Now if you are saying you can’t tell your phone to connect to the trucks hotspot and also connect to wireless AA, that is accurate. That is a limitation of the phone for the time being. I imagine more phone manufacturers will consider dual WiFi radios on their flagship lines for similar reasons.
I'm saying that when using wireless app projection, cell services like text and phone work fine. But any app like Pandora, Spotify, Amazon music do not work. It connects via wifi. And the WiFi status on my phone says internet services unavailable. Is there a setting, assuming on my phone that needs to be changed?




Edit: figured it out. I had the "switch to mobile data" setting when internet is unavailable or slow turned off. Under advanced WI Fi settings




Thanks guys
