Reverse Tethering for samsung epic?

Is there anyway for me to Reverse tether on my samsung epic?
I would like to plug my phone into my computer and use my computer's internet on my phone
I saw that the HTC thunderbolt had that option right when you plug it in and it was called "internet passthrough" where it uses ur PC's internet right on your phone.
Please let me know!

buy an airrave

wifi an option?

Buy a wifi router. Can't see any fun in having your mobile phone needing to be tethered to a stationary device just to use internet.

lol 10 Char.

50MIP connection on a gigabit switch is faster than even wireless n which I don't believe these phones are capiable of anyway. 801g is terribly slow for larger files

Airrave is supposed to only support 1x data if I'm not mistaken.

Wifi is not an option in my lab at work.
So it woudl be nice to be able to plug my phoen into my PC at work to get internet access on my phone that way.
I only get 1X in the lab as well...so tahts why i'd really like to get reverse tethering.
My coworker in the same lab uses his PC internet on his HTC thunderbolt.
When he plugs his phone into his PC he has additional option of "internet passthrough" which allows his phoen internet access through his computer

I've tried connectify on one of the laptops here. When i turn on the hotspot my phone is able to see it and connects...but doesnt get internet access.
Not really sure what the issue with that is.

Well Wireless N is 150 mbps... that should be plenty...

There is a 3G version, works well..

Don't think the Epic has Wireless-N.. it uses the 2ghz freq, not the 5ghz band.

N can be either 2.4 or 5 ghz -- though the claimed "150 mbps" is usually around 75 mbps actual throughput.

The epic is wifi n I use it constantly and was the biggest reason I bought this phone. was the first phone for sprint with wifi n and bt 3.0

I'm with the poster on this one. There is no wifi at my job so plugging into computer would really help when I'm pretending to work. I see a lot of discussion but nobody has said whether this will or will not be possible

the only trouble is you have to be connected by usb but its not such a problem

What about Barnacle WiFi Tether?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Mine worked by just using the hotspot app im on the £12.90 sim only deal.

Works fine with nothing added for me. I thought three decided that all plans with all you can eat data could do tethering?
13 pounds a month.
3000 texts
300 minutes
All you can eat data

when I got the one X the sales guy said I cant tether with the plan I have and it only comes on the one plan! I'm one down from the one plan and I would have to add the tethering add on at £5 a month!
He did say you can get away with so much then they will send you a message how true all this is I don't know I don't really use tethering so I'm not bothered!
I haven't even tried it either might give it a go and see if they bollock me lol

I have done it a lot and never got penalised.

Tether using wifi hotspot or usb , they dont know that your doing it !
i downloaded 20Gb with no hassle

I am on the one plan but you can use whats built into Android 4....
Otherwise I like to use an app called Open Garden, has never let me down so far and a lot more easier to setup.

I have all you can eat, but not the one plan (ultimate internet 1000). I can tether (warily lol) by just using the built in WiFi hotspot software, works just fine, not had any warnings as yet

Ive tethered to other phones and my Nexus 7, and nothing bad has happened. I read if you mobile tether they couldnt know, but if you use a PC theres a chance they will, because of the websites and ips it accesses.... £5 a month adds a gig of tethering, which is bloody insulting.....

When I tried it on an all you can eat plan I was redirected to a web page saying tethering wasn't supported. It was a new plan but maybe the older ones work.

Just use the built-in USB or wifi tethering, it should just work fine. I've been tethering on Three for years now, the built-in tethering in android always works fine for me.
Edit: I should just note, I'm on Unlimited Internet 500

I have tried the apps and the standard android tethering app it still does not work. I get the same three message.

Does anyone know of a working tethering app that bypasses the native one?

You need to be rooted to bypass... WifiTether (basic name I know) works good once you are

Funny..I came in here to ask the same thing. Wifitether works but it doesn't broadcast the SSID properly. Not even by typing the name in manually can you connect. So, no...it doesn't work in JB. But I also would like tether to work.

I tried all afternoon with many different apps to get some sort of tether working, and was unsuccessful with anything other than "Klink Tether" which is a paid app in the Play store. It is a USB tether and it works very well. Highly recommended.

Cm10. Wifi tether worked on my gs3 if I remember correctly.
Which cm10 won't be too much longer for an alpha for us.

EasyTether works fine. I'm using it for years on all of my phones. It never failed me. I'm using it right now as a matter of fact.
Edit: If you are ok with wired tethering. If you look for Wi-Fi... then I don't know of any way. Yet.

Thanks a lot! and Wifi Tether for root actually works on my 4.1 NS4G. So for those programs to work you have to be connected via USB?

