Using Internet pass-through on my phone, connected to my PC, works fine. But after I've been using it and have disconnected, my phone seems to forget that it can connect to the GSM/3G networks for data, and any attempts to use data fail (with no icons to indicate a data connection). All settings under Wireless & Networks still show it to try to connect for data.
If I reboot the phone, it's fine.

I have the same problem. Anyone has a solution?
I can't seem to make the internet pass through thing work in the first place.
At first win7 kept telling me that drivers were not installed. Later on, after having downloaded and installed everything I could find, it seemed to recognize the phone, but the desire still couldn't connect :|
Yes, I have this problem too. I use the Internet pass-through very often because on our college is wi-fi prohibited. Phone restart helps but I must do this every morning. Similar problem is while disconnecting from wi-fi (out of signal range). Sometimes happens that GSM/WCDMA are not going up.

I have had intermittant problems with tethering my laptop via an 8525 since the release of the att2.15 rom. sometimes it would work correctly, sometimes intermittantly, sometimes not at all. After trying numerous combinations of proxies on and off, and various connection settings, I have finaly isolated what i believe to be the problem. When my wifi adaptor is turned on, IE on the laptop appears to prefer to connect to the internet via wifi instead of the usb connection to my hermes device. I do not have an internet connection on the wifi router/hub at my home. Is there a simple explanation for this that one of you network gurus could educate me with? Does anyone else experience this?
There is no broadband access at my residence (rural area) other than satellite or cellular. The wireless router is functioning only as a network for several computers and printers at my home. It is a hassle to lose my tethering connection every time i need to access wifi to print, or get data from another machine.
Any info would be appreciated.
I attached poll because i wondered how often people are using this functionality.
mthomas,
I just flashed up to the 2.15 ROM last night. Internet Sharing would never stay running on my laptop. I had my wireless card active on the laptop as well. It worked fine before I updated the ROM.
Edit:
I turned off my wifi card and still have the problem. After a few minutes of internet sharing, my laptop cannot recognize the the phone.
After tweaking my new Touch Pro and not getting PDAnet to work, I got wmwifirouter to work great, but now I cannot get out on the 3G network. I have tried IE, Opera, updateing weather and nothing works.
I am using KK rom and had no 3G issues before trying pdanet and wmwifirouter. I dont have Phone as Modem selected either.
Any ideas?
i had the same issue.
sorta.
when i turned on the wifi router, it over-rode the connection settings turning off my data connection. it also confused my usb connection. so every time i connected my device to my pc, it saw it as a network adapter.
all i did was turn off the router completely and restart my data connection manually.
after that, it reset all connections itself.
works fine now.
you may also have to manually disconnect your internet sharing proggie (open the program, select disconnect), as it uses that.
now that i think of it, try that first.
no wifi
after installing wmwifirouter i cannot connect to other wifi signals. The router works great, but when I turn off, my phone does not connect o other wifi signals.
How can i fix this?
Reflashed my Jade from UK Orange to JADEMAN rom recently...
Can anyone tell me how to force the phone to use Wifi to connect to the internet.
It connects via GPRS fine but i want to disable the GPRS DATA for travels abroad so I don't run up a huge data bill. I can stop the data with "NoData" app, but if I now try to connect to internet with Opera or Internet explorer if fails..
Is there something I am missing, to tell it either to connect via wifi before using GPRS data or to only connect via wifi. Do I need to create a connection ?
The create new connection page doesn't list using WiFi, bluetooth is the only "WIRELESS" type connection that appears to be offered.
Also when the wireless AP list is shown and I try to connect to an AP showing available that I have previously setup with WEP key etc, it fails to connect.
I am sure to be missing something but I can't spot what the problem is...
Any help appreciated.....

start/settings/wireless controls/menu/connections..
then select..
you can download 'nodata' on here and use it to disable data connection when you are not using it..
I had to disable the proxy server for my 3G service provider and set the Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adaptor to connect to "The Internet". I did the same to my email accounts.
now it switches automaticly if wifi is on and if not it always uses 3G.
It will still connect to 3G when I wake up the phone but that's because some background apllications (like internet time and location) only seem to work over 3G. And probably for a reason.
Just gave it another try. Wifi takes over (and auto-disables) 3G connection fully. Twitter and Weather are updated fine using Wifi.
Just had a read about 'nodata' but that isn`t what i was looking for.
Ideally when in wi-fi range phone should use wi-fi.
when out of wi-fi range data connect connects
when you return to wi-fi it reconnects to wi-fi and drop data
i.e wifi connected = no data connection allowed
no wi-fi connection = data connection allowed
Basically, you need to leave the wifi on all the time for what you're asking, and that will destroy your battery life!
You can set it to not notify you of finding wifi connections in range, but it will constantly be looking for them (see All Settings, Sounds & Notifications). When it finds the one that you have told it it can use (you can only have 1 of them if you do it this way), it will start to use it. Once wifi has connected, your phone simply won't use the data connection.
It's that simple, but I'd highly recommend against it.
it's normal on mobile phones to only turn wifi on when you need it .. all phones with wifi I owned worked that way. And like johncmolyneux already said the reason is battery life and the constant searching for networks would lag your device with other operations.
I don't blame people that they keep confusing this device with a notebook as it almost is one, but then again a notebook only lasts a few hours with wifi on..

I belive this is what I need to do.
I travel between a few sites with wifi, what setting do I actualy need to change? you say "then select" but what? sorry for sounding dense.
or when your phone is in range and connects to wifi, does it automaticly use the wifi not the data conenction?

If you have wifi on, your phone won't use your data connection.
So, I recently got a camera that connects to my phone via WiFi to use as viewer. When connected to the WiFi camera, I can't surf the internet. I figured when the phone didn't detect internet connection through the WiFi it would use the mobile/LTE connection for internet. This seems to not be the case. Does anybody know of a way to force using the mobile/LTE connection while the phone thinks it's connected to a WiFi network? Thanks in advance.
Put the wireless camera on a network and get remote access to it or use download booster which should work as a back up internet
Thanks for the suggestion. I can’t put the cam on the network, it doesn’t have an interface. All settings need to be adjusted through the phone. It’s a Xiaomi MiSphere.
Download booster, on the other hand, is worth looking into. I took a hiatus from Android for a while, just got back into it with the GS8 so relearning things.
If I understand your question correctly, the phone connects directly to the camera via WiFi. So as far as the phone can tell, the camera is a router with no internet connection.
I have the same problem.. I need to connect to my car via WiFi without internet connection, but I want to stay online via mobile network. It has worked well on my previous OnePlus 3 with the stock rom, but SGS8+ doesn't support this feature. I have tried to turn on "Keep Mobile data turned on" option in "Developer options", but it isn't helpful. The Mobile Data is on while connected to the WiFi, but the Internet connection doesn't work via Mobile network. Google Chrome and all other apps say, I am offline without the Internet.
Any solution?
