3G Tethering Android to Nexus, is it possible?

Big_Stan

Hi, does anybody know if it is possible to tether the 3G reception from my phone to the new Nexus tablets? I know that WiFi is possible but can not for the life of me find whether it is possible to do so with 3G

Android (which phone) but basically you set your phone to act as a Wifi hotspot , and connect to that wifi hotspot from your Nexus/Lappie etc Put a strong password on it , and be wary of your data usage. The hotspot on your phone will use your 3G / 2G whichever is available

What about Bluetooth tethering? I know I can do that with my Ipod (4th Gen) to my 3G phone. (Phone is a Nokia C2-01 so doesn't offer wifi hotspot functionality, or ANY wifi functionality).

FoxFi on the 3G phone - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foxfi&hl=en

and PdaNet Tablet on the Nexus 7 - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pdanet.tablet2

It works for most internetty things, but doesn't give full internet access (i.e. can't download from Google play).

Sorry, think my question wasn't worded correctly.

I'm basically looking at getting the Nexus 10, which is wi-fi only. I was looking at the possibility of my Nexus 10 sharing the 3G connection from my phone (HTC One X) through whatever means (I imagine as a WiFi hotspot like mentioned) Was just looking to see if this is something that was possible, and/or if I needed to get an app to be able to do it.

Think that makes sense?

My HTC Desire has Wifi Hotspot built in and its android 2.2 so I am sure the one certainly will.

The first answer is the one you need, the more recent versions of android do it natively

As simple as that, thanks!

Are able to flesh out how.

Is it possible from a wildfire?

Go to all apps scroll down to W for Wifi Hotspot , push it portable wifi hotspot , give it a SSID eg grizzly
Security wpa2 or wpa tkip give it a password etc.
Put same password in the other laptop/tablet etc, when trying to connect voila simples.

Edited: BUT as I said on post #2 watch your data usage if you are not on unlimited(Happily I am on £5 / month unlimited (No it is no longer available)

I get 750mb and it will really only be for very light browsing when on the move where wifi is not accessible. Got a cap on my phone to stop when it reaches which is useful!
