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.
Hello,
Is it possible to tether my gtab to a non-smart phone such as a Motorola Z9 on a 3G network? (bluetooth or wired)
If it is possible, I would like to call my carrier to see how much the tethering charges are on a non-smart phone.
My Blackberry for work is only an 8320 on GSM. I heard it is practically useless to tether on GSM. Maybe I can talk someone into upgrading me to 3G. If that is the case, can a 3G Blackberry tether a gtab?
I would prefer to tether from my own phone.
Thanks for any info.

I'm looking to pick up a EVO 3D as my Desire decided to commit suicide.
It'll be a Rogers GSM version and next week I'm flying to Europe for a couple of weeks. With my Desire, running Oxygen, I could disable Mobile Data and keep WiFi on so I wouldn't need to worry about data roaming charges.
Since I don't have the unit yet, I thought I would ask before making the purchase and also because there's no ROMs for it yet that might add more options.
Thanks!
Before u turn wifi on turn mobile data off
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App

That doesn't really make sense.. because if there's a wifi signal, than the device other than the phone should just connect to the wifi router and not the phone.
WiFi tethering, to my understanding, is only beneficial if there's no wifi signal and then you can just use your phone's mobile data to browse the internet.

LOL....i'm sorry. I'm really just a noob asking stupid questions. I dont really know the difference between those connections. Thanks for the reply. i'm always looking for advantages and new ideas.
I have a jailbroken Iphone 3gs and I know I can get by having to pay AT&T for personal hotspot but what I am stuck on is being able to pair my idevice to my rooted NT to enable use of nook outside a wi-fi coverage area.. Any Ideas or developments in enabling bluetooth capabilities w/ NT... Thanks
Most people would use a wifi tether app on their phone to tether their Nook for mobile internet

The term for what you are describing is "tethering." There are a few threads on the subject. I don't have an iPhone, so I can't test what kind of network it broadcasts, or what app is best to allow tethering.
There are a few threads on the subject:
Information on Ad-Hoc networks
iPhone-Specific Thread
General Information
My rooted NT can use wifi hotspot from my moto defy(cm7 rom)
Its fine!
I use PDA NET on my iphone 4 to create a wifi hotspot that I connect my NT to. It works really well.
PDANet on jailbroken iPhone 4s. Find it in Cydia.
Works on all my devices in any 3G or 4G area..
I know that the Xperia S 3G cannot work on Tmboile but I am stuck in a 2 year contract with them that started fairly recently (due to certain family ciorcumstance).
I was wondering if there were some work arounds to get 3G speeds on the phone via Tmboile?
Is there a rom I can download or software that will enable my phone to work with Tmboile's 3g network? Perhaps some type of bootloader?
If not, what about wifi hotspots? Can I by a wifi hotspot and take it with me wherever i go in order to accesss the internet on my xperia via Tmobile? If so, how much does a wifi hotspot cost, and is it a monthly plan?
Would 2G work on the phone with Tmboile? If so, can I still stay connected to the internet 24/7 and get RSS feeds, news, surf the web, emails, etc etc by using the broweser on the Xperia S? Do i need a data plan to make 2G work via Tmboile?
Your help is very appreciated.

From what I understand, the Xperia S will not work on T-Mobile's 3G but 2G only.
However, AT&T 3G seems to work on this device with some tweaks (which I have no idea what to do).
I also have T-Mobile and I absolutely love the S' design. I might have to move to AT&T...
