Hello! Just quickly popping in to ask whether or not the unbranded Galaxy Tab has the stock Froyo WIFI hotspot app on it (or if it has a custom app that gives the same capability)? I'm looking at using it as a phone replacement for a X10 with a bluetooth headset, and one of the primary things missing from the X10 is the WIFI hotspot capability. I'm not expecting blazing speeds, just the possibility to use the existing data plan on my phone contract for occasional surfing as well.
Thanks on beforehand for the reply!
My unbranded italian tab has wifi thether

X10 runs 1.6, hence no WiFi Hotspot. (They started rolling out a partial 2.1 update a couple of days ago, so you may be able to upgrade, but there's still no wifi tethering in 2.1 unless you use a 3rd party app, which may require a rooted device)
The GT has 2.2, so does have WiFi Hotspot.

Ahem, whoops
Yeah, but from what I've understood some vendors have chosen to disable the wifi hotspot app particularly, hence me asking. Couldn't find anything in the spec that mentioned the wifi hotspot capability.
Thanks for your replies!

Then you root your phone, download wifi thether for root users from the market, and use it anyway

Hey there
I have a nokia e6, and i tethered my connection using joku spot-But the wifi doesn't show up on the nexus 10, my ipod and my laptop are able to detect it.
Please tell me whats wrong?
Sorry for creating threads again and again
I've had this happen on quite a few tethering apps on my Galaxy Prevail and my Nexus 10. I think it has to do with Ad-Hoc vs Infrastructure, with Ad-Hoc networks not being visible (which quite a few tethering apps use). I could be wrong though.
I use joku spot premium
Any one please
Please any one can help me
Bump to top!
I really need it

Just a thought,
Do you have the wifi frequency band set to auto?
I tried everything auto,5 mhz,2.4 mhz none work
Can any one please help me out!
Android doesnt support adhoc networks.

I've been scouring shopping sites and odd forums, and for the life of me it's proving difficult to find a newer-ish (relatively inexpensive) tablet that has 5Ghz support.
So far, the only tablet I've actually come up with is this one (GT-P3113), but I've been unable to find if anyone can confirm the 5Ghz radio working. I saw one forum thread that mentioned issues with higher 5Ghz channels, and it's got me worried. Has anyone had any experience on this? Stock ROM? CM?
Thanks in advance.
B G N only no 5ghz
Are you certain? Quite a few places (and forums) suggest that model has a 5Ghz radio
To list a couple..

I will say this; I have that tab P3113 and a 5ghz network. My tablet does not see the 5ghz ap, just the 2.4ghz one.

Are you running stock ROM?? From what I've read the 5ghz radio can be enabled with root, but I'm curious to see if it works in CM or not.

From what I've read 5Ghz wasn't enabled from ICS on. Something to do with the availability of 5Ghz in Europe. I've seen several guides on how to enable it on ICS at least, but I can't test it since I don't have a 5Ghz router. Here are the two guides I've seen on it. I'm almost sure you'd have to be rooted to do either.

I'd probably go for CM10(.1) straight away, which is why I wondered on if it's enabled in there. Luckily for me, CM is opensource so I can just go look and see if it's enabled in those files lol.
Thanks for the help, much appreciated.
I have the p3113 as u can tell. Rooted also and my 5ghz is working fine

awesome! Did you have to do anything post-root to get it working? IE did you switch from stock rom, or did you need to modify any wifi-config files?
I thought I read the kindle foire hd supports 5 ghz but only when 2.4 was not present is it possible t huh is is the same issue?

Yes ,lucky its open source except for the proprietary bits that you need from hardware vendors like the wifi and GPU drivers and several others , just like the open source Samsung stock ROMs.

Neither of these work to enable 5 GHz on my GT-P5113.
unrevoked, If you have it working on your 3113, what did you have to change to enable 5 GHz?

I believe you are right in that the Kindle Fire HD has a 5GHz radio, but I'm looking for a more pure Android experience, google play and what not. I know there are methods to getting Play Store on the Fire HD, but more specifically I'm looking to go CM with the tablet, and I'd rather run the Samsung for that if it has a working 5GHz radio.
Question
Nevermind. My noobness is showing

hey guys,
i have been baffled by this too when my gt-p6800 upgraded to jb, it lost the capability to access my 5GHz-N wifi. i tried going back to ics and i had access back to the 5GHz wifi. however, ics have had its problems (wifi disconnects when the tab goes to sleep) and eventually i went back to the jb: no 5GHz wifi but wifi is stable and doesn't disconnect.
earlier today, a friend of mine with p3100 on jb visited me at home. his tablet wasn't able to detect my 5GHz wifi too.
interestingly, my very old p1000 on gb can still access the 5GHz wifi.
is it now safe to say that tablets with jb have problems detecting and accessing the 5GHz network?
regards to all!
Hi All,
I have install Kitkat4.4.4 recently. Everything is working great.
But only the Hotspot & Tethering not working.
On the phone I enable hotspot & tethering and the Icon came on but other device can't see or detect the hotspot.
Samsung Galaxy Note GT N7000.
Anyone please help.
Thanks

I had this issue with a wifi usb dongle & I had to go into the profile and manually add the device to have it be seen. But I couldn't get it to connect to that pc for some reason.
Its worked so far on the other 3 tablets I tested it on though. Are you using a cheap/ebay usb dongle by chance like I did and it wouldnt work?

Thanks for the confirmation here... I can't find my Micro-SIM adapters anywhere so I haven't been able to test anything that requires a SIM in my N7000 lately.
(The 4210 family is probably going to be getting dropped with L due to lack of maintainers.)

Like having a new phone, all the Note5 features with an edge screen. Running smoother than ever, even the screen somehow looks brighter... I really don't want to upgrade now, unless Samsung really create something to tempt me.
Are the camera functions and all notifications back on the Edge Screen?

I have a question. By any chance do you have your WiFi network set up to use two SSIDs (one for the 2.4Ghz channel and one for the 5Ghz)? If so, are you able to see and connect to the 5Ghz channel? I'm not able to with the new update. It was working fine on 5.1.1, though.
How do we know it's connected to either 2.4ghz or 5ghz? I know old android phones let you choose which but I'm not sure how to do your test on the note edge.

I have an external SD card installed. I read that someone else was asked upon initial 6 install you could make it an extension of your internal memory or keep it as external.I was never given this option. I also get a notification upon reboot of a SD card installed and have to swype it away.

Actually I had this problem in 5.1.1 and after upgrading I don't see it anymore. I am not sure why your device is behaving this way. May be you can try a factory reset. One problem I do have is after every restart I am required to enter password as fingerprint process is not initialized. This is annoying at times. Overall experience is smooth otherwise.
And I flashed supersu 2.71. Works fine so far.
