Hello i have a sprint galaxy s III and i was wondering if anyone has had success tethering a sprint phone to the nexus 7? My phone is not rooted, i would like to keep it that way if at all possible. I use FoxFi and PDA Net and it does connect to my Nexus 7, but for internet only. Google play will not update apps, facebook will not work, Netflix won't work, ect. I tried open garden, FoxFi (by itself), PDA Net (by itself) and nothing else connects. What is everyone else using??? Thanks in advanced!
Well I`m using foxfi and it works very well for me. I`m living in uk.

I tried out foxfi today for the first time. It seems pretty good, but I would like to here others suggestions as well.

That doesn't really answer the OP's post though. FoxFi doesn't look like a real internet connection to all apps though. Is there another app that does any better?

If I understand this right your wanting to connect your N7 to the internet via your G3, if so cannot you just use the mobile access point on the phone, i have the galaxy s and my sister has the S2, both have this options in the settings and once set up and turned on acts just like a wireless router, select it and enter the password on your N7 and your away.. works well on mine

I've never tried it, but how about PDAnet?
Foxfi Wifi Hotspot no longer works on my nonrooted Droid Bionic. I can only tether via blueetooth, which doesn't allow all of my apps to work correctly. Does anyone know of a Foxfi alternative?
My Foxfi works fine on droid x to my nexus 7. I don't know what you're talking about not a real connection....
Check it out though, foxfi is definitely awesome.

Hey everyone, just wondering is there is a way to tether via USB using wifi as the source of internet?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
Yes there is. It's built into the system settings (At least for ICS).

It's called internet pass through I think.

clarification
Do you mean for the PC to tether though the andriod? if that is the case you may need to use something like EasyTether.
Yea, I want to hook a PC up that doesn't have wireless capabilities so I can use wifi on it. I'm running AOKP, I haven't tried to hook it up yet to see if it comes with this rom.

OK just an update, hooked my phone up to my PC and hit USB tether at the settings UI is force closing
EDIT: Using Easy Tether, I have internet but its intermittent and a little slow, but its a start.

There is an app on the Play Store called "Open Garden." It enables Wi-fi tethering on 3G or Wi-Fi for Free.
Before I had Ice Cream Sandwich and was rooted, I always used PDANet, it works great on both Mac and PC! If it isn't in the Play Store anymore, i'm sure you could find the .apk somewhere online. Best of luck!
I can get tablet talk to connect and function perfectly on my n7 connected to my S3 via bluetooth, but it keeps disconnecting frequently via wifi.
I've changed ports to 8080 on both but still the problem persists. Would prefer to have wifi as the would be less drain on both my n7 and S3 that way.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Anyone know what could be wrong? Apple is useless to me this way.

I used to use TabletTalk but since getting my Nexus 7 it never worked 100%. DeskSMS and TabletSMS from ClockworkMOD work perfect and wayyyyyy better.

DeskSMS
TabletSMS
Works awesome in chrome with the extension as well.
mysms has also worked well for me and is free. It will also sync as long as both are connected to the internet (ie you don't have to be on the same network).
I also connected n7 and s3 with tablet talk but when a SMS arrives it isn't synched with tablet and I don't hear notification sound in my s3 so I've lost a lot of SMS. Do you use s3 with stock or custom ROM??

I also use TabletSMS, this one is not depending on the devices to be connected to each other or even on the same network, i never got tablet talk to work the way i wanted, especially when i lost the connection i had to physically connect my phone to the tablet again using the connect button, nothing else worked, but this one works perfectly, always.
Works great for me. One of my top used apps on the Nexus7 . Use WiFi mode mostly but works fine using Bluetooth. Never have and issue synching it with my gnex on wither mode.

Thanks for posting this I'm trying it out now. It sucks its a yearly thing but 5 bucks isn't much at all.

i use tablet talk and was experiencing the same problem. the issue is that most roms, even stock if im not mistaken, disables wifi after the screen has been off so long... solution: go into settings and change wifi scan to bigger intervals.. worked for me. hope this helps

Do you use WI-FI or bluetooth connection? Which is the best to save battery life?

Have you tried SyncSms? It syncs your texts utilizing Dropbox or Google. Been using it a long time and it works beautifully. You'll need a network or wifi connection for your tablet. Learned about it on XDA as an XDA fellow created it. It costs a few bucks but worth it. Do a search and you should find it. Highly recommend it.

TabletTalk is different. Connect to your phone via Bluetooth and you can put your phone in your pocket and go anywhere and tTalk makes you like a phone. Connection to internet is not necessary nor is data.
I use Tablettalk all the time over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth all the time. The trick for me on Wi-fi was to put the IP address in the tablet to the phone. then it connects and stays connected everytime.. Just my two sense work..
Tablettalk is the cream of the crop.. works an dsome of the newer featrues coming will be great.. (p.s. Not i dont work for them. I just love this app)
Well if people have used HTC you got option for tethering. Where you can use System Internet on your cell phone.
But as tethering NOTE2 have its Vice-Versa.
Can someone guide me.
As does Samsung note 2 provide tethering like HTC DOES !

Would like to know this too
yea love that feature
can use computer internet use on phone
If you're on windows just use connectify to create a wifi hotspot. Reverse tethering doesn't work on samsung phones.

So this mean it will not have tethering like htc
Right !
Hello everyone,
Just wanted to share an alternative to tablet talk which lets you send SMS using your tablet in sync with the phone.

Tablet talk lets you call as well, whereas this doesn't. Also tablet talk offers bluetooth connection whereas this only uses wifi. But hey it's free rather than paying for tablet talk so that's always a good thing
Thanks if it helps
Worked good when I first installed it, but after leaving the house (both devices losing wifi) and returning, they simply search for each other endlessly, telling me to connect to the same wifi (which they are).
I tried deleting the pairing and closing and re-opening the app on both devices, but now they just refuse to see each other. Last resort I suppose is to clear data and reinstall both.

i prefer mysms, it works great on my nexus 7 and hox
The best app ive seen for this is CloudSMS. The dev had a thread on xda and is extremely responsive. Hes very quick with updates as well.
The app is 99ยข. Small price to pay though.

After taking a trip to the darkside for a year or so (IFail), I decided to rejoin the force by purchasing the Optimus G, mainly for wifi-tethering and more control over my actual phone. I can connect my phone just fine to my Mac (the Optimus appears under devices in airport), but cannot get my Kindle, nor my X-Box to connect to the wifi. Is this an ad-hoc vs. infrastructure connection issue?
Can anybody help with this issue?

Not sure I can help with your ways, but Wireless Tether, from the Playstore, works good for me. You have to have root. Settings are; ics/jb generic, wlan0.

Most wireless tether apps use ad-hoc, which only works for PCs and PSPs it seems like. The built in version you pay for works on some phones like my old evo, but we hack to unlock that first to not pay. I will check it out when I get the chance and see if I can do the same thing.
