Hi guys
i am considering the Xoom or the Galaxy tab 10 inches tablet but I am not sure I want to take another data plan when I can use my existing 3G plan on my HTC desire.
Does anybody know whether I can use my Desire's internet connection on the Xoom or other Android tablets in the same way as I use my Desire as a modem for my laptop? I think the Xoom lacks a USB port, but I could probably turn my Desire into a wifi hotspot. can anybody think of reasons why I would not be able to do that?
cheers
do a quick search. or look at the 1st page. It can be wifi tethered just like any other device. People are also running Bluetooth tethers no problem.
As long as you have WiFi tethering properly setup on your Desire, it can be shared to the Xoom just like any other computer.
bluetooth tethering? interesting idea i hadnt thought of before

thanks shame the Xoom doesn't have a usb port or I could have charged the desire while using it as a modem at the same time!!!!
I have tethered my Xoom to my rooted Inc no problems... My Inc is on my company unlimited data plan. So I will use it a lot except when the 4G upgrade happens.
So I think I remember reading a while back when the EVO came out that people were able to get on the PAM plan and were being given/sent out overdrive (pucks)?
Anyone ever get this? Is it still attainable? How well does the 3G/4G puck work comparatively to the EVO in Wifi Tethering mode (better I hope)?
Reason I ask in the EVO section is that it was an item that was offered to people with EVO and PAM on their plans..
I am considering this route to tether my Tablet, as lately the areas I frequent aren't getting a very good signal on my EVO enough to use the internet.
Any help or suggestions appreciated.

I'm running mikfroyo 4.5, and I'm stoked about this rumor of the xoom wifi hitting sams club next month for 540. I loved the demo unit at the best buy closest to me, but of course in that one spot I didnt get 3g and I didnt bother trying 4g (pretty scarce in CT). Can anyone confirm that the sprint mobile hotspot app can give wifi to the xoom? I was reading another thread where the wifi tether app didnt so im a tad nervous.
I know the evo works with the xoom, but I use the built in cm hotspot.

I am running the Sprint Lovers ROM on my EVO and have no issues giving WiFi to my Xoom. Cause there is no way I paying for the ridiculous data rates with Verizon, especially since I have unlimited 3G/4G through Sprint.

The issue using the Evo with the Xoom is the people using the Wireless Tether app, which in that case puts the Evo into 'Ad-Hoc' mode, whereas using built in tether on a AOSP ROM, for example, makes a normal 'Infrastructure' mode that the Xoom can connect to.
As I understand it, that is.
sorry someone answered this for me on the evo forum thanks..
I use fresh and setup wireless tether on 4g and the xoom flies with it.
I have a nexus one and am curious I'd the xoom can be tethered to it. I use wireless tether.
i too have the nexus one, I also have the zoom and thether them all the time via the nexus one portable hot spot mode. Works great!

One of the things I really like about having the Xoom is it functions as a portable Verizon hotspot on my crappy sporadic at&t service on my Atrix. So yes, you can connect your Nexus to it or any other device that has wireless b or g. As of now, Verizon does not have a separate plan for tethering. It's included with any of their data plans.
Currently using Mikshift (latest) with BC's 1.8 kernel, although i don't really know if these has anything to do with my problem.
I have 4G on, and i have a fairly consistent "fair" connection. however, whenever i try to do a wired tether, as soon as i select the "tether" option on the list, the 4g connection drops, tries to reconnect and fails, then reconnects again as soon as i get out of tether mode.
tethering does work, but only with a 3G connection
is this a sprint policy, or is there something going on here? I'm paying $10 extra for stupid 4G, i better be able to tether with it.
Tethering with 4G right now, using PdaNet. Do it all the time.
You can't tether 4g with the built in sprint tether, you need to use a third party app. And for some reason the free third party apps don't work in 3g, so you have to bounce back and forth.

Thanks for the responses.
I actually just opted to just 3rd party, easytether. Anyone know why 4g cannot be tethered? Is it just sprint being stingy?

Even with wireless tether I get a slow connection with 4 g I think they cap it
Wireless tether seems to work fine in both 3g and 4g modes for me, no problems here I haven't seen any type of cap.

Actually the $10 for Premium Data is what everyone now pays who either activated a new smartphone, placed one on their MIN or upgraded to one on of after 01/30/11. You were fed a nice pile of steaming BS thinking the extra $10 was for 4G. Think about all those customers who don't live within the Clear WiMAX footprint nor travel to one. They too forked out $10/month. I'd suggest getting Easy Tether Pro from the market and use that instead of the default app on the HTC EVO Shift 4G.
Sprint does not cap data usage on 4G devices. It is really unlimited...for now.
Not through the actuall device I get good speeds through the phone but when I use the wireless tethering to my laptop it doesn't even let me download anything past 200 KBs that's pretty slow considering when I use the phone it downloads way way faster than that.
