Hi,
After enabling wireless tethering on my Galaxy Note 10.1, i can successfully connect my laptop to the wireless network. But I cannot access the internet. I am able to browse the net fine on the tab but i cannot get any internet access via my laptop.
Extra info: I get a request timeout if i try to ping 4.2.2.2 on my laptop.
Any help on resolving this would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Saf

Is there any way (through mods or otherwise) to get the Galaxy S able to connect to the internet through a bluetooth connection?
I have a device that is able to share the connection via BT but as far as I know there's no readily apparent way for the Galaxy S to connect in this way.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hi!
I'm having an issue with the wireless hotspot function between the SII and the Galaxy Tab Plus.
I've set up the hotspot as the phone suggested, but when I connect the Tab, it can connect to the network, but can't seem to access the internet at all. The wireless connection bar is white, but not blue like it is when I've connected to my router.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Is this a pay only hotspot app on the SII as for example Verizons hotspot app which requires a seperate data plan? I was able to get Android Wifi Tether to work on mine. Something to do with tablets not being able to connect to adhoc wifi connections? My phone is an HTC Droid Incredible, open Wifi Tether and go to Settings>Change Setup-Method and enabled Softap (master) and was finally able to get my GTab to recognize the phone.
Sorry for the late reply!
I've asked my provider, and they said that I shouldn't have any issues using the stock app in Android. I had a look on the internet (Called Samsung and they were no help) about your suggestion on ad-hoc networks, and it seems to be bang on the money. I'm not too keen on rooting my phone at the moment, but will definitely consider it in the near future when ICS comes out.
Thanks for your help!

Hello everyone,
I currently have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1(GT-P5113) with an USB to Ethernet adapter. My ethernet connection is up and running and I can surf the web without any problem. The problem is some apps are using wifi/3G by default and can't use anything else. So I was wondering if it was possible to bridge the ethernet connection to the wifi... Or if you have other solutions to resolve this situation let me know. It would be greatly appreciated
Thank you
I bought a straight talk Samsung galaxy j7 sky pro and can't find the hotspot if it even has one. So I installed a hotspot from the Google play store and it says I have to root before it can be used with this phone. Can someone please tell me what that is and how to fo it? I tried looking it up on Google but I couldn't make heads or tails of it.
This works
I have this phone for straight talk and i use PDAnet for android. If you have a laptop with hotspot capabilities, you can use PDAnet on there for a USB tether. The other alternative that might work for you ( did not work for me due to some dumb error) is FoxFi. FoxFi is compatible with PDAnet too. You can use a Bluetooth connection too for some devices.
Hope it works!
What does it matter what "hotspot" capabilities you have on any other device other than a standard wifi connection? And pdanet is used on the pc or other device? What exactly turns wifi hotspot feature on on this phone according to your solution?
So I was able to connect my windows laptop to the network but not my other android phone. I have PdaNet installed on it too. So if anyone has any tips on how to get android to Android to work with this phone pls advise. I'm using the j7 Sky Pro for straight talk

I also have a J7 sky pro and have noticed when trying to connect to a pdanet hot spot (using wifi direct hotspot on another device and connecting to it with the J7) that some devices have communication issues that are hit or miss. My wife has the galaxy note 9. When hers is used as the wifi direct hot spot it will connect to the network using WPS but pdanet bugs out or something. After wps process finishes it says "WPS complete, Waiting for wifi connection. It remains stalled out there. However I did manage to get it to sucessfully connect to it ONCE (1 out of about 400 attempts) I did manage to get it to connect outside of pdanet for internet connection by using the wifi connection settings and connecting to the network there but also hit the advanced options and then set the proxy to manual then used 192.168.49.1 as the proxy address & port 8000. that allowed me to gain internet with the j7. As i said though it so far has just been with the Note 9. A friend with an S9 set his up and I could connect to it just fine. So I don't know if it is pdanet actually nerking out and having issues or if it is the communication between the devices. If you are trying to use your J7 as the hotspot set it up as wifi direct instead of the foxfi hotspot then use connect to pdanet hotspot from the other device to connect to the the J7
