Hello all I'm new to the galaxy tab but not new to xda... I have searched but havent reallly found the answer to my question.
I have a blackberry with an app called tether. The blackberry phones don't support wifi tethering. But they do support Bluetooth tethering. Has anyone ever successfully been able to tether TO a galaxy tab via Bluetooth from a blackberry?
I would like to know so that I can know what my data plans should be

I have seen a thread about this before. I don't remember the answer. Instead of the pathetic xda search, try google. It will find that thread better.
I have searched both xda and Google and I'm mainly finding tethering FROM a galaxy tab via Bluetooth but not to. I figured that creating a thread would be more beneficial.

Bluetooth tethering is supported on the 10.1 Tab due to Honeycomb. I BT tethered my 10.1 to my Win Mobile Treo, easy as passing wind.
As for Froyo/Gingerbread, no such luck, the option is just not there on the Tab 7, at least not on mine.

Wow so I'm out of luck it seems atleast till we get a honeycomb port

O.k., let me apologize if this is a repeated post. I really did not want to do this, but I am desperate!
I know that the forum mods frown upon repeated posts.
But, I have searched everywhere on this forum and on Google!
I recently grew a set of grapefruits rooted my Cricket Sanyo Zio (running 2.2) and my ViewSonic G Tablet (also running 2.2 rooted with 4349)
I downloaded Wireless Tether to the Zio; didn't work!
I downloaded Barnacle to the Zio. Seems to give a WiFi signal. The PC's seem to detect it, but the G Tablet doesn't!
I then looked at a couple of youtube videos and downloaded all the necessary stuff (nvflash and gtab.Century.Eyes.rar) on the G Tab, risking turning this machine into a $300+ paper weight!
Still doesn't do it!
Then, I noticed there isn't an custom ad-hoc for Zio on Barnacle.
Could that be the problem or did I just didn't do something right on the G Tab part?
Help much appreciated.
I don't know about the G tab but barnacle has worked flawlessly for me with everything I've tried to use it with.

With wireless tether go into settings and change to wpa-supplicant instead of ad-hoc and set a 13 character wpa key. Also set an SSID name. Connect to Wi-Fi on whatever you want to tether.

Nope. Didn't work.
FORGET IT!
Once again, let me apologize!
I did not realize this was a forum for people that are already born with the knowledge of Android hacking and tricks and that speaks this constant techno babble!
I think I will cancel my account and go else where...Better yet, I'll just get rid of the G Tablet and stick with this big clunky Windows laptop!
It is obvious in this everyone-for-them-self society, you cannot help with one simple little task!
DON'T WORRY! I WILL NOT LET THE DOOR HIT ME ON THE ASS!
BTW: TELL YOUR SPONSORS TO QUIT SENDING ME SPAM E MAILS!
Well good bye! I offered a solution. My tether works perfectly with wpa.

Has anyone found a functional wireless tethering method? Or do any of the roms listed in the development section have tethering enabeled? Ive tried wifi tether several different versions with every setting combination and cant get it to work. Shows devices connected but no internet connection

Google's WiFi Tether app is a must-get:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Set the Device Profile in settings to LG Optimus S
I leave my Setup Method as 'Auto' and have no problems tethering a number of devices. Many people choose to set theirs to Softap. IMO I've seen no difference between the two so try both and choose which one you think works best for you.
Thanks joey but ive tried that setup and it will show connected but no actual internet. The main device im trying to connect is a wii.

I don't have a wii to test, but I've used the tether for rooted users to connect my computer and Kindle Fire with no issues whatsoever.

My Wireless Tether app was doing that same thing. I think Verizon does something on their end to block it.
You can use "Open Garden" from the Play store. It works. Used it this weekend.

Open garden works well. The only problem i could see was if the Wii doesn't like ad-hoc networks as tje tether apps I have seen are all Ad-hoc

Ill give open garden a try tonight and see if its wii friendly

I am locked down with AT&T at the moment but would like to use Verizons data from time to time. I am looking to take advantage of the $20/Month 1GB Tablet Prepay data plan Verizon offers.
My question is, if I have a Samsung Tab can I root it and use it as a hot spot so my Laptop can tether off the Tab??
Thanks,

yes! if you're using the stock rom installed (froyo) there is an app preinstalled that comes with the tab that enables tethering. ive used it twice.

Thanks,
And can you confirm that it does not require a tethering plan to do this?
If this is the case I will pick up a Tab asap.
Thanks again.
Disregard that last request...
I did a chat with Verizon and it seems that HotSpot is included in all Tablet plans. So I am golden and off to shop Craiglist.
Thanks again,

I purchased my tab strictly for the tethering service for $49 the week before the new tabs came out and it works great.

Have any of you changed ROMs and still been able to use these features? I am having all sorts of issues with 3G dropping when using the stock 2.3.5 ROM but I can't find any other ROMs that have the Verizon Data Service menu required to activate the month to month verizon plans for the Tab.

First subscribe to hot spot shield elite from Google play store ,it's 0.99 cents a month,turn it on then the tether treV mod.That will do it.the hot spot shield helps to block T-Mobile.
Is that the only way to do it? Darn t-mobile! I could do it fine on my galaxy s blaze on the t-mobile network..

What are you tethering to that sets off the alert?
I tether Gigs to my Nexus 10 with no issues. I'd try using Chrome as your browser on a PC and trying the Spdy and internet speed boost options. They reroute through the chrome servers and it may mask your device type if using a PC

I tether with no problem using native app on Elegancia Rom. I have the unlimited $30 plan that has no tethering included.

Hi,
I just installed Nova Launcher and a bunch of other apps including the dolphin browser in my galaxy gear watch but i can't get the internet to work it just says that there is no internet connection. I am using a verizon samsung galaxy s4 but on the t-mobile carrier. I do not get the internet wether i am on the t-mobile internet or the wi-fi. I have tried looking at other place and a lot of threads in this forum but haven't really found a solution. I would really appreciate if someone could help me with this problem. I have attached a picture to show what it looks like. Thank you.

just a quick question, you mean the rom on the gear or on the phone when you say international roms.
