Sorry if this might be in the wrong forum.
I was able to successfully tether my SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 8.9 to my DROID 3 phone via bluetooth. I also use verizon.
1. I have read on various forums that many people have gotten this setup to work. Why hasn't Verizon disabled this? Can they even detect this?
2. Which is faster or more reliable? Bluetooth or USB tethering? How would I tether my tablet to my phone via USB ?
Thank You~!

Has anyone used a Sprint 3G USB device to connect their G-Tab without wifi? If so, what app is required?
For a laptop, one must use a Sprint Windows program named "Smartview" for connectivity. I don't even know if what I am trying to do is feasible, however I'm sure someone on the forum has an answer or opinion.
Thanks in advance.
Well i have my transformer and i wanted to be able to connect it to my phone but my phone is only provifig ad hoc conection. I was wondering if thereis a way around this. I was told that rooting the device might makeit easier. I woudnt mind rooting the device(if possible since it is a us version)but if there is another way for me to get wifi access through my phone i will take it.
I have a touch pro 2
On sprint that is running enery rom
Thanks guys
rooting wont help it recognize ad-hoc, what you can do is do a bluetooth tether instead of wifi.

Thanks....is there an app on how to do this? Im used to just wifi tether and ive never blueooth tether before. Ive looked at my bt setting and everytime i get them to pair the only option i have is for my phone to use the transformer as an internet access which is the total oposite of what i want to do.
yes, how do you do Bluetooth Tether?
I have my SGS running Wireless Tether Root, on BT tether mode. But the Asus Transformer can't see the PAN tether service after I pair the phone and tablet.

Does your phone have wifi hotspot capability? If so root it and turn it into a wifi rounter. Then you just connect to the phone as a wifi device. That's what I do. Not on the TF yet but with netbooks, ipads and an archos gen 8 tablet.

Oops thats a new Winmo phone isnt it? I can do it but you'll be charged for it.

Dear all,
I just got the Nexus S 4G phone from Sprint, and already updated it to 2.3.5 due to the weak signal issue. I noticed that USB tethering is not working since the beginning (2.3.4). I went through Setting, Wireless & network setting, Tethering and portable hotspot, and USB tethering, then enble it. The computer showed that it was connected with the phone, just no internet connection. Could anyone help? Thanks a lot
The 2.3.5 update blocked free tethering.

Bigtoysrock,
Thank you very much for your help. I still have two questions.
1) is it the 2.3.5 problem only, or USB tethering is never working with Andriod? I am new to Android, and I didn't get the USB tethering working with 2.3.4 either.
2) I know if I root it, I will get the mobile hot spot working with 3G only. Will the root also give me the USB tethering?
Thanks a lot,
As far as I know 2.3.4 worked and not sure on the second question as I don't use the native app for tethering. I do know however that pdanet works for usb tethering. When you root it comes with the one click root package to give you the correct drivers. I would try it for you but I am not on the stock rom.

If you unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery Peter Alfonso created a flashable zip the fixes native tethering in 2.3.5
I tested it with the wireless native app not the wired but should work for both

Thank you, Bigtoysrock and Jackslim. I will root it with Peter's method. I will report whether it works with USB tethering. People reported that they have wireless tethering working. However, nobody talks about USB tething,
I remember there's a way to usb tether your phone without the need of rooting using proxydroid
I did this when my EVO was replaced with a new one that was unrootable at the time
You can find proxydroid in the market for a free app and use their wiki for details on getting your computer setup

Jackslim, thank you. That post has a straight-forward tutorial.

any tips how to use usb tethering in best way....
Hi, 1st time posting a question, I wasn't able to figure out a solution with pre-existing threads.
Prior to the ICS ota update I was able to wifi tether my wifi only Xoom to my rooted Tmo HTC G2 by using the Wireless Tether app, with OUT needing to use a BT connection on Wireless Tether. The xoom simply recognized my G2 and another WiFi signal.
Now, I am not. A few things have changed; I now have a rooted LG Tmo G2X, and also have the ICS ota update on my WiFi only xoom.
Wireless tether, wifi tether and similar apps all function properly on my G2X and my 2 laptops recognize and connect to the signal, but my Xoom does not even see the G2X at all. I have also attempted to use the apps in BT mode, and was able to pair but not connect the 2 devices.
I wondered if it was the Android ad hoc issue, but that didnt make sense, as it did not inhibit this function in the earlier version of my Xoom.
I have not yet rooted my Xoom.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Hi Masters,
Sorry I am totally newbie here.
Yesterday I have bought Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (P3100). At home I have desktop with 2MBPS broadband wired connection.
I was searching this forum for lots of great information and suddenly I thought, is it possible to have my broadband connection in my new Galaxy tab 2?
I checked and I got the information about the Reverse tethering. But lots of posts are considering rooting for this technique. I don't want to root my phone but rather just want to browse the internet without any additional cost. Is it possible without rooting? It will help me to browse the internet in my company too as Wifi is blocked (and anyway I don't wanna play with Wifi option).
Thanks in advance,
Sampada
