So i have a Macbook Pro and i want to tether it to my phone via USB as to save battery vs Wifi Tether so I want to know is there any way to tether to My Computer with out running Bootcamp.
Android Phone Shows up under network connections but refuses to connect.
I also don't want to see anyone say use PDA net because it blocks HTTPS unless you buy it.
I'm Running Damage Control 3.5 Froyo.
Apparently Sprint made it so enabling hotspot or USB tether disables 4G and 3G.
You can use WiFi tethering and still plug your phone in and charge via USB. This will allow you to tether and charge at the same time. Other that PDA Net there is no other option.
I would like to be able to connect my PS3 to my 3G/4G connection via a WIFI router. I have a Cradlepoint CTR35 3G router as well as a Zoom 4501 3G router that I have attempted to USB tether and WIFI tether (using the repeater feature) my phone to. I am on Caulkin's 2.8.1 rom, EL29 modem, which has the unlocked Sprint hotspot and USB tethering features. On both routers, I am unable to get the "3G connected" light to turn on indicating internet access. Are there any routers that are compatible with the Epic 4G Touch? Is there a better way of doing this? My PS3 does not see the AD-HOC connection if I just use the Sprint Hotspot app. My laptop connects directly just fine to both USB tethering and WIFI tethering. I greatly appreciate your input! Thanks

I have Caulkin's 2.8.1 and under apps it has a Sprint Hotspot app. That is what I am using for the WIFI tethering attempts. I need to do some further testing with the WIFI tethering to the router, but my main concern is to be able to USB tether to a router that supports the Epic 4G Touch and currently neither of the 3G routers I have purchased work in USB tether or WIFI tether.....need some insight. Thanks

The Sprint hotspot app creates an infrastructure connection, and not adhoc.
I don't see why you are trying to connect the Epic Touch to yet another router when it IS itself a router via the hotspot app, and up to 8 devices.

what your saying is true.. and yes the person did say ad hoc doesnt work, but if you read it, he also stated just using the hotspot app doesnt work.. regardless, my suggestion would be to just get internet at home and buy a regular router id like to see you play a high end game online with a 3g/4g connection lol.. either your phone is messed up, or your not setting it up properly.. because like ppl have said, the hotspot app turns your phone into a wireless router already..
I just tested connecting the PS3 to my E4GT using the Sprint Hotspot app on Calk's ROM and it works perfectly fine.
I have my Gnex rooted and whenever I tether I can't seem to have a stable connection, despite having a good signal according to my phone. Should I be using a tethering app instead of the default USB tether feature? I am on Windows 7, and each time I enable tethering on my phone a new network is connected and I get prompted to select a network type (home, work, public). Should this be happening?
Maybe your carrier is blocking tethering?

With my Galaxy Nexus (Verizon Wireless) I find that USB tethering is faster than WiFi hotspot. I have a need to share the connection with 3 different PCs. Is is possible to USB tether the Galaxy Nexus to a switch for sharing the internet connection? I know I can use the WiFi hotspot option but I am noticing significant speed decrease with WiFi hotspot and want to specifically use USB tethering instead and share with 3 PCs simultaneously.

This is the dev section, which isn't where this belongs.

Back in the days I was able to use the Galaxy S 4G and the Galaxy S2 to accomplish this.
Now if I connect USB tethering it automatically disables WiFi connection and reverts to cellular data.
If an older device did this, I would imagine the Note 4 can as well.
