Some apps won't download when connected to home wifi - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

My galaxy s3 connects just fine to my home wifi, I'm able to browse the Internet and market place. The only problem I'm running into is that some apps won't download unless in disconnect from wifi. The majority of the apps will download will connected to the wifi, but only a few won't download for some reason unless I switch back over to cell data. Has anyone ran into this problem and able to fix it?

[Q] How to allow mobile data when connected to no-internet wifi network?

Hello.
At work we have wifi network that has no interent, I use that network to transfer files from phone to computer, however whenever I connect to that network my phone looses interent connection too, because wifi become the only active network.
Is there a way allow 3g/4g network while connected to wifi?
Thank you.
P.S.
Using rooted stock rom.
Nope. One or the other

Sorry, but I can't believe that.
On Windows, for example, you can specify order, priority, of the adapters at which system will use to connect to the interent. It has to be something similar in Linux/Android...

Tethering working on AT&T LT28a

Last night I updated my Tablet S to release 5 and saw that it came with a new app Xperia Link. This app allows the tablet to link to certain Xperia phones and use the phones connection. I first tried to download from Play Store and got the message that I couldn't download from either my area or provider. Did a bit of searching and found the apk in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895345
I installed the apk and it installed a new Wi-Fi Hotspot. This hotspot works through bluetooth so I paired my phone to my Win 7 computer and then from the bluetooth device screen selected the Connect Using -> Access Point.
Works great with one exception. I can't use my corp VPN desktop software seems ports are blocked. Will try phone VPN setup next. With the 4G connection the download speed is faster than my TW home connection.
are you on international ics? i tried installing and running and it said device unsupported for tethering?
It didn't work for me either, I am using the AT&T stock rom rooted.

You could be using an APN that uses a proxy. Check if your carrier has an "internet" or non WAP APN you can use.
Thanks
The APN I am using has no proxy configured.

Found the root cause of this problem
Hi Guys
i found the cause of this problem and it is very strange, maybe a bug in the firmware.
So whenever i am connected to Wifi (typically at home) google now connects perfectly, and whenever i am driving in my car (connected to 3G) it does not connect at all
it hit me yesterday that whenever i am in the car, the phone connects to the car audio system via bluetooth, so to experiment i switched off bluetooth and google now worked perfectly with 3G connection. I connected the phone to bluetooth again and google now stopped working. So i experimented further and modified bluetooth settings to enable only bluetooth phone audio and disable bluetooth media so google now worked, i re-enabled bluetooth media and google now stopped working
so the problem was bluetooth media connection with the car audio system. Apparently when it is connected, google now tries to route data through it instead of my 3G APN
Does anyone have a solution to this problem ?
i'm having the same problem with google+, wifi it updates, 3G it doesn't.
You may be surprised, but still the same problem in 2015. Fly IQ4405 quad. Thanks in advance for any help!

Use S3's wifi for my laptop?

I was wondering if there was anyway I could use the S3s wifi connection for a laptop. Not tethering using 3g
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Do you mean like this:
Wifi Hotspot > S3 > Laptop
?
If you do, you could use CWM tether (its usb tethering) or Wifi tether for root users (works if your phone is connected to Wifi but some people have had issues with that, I have not)
Kinda like ad-hoc but having it emit from the phone

Let me see....
You have someone Wi-Fi key stored in your phone, and want to share it to your laptop?
Try with Bluetooth, or in Play "Wi-Fi key recovery"
Also you can clone your phone mac address.

Tethering is using 3G. There's no other way to share data. Are you rooted?
Yeah...what he said...because if its wifi to phone to laptop then you might as well connect to the wifi directly right? Idk, I still dont really understand what you're trying to do
One of my laptops doesn't have a 5Ghz network card and since my phone can connect to that band, I was wondering if there was an ad-hoc like thing for android.

I'm still not understanding what you want to do. Why don't you just connect to the network from your laptop and leave the phone out of the process?
This phone can not emit WiFi and use WiFi at the same time. Does that answer your question?
Alright it answers my question
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Ahh ok, I've done that before on an OG evo AND evo shift, so it is possible...now whether it would work on this phone, I' don't know, some people have had issues but look around and try all the apps you can find to see if they will do the trick
I used wifi tether for root users v2.2/v2.1 (can't remember which one it was) and it worked flawlessly, just a lot of battery drain but thats to be expected
You can use your WiFi and tether at the same time?
I can USB Tether WiFi (like a network adapter), but I've never been able to tether my WiFi connection.
I'm currently having issue with my Wifi Tethering with the TrevEMod. it keeps saying "What the hell...." i've searched thru the forums and tried all the fixes and it still disconnects. Any word on this?
WifiTether_TrevE Mod 11_22_2012

Is there a way to either share my Wi-Fi or use phone as a network card?

I can log into Wi-Fi with my phone but not my computer so can I share phones ability to get on Wi-Fi with computer? Or just use phone to connect use its IP and stuff. Compute is messed up I need download huge file to fix issues need Get on internet
