Hopefully Motorola will add to the Atrix the ability to configure a system-wide proxy settings that they added on Gingerbread update for the Droid X.
I work in the basement of a nearly century old building with only passive mobile antennas which works ok for voice but data is a little spotty. I'd rather be on wifi anyway for the battery savings.

Have new AT&T Pure w/modified back cover for 2600 mah battery.......1100 mah standard. Loaded HTC Wifi Router (XDA, Tom Codon), 10 digit key doesn't seem to work. Have Globalinx's new CU-3000 vidoephone, with built-in wifi, which 'sees' XDA-Sharing wifi signal, but doesn't connect to it. (Lights do not change.) Cannot used Pure as hotspot. What do I change in CU-3000 config? Pure? I'm a lost newby. HELP!!

The Pure used as a wifi router needs to be accessed in "ad hoc" mode rather than "access point" mode. Are you sure the CU-3000 supports this? I had a quick google but couldn't find out...
Ad-hoc hotspots and Globalinx CU-3000
Thanks, Pete_S; this videophone is very new to the world. Not much info out there, yet. I'll do some detective work and find out if it can connect ad-hoc. I surely hope so, as the 7" screen with wifi beats my AT&T Pure by a big margin. Love them both, though.
Any other info/input from anyone else?
my wifi router works just fine on my phone. used it like 2 days ago with my buddies iphone{cause some apps can only be downloaded through wifi} the videophone prolly doesnt work cause the pure has no forward facing camera.
leemoss84 you misunderstood my problem. I'm not trying to use my Pure as a Videophone......I'm trying to connect my Globalinx Videophone (portable) to my Pure over wifi. The Videophone only accesses the 'net over wifi or broadband ethernet. I want to be able to use real time video and audio telephone calling anywhere I have AT&T 3G signal. Thanks for input, anyway. You didn't have to take the time, but you did.
Pet_S you were 'on target!' My Globalinx CU-3000 doesn't function in ad-hoc mode. See my post to leemoss84. Now, who has an app that converts 3G data to wifi? Everything I've ever seen is ad-hoc. Atheros has chips that work with drastically reduced battery drain, but I'm not a manufacturer! The world needs a stand-alone app for infastructure mode. Any ideas?

Here's the situation; I have a Droid 2, on PagePlus, which I enjoy using on wifi when available (at home basically), and the GPS, since PP doesn't give much data. I also have an EnV2, which has verizon service, and I can use for tethering via USB/Bluetooth on PC.
My question to you: Is there a way to tether the Droid to the EnV2 (They've been paired, but Droid only shows 'unpair' option). and use the 3G connection on the EnV2 to give internet (like wifi, not phone capabilities) to the Droid.
I've notice the lack-luster bluetooth capabilities of the droid (unless they be hidden away from me, my precious...)
Basically I want Droid > EnV2 > 3G (via #777 DUN or WAP proxy, whichever way) all via bluetooth. It'd be so much easier if the EnV2 had wifi, but alas, it doesn't.
Serious answers please, this is mainly for times I don't have my laptop (I can EnV2 > ICS Wifi when I have my laptop), just when I have both phones on me and no wifi source for the Droid, wouldn't be much of an issue if the EnV2 actually had a REAL browser with HTML capabilities...
Just for information; the Droid has been rooted.
Hi, I am on speakout 711 canada with the unlimited "browsing" option that can be tweeked.
The phone works pretty good just with the apn settings from Speakout wireless on the handset, you can only use port 80 I am pretty sure as this is not a full data plan.
In GB on a dersire without rooting or anything like that (no autoproxy app) I could use the wifi hotspot feature with my laptop as long as my browser was using the corrent proxy settings.
Now it isn't working on the N4, but on the other hand lots of apps are working just with the proxy settings for speakout, but I would like to tether now and then to my mac, and it isn't working.
I am just learning but maybe someone out there can help me figure this out, I am having to swap the sim back into my old blackberry to use bluetooth tether, it works but I would rather just stick to the nexus and leave the blackberry for an emerg phone LOL
Thanks for your help everyone
So I use BT Infinity at home which gives me access to BT WiFi when i'm out and about which is great, saves me data on my phone plan, but the annoying thing is that my neighbour, and one of my partner's neighbours both have BT Home Hubs which provides said BT WiFi, but both mine and my partner's WiFi is way faster then both the other connections but my phone keeps preferring to connect to BT WiFi instead of our own networks, is there any fool proof way to prioritise which WiFi network the phone will choose, I.E if i can put mine and my partner's connections at the top of the list, and make sure BT WiFi is lower down that if either of the two I want can be found then it won't connect to BT WiFi?

