Just wondering I have the above phone, and ever since I bought it, I cant seem to configure my personal hotspot SSID and passcode, without it defaulting back to AndroidAP and default passcode I enter in my desired SSID and passode, click save, and if I go to conect on laptop it will come up ok, but only that one time. If I literally go straight back into the configuration of wifi hotspot, it has defaulted back to AndroidAP

Have set up Portable Wi-Fi hotspot on my 4S 4.2.2. Everything seems OK and laptop identifies AP and connects to it
but there is no internet connection to the phone. Data 3G works perfectly - regular internet works perfectly - Orange UK.

When I turn on my portable wifi hotspot in my LG Optimus 4x HD, and connect my other android phone on it, it connects but it cannot browse. But when I turn on the hotspot app of my other android phone (with the same sim card i used in my 4X) and connect my Optimus 4x, it connects and can browse the net. Ive tried some tethering apps but the same result.

After reading a great post in the forum I setup my HTC Inspire 4G phone to teather...it works great! I followed the same steps on my fiancee's Inspire 4G and it didn't work so well. When I click the Portable Wi-Fi hotspot box in Settings > Wireless & Networks it turns on the Wi-Fi...and it is detectable by other devices...but then it immediately and automatically turns off.
We have the same phone purchased on the same day and I used the same Access Point Name settings as detailed in the excellent Android Forum thread. I even deleted and re-created the Access Point to make sure I didn't mistype anything but the same Portable Wi-Fi turns on then immediately turns off problem exists.

When this feature comes out in the update, will it be free to use and will it use up any of my internet allowance when on o2?

I am thinking of using Llama to switch on and off automatically the WiFi Hotspot function on my Mototola Razr XT910.
I have watched some tutorials but cannot understand, or maybe I have watched the wrong ones. I have tried to do it but I cant find how...

I've had a Galaxy Tab for 2 years, and used it, very successfully, as a wifi hotspot from May until July this year, when my laptop was suddenly not able to connect to the internet via the hotspot. It connected just fine to the Tab, and has no problems on my home wifi. The Tab was still able to connect to the internet normally, with no apparent problems.
I fiddled about a bit and thought perhaps it was a hardware problem, so bought a seconhand Nexus S. That has been working fine until yesterday, when the exact same thing has happened - the laptop can connect fine to the Nexus, but says there is no internet connection. The Nexus itself is connecting just fine.
I'm in the UK - my carrier is Three (Hutchinson).

I have a Samsung S3 with VirginMobile. I know in the past several years ago, you have to root the phone in order to make your phone into a WiFi Hotspot.
I just wondering if this is still true? Can I make my phone into a WiFi Hotspot without rooting the phone? If so, how can I do it?
The reason I ask, I am planning to get an Android tablet. I am going to end up getting a off brand Android tablet.

So I decided to actually try out Barnacle today, as I've had it installed for a couple days now. Set my options, started it, and connected with an older Acer laptop that a co-worker had at the office. Here are the speeds I got from the local San Diego, CA speedtest.net server...
5.13Mb down
1.37Mb up
Wow...that's phenominal for a mobile device!

I couldn't find any info about how exactly Galaxo configuration affects the performance changing Eco / Mix / Perf mode. What exactly it does? I would also like to know the same thing for the SetCPU app. There is a profile for Samsung Galaxy called MSM7k Turbo. What changes and tweaks does it make / do to the phone? Does those two settings can somehow confront each other meaning how it affects the phone performance / behavior if, for example, I have Galaxo Configuration set to Eco and in the same time I selected Galaxy Turbo profile in SetCPU?

I was excited to use the new phone specifically for the wifi hotspot. I could not believe when it did not work right away that I needed to tack an extra 30 a month in order for sprint to activate the thing.
So I am wondering if there is a better way to use the phone as a wifi hotspot without haveing to eat the service charge. I seen something about a way that involved root access which I could probably do but I was hoping there was a better way or maybe going to be a better way with android 2.2?

