Hey guys. I need ideas on how this would work. I'm staying at a hotel this weekend with wifi where you need to accept the terms of use before you can actually access the internet. I have stayed here before and tried using Xbox live through the wifi. It does not work because I must accept these terms. Would I be able to connect to the wifi through my phone,accept the terms of use, and then direct the wifi through my phone to the Xbox? Tether is a no go because the area has horrible coverage. Any ideas would be awesome. Thanks!

Cant you just use the XBOX browser to accept the terms and conditions and then use the wifi from your XBOX directly?
Xbox does not allow you to browse the web like the ps3 does. But thanks for the suggestion!

With a laptop you could join the wireless network then right click the network adaptor and share it with the ethernet card. From then on, ethernet from the laptop to the xbox.
You shouldn't need a cross over cable as almost all network cards are smart enough to figure things out themselves these days.

Seems easy enough. Thanks I'll try that.

That'd be the best bet here. Don't think the phone can help much in this situation.

Searched and couldn't find anything.
Is there a hack in existence? Is it even possible?
Would be nice!
if you consider using an airrave to connect to sprint TV, then it's kiind of like wifi, because it's coming from your broadband connection, but it's just transmitted via 3g, albeit 6 bars of 3g.

Not all of us can get an Airave 3G, let alone want to drop $100 and $10/month just to use it. So that option is not wanted.
As for the problem... I got nothing. You could try opening up the APK and seeing where in the code the 3G-only part is, then edit it out and repackage the APK, but if you're not a developer, that'll take a good amount of work to get the SDK, Eclipse, certs, etc. all setup.
Whenever I connect my Galaxy Nexus to my or a friend's D-Link router, the signal will slow down immensely (even on wired desktop connections) and eventually kill my internet until I restart the router.
This happen to anyone else? My router is the D-Link DIR-615
Hi. I have a d-link d-615. I don't have this issue you describe and I'm always connected along with my ps3. My problem is data speeds which I can't seem to get anywhere above 7.9 mbps.

Might want to check for a firmware update on the router. Sounds like a broadcast storm.

Your GN and other devices are having connection issues? Sounds like the DIR-615 is the culprit. Hard to tell without knowing what is running in the background.

It's only my Galaxy Nexus having the having/causing the issue. My old Blackberry and my brother's iPhone 3GS can connect to my wireless just fine

Mind telling me which firmware your 615 is running, and also which revision it is?
Mine is Hardware Version B2, Firmware Version 2.25
Hi. I'm on hardware c1 and firmware 3.10na. What d/l speeds do you get?

As fast as my internet connection allows (on both my laptop [wireless] and my desktop [wired])
EDIT: Just looked on D-Link's website, there are no firmware updates available for my router

Does ip5 require a tethering plan with your carrier to be able to do Bluetooth tethering?
Sent from my Nexus 7
I had tethering on my ip5 with my grandfathered unlimited data plan from at&t... Now i have that same grandfathered plan on my galaxy s4 and i tether through wifi all the time, but i can't get it to work through Bluetooth.
I've been trying to BT tether on my S3 and it pairs but it won't stay connected. It just connects for less than a second.

BT tethering sucks up much less battery than wifi tethering? (dont tether much, but this would be useful to know)
Yes, low power bluetooth would waste much less battery to both the tablet and the phone. Also with Bluetooth it wouldn't broadcast a wireless SSID which is better when I'm around other people looking for internet.
Aren't there speed issues with Bluetooth? Anyone know the max speed rate?
Update
Bluetooth is limited to 1.5mbps without the BT3.0 HS speed boost, which... uses BT to just establish an AdHoc WiFi network to do the dirty lifting.
So not sure if using Bluetooth is even lower powered if it activates both radios, unless, of course, you're fine using 1.5mbps.
I'm no expert in the dark arts of Bluetooth spec, but I'm pretty sure how this works and the article I just found kinda confirms that. Doesnt BT4 further the use of WiFi radios for faster speeds? Bluetooth just becomes the authentication method vs a traditional SSID and password. Bluetooth passes the needed info so the other device can find it.
I've been using WiFi tethering on my Nexus Galaxy and N7 with no problem. Range is also better. So I crank up 4G, WiFi tethering, and plug it into a wall.

I have no service where I am at so I was wondering if there is a way I could use my s3 as a wireless bridge. My s3picks up a wireless network, but my tab2 doesn't see the same network.I want to use my tab2 and connect it to the internet through the s3. Any suggestions?
Do you have internet where you live you? If so, you can get the Sprint Airave. I have not service where I live and I have satellite internet (SPRINT SAID IT WOULDN"T WORK. YEAH RIGHT!) and i get full service in my house now. I live int he middle of the woods. Hope this helps.

You can't use the WiFi in the S3 to connect to another network, and work as a hotspot for another device, at the same time. If you can connect to a 3G or 4G network, you can then use the hotspot software to connect another device to your phone's WiFi.

thank you
I work as a Cable/Internet installer. Customers have the choice of opting-out of WiFi to save $5.00 monthly. However, they always want to run a speed test to ensure they are getting the correct speeds. I don't trust any customer's computer or router when testing speeds because they often have faulty equipment, cheap equipment, or laptops that are too slow for me to wait on.
I purchased a cheap USB OTG adapter and a USB Ethernet adapter. I tested this on my Stock T-Mobile Note 8 while in airplane mode and everything works flawlessly. I was able to connect, browse the web, as well as run a speed test using Ookla's app.
When I try the same thing on my Note 4 running the latest final build of PaulPizz's ROM, it does not work.
Question: Are there any kernels available that have this option enabled? Are there any ROMs with this option enabled?
