Default [Q] Tether a Non Droid Phone with G Tablet for Internet?

Hey everyone,

Searched for an hour about this and read tons of posts that talked about Droid phones and some others, but nothing that seemed to apply to mine.

I am wondering if it is possible to tether my old Samsung Hue phone to my G tablet? I live pretty far out into the country, and this is the best way I have to get internet access. The Hue EVDO connection is always pretty fast and much better than the Hughesnet satellite connection I had before.

Is it something that can be done? If so, please let me know which ROM would be best for this application.

Appreciate any and all help!

Willy

I have a Tilt2 running windows mobile 6.5 and have tethered successfully using a tethering program found in the tilt2 section of xda.

Samsung Hue is not a smartphone. Not going to be able to WiFi tethering.

Only going to be able to do USB tethering. While the G-Tab can act as a USB host, I don't know if it has all of the kernel modules and networking components necessary to do this. (What basically amounts to dial up networking)

You might consider getting a MiFi type device from your carrier (Alltel? Now Verizon?). Then you could do WiFI tethering through EvDo that way.

Same here - I want to tether using my Cricket Samsung Messager Touch via DUN when mobile. I know it can be done cause we mess with cellular connecting devices (GSM - at&t) at work, but I have no knowledge of the inner workings of linux/android, or the dial-up scripts needed for US-Cellular/Cricket.

Add my name to the list! I want to do Bluetooth tethering so when I'm on the road I can use my phones 3G service to get internet on my tablet.
