If I have other wi-fi devices, can I tether them to my 3G AT&T plan of my Galaxy Note? I am currently paying for the 2 GB monthly plan from AT&T.

Yes, I did it yesterday.
As the others mentioned - Yes you can with no problems. I'm actually using it on my laptop 90% of the time as the upload speed is quicker than my wifi upload speed. I have a 12mb down and 1.5mb up on wifi and 2.6mb and 2.2mb up on data.
Using AT&T also.
Will this flag for the Infamous "Upgrade service letter" or is it hidden?
On my Iphone 4 it would trigger the letter to be sent when tethering.
Using it to tether to my laptop to do some work anywhere. My kid is using the connection to watch Netflix on my tablet.

Or you can try ye olde Barnacle unrooted. Or indeed the
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/. This provides one with more options than the built in hotspot...
Although, it does say you 'may need acustom kernel', but given the effort involved in downloading it, it has to be worth having a fiddle..
I use it all the time...htc hd2
Try the Foxfi software, no root needed and able to tether my ASUS Prime...awesome
I'm with AT&T and I was able to tether.
No upgrade service letter so far.
You have to be careful not to exceed your data plan limit though.
I've been tethering for years since my old Samsung blackjack. I use anywhere between 3-4gb a month on average or about 5 with heavy use.
My suggestion for everyone is use it but don't abuse it. I'm on a unlimited plan and have never been throttled.

Can you tether N7 (not via bluetooth) to an android phone?
Yes via portable hotspot. Shame I only have 1gb data limit , bloody Vodafone!

I am on Three UK and have been for 2 years, rubbish Customer Service but hey they offer Tethering free with no extra charges and I used it loads via my iPhone4s
Just sold the 4s and am using a Galaxy Ace (lost job, needed cheaper handset) and I hope to tether using the Ace to my Nexus 7.
The unlimited data and the tethering are the only reason I stay with Three UK, used to be with O2 (far superior Customer Service)..lets hope the Galaxy ace tethers fine to my new tablet upon delivery.... :fingers-crossed:
I use the FoxFi app. It's a simple, painless wifi tethering method for Android. I installed it on my Razr Maxx, set the password, started the hotspot, and within moments, it appears on my tablet. It's able to keep up with 4g speeds, too.
Okay. I've searched XDA and Google, and even posted in another thread here but never got an answer. I am leaving VZW for T Mobile. I am expecting my Nexus 4 to arrive this coming week. I plan on rooting the N4 pretty much as soon as I get it. I have also read lots of posts regarding difficulties tethering a laptop to an N4 on Tmo.
My question is:
Will I be able to tether (wifi or BT) my N7 to my Tmo N4? If so, will i have to use any special apps?
I have had success using PdaNet+ on my VZW phones to tether my N7, but I need to know if Tmo will flag me for the N7 like they do with others for their laptops. My daily usage includes the Slacker Radio and NetFlix apps. i also have OnLive, but didn't typically use it that much due to high latency issues in the Lynnhaven area of Virginia Beach. If absolutely needed, I am open to the VPN option, but I would need instruction as to how to do that (like do I set up the VPN on the N7 or the N4?) but I would prefer, if possible, to just tether normally.
Thanks in advance. Btw, please no "it works for me" posts. If you're going to answer, please provide relevant information(i.e. HOW it works for you). Thanks again!

i'm on Orange UK (aka. EE now also incorporating T-Mobile) and couldn't originally tether either my dell NB or playbook -- that is, they could connect to the N4 wifi hotspot but no data transfer nor internet access was possible. this was despite my being able to tether successfully on my old HD2 using the same account.
turned-out i needed to phone Orange and have them activate tethering on the phone, i received an "service update" text and restarted, since when it's worked a treat on both devices. there was no charge for this and i was told that orange imposes no restrictions on tethering outside of the existing account data cap, in my case 1GB.
t-mobile may operate a different policy.
EDIT: just realized, Norfolk ... Virginia (not UK), doh!
I'm on tmobile US on the unlimited plan and I'm able to, love it the only thing battery sucks :/

Truly Unlimited blocks the tethering feature from being added to your account. However, since the Nexus 4 is a stock device and doesn't connect to the network using the tethering APN while tethering is enabled, you should be able to tether any device to your Nexus 4 without issue.

