Can you make calls while tethered on the Fascinate?
Wired? Wi-Fi?
When I get calls while tethering wirelessly it drops the connection.

CDMA cannot do simultaneous voice and data therefore if you get a call while tethered your data connection will be suspended.

oh... so it lets the call come through. That's not that bad. I was worried you just wouldn't get calls whilst tethered.

So the if the phone connects over wifi it drops the data connection that might've been present on your phone network connection. Is it possible to configure your phone to maintain both wifi and 3G/HSDPA connections at the same time?
I require this because my operator provided (H3G UK network) Skype application only runs on 3G and I have to keep turning off wifi for it to work.
Funny, I find this feature great!! With my WM phones I never knew if it was using wifi or my data connection....even if you can do this how do you make one app use one connection over the other?

Good q, i'd also like to know if it's possible...

You can try droid wall, and configure it to block wifi for skype, it may solve your issue.

Hmm, doesn't sound like that will work, because the phone has already dropped the phone network data connection as soon as I get back home onto my home wifi network (due to prioritisation?) I want the phone to maintain both so I can receive incoming Skype calls at home with fiddling with my phone. I understand why the phone does it and it is sensible for it to do so in most cases, but just not for my usage requirements!
Is it a software/hardware limitation that wifi and phone network data connections can't be open at the same time?
Install Nimbuzz. It supports Skype without that bulls**t restriction. It doesn't support group chats though.

if WiFi is on, and 3G is on
the phone automatically uses WiFi first

I lose the "H" or "3G" notifier when the phone connects to wifi, that's why it looks like it's purposesly dropping the data connection once it picks up my wifi, I can't see a way to maintain both simultaneously.
I'm using "Skype for 3" provided by my network, it has special integration on the 3 network which allows me unlimited Skype usage (inbound and outbound) without it eating into my data plan. So with this benefit I don't really want to use an alternative app.
I want to keep Skype running all the time so I can receive calls on it, but once I get home, the wifi kills the "H"/"3G" connection, which means my Skype can't receive calls.
the icon isn't there but i think the data (H / 3G) is still running in the background, incase your Wifi fails.
wifi is the... PREFERRED network?
have you tried getting your friend to call you via skype while you're on wifi?
If I connect my Nexus 7 to my HTC One X by Bluetooth for data tethering and Tablet Talk, and then enter an area with Wifi and the Nexus connects to it, will it then put the Wifi connection at a higher priority than the Bluetooth connection? I'd obviously rather it use when available.
Why don't you try it and see what the result is?
I have tried it but it's hard to tell which connection it's actually using since both are available to it.

Try monitor the data usage on your phone then while connected to both and see if the phone's data is being used. I would think WIFI wins.
Turn wifi off on your HTC X, so that its sharing its data connection over the BT tether. Check IP before and after entering wifi area. Tada!
Email the tablet talk developers, they're really quick and friendly.

Sorry in advance if the answer is obvious but I want to use my galaxy s4 as a "relay" if you will for a Wifi connection. Is it possible to share the connection and use my device as an access point of sorts? To be clear, I don't want to tether my mobile connection because there doesn't seem to be a good way to do this without AT&T harassing me about it since they have once before, otherwise I would just tether.
I am rooted running clean ROM 1.0

If you don't want to tether then I don't understand. If you are using a wifi connection and want to share - just have other devices connect directly. Why do you want to use your phone as a wifi bridge?

My wireless signal has a very difficult time reaching my PC. I can understand why people would think my request is futile but I've noticed that proximity of the router to my laptop greatly impacts my latency. So I was wondering if it's possible to use it as a relay of sorts :-/
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
I don't think the phone can use the radio to receive and broadcast wifi at the same time.
I would consider moving my router.

I have wifi calling disabled but whenever I dial or receive a call while connected to wifi, there is no sound and hd voice is active. only fix is to disconnect from wifi for calling. and I can't find a way to disable hd voice which is my suspect cause

I think I notice the same problem now. Will double check..
Wondering if there is a way to disable cellular radio on the s7e, without using airplane mode? I'm going on a cruise tomorrow, and would like to use wifi sharing on my phone. If I enable airplane mode I cannot enable wifi sharing which is basiclly mobile hotspot but for wifi. I don't want my phone roaming, and receiving texts, or calls if my phone gets disconnected from wifi without me knowing. I know I can disconnect mobile data, but would like to just disable the cellular radio without root.
With all the drinking that will be going on I just don't want a surprise bill next month.

Go into connections, under data, disable cellular data.
I disable it when I don't use it a lot so i get the $10 monthly credit for using less than 2Gb on my unlimited plan since I use mostly wifi
I know about data, issue is that Cruise ships charge you a high amount for receiving text messages, or callls. So with data disabled you sit can get charged for texts, or phone calls that goto voicemail.
Anyways I figured it out, just put your phone into airplane mode, and use a app called Pdanet, and enable hotspot within the app.
