Tether Galaxy Tab off DroidX

**Skatedawg** · 12-03-2010, 04:03 PM

I was wondering if it is possible to Tether a Galaxy tab off a Droid X because im thinking off getting the Galaxy tab but i dont want to add another line to my account. I have my Droid X rooted and i was wondering if i could just connect it with my Droid X and it work for the internet? Please let me know thank you.

I just connected my Tmo Tab to my dINC via mobile hotspot without an issue. I am posting this that way. Now if you are talking connection via a usb cable using a third party app, I would not expect that to work.

I bought it. I will try to get it to work and if its tricky I'll make a tutorial

I just picked up the GalaxyTab and I think I'm going to root my Evo so I can tether because I can already see that wifi only won't be enough.

I would like to root my EVO but kind of scared to.

Don't be afraid to. You will love to. But from what my first round of trying to tether the device, no luck.

Why? I would think since you are rooted it wouldn't be a problem. Is it more complicated than using the wifi tether app?

Check out this video, this worked on my AT&T GT too, definitely backup the original wpa_supplicant file before overwriting it.

Dave is right. There is some hackery involved in getting this thing to tether to your phone. Ill be writting a tutorial today hopefully. To get your started...root your tab.

Excellent Dawg, and I will just remind everyone now that Samsung states that if you Root your device or otherwise hack it they will void your warranty. So please be very careful implementing hacks and make system backups etc because you are on your own. No one in any forum will take responsibility if you "brick" your phone.
