    Hi,

    Anyone know if it's possible to enable hotspot and wi-fi feature together. I know they currently will not co-exist. Is there a long way round or does it require rooting of the phone.

    I am trying to set-up a chromecast device and i have only 3G broadband via phone, so trying to use the phone as router and cast device.

    Cheers

    Not possible as it has only one radio

    thanks for the heads up TTG, looks like this may be the answer.

    Hopefully it will fool the chromecast device also :D

    Don't think foxfi is the solution as it just seems to allow hotspot which wasn't a problem anyway.
