Hi all,
I have an unlimited mobile internet data plan for my mobile phone. I am at vodafone.
So in order to use mobile phone internet on my android tablet, i turn on mobile portable hotspot, and succesfully connect my laptop to it through wifi. And voila, the laptop gets internet from my mobile phone ... so good so far ...
But when i run internet explorer at tablet (any site i tried), 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 vodafone customer support and they couldnt help at all. (I believe they have locked somehow internet sharing from the mobile phone through wifi)
After that i tried and succesfully rooted my phone, but the problem is still here..
i don't know what to do next
I bielieve switching to custom rom will solve the problem but yet i hesitate because i read that there are lot of bugs at other roms
Any ideas??
plz help!!

Hi new to the forums but have found them incredibly useful so far. Noticed a couple of weeks back an issue with my WiFi hotspot app where when it is turned on (with mobile data already enabled and working) it claims there is no network availability on the app and my laptop is unable to access the internet through it despite being connected wirelessly.
Strangely enough I can still access mobile data through the internet app whilst its running. I found I could solve this by turning mobile data on and off whilst the wifi hotspot is active and then disconnect/reconnect my laptop and it will work perfectly fine. The app will say connected to mobile internet. Intruigingly if I turn the mobile data off in settings and turn wifi hotspot on, I can access the internet on the phone but it will initially come up with the "connection failed" pop up and then continue to load the page, despite not apparently being connected.
It's no deal breaker but not sure if anyone has experienced this issue yet, anyone found a fix?
I got same problem dunno realy what is problem was working good then it just startet turning off my mobile network any fix for this ?
I had the same problem. Im using an app called 'Wifi Tether' and it works fine and its alot quicker, your phone needs to be rooted though.

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?

Hello,
I want to ask something about my new Z1 Compact.
Pretty impressive out of the box, but then i found some problems...
Notice : i've upgrade to 4.4.2 with wi-fi right after i bought it.
the problem is :
1. i can't connect properly to google play
2. i can't connect to social media apps (path, twitter, facebook, etc) via mobile network (wi fi is ok)
3. i can't connect to internet with google chrome (pretty sad that's the only way to surf the web since no android browser)
what bothering me is, if i'm using it as USB Tether with my laptop, everything's goes find, i can surf with ease.
Is it the phone ?
If it is, what's causing it ? (hardware or software)
oh yeah, i've tried to repair it via PC Companion software from my office's PC.
Please share with me if anyone have the same problem
Thank you

I have some issues with internet over 2g network.. Sometimes downloads get stucked and I have to reconnect net connection though my net connection was ok and i was able to browse.. With this same sim card i have tested on my samsung device and in samsung it was ok.. So I think there is something wrong though my problem is different than you..

Hi There,
I've found the solution for my problem, at last !
Maybe you can do it too on your device.
The problem is with the APN, my provider instructed to use just the APN name and let all the rest blank.
And the default setting on the device, everything filled up (proxy, dns, username, etc).
I just enter the right apn and let anything else blank, Voila, the connection speeds up again.
I hope you find your solution soon, mate.
Cheers
