I have the Sprint Nexus S 4G, and the only time the hotspot will not share my internet connection is when I have 4G enabled. I thought maybe this was the case for you also.

I have an Ns4G also, does that to me also. Couple times I had to reboot phone cause after I would try to switch back to 3G and use the hotspot and it wouldn't connect. Don't know if it works when paying for hotspot from Sprint though.

I didn't see this in the forums before but I was wondering if it is possible to tether a wifi hotspot on the nexus through it's wifi. I ask this because I travel 3 weeks at a time with my company and can't use Netflix, live, etc on my xbox. They have wifi and ethernet there but both have the stupid welcome page and you have to agree to terms to use the internet.the xbox doesn't have a browser that allows me to accept the webpage and I'm in North Dakota with work and I'm in constant roaming the entire time so no 3g natively of my phone to tether. So that brings me back to my question is there anyway to use the wifi they have open a browser window on my phone accept the welcome and then tether to my console?
I wonder if you can accept the TOS, jot down the IP address then quickly disconnect and force your Xbox to the same IP address given in advanced networking? Also you can tether with a laptop for sure, not sure with the phone.

Guarantee you could use your phones browser connected to the wifi to accept the terms of service. I've done it several times with things like that.

You can't use Wi-Fi and tether at same time, the chip can't do both at same time

If your wifi is connected you can tether it to a computer through usb tether. I know that for sure cause I do it all the time.

[Q] Is there a way I can share my phone "wifi connection" with my PC? right now I'm using someone else wifi connection on my phone because my phone is currently off so I can't share my 4g connection with my PC is there a way I can share someone else wifi connection on my phone with my PC because by default it only allows me to use data connection to share with pc is there a app I can download to do this?

Okay guys, I have a new one for you.
I live on campus with no possibility to have my own network because the school won't allow us to have anything else than their network..
This is one major problem because my PS3 won't connect to that network, is there any way I can use my phone (i9505, rooted) or anything else to make a "fake" network out of the eduroam-network to connect my PS3 to? Any help is appreciated

If your actually looking for help you can start by giving some info for your phone. More than " its a motorola". List phone model, what software, if its rooted or not, are you running a custom rom, if your are what rom. These details are very important without them you will never get an answer.

my phone can make a ad hoc network just fine it only has problems making a wifi hotspot. it does not matter what teathing program you use. what does it matter what phone it is? but its a motorola electrify(rooted but it did the same thing stock). my firend has the same phone it does the same thing it makes a hotspot you connect it works for a few min then disconnects the phone says no 3g then after a few sec it reconnects. if you teather using ad hoc it works fine. i have connected the phone to a nook, ipad, ipod toch, and other android tablets always the same thing the only thing that works is ad hoc. so if i can not make the note connect to an ad hoc network i can not teather
Not sure what to call this in the subject line but there are certain site this happens to, not going to name them for privacy issues but let's just say there not illegal or perverted sites by any means. Anywho I go to these sites and no matter what the browser or what the user agent after time the device blocks them from me gaining access. The only fix I've found is a complete wipe and factory reset. I've tried just about everything else I can think of... Wiped cache, dalvik, tried different browsers... I'm running stock 4.1.2 rooted. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Are you installing any kind of firewall program? Droidwall for example. Maybe automatically from the account tied to your device?

Nope, but thanks for the reply.
You say after time does that mean you connect ok then some time later you lose access .
Is that via WiFi or Mobile Data .

I have that problem when connecting via wifi tether on my phone. I contacted my service provider and they say as my contract doesn't cover me for tethering it will be because I am trying to visit full Web pages instead mobile Web pages and so they limit my usage.
That makes sense in regard to the OP . Connect then connection closed .

Try installing Foxfi :
Create a WiFi Tether using Foxfi on your GN10
Connect a phone / a computer to your GN10 WiFi hotspot
Check connection, you should be properly connected to the Internet
Uninstall Foxfi
Now you should be connected for good

Sorry,I didn't notice.that your GN10 is a wifi version.
I tell you this method because I used to have similar problem but my GN10 is 3G+wifi version.
And I use my GN10 as a Hotspot.
After flashing ARHD 5.1 and up version the wifi tethering messed up.
I can connect to the GN10 wifi tethering but it wouldn't allow me to connect to most website...except google sites (google,youtube,etc..)
The method I told you fix the problem.
So, may be you can try installing foxfi on the phone that you use as a hotspot.
I know I'm jumping the gun here. Because neither the download booster or the hotspot mod have been made for the galaxy S5 yet.
But I was wondering if this possibility is far fetched?? I do a lot of traveling and sometimes hotel wifi will not cut it.

I am far from an expert but I don't think the wifi could operate in AP mode and stil connect to another AP for extra d/l speed.

The reason I thought this would be possible was because of the MiMo(multi-input multi-output) capabilities of the S5. I know there are things that would pose an issue like not being able to be connected to WiFi while creating a hotspot.
But that's what the muti input side is for, taking in WiFi and LTE. It almost makes since to be able to send that combination speed out as hotspot.

It would be more like one ap with two aggregated backbone connections. Possible, yes. Doable on the phone, don't know but if the S5 still turns off wifi when you turn on hotshot that would be the trick.

So MiMo would theoretically allow the wifi chip to setup an AP and also be connected to seperate AP, and 3g/4g, to aggregate data? That would be awesome. I have tried bridging two wifi networks with one wifi card on desktops but have never been able to get more than one connection per wifi chip. Where AP mode would be its own connection.
:fingers crossed: maybe we can...

In theory I believe it should work. I could swear, I am 99% sure of this, that way back in the day you could wifi tether to your phone while it was connected to wifi. Might have been the S1 or S2. I am positive that worked because I remember testing the hotspot once and getting some crazy download speeds. This was when I only had 3G and could barely get 300k. And I was freaking out trying to figure out how it was going so fast. Then I realized the phone was connected to wifi:silly: So MiMo isn't needed for one singular stream. It's basically just doing incoming and outgoing traffic on the same feed. But adding in the LTE should work on MiMo. If LTE had it's own card, does it?, you shouldn't need MiMo either. You would just have to first get the aggregation working which I think somebody got it enabled right? And then disable the wifi from shutting off during hotspot. After that it would work without anything special.
Just wanted to give this thread a bump.
Has anyone heard anything about this idea working?
