Hello. Everyone
I'm new to the xda developers and we I was just having having a little problem with my Galaxy s5 rooted on T-Mobile.
It's with the wifi tether router app
I bought it. It works really good on Apple and Android smartphones or tablets without using my tether data.
But every time I connect it to my ps4 or try a computer it uses the tether data Idont know why.
I was wondering if any of you knew anything about it or has having problems like these as well??
When I use Netflix on my ps4 it does. It use tether data it uses it pretty much on every other app or game I play on it? Has this happened to any of you or you are tethering with no problem?? Please write back!!!
Thank you So much!!!
Same exact problem help??? ??

Is anyone successfully using 3g mobile hotspot (hacked) to tether their ps3? Im getting constant 3g drops... i can undestand not being able to game online with this, but even watching netflix or just web browsing is tough. With hotspot not on, my 3g icon never goes away, only when i start using the hotspot. Ive redid the settings through qpst twice so i know theyre right... any suggestions?

Having the same problem trying to share my connection with my 360. I've managed to play cod online without too much too much lag but I do lose connection completely on occasion for no apparent reason. I live less than 2 miles from my tower.

PS3 and Rooted hotspot
You guys are talking about your phone dropping your connection I cant even get mine to connect I use BARNACEL and OPEND GARDEN I even tried using EASY TETHER to my laptop and sharing my wifi with my built in INTEL. How did you guys get connected?
While I haven't done much tethering with the fascinate, I did use the "wifi tether" app on my incredible to share my connection with a PS3 successfully. Also, I seem to remember the built-in tethering working as well (if you're on CM7/MIUI). Actually, I just saw something the other day about needing to do a fix for the stock android tethering to work, so I don't know if that's a good option. Try wifi tether.
Hey guys noob here. Ive used the search option here which is usefull but i havent got a stright answer.. Anyways i have a home network thats wireless and i want to tether my phone to my desktop and use the home wifi not my 3g. But when i try that it just says no data network availible. Its trying to use my 3g. I know someone was trying the same thing but they fixed it themselves and didnt explain how they did it. My phone is a galaxy s i896 the first one so if there is any way to hack to force it to use the home wifi for tethering that would be great. Thank you.
Download an app called PdaNet from Market!
Google might be your friend here if the above solution doesn't resolve your problem. Haven't experience that problem.
yea pda net or easy teather both work good! and simple to install too

FoxFi been good to me as a hotspot when i need one dont know if works well on the s3 since i have the s2
I'll be using FoxFi on my Desire for Bluetooth tethering (instead of WiFi Hotspot to save battery). And then PDANet on the Nexus 7 to pair to the phone's Bluetooth.
I haven't done this yet but this is how I believe it works from what I've read.
bump plz
I used foxfi to do Bluetooth tethering from my Droid Bionic. Required no other apps on my Nexus 7, and seems to work great. I have no clue if Verizon can tell I am doing this. I don't plan on using it much at all though, just occasionally while I travel.

Yeah, just started playing with this yesterday and hit the same wall. Interestingly chrome works great when I have the connection setup this way but nothing else will see the connection, not gmail, now or any other app. To heck with the battery life, I have a monster battery on my Infuse now, tried wifi tether but my Nexus won't even see it. =/ Will keep messing with it though and see if I can come up with anything.
Gmail, Play and a lot of other apps seem to work without any issues through bluetooth tethering.
BBC News app thinks there's no internet connection though, so that's one app I can't use.
Loading web-view of an article in gReader Pro informs me there's no internet connection but loads the web page just fine in dolphin browser after clicking on OK.
The Nexus 7 can be configured to do USB tethering natively
i keep getting force close on foxfi had to uninstall

If you're using the free version it has a time limit of 30 minutes, after which you need to restart it.
Is it possible to have a Local WiFi Hotspot? I have a Galaxy S5 with Verizon. Ever since I upgraded I have been struggling on a 6gb data plan. I own an iPad and an Apple TV and wanted to do wireless airplay for presentations. Of course Apple TV requires a WiFi connection to airplay so I was wondering if there was a way to make a local wifi hotspot on a device without using the internet? It would be like having a wireless router that isn't plugged into a modem. I have never seen this brought up before so I figured I might as well see if it is even possible. What do you guys think?Am I crazy for wanting a local hotspot or does this peak anyone interest to explore?

is it your first time you are trying to tether from this phone?
Additional info
Hi Friends,
i have been using this feature a lot from the moment i got the device without any problem.
i also tried to connect it to other devices the problem is the same, some issue with the DNS address resolving .
do you know a tethering app that doesn't requires a root?
