I have just upgraded to MOTOX. Have GoPro, Needs Wifi Fi, WiFi kills, 4G, No Pandora, Spotify, etc. In this case, CAR I need both. How?

Need to see if it is possible to have both WiFi (for GoPro App Camera Control) And 4G enabled (for Pandora, Spotify, Mail, etc.) in the car.

Can this be done?

Both can be turned on at the same time. I don't know if both are active at the same time. For the wifi, is the phone acting as the wifi hotspot/router or is it connecting to another device that's functioning as the wifi router?

I need Droid WiFi to connect the GoPro cameras WiFi. Apps on phone can connect to camera without it.

When WiFi is on, connected to Camera, 4G is off, and I cannot access any data related apps like Spotify, Pandora, etc...

Which device is broadcasting the wifi signal and which one is receiving it?

Xaminim,

This is quite a conundrum, but we can help clarify! Your phone will use either Wi-Fi or Data to get an internet connection on the phone, but will not connect to both at the same time.

As Ann154 asked, which device do you need broadcasting the Wi-Fi signal? Do you mean that you need to turn the Hotspot on in your phone so that the GoPro camera can get a data connection while you are in the car?

GoPro Camera is Broadcasting the WiFi Signal. Phone recognizes the signal, connects w/ GoPro using Password. Control of camera works as required.

At that time, the 4G is shut off, thereby stoping all other data/internet required apps, Mail, Pandora, Spotify etc.

I am guessing that the phone "thinks" it is connected to the internet through WiFi, even though that WiFi connection is the GoPro Camera.

Has it always been like this? I had a Razor using Ice Cream Sandwich (I think) I also had a Grandfathered unlimited Data Plan, and both worked together, WiFi to Camera and 4G, Since the upgrade to MOTO X, and losing the unlimited plan and moving to 4GB plan, I now seem to have to choose between one or the other.

This will be VERY UNCOOL. I am sure other will be experiencing similar problems...Especially GoPro users trying to use the cameras in their cars.

If their is no current fix, there needs to be one soon...
