Hey xda-community
little question. Does anyone know how to use Wifi and LTE at the same time?
I using a OBDII scanner with WIFI connection and will use my Internet over LTE @ the same time because some apps for the car needs Internet-connection.
Thank you for helping.

Try enabling Developer Options and then toggling "Keep mobile data turned on". See if that helps. And by the way what ODB II scanner/diagnostic program are you using that requires both WiFi (instead of bluetooth) and internet to function? That sounds like an incredibly poor way to simply run codes and whatnot.
Tried and doesn't work. I use SmartControl (Paid Version). Since i use the Superman-Rom, it has a bug and need to verificate with PlayStore if i start it. (Fixed with LuckyPatcher now xD)
But i need the connection for realtime traffic-informationen from google and other similar apps. My car hasn't the realtime-traffic information function. :/
Best option might be to eat the loss and just buy an OBDII scanner with Bluetooth instead of the WiFi version.

I've never actually used the wifi version, but I have no issues with speed or sample rates with a bluetooth scanner. Though I spent the little bit extra for a high quality scanner vs one of those generic $15 ebay specials. Nothing wrong with those if you want to just occasionally check codes, but if you're doing logging and stuff, they're not really that reliable.

I use the OBDLink LX scanner. Currently $49 on Amazon http://a.co/eXdi9J6 It has great refresh rates, and a secure connection so not just anyone can walk up and pair with it.
The OBDLink MX is a little more but supports a few extra protocols if you need it.
What ODB II scanner do you have? You still haven't listed it..

I believe you are mistaken, and the wifi version has no GPS.
I have a bluetooth GPS receiver that I used with my Viewsonic g tablet but that required an "blueGPS" app to get it to work. I imagine with Touchpad may also require a third app to get it to work. An app that is likely not available for the Touchpad.
Are their any app for the Touchpad that can use a GPS?
There are apps in the hp-market. But i can't make out if they
all are real gps or if they need wlan/inet too.
Most of them also cost money.
I think i also read somewhere about using extern gps with that app
called usbpassthrough. But that app looks like some handy app, because
it didn't start in fullmode.
Ah, my apologies, my information was based off of a chart I googled last Saturday after purchase. It did not differentiate between the wifi and 3g/4g versions. I guess I can cross searching for a new GPS app off my to do list...

LOL... yeah, no need for a GPS app.
I wonder if there is a way to get my bluetooth GPS receiver to work with the Touchpad. I got a confirmation e-mail about 3 or 4 days later from HP.com but it hasn't shipped so I'm not certain I will actually get one.
Anyone got some info on this, with GPS this table would be such a great product.

Install Preware and get Navit. The app works fine in fullscreen and either orientation. Just let us know if you manage to get your dongle working.
I've got a Bluetooth dongle but the touchpad couldn't find it... I tried selecting OTHERS but nothing...wondering why...
EDIT: I found that we cannot any other device other than webOS, I suspect it's all about the stack, hopefully some developer out there can hack it.

Reading that ^ I tried an old cheapie chinese BT GPS receiver I have lying around, it found and connected in a couple of seconds. Now we just need some GPS software to make the right calls to it!
To both of you who've successfully paired your GPS dongles, does GPS show up as an available location service?
If not, it shouldn't be particularly difficult to make a patch.

No you can't do anything with it, none of the existing gps apps work because they are looking for an internal gps module, they don't look to bluetooth for it. What we would need is an app that works via the bluetooth stack? the way the old Palm Tx etc did.
Hello there,
I was wondering if there is a way to use a 3G dongle with my Asus in order to have internet access when i don't have a wifi connection.
If i can't use a dongle could you please offer me a solution to a matter extremely important to me and many others as internet on the go.
Thank you in advance,
Perhaps you should consider tethering to a phone via WiFi or Bluetooth for internet access.
I use a G1 Dream for tethering via Bluetooth. Bluetooth uses less power than WiFi.
Assuming you have a smartphone, tethering is the way to go. You could mcguiver up something with the sub dongle a rocket stick (sub cell modem) but tethering is way easier and you are already paying for that data plan. Did exactly that tonight and was getting over 18 Mbps down.

I use a 3G Huawei E586 mifi device which works perfectly.
Thank you all for your kind replies, the easiest method of them all seems to be the tethering.
I have a smart phone, and i will try tonight the aforementioned method to see if it is working.
Do i have to enable something else besides bluetooth on my phone before i make a connection with my tablet?
Something that i didn't understand is the way that you proposed me with the 3G dongle.
Do i have to buy my own 3G dongle of this particular brand ( Huwei ) in order to make it work
with the usb slot on my keyboard?
Again thank you all, you have been very helpful and you saved me from a lot of trouble,
thumbs up for your help to this thread:good:
My kindest regards,
Hi
I'm not sure about the other brands. But Huwei works fine. If you want to tether from your smart phone better use the wifi tethering in stead of bluetooth.
Good luck

If your smart phone will not "tether" easily, you can try the Vodafone Mobile Wi-Fi R205. It will provide Wifi access to the internet to any device you might have.
I'm too new to the game to be allowed to post a link. Got to vodaphone DOT gr. Click eshop, then usb sticks.
Other mobile services here in Greece may have something similar.
It's simple as can be.

