I am looking for an app that incan create a WiFi hotspot WHEN I am on WiFi. For example, if I'm on an aircraft and there is WiFi, I want to connect to it then create a hotspot so my other devices can tetjer to my connection (because you only are allowed one connection and its a paid service called GoGo).
So whenever im on a secure wifi connection I want to be able to create a further sub hotspot.
There's an app for my PC called Mhotspot which does exactly this. But the Android version just kills my WiFi and activates the in built Mobile Hotspot, which is not what I want.
Anyone?

At my mountain cabin, I do not have a household internet connection, but I do have a Wi-Fi network set up strictly for media sharing. So when I connect my s3 to Wi-Fi for sharing media with DLNA, I can no longer access any internet from my phone and it assumes my Wi-Fi network is also an internet access point, which it is not. Is there any way to force the 3g radio to stay active for internet connectivity while the Wi-Fi radio is on just for media sharing?
I am on ICS rooted and unlocked, also 4g is not yet active in the mountains, so I am limited to using the 3g radio if that makes a difference....Any suggestions appreciated!

There actually is something for that, can't quite remember what its called but I'd do a search in the apps section under android apps. I'll link it if I see it again.

Since Wi-Fi tether uses both radios simultaneously it must be possible...just can't find the app anywhere....let me know if you locate it.

Thanks. That is a really cool program fir downloading from the internet, but doesn't really do what I need. All I want is to enable Wi-Fi for DLNA and other local streaming apps, but still have internet access via mobile data. For example, I would like to stream music/video/pictures remotely from my home PC via all share play on my s3 and play them on my tv via my DLNA enabled blu ray player using the remote screen option on the S3. I don't think this currently exists, but let me know if you think of any thing else. Thanks again!

Check these threads, it has been done so far successfully on Optimus G, as well as Nexus 4 phones:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640472

Since you are rooted, please try these methods, make them work on your phone, and post your results and any changes here. I was able to bring up wifi on my nexus 4 without bringing down my mobile data. The only glitch is that the wifi icon does not turn on, but both networks are verifyiably up, so I can ssh from the phone to my LAN (and vice versa) and I can traceroute from my phone to the outside world, or access websites, through my mobile carrier.
I have a not that unusual request but google searching it is impossible due to the interchangable words and their context.....
I have an Android device with a WiFi hotspot app installed that allows me to connect to hotspots anywhere.
I am at a friends who's internet connection is currently down and needs to get online for a few hours.
I have my USB to device cable.
So I want to do.....
His Computer --> USB Cable --> My Android Device --> WiFi Connection --> My Hotspot provider --> Interweb
This would seem to be fairly standard proxy forwarding to me, so is there a proxy server app for Android?
Before anyone suggests it I can't use tethering as he wants a shedload of data and it would break my 3g cap.
Thanks in advance.

Look buddy if you want to connect your friends phone with your wifi hotspot then turn it on in settings.
You must know that there is a difference in wifi and wifi hotspot.
Your android phone must be enable of wifi hotspot or wifi tethering.
And specify your particular problem.dont mess your question.

PDANET 3.5 via USB tetheror JB USB tethering.
Just enable disable radios, start thering on the device, plug it in.. you may need a client on the pc (as in PDANET).
They are what you are looking for.

I live in the countryside where Internet service providers charge quite a bit for even a 6Mbit connection so I use my android for everything. I have a local network around the house for sharing files and media. Every time I need to transfer files I must turn on wifi on my android to connect to my home network, share the file, then disconnect again in order to browse the Internet on my phone. Is there any way to stay connected to my home network and still browse the Internet on my phone?

You could use an app in the market called Tasker. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...askerm&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
You can set up a profile to turn on WIFI when you open the app that you are moving files with. When the app is closed Tasker will shut WIFI off.
Apparently there's an app called Super Download that enables multiplexing over both 3G and Wifi connections. I'm not sure if it will work in your situation, but I suppose it's worth a shot.

I will try both of these recommendations and hopefully one will work. Thank you

Hi all
I rooted my phone with Paranoid Android 3+, now i can't connect to Wifi nor create a Wifi hotspot.
It can search and find all the available Wifi hotspots, save them but with no Internet access.
As for creating a Wifi hotspot, my computer shows that there's network by asking me to choose between a home or public network, thereafter there's nothing.
Please help!

Does anyone know what ports need to be opened for wifi calling?
works great at home but at work its being blocked.
How do you know it's being blocked?
It says so in wifi calling,

In your router if you have upnp make sure it's on. It negotiates what ports a device needs automatically.
