Hi there,
I have a 32GB 3G Nexus 7 and a Samsung Galaxy SII.
I want to use my 3G Nexus 7 as a hotspot for my Galaxy SII. I have searched for this feature everywhere in the device, but couldn't find it.
I have tried some apps such as:
___ FoxFi (WiFi Tether w/o Root): Stopped working as I turn tethering on
___ WiFi HotSpot / WiFi Tether: Doesn't work at all
___ 1-Click WiFi Tether No Root: Works well but my Samsung Galaxy SII wasn't able to obtain IP Address through the Tethering
___ Wifi Hotspot & USB Tether Lite: The same as 1-Click WiFi Tether No Root

Is there anyway to enable Wi-Fi Tethering on my Nexus 7 as a hotspot?
NOTE: I don't want to root my Nexus 7

I tried everything too but to no avail. Simply put, as far as anyone knows, there is no way to enable this function on Nexus 7 at least on AT&T
There is a workaround
But, I don't want to go that way

No Good news after the update to Android 4.2.2 !!!!!!
Still not working.
Why does not Google solve it ?
I consider this lack unacceptable

Probably because part of being allowed on a carrier's network is that tethering is locked down.

You can work round your problem by using a MIFI. In case you do not know about this product;- It is smaller than any cell-phone. Turn it on and put it in your pocket. It picks up the normal cell-phone signal and outputs it as a normal wifi signal. Up to 4 computers can log on to its wifi signal (if they are in the normal wifi range and you have told the other computers what your code is) (like a normal router). I use the O2 one, no contract - Just PAYG. This gadget is also useful if your N7 is not equipped with a phone card. You can then use the N7 as a Satnav, Using Google Maps or Mapquest (both of these require you to be online whilst setting up the route).

Technically if you have a Nexus 7 it's not rooting as it's already unlocked. If you follow this link it's a piece of cake to get tethering back. It works whether you are on AT&T or T-Mobile.



I used my iPad sim AT&T and it works flawlessly but AT&T HSDPA blows in my area so I got a T-Mobile pay as you go that I now use on both devices.

Wrong answer it's unlocked reference hardware. It works with both AT&T and T-Mobile. See my other post
