[Q] Issue with sharing internet using WiFi hotspot - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there. Have got this issue with sharing internet on my Note 2 when I switch on the WiFi hotspot. I can switch on the Hotspot, and I can get other devices (phones, my laptop) to connect to it as well. But none of the devices can access the internet.
I have been using my other phone, an HTC Incredible S, without any issues. But the same does not seem to work with my Note 2. It worked fine when I used it a few weeks ago, though. And I don't remember making any changes. It is stock, and I have added an extra SD card which is about the only new thing in the phone.
EDIT: Ok, here is an update: Bluetooth tethering does not work either. However, I have noticed that I can share the internet if it is not 3G. I don't seem to have any problems sharing a net connection I get from another wifi source.. Makes sense?
Thanks folks!

Hi , i have the same problem
i want to connect my Note II to my laptop so i can use the internet connection of my laptop
i get the internet by a dongle (truemove 3G+ Thailand 15kb/sec ! )
i can acces my laptop, however i can only do this with a static ip adress.
i use the program " virtual router " wich works fine
but after th econnection has been made i still cannot acces the internet
as far as i know i opened everything in my system that i can think of to make it possible for my Note to acces the internet
it still not work
after this i tried the progran Pdanet.
same story , connection with the laptop but no internet
i am starting to believe that maybe my windows7 is blocking somewhere ?
btw. firewall is offline , no virus program installed
Help ??? kind regards J Pompe Kohn Buri , Thailand.

Hello there!
I think you have a different issue here In fact, quite the opposite! I was unable to share my 3G connection with bluetooth/wifi tethering options. I did a factory reset, and it is all fine now.
About the problem you are facing: Did you try this on a different computer?

WIFI HELP NEEDED

hi
i have a belkin g wireless 802.x.G router at home and have a wifi setup since long..
i was always able to connect to the wireless network with Bluangel aswell as my laptops.. (i have no encyrption.. or secutrity settings)
i upgraded the radio rom to 1.12 and after that have not been able to connect to the network.. it says belkinG network found and connected but the internet explorer or msn or agile messenger cant seem to find the net settings..
internet is on share in main computer nad my lap tops still conect and use it..
i thought may be it was because of rom 1.12 but flashed older 1.31 imate with ext rom and radio rom but still cant get the internet to work..
when i use PIE it says network card not found..check settings..
in wireless settings i can see it saying that it is connected to belkin network

can you see if your pda2k's wlan adapter has an IP address? if not, then only radio is connected but that doesn't mean you have a working network connection.
I use vxUtil which is a collection of network tools, this enables me to ping, check settings, ip addresses and a whole lot of other stuff since the onboard utils just don't cut it for network use..
argh
I have the same problem although I havent upgraded any radio settings! My Wifi has worked fine since ive had my m2000, being able to stream video and music or surf the web. but recently i cant surf the web although I can still stream music.
Ive downloaded the program you reccomended, but not to sure what to do with it. Any help would be ideal
Thanks
hi
thanks guys.. i dont know what happened but everything is eorking now ..including the net.. just turned wifi on.. it asked me again whether this is for work or internet (evn htough i had it connected to internet last time aswell)
thanks

I suppose youve tried soft-reset and all that..
does it connect to the internet if you have it connected via usb to the computer?
i havent tried the comp connection no , and yes tried soft reset etc , but if it says it is connected to wifi on phone why is it not using it? i am in UK Btw

Normally if it is connected to WiFi and if you know the WiFi has a good connection to the internet (i.e. no security, timing, aso.), it should connect. If WiFi does not work, it should try the Wireless connection. If u say that is also setup but still doesnot connect, try to connect it to the computer via USB and see if thats working.
I have used schaps 3.30c until a couple of hours ago and it was working with no issues over wifi and wireless... try hard reset then...
sorry i cant help more...
hey...I have the same problem with my X01HT... I can access to the WiFi in the office and even remote control my PC, but I still cannot visit Internet on the device...pls advise
anyone could kind lent me a hand ?
Does this help?

Turn any windows mobile into WIFI router

This application lets you use your phone as WIFI router without setting up anything in device. Let me if you guys like it.
This application has its own thread here on XDA-Developers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357152. Don't really see the point of you posting the CAB here.. without all the information needed.
Well this message, in the wrong place, introduced me to your excellent application!
thank you
How do you turn off this wifirouter?? i got it working and works fine although i cant get my archos gen 5 to pick it up but i tuned it off but my computer still picks it up although it cnt connect to it
the app is connected but i am not connected to the internet on my laptop...any answers? i tried resetting a bunch of times
is it the trial version or the real thing? is there a free way of doing it.. does it work for windows 5
infrastructure mode?
is there a way to broadcast in infrastructure mode, instead of ad hoc? i would love to use a zune hd with this, but it is not able to see ad hoc networks. thanks.

the SSID is not showing up in my computer. All others (mine and my neighbors wireless connections) are showing up.
How to get my playstation 3 2 work with this router
Hi i am so damn frusterated right now with this. How do i get my ps3 to work with this router thing. My computer connects to it and recieves wifi. But when i try to find it with my ps3 it wont detect it. Does any one know how do i get this 2 work.
try this
1. connect ur trinity to ur laptop / pc via USB and run "internet sharing" on your trinity.
2. Set up an Ad-Hoc connection on your PC / Laptop and directly connect ur PS3 to it.
3. In network settings on your PC / Laptop click the ad-hoc connection icon and the windows mobile based device icon (Ctrl-Left click each one) right click one of them when their both selected and click on bridge connection from the drop down menu.
this method's a bit of a potch to set up but once its running it works perfectly and you only have to set it up once. it also lets you use the internet on your pc and ps3 at the same time.
I'm pretty late to this and NEW (newbie), but I wanted to make a quick post about it's use on my Imagio winmo 6.5 OS 5.2.21... no mods, no roms burned and this works perfectly. Now I can surf at work without the assistance of our helpful IT friends LOL.

Your laptop or pc picks up adhoc signals aswell as infrastructure, to be quiet honest, this app is very useless when advertised as a router, doesn't route anything if just limited to adhoc, adhoc = computer to computer connections, not a router to me at all! Its a very nice app for many other things though.. I see someone giving you instructions for 'ICS' doing all that just makes it all pointless and you may aswell just get a home router connected to house line!
This is one of my favourite apps. I've been using it for a long time now and just awesome.

Really love this app. Only problem is that it worked great the first time I launched it. Now it can't connect. It just keeps on cycling trying to connect to att gprs and finally says "the remote party has ended this connection". Any ideas?

It sounds like possibly your connection settings have been erased. Can you get internet in Explorer, etc? If so, please disregard this...
how do i load it in my phone
thanks for the share , can you explain how the procedure works , I want to create applications like these but still don't understand their concept

[Q] Internet pass through

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

Google for an app called "Connectify". That should work. I don't know how far it supports Windows XP (The page says it does support XP, but for Ad Hoc mode only), but I guess it shouldn't hurt to give it a try.
