What the hell is a clear usb!? You're talking nonsense. As said, the A500 has an internal WiFi radio, so can connect to any access point for internet access.
Do you mean a USB 3G adapter, by any chance? If so, not with a stock ROM. Some custom ROMs do support this.

Here, let me Google that for you.
There, I found it. First hit.

No need to attack the guy. He asked a question. And it was not nonsense.
Thank you. But found out they sell a self powered hot spot that runs for 6 hours by itself. Asking because I'm hoping to use the tablet as a phone and in the car

You can't use the tablet as an actual phone. Best you can do is VOIP software like Skype.

The OP would have helped himself immeasurably by actually saying what he wanted instead of using some obscure brand name.

You need to remember that this forum has users from around the world and probably most users have no idea what Clear (as company) is. The question was ubiquitous, which you can see as everyone except you thought that he is asking about clear usb thumb drive or something.
derrickmd18 was also asked about clarification and the answer was still hard to understand.
Ok folks, let's not make something out of nothing. I wouldn't go so far as "attacking" somebody
Personally I was a little puzzled as well initially.
But to the answer, things are ify-ify when choosing USB 3 or 4g sticks. There's no promises it will work with your tab. Not unless somebody else has verified this. Also to mention, currently you have to run a PPP app I believe, to get a 3g stick to work. So this will now depend on if it's compatible with the app.
Best bet, make sure the stick has a "money back" option if it doesn't work.
The a500 does not have a GSM radio, so thus, it can't function as a GSM device. Will be Data only.

Ok. Because u can use the internet from my phone on it. But was looking at the 4g usb stick as a solution for use it as a phone. I was going to setup a phone number through skype and use that for calls and txt. I was looking at there usb sticks but called and that said they actually have a better option which is a stand alone hotspot device which has a battery and last for 5 hours off charge and uses the cigaret socket to recharge it. I have boost mobile now but I figured instead of me having internet at home through comcast I might as well pay the same thing for it on the go. I had clear a year ago and it was I think 4 or 6mb a second. I know it runs off sprint winmax network. I was going to get a sprint galaxy s2 flash it to boost and use the clear modem numbers on that for winmax but figured this was a better solution.

Yo all!!
ok.. i have been trying to get my phone to connect Via HTC sync V2 and latest V3 but have been told that it will not work as we are not using Sence? (FroydVillain 1.5)
if so... i need a little help....
With HTC Sync (before Froyd..), i could get the phone to use the computers internet.
Is there any way of doing this without Sync?
Cheers all
Simple as that! You have FV 1. 5!!!! Just connect the usb cable and enable tethering under >setting >wireless connection, you can now use wireless or 3G with your pc... ;-)

Im confused why would anyone want to use the computers internet connection on a phone when they are tethered?
I can see wanting your computer to use 3G but not the other way around. Am i missing something something here ?

You're definitely missing something,... For people without unlimited data plans maybe?

Not heard if it worked for anyone, so thought I'd bump this link again. It sounds like what you're after.
So I have had tehtering for as long as i have had t mobile and all of a sudden today they blocked it. now what?? is it just gone or is there a way to work around it??? my phone is rooted thanks
I haven't tried tethering today but I would think if you're rooted then you shouldn't have anything to worry about. Most roms come preinstalled with tethering apps and you can download them.
They CAN block it on a rooted device if they notice. Not much you can do about it.

Can they block pdanet? Bluetooth or USB tehter?

Same question for me. I use tethering sparingly, but just got blocked today. I'm fully rooted and on cm7 rc3, using the native tethering from cm7 - and this no longer works.
So are there any 3rd party apps that will bypass the block? I tried barnacle and wifi tether for root users, but couldn't seem to get either to even connect to the computer correctly.

A quick and dirty fix that works in a pinch for t-mobile is to create a new APN and make it epc.tmobile.com, then switch to it. I tried it the other day after they started sending me to that site where they tell you to add tethering to your plan. It worked.

Does that mean T-Mobile is using a new APN? I'm only asking because I use epc.tmobile.com all the time after flashing a new ROM.

I tried it on my galaxy s3 using t-mobile hot spot and it kept redirecting my me to sign up for the hot spot plan. However, I did use a different WiFi router app and was able to tether. I am rooted btw.
Tether did not work with my S3, but does with my G2 and current S2's Did not get a chance to try a different rom on the S3 before sale tho so not sure about that.

Probably a stupid question on XDA, but are you rooted and running custom roms on your S2s? I'm interested if anyone has tried this on stock firmware with one of thee non-root tethering apps. I would test myself but I can't remember the last time I had a phone with stock firmware.

There is also another topic explaining another method of replacing ur apn in the general subforum of the tmobile s3

Live throws a code stating that some items may not be available but playing and netflix green light
Updates you have to dl on ur pc then transfer it to ur xbox by disc, etc storage medium
I have also changed my dns servers but I can still use tmobiles dns and do both
I use to have a full live experience until the last 360 update and now something borked....nebody have ideas? Lol

Pass tmobile unlimited wifi hotspot bloock
this is my method. others my create threads bout it,but its mine!
1.download a vpn to your phone from the market(idc what you use)
2.turn it on (go figure)
3.turn on wifi hotspot
4. on firefox or chrome (if you arent using those,get one) download a user agent switcher.
5.switch user agent to another android device,others can work,but this way is always works
6. turn off vpn.
if you did everything correctly,you can tether still. this is how im writing this
The Vpn can be optional if you already can download a ua switcher. I only used it, cause I got blocked an that was the only way around it, that I could think of.
Its by a xda membr. Nt me

ur not spamming by any means...its just really hard to troubleshoot unless you. have the device in your hands
good thing is if you have data then there should be a way....
what was disconnecting the tether app or the vpn app?
if tether app then one of ur settings is not right and if it the vpn then youll have to check the other free and see if you cant get any of them to work.....maybe the tun.ko installer for droid vpn but idk if that helps
can you usb tether while ua blocking?
