Galaxy S4 Wifi Hotspot App - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

What wifi hotspot app do you use for your Galaxy S4?

Check out my thread from the other day. I'm not sure if there is an actual app amymore...I use to use barnicle but can seem to find it. Try the es file explore method, it works...as long as you're rooted.

Looking around
I come from HTC to a great Samsung G 4 and HTC was hard at times, but it taught me a lot about android. Don't know if anyone thought of this and i think i actually found what is being used.. Samsung Kies is able to restore factory firmware onto your SG4 by using the computer as a terminal, sorta like an htc ruu would do.. even downloads the info/firmware to your computer (including mf3) from what I've readhttp://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-I337ZKAATT
Wonder if thats how it is because you don't need to be a rocket scientist to work at best buy....

samsung kies issue

Ok im trying to get the samsung kies app store because i hear they have a working version of nfs shift.
I would like to play it because i payed for it.
I know it says doesnt work on galaxy tab but what im trying to figure out where all these people on youtube are getting working versions from and i see that alot of them have gotten it from there.
The samsung apps on the device. I dont use nfs shift since you cant change the control type

yeah just go to samsung apps on your tab and download a working and free version of NFS shift.
ok im guessing sprint removed it because i do not have a samsung app except for media hub
Hi, kai v2 does not connect good with the tab-slow and poor ui.also cannot tether(?). Uninstalled and back with old version 1.5. Can download 98mb for about 15 min using kai v1.5. An hour or 2 using normal laptop connection!!!!
Other members may have different experience though.

Its on samsung apps on the device itself. The download is big (100+Mb) so better be on wifi.
meh wish that us carriers didnt strip it from the device...

LOLOLOLOL. Ive used 3GBs in less then 48 hours.
Just wondering what you're using as your apns did some googling but there seems to be quite a few different ones. What are you guys currently using. Also if you could please answer if you managed to get it working with the standard pe installed hot spot app or a 3rd party app

Yeah, I am kinda worried about the whole tethering situation.

Try using Agent Switch Pro for chrome on the latest Opera setting. That's how I'm doing it.

Keep us posted. I switched over this afternoon and am going to give this a try tonight. Thanks.
Nothing to keep posted. I've been using that technique from the beginning and have had no trouble.

I tried it on my galaxy s3 using t-mobile hot spot and it kept redirecting my me to sign up for the hot spot plan. However, I did use a different WiFi router app and was able to tether. I am rooted btw.
Tether did not work with my S3, but does with my G2 and current S2's Did not get a chance to try a different rom on the S3 before sale tho so not sure about that.

Probably a stupid question on XDA, but are you rooted and running custom roms on your S2s? I'm interested if anyone has tried this on stock firmware with one of thee non-root tethering apps. I would test myself but I can't remember the last time I had a phone with stock firmware.

my ladys first s3 wouldnt tether til rooted using an old wifi tether app, her replacement s3 i havn't had a chance to root yet and most likely won't. tether much til i flash custom
only problem i have now is xbox live wont let me see my friends, partyies, etc
no matter the settings, i can still play and Netflix

i tried vpn, but it wouldn't connect and i am in over my head trying to learn on the fly at the moment

Yep I used both the s2 and s3 sucessfully.....
There is also another topic explaining another method of replacing ur apn in the general subforum of the tmobile s3
As for the s2 there is threads for apns and then for user agents
Live throws a code stating that some items may not be available but playing and netflix green light
Updates you have to dl on ur pc then transfer it to ur xbox by disc, etc storage medium
I have also changed my dns servers but I can still use tmobiles dns and do both
I use to have a full live experience until the last 360 update and now something borked....nebody have ideas? Lol
So I should have no problem using my sensation as a hotspot to power my roku box to stream Netflix to my t.v. right? Thanks!!!

[Q] Where did Kies Air app go?

Just came over to the Galaxy S4 from my S3. I used to use the S3's Kies Air application a ton to pull pictures off here and there, loved how I could quickly connect to it and grab some files without the need for a cable. Notices that isn't there on the S4 anymore, is there another way to do this or did they kill that?
Dixit
Ah nevermind. Seems to be on the Play store now. Guess they are not bundling it with the S3 like they used to, no biggie.
Dixit
If you like that app you should check out Airdroid. I think its much better.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
Thanks! Your right looks better for sure and seems easier to use. The Kies Air one keeps nagging me each time to create an icon on the desktop and keeps complaining about Java even though its updated. Im going to start using Airdroid. Thanks again

[Q] WiFi Connection Optimizer

I just switched from Sprint a couple weeks ago, where I also had an LG G2, to T-Mobile. I'm still loving this phone - enough that I couldn't justify giving it up to try the Nexus 5.
Anyway, one thing I liked about the G2 on Sprint was a Connection Optimizer (I think it was called). You know when you go to a public wifi and have to pull up a website and agree to their notice before you can use the connection? This handy little tool did that automatically for you on wifi networks you've previously connected to. I LOVED it. With the exception of Tom Thumb, it worked flawlessly for me everywhere I went.
Well I'm not seeing or finding that on the T-Mobile G2. Am I just missing it? Is it possible to install it or is it just a Sprint thing?
I'm not rooted yet and don't plan to be any time soon.
If someone can extract an apk you should be able to install it even if you're not rooted. I'm also interested in this as well

How would one go about making such a request?
I'll see if I can extract the app. I'll download the sprint kdz and see if i can find it and I'll extract it here in a bit
Sent from my LG-D800 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Looks like it's a no go because i was looking more into it and it looks like it's an embedded feature on sprint devices
although you can give WiFi Web Login a try: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.uk.syslynx.wifiwebloginapp
it says it does exactly the same
Thanks for looking into it, I appreciate it. I'll check out that app.
