Tried connecting two separate devices (Galaxy Tab 10.1 and a laptop) with the built in portable wifi hotspot on the international i9300. The devices are able to connect, but I'm unable to browse the web (or skype) with either of the connected devices. Tried with security on and off, no luck. Previously on Galaxy Note, didn't have any issues using the same method. I'm with Rogers and I'm sure they haven't changed their policy in allowing tethering with their data plans. Any help our pointers in fixing this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Shiraz

Hey there
When Tethering or using the hotspot what security is there for your pc? I mean is there any firewalling at the phone?
Also, in general when connected via 3G etc what ports are exposed inbound to the phones IP address?
Thanks

Why don't you try driodwall to restrict applications.
It's free from the market but i think it requires root access.

To be honest I think you don't really need to worry much about it. Security should be at the PC level by using a reputable and up to date security program.
Also, although I have heard about security threats from apps etc, just using it for tethering is not effected by this I think, as you are just using the data.
Ever since my home 3g modem blew up 4 months ago I've been using my old S1 as the sole home wifi modem without issue.

Why did you not just use Google?????:

Thanks ntop and sxi200. I was thinking, if you tether then your usb port gets the data in, Im not sure if that can be firewalled, maybe it can. Droidwall, perfect thanks
As for why i didn't Google it, my data connection was woeful and googling was too painful. Got a new contract this afternoon which was why i asked. If you had to Google the answer yourself then why bother replying with sarcasm?

P.s. I wasn't talking about public hotspots, even they have a firewall on their uplink. What i was asking was if using your sgs2 as a modem which has no firewall then what is to stop inbound connections especially when tethering via usb. Droidwall. Thanks

I just bought my S3 not too long ago and have noticed that I can't seem to tether to my MacBook Pro under OS X, but it seems to work fine under Windows. I was wondering if anyone else experienced this and if there was a fix? Loving the phone but it's really a deal breaker for me if this is a consistent issue. Thanks!

What do you mean by "tether" ? Are you trying to get network connection going through the S3 on your mac via USB tether? Or are you talking about file transfer?

Foxfi is good enough for systems where adhoc networks don't matter. The only way I have been succussful with tethering on the touch pad is with root and Wifi Tether app. Just Google it and side load it as it is not in the market. I hope that helps.
instead of using androids built in wifi settings to connect, I use "wifi analyzer". its free in google play, and allows you to see and do things that you can't using stock wifi connection settings. You can set different channels for a 5ghz as well as b/g/n 2.4ghz, as well as reconnect options etc etc. it's a nice way to see which channels are best to connect with.
Thanks,I will give that a try

Sometimes the TP doesn't see the phone,but my iPod touch,netbook and desktop see it.

try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hal9000.zt180_adhoc_switcher&hl=en, it's what i use to tether to my touchpro 2 phone
Not rooted atm,when I was rooted,my TP didn't see it either

just because a device is rooted does not mean it will automatically see an ad-hoc connection from another android device. ad-hoc/peer to peer connections from droid to droid are tricky and flakey alot of times or just wont work at all depending on the kernel. everyone usually thinks that tethering and hotspot are the same thing. they are not. there is a big difference between ad-hoc and infrastructure connections.
FWIW, I have zero issues tethering my TP using the stock tethering feature of my Galaxy Nexus.

+1. That was my point. Ad hoc is touch and go device to device. I had to try several combinations to get my Samsung E4GT to tether well with my TP. The OP may want to check the LG forums to see what is working with that phone.
Thanks!I'll look around.

While I don’t know much about the OPs ROM, I was simply trying to say he might want to try the built-in tethering—assuming it’s available—versus some third-party app.
I don't think stock Lucid has a built in tethering

It's a feature only for HTC devices (precisely, it is a feature of Sense, the proprietary interface of HTC)

There is USB and Bluetooth tethering of your wifi or 3G connection. Thats internet passthrough to me. (Typing this while my S3 is connected via wifi, and both an iPad and Win7 laptop bleutooth tethered to my S3 using the S3 internet connection at the same time).

I guess he is talking about the way around. Internet of Laptop used by S3, I guess there are apps out there that can do this, e.g. mHotspot or connectify
I've just upgraded my GT-P7510 to Android 4.04
I want to install a USB Internet Dongle, but this version of Android doesn't have 'Mobile Networks' available in the Wireless and Networks Settings, so I can't install the Dongle
How do I enable 'Mobile Networks' so that I can get my USB Internet Dongle working.
Is there a later version of Android 4 for the GT-P7510 with Mobile Network support and where can can I get it from
Many thanks

The issue is not with the version of Android but with the variant of the device. P7510 means WiFi only tablet without 3G capability and therefore no mobile network settings.
Cheers.

Hi John
I found this out yesterday from another member and can't believe that 3G isn't a standard feature.
Is there an application that will give me 3G Networking, I was reading that XDA Senior Member Bhaskar1109 had figured out a way of bypassing this incompatibility, allowing for any 3G broadband dongle to connect to any rooted Android tablet, would this still apply to a non-3G version of the tablet.
Thanks
Regards
Steve
You know there are 2 versions of galaxy tab 10.1 right? The P7510, which is the WiFi ONLY version and the P7500, which is the WiFi + 3g version. You currently have the P7510, which does not have a modem. If you want to use 3g, then you have to get the P7500. AFAIK there is no way to bypass this incompatibility. If there is such a thing, why would people even buy the 3g version then?
