So to clarify: There is no need to explicitly connect the the GPRS before starting the hotspot: the hotspot backend will take care of switching the connection.
Naaa i don't switch to my UMTS connection manually. I see that the mobilhotspot app is switching to these connection (i'm getting the white dot with the two lines in it) and the WiFi icon disappears.
That happens if I click on "start", but after clicking on "stop" the WiFi connection doesn't come back again. at least not directly, but i have to say I never waited the full 5 minutes.
that's why i suggest that this "scan for an available WiFi" should be triggered some seconds after the stop-button was pressed.
