So I have wifi at home it sucks the max speed available in our area is 1.5 mbs, but on my phone through lte I get between 8mbs and 40 mbs, so I was wondering if there was any way that I could use my phone internet for accessing say netflix or whatever and using the network at home so that I could connect and send what I'm downloading on my phone to the chromecast. Or are there any other devices that will allow me to do this??

Is there such app?
or perhaps something that prevents the phone from disconecting from a wifi conection when it goes to sleep?/
or one that prevents the phone to go sleep while conected to a wifi?
The thing is, my plan is not unlimited and i dont want to use 3G if a wifi connection is available and connecting each time is a pain.
At some point Froyo was doing this (conecting automatically, almost instantl to my home wifi when i opened browser for instance) but not anymore.
cheers
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?
I decided to root my phone (galaxy S5) and downloaded the Wi-Fi tether router from the play store. I recently got a message saying " You've used 100% of the paid high speed data on your T-mobile plan. Your Smartphone Mobile Hotspot speed will now be limited to 128 kbps until 09/23/2015. Smartphone data will still be at full speeds. My laptop connects at full speed when using a vpn. Last month it also would work using a user agent and the console would be unaffected for some reason this month T-mobile has found a way to stop it. The console will obtain the IP address, internet connection is successful but the download speed says 128 kbps making everything unplayable. My APN and router settings are all correct and I don't know what to do. This is my only means of playing online or enjoying Netflix plz help me.
Hmmm
The ps store and friends list load slow but I can play games without lag for some reason
Same Problem here. The issue is you can use a user-agent switcher for the pc to hide tethering but not for the PS4. There is no way to hide it so Tmob ALWAYS knows you are tethering your PS4....ie data gone...
Hi all,
I have NBN Fibre 100mbps / 40mbps (300GB - 150 peak / 150 off-peak)
Modem/router is Audiocodes MP264
I have an HTC One M7 (rooted) and Galaxy Note Edge (no root)
I need to limit the speed of WIFI that is usable on the handsets as the kids waste the data watching Youtube in 1080p all the time. (so other apps too)
The modem is useless in setting QoS or Traffic Shapping, it cant be done.
Easy option is to change the WIFIs 802.11 to b or g and then the WIFI is only putting out to the devices about 7mbps-15mbps or there abouts rather than the much higher speeds n will provide.
Issues when using b or g is that the Samsung TV and the wifes iPhone will also be restricted.
Is there an application that will restrict WIFI download bandwidth directly on the devices either via a firewall or a WIFI manager app?
All I have been able to find is firewalls that allow or stop internet traffic, or WIFI managers that restrict uploads or tethering.
Can someone suggest any apps that can rate limit the WIFI on the device directly?
Or, is there a Youtube app that you can set the default playback resolution to something low (the official youtube app always goes 1080p via my WIFI)
Thank you
NVM - I have now found OGYouTube - this appears to be working fine, can limit both mobile and WIFI data by default - set to 360p (will use 240p if im feeling real harsh)
Hey guys, I've searched and seen similar questions asked with no clear answer. I live in an area where my the internet speed is extremely slow. My mobile data is much faster and allows me to stream videos, music etc. However, in order to connect with all of my other devices on my home wifi network (chromecast, roku etc.), I'm forced to use the terrible wifi internet speed instead of my mobile data. Is there any way around this? Apps, hacks etc?
You could possibly try a teathering app. That might work. I Hope This Helped in any way.

My home Internet is extremely slow and the only carrier available in my area. It's too slow to use any streaming services
How about Wi-Fi router with sim card support?
