Hello ,
it is impossible to have an ethernet and wifi connection at the same time ?
Is there a program to manage this problem ?
Thank you
You won't be able to utilize both connections. The device will likely just choose ethernet if it's plugged in and has connectivity. If it it doesn't, it will probably switch to WiFi, but it won't be any faster, or be able to somehow load balance between both connections.

Please excuse me if this is a stupid question
I have an Ameo , and I also have use of a UMPC - which has Wi-fi , but no BT
Would it be theoretically possible to create an adhoc network between the two devices (wi-fi) , and thereby share the Ameo's HSDPA connection ?
I realise that simply connecting them by USB cable will let me do the same thing, but I really could do without having the two physically connected
If the above won't work I'll have to get a dongle for the UMPC I think !

I'm not sure about WiFi but I can tell you something use a USB cable, the one you use for ActiveSync. What I found this summer when using my X7500 as HDSPA modem for my PC was that using USB with the internet sharing connection was far more stable and fast than using BT wireless connection.
Now related to WiFi, just a theory. I don't think that you can with the provided software. What Internet Sharing program does are two things as far as I understand. First launch a connection to the HDSPA system and "listen" the PC either on BT or in USB. Second manage to do some sort of routing between the WAN network (HDSPA) and the "local" network (BT or USB). But I place local between quotes because I'm not meaning LAN which is real LOCAL Area Network, that could work in WiFi. I mean "local" in terms of near to the PC or something like that.
So... perhaps you will be able to connect the Athena and the UMPC using a peer-to-peer WiFi connection which looks possible to me. And for sure you will be able to generate a HDSPA connection to the WAN. But you need a program to route the data from the HDSPA to the WiFi in the Athena in order to get communication in the UMPC using the Athena as router which is the function I mention as second function of the Internet Sharing program.
OK all this is in theory off-course.
Anyway I can tell you that phisical connection using USB for Internet Sharing is solid as a rock and works great for hours.

Not sure how USB 3G dongles work or are setup, so I was wondering if it's possible to get one & be able to use my phone's existing 3G contract through one of them.
At the moment I have to plug my phone into my laptop & use internet connection sharing, but would rather be able to use a usb dongle for the simplicity.
From what i understand, 3G USB dongles connect directly to your network and therefore supply direct communication between your laptop and the network.
There is no need then to connect the dongle to your mobile and hence use the mobile to connect to the network.
I am not aware that they have any method of connecting to another, 3rd party network connection.
The simplicity is, that the dongle is plugged in, connects to the network and then you can surf. The downside i suppose is that you need another contract of some kind.
If you must use your mobiles connection, why not try bluetooth, i guess would be neater than cables.
Well I wondered if the usb dongles are using similar settings to what contract mobile phone does. And if so is it possible to use your mobile phone's sim in them to make them work?
I tried the bluetooth & it didn't seem to work, but then if it did, it would be draining my battery on my phone even faster.
Hi, I got a laptop without a wireless card for internet connection. So I've been using my HD2 as a USB wireless device, which gives me internet everywhere. THat very nice, and it works extremely well, however I got a question. WHen at home and at work I would like to connect to the wireless router, and not to my mobile internet, is that possible?
Because even tho i connect without problem to my own router at home, I cant really make my HD2 use that for my computer. Is it even possible?
nope... and that is the whole purpose of a wireless card, to pick up wifi signals from a router
It is possible.
Use ICS Control:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377047
Setup should be as follows:
public interface: BCMSDDHD1
private interface: RNDISFN1
Connect your HD2 to WiFi network, click "Start ICS" and plug the cable in to your PC. Should work If you have XP, you should kill Active Sync process first.
Thank you, however I'm not sure that I do everything correctly.
There's quite a lot of settings in that pieve of software, is all I have to edit really the public and private interface drop down boxes? Nothing else?
And when connection to wifi, shall i then just minimize ICS controls, go to phone settings and connect to wifi there?
Thank you
What you want is for your phone to connect to the internet through wireless connection, not your phone's data/internet connection?
If so, then it's definitely possible. Not only at home and work, but also at many wifi spots throughout the world. How you go about it depends on some things.
Does your home and/or work wireless router connect straight to the internet (such as a connection from the wireless router to a cable modem, etc.) ? If so, you only need to know how to connect with the wireless router and your phone should default to that connection for internet when your phone's wifi is turned on. You can always turn data connection off when you turn wifi on to make sure it goes through wifi.
If your wireless router does not connect directly to the internet but one of the computers on the router's network does, then you'll have to use Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on that internet enabled computer as posted about above.
I want my phone connected to the wifi router, simple yes. However, then I want my phone to share the internet from the router, with a computer connected to the phone via usb cable.
So my phone will actually work as a wireless usb device, connecting to a wifi router.
WMWiFi Router provides following options on the phone:
1)3G converting to WiFi
2)3G converting to USB
3)3G converting to BlueTooth
4)WiFi converting to USB
5)USB converting to WiFi
So I have WiFi setup at work and it seems to be working, albeit slow but working.
When I plug the phone into the laptop via USB to charge the phone, the wireless connection is no longer available.(START>SETTINGS>CONNECTIONS>WIFI)
However when I unplug the X2 from the micro USB, the icon comes back and I have a wireless connection.
Is there a setting that I need to adjust for USB connection?
Another question:
Before i connect to WiFi I see the E at the top right of the phone. When I connect to WiFi the E is replaced by the WiFi icon. So I am assuming that my E (EDGE) connection is NOT being used at all when WiFi is on?
In other words, when I am using WiFi, is the internet service from my cellular provider, T-Mobil, completely disconnected? And then when I disconnect from WiFi does the phone internet service go back on to T-Mobil?
Thanks,

