[Q] Can I use a 3G dongle? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys i bought a Nexus 7 32 GB Wifi tablet, but im starting to feel the need for 3g unfortunately wifi is not always readyily available in my area. would i i be able to use my 3g dongle via an OTG cable so i can still download and go online? is there any special setup that i need to do, currently running stock

Seems interesting.
I doubt that would work.

[Q] Vodafone Dongle

I have a N7 and a Vodafone dongle but I cant get the thing to work? I have rooted my N7 and downloaded PPP app but nothing. When i run the VF dongle on my laptop i have to insatll the VMC lite software. Will this or can this ever work?
I tried the same thing on my missus tf300t and the short answer is no. Apparently it is possible but not without considerable ballache. It's far easier tether or use another device as a MiFi hotspot.

Probably but can't you just plug in a wifi adapter to your Desktop instead?

Nexus7+ Galaxy Nexus on plan
Have query in regards to not being very familiar with using wifi, and with tethering a tablet to a phone.
Have GSM Galaxy Nexus on 2Gb monthly plan and being given a Nexus7 for Christmas. I figured they would make a good pair.
What I want to know is how quick will my Galaxy Nexus battery drain if I am tethering the tablet, or is it unlikely that I will really use the tablet like that often. I just figure as I am reasonably new to smartphones and never had a tablet, I could do with some advice about how they typically get used so I can purchase the Nexus& with Sim slot if that is recommended.
So far as I can tell, I will probably mostly use the tablet at home when the phone is plugged in, and if I do want to use the tablet out and about, I should be able to get a couple of hours tethering out of the phone battery anyways. I have only purchased the wifi version at the moment (only one available) but I would like to hear what some more experienced people have to say about this. Do I really need mobile data on my tablet?
Am I going to be kicking myself for a fool later if I do not get it?
Any help would be much appreciated.

[Q] Wifi tether apps

Hi everyone, I'm looking for an app or a way that I can use my vzw galaxy Nexus to tether my nexus 10. I've used my gnex to tether a Xoom and other phones but can't get it to work with the 10. Btw, both are rooted.
Any one have any suggestions?

I use both wifi tether and foxi fi neither one are working. They work with my lap top and foxifi used to work with the xoom.
Two thoughts
1. Make sure you Nexus in not set to 5gh WiFi only and see if that helps.
2. Isn't Verizon tethering now free? I don't use Verizon so I am not 100 percent sure. If I am right check and see if it works with their app.
Good luck.

What are you trying to accomplish by tethering or making it a WiFi hotspot? There would be no data connection to share.

I don't believe you can have a WiFi connection and access point on at the same time with android. Windows 7 has the miniport driver that allows this, but I think it requires certain hardware features built in that android devices might not have. I've heard this question asked a lot but no solutions.

There are several apps in the Play Store that do USB tethering. I don't know if they can get data from WiFi though. Search for USB tethering and try some.

EasyTether works with the nexus 7 but I'm using linux on my laptop so can't vouch for windows. However, it should work if you follow their directions.
