Does anyone have the G Tablet working on the Clear Network?
I know Clear is not in all areas yet so let me explain that Clear offers wireless internet and phone service on their 4G network. Here in Vegas we have both Clear 4G and Sprint 4G available. The Clear service is available for about $40.00 per month here and I am curious if this would work.
The Clear device is a USB port modem that would plug into the side of the G Tablet. Does this Clear device work with the G Tablet?
Also, Clear was selling a small hot spot device that can be used in place of a hot spot phone. I am not sure if that is still available. Do you think it would work with the G Tablet over wifi?
Also, does anybody know if the Sprint HTC EVO Hot Spot feature works well with the G Tablet? I think Sprint requires users to purchase their hot spot service and using a Sprint Phone as a theter violates their user agreement.
So, I am opening this up for discussion and not looking to try this right away, just looking for info for now. I hope this leads to a lot of discussion on the topic of wireless internet on the go. What made me wonder about this is I may have to sit in the hospital waiting room for several hours and it might be nice to take the tablet along to pass the time and I am doubtful there will be wifi service at the hospital.
Thanks for any response in advance.
ahhhh... Finally somthing I know a little about. I dont think the Tabs are gears for drivers for the clear cars, HOWEVER - I've had Clear since the day they came out, 2 usb sticks for $55 a month. Last month I upgraded one of the USB modems for the clearspot 4G, monthly service was the same price and now I have wiMax router that I can connect 8 devices to. IT WORKS GREAT. No reason to get a USB moden when you get the router for the same price
Hope that helped some?

Hi it2steve, are you using the G Tablet with the Clearspot? I talked to Clear Sales on the phone and the CSA said he thought the Modems would work with the Android Opp System. He also said that the Hot Spot device (Clearspot?) was either discontinued or was being discontinued. He said it works great for him (but he is one of those "Apple Guys") and he has it working with about 8 devices.
I was wondering the same thing.. Road Runner/Time Warner Cable recently put a similar device. It is said to be a 3G/4G mobile hot spot router. Their service is $39.99 for their local 3/4G service while the national(nationwide) service cost $39.99 for the first 3 months then reverts to $59.99 after that. Currently I have a rooted G1 with barnacle adhoc tether. Max DL is about 1.8 mbs on 3G and max upload speeds of .7 mbs. It is sufficient for browsing websites but not for watching flash ie YouTube(although some videos do play good and quickly). I'm using it ATM at work with max 12kbps DL and like 4kbps upload. Haha!
Hi,
HTC EVO4G hotspot works well with gtab. If you root your EVO you can either use wifi tether or with some roms use hotspot feature without having to pay the carrier any additional fees

Sprint is re-selling Clear's 4G service. I have a Sprint Overdrive 4G Mifi hotspot. Actually using it now because the cable modem in the house went dead. 5 devices can connect and use the hotspot at once. It's awesome.
Let me warn you. No one that I am aware of has been able to get any USB air card to work on a G-tablet yet. I know some devs are trying to get it to work, but if you want mobile internet on the G-tablet, you need to get a mifi or hotspot device.

Ok... I don't know anything about a recall. I do, however, know first hand which services that I have had with them the last year and a half:
- I started with two USB Clear 4G modems (NOT 4G+ which is 3 and 4G)
- 8 months ago I got the original 'ClearSpot Router' (which was an actual router, made my cradle point branded by Clear that a usb stick went into and broadcast the signal like any other router.
-45 days ago I upgraded one of my USB sticks to (now what they call) Clearspot 4G (not 4G+) as it's basically the same as the first one except it's all built into one unit. You set it up like you would any router, user / pass / SSID / encryption / ect.
It works flawlessly on my tab, laptop, Wii and even cell when I need it. As a backup I tether my Tab off of my Vibrant too.
Hope this helps some. I've included two pics, one of the first Clearspot with USB and one of the 'new' Clearspot where the USB is no longer needed (by the way, for the price and what you get the Clearspot makes it a no-brainer compared to a USB)
I have the 4G Clear Spot portable WiFi router (second picture above) and it works fine with the G tablet as with any other WiFi device. You can connect up to 5 devices at a time The WiFi signal is 802.11b/g.
Hi.
I'd like to ask if the galaxy note 10.1 3g models support:
1. Creating your own wifi hotspot
2. Using it as a usb modem on a pc
I'm asking this since I know that my 3G iPad can't do this without jailbreak hacks. ...and yes I may end up using the tablet as my phone.... cause I'm sad on the inside...
On a side note, is LTE worth it price-wise and performance-wise in your respective countries? I'm not really considering the future LTE version but maybe this tablet may last longer on me than I'm willing to say cause I'm cheap. LTE's not quite up in my country so far and 3G is very limited in my country. As in they offer unlimited 3G on all 3 major networks but they throttle the connection speeds from dial-up to 256kbps at best. I'm on the worst network (signal-wise) but my 3G connection is at least dependable compared to the other 2 (I can use viber with high quality sound) as long as I stay in the capital region (which is always).

