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

[Q] new unlimited. Still tether?

I've seen a couple threads and I'm a bit confused.
I know the new plan doesn't have wifi hotspot... Not like that service really mattered.
Was wondering for those who are on the new plan. Can you still tether?

I'm just gonna put my two cents in, I'm not on the plan, might get the s3 with this plan. But, from my knowledge, there is no way for them to know what's using your data unless you're on a stock ROM.

I was wondering this very question myself.

Tethering is still working for me after I made the switch yesterday. Hopefully I don't get charged though.. even though I don't use tether, it's good to know that everything works on my phone. How would i know I'm being charged for it? I didn't receive any "warning" popups or anything like that before continuing.. do I just have to wait for my next bill??

I wonder if they can develop some methods that could detect your tethering and block it?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

I had the tether feature free when i upgrade to 5G and now I'm on this new plan and the rep told me that i still keept my free tether and my other line will have it free as well...
but gosh Tmobile just got bad after they close the calls center with reps I had to talk to 4 people for one simple reason cause none of these new foreign knows what their talking about. so im not sure if i still have the tether will see.

Only by puting an APP on your device. I know a little bit about networking, and thats the only way. packets are packets. the user-agent is the only way to see what type of browser it is. but like i said before, a lot of android browsers use the desktop user agent.
But why would/should any carrier stop it? Especially if you are on a tiered plan. Its YOUR data, use it how YOU want. PERIOD. wethere you are streaming on your laptop, or streaming on your phone and using an MHL conector to your TV, its STILL streaming. Period.

Just got this, and i'm on the plan. also using stock rom.. http://offers.t-mobile.com/tethering/upsell.do?source=pcweb

For those unable to tether and being sent to that page, You could try using a different tethering app. Try foxfi, my dad is a tmo employee and doesnt have tethering on his plan, but says tethering works perfectly fine on his stock unrooted t989 with foxfi. I might also recommend cwm tethering.

They need to show that because they need a
fixed number. It's the same with minutes, i remember a while ago they had something like 999999 minutes. That's a long time ago though lol. But do you honestly think you'll use 10000GB lol

Yeah thats from the mobile site? They're probably slowly updating yo hide the number and showing unlimited instead... TMobile aren't exactly the best at web developing... Remember their slow and crappy websites when trying to check your usage. It's a tad better now lol.
Anyways, it looks like there are mixed reviews, but i assume native tethering is no good but some 3rd parties are still good? Keep the feedback coming fellas

Rom with best hot spot/wifi tether?

Question, are there any roms out there that have a better quality hot spot /wifi tether than others or is this feature just generally poor on this phone?
The reason I am asking is that my original evo had great hot spot quality. I drive back and forth from Houston to San Antonio and with the evo my wife would be able to be connected and work on her laptop the whole way. With this phone she can't.

No not at all just turn it on. Uses your phone number as password but you can change that. Treves has a lot more settings and configuration. This is the sprint hot spot and you just turn the switch to on.

Hacked native tether is more stable than that.

I completely agree, but I thought it mentioned he was having trouble with it. I haven't used either much, but they both seemed to work equally as well when I did use them. The native hotspot is easier to use too.

Driving back to Houston right now and trying to use the native Hotspot. It says the laptop is connected but we're not able to access the Internet. Any suggestions?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

Tried to connect using a tablet, same thing, it connects to the phone but no Internet access. Maybe it's just that the phone doesn't have a strong enough signal, hard to believe the signal on my old evo was stronger than on this phone.

Set the password up and enter it. It should work right away. It uses the phone number as the default password but you may need to change it.

[Q] Internet Tethering

Hi everybody,
I'm planning to buy a Note 10.1 2014 ed the WiFi-only version of course.
I was wondering: is it possible to connect a 3G-Phone (like my Galaxy S2) to the Note using a USB adapter and tether from phone to tablet?
I couldn't find a clear answer on the web..
Tanks a lot.

Yes as long as you have tether setup on your phone. That's the way I do it.

I believe you cannot use Wi-Fi tethering (whether its wireless or USB) unless the host device is rooted.

just to make myself clear, I want to use me phone's 3g internet on my tablet via usb cable. i'm not trying to make an wi-fi hotspot, just use the celloar internet from my phone without drain my battery by turn on wifi hotspot on the phone and connect to it from the tablet.
I know that it can be done from phone to computer via regular usb cable, i'm wondering if it will work same way between phone to tablet.
Thanks again.

Use Foxfi, it works just tried it. I used my phones 4G data over Blue tooth mode and works just fine. I am now able to use my phones 4G connection with my wife version tab. No longer confined to hotspots and home network There is a free version and a payed full version without the byte cap.
I didn't have to use usb tethering. Just connected through blue tooth
