3g Mobile Hotspot Connection

I see from prevoius posting in July that this was an issues. It is now September and I lose connection after about 10 minutes. I have done the *228. Has anyone solved this problem?
Medellis

I wish.
I'm working on a solution, but it seems that the issue lies within the Android OS, and thus a software update could solve the problem. I have no issues with my 3G connection and tethering when using Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), but on 2.2 (Froyo), I do.
By the way, I got Android 2.3 unofficially from a third-party developer. Uh oh, you know what that means! Warranty Alert!!! VOID VOID VOID VOID VOID VOID VOID VOID VOID VOID VOID VOID VOID haha.

  • Connecting c309a to a wireless network, the printer does not find my mobile hotspot connection​.

    I switched to a mobile hotspot w/verizon.  I had set up my computers (2) just fine the first time.  I had to exchange the hotspot. I was told by my computer to insert a flashdrive and transfer my network settings to the printer and other computer.  After inserting the flashdrive into my photosmart c309a printer, it flashed "turn off and on"  I did, then the printer had lost the network settings menu altogether!  I took it to bestbuy to be looked over and was told they were able to get my network menu back but it was still unable to register a wireless connection?? I'm not sure what to do now?

    Sometimes DSL providers have more control over the router than the printer likes.  There is what I believe to be a similar situation here in the states with ATT 2Wire routers.  This is a cut and paste from instructions on how to fix that.  Try it and see if it works.
    - Unplug the telephone line from the router
    - Turn the power off on the router, wait 30 seconds, then turn the power back on.
    - Go through the normal process of connecting the printer to the device.
    - Now find the IP address of the printer (it should be on the self-test printout), type it into a browser.
    - In screen you will find a Networking Tab, then on the left Wireless, then the IPv4 Tab.
    - On this screen you want to set a Manual IP.  You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range).  If you know what that is, set an IP outside that range but no higher than 255 (the last number in the address).
    - Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
    - Use the router's IP address for the gateway and the first DNS (leave the second blank).
    - Finally, plug in the phone line and test.

  • Mobile HotSpot connection

    Does anyone know if it is possible to connect a laptop through the Mobile Hotspot application using the USB cable instead of WiFi - I have a very old laptop that I would like to occassionally use but it does not have WiFi capabilities.

    The mobile hotspot app is a WiFi-only connection. It sets your Pre up as a WiFi access point. Try purchasing a USB WiFi adapter for your laptop, which would give it the WiFi capabilities it currently lacks.

  • VERY slow mobile Hotspot connection?

    I recently purchased the 4510L LTE mobile hotspot as it was that or dial up. I have been getting download speeds that generally cap out at about 100 KBps. That seems very slow for this area, with 3G coverage. I am always at 3 or 4 bars of service and am unsure if this is standard for that or if I am for some reason getting incredibly slow internet.

    Yes, I have tried to move it around the house and that helped in a very very small way. I just don't think my area is really cut out for this type of service, I recently discovered that there is one company that offers DSL and hopefully I can get that. I luckily still have time on my 14 days and hope that I don't have any trouble returning and canceling my service.
    Thanks to the community member for your input.
    Hi MyUnluckyDay,
    Have you kept trying to use your mobile hotspot to see if the speeds improved? Are you using a laptop with the connection that has an Anti Virus program running at the time slow speed occurs? If so, please try clearing the cache on your web browser and disable your Anti Virus program and retry using the hotspot to see if this improves the speed of your connection. Speeds can vary depending on what your doing on the connection such as downloading a large application or streaming videos, etc.  Also, there was a software update released on September 1st that can help with the connection issues. Here is a direct link to our website that will provide steps on how to obtain the software update. I hope these suggestions can help with your concerns.

    Is the device you're using now branded to the carrier you're using? Meaning, did you purchase it from your carrier?

                       I have an application where I need to have a VPN in a remote location. I have a Virgin Mobile hotspot connected wirelessly to a Cradlepoint CBR400.

  • Enabling My Curve 9300 as a Mobile Hotspot - Is This Possible?

    I have just bought a Microsoft Surface table. This does not have a 3G option. One thought is to access 3g via my Blackberry Curve 9300. Many mobiles can be enabled as a hotspot. Is this possible with the 9300?

    As you see, it's not your BB model number that matters, but rather your BB OS level, your data plan from your carrier (not all allow such), as well as any impact from BES (if you are on such).

