Limited Connectivity on Wifi Hotspot - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Whenever I try to connect my laptop to my phone's mobile hotspot (Stock and CM10) I get a connection limited access error and despite the fact that I can see it and connect, I get zero internet. However, I can connect just fine with my Xoom and Droid X. I seem to be having this problem with all mobile hotspot apps I've downloaded including the ones built into stock and CM10, anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I too am having this issue. Bump.

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?

Mobile hotspots wifi tethering on jb roms?

Has anyone been successful in getting wifi tethering (mobile hotspots) to work on a CM10 rom? I use wifi tether for root users. And it seems to work when I connect from a laptop or PC with wifi but it just doesn't seem to wanna work when I try to connect another android device such as an sgs3. Is there some kinda setting or something I'm missing? I'm using a P6200

hi,
searched a long time for the solution of the same problem... seems it´s like a strategic plan of t he producers... if it would be easy nobody would pay the 100 euros difference to upgrade to a 3g version...
found a solution (not perfect, only for emergency cases) for me: i installed open garden wifi tethering (from market) onto my htc hd2 - miui (stable version 6 by langthang). hence in its settings: activate "use bluetooth connection (pan)". enable bluetooth on the tab.
start tethering by pushing the large wifi-symbol on handyscreen. give superuser permission; confirm the pairing. just wait some seconds; then you have to enter into the settings of the new paired bluetooth device on the tab (in my case its simply called hd2) and activate the internet-option.
Now it should work (you can see the traffic on the handy-screen)

[Q] USB Tethering without data connection

Hi,
Using Android 4.0.4 on an AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note (SGH-I717).
I'm trying to set up a simple network between a computer and the android. This is because the android will access a web page on the computer. Unfortunately I don't have the option of rooting the phone. I've been trying to get USB tethering enabled without a SIM card or wifi connection but it always bugs me with a message "Insert SIM card to access network services". I've tried a couple of apps that try to enable it for you (Tether It, Tasker), but they do not work.
I note that tethering will work if you start with WiFi connected to an access point, enable tethering, then disconnect WiFi, but that's not good enough here because I may not have anything to connect to. I need to just be able to hit a button somewhere and have it work with no data connection.
Is this generally possible (even by writing an app)?
As an alternative, I know I can do a hotspot without data connection via "Hotspot Control", but it does not stay connected reliably (it may drop out after about 2 hours and this must run unattended). I think the unreliability is either the fault of the phone or the app. I haven't found any other hotspot apps that work without data.
I'm also aware that there are USB-powered WiFi routers that can be used but I'd like to look into USB tethering and android hotspots first.
Any ideas?
Thanks

[Q] Disable Mobile Data when connected to WiFi

Does anyone know if it's possible (maybe an XPOSED module) to lock the phone so that if it's connected to a WiFi network it disabled mobile data? For some reason, my phone was still using mobile data even though the WiFi showed connected. I think it's because my work network requires you to log on to a webpage after connecting and apps may have had trouble connecting so they switched to 4G. I watched a few YouTube videos like that and burned through nearly 1GB of my data which really stings. As a result, I've taken to manually disabling mobile data when I connect to WiFi.
I'm running LolliGPE, S-OFF, etc.
You might try something like MacroDroid.

Creating hotspot on a WiFi only device

I am wondering if there is an app that will allow me to create a wireless access point with a WiFi only device. I have tried most of the hotspot apps in the Play Store, but none of them seem to work. Foxfi won't start because it can't detect an Internet connection. Some of the other apps "start" but there is no notification and I can't find the network on my other devices.
I am trying to connect a camera to my tablet through WiFi. The camera does not support WiFi Direct, so it must be connected to an access point first. Right now, I can connect the tablet and camera by creating a hotspot on my phone and connecting both the tablet and camera to my phone's hotspot. However, I would like to be able to do this without having to use a third device. The hotspot on my phone still works even if I turn mobile data off, so I think that a WiFi only device should be capable hardware-wise.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you in advance!
