I haven't used any special Wifi tether apps for many years. I did a search and couldn't find any useful info.
My phone is rooted, on Android 9. Would appreciate tips on this topic.
I do have 10GB hotspot with my unlimited plan, but occasionally need more.
Thanks,

to share your mobile data via wifi hotspot:
Settings > connections > hotspot
wifi tethering (wifi connection via wifi hotspot) needs two wifi hardware modules to being able to send/receive at the same time.

Ok, I've been looking around for a couple hours now but people aren't understanding my question/dilemma
I am currently using a goWIFI connection on my tablet, I'm only allowed to login with one device at a time. So I am trying to share my xoom's wifi, not data connection with my phone so they can both be using the same wifi connection
I do not want to share a data connection with my phone, I want to share the wifi connection with my phone. How can I do this? FoxFI only seems to share data connections.

And you have tried putting your tablet in airplane mode to shutoff you mobile data connection?
Are ypu on a custom ROM? I have never tried it but some seem to offer turning your tablet into a portable wifi connection, might be the backdoor to tether your phone that you need
I dont have a data plan right nnonow for my tablet, its only running on wifi as it is. I have already disabled mobile data in settings. I am running EOS 3 build 134.
I am just looking to share the current wifi connection instead of a data connection.

If you're using an android phone you can set up your phone as a wifi hotspot. Settings/more/mobile network sharing. Not sure if your phone has to be rooted to do this.

Most of the time this feature is turned off by your carrier. You usually have to pay extra. But try wifi tether, barnacle from Google play there are some like pda that do not require root . good luck
Nice and easy to share celluar internet with your tablet. If you can't on your original, there is a few apps to help out with that on the play store. I perfer to use bluetooth to share the data, since it uses less battery power.
If you can't buy a Wifi/Bluetooth tethering app on your phone, you probably can on your tablet, and use a root file explorer to transfer the file from your tablet and install it on your phone. Just don't share that file with anyone else. You'll need to have your google play account on both devices, but it does work. Most Bluetooth tethering apps this way require a client and server, and don't work quite so well.
The second way you can go about it is more complex if your Celluar carrier has tethering turned off. Flash a non-tethering-blocked rom onto your phone (CyanogenMod works) and then just use the built in tethering. Bluetooth tethering this way works wonderfully.
And for both methods, might look into Tasker - an automation utility that can help set up connections when conditions are met.
But that is roughly your two options if your carrier has tethering blocked. Find an App or Flash your phone.
Good luck
Currently I am using the custom rom Mahdi-Rom 2.7 [08/08]
I see that it has the tethering and portable hotspot under wireless network settings.
With tmobile, even though I have unlimited data, I believe they do have limit for hotspot sharing only 3gigs.
Can someone confirm that if we are using a custom rom, we can tether without our carrier knowing?
or we need to have some kind of VPN on the phone ? When I am out without wifi, I would like to use my phone's data connect to laptop.
The tethering and portable Hotspot is a feature of aosp. All roms has this feature since the oneplus one ships with cm which is pretty much aosp + cm features.
Depending on what your t mobile plan is, it has included tethering. So if you choose to tether, it will work.
If the carrier doesn't want you to tether and you don't have tethering on your plan then when you try and tether and a device connects to your portable Hotspot you will be greeted with a t mobile placeholder page telling you to get a tethering plan.

I have ported this over to the OPO http://d-h.st/Usv
So first set up a portable hotspot and connect to your hotspot via your laptop see what happens first.
Hello all, I am pretty new to all this rooted phone stuff. I have a question for thought I would like to know if it's possible to have a work-around or sorts for being able to use a wifi signal for data, while on the line mind you, to hotspot my laptop. So is it possible to use wifi along with my hotspot? I just want to know if so I will get to work figuring it out right away? Thank you all for your time, effort and consideration in this matter.
You cannot use wifi and hotspot at the same time on any phone. The hotspot uses the wifi radio to transmit a wifi signal for other devices to connect to, it cannot go both ways.
under mobile hotspot there are 2 options:
1. the usual 'share your LTE etc' data
2. WIFI Sharing.
Q: is wifi sharing: Wifi in / wifi out? for example to use on a flight when you have paid for wifi? I have been dreaming of this for years
anyone?
Yes that's exactly what it is, used it on my s7 in a hotel and gave wifi to everyone.
