Connection Problem?

Hi guys i just want to ask if i have to setup GMAIL, FACEBOOK, TAPATALK and TWIDROID for me to use it when i'm using 3G as my connection?...these apps are ok with wifi, but when i use 3G they always say that i don't have an internet connection or something like that, i can see the UP arrow on the 3G indicator(Upper left on screen) but the DOWN arrow isn't doing anything..
oh BTW i can still browse online using my 3G connection...

anybody?.....

still nothing?

Are you using a rooted Rogers x10a?

nope debranded X10i

Maybe you don't have the right apn settings.
Turn your wifi on, Go to settings, wireless controls, mobile networks then hit auto internet settings and hopefully it should get the settings for you!
hope it helps!!

I personally haven't had any issues and I'm on TMo UK. Have you tried enabling it both ways? From the wireless settings in the settings menu and from the app in the app drawer?

When I connect, it takes about 5 to 8 minutes until I can get access. Try leaving it connected for a while.

on tmobile uk too and no issues here. start the hotspot, search on the laptop for the wifi name and enter code.
Maybe post the steps you have done so far so people can try and see whats wrong?

Select Hotspot app
Inputed router name and security code WPA(TKIP) 9 letters
Selected checkbox 'Portable Wi-fi Hotspot'
Searched on laptop for router and inputed WPA
Laptop connected
Started internet app like firefox
On phone in the notification area the hotspot '3G' text (not the symbol) keeps dropping after a few mins and reappears

Ok sorted I think there was a problem with the apn I removed user and password entries and all sorted.

[Q] pda net

Installed PDA net to try and tether via Bluetooth. Did not work. Uninstalled PDA net and now my Market says it can't connect to the network

If you used the pdanet tablet edition open the app and clear the proxy. If you did not, u will not see the web.

Use Android device as wi-fi hotspot to share PC internet connection.

Hi I have a PC connect via ethernet to the internet, I would like to connect my phone to the computer so I can broadcast my computers internet connection to my iPad for example. Don't want to use mobile data tethering thanks. I can use either a HTC Hero or Samsung GS2. Is this possible at all? any apps that will let me do this?

I'm not sure if it forces mobile data when hotspot is enabled.
If not, I'd connect the phone to the PC using internet pass through with mobile data disabled and hot spot enabled. I'm unsure if it will use your PC's internet when broadcasting though

Its not the greatest help though, but that open garden app still does something I guess

You want your computer to be a Wi-Fi router? Try Connectify. You will need a Wi-Fi card to make it work.

I'm also looking for the same kind of thing...but couldnt find any..
The series is like Computer(with internet) >> Phone(Getting internet via "Internet Pass Through") >> Broadcasting that internet using WifiHotspot
Is that possible?

If your computer has a Wi-Fi card/builtin, you can use something like Connectify to turn your computer into a hotspot.

When you say wifi card thats the same thing as a wireless card?If yes then I can use my laptop as a hotspot?how do I do that exactly. Thanks

Like a PCI card or it's built into all laptops built in the last ten years.

If I had a wireless card..I wouldnt even bother about getting a phone with "Internet Pass Through"
What I am asking is "A Desktop without a wifi card but has a wired internet connection needs to provide internet to a laptop"
What are we having with us? - A Phone with "Internet Pass Through" enabled
A Desktop (With no WIFI card)
A Laptop (With a WIFI card ofcourse)

Laptop would work. It has built-in Wi-Fi and probably a 10/100[/1000] ethernet port.

You still don't understand mate...
What I meant to say is
PC is WIRED with broadband connection...It is passed to the phone using Internet Pass Through...
Now THE GOLDEN QUESTION IS HOW TO BROADCAST THIS INTERNET(that is present in the phone through IPT) USING ANY HOTSPOT APP!
?

follow this reverse tethering guide (i've tested this one and it's working):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371345
and when it's done... try and activate the wifi hotpot feature of your android phone.

Oh gotcha. Sounds like you got an answer above but if that doesn't work, hook your phone up to the laptop and use an app like Connectify on that laptop. Sorry I didn't understand.

[Q] Unable to tether/hotspot using nexus 4

Hi there,
I have a data plan of 500MB with Rogers Canada (on which tethering is not enabled). When I setup my phone as a wifi hotspot (or USB tether), a computer connects to the phone but there is no internet connection. Is this because tethering is not enabled on my sim card? If yes, how can the provider enforce it and is there a workaround for it?
Thanks for your time.

It's most likely your plan that does not offer tethering.

I am on AT&T, have no problem tethering on a stock job 4.2.2 ROM.
What happens when you enable hotspot on your phone?
Also, have you tried other WiFi tethering apps like foxfi?

The connection between the phone and the computer is established but there is no internet connection.
Foxfi doesn't support nexus 4. It force closes when I enable its wifi tethering.
