I have a WIFI Xoom with a huawei 3G USB Modem which I have setup to work with my Xoom [ICS-CM9], but I noticed that only some apps can use the internet when connected thru it.
Example, Dolphin browser can browse the internet fine but none of the google apps can (Market, Gmail etc) + my tablet says "No internet connection" probably because i have disabled WIFI. But it seems I am missing something here.
Can anyone guide me on how does Android connection manager detect whether internet is available/not available?
TIA

i connected my blackberry bold 9780 to my laptop and i use it as a modem. i then used virtual router to share the 3G connection to my motorola xoom wifi. i can go online using google chrome just fine but all the other other apps, whether default or downloaded, refuse to connect online. im wondering if it's an adapter setting that i need to adjust or something. p,lease help. i am very frustrated at not bein able to use internet depending apps. it breaks my heart.

I don't understand...you are basically using your Blackberry/laptop configuration to make a mobile hotspot, right? If the Xoom can access the wifi signal for one app it should be able to for any app. Maybe I'm missing something. Can you give more explanation?

I connected my blackberry bold which has 3g to my laptop which broadcasts the connection via wifi. The chrome browser and android market and other goodies apps connect but installed apps don't connect. Plus I recently bought a huawei e5 mobile 3g wireless router. I got my xoom connected to the network but right now only the browser goes online,. The other apps just do not. I don't know what other piece of detail I can give other than the fact that my Xoom wifi is not connecting to 3g networks broadcast via wifi. Any ideas?
This is really very strange... I switched my 3G-Xoom into flight mode and then activated WiFi (so it basically behaves like a WiFi-only Version) and connected it to my mobile (Samsung Galaxy S) and all apps are able to access the internet. Connecting ist to a UMTS-Router (Option GlobeSurf) also worked like a charm...
Did you try to connect your Xoom to a WiFi-Router at home (= Internet access via cable not UMTS)? Does this work or do you encounter the same probs?
Hi,
I have minecraft pe on my tablet. Usually, I need to play multi player with other people in places without wifi. On honeycomb, I solved this using the tethering setting. However, on ics this setting does not work. I have downloaded lots of wifi tethering applications ( like FoxFi) but they all required an active internet connection. My question if there is a tethering app that does not require an active internet question in order to be used.
(Btw, I'm on AOKP milestone 5)
Bluetooth or WIFI direct works pretty well to setup a LAN connection. Or search for a LAN app in the market.
I've tried searching around, but haven't been able to find any info on my current issue which is that haven't been able to bluetooth tether my TF101 to my phone properly.
Phone: Galaxy Nexus CM10.1 nightly
-Bluetooth tethering enabled and confirms "Sharing this phone's Internet connection to 1 device"
-Also tried a stock Galaxy Note; same result.
Tablet: Transformer TF101 CM10 nightly (20121105)
-Use for internet access checked.
-Devices paired and connected successfully but it says "No Internet Connection"
I was able to connect using Fox-fi and PDAnet combo, which works for Chrome, but not Facebook or Gmail and more. Notification drawer still says "No Internet Connection"
Anyone have any insight for me? Something obvious I missed somewhere?
Thanks in advance.
Fir tethering with bluetooth i use BlueVPN app, FB and GMAIL work, but i can't download app in market store.
Other big problem is that often the connection block and i have to restart app in my tablet.
Anyone have any luck tethering a Droid razr maxx hd?
I have searched the forums for a solution to this problem with no success. I am running Katkiss 4.3.1 on a TF101 and have successfully used PPP widget to connect to the internet via a Huwei K3770 USB sim card. However, this has stopped working since I upgraded to Katkiss 4.3.1_27. I can dial out and connect to the internet, but am unable to access information on the internet (Gmail, Chrome browser, etc) - get an error message stating that there is no internet connectivity. So it seems that dialing out and "connection" to the internet works, but I cannot actually access the internet. Any assistance with this will be most appreciated - I suspect that something has changed in the upgraded ROM that prevents PPP widget from working properly.
Hi all, a bit of a random one, but I have connected a moto G with the stock rom to a usb adapter and then to a usb ethernet adapter and then to a cat5 internet connection.
I can browse the web via chrome and other various apps can access the internet, when I tried to update android, it checked and then said that a new version is available, however when I try to install, I just get a message saying it needs a WiFi connection. I'm guessing that this is something that is written into the os to avoid downloading large updates over 3G.
I get the same message regardless of whether WiFi is enabled or not (but not connected to a WiFi hotspot).
Any ideas?

You need to be connected to a wifi network in order to download and install the updates.
But you can try this tool it provides an xposed module to make apps think that you are connected to wifi.
EDIT: You can also try this or this(This allows a per-app level setting)..
