Hi fellow developers and Tablet S buddies
I am now figuring ways to make my Tablet S stay connected to the net whole time but the problem now is it does not have 3G.
And meanwhile, I am not planning to change any of my device into hotspot as it is super battery consuming.
Anyone here knows how to solve this issue?
thanks!
3g ap have owne battrery
or a battrery package for your cell phone

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.
I was wondering about this.
I have been using 3G internet on various android phones - HTC Legend, Samsung Captivate, Optimus 2x, and now Samsung Galaxy S2.
It seems that i can't get a good internet connection.
I believe this is related to the ISPs in my country, but just to make doubly sure, I want to ask all of you, if you are facing the problems below:
a) Internet connection dies abruptly, with indication that there is data up, but no data down.
b) a slow mobile data startup (sometimes up to minutes long) in an area where 3G connectivity has been previously good.
c) disruptive internet connection while downloading apps, that dies off, forcing you to restart all over again.
d) a consistent pattern where 3G dies after certain amounts of data downloaded or certain amount of time.
e) having to constantly go airplane mode and back, just so your 3g internet is alive again.
f) Inability to multitask on your 3G mobile internet.
g) tethering causes death of 3G connection when done with more than one device. Also can't tether to a single device while surfing on phone - as this will cause connection to die.
h) 3G connection dies and restarts by itself. (even in a location where signal is not a problem).
I love android, but the instability of 3G on Android is frustrating. I personally don't think Nokia or iPhone has these problems (could be wrong).

Phone - SGS2
Telco - DiGi
Internet speed - 1MBPS according to speed test.
Is this an APN problem? Telco problem? or OS problem?

You said it

Thats what i would be checking first as its no use asking if users ten thousand miles away are having the same problems . It would be well reported if so .
You may also try a change of modem .

i really hope the title made since but if it didnt hear is what im wondering is possible to do in any way with any app. i know how to use my G2 as a wifi and usb hotspot via tmobiles blazing fast 2meg service here in louisiana but what i actually would like to be able to do is have my home charter internet from my wifi router to my G2 and from the G2 to my new desktop via usb cable (doesnt have wifi and im out of usb wifi adapters). So basically .....Netgear wifi router>HTC G2>Usb cable>Desktop. Is this even a remote possibilty or am i stuck using the 2meg (5gig limit) tmobile connection? thanks for any help that can be offered, veritasaequita
So you're essentially attempting to utilize the phone as a WiFi adapter, correct? If that is the case, I'm pretty sure you can connect to WiFi and then connect the phone to your PC in internet tethering mode.
that is exactly what im wanting to do, im gonna try it real quick. i hadnt tried it because as i recalled when wifi connects usb greys out but i could be thinking of wifi tethering doing that. ima give it a quick try and post back. thanks for lending a hand
You're very welcome
I've tried tethering to various Android phones with little success, the one that worked would get very hot and drain the battery quickly. I really wanted to be able use the TP away from home and not have go hunting for unsecured wifi access points (few and far between here) so I bought the MF60 in the hopes that it would be compatible and... it is! both with Android and WebOS it shows up as a wifi point and the TP connects without any problem.
For me it's the ideal solution, Android Tablets with 3g/4g are rare and very expensive so for less than the cost of a cheap phone I've got a mobile wifi access point that will be useful even if and when I upgrade from the TP.
Wish mine got the alleged dongle firmware!
It's a great little unit alright. I've had mine plugged into the transformer for years (damn the battery!). But only after I bought it did I discover you can't plug it into a laptop / PC USB port and use it as a network access device. :crying:
I had a great "new" wireless-N hardware firewall / gigabit switch / router, that would ONLY accept it's internet interface on one of the RJ45 ports. And that feature rendered my beautiful HW firewall completely useless.
I heard there was a version with different firmware available elsewhere on the planet that did what I wanted but I gave up looking for the fw after a long search. Mine's the Australian version.
Ahhh... So I got over the pain in time. Otherwise a fantastic little unit indeed!!
I got a THL 5000 today,when it connects to my Wifi it disconects after a short time.
If I try to connect to the internet it does not work, even when the wifi icon is on at the top of the screen.
Anybody had this?
Please Help.
Thanks

I have a THL 5000 too. Same issue. In my case I notice that it does not happen everywhere. I get disconnect at home, and at one other place. At other places like work, starbucks barnes and noble no disconnect. I tried almost everything to get around the issue and have had success a few different way. This issues is not limited to THL 5000 its many other android phones running Kit Kat. My ipad 2 has the same issues and so does my vista laptop but the issues occur only at home. This got me to think it may be router issue incompatibiity since some devices work perfectly and some dont I have three that disconnect in the same location. My ipad one has no issues my ipad air has no issues, just THL 5000, vista laptop, and ipad 2 have chronic disconnect.
My first way around this issues was to change the security setting on my router to WEP from WPA/WPA2 (both versions of WPA gave me disconects) when I did this they no longer disconneced from WIFI The issue here is that WEP is not very secure, but it solved the issue. I had checked for firmware update on the router but it reported they were all up to date. My devices are up to date too.
So if you are ok with WEP security it may fix the issue for you.
I personally did not want to keep using WEP, because my friend showed me how he can hack into my wifi. So I continued my search for another work around. I found that a wifi extender works. I found one for $30 at walmart and I had my phone link to the extender and the extender link to the router. This worked well for all devices and allowed me to maintain WPA security feature. So while not a fix it is a work around and not expensive.
A third solution is just buy a new router, but from what I gather other router have issues too, Nighthawk AC 1900 I heard has disconnect issues. So if you go via new router method keep in mind you want to save he receipt until you know for sure disconnect issue is gone. Basically its a compaibility issue. Also this may be most expensive route.
fourth methob if you phone had a previous Andorid OS (previous to Kitkat) you can try and restore a older version of the OS. Many have had success with that. In my case It came only with Kitkat so I could not place an older version.
Fifth method get a new phone. Since I could not return the phone I personally just run my phone via range extender at home and this works for me. I found a netgear range extender for $30 on amazon.
So while I don have a solution for you, there may be some work around that might work for you.
