[Q] Hotspot - max. number of connections - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
how many simultaneous connections are possible when using the mobile-hotspot-feature in the phone?
I can't find anything in the settings....
Thanks for your help.

at Google support they say: 8 simultaneous connections
But it can be more or less when u dont use the standard app i think

I mostly think only 5 possible connection can be made.

My friend sets his up in the bar regularly as towards the back you get no internet connection so they just bunny his phone, but I think he gets a good 6+ without an issue. He has a Samsung gs2 and a HTC titan though.

its a question that i have been waiting for.
seems like any push data is affected because the app shuts down data to save battery.
I know you can set it so it switches on for a 1min every 15mins but if you have GTalk or constant emails being pushed, it means you wont get them until the app switches the data back on to reteive the emails/messages.
this is my understanding on how this app works.
if there is a program that auto switches ur phone to 2G when idle or screen is off, then i think this is a better solution.
This one does turn on when your screen does lol..
But earlier it stopped my data working even with screen on, i had to go into settings and disable then re enable and it worked! maybe it was cus i was at work and it tried to connect when i had no signal.. i dunno
Re: juicedefender
it's a known problem and the developer is working on a fix. I won't be using it until it is

Is it? Whats the fix? Just turning it off and back on? Because disabling JD didnt work..

This happened to me yesterday as well. Only way I could get mobile internet back again was to reboot
Hi,
I installed JuiceDefender two days ago. Since then, I have had wifi problems. I can't be 100% sure that they are caused by JD, but I had no wifi problems before that, using several different networks.
My phone is SE Xperia X10, but I understand that the app works the same way on both phones.
The problem is:
When wifi is enabled, it takes several seconds to enter the "wireless networks" menu in settings. It then takes 20 seconds entering the "wireless settings" menu. During this period, the screen goes black. Sometimes, I get a message that the wifi app has crashed. Also: When I connect to a network, it works fine for 1-5 minutes, but after a while the phone does not seem to receive any data, even though it says "connected". The same wifi network works perfectly on my computer.
I have tried rebooting the phone, uninstalling/reinstalling JuiceDefender, etc.
Has anyone experienced anything similar to this? Any hints on how to solve the problem?
Re: juicedefender
happened again today with mobile data at work, it turned it self off. does the developer know about the bug?

Re: juicedefender
yeah he does. A beta was released which was slightly better but not perfect. Guess it's just a case of waiting

Re: juicedefender
I think I might just keep charging mine but leave juice installed because I like the push notifications so ill disable juice for now!

Juicedefender is not in market anymore.
I bought this a few days ago and it has been working great but i was just prompted to update to the latest beta and nows things are not running too good.....may need to disable for a while.
uninstalled mine. just cause i wasnt getting good internet at work. seems better now. still a good app in theory. better than anything winmo had to offer.
Ive left it on but dont use it anymore.. Battery seems to have improved anyway
Re: juicedefender
the developer has released a beta to try and fix the issues. looks like the different carriers are causing problems with resuming the apn connection
Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
Gotta say, seems to be working without an issue on my phone
One thing i would like to know tho is that i can see the settings to change the rules for activation of wifi and apn but i would like to set these to 1m every 30mins rather than 15mins, is this possible ?
I only seem to change it to 2m for every half hour...seems to defeat the pont in changing it...What have i missed ?
It's absolutely helped my battery life. I think it's just about doubled it overall. I haven't bought the full version yet but I do intend to. Not because I want the extra features, but to support the work done on the free version - superb!

Any love on the question of better wifi management?
sent from a phone using an app
I've looked into this. The answer is no. The reason why is most devices including laptops are set for us consumers to get the furtherest range on wifi ap's. Now laptops atleast have an option in the connection properties of your ap called roaming its default option hangs on to wifi as long as possible then there is aggressive which will change the ap its connected very fast but I have not seen any app that will let you make a "wifi roaming" setting change. I believe its kernel level with our device.

Multitasking and wifi policy drive me crazy!

Any tips/tricks/tweaks (for stock OneX with Tegra3) more than much appreciated... Even just toggling to homescreen to check something closes the app, when you come back it restarts, if it is a web session (does not matter whatever browser it is) and you were logged in somewhere, you have to log on again, needless to say you loose your stuff data/text you left there before switching.
Although i like OneX too much, i am seriously thinking about leaving htc for ever due to that and also because of the Wi-fi policy issue in my beloved OneX, it is also similar. After screen off then on, you find wi-fi went sleep and trying to reconnect, if you are/were sharing media streaming through dlna, it stops as soon as wifi goes sleep. Also the remote apps are becoming useless due to same as you need to re-establish connection each time you wake your phone.
The only manufacturer/device in Android world which deserves to go after OneX is SONY imho, especially the latest Z is seemed a super phone.

You can get WiFi to connect by either switching off the option in power saving mode, or in advanced WiFi settings.

U cant do that in stock ROM.atleast in non rooted devices.If u root and install a custom ROM then its possible.U can adjust the way multitasking is done in some ROM.ViperX JB is released so do give it a thought.Its the best ROM out there.

WIFI tethering

So wondering, if I'm tethering a tablet with same room as the phone 4.2.2 can AT&T tell I'm tethering? Wouldn't it look to them like I'm using my phone to brows etc....?

android tethering isn't set up to route data through an alternate APN (like iPhones) when the phone is in tethering mode – meaning AT&T would actually have to scan packets to determine whether or not you’re tethering. i dont know if they're taking the time/money to do that. i wouldnt do anything beyond some web browsing and email (like music/video streaming). you should be all set, regardless of whether or not your tablet and phones use the same rom.

Cool, thanks....how do they catch other people though? I've seen posts where people are saying they got a note from them..
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda premium
It really depends. Someone here said they got a notice for connecting to their car via Bluetooth, but from what I've seen, the majority of people who get caught are using larger than average amounts of data via tether.
Some have said they got caught by just doing basic tasks, but I have been tethering for a year or two with my iPhone and now my gs3, and have never gotten a notice. Even played Xbox live a few times through my iPhone

i and many other people, i believe, would like to get to the bottom of exactly HOW they catch you , i use to have a few iphones , i would tether one iphone without a sim to the other iphone and surf , i got text messages all the time saying they were gonna remove my unlimited,
if only i knew more ...