For WIfi + USB, i will test it for you tonight at home,
As for Edge and Wifi, yes, when you are connected to wifi, your cellular data connection is not used anymore for internet connection (and actually why do you need it?) However if you connect your phone via USB and allow to use the internet connection from it, your data connection from your Cellular still active. It allows to differentiate the 2 active sync connections, as each connection has its own properties for which items to be synced. so i wonder why Wifi and USB is not...
So now I have had the device for over a week and find that after a while, 2-4 hrs or longer, the WiFi just does not work. I go to settings>connections> WiFi and I am told to enable WiFi on my device. Then there is a list of about 10 different connections to choose from.
The only way to connect to my WiFi is to turn off the phone and back on (waiting at least 2 min) for the phone to load up.
Any suggestions?
So, I recently got a camera that connects to my phone via WiFi to use as viewer. When connected to the WiFi camera, I can't surf the internet. I figured when the phone didn't detect internet connection through the WiFi it would use the mobile/LTE connection for internet. This seems to not be the case. Does anybody know of a way to force using the mobile/LTE connection while the phone thinks it's connected to a WiFi network? Thanks in advance.
Put the wireless camera on a network and get remote access to it or use download booster which should work as a back up internet
Thanks for the suggestion. I can’t put the cam on the network, it doesn’t have an interface. All settings need to be adjusted through the phone. It’s a Xiaomi MiSphere.
Download booster, on the other hand, is worth looking into. I took a hiatus from Android for a while, just got back into it with the GS8 so relearning things.
If I understand your question correctly, the phone connects directly to the camera via WiFi. So as far as the phone can tell, the camera is a router with no internet connection.
I have the same problem.. I need to connect to my car via WiFi without internet connection, but I want to stay online via mobile network. It has worked well on my previous OnePlus 3 with the stock rom, but SGS8+ doesn't support this feature. I have tried to turn on "Keep Mobile data turned on" option in "Developer options", but it isn't helpful. The Mobile Data is on while connected to the WiFi, but the Internet connection doesn't work via Mobile network. Google Chrome and all other apps say, I am offline without the Internet.
Any solution?
