Is it possible to turn my phone into a repeater? To have a wifi connection and tethering on?

I don't think so. Turning on the wifi hotspot disconnects you from wifi. I'm guessing its a limitation of today's radios.
It sounds like the same piece of hardware can only do one or the other not both.

no, its not possible, your last statement is right.
You can, however, tether internet via Bluetooth while being on WiFi, if the device you want to connect to the phone supports that.

I had the same problem in my house with my ATT U-verse wifi router when a couple friends came over with their iphone and laptops.
I think the U-Verse router has a maximum connexions.
Are you able to connect somewhere else? Have you checked the password for the encrypted WiFi connexion?
Using wifi for this reply. Definitely working.

Hi people,
Recently went to the market, and I tried downloading Green Power. It claimed to be able to work with 2.3.3
However, I don't see it toggling 3G automatically.
Has anyone managed to get it working?

If you are connected to a wireless network the app doesn't use your data connection. Try running the app with your wireless off or turn off your router. You'll see it working then.

Huh I thought the main objective of the app is to turn off the 3G when its not in use?
What's the point of turning off the wifi or router?

I use an app called "Network Switcher" which seems to work well on my Nexus S

Great app I think it helps me save battery I'm still
On 2.3.2 still waiting for 2.3.3
Just tried network switcher ... sometimes it doesn't return me 3G connection ..

I got this yesterday it does switch off the 3g so I think its been working. Although there were a few times when I switch RH screen on and off too quickly that it takes 10 seconds o so before 3g comes back
So far its been good using greenpower can update later

The reason I said to turn off wifi/router was so he could see if the app was turning on/off his 3g connection properly; that being his question

Alright its been a few days and I can safely say that green power is working out awesome for me
If I just leave the phone alone it last a lot longer I'd estimate it to using around 10-20% battery judging by the percentage reported by the phone

Whenever I use AOKP's built in free hotspot with Windows it connects but with limited connectivity. Thus making it pretty much useless lol. Tried it in Ubuntu as well but it just wouldn't connect altogether. Anyone else experience this issue? If so what is the fix?

I think I read it had to do with security. Try using it as an unsecured access point.

can anyone confirm if this app works?
if so is it possible stock rooted? Do you need a custom kernel or anything?

What Zandeer said. On the nexus 5 the stock tethering built in is the best and honestly only one you should use.

I'd like to know the answer to question the OP posted, not what we should use. Included hotspot is based off your data plan...

Exactly, this app currently saves me about $30/month. Wondering if it works and what is needed for it to work
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I need this answer too. Its true I don't want the built in app because then network provider knows I am using tethering. I am on Straight Talk and I use Wifi Tether occasionally when I am outside probably once every few months or so. Appreciate if someone can reply to this.
Hello, sometimes I have this problem that I randomly can't use 3G data. The 3G icon is still grey (if there's no data its brown), but nothing that requires internet works. Also, the two small arrows near the 3G icon show me that no download is taking place (no down pointing arrow) and only upload arrow is active. Does anyone else have/had this kind of problem?

It could be the APN? Does LTE or Edge work?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
It happens randomly, I am not willing to test the crawling EDGE and I don't have LTE either. I'll add that my previous phone didn't have this issue.

I had a nexus 4 that cut out and bars went at my mates, a 3 blackspot. My Nexus 5 shows bars but looses data and sometimes says I need to insert a working sim and reboot. None of this happens at home. It's like the phone has a breakdown with a weak signal!
