty that use 2.4GHz, but they come with an USB wireless adapter.
Hi sorry i was not very precise. (i am going to edit my post)
I was talking about sharing the official keyboard of the tab s7 using the Wireless Keyboard Sharing feature that allow the keyboard to switch beetwen both devices.
This works very well but only when both devices are connected to the same wifi network.
this feature is presented here :
Galaxy Tab S7 & S7+ Users Can Enjoy More Streamlined Galaxy Ecosystem Experiences with One UI 3 Update
Samsung’s latest tablet devices, Galaxy Tab S7 and Tab S7+, are packed with a versatile range of productivity and connectivity features to help users connect
news.samsung.com
The official keyboard is not 'auto powered" so it cannont work as a standalone keyboard for the s21
Ah. Thanks for clarifying. This is news to me. I didn't know this was a thing. I use Microsoft Launcher on both my Tab S7 and Note 10+, so I'm not sure if will work.
I found this on Reddit. How to do it is on the comments.
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyTab/comments/o0y3cz
"
You can enable this feature under Settings -> General Management -> Physical Keyboard -> Wireless Keyboard Sharing. This makes your Tab show up as a generic bluetooth keyboard/trackpad when other devices search for it. Then, on the other PC you can connect to the Tab S7 via bluetooth and that made it work for me.
(You need to have the book cover keyboard connected to your Tab during all this)"
Update. It uses BT. I just tried it and it worked with my Note 10+. Evidently, it'll work with any BT enabled device. I'm going to try it with my Surface Pro 6 tomorrow. I'll let you know whether or not it worked.
@DJCarlos It uses BT. I successfully connected my Tab S7 to my Microsoft Surface Pro 6. I am typing this on my Tab S7, but in my Edge browser on my Surface Pro 6. I am still not completely sold on its practicality though.
Edit: It does not need to be connected to WiFi for this to work. I connected my Note 10+ to my S7 via BT and typing this on my phone using my S7's keyboard. Neither my phone, nor my Tab S7 are connected to WiFi, nor is my phone's Hotspot is enabled.
