Samsung S7/S7Edge Wi-Fi Hotspot and USB tethering Wi-Fi Hotspot: 1. Go to Settings > Mobile hotspot and tethering > Mobile hotspot and tap the On/Off switch. Here you can see the HOTSPOT NAME, and change the PASSWORD. On the client device, use the Wi-Fi network and password that was associated with the hotspot to connect. Use tethering. You can use your mobile phone to set up an Internet connection from a laptop or desktop. Remember, you need to set up your mobile phone for Internet.
I have tried to get USB Tethering to work to get internet on my laptop through my Samsung Galaxy S3. I'm with Sprint if that matters. I have unlimited text/data plan. I don't want to pay for the Sprint Wi Fi Hotspot service. Can I get access for my laptop through my phone using USB Tethering without paying?
I tried installing a driver I found at the Samsung website. It seemed to work, but then I notice that my phone was receiving Wi Fi from my wireless router here at home.
I was able to surf the web with my phone tethered via USB to my laptop as long as I was receiving Wi Fi to the phone via my home router. But when I turned off the Wi-Fi access within the phone I was unable to get internet connection via my cell phone through my sprint service. The driver I downloaded from Samsung and installed on my PC (Windows 7) was the Samsung USB Driver For Mobile Devices V1.4.6.0 During the driver install on my PC most of the features installed but it did say that Moble MTP Divices 'failed' Any ideas on how I can get my phone service to provide internet access via the USB tethering? Or some other way? I can only imagine that Sprint is making Samsung and Android make it as hard as possible to get internet access via your cell phone to another device so as to limit data usage. Just curious. The PdaNet site does not have much info on the difference between the free and paid version.
What features would you gain with the paid version? I do see at the bottom of the download page it says: Note: Once trial expires, you can continue using PdaNet for free. The only difference is that free edition blocks secure web sites. So I assume that maybe the version I have is actually a trial version that will not be able to access SSL sites once the trial period expires. Is this the difference?
Also, on the it says: New! Version 3.50 is integrated with FoxFi to give you WiFi Hotspot mode support.
What now would I need to do to make my phone a Wi-Fi Hotspot? Click to expand.Thanks.
It looks like they are still working on it for the S3. Guess I'll have to check back later there. 'Installation instructions (for Sprint/AT&T Users): 1. Make sure 'Unknown Sources' is checked in phone Settings (under Applications or Developer). Tap on the following links to download the apk file for FoxFi.
From phone notifications select the downloaded file. This will install FoxFi. Support for the new Galaxy S3 and the new ICS update for Epic Touch are being worked on. Should be compatible soon in a future update. ' Would you run the FoxFi installer on the PC or go direct to that webpage with your phone?
