Ipad 2 wifi connection with Samsung Galaxy Y phone.

Hi All,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360 model phone. I'm planning to have 3G internet through vodafone in my phone. Is it possible to connect internet from my samsung phone to ipad 2(without micro-sim) by enabiling hot spot feature in my samsung phone?
Please suggest. If not possible, any work around would be of great help. Thanks
Regards
Jim

HT204387 Will my iPad 4 connect with a Windows's phone on Bluetooth

If you are attempting to use the Windows phone as a hotspot, yes, but I'd suggest you use WiFi instead.
To transfer files? No.

IPad WiFi Connection Problems - WiFi Symbol Appears With Full Bars but I Don't Get A Checkmark?

I was using the iPad one day and then all of a sudden it stopped connecting to the internet. The network at this hotel is very good and I've asked them about their router so it is not the router's problem.
I go to the Settings and tap on Wi-Fi then I tap on the hotel network. After a few seconds, it says the network name beside the Wi-Fi tab and it gives me the WiFi symbol showing 3 bars. But then I never get the checkmark or tick saying everything is connected. I try going online and it says the iPad is not connected to the internet. I've tried an iPhone and it connected and got a checkmark in a few seconds. I've talked to the front desk and he took out his phone and showed me that he could connect, he even opened a page without any problems at all.
I've been trying to find a solution for this for a long time. I've been searching Google over and over again. I turned Airplane Mode on for 1 minute, I've tried Resetting my Network settings, I've tried forgetting the network and reconnecting again, I've tried removing all restrictions from the iPad, I've rebooted the iPad A LOT, etc.
So this is my problem for people who don't want to read the whole message:
1. I can't connect to the internet with the iPad
2. It shows the WiFi symbol saying its connected but I never get the checkmark or tick.
3. It's not the router problem.
4. I've tried other networks and it doesn't work. It just keeps on showing that loading circle right beside the network name.
5. Do any of you know what this problem is? Or do you have a solution?
Thank you for reading this and have a great day

Since you are in a hotel, some of these are not applicable.

Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.

Does Samsung Galaxy III phones recognized WiFi that does not broadcast SSID?

I recently purchased Samsung Galaxy III phone. At home, I turned on WiFi SSID broadcast on the router to set up phone to connect to router. I then turned off SSID broadcast on router, and phone no longer connects to WiFi. I understand security is better when SSID is not broadcasting, but this phone will not connect now. Apple products connects just fine. Why will the phone not connect to a router that does not broadcast SSID event when the information is programmed into the phone?

what revision Actiontec do you have, can you check the service Tag? it will say REV A, B, C, D etc.....
Also you can verify you are doing the right one by logging in at www.verizon.com/repair and clicking "

Are there any known issues with iPad wifi connections to Comcast routers

I consistently get the "unable to join network " error when trying to connect to my Comcast all in one router. My other laptops and smartphones connect without issue. I'm using 32GB iPad2 with wi-fi + 3G. Coincidentally I switched to comast at the same time I did the 5.1.1 update. Prior to the switch i had a fios router and 5.0 OS version. I've tried resetting the network info on the iPad and I've reset the router as well. I can see the network just cant connect to it.

Ipad seldom connects with wifi network

14 month old ipad2 worked for almost a year. Lately, it just won't connect to my home wifi network unless I walk it upstairs. I used the ipad in the precisely same location as I use a Kindle Fire and a Dell Laptop, neither of which has ever failed to connect. EVER!. The 'genious' at Apple in San Diego says there is nothing wrong with it. Really?
Obviously, something has changed, and it also obviously is not my network. So, how do I turn this $800 paper weight back into an ipad?

How can we connect our Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and 3 phones to our Mac?

We are unable to connect our Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and 3 to our Mac. When we tried to install Kies per the message on our phones, we got this message -"You can’t open the application “Kies3Setup.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X." Android File Transfer doesn't recognize the phones either. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Right. An .exe file won't run on OS X.
Does Samsung have a version of their utility for OS X? Download that version (though I seem to recall some crashes mentioned here by others who had it installed).

New imac 27(Intel based,bought 2013) slow wifi connection with my Verizon fios actiontec router. All other wireless devices in the house(ipad 3gen,MacBook Air ,hp laptop) have a much faster connection. Should I change router settings to G only,etc

New imac 27(Intel based,bought 2013) slow wifi connection with my Verizon fios actiontec router. All other wireless devices in the house(ipad 3gen,MacBook Air ,hp laptop) have a much faster connection. Should I change router settings to G only,switch channel from auto to maybe 6,channel width to 20mhz? Already changed security settings to WPA2. Currently router is running in mixed b and g mode.