Attempting to change my MAC address I deleted 4 files whose name where WIFI.... something. Right after that My wifi went down and the phone is no longer WIFI capable. I know that I was surfing ROOT file system but instead of copying I clicked delete.
My phone is a chinese model running 4.2.2. What i did was using Xroot file searched for WIFI and selected those files to delete. SO my guess is that I deleted not only my MAC address but also other configuration files.

Will it be possible to tether the epic 4g to a laptop (perhaps through USB) instead of using the wifi hot spot capability? The wifi router/hot spot option is an additional $30 a month and I don't anticipate I will need the option often enough to justify the cost. Is there an option to tether epic4g without the wifi hot spot option?

it is possible to send 3g from your android phone to your PC, without others can see it? I dont want it to be broadcast in the public, and i cant do a direct connection with a datacord. So is there a way to share your 3g connection with your computer, without public broadcast and datacord/wires?

What I'd like to be able to do is:
if I'm connected to a specific wifi AP (my prepaid hotspot),
1) turn off autoupdates from the Google Play app
2) turn off data for all apps except the foreground app
3) or let me decided which apps I want to allow to transfer data when connecting via that hotspot
This is to minimize costs associated with using that prepaid hotspot, but the same concept could apply for people who have limited data bandwidth per month.I'm using Android 4.1 on a Samsung S3 if it matters.

I"ve heard that you can root the Droid 2 to enable to use it as a WiFi hot spot. What steps I have to take in order to do this? I'm somewhat computer savvy, have written software in Visual Basic, C++ and a few other languages.

What are the pros and cons of using my droid Ultra as a wifi hotspot compared to paying extra for a Jetpack. We don't use it much, usually only when we travel. And then it is just my wife and my laptops just checking emails and surfing the web when bored...

I was wondering if there was an app that when i turn my phone into a hotspot, the user had to visit a page before they can access the internet and they must do something on this page to have access.
Is there an app?

I'm getting a galaxy s3 very soon and I'm thinking about getting a nexus 7 with it.But as you know,nexus 7 doesn't have 3G so my only option to access network on it when there's no wifi network available is to use my future s3 as a wifi hotspot.So my questions are:
1-Is data consumption when using the phone as a wifi hotspot the same as if I'm normally using 3G on the phone itself ?
2-How long can an android(specifically the S3 if it matters much) act as a wifi hotspot before the battery runs out ?

I want to use my phone as a wifi hotspot, but I would like my phone to allow access to only some ip adresses (my mail server actually).
This way if my PC try to go to another site (say "windows update" site) the phone will not forward its http request, thus limiting data consumption.
Is there an app on the market that does it ?

I purchased Kyocera Rise during blackfriday sale (switching from LG Optimus V to Kyocera Rise).

I was be able to use my LG Optimus V (rooted and IHO rom) as a wifi hotspot this way but it isn't working for my Rise.

I don't see any "Tethering & portable hotspot" under "wireless & networks" settings as instructed in the Froyo manual. So Verizon has it blocked? Still have to root to do it, I suppose?

Is there a way how I can tell the Preference Activity that value should be saved as integer? So far my all values are saved as strings... I can limit input to integers via XML easy:
<EditTextPreference android:key="SomeKey" android:numeric="integer" />
but it is still saved as string and later trying to getInt("SomeKey") on preferences object I always get java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String.
Is there a way that EditTextPreference value would be saved not as string? Or maybe I should use some other type of Preference for numeric input?

i've been using the hotspot feature to deliver my carrier internet connection to my other devices at times when i'm not at home with the normal internet (often) sometimes i wish some of devices to not be able to temporarily connect, so i move them into the blacklist for a while; and while the feature to whitelist, blacklist and set user connection limit is cool, it has one major problem with it- there's only mac address labeling
it is not a problem if you fiddle with one device, but once you get more than 2 in the whitelist it's really impossible to remember all the mac addresses of all the devices... is there a way to label these devices?
or is there some app that could replace this native whitelist functionality but introduce labels? i am running 4.0.3 atm
