the wireless on my laptop blew up. I know tethering uses the phone's network connection, but is there anyways I can set it up so it uses my house WIFI connection? I'm sure my wifi connection at home is faster than the phone's 3g connection.
Thanks
I think the newest Cyanogen (4.2.5) has added the functionality you want. Just go to Settings -> Wireless -> and turn on Internet Tethering

Yeah, I just did that earlier today. But does that share the phone carrier's network, or my wifi connection at home?
Thanks for the quick response.

Originally it was just to share the carrier's network via the USB connection (<-- this I use everyday), but I remember reading in the changelog that it is now enabled for wifi as well.
I just confirmed it using speedtest.net. You are right.
Thanks!!
That's awesome functionailty. It turns your phone into a wifi adapter with optional 3g.
guys ... can wifi direct be enabled in desire s running official ics. there is no option in the wireless settings. i know that desire s does not have NFC but a software called super beam uses QR code to use wifi direct.... is it possible....

dude, i found a solution.... download a software called "fast file transfer" from play store.it can send data from one device to another using wifi. it does not require any intermediate router connections. direct transfer of data. Moreover its enough that anyone device have this software.the other device should just have wifi , thats enough. but any one mobile must be having the wifi hotspot option.
Hello all,
This is my first smartwatch, I am having some troubles connecting to certain WIFI. Is there limitations on what kind of WIFI network this watch can see and connect to? My home WIFI seems to work just fine, but when I am at work, it doesnt see all the networks, and the one it does see......it wont let me connect to? Is there any way to fix this? I am guessing it might be some sort of security settings on the WIFI at my workplace?

Is your mobile connected to your work WIFI if so it sync with the watch with no need to setup

It may not have the functionality to connect to 5.0ghz, only 2.4ghz Wi-Fi. I can't test that because my home router is from my broadband provider. I tried a google search and the only thing that came up was that it can connect to wireless b/g/n. Nothing stating if it can or cannot connect to 5.0ghz.
it can only connect to 2.4 ghz networks.
5 ghz usually need a/ac standard to connect to.
Hi,
Where can i find the settings to enable the same wifi extension on miui 11?
Note: on Huawei, i was able to extend by wifi as a hotspot , basically working as a wifi repeater, but can't find the settings in miui 11.
Help needed

For wifi sharing, from mobile?
Hello everyone. I don't know if anyone is having this kind of issue, but I tried to Google for the answer and it hasn't led me anywhere near an answer. What's happening is this: I'm trying to connect my car's wifi to my phone hotspot for allow the car to go online for maps and stuff. When I connect my car to the phone it works. After just disabling the hotspot and enabling back again the car won't connect automatically to it and I need to put the password back in. With another phone i have this behaviour is not present. Also my other phone connects just fine to the Pixel 6a every time, no issues there. And my car connects to another phone's hotspot just fine reliably every time. I tried looking for MAC randomization, but that option is already disabled by default. Looking into the Android 13 settings for the hotspot I can't find any meaningful setting.
I hope anyone can at least point me into the right direction, thanks!

Do these another phones also have android 13?

No. One it's a Motorola Edge Plus 2022 (Android 12) and the other one is a Huawei P20 Lite (Android 9). Those do not have issues, both connecting to the Pixel hotspot and serving the car with their own hotspots.

So we have a potential culprit: Android 13.
A case for further investigation.

I found that there are less hotspot settings in Android 13 compared to Android 12.
Also both my Pixel 6a and the Motorola Edge Plus 2022 have wifi 6 radios and don't have any skins on top of Android that might make work or not work my car.
I was wondering if there's a MAC randomization that can't be disabled on Android 13 when creating an hotspot. That's the only thing I can think might be an issue.

You can easily check this when connected from another phone in its connection settings.
MAC randomization is not relevant when it is not supervised in any way. And it isn't, so the connection should happen. The problem may be at the packet transmission layer. There are different solutions, and perhaps the auto does not cope with new solutions. Do you have the ability to check the firmware date with the auto?

I sure can, but I don't know how fit that into the whole issue. IIRC I updated it not too long ago.

Can't find the firmware version of my car, if that could've made a difference.
Doesn't appear to be any MAC randomization while using the hotspot.
I am getting the same problem whenever i try to connect this to my car.

That shouldn't make a difference, the car should be looking for an SSID, not a BSSID.
In Hotspot settings, have you enabled "Extend compatibility?"

I did, but it didn't change anything. With the option disabled on a Motorola Edge Plus 2022 the car connected anyway and, upon restarting both the car and the hotspot on that phone it picked it up immediately. Which leads me to belive that it's equipped with a 5Ghz wifi. It's a 2021 Toyota Corolla.
I know it shoudn't make a difference, but I can't figure out for the life of me why it refuses to work with my phone. I can't deal with inputting my wifi password each time I hop in the car!
I don't see in the video that any password is needed.
Can you provide a link to the video that explains how to pair with the password?

That's bluetooth pairing. That, at least, works fine. What I'm talking about is wifi connection between the car and the smartphone. The smartphone sets up an hotspot and the car connects to it in order to acess the internet for maps data and apps.
This is the video that shows how to connect to wifi:

What does "Detailed Settings" look like?

Nothing of value for us unfortunately. Forgot to take a picture but I remember that it shows the MAC address of the car, the wireless networks known and something about automatic connection to networks and network notifications.

It's just a toggle to auto connect to known networks or not. Nothing more.