If you have one computer running on G they will all run on G. All ROUTERS are backward compatible, in otherwords if you have a group of computers and all of them are N compatible and one or two are G They will all work but the N computers will run at N and those that are G will run at G speed not N.
It can get confusing but really it is simple. The newest is 802.11 AC and ic used with the newest Mac Computers made available in November 2013. So if you have the newest Airport Extreme that is 802.11ac and the newest computers that are AC compliant your speed will be 5 times faster than anything on the market right now.

Devices (iPad, iPhone) no longer can maintain wifi connectivity with time capsule

My iPad and iPhone can no longer maintain wifi connectivity with time capsule. Time capsule has connectivity to internet via Macbook, but not other devices. This started after upgrade of devices to s/w 6.0. Does anyone know if that could impact connectivity?

Yes, this is often reported with iOS 6.. there are definitely more wireless problems.
I recommend you reset the TC in the following ways.
1. Change all names to SMB type.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. that includes the TC itself, wireless and hard disk. I recommend a different name for 5ghz so you can force clients to that band without auto voodoo affecting it.
2. Use WPA2 Personal security only.. 8-12 character pure alphanumeric passkey.
3. Lock the wireless channels.. particularly for 2.4ghz.. pick one of the channels, out of 1, 6, 11 as these are the only ones that do not overlap.. test each in turn for the best and most stable. TC should pick the best itself but that is voodoo and I am preferring to run the system without black arts.

HP 2540 printer connectivity to iPad 3rd Generation via Samsung Galaxy S2 hotspot

I guess a more concise although apparently too long of a subject line would be:
Printing with an HP Deskjet 2540 printer from an iPad 3rd Generation using the hotspot of a Samsung Galaxy S2 phone
I'm trying to print documents from my iPad (3rd Generation). I have a Virgin Mobile hotspot, which is the network I am using on my iPad to connect to the Internet. The problem is, when trying to print while connected to this network, I cannot find my HP Deskjet 2540 wireless printer. However, once I turn off the hotspot and connect to the regular (non-hotspot) Wi-Fi network, the printing option appears. The reason I don't instead just print using the Wi-Fi connection is precisely because I intend to get rid of the Wi-Fi; so I'm testing the hotspot/printer/iPad connectivity to ensure I can print prior to canceling my Wi-Fi service.
When my iPad is connected to the hotspot network and I have the document I want to print open, I can't see the printer; however, if I close the document and go to the Wi-Fi setting of my iPad, I can see the different other networks available, including one called HP-Print-73-Deskjet 2540 series. I try to click on it, to see if maybe by accessing that network directly I could return to the document and print it, but it requires a password I don't have.
Now, the questions:
1) Is there a way I can find out my printer password?
2) Would accessing the printer network directly allow me to print documents and browser pages from my iPad?
3) Is there any other (perhaps even more simple!) way I can print from my iPad while connected to my Samsung Galaxy SII hotspot?
Thanks!

Hello, and Welcome to the HP Support Community!
I would look into using "wireless direct" since most HotSpots can't act as servers.

Cannot send an MMS with Samsung Galaxy III

Highly frustrating.
I have turned on mobile data, turned on wi-fi, restarted it and it still doesn't want to send. The send circle just keeps going around and around, for hours! I have 2GB worth of data so it shouldn't be a problem. Can anyone tell me how to make it work because I really have no desire to drive up to Verizon, don't have the time. The phone is less than a week old. >.<

No luck..>.<
Perhaps I was doing it wrong. I took out the battery and held down the power button for 10 seconds. Then figuring I read it wrong, I took out the battery, let it sit for 30 seconds, put it back in and held the power button. Just powered on like usual. I really want to be able to send picture messages...>.<

Thanks for the responses, they have been very illuminating!
This is very disappointing from The Carphone Warehouse. If they had mentioned this when I went into their stores, I wouldn't have completed the purchases. I bought two phones at separate outlets and neither of them told me this.
I have been in contact with T-Mobile already as I thought they had sneakily applied a software update that locked the phone. They have denied locking it and suggest that it is something that Apple do. Their solution was a factory reset.
I have a call logged with Apple this afternoon, so will see what they suggest. Hopefully they will give me something that I can take to The Carphone Warehouse or T-Mobile.
