[Q] tethering on Three uk

Has anyone got tethering working on Three UK? Been looking for some info for some time now but it seems ppl just get some sort of errors.

I've been searching for the same answer. I setup the tethering on my Omina 7 but can't connect as I don't have the three dial up number which all the guides seem to require.

Yea,,,, the same:'(

And you have tryed used the software that comes with 3? I have used my own operator here in Sweden and that works.

hey guys, came across your thread, 3 does not support tethering on their network as they are waiting for the offical windows software to come out to do it, which i am annoyed about as i got this phone on the basis it can tether. however if you still want the number it is *99# to dial to and u do not require a username or password (worked on my blackberry 9700), I am currently downloading the verizon vzaccess software as this supposidly allows the omnia to tether so I shall see what that comes back with

Still not able to connect using this... Anybody had better luck?

do you want to use usb-tethering or internet sharing (hotspot)?

This is for USB tethering.
Internet Sharing works perfectly, thankfully!

Wi-Fi direct doesn't work with all devices

Some people have tested gs2 wifi direct with other wifi device without success.
It work only with other wifi direct certified device.
From the reference web site: "... Wi-Fi Direct-certified devices can form connections with nearly all the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED devices you and your friends already have..."
http://www.wi-fi.org/Wi-Fi_Direct.php
Why Samsung Wifi Direct is it limited?
sorry for my english

Same problem here, no way to make it work.
Not even one guru knows where is the problem? In the samsung's software or in the description of the wifi-direct site?
Tnx.

C'mon guys ..

Where are the settings for wifi direct

i'd really like to know how to use wifi direct too. the only hint at what to do is in a android forums post where they talk about kies air, but as far as i understand, and in practice on my device, kies air requires you to be connected to the same wifi network - i.e. it works like dlna, not wifi direct. when i go to wifi direct settings and try to scan, it never finds anything.
trying to connect to a network from the pc end using the details under "configure wifi direct" doesn't do anything ether.
please, if anybody has it working, let us know how you did it!

thankyou, but it doesn't work like that for me. the phone example was two wifi direct devices connecting (which i don't have) and the pc was ether wifi direct certified too or im doing something wrong. is there a special server client or something to install to enable wifi direct on a laptop? as i said, i have tried entering the same network details as are shown in the wifi direct settings manually, and tried waiting for ages since the guy in the video says it takes a while, but no luck so far.

Hey guys... The wifi-direct certifier said, that they got a galaxy s II with a fully working wifi direct. They cant explain why samsung limited this feature...
Samsung didnt make a statement yet.
I hope i can add the source tomorrow (read in on a popular online magazine)
Edit: Source
I guess you can translate it via google translate. Going to bed now

thanks a lot for this article
also Lg Black has problems with wifi direct

[Q] Able to connect to many different WiFi Networks except school ones

Hello all.
I can connect my Nexus 10 to my home wifi (password protected), my girlfriend's home wifi (password protected), and the wifi at public places (I've only tried ones without passwords so far). My only problem is when using my University's Wifi. They have one that you use with an account and password, and one that is free (though you need to sign in using an email via a website. Kinda like hotels).
This is surprising to me because I have a Galaxy Nexus running the same OS (4.2.1) and it can connect just fine. When my N10 tries to connect, it says "connecting" for a second or two, and then it just says "Saved" but never "connected" and it never shows a wifi connected symbol at the top right.
I have read multiple posts about wifi problems from 4.2 but couldn't find any specifically buggy wifi problems like this. Have any of you heard of this or a solution to it? Any help would be appreciated!

Have you tried a reboot? Also check to see if your frequency band is set to auto under advanced wifi settings.
Gotta love university security and logins... they can't leave stuff simple

Oh yes. I have rebooted many times and tried using auto, as well as both frequency bands separately.

Hmmm...are you on stock?

Yes I am. Stock on both my Gnex and N10.

I wonder if using a third party wireless manager would help. Search the PlayStore and try one or two. Before you do that, go into your normal WiFi settings and click "forget this network" on the university one.

Hi there,
I work at a University in the midlands and had the same/similar problem. It's to do with certificate revocation in Jellybean (and also the latest ios my colleague tells me). For example on my Nexus 10 I was able to see the network and obtain an ip address but the webpage where you login wouldn't redirect or load. I don't know what Uni you go to but we are advising people to give the IT dept a call and give them your mac address and they can create a fixed profile.
Hope this helps

I'll definitely try the third party app. As for telling the n10 to forget the WiFi, I tried that many times too
Well that's why I mentioned my gnexus because they're the same android versions so if it works on one it should on the N10. I actually work for tech support at my university and my boss couldn't figure it out or suggest a process like you described. Thanks, though!

Oh yeah you did mention your Galaxy Nexus, my bad! let us know how you get on with the third party app. You could try giving your N10 a static or reserved IP if you have access, as a workaround!

Hey guys,
I'm from France and had such trouble with my Motorola Milestone and my HTC HD2 (and friends too with Samsung Galaxy S2 and Sony Ericsson Xperia Active) with my school's network. If it's an Eduroam network, try Eduroam Fixer from PlayStore, it helped all of us except one Samsung Galaxy S2. Give it a try

I wish I could use that app, but it says I can't use it in my country (USA)

Make sure you have the EAP set correctly and check if you need a phase 2 authentication. For example, here at UofM we use PEAP for eap and mchapv2 for the phase 2. If you don't have details like these, your tablet won't connect even if you have the proper login.
You will find them at the top of the page you use to login to a secure network.
Hope this helps!

Yes, that is exactly how the secure WiFi is set up at my University, too! What should I do in this case?

Edit: Nvm, Just noticed this was already tried
I had a similar issue with my One XL. It was a frequency issue. I switched it from 5ghz to auto and all was good.
Settings/WiFi/advanced/WiFi frequency band/auto.

Okay so I found out that my N10 is able to connect to the exact same WiFi network when in another building. I believe there is just an issue connecting to the specific router used at a computer lab. Will update when/if a resolution arises for that lab.

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?

Can't use cellular data while connect to local only WiFi (GoPro)

Hi, I would like to use my S8 to livestream my gopro (with a self made app based on FFmpeg), for that I need to be connected to the GoPro stream via WiFi and I need to use my cellular data (LTE) to send it to a streaming server.
In my test I noticed this phone is unable to keep both connection open at the same time, it was not the case on my previous LG G4, I was also able to test on a nexus 5X where it worked successfully, so I blame the samsung software (PS: I just did an update, didn't change anything).
I tried every options (and combination possible), keep cell data, agressive wifi/cell, both in dev' settings, also smart wifi (agressive or not) in regular settings... And it didn't change anything (the smart thing only either fully disable the wifi connection to local only wifi or connects fully to it and awaits internet connection).
I found this thread on samsung forum https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...internet-while-connected-to-GoPro/td-p/185875 with no answer...
Do you guys have any solution?
Quick edit: I did try to use "Download booster" thing but it doesn't help, it seems the phone is still using the wifi for DNS, I tried with and without smart switch thing... They really didn't think about people using WiFi without internet connection voluntary??
Thanks

same problem here, i don' t know how to fix it. you can share your code? with other guys we are trying to do a solution to live stream gopro on android , if you want i'll link it to you

It cannot be done as we cannot change our IP, Default Gateway, or Subnet on our WiFi.
With iOS you can, thus why iOS users can use the GoPro and LTE simultaneously.
Enjoy.