Yes you can tether to the Nexus 4 on T-Mo. I don't it a lot but I used to the tether to the Nexus 4 a couple times when no WiFi was available.

Well that's why I'm asking the question. There is no WIFI at my work so without tethering to my N4, I will have no way to use my N7 online. Like I said in the OP. I watch Netflix everyday during down time and stream Slacker Radio while I'm working. I work security on 9.5 hour shifts. Netflix and Slacker just make the day go by.
Just for anyone wondering, I have had no issues tethering my Nexus 7 with my Nexus 4. Been doing it for a couple weeks now with no issues. Actually, with Verizon 4G, my data speeds would fall of rapidly as the day went on, dropping down below 1 Mbps by noon. With T-Mobile's HSPA+, I have been getting between 8 Mbps and 12 Mbps down and around 2 Mbps up consistently all day every day.

youll be able to tether until they catch you, then they will force you to buy the tethering plan if you want to tether further.

From what I have read throughout my searches on XDA and Google, it seems that as long as you are tethering another mobile device, i.e. a tablet, they don't seem to be able to tell. I have also read some accounts saying not to use "desktop mode"in your browser. I have been using Chrome, Firefox, Netflix, OnLive, and even BitTorrent (small files so far) with no issues so far.

If anyone else has had different experiences with similar usage, and only concerning tethering tablets and other mobile devices via the Nexus 4, please post them for others (and me) to learn from.
I was just told by an at&t representative that I am not allowed to tether with my unlimited data plan. There must be a way around their detection system. I have been searching and saw some people say that the pdanet+ app works.
So does anyone here have experience with tethering on at&t and not being detected?
Its a crap shoot. Nobody outside AT&T really knows how their detection system works. I got caught because I let my daughter tether her iPhone, so it was just too obvious for ATT. Even if you use the pdanet thingamggie, if you tether your apple Mac, iPhone, or Windows machine, they can easily tell you are tethering.
On the other hand, I have tethered my Android tablets, downloaded tablet centric apps, even my Samsung Chrome book and they haven't noticed, so far, knock on wood.

They can see your browser's user agent. Tethering to only android devices will lower your chances of getting flagged.

I've tethered to other phones without an issue. I will not attach a computer to my phone as it would use way too much data. At&t is looking for data usage and browser information. Not saying that at&t won't figure it out, but only using mobile devices helps.

Ok. So I discovered after taking out my three contract with unlimited data that they do not allow tethering. Tthis is an really bad inconvenience for me as I spend time at my friends who does not have home internet.
Anyway I setup a vpn on my router at home which I connect to on my phone, and with the use of clockwork tether, I can tether my phone via usb to the laptop and it works fine. No issues there.
the problems start when I try to tether wirelessly. I get no internet access. If I connect my 3DS to my phone, I can access the eshop and can connect to the nintendo network, but when I try to play online on mario kart for instance, I get disconnected.
Im assuming wifi tethering requires more than just enabling it on my phone, like it does with usb tethering.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue and could they possibly guide me through how to do it?
Cheers.
Are you on the One Plan? If so you should be allowed to tether. I am.

Im not on the One Plan, no. I didn't realise mobile carriers actually put blocks in place to stop tethering. I had no issues tethering with my Galaxy S2 when I was on T-Mobile, so I never even considered it when I switched to Three and got my Galaxy Note 3.
The only way to tether on 3 is to pay an extra monthly fee with data restrictions or upgrade to the One Plan.

Well like I said, I can tether no problem when im connected to my VPN, it's just wifi tethering that im still having problems with. I refuse to pay an extra £5 a month for a measly 1GB of tethering data, its absolutely scandelous, and Three won't upgrade me to the One Plan until my contract expires, which isnt for another 23 months. So this is what im stuck with.
There must be a way to tether via wifi while connected to a vpn.
Sorry mate, i cant really help. I'm surprised they won't allow you to upgrade though. After all, it means more money for them.

Yeah, I kinda expected it though. A number of people have reported the same thing, not just from Three either.
Anyone have any solutions?
I read something about changing iptables or something using a terminal, but I have no idea how to go about this. If someone could explain, that would be great?
