tether iPhone to galaxy for internet? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I am thinking about purchasing a Galaxy tab 10.1. I have a jailbroken iPhone with PDANet on it, I was wondering, if I get the WiFi Galaxy then would I be able to forward the 3G connection from my iPhone to the Galaxy? I can do this with my laptop.
Also what is the honeycomb marketplace like now? Are there a lot of apps?
Thanks

I have both an iPhone 4 and a 10.1 and I have done what you are trying to do but not with pdanet. I use mywi and you can use both Bluetooth tethering as well as the hotspot feature, both will get the job done.
Edit: and sadly not the android market place looks a little shabby to me but that doesn't mean their aren't apps out there n.n

Splashtop HD does not work

Hello everyone,
Just thought I'd let you know that splashtop remote hd(the tablet version) does not work on the galaxy tab 10.1. the regular version does work though, which is really kind of sad. I don't know how you can make a tablet specific version of an app and have it be worse on tablets than your original version. Hopefully there will be an update soon...

I got a reply from their support
Thanks lot for your great support!
Splashtop Remote HD has compatibility issue with Galaxy Tab 10.1 . Our
engineers are work on this now. We will fix this issue soon. I hope new
version will be available within one or two week. The solid schedule
still depends on whether there are other issues on this device. So I
can't promise the exact release time.
Before we can provide new version to fix this issue, if you need refund,
please go to http://support-remote.splashtop.com and open a ticket for
this. Our support team will tell you what information is needed, and
refund ASAP. After refund, you need to purchage our app again if you
want to use it.
Sorry for this issue again.

Best Wishes,

What is the difference?
I hope there's support for higher resolutions. My desktop is 1440 x 900 I hate how splashtop changes the resolution when connected to android.
Market now says Galaxy Tab 10.1 is supported for Splashtop HD
and there's currently a 50% discount ...w00t!

Does this mean I can watch netflix through this app? Do you have to be on the same wifi nework or something, can you use this miles away from your home?

I have yet to try over another wifi network but I can almost watch hulu vids when tethering over my Vibrant on 3g.
So my guess is it will work fine over a real wifi connection.
At home I was watching both netflix and hulu flawlessly + playing Civ V... for me this is an amazing app and well worth the money.
Do you know if someone can use the desktop while I'm using this on the tablet? But for $5, I'll just get it in either case.
Works pretty dang good on my tab now. Worth the bucks, and fun to play tricks on my GF from the other room when my computer opens up a word doc and starts typing to her... lol.

Well the point of remote desktop is to use your actual system will at a different location. So the other person will be able to use the computer, they will just be messing with whatever you're trying to do . I "tried" it the other night with my laptop and it seemed alright. Tried playing minecraft but that requires a keyboard+mouse to be playable but it was fairly smooth. I'm sure netflix and hulu would work fine.
You should be able to remote desktop to a computer on another network as long as you set up the router for that computer to do so (port forwarding, I believe??) I think there are instructions on the splashtop website for doing just that.
Sale over ?
It's still on sale, I just bought. Using it now and it works amazingly well (over wifi), far better than the other RDP clients I've tried so far. Next stop will be testing it's performance over the wifi hot spot on my captivate.
Five bucks already well spent.
Edit: works over 3G, but not super well. I suspect my mediocre upload speed is to blame. Afraid there's not a lot I can do about that right now. I'm moving soon, so hopefully my new place will have some better options for internet.
just thought i'd add i'm using this right now.. posting this reply.. from manhattan.. remotely connected to my pc in eugene oregon. i am tethering from my 4g tmobile and its almost as good as my wifi from home. Speedtest shows a 50ms ping and a 6- 8mbps connection.. I can stream netflix or stream movies from my pc and they are pretty darn smooth.. 5000 miles away!! Splashtop rocks!! I am using it on my ipad though.. been waiting for the hd version to be released before i buy a tab 10.1 since remote desktop is just about all i use... looks like its time to buy one.
gonna try it and see

[Q] USB tethering from Phone to Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Honeycomb)

I'm trying to find a way to use my Iphone 4 data plan (3G) on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Wi-Fi Only) through the USB cable/adapter but no luck so far.
I'm currently using the ROM Task Rom 9.0 on the tablet so Ad-Hoc is enable and I've been able to tether to the Iphone through Wi-Fi, however it drains my phone's battery pretty quickly.
I do have the Samsung USB adapter but when the Iphone is connected to the GT it only allows me to copy photos. It doesn't recognize the USB tethering.
Does anyone have any tip or advise???
I guess the same procedure could be applied to any cellphone regardless of the OS.
What app are you using on your iPhone?

Not that I am endorsing you tether your phone without a data plan set up for it.... but I've heard Open Garden works great - so long as your Sensation is rooted.
hey i figure its data i would be using on my phone anyway, just on a bigger screen.

[Q] Fix for Ad-hoc Wifi???

Devices: Galaxy S 3 (I9300) and Nexus 7
Looking for true fix for ad-hoc Wifi. I see many work arounds for tethering. But so far no true fix. Anyone know where this at - status? This is needed to connect to say the Brookstone Rover 2.0 which makes an ad-hoc wifi - I cannot modify the Rover so I need to modify the Galaxy or Nexus.
Both devices are properly rooted and backed up. Ready to rock if only I had a solution....
Thanks.

[Q] Basic Phone for Wifi tethering

Hey all,
I'm getting myself a tablet instead of a smartphone as in my opinion they are the jack of all trades and the master of none.
So what I'm looking for is a basic phone that has great battery life as well as the ability to tether the internet to my tablet, anyone have any experience that may help?
My Tablet of choice is the Asus Memo pad 10
Thanks,
Fenlig

I've bought to my mom a Galaxy W, but at the same price you can now find the Galaxy Ace 2 (here about 170 Euro). You can then root them, improving the battery life. Wifi tethering works without root, just download a good app from the Play store.
get a galaxy ace...decent cheap phone which supports tethering
Have you considered bluetooth tethering? It's supported by non-smartphones (basic Nokia S40 models and others) meaning your phone battery will last far, far longer if that's your main concern. Android devices can definitely connect through others via bluetooth for tethering, you would just need to test non-smartphone handsets for compatibility.

[Q] Using Samsung Tablet as Monitor for Mac Mini

Thanks for all the great info guys.
I have a question that I can't seem to find an answer.
I had my Galaxy Tab stolen along with my Macbook Air and need to replace.
This time I would like to get a fully spec'd Mac Mini and get the latest and greatest Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 or 12.1.
Anyone know how to get Samsung tablet to be used as a monitor for Mac Mini? I want to work off Tablet while connected to Mac Mini for
my video and audio work and then use the tablet later for web and other android stuff.
I would prefer a wired connection since Mac Mini has all kinds of ports that are fast.
Anyone know of a work around for this kind of setup?
I need to have both because of the heavy work I do in video and audio on Mac and the the heavy
research I do online with tablet. The pen would be a great help in both systems. I've seen on youtube that
tablets touch screen can be used on Macbooks.
Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan
Ever get any guidance?
Hey Dan --
I'm considering something similar for similar reasons (video/audio editing & writing/research) .... did you ever get any advice for this set up or give it a try? Curious how it worked out ... any and all appreciated.
