I've read it's possible to make phone calls now if you have the galaxy tablet on at&t. This almost makes it tempting to buy this and and use it as a phone instead of my captivate.
I have tethering on my phone, can I hook my Captivate to it via usb and get online that way instead of paying for a data package for the tablet?
You can do this on AT&T and T-Mo Tabs after you flash a European ROM to it. Just slap the SIM from your Captivate into the Tab and you're all set.
If you can tether via your phone then all you need to is turn on the wifi of the tab, no need to connect it via USB. Not sure if you can do that anyway.

Yes you can load up a euro rom and then follow rotos guide for sim unlocking. Youre all set after that.

Are you on the right plan? Did it work before? What did you change?

I have spent 2 days on the phone with customer care and they act like they have no clue what the device is. They think it is the phone and not the tablet. The problem I'm having is a Rep told me u can do a non contract data line for the tab and pay $40 a month. Ever since they added the data line I haven't had internet. They have confirmed that I have a tab but they don't know what data plan I should be on. What happens is every time I try to connect the the market or anything that uses data it fails and ask me to retry. I made sure I have the correct apn setting and its still not working
out of Apple semen came the HTC Evo
Do you have SIM card in your Tab?
Where did you get the Tab from? At the store? or online?
Did the internet work in 3G at the store? what about with wifi?
Did you sign up for any plans when you got the Tab?
You should be on one of the web connect plans for the Tab.

having same issue here. Data plan worked yesterday but have not been able to connect today. Only goes to MY.TMOBILE.COM. Inserted sim in HD2 and it works properly.
Cant receive MMS or access data plan on Galaxy Tab. Shows EDGE network is connected. Can make calls, send and receive text. Can send MMS.
Any ideas?
If anyways else is has flashed their Tab to make calls on Tmobile US did you have to make any changes to network settings? APN name is showing as "T-mobile US 310 260"
Thanks for any info you may be able to provide.
Sounds like you guys are most likely not on the right data plan. As stated earlier you need to be on the web connect data plan. If you are on a voice plan plan with the android data feature it won't work. Or more specifically it may work for a bit then stop working once the imei is filtered.

Thanks for the straight forward simply explanation. Why isnt there more people complaining of this after they flashed to JK1 for voice service?
Here is my situation.
I have 2.3.7, stock, rooted, using Pete's 2.6.35.14 kernel. I installed wireless tether 2.0.8 pre-1 and set it to use bluetooth tethering. It works great, even via 4G. My issue however, is that it only works great to 1 device. My laptop, or my Galaxy Tab 10.1, connect perfectly fine and there are no issues. If I try to connect the other device (whichever other, doesn't matter the order from what I've tried) it won't work.
If I have my laptop connected first, then on my Tab, it will say it is connected in the bluetooth settings menu, but there is no internet access and there is no bluetooth tethering icon down by the clock.
If I have the Tab connected first, then try my laptop it will also say connection successful but then down on the taskbar the internet icon will have the little exclamation point and it will say no internet access.
Soooo..... is there a way to connect multiple devices via bluetooth? I really really hope so, but perhaps this is just a limitation of the PAN profile in bluetooth, or maybe the phone is only using the DUN profile or something. But in all my searching I haven't found an answer and I just don't know myself. Any devs out there know?
Why not just use Wifi to tether multiple devices?

Because 4G tethering via wifi doesn't work (in infrastructure mode, anyway), unless you pay the $29.99 to Sprint, which I am currently doing. But in my opinion, it is BS that they charge this. And given I very rarely use tethering, I hate paying for it.

You know Pete has the wireless tether fix that unlocks the sprint tethering.

This only unlocks the 3G tethering though, not 4G. Right? Or did I miss where that was also fixed?
I thought on nexus s 4g was free tethering on google own app on 3g and 4g?

Nope, not true. When it first was out, 3G was.... but subsequent updates have stopped even that.
I think the max on Bluetooth tethering is something like 2 MB download so make sure your getting all you can.

No other thoughts on this?
Yeah David279, it probably isn't fast enough to get full 4G speeds, but still plenty fast for the little bit I'd use it.... oh well, I guess I'll keep paying $29.99 a month until someone figures out how to do infrastructure in wifi tether on the Nexus S (or until I buy the prime if it ends up on Sprint).
Have u try the latest beta of wifi tether

This is just a shot in the dark but I was hoping to avoid having to buy a sim card for my crappy travel phone again. Am I correct in assuming that, apart from WiFi, there's no way I'll be able to use my Epic while in Australia?
Contact Sprint.

It could be a feature not enabled in your plan. I would check there first
It's not part of my plan. I'm trying to do it "on the sly".
I was hoping I could get Wi-Fi tether to make the Nexus 4 appear as an access point, and not ad-hoc, but I haven't been able to get it to do that. Anyone else had luck?

Can anyone help?? I've looked everywhere. I can connect to the hotspot, just not to the internet. Same thing happens with the hotspot on my Galaxy Tab. Both are with ATT.

AT&T actively blocks teather if you don't pay for it. Not sure of a work around as they are blocking it from there end not the phones end. That said some of the thethering apps claim to be able to defeat this, the one Koush made, clockworkmod tether, comes to mind but it only has a 14 day free trial, $4.99 after that. It also requires a desktop client to be installed. Also is this plain AT&T or Straight Talk AT&T? Straight Talk limits you to 100 MB of data per day with a 2 GB cap. If you go over either they throttle you to 2G speeds for the rest of the month.
Regular ATT, not straight talk. Looks like the clockworkmod tether is usb only.....
