Mobile Phone Wifi

I have an LG GT505 phone and whilst not the best phone it did get me out of a sticky situation.
Here in the West Country there are many 'dead spots' that don't get a signal from any of the phone networks. However this phone has wifi and it will quickly find any local networks, usually that of the restaurant or pub we're in. On one occasion none of my friends with a variiety of smart phones could get a signal from their networks. However my LG had logged onto the unsecured pub network and allowed my to use the orange network without problem. It is the constant logging on to BTfon and Openzone networks that made me choose BT total broadband.
We've only been connected for a couple of days and the phone had picked up the hub quite naturally. Unfortunatlely although not required at this location, when I start a call on the phone it would be alright for a few seconds, then the hub would disconnect and cut off the call!
I had not deliberatlely connected but had to deliberately disconnect to continue my calls. This had never been a problem before with my previous ISP. It just logged any networks within range.
I have left the IP/DNS settings to dynamic and entered the wireless key that comes with the hub but now I cannot get it to connect. Does anyone have any experience of using their own mobile provider (Orange, G3, T mobile, Virgin etc.) via the BTfon network.
One final question. If using my netbook on the move, is iit just the BT Total Broadband user name and password that I need to carry about with me or will it have remembered those from when last online from the Homehub?
Thanks to anyone willing to try answering this lot.

Is the hub dropping the wifi or disconnecting from broadband?
Also wifi can be effected by local enviroment i.e other signals, internal walls, if you wander to far from the hub it will drop.
Sounds like you may have to reset the hub and try again to connect handset.
You will need to remember your log in details or have them with you when you are out and about as the BT Fon/Openzone login page will not remember them.

  • Touchpad Wifi Connection Through Mobile Phone

    Hello Everyone,
    Can anyone help me find a way to use my mobile phone(s) as a wifi/bluetooth mobile connection to the internet. I have a work Blackberry 9630 with 3G Data on Verizon and a Palm Centro with Sprint everything data. Is there some way to use my phone(s) to enable me to access the internet for my touchpad? Since I have a Centro I am also looking to possiblyt upgrade to an android device if this might facilitate access for my Touchpad.
    Thanks,
    Sean
    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    You will have to check for availability of "Wifi Hotspot" apps for the phones you mentioned.  My TouchPad works easily with my Pre2 and Pre3 with this type of software.
    I'd ask a salesperson to demonstrate this ability in the store before considering any purchase.  The TouchPad has problems with some phones that try and create an "Ad-Hoc" wifi connection.  Those that create an infrastructure type connect fine.

  • Can't we get calls to normal mobile phones from apple iPad 3 wifi+4g

    I want to know weather we can get calls to normal mobile phones from apple I pad3 wifi+4g

    The iPad is not a mobile phone and therefore cannot make or receive calls. The iPad can send a message to another iOS device using the Messages app but the iPad cannot send or receive cellular text messages using the SMS system that all cell phones use. There may be an app that gets around this limitation though so check the App Store.

  • Mobile phone Can't connect to the Notebook Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter

    1. Create Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter 
              1.1 netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=NETWORK key=password keyUsage=persistent 
              1.2. netsh wlan start hostednetwork
    2. Connect Network Sharing--open
    3. phone using wifi to connect the network
    can't connect ,wha's wrong? notebook can surf through Ethernet connection.
    If i set a static ip in the mobile phone which is the same net section like the Microsoft Virtual WiFi network, DNS:8.8.8.8 . Then can connected, but can't surf, anybody can give me some helps?
      Ethernet connection:
    1. ADSL dail mode
    2. Static IP is setted
    3. DNS is setted

