Hi all,
I have an unlimited mobile internet data plan for my mobile phone. I am at vodafone.
So in order to use mobile phones internet on my android tablet,
i turn on my wildfires mobile portable hotspot, and succesfully connect my laptop to it through wifi. So the laptop gets internet from my mobile phone ...
But when i run internet explorer at tablet (any site), it keeps redirecting me to vodafone's prepaid mobile internet card site!!
I can't browse at all.
I test the same thing with an xperia ray (android v4) with the same carrier and worked just fine.
i talked to vadafone customer support and they couldnt help at all. (I believe that option is locked somehow by vodafone )
After that i succesfully rooted my phone, but the problem is still here..
i don't know what to do next.
I dont want to switch to custom rom yet because i read that there are lot of bugs.
Any ideas??
plz help!!

Hi everyone:
I am new to android. Can anyone tell me if I can use/root my desire as a WiFi router so that I can use my 3G connection to beam out WiFi connection from my phone and browse net on my other devices. (Somewhat like that in HTC HD2, where can can convert the phone into WiFi router.)
This is very important for me as it will help me decide whether to buy desire or HD2. I am really reluctant in buying any windows mobile device and wanna get android.
Please help me on this.
Have a nice day!!
Wireless Tether for Root Users does this. You need root, we are very close to rooting.
There is also a wired option built in.
That'll be great. Yes I know that i'll have to root my device. I just wanted to confirm if this is possible after rooting. So it is. right?
The problem with wired rooting is that u'll always need to have your computer or laptop with you. But generally i want to share m connection with other mobiles when i don't have my laptop around. anyways thanks for the reply. Hope to see the root soon
cheers
Yeah "Wireless Tether for Root Users" is an awesome free app, you can set access control if you want (you must confirm someone is allowed to use the wifi) and you can configure a wep key. It's simple to use and does its job.
can anyone on 3UK check if wifi tether for root users works fine on 3uk network?
I know it works no problems on my TMobile.
Desire HD Wifi Router
This app is great, i try used in my mobile and talk about it.

And also i dont know how to make a wifi hotspot in my laptop..I have tried one method lyk (in xp network connection>wireless network connectio>properties>wireless network tab>add new wifi network> ok) but still the wireless network connection is not coonected..and i also dont know how to connect my wildfire hotspot to my new wifi hotspot in pc..\
In every android phone there is a Wifi Hotspot app...is dis the app which can help me??
Google for an app called "Connectify". That should work. I don't know how far it supports Windows XP (The page says it does support XP, but for Ad Hoc mode only), but I guess it shouldn't hurt to give it a try.

Hi there. Have got this issue with sharing internet on my Note 2 when I switch on the WiFi hotspot. I can switch on the Hotspot, and I can get other devices (phones, my laptop) to connect to it as well. But none of the devices can access the internet.
I have been using my other phone, an HTC Incredible S, without any issues. But the same does not seem to work with my Note 2. It worked fine when I used it a few weeks ago, though. And I don't remember making any changes. It is stock, and I have added an extra SD card which is about the only new thing in the phone.
EDIT: Ok, here is an update: Bluetooth tethering does not work either. However, I have noticed that I can share the internet if it is not 3G. I don't seem to have any problems sharing a net connection I get from another wifi source.. Makes sense?
Thanks folks!
Hi , i have the same problem
i want to connect my Note II to my laptop so i can use the internet connection of my laptop
i get the internet by a dongle (truemove 3G+ Thailand 15kb/sec ! )
i can acces my laptop, however i can only do this with a static ip adress.
i use the program " virtual router " wich works fine
but after th econnection has been made i still cannot acces the internet
as far as i know i opened everything in my system that i can think of to make it possible for my Note to acces the internet
it still not work
after this i tried the progran Pdanet.
same story , connection with the laptop but no internet
i am starting to believe that maybe my windows7 is blocking somewhere ?
btw. firewall is offline , no virus program installed
Help ??? kind regards J Pompe Kohn Buri , Thailand.

Hello there!
I think you have a different issue here In fact, quite the opposite! I was unable to share my 3G connection with bluetooth/wifi tethering options. I did a factory reset, and it is all fine now.
About the problem you are facing: Did you try this on a different computer?

[Edit: I have no idea how this second post got created. Sorry! ]
Have looked for help everywhere but this exact issue seems to be undiscussed.
I am using the s4mini in the UK on 3. I have an unlimited tethering plan which the carrier support desk think is working just fine.
My devices can all connect to the hotspot or USB tether and windows even says it has internet access. However, no data is downloaded and 'page cannot be displayed' or time out messages come up in the browser.
Can't upload screenshot of phone info as laptop has no connection.
Any help please?
Is this in the correct forum?
