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~!
Just curious if the hotspot is working on VZW without any modifications for those that have retained unlimited data. Please post your success/failure or workarounds. I'm currently using PDANET and FOXFI on a DX2 and waiting for my phone.
Also, what is the purpose of the USB download from the Samsung website? I'm curious if this puts the lock back on the stock Hotspot feature. Has anyone installed it yet?
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 have the samsung galaxy victory 4g lte on virgin mobile and I want to use it to tether. I rooted it but no tether app I use is working for me. Does anyone have a working tether on this phone? If not, what are some generic tether apps/ways to get tether working?
Thanks
Well, even though this thread has no replys, I will explain what I ended up doing with the Galaxy Victory:
I originally was trying to get mobile hotspot to work with Victory using whatever app I could. However nothing worked. I then just tried to use PdaNet+ (FoxFi) USB tether and that ended up working with a regular PC. Then I just used the computer (desktop) to broadcast the network using Virtual Router Plus.
So far this has been working, but hopefully I can eventually get the mobile hotspot working directly from the phone. Although I think this might require a new kernal which I have no experience in making/modifying.
you can try easy tether.

Thanks for letting us know what you did. I have the sprint device, but have not tried any tethering apps. Also, the kernel already supports tethering but the stock tethering app and associated framework try to block tethering from another source. Thanks again and If you're interested in some mods check out AndroidForums. There are not a lot of users, but since Virgin, Sprint and US Cellular all sell this phone now hopefully more will join us. Thanks again.
Tether problems
I am using the wifi tether app with the TrevE Mod, with all the settings everyone else seems to be using and I still can't get it to work on my Virgin Mobile Galaxy Victory. Anyone have any ideas or tricks i could use to get it to work?
Hi,
I got a silly problem with my S3. i am using it in India currently and my Data package allows me to Tether. but since the S3 goes through verizon it wont let me tether. I was wondering if there is a work around for this or if there is any good tethering app that doesnt need Root or any software installed on the PC.
Thank you