    Hi midource,
    Please update your wireless network adapter driver for good measure.
    Check your phone connection properties see if it could get IP address from your computer properly.
    Static IP doesn’t mean your phone has connected to network, if you set static IP the connection will show connected but without internet.
    This issue could be caused by incompatible hardware with Virtual Wifi Miniport Adapter hotspot, especially on some android devices.
    But we still could do some configuration changing and give it a try.
    Check properties of your adapter Ethernet connection->sharing, check “Allow other network to connect through…” and “Allow other network users to control…”
    Tight click Ethernet connection-> properties->Advanced (advanced settings might be different depends on WIFI adapter manufacturer)
    Disable 802.11n mode
    Disable 40 Mhz Bandwidth Compatibility Mode
    Run Netsh command you mentioned above as administrator.
    Disable firewall temporarily.
    Check your issue again after re-enable your Virtual Wifi Miniport connection.
    If the issue still persists
    Please try other devices on your Windows 8.1 Virtual WIFI Miniport Adapter hotspot. If they works check compatibility issue with your phone manufacturer or set a router for network sharing.
    Regards

  • No WiFi when Mobile phone Network down

    My home WiFi - BT Infinity, works fine when I have a mobile phone signal but should I have a very poor signal or none then I am unable to log on to WiFi. In other words when I need it the most it doesn't work. For example I am with 3 and this morning the 3 Network in my area went down, no problem I thought and switched on my 3 App which allows calls and texts via my WiFi connection. It wouldn't connect to my WiFi due to me having no mobile phone network? The same thing happened a few months ago when I was on Vodafone and had a poor signal. I was in a local cafe and so asked for their password and tried to logon to their WiFi: it took about 10 attempts due to the "quality of the internet connection"?
    Is this anything to do with BT or is it my Samsung Galaxy S3?  I can't see it being the mobile phone provider as it has happened with 2 different ones.
    Many thanks

    Your home wireless connection has nothing to do with a mobile phone signal or the 3 Network.
    Your home BT Infinity wireless connection should show up on your phone wireless connections as something similar to BTHomehub5-xxxx and to connect to it you need to use the wireless passkey that is on the label on the Homehub.
    If you are using an app to try and connect to your wireless connection it may be that you have a problem with either the app or the phone or you are not using/connecting them correctly.
    Have a look at this link how to conect your phone to your BTHomehub

  • White Home hub more than one mobile phone on wifi ...

    I'm trying to set up my friends white home hub so that he and his wife can surf on their Samsung Fit mobile phones.
    The hub refuses to issue a seaprate ip address for each phne.  One will connect Ok and then when diconnected the other will sometimes connect on the same Ip address, but usually searches for an IP unsuccessfully.
    I have tried t without any encryption and the same thig happens.
    There does not seem to be a way to set IP addresses manually for the phones, unlike my Ver 2 hub.
    Any help in resolving this greatly appreciated.

    Hi, happily connected to my wifi with a number of devices. However, new Samsung mobile phone will not connect, despite connecting with other wifis(so not a phone problem) . Any ideas?

  • Unable to iMessage from iPad Wifi to mobile phone?

    The problem is one single mobile phone number. I already iMessage to three other non-iPhone mobiles, but when I enter this specific one, the "send" is greyed out, and I get the message "this number is not registered with iMessage ".
    Any tricks or help, please?. Thanks in advance.

    By "to three other non-iPhone mobiles" I assume you mean three other iOS devices which means they are set up correctly as is your iPad.  So the question is "Has iMessage been properly set up on the iPhone that fails to work?".  For example, can you send a text message to your iPad from the iPhone? How about from the iPhone to the "other non-iPhone mobiles"?

  • How can I swap phone numbers between Verizon and T-Mobile phones?

    I have Verizon and T-Mobile phones. My wife uses the T-mobile phone and I the Verzion phone. I was given a GSM iPhone 5 that I want to use on the T-mobile account, so I want to move the Verzion phone number to the T-Mobile phone and the T-Mobile number to the Verzion phone. I do not want to have to inform all our friends about the number swap. I also would like to maintain phones on different networks for reliability and connectivity assurance.
    I called the Verizon wireless number and the person couldn't help me. The best I can figure out is to give up on Verizon and move the Verizon phone number to a new T-mobile account.
    Any ideas?

