It has dual band WiFi, so yes it should support WiFi direct.

Yes if you go into the WiFi settings and hit the menu button, there is an entry for Wifi Direct. If you press it it will start searching for other Wifi Direct devices to connect to. So it looks like the support is there. I just don't have any other wifi direct devices to test it out.

[Q] wireless mobile hotspot hacking for android devices help.

Hi my name is jacob and I am a new on XDA and i have started a new thread because I have been all over the internet looking for a solution to this problem and none of them work. After i waved through all of the b******* i decided to come and see if any of you veterans can solve my problem.
i have been messing around with root and custom roms here recently maybe for a month and so far its great breathed new life into my old phone. Although I am having trouble with hacking my mobile phones hot spot (phone specifications and model listed below) i have tried everything wifi tether by TreVe, (hope I'm typing that right) changing tethering.dun in global settings database, (worked great until T-mobile eventually found me out) and everything else related to that. I am looking for a hack into my hot spot where T-mobile wont know s*** and it will work indefinitely. Reason why is I need internet for school and work purposes at home but, I live with my father and hes is on parole and can not have internet service at his home. I am a beginner but do have a little bit of sense in what I am doing if someone would kindly walk me through steps on how to completely unlock and hide my hot spot usage from T-mobile it would be greatly appreciated.
Also new thread for hacking native hot spot methods on any rooted android device.
My phone
Samsung Galaxy S2
carrier: T-mobile
model: SGH-T989 Hercules
no custom kernel (I understand I need some kind of net filter but can not find that online)
custom rom version: carbon 4.4.2 nightly
Thanks XDA community :good:

It won't be wireless, but PdaNet+ and USB tethering works just fine with a computer as long as you select the "hide tether usage" option. The program on the computer side also has a feature that turns your computer's wi-fi into a wi-fi router, which'll allow you to connect other devices.

yes i have tried PDAnet and that does not work for my needs as i also play the occasional online game with my PS4 I forgot to mention that sorry. I have tried to send out a wifi signal from my computer through CMD on my computer and none of my devices pick it up even though CMD says the signal is going out also done this with ADhoc networks with a LAN cable but did not work either. Thanks for the suggestion :good: I probably should have went into more detail with my post but I did not want to make it to terribly long sorry.

May it possibly hide my online gaming if I figure out a way to get reverse WiFi on my computer working will it still hide that or will it be detectable. I see my self as a somewhat computer buff but I put myself to shame when i cant get a reverse WiFi connection going from my computer. seems like a lot of trouble to go to for internet i wish there was a way to unlock native tethering and not jump through hoops. It would seem that it would be a simple fix and should also be free anyway since it is dealt with the phone's hardware not through the carrier american cell network providers are greedy that is like getting xfinity internet but before you can send internet to your devices you have to pay thirty dollars extra.

When you USB tether your phone to your computer with PdaNet+, all you have to do is select the "WiFi Share" option and set it up like any other hotspot (network name, password, etc). Couldn't be easier. I don't know how well this'll work for playing PS4 (or whatever) games, but I can use this setup to watch Netflix or youtube on my well enough.
There are ways to use the native hotspot on an Android phone, but all the "hacks" are done on the computer side. VPNs, browser masking, etc.

i will try this method browser masking right now unfortunately don't have the money to buy a VPN maybe one of the ad supported free versions will suffice will report back tomorrow.

Method not working i still get the T-mobile up sell page through VPN's of all kind it masks the internet going through the computer but not the phone where the service originates. They still detect everything I am doing. I understand T-mobile has bots going through their lines that detects devices that are not mobile devices and shuts them down. If maybe there is a way to block T-mo completely from a mobile device and just sounds ridiculous but I know someone out there can find a way I have heard of peoples mobile data usage and their mobile hot spot gauge has not moved only mobile data was detected. I am not sure if this was false statements and was made up.

Hi Jacob, I got my Note 3's native personal wifi hotspot connected to my ps4 with around 18Mbps Download and 6Mbps Upload, I adjusted the APN settings on my phone and managed to get around the data restriction.
I can post the exact settings I changed if you think it might work for you?

WIFI

Hello all,
This is my first smartwatch, I am having some troubles connecting to certain WIFI. Is there limitations on what kind of WIFI network this watch can see and connect to? My home WIFI seems to work just fine, but when I am at work, it doesnt see all the networks, and the one it does see......it wont let me connect to? Is there any way to fix this? I am guessing it might be some sort of security settings on the WIFI at my workplace?

Is your mobile connected to your work WIFI if so it sync with the watch with no need to setup

It may not have the functionality to connect to 5.0ghz, only 2.4ghz Wi-Fi. I can't test that because my home router is from my broadband provider. I tried a google search and the only thing that came up was that it can connect to wireless b/g/n. Nothing stating if it can or cannot connect to 5.0ghz.

it can only connect to 2.4 ghz networks.
5 ghz usually need a/ac standard to connect to.

Force Android to use wifi N instead of AC wifi, possible? I want to turn OFF AC...

Ok so I have a wifi hotshot sharing app which can create a hotspot but it keeps making it over 2.4g AC. BUT since some of my older devices don't have AC they can't connect (they need G or N)
Is there any app or menu or way to edit setting on my phone which is sharing the intent and force it to either turn OFF AC wifi altogether or to just disable it temporally that way it ends up making the hotspot over N or even G is ok with me?
PS the sharing app does not have this option.
Any suggestions are very welcome ?

There should be a setting in the hotspot configuration settings that allows you to choose which 802.11 mode it broadcasts. There should be a setting to choose something like 802.11g, 802.11c or 802.11g/c/n.

"Auto switch to mobile data" option

Hi All
Was wondering if someone can help me out. I have a WiFi compatible dash camera and to get footage from it without removing the microsd card i need to connect to it via WiFi. But because the connection doesn't have a internet connection it doesnt stay connected.
I have come from a OnePlus phone to the 4a (my first ever google phone) and i cant seem to find this option anymore. Was just so handy to be able to connect to the camera via WiFi while still having mobile data.
Was this a OnePlus only option? Or was it removed or moved in A11? Anyone able to point me into the correct direction?
Thanks in advance

If I understand correctly, I think you are wanting to put the phone in hotspot mode. That would allow the camera to connect as if your phone is a wireless router using your phone's data connection. You'll need to swipe down twice from the top to show quick options. If you don't see one called Hotspot, swipe to the side to reveal additional quick options. I know this works on unlocked Pixel 4a phones.
Hope this helps.

Nah not quite right. The dash camera has its own WiFi hotspot which you can connect too to view the footage and saved videos etc. But because there is no internet connection the pixel wont stay connected, the only way i can connect to it is to put my phone into airplane mode and connect to the camera.
I'm just trying to find out if its possible to stay connected to the dash camera via WiFi and still remain connected to my mobile data at the same time.
I remember an option in the one OnePlus phones where you can allow the phone to determine which connection is better, WiFi or Mobile Network, and it will connect to that. For example if i would connect to my home network and moved just on the boarder of it it would flick over to 4G so that i would still have some sort of internet connection while still connected to the WiFi so that when i would get back in range it would just flick over.
So what im trying to do is the same thing. Because the dash cam doenst have a internet connection i want to be able to connect to the dash cam with no internet connection but still use my mobile data as my internet source.
This is what it looks like in the OnePlus phone https://forums-images.oneplus.net/attachments/1180/1180298-d92e7795edbf40894ba4164fe89fc486.jpg which is obviously not present in the Pixel under Settings > WiFi > WiFi preferences.
Thanks

I don't see it here. I used to have that setting as well on my LG G7.
