What's the best Wifi Hotspot app that works on 4a and uses local phone data rather than 'mobile hotspot' data with carrier. TIA
edit: I've tried PDA Net, NetShare, NetBridge and others and none work. The wifi connects but no data. It is an Android 10 thing? I used to be on LOS ROM so haven't had to do this for years.
PDA Net works. You just have to make sure that you're using the client to connect otherwise you won't get data. I ran into the same thing this morning when trying it out.

I didn't have any issue since this week but this week when I'm on wifi I can connect to all websites but when I'm on 3g I can't connect to some of them. And my applications which collect data from those websites also can't receive any data (eg. like some local forum or traffic apps). When I switch to wifi everything works. Any ideas? btw I'm on insertcoin 2.2.5 SSE. But I tried other roms and the result is the same.

Sounds like this could be carrier related. Did you have this problem when you were on stock ROM?
Also, try using the phone as wifi hotspot and see if you can connect to those sites on a laptop using the hotspot.
I am running the Zero rom and it is working great. I am having one issue but not sure if it is ICS related ot not. I am currently in Afghanistan and have edge data service. When I first started using it on GB all I had to do was create a new Access Point and only had to enter "internet" into the APN, no authentication, no proxy etc. So I instaleld ICS then when to their website (etisalat) for the APN setting. They show using a proxy but still no authentication. When I use those settings it shows that I am connected to edge but I get no data down and eventually get an error about not connetcing to the proxy. Anyway, I couldn't get it to work so I used the original APN setting but had to enable "Pap or Chap" authentication. Now it works.
But, the problem I am having is that it takes forwver to get data to connect. I mean when I leave my wifi connection, or go from a place with no cell signal to a place with signal, it takes a long time (5-30 min) for the phone to establish a data connection. I try to open my broswer or other internet programs but they just fail to connect saying no network avaiable. I try turning data on and off etc but it doesn't force it to connect. Eventually I will see the edge data connection icon showing in the top bar and it works again.
Anyone have any idea why it is slow to connect to the data? I never had this problem in GB.
Thanks
Try flashing the radio from this thread, its UCLA3, the best radio in many peoples opinion for speed and connectivity. It is gb based, but that shouldn't be an issue. I was using it with ics for a long time

Thanks, I will give it a try.
Well that didn't seem to help. Any other ideas?
Thanks
Hello,
I recently used Pdanet to connect my desktop to my wi-fi network and ran into the problem of using up all my data. I have t-mobile and I was connected to my wi-fi but it still counted the data and I was sent a text message saying that the rest of my data usage would be throttled. I was using albinomans CM10 rom and have heard of it reporting incorrect data usage if that is the problem. So my question is how can I use my phone to connect devices to my own wi-fi network but not use up my data? Thanks

Albinoman's data usage bug is isolated to the phone. Tmobile meters your data outside the phone.
In all likelihood, your desktop blew through whatever your 4G allotment was-- not surprising given that a few windows updates, an hour or so of music and a TV show or two will easily eat up 1GB.
Also consider that accessing webpages via your desktop uses a lot more data than accessing the mobile versions on your PC.
The only real solution is to upgrade to unlimited 4G, but some have reported nag web pages from TMobile for tethering on that plan. There are a few ways around it, well documented here.
I really don't understand why I'm being charged then if I'm using data that is from my network. There has to be a way to work around this.
Rooted in the usual way. Full data connectivity before hand and now nothing afterwards. Any advice?
Everything is still stock just rooted OnePlus One. At&t Go plan is up to date with an extra month already paid for.
What do you mean by "No data"?
Aren't you able to connect to the internet or is it something else?

My signal indicates that I have no connectivity when I use an APN other than stock. It is a orange signal. When I use the stock ATT LTE APN I have nothing, a full signal but it is like a roaming no data signal. I am not able to connect to any mobile data network.
Do you have rooted your device?
When you connect to the WIFI, you can get data from the web?

The device is rooted, had data before the root. Yes does have data with wifi just not through the carrier.
Then delete your host file at system>etc>host
then try to reboot the phone.
Yesterday was like any other day, I took the bus to work and enabled mobile hotspot on my Oneplus 6 so I could do some work. On my way home in the afternoon, I did the same thing. This time however, I had exclemation marks on the mobile network symbol in the statusbar. Tried enabling hotspot anyway but there was network. Rebooted the phone but still the same issue. Oh well, I thought it was just my carrier then. When I came home to my wifi, I checked my carriers status information on their websites and there was no disturbances. Then I restored a backup which failed and I had to reflash the phone entirely with the latest pie zip. Today, I still don't have any network on my sims. I use two sims but they are using the same carrier. I also asked around my friends which has the same carrier and they have network...
I would understand if something might have happened when I reflashed the phone last night but that does not explain the sudden malfunction of the network on my bus ride home, the phone had worked flawlessly for a whole week.
This thread seem to be about the same thing and I tried the solutions regarding clearing caches and settings but it did not work:
https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...ot-working-but-network-bars-are-there.844978/
Could it be something with the IMEI number? But it doesn't explain why it stopped working out of the blue. I can see both my IMEI numbers in the settings and I have also tried install Magisk 17.2 beta as suggested by another user. I think I still have a backup of the modem on my pc. However this is from when the network still worked and then suddenly stopped working.
TLDR: I have full reception, Calls and SMS work, there is just no Internet connection.
Just to be sure, datasave is turned off?

Yep, that is off. I have also reset my APN setting and double checked them with my provider, it didn't help.
No hotspot
I'm having a similar issue, I updated to android p stable and since then I can't use hotspot. It turns on fine and says devices connected but internet doesn't work on the connected devices. This seems to be an issue with Android P because my gf also has the op6 and I tried hotspot on hers before updating and it worked fine, then updated and it stopped working for her too. I have also tried clearing cache and manually entering the APN. I need to be able to tether to my laptop and tablet for work so anyone solution to this problem would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Although the problem I decribed in this thread isn't the hotspot problem, it was caused by my carrier. But I also have issues with hotspot, my laptop has trouble finding the wifi from the phone.
