Hi everybody,
I'm planning to buy a Note 10.1 2014 ed the WiFi-only version of course.
I was wondering: is it possible to connect a 3G-Phone (like my Galaxy S2) to the Note using a USB adapter and tether from phone to tablet?
I couldn't find a clear answer on the web..
Tanks a lot.
Yes as long as you have tether setup on your phone. That's the way I do it.

I believe you cannot use Wi-Fi tethering (whether its wireless or USB) unless the host device is rooted.

just to make myself clear, I want to use me phone's 3g internet on my tablet via usb cable. i'm not trying to make an wi-fi hotspot, just use the celloar internet from my phone without drain my battery by turn on wifi hotspot on the phone and connect to it from the tablet.
I know that it can be done from phone to computer via regular usb cable, i'm wondering if it will work same way between phone to tablet.
Thanks again.

Use Foxfi, it works just tried it. I used my phones 4G data over Blue tooth mode and works just fine. I am now able to use my phones 4G connection with my wife version tab. No longer confined to hotspots and home network There is a free version and a payed full version without the byte cap.
I didn't have to use usb tethering. Just connected through blue tooth

Is there anyway for me to Reverse tether on my samsung epic?
I would like to plug my phone into my computer and use my computer's internet on my phone
I saw that the HTC thunderbolt had that option right when you plug it in and it was called "internet passthrough" where it uses ur PC's internet right on your phone.
Please let me know!

Wifi is not an option in my lab at work.
So it woudl be nice to be able to plug my phoen into my PC at work to get internet access on my phone that way.
I only get 1X in the lab as well...so tahts why i'd really like to get reverse tethering.
My coworker in the same lab uses his PC internet on his HTC thunderbolt.
When he plugs his phone into his PC he has additional option of "internet passthrough" which allows his phoen internet access through his computer

I've tried connectify on one of the laptops here. When i turn on the hotspot my phone is able to see it and connects...but doesnt get internet access.
Not really sure what the issue with that is.
Well Wireless N is 150 mbps... that should be plenty...
There is a 3G version, works well..

N can be either 2.4 or 5 ghz -- though the claimed "150 mbps" is usually around 75 mbps actual throughput.
The epic is wifi n I use it constantly and was the biggest reason I bought this phone. was the first phone for sprint with wifi n and bt 3.0
I'm with the poster on this one. There is no wifi at my job so plugging into computer would really help when I'm pretending to work. I see a lot of discussion but nobody has said whether this will or will not be possible

He wants USB Tethering. I have noticed that it is actually broken on a LOT of JB ROMs but nobody uses it or bothers to test it so it goes unnoticed. You might wanna try ICS.... I don't use USB Tethering but I have seen the problem across multiple devices on JB (excluding official JB of course)
Oops thats what happens when replying to a post when half asleep. I didn't think people still use usb thethering. Anyway right now best to buy a usb wireless adapter and use the modified wireless tether for root users. Unless someone else knows of a way to usb tether that works on jb.

USB Tether app
I use pdanet for my USB tethering needs. I am currently on TBGS3 5.0 (GB08) and tested it. It works flawlessly... the only thing is you may have to pay for the full functionality, depending on your needs. The app itself is not on the market, but if you google it you will get to there main cite, where you can download the app for your computer and, utilizing the push to phone function, can install the app on your phone. Good luck, hope this helped. :good:

If you're getting an "account not authorized" message thats the carrier.
Hotel doesn't have wifi, you can't tether from mobile data...
I don't think you have any real options, unless you can get to a Mickey D's or something that offers wifi...

Is there ANY WAY to tether my GN2 to my PS3(SuperSlim)? I'm running a custom version of CM10.1 and have NO problems sharing my connection with other phones, tablets and laptops through the "Tethering & Hotspot" settings. When I setup and connect to the internet on the PS3 it might connect and be good for like 2mins then it turns to s*** -_-
Please help me or at least tell me its impossible.

Question, are there any roms out there that have a better quality hot spot /wifi tether than others or is this feature just generally poor on this phone?
The reason I am asking is that my original evo had great hot spot quality. I drive back and forth from Houston to San Antonio and with the evo my wife would be able to be connected and work on her laptop the whole way. With this phone she can't.

No not at all just turn it on. Uses your phone number as password but you can change that. Treves has a lot more settings and configuration. This is the sprint hot spot and you just turn the switch to on.

I completely agree, but I thought it mentioned he was having trouble with it. I haven't used either much, but they both seemed to work equally as well when I did use them. The native hotspot is easier to use too.

Tried to connect using a tablet, same thing, it connects to the phone but no Internet access. Maybe it's just that the phone doesn't have a strong enough signal, hard to believe the signal on my old evo was stronger than on this phone.
