Hi, anyone have any luck with connecting two different devices at the same time with the SW2? I want to use it to control Spotify on my tablet but I don't want to lose out on notifications on my phone.

You can use the watch to control spotify on the phone in connected mode which will control spotify on the tablet. It works for me. (Must be connected to same Wi-Fi network)

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:

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 Bluetooth tether enabled Android phone and Android Tablet.
Does anyone know what app (widget) can specifically connect the tablet to the Phone's bluetooth tether? one click?
without going into the settings?
Try WiFi Manager. There are different set of widgets. You can ask google too.
Took a look at Wifi Manager on the play store, the description does not mention anything about Bluetooth.
The Search continues
Doesn't the device connect automagically when you switch bt on? I only have to pair my devices once and the connect upon turning bt on.
No, Bluetooth tethering doesn't automatically connect.
It wouldn't make sense to.
What if WiFi is already connected?
What if your bt headphone is always supposed to be connected but you don't always need Bluetooth tethering?
In any case, I solved the problem by using Tasker annd secure settings.
It will automatically connect to the cell phone's bluetooth tether when I launch the web browser or youtube or gmail if wifi is not connected.
Gotta love android. You can make your own solutions!

Is there any app that can be used to see and control the phone's screen (SGSII) from tablet (SGN10.1) using wifi network (not over internet)?

I don't know if TeamViewer QuickSupport is that app you're looking for but it can do exactly what you want. But it only works with official Stock ROMs on Samsung devices.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm looking for an app that is specially written for android phones/tablets and works with local network without internet connection.

What are you trying to control? There are several apps that might be able to help with that.
AirDroid lets you access your device from a browser. You can do almost anything you could do on your phone from the web interface, and it works over local connections.
TabletTalk allows you to sync your phone and tablet over BT or wifi so that you can get call and text notifications on your tablet, and also respond to texts. If you have a BT headset paired to your phone you can even answer the phone from the tablet and talk via your headset.
TabletRemote also lets you control one android device from another.
One of these should (hopefully) fit your needs.
Or are you looking for a VNC type of setup where you can see your phone's screen and control it on your tablet?
Hi All
i'm looking for a app with which i can use one android phone to control another android phone(with screenshare and touches are transfered to the controled phone). the one which meets almost 100% of my requirements is airdroid, but it requires internet and paid version for longer usage.
is there such app which wont require internet? maybe with wifi hotspot(without internet) and connect with second phone to it? is there such alternative with bluetooth?
Thanks!
Hi. Lot of app client/server use wi-fi and communicate with other device with a router in the middle. But if the phone is the hotspot itself (for share LTE) lot of app refuse to work. Like playstation second screen app ask for conf1=ps4<>router<>android device.
If the connection is conf2=ps4<>android device as hotspot the playstation app refuse to work because ask for enable android device wifi.
Exist a way for use conf2 ? For my opinion conf1 and conf2 can send data to each other device right? Because some app work with conf2 (like bubbleupnp, other upnp app have the same problem of playstation second screen app).

I don't know how to explain it properly, but, it doesn't work like that. It can't be the hotspot AND link with another device to share screen, etc...
As you said, you need a Wifi router between PS4 and your phone. If you have another android device, you can try enabling the hotspot on one android device, then use the other android device to connect to PS4<>hotspot phone<>android device. This would be the same as using your phone and PS4 via wifi router.

Ok. But the two device can share data in conf2 and conf1

There is a difference between sharing data and sharing data while connecting to another device for other purposes. The radio/modem in your device can't do both at the same time, only one or the other.