  • WiFi HotSpot Connection

    Dear BlackBerry Community
    I have had my BBTorch 9800 OS6 over a year now which is a fantastic phone which compliments any work I undertake, as I do use my phone as a modem.
    I find that at times I may have to text but this puts pressure on the connection plugs, when connected to the PC.
    I have been trying to find a BB App which contains a WiFi Hotspot connector, one where I do not have to put pressure of the components of both my BB phone and PC.
    I understand the Torch 9810 carries this application as standard, can this application be installed on the Torch 9800 but also found in our BlackBerry App World.
    Any info concerning this will be much appreciated.
    Yours Sincerely
    JTV

    Hello,
    Please refer to this KB:
    KB31857 How to setup and manage a Mobile Hotspot Connection
    The hotspot function is limited to 1) your carrier allowing such and 2) having OS 7.1 on your BB. HotSpot is not an add-on app available via any means other than meeting those two contingencies.
    Good luck!

  • Samsung LTE Mobile Hotspot PRO USB cable connection to Mac

    I am trying to connect a Samsung LTE Mobile Hotspot PRO via USB cable to my Macbook and iMac.  I can see it in the System Information, but it does not show up in the Devices in Finder.  Is there a driver that I need?  Does it exist (yet)?

    So I was able to get USB tethering to work, but I still can't connect to the hotspot as a media device (and view what is on my microSD card and/or the device). 
    Here's how I got USB tethering to work: I plugged into my laptop running Linux, where both USB tethering and mounting as a media device work fine, found the Mac OS driver on the device, copied it over to my Macbook, installed, rebooted, wirelessly connected to the hotspot, configured for USB tethering, went to Open Network Preferences..., connected to "SAMSUNG Mobile Device".   I did all this after talking to Samsung on the phone, where they told me the driver does not exist yet....

  • "No Internet Access" on connected device with mobile hotspot

    I've been on Verizon for 2 weeks.  Note II on a Family Share Plan with lots of data.  Using the built-in Verizon Mobile Hotspot application.  Connecting from my work laptop, which is Windows 7.
    Set it up and everything worked fine for a week and a half.  I had no problems connecting or accessing the internet from my laptop.  It worked fine Monday morning.  Monday afternoon my laptop started giving me the warning message "No Internet Access" when connecting to the phone's hotspot.  I'm in a 4g area where the hotspot has worked previously.  I've tried several times in several different 4g locations as time allowed over the last 2 days, and I have not been able to get to the internet on my connected laptop again.
    While connected to the mobile hotspot I ran Windows troubleshooter and it tells me that there is no DHCP server available, and that the default gateway for this network is unreachable.  My laptop has no problems reaching the internet via the wireless network at work or at home.  The laptop connects to both of those wireless networks every day (both before and since this problem appeared.)
    I have rebooted both the phone and the laptop, with no change in the problem results.  I renamed the hotspot, and connected to the "new" hotspot from my laptop, with no change in the problem results.  I have tried running "ipconfig /renew" from my laptop while connected, and that is when it tells me that it cannot find a DHCP server for this network.
    What broke?  How can I fix it?
    I'm still in the 100% refund return period on my contract and phones (for another day or so.)  This is an absolute deal-killer.  Hotspot on my phone is the single reason why I switched networks.
    * Revised 2/28:
    This morning I turned on the mobile hotspot feature on my wife's Galaxy S3 (on the same Verizon Family Share Plan.)  Then I connected to it from my laptop.  When it connected it said "limited internet access" for about 30 seconds, and then that warning went away and I had full access.  I surfed for a moment to confirm, and all was working.  I turned off the GS3 hotspot and turned on the hotspot on my Note II.  When I connected to the Note II's hotspot from my laptop I still had no internet access.  I left it for 3-4 minutes, and it never switched on.  I tried surfing and got only error messages in my browser.
    All of this was while sitting at my desk.  So I believe I have ruled out the laptop as a cause for this problem. 
    Thanks in advance,
    Randy