    They are both 4g phones correct?  All verizon phones come unlocked.  If the verizon phone works with tmobile all you do is take the sim card out and stick it in the phone.   however when you do this it is going to erase everything on the phone so make sure you back it up before swaping sim.  As far as using the tmobile phone with verizon you would need to ask tmobile if the phone is unlocked

  • Enterprise solution for Mobile phones using Wi-Fi

    Hi All,

    We are working in a building where we do not get mobile phone coverage ie cannot get signals at all from our telcos

  • When I send a text message, the iPhone 4s sends it via email rather than to the mobile phone number I wish to message.  How do I change that default?

    My wife (who has a Droid) asked me to text a photo to her.  I went to Message on my 4s, selected my wife as the target for the text, selected the photo, and sent the text.  Rather than appearing on her mobile phone, the text went to her email.  When I selected my wife as the person I wanted to text, I was not given any choice of the target phone number or email address...it just defaulted to her email and did not tell me that is what it was doing!  I did find a solution, but it's more complicated.  I have to go to Contacts, select my wife, and then I'm given a choice of how I want to send the Message.  Why doesn't the iPhone do this in Messages in the first place?

    I am not sure what you mean.
    Do you mean the From field?
    You can change it by tapping it, it will give you options based on the other email accounts set up.
    You can set a default account here:
    Sttings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > scroll down to the Mail section & you will see Default Account. You can change that to your gmail account.

    First of all, are you using a Windows Phone (windows phone 7 or 7.5) or a Windows Mobile (6.1, 6.5) phone?
    Windows Mobile phones are generally not compatible with macs for USB internet tethering. They do work OK by sharing via Bluetooth or Wifi.

  • International Call to a Mobile Phone

    I just purchased a monthly subscription to S. Korea.  Can I call their mobile phone for free and can they also call me back for free?  I am using my laptop and he is using his mobile phone in S. Korea.

    There are two monthly subscriptions landlines, and landlines and mobiles which one did you choose? If you chose the mobile you can call his mobile until your minutes run out. He should receive the call for free as is the case in most of the countries I have been to except the US. He cannot call you back for free. If he uses a Skype app on his phone and is on wifi he can call you skype to skype.  If he downloads skype on his computer you can talk skype to skype for free.

  • Let Macbook Pro share the Mobile Phone connection

    Hi there,
    try using macbook and mobile phone bluetooth to let my macbook pro share the internet connection from my mobile phone network.
    you know most of the time when i carry my laptop, there is no wifi connection to use internet, but mobile phone should be a good option. but how to share via bluetooth.
    try to find some articles here but really get more confused.
    anyone ever make this happen?
    Thanks,

    This is called Tethering which the iPhone supports, but your cell phone carrier must support this to begin with and most charge an additional monthly fee for a tethering data plan in addition to the carrier's data plan for the iPhone alone.
    Page 24/25 of the iPhone User Guide.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_iOS4_UserGuide.pdf
    You can use iPhone as a modem to connect, or tether, your computer to the Internet. You can connect iPhone to your computer using the Dock Connector to USB Cable, or via Bluetooth. Note: Tethering may not be available in all countries or regions. Additional fees may apply. Contact your carrier for more information.

  • WRT400N mobile phone issues

    hello!  I seem to have an odd issue with my router....Setup went through fine, I have it broadcasting a G and N network.  The N network is awesome, the G is also running smoothly with all devices...EXCEPT mobile phones.  My computers and Xbox run great off the wireless G...anytime a mobile phone connects it give it service for like 30 sec- 2 minutes maybe then drops it.  The phone stays connected but says no internet service.  You have to disable wifi on the device and reconnect it again to get another 30 sec of service before it repeats.  I thought it was my device...but anyone with a mobile phone experiences the same.  Is there some setting I can play with to remedy this? 
    BTW it does have the latest firmware.  Thanks for any input!!

    This "maybe" a bug. Can you try it using iphone?
    Try refalshing the firmware and then the 30-30-30 reset rule.
