I have a sim card I used with the original galaxy tab 7.0 and internet worked fine but now that I have the galaxy plus I get the message "To connect to the Internet with the device you are using, you'll need a webConnect data plan." Is there a way around this? It has to be something software related that is detecting this since with Gingerbread or Froyo on original galaxy tab did not have this issue. Maybe an app from T-Mobile that is blocking this? For ex. on the SGSII phone, just had to freeze the "wifi tether manager" to get free tethering again. Any help would be appreciated guys and gals

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
No one??
I rooted my sprint samsung galaxy s3. Do anyone know of a wifi tether app that will work on the s3? When downloading a rom, what is the best program to use to open the app. Do i need something like winzip?
I _love_ the galaxy tab I just bought from Verizon, but I bought it for one reason alone - wifi tethering when I'm on the road.
I have tried every ROM I can find, every app, hacked app but cannot get wifi tethering to work.
I have 4g tethering with my GS3 on t-mobile but the Verizon network has MUCH better coverage when on the road.
Should I return the 7.7 & get a Tab 2 7.0 - I don't like it as much but must have tethering? It seems there are AOPK ROMs for the 7.0 - which btw was the only rom I found that would give me tethering on my GS3 (built-in & it works great).
Any recommendations for getting tethering working on the 7.7? Thanks for any help!
*Fixed* wifi tethering on Verixon Galaxy Tab 7.7 SCH-i815!
Hi All - wanted to post an update, I got it working using the Custom, Stock ICS ROM 4.0.4 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932597
*I wiped everything clean in CWM & flashed the 'wipe' version of the ROM only, which includes Gapps.
The native 'Mobile Hotspot' works GREAT, and I am happy as a clam - don't have to 'downgrade' to a lesser model Tab 2 7.0, and have my hotspot I need. I'm getting almost as fast speeds on my Verizon hotspot as I am on my Concast cable: 23-26Mbps down, 7-10Mbps Up.
Many thanks to Electon73 for the custom rom!!

I'm trying to tether my Galaxy S4 Mini. No matter what I do it doesn't seem to work. I've rooted it and still nothing. When I try to activate it a message comes up and says "You are not subscribed to hotspot service."
Foxfi says it's working, but no signal is going out. Can anyone tell me what's wrong?
Hi guys,
I need some advice about my Samsung Galaxy S3. I recently bought a new S6 so i wont be using my 'old' S3 as a smartphone anymore.
I am planning on using my S3 as a 'tablet' but i wont be needing all the 'call functions' and other crap that has been factory installed and drains my battery. The Phone was Vodafone branded.
I just want to use the Phone as a navigation system (TomTom), use Wifi to surf on the internet etc.
Which rom is best for me to install?
