Running I727 Skyrocket, with AT&T tethering plan, connection to a dual-boot pc Kubuntu linux/Windows 7. When in Linux, usb tethering works great, but hotspot wifi will not even show up, when in windows usb does not work, but hotspot wifi does. ????? I know that both the usb and hotspot transmitters work on the phone, and both the usb and wifi adapters receivers work on the computer, so why can't I get both to work on both? Any ideas? I looked at a few other threads, but found nothing the exact same problem.

Power is out at our house, seems to go out ever once in a while, whole entire neighborhood. Looking to get USB tethering up and going on Mac Os X with 4G Lte but it is asking for modem settings, apn, and account number, password. Anyone get USB tethering up and running on mac os x with the default samsung tethering application?
Ur better off using the wifi tethering and just charging the phone off the USB port, this will work better without having to set all that up
I would like to know also as I am not getting the same speeds when I am using the portable wi-fi hotspot option. When I do a speedtest on my phone Im getting like 12 MB/s download on 4G LTE. However when connected via hotspot, my mac laptop only gets like 2 MB/s. Just wondering if usb tether would get higher speeds.
I tried adding the device as a modem in the network preferences on my mac but could not get it to work. Not sure if I have the right settings.
Can someone explain why this tablet needs a Hotspot. If it doesn't have 3G/4G connectivity why would I need to connect something to this device? When I connect it to a Wifi any other device could connect to the same Wifi without going through the tablet. When I connect the tablet to my phone I just turn on the Hotspot on my phone and connect the tablet via Wifi. So my question is what is the purpose of having a Hotspot built into this tablet? I'm just not seeing a need for it........
Because USB Ethernet adapters work, too. My work has no WiFi Router in range for me, but I can connect a LAN cable to my tablet and turn that into a WiFi hotspot for my phone.
And Hotspot is just a general feature in Android. It also not makes any sense to have mobile.data and such (which is also clogging memory) on a non-telephone tablet, it's just there.
I understand the wifi hotspot won't work without rooting or paying for the wifi hotspot service. The usb tethering I thought was supposed to work though? I am able to get an ip address from the phone when usb tethering is turned on but can't even ping google.com. I am assuming that this isn't supposed to work but here's hoping that someone else figured out a way

I found a few posts on sprint's community site where sprint reps stated they disabled the use of usb and bluetooth tethering. The phone is still capable of turning those features on but sprint doesn't allow it. They then state pay for the hotspot costs and it will work though. So my guess is that the sales_code setting not only gets the wifi hotspot working but the usb tethering as well.

Does it have to be a usb connection? If you have your MSL you can just do a couple of EPST edits and enable the native hot spot without root!
I'm having trouble getting my S6 to tether with my ASUS RT-AC68U router. I got my MSL number and changed the APN settings, and they work (I can use the wifi hotspot and USB tether with my laptop). However, when I plug in the USB to the router and have the router attempt to connect, it turns automatically off the USB tether on the S6! This doesn't happen with my Verizon HTC M8, with the same router. With the M8 I put it into tether mode and connect the router and away it goes! Any thoughts or ideas why?
Anyone know if it's possible to tether either via usb or bluetooth with the p900?
I just want a network connection between the two to use for ssh/telnet with Juice ssh and remote keyboard.
I can't use hotspot as I need be able to connect to the internet over my macbook's wifi. Public networks usually don't allow 2 devices to talk to each other so it doesn't work over wifi.
Ignore.
For anyone that has this issue on a Macbook you need to go into networks and makes sure that the Bluetooth PAN connects. It doesn't happen automatically as it does for my other android devices
The Note Pro is then accessible at 192.168.44.1
Actually I just connected to my phone as the bluetooth was on. So still a question is the P900 capable of bluetooth networking?
I tried the Bluetooth PAN app on the app store and it complains that the executable file /system/bin/pand is missing. Does anyone know of a way to add this in?
In case anyone else needs this USB tethering works fine using Valera1978's port of CyanogenMod 12.1.
So i have a pretty complicated network setup right now due to my normal home internet dying and technicians never coming to fix it, so i'm now using my phone on 4G, use the wifi hotspot on that phone, go downstairs, use another phone to connect to that hotspot and use usb tethering to get internet on my pc.
The issue right now is that i can't seem to be able to communicate with my desktop pc (connected by usb tether) with my laptop (connected on wifi hotspot)
any idea on what software i could use to fix that?