Thank you all again for your replies,
I have just tested and it works like a charm the tethering method through my mobile, but as i have read in a couple of posts up
i was suggested to use wifi tethering in stead of bluetooth.Why is that? What are the pros and cons of one method over the other?
My kind regards,
Using WiFi or Bluetooth each have their pros and cons.
Security - Bluetooth has encryption built in. Vulnerabilities have been identified in Bluetooth's encryption, but even with today's hardware it would take a few hours for a machine to crunch the numbers required to crack a Bluetooth session. With WiFi tethering, assuming you are using WPA or WPA2 on the connection, the encryption would be stronger and thus more secure. WEP encryption would not be any more secure than Bluetooth but would still discourage casual snooping. I'm not sure if something like Cyanogenmod's built-in tethering offers WPA, but I know applications like FoxFi do. Advantage on security - WiFi
Speed - If you've got a 3.5g or 4g connection, your tethering connection could be a speed bottleneck. Bluetooth is really only capable of around 2 Mbps (that's megaBITs per second, not bytes). That's still faster than a T1 wired connection or the same speed as a euro E1. I'd consider that plenty fast for one machine browsing but if you want to support a number of machines through tethering you might notice a slowdown. WiFi gives you 11Mbps and maybe up to 54Mbps. Advantage on speed - WiFi
Distance - Bluetooth is only useful to a maximum of around 10 meters. WiFi could go as far as 100 meters. Both protocols are susceptible to interference from just about any nearby electronic device and neither does a good job of going through walls or other obstructions. Advantage on distance - WiFi
Power Consumption - In some use cases, Bluetooth's speed and distance limitations are drawbacks. But those two things combined add up to Bluetooth using much less energy to operate than WiFi. On two mobile devices, longer battery life could be important. During WiFi tethering, batteries tend to discharge so quickly that they release more heat than normal and many tethering apps monitor the battery's temperature so it doesn't cook. Repeated overheating can shorten battery life. Advantage on battery life - Bluetooth
Bluetooth tethering is of course useless for devices that don't have Bluetooth. I'd love to be able to tether my Nook Touch, but my battered old G1 has a broken WiFi board and the Nook only uses WiFi. Other than that, I haven't found any disadvantages to using Bluetooth for tethering.
Hope this clears things up some.
Bt: saves battery, slower speed and can connect only one device.
Wifi: battery consumption, higher speed and can connect up to 5 devices.
I hope that helps

I have the PiPO M6, and I tell you it does not have a GPS, or anything assimilated in. E-compass would be an electronic compass.
If you want to use the tablet as a navigation device, I'd suggest installing an app such as Bluetooth GPS and connecting to an external source of GPS data to which you can connect to using BT. You can use your smartphone's GPS for example, or get a dedicated unit such as the Royaltek GPS that you can find for about $35

Fast and smooth in launcher app, Sometimes some lag when i have too many apps open. Browsing with Chrome can be somewhat laggy, but I understand Dolphin does a better job. The screen is excellent, with good colours!
No regrets with this tablet - the build quality is good, the screen is great and PiPO seems to be willing to maintain it for the moment being with regular firmware updates. What I'm looking forward to is an update with the RK3188 SDK 2.0 which is supposed to bring substantial benefits.
It looks as though a firmware incorporating the SDK 2.0 has been made available Will test and get back

You need an app that reads the GPS data on your Nexus 7 and makes it available through BT such as GP2 to Bluetooth https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cajax.gps2bt2
On your tablet you need a provider that can connect to you phone once you've paired the two, with "mock locations" enabled, for example https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.turboirc.bgp.v1
Then on your tablet you need an navigation app such as MapFactor: GPS Navigation (you can download the maps to your tablet before going on the road)

Hi guys, i'm coming from the Moto 360 Sport, and interested in getting the Huawei Watch 2 Sport, simple because Moto crippled it after the AW 2.0 upgrade, ridiculously slow to use now.
With the Moto 360 Sport, it did have a display feature called "AnyLight ", that displays in 'any light' and i loved that.
Motorola accomplishes it by combining a traditional backlit LCD in "transmissive" display with reflective backing. Or something like that.
Anyway, I really like this feature, see screens attached.
I was wondering what the Huawei Watch 2 Sport/Classic screens look like in dim/ambient mode. Does it have this idea?
Anyone care to share some photo of this, as I've read/watched so many reviews, but cannot see what this looks like.
Thanks a lot.
Darren.
Hw2 is amoled so in ambient modes is uses much much less battery because of the black pixels being off, but this feature that you're talking about is not available in hw2, however the watch display is very sharp and shiny even in direct sun light.
also be aware that amoled screens get damaged (burn-in issue) if a pixel is on a particular color for a long time, meaning that for example on ambient mode there are numbers around the screen that are always on, this may cause those numbers to burn in the screen so even when you are in a completely different screen, you will still see those numbers! (for more info google Burn-in)
Just adding to what was already said regarding burn in. Most watch face makers that support ambient move include a feature which shifts the pixels around ever so slightly to prevent burn in. A very simple yet elegant solution to the problem.

Judging by the list published on ant+ website, no. Only a handful of manufacturers support it.
But what is your use case for wanting ant+ in a phone? I mean I have garmin devices with ant+ and I've never used it.
My watch has bluetooth and wifi, and my scales have wifi. Perhaps the only device without bluetooth or wifi is the heart strap, which I hardly ever use since the wrist monitor is pretty decent for running.

The list on the ant+ website isnt exhaustive. There are apps available to enable to hardware in a lot of phones - oneplus included. However in the 6/6t there were issued with its stability and I was wondering if it has been resolved in the 7.
why do I want it? So i can use it as a bike computer instead of shelling out £££ for a garmin edge which does the same thing. I need the ANT+ for my cadence and power meters. I dont want to be constantly looking at my watch whilst im riding.
Also, the garmin footpod is ANT+ (although this gets picked up by my watch so is fine).
I don't have a bike computer, but if you want me to test something I have the phone.
If you can explain how (what app etc) I can try it with the heart rate monitor, which is only ant+, no wifi or bluetooth.
