Hi,
I can use my Sony Z3C as a wifi hotspot so that my laptop can connect to internet. However, there are sites that I can access and some I can't using my laptop to browse:
Some sample sites
No:
nba.com
www.t-mobile.com
www.cnn.com
Yes:
_ google.com
_ yahoo.com
_my.t-mobile.com
No restriction whatsover if I browse those sites directly in my phone. Does anyone know what's going on?

I have seen TONS of posts about how to browse the internet on the XDA III using your computer's internet access by many different connections including bluetooth.
What I want to do is the OPPOSITE. I want to browse the internet on my laptop using the XDA's internet connection via bluetooth.
I have EVDO with Verizon so it is unlimited transfer and I would like to enjoy it.
Please Help. Thanks
I need it
Hi can you give me the thread to the link where I can connect to the net on my Blue Angle from the connection on my PC
as here GPRS is too costly in India
Thanks in Advance
Does anyone know if it's possible to use this when using your phone as a WIFI hotspot, or does the hotspot only use your data connection? Cheers
I'm not sure what you're asking, but the Wifi hotspot option only allows you to share your phone's 3g connection with wireless enabled devices. If you're on Orange they've probably blocked it by default so you need to configure it.

He is asking if he can forward the Internet connection from the PC using a USB cable (Internet Passthrough mode) and further pass it to other devices using the WiFi hotspot feature IN THE SAME TIME

Yeah, that's what I want to do. Picked up an iPad 2 on Friday, but don't have WIFI at work. Was hoping to share my PCs internet connection instead of using my data.
I'm in the same boat. No wifi at work and would like to share my pc's interenet through the phone's as a wifi hotspot. Theoritically this should be possible. Any third party softwares which allow this?
Hmm, cant test it now due to some reasons but it's possible to use your phone as a wifi card.
For example connect your phone to wifi and activate usb tethering. Now your on the wifi nework with your pc.
I think that yours should be possible too

I'm trying to do the opposite, not usb tethering, rather internet passthrough. Basically I want to use the phone as a wifi router (but not using mobile network as the source of net).

Unfortunately , I guess , this couldn't be possible , because when HTC Desire HD device is connected via " Internet pass through " , the internet connection is neither 3G , nor WIFI . I can't be a hundred percent sure that this is right , but as far as you know there are some GAMELOFT games , which require downloaded CACHE/DATA for playing them . This downloading could be possible , when your device has been connected to Internet , no matter 3G/4G or WIFI .
Once I tried via " Internet pass through " to download this DATA/CACHE files ,but there appeared a notification saying Im neither 3G , nor WIFI connected . So I couldn't succeed in downloading the files . ( I've tried many games , yet has never managed to download DATA/CACHE game files via "Internet pass through" )
My opinion is that WIFI-HOTSPOT can be activated only when you are connected via 3G/4G/WIFI network . But anytime you want , you could try if it is possible via "Internet pass through" be established a WIFI-HOTSPOT
: ))
Create a txt file "qaWifiOnlyMode.txt" and inside write FALSE , put in the root of your sd ... and the game will ask your permission to use carrier network , if internet pass through are active will use the USB connection

Hey guys. Here is the situation, I have windows 10 pc without Internet access but with WiFi card, and mi5s with Lineage 15.0 and Internet access. I want to watch movies on the big screen, but when I connect my pc to phone's hotspot there is no available miracast devices. If I use 3rd device to create Wi-Fi spot, miracast works fine, but i have Internet only on my phone, so that is not the option. I can't just use phone for Internet sharing due for my mobile operator's restrictions.
Can I use WiFi on my phone only for miracast and LTE for Internet?
Is there any other ways to find the solution?
Thanks a lot!
Hi,
I received my MiA2 lite last week, with Android Pie and September security patch.
I tried to use the hotspot yesterday for the first time, and I was not able to use internet from my laptop.
Apparently my laptop (Windows 7) connects to the hotspot, and in the wirelesse connections tab windos also says "internet access", but when I try to open google chrome and browse, the connection is just not working... never had any problems with my old mobile (redmi 4). I am using the same sim card and same laptop.
Anyone can help, please?

Hello;
the ootspot only works if the related data sim is located on slot No. 1
The sim is in slot No.1.
It is weird... the computer gets connected to the hotspot, windows also says "internet access", but when I try to browse to any website, the connection just is not working (google gets stuck with "estabilishing a secure connection", or something similar)
FWIW I've never got hotspot to work. I use the Bluetooth network when I need to connect my laptop.
Possibly the sim slots are misnumbered? I believe they swapped when I upgraded from Oreo to pie...
If computers can connect to the hotspot but cannot reach any webpage, most of the time this is due to DNS server not responding (your carrier could be blocking tethering connections...)
You should try to set your computer connection to use manual DNS instead of automatic carrier DNS : OpenDNS Windows 7 Configuration
This link is for OpenDNS but you can use any other dns provider (Cloudflare: 1.1.1.1 / 1.0.0.1 - Google: 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4)
Let us know if this works
Is your data plan restricted you from sharing data with the hotspot?
Because my data plan is unlimited quota and I cannot access internet with laptop using mobile hotspot.
No problems with hotspot using this device, connecting another phones and laptops, providing that I've registered to available mobile prepaid internet plans/top-ups. Sounds like your carrier issue with internet plans / hotspots.
Still not working... Windows network center says I have connection to internet, but obviously I have not... I cannot even ping Google.com
I was able to use the hotspot with my previous phone... My network provider allows tethering
Did you try with custom DNS server ?
Did you try to ping an IP address instead of a domain name ?
Tethering traffic can be marked, allowing carrier DNS to filter it, but not all phones comply with this rule...