Thanks in advance
There's no built in function of Android but you can use third party apps such as this one.

I've tried that one, maybe i'm not setting it up properly but hasn't solved the problem, really wish android would implement a feature built in that just says if X saved network is available ignore Y network
I didn't use the app recently but you can set up priorities for networks based on their SSD and you just need to put the most preferred one on top. In the settings you can determine at which signal quality the network should be changed and the interval for checking. If you like you can post screens to see...
So Xfinity is transitioning all of their public hotspots to 5ghz frequency wifi.. the motive behind this is pretty obvious (they want to keep low end and older model phones off their public network..with them now functioning as a wireless provider, people using out of service and/or low end phones as "wifi phones" cuts into their business.)
Obviously this doesn't really effect users that have active data plans or users that have a relatively new and/or high end phone, but for the other 80% of us this essentially makes a great deal of our "technological arsenal", which could be used as wifi repeaters, music players, security cameras, and so much more, essentially obsolete.
So to circumvent this all you really need is one phone that is 5ghz frequency capable (most newer phones, most Motorolas and Samsungs and pretty much every not super crappy LG phone can do so.) You also need an app called "netshare" (if your 5ghz compatible phone is rooted then I'd recommend "netshare+" as it allows one to reshare the wifi without any proxy forwarding assuming you have active Xfinity credentials), and your also need psiphon pro on all the phones receiving the wifi signal (unless your 5ghz phone is rooted, using netshare+, and is signed into Xfinity hotspots with a valid Xfinity account.). If you won't be using anything but chrome itself then you can get by without psiphon.. but generally speaking most people will use messenger and YouTube and whatever else so, if/when you establish a connection on your receiving devices go ahead and download psiphon.
Once you're connected with an LG or Samsung sometimes depending on model you can simply set your hotspot to reshare the wifi connection (and of course set the band to 2.4ghz), but not every model supports this. (If yours does, congratulations. You're finished), however if it won't allow you to use your hotspot without a sim card or whatever, simply open netshare. Go-to configure name/password or something of the sort. Some models will allow you to change the frequency to 2.4ghz here. If it doesn't (Motorola devices generally don't) simply open wifi direct in advanced options in wifi and connect your 5ghz phone to a receiving 2.4ghz.. just long enough to open netshare and share your wifi signal(this will force it to 2.4ghz, rather than the 5ghz default it would be if not already connected with a 2.4ghz). Once netshare is on and sharing your wifi connection go back to wifi direct settings and end the connection with the 2.4ghz device.. then reconnect as you would any other wifi network

RanDOM8S
etc..
But be sure to go-to advanced options, proxy settings, change to Manuel.
Proxy hostname "192.168.49.1"
Proxy port "8282"
All without the quotes obviously.
Now you should be able to browse on chrome. If you haven't already, download psiphon pro, and go-to options Proxy settings. Connect through http proxy. Host address "192.168.49.1"
Port "8282".
Then connect. Your receiving devices should now be connected (through your 5ghz phone of course, using it as a hub), and most of your apps working as long as psiphon is on and connected properly.
(This is my first tutorial so please go easy on me. Obviously constructive critique bus appreciated, but please go easy on me fellows.. I'm a bit of a newbie..lol)
And I plan on adding pictures and revising later on depending on wording and whatnot.. but I wanted to at least release a preliminary method of connecting to the newer 5ghz hotspots.. because about a month ago I know I could've used it.. even if it wasn't refined.. anyways thanks for reading, and good luck compadres!!
A very useful and understandable tutorial, this is exactly what I was looking for, because I have a rather old phone model.
Thanks for the useful tutorial! The fastest speeds from Xfinity are available to almost all customers, as opposed to just customers within reach of a 5G tower.
