I searched and maybe, I missed it but the 3G Hack that you can use for faster g can it be used also on this phone and if so is the setup the same as others like the evo for instance.

Hey everyone,
Searched for an hour about this and read tons of posts that talked about Droid phones and some others, but nothing that seemed to apply to mine.
I am wondering if it is possible to tether my old Samsung Hue phone to my G tablet? I live pretty far out into the country, and this is the best way I have to get internet access. The Hue EVDO connection is always pretty fast and much better than the Hughesnet satellite connection I had before.
Is it something that can be done? If so, please let me know which ROM would be best for this application.
Appreciate any and all help!

I have a Tilt2 running windows mobile 6.5 and have tethered successfully using a tethering program found in the tilt2 section of xda.
Also winmo here......buy wifirouter for winmo
Samsung Hue is not a smartphone. Not going to be able to WiFi tethering.
Only going to be able to do USB tethering. While the G-Tab can act as a USB host, I don't know if it has all of the kernel modules and networking components necessary to do this. (What basically amounts to dial up networking)
You might consider getting a MiFi type device from your carrier (Alltel? Now Verizon?). Then you could do WiFI tethering through EvDo that way.
Same here - I want to tether using my Cricket Samsung Messager Touch via DUN when mobile. I know it can be done cause we mess with cellular connecting devices (GSM - at&t) at work, but I have no knowledge of the inner workings of linux/android, or the dial-up scripts needed for US-Cellular/Cricket.
Add my name to the list! I want to do Bluetooth tethering so when I'm on the road I can use my phones 3G service to get internet on my tablet.
Do any of the 3G Speed increase hacks (I read one that you have to add something to build.prop work for hte X2? My 3G speed honestly stinks, and i have full signal! It even stinks when im at work, which has Verizon Towers on the Building! At home i get about .33 Meg Down, .16 Meg up? Most i have seen is about 1.5 Down 2x since i had the phone.
I did this on my Nexus One and Nexus S, both on Tmobile, and It does work like a charm but I do beleive it is only for GSM devices......god i hate Verizon
I'm curious about this as well, but it seems like most of the people running 3G speed tweaks are on T-Mobile or other networks?
Also, I ran across a tutorial for pointing your 3G connection to OpenDNS servers. Has anybody here done this?
Hi all,
Any significant difference between the wifi only and wifi+3G? Plan to get a wifi version only soon. A bit worried as Samsung likes to do this, just like the old 7 inch tab and Galaxy S2.
Any wifi only user here can give some opinion? Thanks~
Not sure what you mean. Samsung likes to do what exactly?
I like my wifi only 10.1. I have a 6GB data plan on my Galaxy S2 and can tether all I want. It made sense to use the S2 as a wifi hotspot rather than add an additional device to my mobile plan. Your mileage may vary.
I have 10.1 wifi (GT-P7510) and I love it. My bud has the 3G version and it runs pretty much exactly the same. I like the development for the wifi one better. If I NEED internet on it and I'm not in a wifi area (I usually am), I just tether my phone to get interwebz.
My sister is getting ready to get her very first smarphone. She looked at several and the one she wanted that fit her budget was the S II. I know it is LTE but is HSPA+. Since I recently switched from Sprint to and ATT LTE device I am not familar with HSPA at all. Are the data speeds decent? She probably won't root this either so I was wondering how it is out of the box for a new user. Also any known issues to be aware of?
Dont worry she's probably not using the phone to run a server or to stream HD content so she'll be more than fine with the speed provided. Those speeds exceed the needs of twitter, fb, yt, navigation or any other use your sister will be giving to her phone.
Cheers

I would add there are 2 different AT&T Galaxy S2 one being i777 and the other is i727 (Skyrocket LTE) I would recommend the sgh-1777 but other people will tell you different....when you said " I know it is LTE but is HSPA+" did you mean NOT LTE? With LTE will be i727....GL
EDIT: There are some issues with the ICS update in the kernel here is a link with some info you can read just make sure before she does any updates do some research...

Hey everybody. I'm thinking of buying this tablet but I first want to know if it can use wifi and 4g at the same time, like the Download Booster feature on recent Samsung phones. This is a big deal for me as my internet connection is very poor (wifi signal is fine so things stay connected but won't load) and I want to smooth things out by using a 4g SIM. I know that I could switch between wifi and 4g when the pages aren't loading, but I want it to happen seamlessly. Thanks

I'm not 100% sure, but it seems that feature is not implemeted in Sony ROM yet.

You can leave both of them on, and tablet would decide which one to use. However you can't mix them together like Samsung does, that'd need a special piece of software to do that, just as @Rootk1t mentioned