    After I posted the above in February I talked to Verizon support.  They could not resolve the problem.  They replaced the phone, and the new phone has worked for months.  My work schedule changed a bit, and so I started using the hotspot less often.
    Last week I noticed that after I connected my laptop I had a longer delay before it would change from "No Internet Access" to giving me access.  Yesterday morning it was so slow that I got the command prompt up on my laptop and determined that from the laptop's perspective the problem was that there was no DHCP server available through the hotspot network.  That morning it did eventually find the DHCP server and issue my laptop an IP address, and let me connect. 
    Yesterday afternoon the DHCP server never appeared, and I was not able to connect to the internet.  Same thing this morning.  I rebooted both the phone and the laptop.  No change.  The laptop connects to other wireless networks just fine, still.  This worked for months.  Why did it slow down connecting and then stop?  I'm guessing there must be some sort of buffer that has filled up.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

  • I am unable to connect my mobile hotspot as wifi for ipad - Always dismiss

    I am unable to connect my blackberry mobile hotspot as wifi for ipad  but during connecting message comes as dismiss

    What router are you using? make/model/version
    What security type are you using? If it is WEP then symbolic (non hex) keys may be converted to hex in different ways by different operating systems. Is your laptop a Windows PC?
    If you are using WEP then drop it and move to WPA2. WEP has been deprecated by the WiFi alliance since 2004 as insecure (it can be hacked in seconds).

  • Connecting MiFi 4510L mobile hotspot to a PC

    I recently upgraded my mobile hotspot to the 4510L 4G LTE. My previous MiFi device allowed me to connect my PC to the internet by USB cable. My new device came with a USB cable however it says its only used for updates/upgrades. I tried to use it anyways to connect my PC to the internet and it did not work. Of course the new device works well wirelessly with my laptop. Can I use my new device to connect my PC to the internet?

    You cannot tether / connect to the MiFi 4510L via USB cable. 
    The MiFi is wireless connection only device.  USB and Ethernet cable connections will not work with the MiFi.  If you need to use a cable then you must add a different device such as the one suggested by evdotech. 
    ex. MiFi ))))wireless)))) MBR95 ---cable--- Computer.
    The USB cable is only used for charging and firmware updates.  The 2.23 firmware update will enable you to take future updates over the air further reducing the use of the USB cable.

  • Mobile Hotspot Says I'm connected to internet, but websites timing out

    Hello, I just got mobile hotspot for my Thunderbolt. I am connecting to the network and it is saying I have internet access, however when I try and load a website they are timing out.
    To make matters stranger, my computer is showing recieving and sending packets, and I had a youtube vdeo half loaded, and it streamed the rest. But when I click on new websites it is saying connection timed out.
    All help is appreciated thanks!

    This has happened to me in the past. I've seen a few others report similar issues. I'll assume you've already tried the standard solutions (reboot, battery pull, reseat the SIM card).
    Have you tried connecting to the hotspot with another computer? Have you tried a direct USB connection rather than a WiFi connection?
    For me, the solution was to turn off Auto Sync before using the hotspot feature (Menu -> Settings -> Accounts and Sync, and then uncheck Auto Sync). Don't know why this worked, but it did.
    If the above doesn't work for you, it could be a network-related issue. To test this, try the following:
    Can you ping sites from your computer when the browsing ability is down?
    If no, then it sounds like a DNS issue. In this case, try accessing a website by using its IP address rather than its domain name. For example, 206.112.186.66 is the IP address of lowes.com. If you can access a site via the IP address but not via the domain name, then it's a DNS problem. Call VZW tech support to report it. Use different DNS servers (e.g., Open DNS) in the meantime.
    If you can still ping sites, then it's not a DNS issue. So, next, try using a proxy server--such as proxify.com--to access the web.  If the the proxy server works, then you should call VZW support to report the problem, since it's clearly an issue on their end with specific sites.
    When calling into support, let me forewarn you: Give yourself an hour or more for them to walk you through the usual steps (reboot, battery pull, reseat the SIM card). Also, if they assign you a trouble ticket, don't expect to be called back within the promised 48 hours (it's more like 2+ weeks). Instead, you have to be assertive and keep calling them back.

  • Mobile hotspot drops connection when call comes in

    When my laptop is connect to internet via mobile hotspot on my pre I can't receive calls on the phone without loosing the internet. Is this normal? The hotspot connection stays on, but I can't work on the internet during a phone call.
    Post relates to: Tungsten E2

    It's completely normal.
    Sprint and Verizon use the CDMA network. It does not allow for simultaneous voice/data usage.
    ATT with its GSM network does however.
