Morning everyone;
Probably a noob question here, but this is the situation...
I have a S4 (Tmo) with a Canon 6D camera.
Rooted with towel root.
I want to use an app (DSLR, or Canon EOS remote) to connect the phone and camera so I can control the camera with the phone.
The camera generates its own WiFi "network" that the phone can connect to.
Problem is, when I connect, the phone then automatically disconnects because my "internet is unstable".
Is there a way to set up the camera network so that the phone will just connect, and not worry about the quality, or internet connection with the WiFi?
Thanks
Is smart network switch enabled in wifi settings or your phone? If so disable it

Is there a way to use the One X as a router?
One X connected to internet via Internet Pass-Through and the open Hotspot (without 3G connection).
Why I want this?
I have a PC with wired connection and no Wi-Fi (router is dead somehow) and untill I'll have another router I only have one outcoming internet connection and three computers...
two words wifi hotspot ^^
LoL I'm not dumb...
It doesnt work, thats why I have posted that question...
I think there is an option for USB pass through on CM. Not so sure about on a Sense based rom, though?
Just connect USB and where it say charge only or mass storage there's a option for internet pass through you carnt use WiFi and WiFi hotspot at the same time

Again, I'm asking if its possible to use internet pass through and then transmit it via Hotspot.
Yes you can.
With the default Hotspot and HTC's internet pass through?
Tried twice and it didn't work.
Like I said you can do it with USB but not hotspot if you use hotspot it will use 3g and you carnt connect to WiFi using WiFi hotspot but if you connect USB there's a option to use internet pass through wich will allow you to use you phone like a WiFi dongul
Skydragon team
OK I understand that is isn't possible as none of you got the idea of what I'm saying xD
Thanks for the comments and the will to help anyway, guess I should just buy a router...
*Mods you can lock now*
Sorry, I'm mistaken. What DOES work is turning WiFi on the phone, then connecting the phone in Tether mode. Wouldn't really help you though cos it's the opposite of what you need >.<
Hi
If I understand correctly the wifi will only work if the phone is close by
I read elsewhere that other smart watches will connect directly to wifi
even if the phone is not on
can someone please clarify & will this option come with future updates ?
Thanks
The phone needs to be only in a close range if you're connected by Bluetooth. If you're connected to a WiFi network, the phone just needs an internet connection and can be on the other side of the world.

But it doesn't seem to be the case with mine
If I am at home or at work it will connect easily with the Wifi but only if the phone is there
without the phone its saying disconnected , maybe I am missing something
I did a test recently with mine. I left my paired smartphone (Smartphone_A) far out of range of my watch (>100m within a company building). The watch signaled that it is disconnected as it was only connected by Bluetooth before. The smartphone itself was only connected to a 3G network (no WiFi active).
I used a second smartphone (Smartphone_B, obviously not paired with the watch) and activated the mobile hotspot on it. I connected the watch to the mobile hotspot using WiFi and was able to connect to my paired smartphone:
Code:
Watch<---WiFi<--->Smartphone_B<--------->3G mobile data<--------->Smartphone_A
<--------------------receive notifications-------------------------->
I was really surprised that this worked, but it did, so I'm pretty sure, that they do not have to be both connected to the same WiFi or be within a close range.
The question is, why is it not working for you. How do you check, that you are connected to the WiFi?

Strange
with my phone on no problems it shows my house & work network on the watch & connects showing the correct SSID
with phone off I tested it 2 ways 1 clicked on google app (disconnected ) 2 Settings- About -Connection (disconnected )
Brgds
I see the problem, I also may have misunderstood the actual problem.
The status (Google app/about) which you are referring to shows if you're connected to your watch. If your phone is off, the watch can't connect to the phone. Even if the watch is connected to your WiFi, the watch will not go directly to the internet, but will use the WiFi connection to connect to your phone (cloudsync).
You can check the WiFi connection in the WiFi setting. See if the watch was assigned an IP address, if there is one, then you're connected to the WiFi.
I think you expected that the watch can directly connect to the internet and use things like Google now directly. but this is not possible.

