Hey guys,
since several weeks I can't open a Wifi hotspot with my S6 G920F. Purpose is to do mobile tethering.
But already creating a hotspot is not possible. The Phone reports "Tethering or Hotspot is active". But the SSID isn't visible from notebooks and other Android devices.
I tried every option in Hotspot Configuration: Device visible on/off, Security (WPA2 PSK) on/off and several broadcasting channels. Also with third party apps, like "Share it", "SVTP", „ES Filemanager“ and so on, I can’t create a hotspot.
I had the function already in use, after that no change on mobile plan. The phone is not rooted.
Does anybody know how to solve it? Is there a logfile for the hotspot-function wich may lead to the problem?
Thanks

Hello all,
I am looking for a way to run my android as a wireless router (not as an access point or a tether).
I am putting together a distributed app with components running on multiple devices. It works fine when I have the Wi-Fi enabled on my android and I have a wi-fi router to connect to, but I need to run this where I won't necessarily have the wi-fi router available.
Basically, I want to run a private network using my android as both my core app, and as a wifi-router/dhcp server, without allowing devices that connect to my android to have access to the internet through my device.
I've seen many apps and threads that all cover how to use the built-in access point, or how to configure the device as a hotspot, but these all discuss tethering and how to get past the limits (or snooping) of your provider and not how to set up a private network.
Is there a way, or an existing app that will allow me to set up a private network as I describe? If not, is there something I can do within my server code to enable the Access Point and disable Tethering at the same time?
Thanks in Advance
F.F.
I have an HTC One (M7) and during my commute I need to use the Wi-Fi Hotspot feature to access the Internet on my laptop. This works just fine... When the hotspot is enabled, I connect to the Wi-Fi network created by my phone on my computer and I can do whatever I want on the laptop. However, when the hotspot feature is enabled, I lose all kinds of mobile data access on the phone itself. If I open a site on Chrome, I get a "You are offline." message.
This is really annoying and I have no idea why it's happening. Thoughts?
I am wondering if there is an app that will allow me to create a wireless access point with a WiFi only device. I have tried most of the hotspot apps in the Play Store, but none of them seem to work. Foxfi won't start because it can't detect an Internet connection. Some of the other apps "start" but there is no notification and I can't find the network on my other devices.
I am trying to connect a camera to my tablet through WiFi. The camera does not support WiFi Direct, so it must be connected to an access point first. Right now, I can connect the tablet and camera by creating a hotspot on my phone and connecting both the tablet and camera to my phone's hotspot. However, I would like to be able to do this without having to use a third device. The hotspot on my phone still works even if I turn mobile data off, so I think that a WiFi only device should be capable hardware-wise.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you in advance!
Hi,
my problem: I'm using my U11 in an aircraft for navigation. A anti collision device (FLARM/ADS) is connected via Wifi. That works fine.
BUT unfortunately I cannot connect to the web via 3G/4G at the same time.
I tried to set "Use always mobile data" in developer settings... no success.
As long as Wifi is on no chance to connect via mobile Data.
Is ther any chance to solve my problem? THX for your help!
All android is like this I think.
Connect to wifi = kill the SIM internet, cannot enable both on the same time.
It's not a new topic btw, like when we use a GoPro and using the hotspot to control it.
Fast network switching is as close as it comes but it still won't run wifi and cell at the same time. Wifi and cell must be possible because wifi calling uses WiFi and cell (when 4g is connected).
Can you not use wifi hot-spot in some way?.
I know Wifi routers are not expensive, but how about an old android mobile device instead? My application doesn't require internet and resembles Wifi-Direct where I can broadcast UDP messages between connected clients and maybe Wifi tether. The old android mobile device I'm suggesting does not have a data plan, so some hacking of the Mobile Hotspot feature will be necessary to avoid carrier provisioning constraints.
I tried rooting my Wifi-only Samsung Galaxy Tab A (oreo 8.1) with "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" in /system/build.prop as well as settings put global tether_dun_required 0 in adb shell. Then, I thought "Mobile Hotspot and Tethering" might just show up as an option, but NO DICE.
According to that failure, my old android mobile device apparently can't be Wifi-only and needs cellular hardware to just get Mobile Hotspot on the menu... probably again by rooting, etc. if there's no data plan active.
Any insights?