try looking up "wifi hotspot / wifi tether" app from innodroapps. i use it to tether my note 10.1 to my computer all the time with no problem. I only have the wifi version of the tablet though, so the 3g version may have the option to tether built in somewhere

I use Fox-Fi on my SG Note without rooting. Should work on the 10.1.
Hi All,
I live in a remote area and need an unlimited connection for home use... The Sprint network is great here, however the "unlimited" plan limits tethering to 5gb. I was looking at the LG G2, or Nexus 5, (I have a Nexus 7 and love it) but it seems as if Pdanet/Foxfi will not work.
Is there a work around for the G2 or is there a similar phone that will allow me to share my unlimited data? (Don't mind rooting, just not too familiar with it)
Want to be totally informed before signing up for a 2 year agreement.
Thanks for any feedback, and sorry if this isn't posted in the right area.
Have you considered a Sprint Mobile Hotspot. I have the newest Netgear 4G LTE version and it has been outstanding. This device comes with TRUE Unlimited Data. It's the 3rd Sprint Hotspot device I've had and this Netgear blows the other two out of the water in reliability, connection stability, speed, and a battery that will last 2 (business) days with moderate to heavy use. --- It also recently lit up with the Sprint Spark icon. While this upgraded service is not yet available, the device is obviously ready for implementation.

Big lesson learned: always check to make sure that the house you're about to buy has broadband. We didn't and we're screwed.
So, I'm looking for a ROM for the S8 / S8+ (even the S7) that I can use as a hotspot for our house. I have one of the old Sprint unlimited plans that I'm going to use to provide internet to our house. What I need is a ROM with a good tether app that gets good LTE performance / speed. Can anyone recommend anything.
I'm going to be upgrading my old non-functioning Motorola Moto X Pure so I'm flexible on the phone. But, Sprint does have some decent upgrade options available on the S7, S8, S8+.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello xda,
I recently upgraded to a Galaxy A52 (SM-A525M/DS) from an A3 (SM-A320F).
The problem is that while I can hotspot with the A3 I cannot with the A52.
I only switched over my existing sim from A3 to A52.
Internet comes in fine on both phones, well actually internet comes in much better on A52.
A3 can share internet via USB tether and AndoidAP whereas A52 can do neither.
I performed factory reset and no change on A52.
At&t store guys told me it is due to my current plan not having hotspot add on.
So the difference according to them is unlimited versus unlimited plus (At&t designation).
Even though the A3 can supply internet signal via the existing no-hotspot plan...
So I am not convinced this is network controlled but may be controlled via A52 software.
I like the phone and want to keep it but this is either a ridiculous restriction by phone company or a software fubar or I have not configured the A52 properly (even though a vanilla A3 can hotspot with my existing sim plan) or Microsoft has not provided a working NDIS adapter for when A52 is tethered or hotspot enabled.
Has anyone else run in to this?
thanks
ATT charges for hotspot service. Root your phone. I am waiting for delivery of a carrier unlocked A52 5G from Samsung with better pricing than on the open market. I will post a review after I receive it . Hoping to find a debloated stock rom for this phone sometime in the near future.
You can have hotspot access without paying more to ATT but it will take some effort.
Following up... So I received the carrier unlocked phone and have discovered that the 750c Snapdragon chip on this phone is only bootloader unlockable if you pay ransom to a couple of available services. I was disappointed that I didn't do the homework to discover this beforehand. I don't know if I will be returning the phone yet, but this was a surprise that I could have been aware of.
Hoping there is an XDA developer developing a workaround. Sadly, I am not skilled at development. I can only reap the benefits of XDA developer community dedication to personal freedom.