Yes
I checked a few things, my phone was on & the google app works, turn phone off & the google app says disconnected
in wifi settings even with phone off it says obtaining IP then connects so I thought it would connect to google app
so if I understand correctly it wont connect directly to internet but the phone (cloudsync) even if the phone is on or off
Thanks for taking the time to clarify

all seems a bit pointless to have a wifi connection but cant really use it do anything
maybe some apps or updates in the future that will utilize the wifi option ??
Thx
I guess wifi is just helpful if you get out of range of the Bluetooth connection.
At home I often get out of range of the Bluetooth connection so the watch connects to my wifi and reconnects to my watch via cloudsync as long as I stay out of Bluetooth range.
When the watch gets back in reach it connects via Bluetooth again, because this is much better for battery life.
So wifi is only there to increase range but unfortunately not for standalone functionality. I also have a Youtube client and a webbrowser on my watch (just for fun, not really useful). Both apps also need the watch and will not use a direct wifi connection to load videos/websites from the Internet.
Hi there!
After spending quite some time trying to understand why my rooted 5.1.1 phone can't connect to my ELM327 Wi-Fi module, I realized it's because of the missing support for ad-hoc mode. I'm only able to see the ELM327 network with a third-party Wi-Fi app.
Most of the related threads on Google are more than 4 years old, so I was unable to find a working solution to my issue.
I tried the wpa_supplicant file supplied on androidtablethacks.com which seemed promising but Wi-Fi was not turning on at all anymore so I reverted.
How do I activate ad-hoc mode on my Xperia? I'm dumbfounded that a basic feature like that is not supported.
I'm willing to install another ROM if needed, if it's stable.
I really don't want to buy a bluetooth adapter, I hate bluetooth!
Could I manually add the ad-hoc network somewhere in my phone's configuration files? I know the name and channel of the network.
I don't need a full ad-hoc capability, I just need to connect to this specific network.
Cheers!
Hello there, I need your help please
I've got recently a Nikon D5600 DSLR camera and I'm trying to connect it to my phone via WiFi, so I setup my camera's Wi-Fi SSID and password, then launch SnapBridge app in camera and my phone to transfer images, but when my phone connect to camera's Wi-Fi, my phone shows a notification message that is connected to camera's Wi-Fi but there's not internet connection and automatically jumps to other Wi-Fi connection stored on my phone giving me no choice to keep connected to camera's Wi-Fi.
So please tell me how may I avoid that my phone override not internet connection Wi-Fi and stay connected to my camera
Thanks in advance
My phone: Moto Z Play
Android ver: Nougat 7.1.1

Hello guys how are you?
Recently I bought a Dasaita PX6 Android 10 for my Toyota CHR. Camera working OK, Sound OK... but I have a problem with WIFI connection.
As soon as setup my phone as hotspot, I search that WIFI on DASAITA. I find it and connect to it but as soon as IP address is raised WIFI turns off automatically.
Here I show you a video of the problem:

Thanks
I had the same issue. I think it has to do with the Zlink app which tries to put the HA in hotspot mode. I managed to switch on wifi after closing the Zlink app manually and disabling the hotspot in the dropdown menu(the icons which appear if you swipe down from the top of the screen). Unfortunately the wifi connection with the hotspot of my iPhone is nog always stable. Sometimes it disconnects after a couple of minutes.

Thanks for your reply.
If you saw the video I linked I have closed all apps and the problem is still there. I don't know what happens

Yes, a saw that, but as far as I can see, you did not disable the hotspot before turning on wifi. I needed to do that as well.

