[Q] Portable wifi hotspot Error - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello
I can't get wifi tethering to work. After setting up SSID and password (WPA2 PSK), then turning on Portable Wifi Hotspot, it says Error. In status bar there remains the notifications hotspot as active but still cannot be detected by other devices. USB Tethering works fine tho.
I tried adding "dun" (without quotes) to APN type.
Using X-Gamer+LuPuS GBv2. Thank you!

Does normal WiFi work? Did you flash WiFi modules?

portable wifi hostspot

Having problems with my turning my phone into wifi hotspot (have uk orange htc desire hd chocolate). Turn on the portable wifi hostspot ok, my laptop and my archos 70i tab can both find and connect to it ok, BUT it dont work - on the laptop it just says local connection only - on the archos just wont connect to internet. most frustrating. also some problems with the data connection - phone shows the h or g icon and the arrows, but not connection when try browser etc usually works after a restart, but who wants to have to restart the phone every time you wanna use the data connection?
Any thoughts/suggestions?
Same hotspot problem
I ran into the same problem yesterday. I was testing if the wifi hotspot functionality worked, to use my phone for wifi tethering. As soon as I turn on the function, my data connection (3G) is disabled.
Doe anybody know how to keep the data connection after activating the wifi hotspot function?
Thanx in advance!

Is anyone able to get android-wifi-tether to work on LG2?

I just rooted (teamepic cwm+root.zip) and installed the android wifi tether. Wifi tether is not working. I went to the QBKing thread in development, and see that others are having similar wifi tether problems. Does anyone have wifi tether working on an LG2 release? I am considering flashing back to a stock LF9 if sprint managed to bork the wifi tether with their latest release.
TIA.
works for me
No problems for me on LG2. What exactly is the problem?

After my laptop connects to the tether, I can't actually get out to the internet. It's like the NAT is not working. checking the IP stack on my laptop, I am getting the right ip address, gatway, etc assigned. Wifi tether shows the laptop connected. But I can't do anything.
I followed the QBKING video step by step (except using a different password for encryption). I have the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (LTE/CDMA) profile selected. I've tried some others in desperation, but none are working.
I think I'll try uninstall/reinstall of wifi tether, or maybe just use foxfi now that i am rooted.
go to settings of the wifi tether app if you havent already and set it to enable the security settings so that youll need a password on any device you enable to use your phones internet signal and that should work because i was having that problem with the wifi tether app on my evo 3d and when i enabled security protection that allowed additional devices to connect to the internet. on my galaxy s3 i havent had any problems like that cause i intiially started with this method and ive been up and running just fine and im in houston so it seems the 4g lte is up and running here cause my phone shows 4g at the top for signal and my pages load up on the phones web searches faster than when its connected to my uverse wireless modem. hope this helps you man.

Ok if you didn't already, try gnex gsm instead. Also does the tether app show any numbers moving or do they stay at 0.0. Make sure your version of the tether app is up to date as well. And disable wake lock is unchecked in settings
I had the same issues as the op. With wireless tether change profile to galaxy nexus gsm not cdma and you must use access control. Then you should PROFIT......

Are you using the "WiFi for Rooted Users" app? If so be sure to change your Device-Profile.
Open App>Settings>Change Device-Profile> Select Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE)

If your using wireless tether go to profile change to galaxy nexus gsm then enable access control and routing fix checked then you should be good.

Has anyone had a chance to try this? Did it fix the intermittent connection problems? I am going to try it later, because wifi tether is still not working for me (LG8) using Galaxy Nexus CDMA/LTE and with the access control disabled. I am just curious to see if anyone has this working as using the GSM profile is counter-intuitive for Sprint.

I tried it and the wifi tether still doesn't work. Half the time I start it, it requests Superuser and "starts" but there is no SSID being broadcast and I don't think the wifi radio is actually turned on. Every once in a while, it will broadcast the SSID, and I can connect but the up/down data stay at 0.00kb. Other times, I can connect, and I see the up/down data slowly incrementing, but I can't actually get out to the internet (or FTP, or telnet or....).
I guess I'm just fooked until foxfi or android wifi tether for root actually release a specifically-supported SGS3 version of their apps.
My issues were i could see the ap but not fully connect or allow internet access. Make sure your using access control it will not work with out it. Also make sure you have routing fix checked and use auto not ad hoc.

I'll give that a try, thanks.
*edit* I'm starting to wonder if this is an LTE-related thing. After a bit of testing, it seems like the tether works ok if I am on a 3G connection, but when I'm on LTE is when it won't work.

Wifi calling disable with tasker

Hi,
Is there a way I can disable wifi app with tasker? I have it set where once wifi is connected it turns off data and exit task turns on data.
Thanks if u can help me

I'm not sure if I fully understand what are you trying to achieve.
Do you want to modify your task to automatically enable wifi calling when wifi is connected and disable it when wifi disconnects?
If so, it's redundant, because wifi calling already does that for you, once you enable it in the settings.
Also, again, if I understood you correctly, the whole task seems redundant. Data will disconnect automatically when wifi connects, and vice versa.
Hope this helps.

[Q] Devices don't see Wifi Tether Rotuer Hotspot after Lollipop update

Hi There
First post!
I have a Note 3 on T-mobile.
So I had rooted kitkat using this method: http://www.galaxynote3update.com/root-tmobile-galaxy-note-3-sm-n900t-no-knox-counter-trip/ and had been using Wifi Tether router to have unlimited tethering while i'm at work.
I used this method to get to the new lollipop when it became available for my phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...icial-lollipop-n900tuvufob5-t-mobile-t3046295
and now Wifi Tether Router runs, enables the hotspot, but none of my devices can see the hotspot. I've tried the SQL thing, and someone suggested trying to set the encryption to Open instead of WPA2, but that doesn't work either.
anyone else having this issue or have a fix?

Hey, i managed to get it working by changing the SSID. For some reason keeping the SSID i used before the Lollipop update wouldn't let it be seen.
Pls am having the same problem... How did u resolve yours Mr gohanrocs12.. How did u change ur ssid?
Ssid is the name that identifies your wifi network, like Netgear 77, or Lynksys. It's typically the name your network wifi router comes with when you take it out of the box and set it up.
You access it with a computer based settings program that comes with the router allowing you to change settings on your router. .

Try Google and youtube, you will find a bunch of stuff on it. Use your brand of WiFi router in search to get more specific answers.
