[Q] WiFi Hotspot when connected via WiFi

So after finding a cheap(er) was of getting mobile internet whilst I am roaming in Europe this summer, my plan is to use my Desire as a mobile hot spot and connect other phones and laptops via it as needed.
I have tested this and it works fine.
But I also have an iPass client installed on my phone which is great for hotel wifi etc but I was wondering if there was any way to make the phone act as a wifi hotspot even when it is using wifi itself to connect to the internet?
Thanks
Dun think so. Possibly there is an app on the market that does it. I do know that wifi will get disabled when u activate hotspot though. Tried routing my wifi through my phone. Doesn't work

No. The hardware is either doing one thing or the other...can't do both. Unless you can find a phone with more than one Wifi chip in it.

[Q] EVO Ad-Hoc detection

i have been doing some searching within in the forums and on google with no avail... My Evo (along with many others from what i researched) has the inability to see adhoc networks even though it can "see" the network with the the wifi analyzer app. i thought it was an android thing but my friend was able to connect to my adhoc network with his DX. is there a workout around that maybe i am overlooking so my phone can see and connect to an ad-hoc network? i am running ava-froyoZ1
Does anyone have the same problem?

Is your wifi buggy? I don't have any problems connecting to any network, unless its open but is password protected.
I am assuming not... I can connect to every WiFi network except for an ad-hoc. My phone WiFi settings won't even see the ad-hoc network. When I use the WiFi analyzer though it can be seen.

Had the same problem here on stock, I think CM does address this, but I already switched to a real router before I upgraded
I don't think the person that responded knows what an ad hoc network is
True Indeed

Pandora outside US

I have the apk, still doesn't work. Is there anyway I can make the app think this phone is in the states?
btw if it matters I'm Canadian.
Use a VPN. Maybe Market enabler might work aswell.
I've never used it so I don't know though
That wouldn't work. Pandora itself checks to make sure you are in the right place, so I don't think market enabler would work.
Also, asking someone to thank you is douchey.

A VPN or some other kind of proxy to the United States would be the only way.
I'm in Canada and can confirm you that Pandora will work if you connect via VPN or proxy... Same thing for Netflix, hulu, mog etc

I use a PPTP VPN service from http://www.strongvpn.com when I am out of the US. It's stable and I can stream Pandora for hours but on occasion I need to reset the connection.

I'm also using strong VPN! Yes the connection is real stable, what I did is I bought their router... now when I connect to the strong vpn router I'm virtually in the us, if I use my regular router I'm here in Canada like I suppose too.

Hey big samm,
I didn't buy their router but actually configured their OpenVPN Lite service on my dd-wrt flashed router. I use the PPTP service on my mobile devices. Don't want to sound like an advert but once you sign up for OpenVPN you can get the PPTP service for just $2 per month. PPTP is flawed with insecurities but serves my temporary needs when on the road...

VPN only need at app start
Also, once you open up Pandora and wait for a couple of seconds you can disconnect from VPN - it only checks for country when it first loads and when you use the the thumbs up and down or try to tweak your stations. Skip works however. I have been trying to find a PPTP app (VPNRoot doesn't work for me: MS-CHAP authentication request denied error) that I can automate to connect to VPN prior to Pandora that works on ICS+. Apparently TOR does this, I just don't want something running all the time using up battery.

Sorry if this is a stupid assumption or question, if you can get the apk file for pandora is it not possible to edit/modify the apk not to send ip information? Rather than having to install another app to block the ip like VPN?

How do i get my phone to show on its own hotspot network?

I just bought a chromecast and I'm trying to figure out if I can get my GNexus to host the hotspot and be the chromecast remote.
In more detail:
I do not have internet from a cable/satellite company. The only internet connection I have is through my cellphone hotspot.
Chromecast will be connected to the internet through my cellphone hotspot (SSID: AndroidAP).
When my cellphone has the hotspot running it does not show up on its own network (AndroidAP).
I need the phone to show up on the network (AndroidAP) so that I can see the chromcast and use the phone as a remote.
Is this even possible?
Try Foxfi?

Honestly don't think this is possible.
It would be like trying to connect the phone to it's own Wi-Fi hotspot that it created?

Not working with Chromecast

I finally got my Chromecast the other day, and I tried to set it up with my new HTC One. After entering in the wifi password, the screen would eventually read, Chromecast connected to wifi but could not connect to the internet. I am at a University, so I thought that this was the problem, since my school doesn't allow wireless printers. But two of my friends got theirs working on the school wifi by using our school's website to register their Chromecasts MAC address.
I then tried setting up the Chromecast with my Nexus 10, and it worked! The problem is that my HTC One can't find my Chromecast on the network. I feel like the problem has to be with my phone. Any ideas?
My Chromecast works flawlessly with my One. Are you sure both the dongle and your phone are on the same network? Can you cast to it from PC via chrome browser?