I think as soon as wifi is set to ON, hotspot turns off automatically. It can be shown also on the video.
Actually I use CAR PLAY but I would like to swap between both options with no connection problems :crying:
I thought my suggested method worked, but today it did not work for me either. I agree with you that this is quite annoying. Hopefully someone else can help us out.
i have same issue... looking forward to somebody do a stable update that solve this problem
I have this unit. What works for me is to use usb hookup for CarPlay, then you can use phone hotspot on radios WiFi. You have to turn WiFi on a few times after connecting phone through usb for it to stick. For wireless CarPlay, the radio uses the WiFi resources and turns off selectable WiFi.

the problem for me is that my iphone is not connect well to the bluetooth of the Dasaita, the issue is that i can't answer or make a call through the Dasaita (android)..... When i'm able to connect to BT and the Zlink start then the BT disconnects, when switch shut down Zlink app BT won't connect anymore

I think Syoung (above) is correct.
Obviously you can't run hotspot and wifi at the same time. It's one or the other.
If watch the video closely, the hotspot is off. As soon as wifi is turned on and the phone connects SOMETHING turns the hotspot on (you can see it getting turned on at the 19 second mark in the video), which in turn shuts off the wifi.
Maybe try completely disabling hotspot and see what happens
Well. I tried to connect the iPhone to the car via USB cable to launch CARPLAY. I think my car USB port that actually y also connected to DAISATA doesn’t support CARPLAY. Maybe I need to connect another cable to the back of DASAITA module to make it work.
In addition about the HOTSPOT. The DAISATA HOTSPOT is automatically set to ON to link with iPhone CarPlay.
If I turn it off as soon as my iPhone is near (also set use with CarPlay) hotspot back to ON and CARPLAY IS LINKED AND LAUNCHED.
Do you know if I need to use another cable connected to usb connector located in the back of DAISATA??
Thanks
Hello again. This is what I did and noticed:
- Car usb socket (connected to Daisata) doesn't work with USB CARPLAY.
- I connect the extra usb port to DAISATA.
- CARPLAY via USB working OK on that port.
- If using WIRELESS CARPLAY, Dasaita acts as hotspot creating a WIFI network where iPhone connects automatically.
- Now... I connect the iPhone to the new USB port for CARPLAY ( working ok and connecting faster). I disabled Hotspot from DASAITA. I turned ON WIFI and connect Dasaita to my iPhone hotspot . ALL OK.
So as somebody said is not possible use WIRELESS CAR PLAY and also have WIFI on Dasaita software.
I think connecting the iPhone to the new port we have the 2 connections ( car play and wifi) and on the other hand we can recharge the iPhone.
BUT.... now I need to solve another problem. I don't know why I need to switch off the Hotspot on iPhone each time I want The Daisata connects to the iPhone Hotspot. If I leave the hotspot always ON ( as it MUST BE) the wIFI that iPhone creates doesn't appear on DAISATA. As soon as I switch OFF then ON DAISATA connects in 1 sec to my iPhone
Best regards

I went into the zlink app preferences and turned off autoload and control system settings. This seems to stop zlink from turning everything back on when you turn it off. Been working for a few days. I do not however use android auto. You would need to play with the app to see how it functions without those permissions.
Hello,
I couldn't make the switch to wifi on. It kept going off. Tried your help, nothing worked.
What helped me today was a complete "power off". A restart.
It's working now.
Hi, I have a Dasaita PX6 with Max10, I have same issue, i have an iPhone 13 Pro Max, I don't know what to do, I can't solve, could you help me? Thank you in advance
I had a similar issue. I recently purchased a Dasaita HD5367-H10 unit and I've been having some trouble with the WiFi.
When the unit turns on, the WiFi turns on and it connects to my phone's hotspot. Shortly after it connects, the WiFi turns off and I have to manually turn it on again. This only happens once upon boot up and it works fine for the rest of the duration. Once I restart the unit, the issue occurs again.
I think I found a workaround. Disabling ZLink from the Factory Settings menu seems to "fix" the problem, but now the ZLink daemon service is not working.
