Hello.
I already put this on the OnePlus Forum but had no answer. Maybe on XDA someone will manage to help me out.
I bought a wifi little device to stream music to my car Stereo and it worked great on my old iphone. I want to have the same result with the OnePlus but I’m having some trouble and need someone help.
This device has the ability to get Airplay and DLNA streams for mobiles connected to his wifi network, everything works great on iphone and on the oneplus. I use Airplayer app on my rooted OnePlus and I stream music on my OnePlus to my car stereo with no issues and with great quality.
So what’s the problem you ask.
The problem is loose my 3g connection as soon I connect to that wifi. So on my car I loose internet, cant receive emails, whatsapps, cant stream from spotify, etc etc....
On the Iphone works great, the dhcp of the router on this little device don’t send the gateway and dns to the iphone. And the iphone understand that its just a local network connection and route internet traffic through 3g. The iphone is smart. I was hopping that the ONE Plus was that smart and do the same thing, but he doesn’t. As soon I connect to the wifi of that device, my OnePlus disconnect the 3g Network instantly.
How can i have my OnePlus connected to the wifi of that device (to have Airplay or DLNA) and stil have internet???
Please help me... I'm driving crazy.
My wife has internet on her iphone while driving and I don’t???Dammm LOL
A workaround not a fix and I haven't tried it myself but maybe have a look at netup, as it is supposed to combine bandwidth on both wifi and cellular it might keep the connection up when you're connected to the car hotspot?

Thanks for the answer but I tryed the app and it works only on YouTube and other limited apps. Doesn't solve my problem to stream from other sites and maintain connectivity to receive emails and whatsapps while on my car with airplay enabled throught that little router. Thanks anyway.

I'm already aware that you can turn your Android into a router and share its 3G connection, but is it possible to broadcast wifi when the phone is connected to a workstation via an internet pass through? I've looked everywhere and can't seem to find an app that is capable of this. It'd be great for people who do not have wireless at home and would like to share their broadband connection with other units in the house.
Any developers out there know if it it possible to port the Internet Pass-Through feature [aka Reverse Tethering] of Sense ROMs to AOSP ROMs?
There is a thread here which talks about in length but it is not a simple or trouble-free process.
If HTC can do it, surely it can't be that hard! I would love to be able to move to an AOSP ROM on my One S but cannot go without the Pass-through feature.
I'm curious about how you got pass through to work? Hasn't worked for me yet because the drivers never install when I plug my phone in. And, if it did actually work, does your phone use it like WiFi so WiFi calling works? That'd be what I need it for most.

We don't have Wifi calling on the EU phone, but then we are rarely out of range of a cell.
To get Pass-through to work, it is just a matter of connecting the phone via usb to a computer and selecting Internet pass-through from the pop-up dialogue box
BUT:
There are issues with certain firewalls. When I got the phone I was using Bullguard Internet Security on my laptop and I could not get internet pass-through to work via the firewall (it worked fine if I disabled Bullguard). I spent about 3 hours online with a Bullguard technician who was unable to solve the problem.
I have since removed Bullguard and installed Microsoft Internet Security Essentials. There are no firewall problems with MISE.
You must have the latest version of HTC sync installed for Pass-through to work.
Internet Pass-through allows the phone to connect to the internet via your PC's internet connection. I use it a lot because I spend a lot of time in hotels all around Europe. When I am out of the UK I do not use roaming data (too expensive) but I always have internet in my hotel room. This is either a wired connection, or (more often) it is a WiFi connection for a single device only. I use the hotel connection for my laptop and the pass-through connection for my phone.
I am not sure if this setup would give you WiFi calling as I am not really sure how that works (does the phone differentiate between a WiFi connection and a wired connection)? It would allow you to use Skype or another VOIP service to make calls.

I agree that it would be cool if devs could port this to other roms.
Just on the off chance someone might get some use from it, here's what I do. If you're travelling with a laptop and your hotel has Ethernet, it's really easy to set your laptop to broadcast an adhoc network to share with your phone.
I know it doesn't help with hotels that only have WiFi for one device, but with places that have Ethernet and WiFi, I find that tethering to my own laptop gets me a much better connection, and it means I don't have to lug around my router.
Sorry for the OT, back to the discussion
Hi,
I would like to monitor my baby with a fixed Android phone at the cot, and a mobile Android phone with my wife or myself. Initially we were just thinking of initiating a Skype video call, but after some googling, I discovered that I could set up a phone as an IP cam with an app like IP Webcam, and then connect to it with other devices with an app like tinyCam Monitor. However, after testing it over a 3G connection, I realize I can't connect to the IP cam as it has a 10.* local IP address. I could use WiFi, but my home AP doesn't have sufficient coverage.
Are there any solutions that can stream over 3G? Or would Skype be the best solution in this case? What are the typical bandwidth requirements for video anyway?
Thanks!
One of my favorite features in the S7 is its ability to share WiFi (i.e. act as a WiFi extender / repeater). Since I travel a lot I like to connect my Chromecast in hotel rooms. However since hotel WiFi's need you to login, I wouldn't be able to connect my Chromecast to the internet. S7 solves the problem very elegantly.
Now the problem is that I need to connect to some media that is location specific (Hotstar / Netflix content). I use a VPN (tunnelbear) to access that content on my phone / laptop. However, if I share my S7 WiFi with the VPN on, the Chromecast does not connect to it? What could be the problem and is there a way around it without rooting my phone?
Regards,
Roy
good tread am asking all time for this possibility but can't share with vpn on where is problem !
Background: I had some trouble setting up my chromecast because we canceled our wifi service; we do have a wifi router, and the chromecast refused to be setup without internet. I finally got it set up on my hotspot, I had to use another old phone with the Google Home app while connected to my Note 8 hotspot. The Chromecast is now setup, connected to my hotspot, but I can't cast anything from Youtube, Allcast, etc from my Note 8 over its own Wifi Hotspot.
I have an apple tv that won't do this either. I really want to use the Chromecast to watch movies and streaming content from my phone (via Allcast or something similar).
Does anyone have any ideas, or real world solutions for using the Chromecast with the Note 8 WiFi hotspot?
I tried this once when my internet service went out while I was watching a hockey game. I never could get it to work either. I tried everything I could think of. I tried using another phone as well. I'm guessing it's not possible to stream to Chromecast from the same device that the internet signal originates. Seems like you could stream to it from the other phone, though.
But the real question would is... You realize even if you could get it to work, it's gonna eat through your mobile data ridiculously fast, right?
Good luck. If you get it working, I'd love to see what you did.
Yeah, I get that it will eat it up pretty fast. I have 10GB included with my phone, same with the wife's phone. I just hate not being able to do something that should be a thing. I guess I can use the other phone to cast through the wifi hotspot from the Note 8.
I wish there were a way to do USB tethering to my router... that would just be too easy...
