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!

Hello everyone! First time poster here.
I've been looking for solutions all over and i can't seem to find one...
Internet at home is down and I'm tethering on my phone (tilt2 energy rom w/ att). Tethering works fine but i have to disconnect from the LAN to make it work.
Tethering internet creates another connection independent from the LAN.
I am using windows 7 and i'm wondering if there's any way i can tether internet on my phone and be connected to the LAN at home?

You could tether via Wifi or Bluetooth instead of USB.
thank you! that did it
Hello!
I have installed RCMix HD rom, with new Sense, and i have option for Internet Pass-Through. I am wondering, if it is possible, to use on phone internet connection from PC via Internet Pass-Through, and in settings turn on Portable WiFi Hotspot, that will let me to connect to internet on another laptop? I tried this, but i doesn't have internet on laptop...
And, is this possible anyway?
The way the internet sharing works with the Desire is that it acts like a modem which then shares the internet with a PC. You can't do it the other way around, sharing internet from your PC to your phone, just phone to PC.
You can use your computers internet via internet pass through, I know because I've tried it, but you can't use the computer internet for hotspot, I tried that too

@damo : bro can u tell me how u did it???m using windows 7 but cant seem to get it work on the phone....everything is getting connected but no show on the phone....
is there any particular setting u need to do???
as a thought - what about if you made an adhoc connection from laptop and shared internet with that connection...?
just a thought- completely untested..
just remember when I had a machine set up with a crossover and shared wifi from laptop to PC and wondered if you could do something similar with an adhoc wifi connection...
You can't share the internet connection used from a pass through connection. The reason is that it uses the same framework for both pass through connections and Portable Hotspot. Would be cool if it could be done, but with Windows XP and above you setup an AdHoc Wifi connection which will allow you to connect one device and share and internet connection.
This may have been asked before. I am curious if it is possible to connect to an internet connection sharing device (laptop, desktop), and use that particular connection for internet based access on a samsung galaxy S3. I know that you can reverse tether to allow the PC to connect to the phone for internet. That's not what I'm looking for. I have a laptop that I want to be able to connect to from the phone to the WIFI connection, and access the internet via the shared LAN connection that I have on the laptop.

Internet Connection Sharing on your Wifi, set it to Ad-Hoc so it broadcasts a signal. My laptop has Intel MyFi so that part's done automatically (I can be both connected wirelessly and share my connection) but setting it this way should work.

Doesn't show up on the phone. Is there something I need to do to allow it to see ad-hoc networks?
I just bought a chromecast and I'm trying to figure out if I can get my GNexus to host the hotspot and be the chromecast remote.
In more detail:
I do not have internet from a cable/satellite company. The only internet connection I have is through my cellphone hotspot.
Chromecast will be connected to the internet through my cellphone hotspot (SSID: AndroidAP).
When my cellphone has the hotspot running it does not show up on its own network (AndroidAP).
I need the phone to show up on the network (AndroidAP) so that I can see the chromcast and use the phone as a remote.
Is this even possible?
Try Foxfi?

Honestly don't think this is possible.
It would be like trying to connect the phone to it's own Wi-Fi hotspot that it created?
I cannot find a definitive answer: Does the 2013 N7 support connecting to Wi-Fi Ad-Hoc networks? I do not have a router, but I do have a wireless card in my PC which I am using to broadcast a Wi-Fi Ad-Hoc network. The N7 sees the network, but is unable to connect. I have tried disabling all security on the Ad-Hoc network (no password), but it still does not connect.
Has anyone figured out how to get this working?

also wondering if it supports it, I cant even see ad-hoc. Might be something that we can mod onto the stock rom
Not supported. There is an ancient bug report for that:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=82
CM might include support:

Do you have a particular reason to use ad-hoc mode? The N7 can play access point just fine; your PC most likely as well.
There is this mod if you really need, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163363, I personally think Google should add native support, is really not that hard, especially for Google

Here it works.
My neighbour gave me access, he is 100 meters away. My laptop has a real teck card with outside antenna and I rebroadcast the signal to my nexus 7 with connectify.
It works....
My home internet went out a couple weeks back and I used ad-hoc on DJLamontagneIII's CM10.2 Flo Kangs rom. It was a build from a couple weeks ago, but I'm sure it's fine on the new one.
There were no tricks, ad-hoc just showed up under Wi-Fi connections and I connected.
Good luck.
I do wireless tether from my lg optimus g to my tablet just fine. If I recall WiFi tether creates it using ad hoc, not infrastructure (unless you have a rare phone that supports it). It works just fine.

The Nexus 7 doesn't connect to adhoc connection unless. It connects only to infrustructure networks and this is with some other android devices. Rooted devices have a way of going around this though.
did anyone have a solution for the nexus 7 (2013)?. I cant find anything helpful at all regarding this.
I really need to connect to an ad-hoc connection
You need to be on window 7.
I think it s not working on xp.
what you are suggesting is just normal infrastructure hotspot.
I need to connect to an ad-hoc wifi connection , specifically to a symbian phone as a hotspot using Joikuspot.
anyone?

this thread seem like showing the solution for other tab, but not for nexus 7 (2013). can someone make it work for our tablet
I just flashed CM-FLO 4.3.1 and it doesn't work. The tablet is able to see the Ad-Hoc network I created with my Nokia E-72 (yes, I know it's old but it's my work phone).
It sees the network. I click on it and connect (network is open; no wep). It then says that it saved the connection but if I click on it again for it to connect it doesn't.
I've tested this with 2 different iPhone's and they are able to connect successfully and browse while connected to my Ad-Hoc. I verified connectivity because the mb up and down counter shows data traffic. I thought CyanogenMod would have it enabled by default. I guess not.
