Easy Tether work on Galaxy Tab?

[unforgiven]

Looking for options as I'm not in any hurry to root a brand new phone. Easy Tether is a solution for using and android phone for a laptop. It does not support Bluetooth and requires USB cable but I could live with that if this would work on a Galaxy tab. I'm thinking no based on the OS requirements listed but you never know so thought I would ask.

Thanks!

You would have to enable wireless tethering and the Tab may not accept the tether if it's an ad-hoc connection. Chances are it would be ad-hoc if wireless. At which point you may need to root and enable the workaround.

I think you are correct as I have it tethered now to my iPhone using blue tooth as it would not do adhoc. Easy Tether (unless I missed it) does not do wifi but only usb cable. The problem I see is that the easy tether client only lists laptops and computers as supported with OSs like WIndows, MAc and ubuntu so that leads me to believe the client won't even run on an android tablet.

Easy Tether is ad hoc only (I believe). SGT 10.1 cannot recognize without changing the internals. Easiest solution is to download android-wifi-tether's latest release and ensure the "Change Device-Profile" is set to Samsung Epic 4 G in the settings.

You will need to side load the apk (I used Drop Box). The download is at:

Is working great for me - good luck.