Yes.
Or someone mentioned BT tethering with different app. I don't know since I don't use it.

EasyTether works. It's a $10 app, but there is a free version. Free version blocks all https websites, however.
Just to be clear, this is a USB tether. I don't know of any hotspot hacks yet.
EasyTether also requires a program running on your computer.

II think it used to be cheaper. I don't remember how much I paid. I think it's worth it though. Besides... not so many other options at this time and still much less than one month paying for official hotspot.

You know whats funny....(not really) is while at the Sprint store, every phone that was being sold, the salesperson said. You do understand that illegally tethering will get your contract cancelled, do you understands? .
Asked me too and I was like, huh, tethering, I just go to Starbucks :silly:? (hoping he wouldn't hit the big fat tethering button on my home screen (old phone) he was holding. whoops....

I wonder how exactly can they detect someone tethering?

It's a violation of your contract, so yeah, they "reserve the right to terminate". Same can be said for a lot of things that happen on this forum. Just don't abuse it and they won't bother you.

Will I need to pay the ETF if they terminate the contract?

USB tether is built into the phone. Has Sprint blocked it? It doesn't seem to work for me.

[Q] Tethering to PS3 does not work

So i have a T-Mobile GS3 and its rooted running Deviants Development Frosty Jelly bean. :good::good::good:
and i am using a moded app fo WifiTether. its called WifiTether_TrevE_Mod_11_22_2012.apk (Credit to the Techfanatic9 guy he showed me how to do it) the app runs great and actually i have no problem when i tether to my mac on my windows i had to download a firefox and chrome mod called used agent and change the setting to googlebot. then my internet worked perfectly. since i have T-Mobile i have unlimited 4g and that is great, because im am saving lots of money now that i have tethered rooting.
however when i try to plug it into my ps3 it does not work. at the beginning it did and then it stopped working. do you guys have any idea as to why and what can i do to fix this problem?

Some of these custom roms the devs make on here don't have tethering working i noticed too and the rom i would recomend for you which is guaranteed to have tethering working is the Xtremeperia rom for the galaxy s3 by Jovy in the android development section. I can totally understand your frustration where your other devices try to connect to your phone but they don't get anywhere. I have all you can eat true 4g from tmobile so i enjoy tethering.

Thats why. Its impossible to change a user agent on the PS3. You are completely out of luck with that plan. T-Mobile is blocking the PS3 UA.

Yea all you can eat 4g is hands down awesome. Nothing compares to it. Its even faster than the att uverse I had. Could you give me the link for that rom. I looked for it and could not find it. I want to test it out.

Just as I figured, do you think the might be a way to trick tmobile thru the phone instead of the ps3.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Not only ps3, my it blocks my vita too.
To the person above me, probably. But a ps3 has to build something to change the agent.

Only way I could get it to work is by purchasing a VPN client.

Amazon EC2 micro open vpn free
Amazon ec2 micro open vpn > open vpn android > trevE mod wifi tether > laptop (no UA change)

i run CM10 stable and i reflashed an old linksys router with dd wrt software and turned it into a repeater then i connect it to my phone and tether. i run my ps3, tf700, desktop and other phones off of it.. havent had an issue with cm10 and tethering.

You must be blocking the ability to track your user agent because it's impossible to constantly tether without getting blocked eventually

I've done the same.. I've tried VPN as well but no luck.. I've done it all. To setting APN app to system app, then deleting APN's and restoring from the given "T-Mobile APN" xml file thats here on XDA.. but still no luck.. I'm running T-Mo's Note 2.. Of course i can get the laptop/desktop's to work because of the UA but other than that no luck on my end...
Maybe a different VPN app? I'm thinking if theres a way to change the phone somehow, instead of messing with the PSN or PS3's UA... hmm..
I haven't confirmed the USB tether to computer with router fix yet.. Seeing as my phone won't turn on USB tethering for the life of it.. :/ I can flash DD-WRT to my router if it helps.. any suggestions?
EDIT: Also, I'm on the unlimited 4G plan as well. I've also changed ROM's and no luck.. Running Jedi X8, but going to try other ones that may work better with Tethering.. (I've also tried MIUI as well.. the most current one didn't have any luck either)

(WiFi Tethering & Hotspot) T-Mobile Galaxy Note II to PS3

Alright, I have a question.
Is there ANY WAY to tether my GN2 to my PS3(SuperSlim)? I'm running a custom version of CM10.1 and have NO problems sharing my connection with other phones, tablets and laptops through the "Tethering & Hotspot" settings. When I setup and connect to the internet on the PS3 it might connect and be good for like 2mins then it turns to s*** -_-
Please help me or at least tell me its impossible.
Thanks -Dev
