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?
Any possible solution for this issue?

I have had intermittant problems with tethering my laptop via an 8525 since the release of the att2.15 rom. sometimes it would work correctly, sometimes intermittantly, sometimes not at all. After trying numerous combinations of proxies on and off, and various connection settings, I have finaly isolated what i believe to be the problem. When my wifi adaptor is turned on, IE on the laptop appears to prefer to connect to the internet via wifi instead of the usb connection to my hermes device. I do not have an internet connection on the wifi router/hub at my home. Is there a simple explanation for this that one of you network gurus could educate me with? Does anyone else experience this?
There is no broadband access at my residence (rural area) other than satellite or cellular. The wireless router is functioning only as a network for several computers and printers at my home. It is a hassle to lose my tethering connection every time i need to access wifi to print, or get data from another machine.
Any info would be appreciated.
I attached poll because i wondered how often people are using this functionality.
mthomas,
I just flashed up to the 2.15 ROM last night. Internet Sharing would never stay running on my laptop. I had my wireless card active on the laptop as well. It worked fine before I updated the ROM.
Edit:
I turned off my wifi card and still have the problem. After a few minutes of internet sharing, my laptop cannot recognize the the phone.
I used to have an internet connection through the usb cable, and now I don't after making an unknown change. I can connect to wifi, but wanted to still have usb internet connections as some hotels I stay in do not have wifi. I've been messing around with the setting>connections, but no luck. I am also wondering if any of you Cingular customers have been able to connect with Edge even though you have the WIX blocked for the number. Mines connected and I was wondering if I will be charged.
Not sure how it will be called in an english ROM since I am running O2 GERMANY but you should be able to get this activated under START -> PROGRAMS ... look for an icon what indicates something like INTERNET SHARING. Click on that icon and activate Internet via USB again.
INTERNET SHARING, i just found that today now i am using my desktop thru the 8525.
Actually I am trying to go the other way. I would like the internet from the laptop.
when connected to activesync you automaticly have the laptops network on your pda unless you turned it off
All I get is "Cannot connect with current connection settings." I've tried all the different setting and still can't get an internet connection. Funny thing is that the HTC Home weather updates while connected, but not the internet. The wifi has no problems, but again a hotel might not have wifi.
Hi
I have the same problem, IE will not find any web site either via usb or wifi (ok via 3G) HTC home weather works fine. I then installed Mozilla minimo and I can surf with out problams. I think there must a be a hidden IE setting/registry problem that I don't know how to access
Hi,
I*m running PACrom/stock kernel and I'm trying to make the following work to no avail yet:
I want to share the Internet connection I get on my N7 WiFi wirelessly from the router to my desktop PC via WiFi, Bluetooth or USB.
Although there are lots and lots of different apps regarding tethering/connection sharing on the Playstore, none has worked for me yet.
I tried FoxFi, Wireless Tether and so on, but nothing works. Either the app complains about the N7 being in an "unknown mode" and therefore refuses to work, or I can establish a connection between the device and my PC, but it stops at some poin, not getting an IP adress or similar issues.
Searching for solutions online mostly brings up this issue in regards to an Internet connection established via mobile 3/4G data, which doesn't help me at all.
Basically, my question is whether there's a solution which lets my share my Wi-Fi Internet connection on my Nexus 7 to my desktop PC, I don't care if its via WiFi ( would be my preference, but I don't even know if its possible to create a HotSpot on the N7 my desktop can access while still being connected to the other, Internet providing WiFi connection) Bluetooth or USB, whatever works is fine by me.
Would love to get some helpful advice/successful storys from you guys
Have you tried Proxoid? It's http only, basically a port 80 proxy that passes the http traffic over the phone's data connection via USB cable... I've used it on my Galaxy S3, but haven't tried to use it through the Nexus 7's wifi...

Samsung allows a phone to use it's mobile network to connect to the internet while it is also connected to a non-internet wifi connection. That doesn't seem to work with my OP 8 Pro. I contacted their support and they told me to try Dev Options and turn on Mobile Data Always Active and Aggressive Handoff.
I turned on Mobile Data, but the other setting does not exist (I've got 11.0.5.5). Replies to their support have gone unanswered.
When I connect to a local WiFi device (without internet) the phone will popup a notification informing me that it does not have internet connectivity and allow me to choose if I want to stay connected or not. If I say no, it drops the connection. If I say yes, I stay connected to the local WiFi, but cannot access the internet (mobile data is on and has signal).
I'm not sure why this is so hard.
Has anyone figured a way around this there are lots of times when it's necessary to be connected to both especially with devices like marine navigation systems.
