Nexus7+ Galaxy Nexus on plan
Have query in regards to not being very familiar with using wifi, and with tethering a tablet to a phone.
Have GSM Galaxy Nexus on 2Gb monthly plan and being given a Nexus7 for Christmas. I figured they would make a good pair.
What I want to know is how quick will my Galaxy Nexus battery drain if I am tethering the tablet, or is it unlikely that I will really use the tablet like that often. I just figure as I am reasonably new to smartphones and never had a tablet, I could do with some advice about how they typically get used so I can purchase the Nexus& with Sim slot if that is recommended.
So far as I can tell, I will probably mostly use the tablet at home when the phone is plugged in, and if I do want to use the tablet out and about, I should be able to get a couple of hours tethering out of the phone battery anyways. I have only purchased the wifi version at the moment (only one available) but I would like to hear what some more experienced people have to say about this. Do I really need mobile data on my tablet?
Am I going to be kicking myself for a fool later if I do not get it?
Any help would be much appreciated.

I've seen a lot of apps that will send your phone text to a tablet but it seems like none are compatible yet anyone know of any that are yet ?

Tablet talk works great.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I use "What's App." Works great across different platforms (and especially for international texts - no fees!). It's like an instant messaging service, but it piggybacks your cell network if you're tethering.
EDIT: sorry, I forgot to mention that it only works if the other person has What's App, too.
I use Google voice, only thing that you don't get are the picture msgs.

Try HeyWire Link ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5tZWRpYWZyaWVuZHMuY2hpbWUiXQ.. ) in google play it is free and it works. Takes a few min's to setup and a little thinking because of the way the help files are, well there english is not to good lets put it that way. But it works very well. Hope that helps
Yes, I also use the fantastic product: 'Tablet Talk'

I just use Google Voice which is linked to my Sprint account. Only downside is that you can't receive MMS.
+1 for tablet talk, it works great I just hope for more theme/customizing options in the future.

Whoah, great thread. Thanks for sharing guys. Think I'll try Tablet Talk on my Nexus 7!
Another +1 for Tablet Talk. It gets the job done.

Yes. Tablet talk syncs to your phone via WiFi or Bluetooth..so technically its using your cell service as an "extension" to your cell phone. I love it.

Google Voice, however like someone mentioned they haven't incorporated MMS into it yet.
Will try Tablet Talk tho.
I've used Tablet Talk for a couple weeks now and it hasn't really worked for me. I'm thinking that it's probably because of my phone. Does anyone else have a Galaxy S II/N7 pairing that works?

Be a bit more specific For example..are you using a 3rd party SMS program such as GoSms or Handicent? If so..read the FAQ for tablet talk.
Whats the issue that you're having?
Seriously amazed by tablet talk, my galaxy s3,suffered the sudden death syndrome, so was in a fickle, bought a cheap Huawei blaze and it's tethered to my phone and having to use tablet talk for texts and calls is amazing. Those using tablet talk for Blue tooth calling how clear is it.

If I'm not mistaken, In tablet talk you have to be connected by blue tooth or on the SAME wifi. An app called CLOUD SMS doesn't require that you be on the same wifi, I can receive text on my n7 even if I'm connected to wifi and my phone is not.

Why there is no 3G model for this tablet, aside from the beautiful display 3G is a breaking point for me. I could use USB modem but it uses the same port used for charging so it won't be so practical. Any ideas if Google might or might not introduce a 3G model later as it did with the nexus 7?
Sent from my JW101A using xda app-developers app
I think they will introduce a 3g modal. But for now just tether with your phone!:
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda premium
I agree. 3G + SDXC support would have made this tablet a market killer.
I don't want to pay for a separate sim card when I can tether to my s3 on a 3 unlimited data plan. Besides prob not taking mine out of the house much, when I get it.

Buy a MIFI which gives you 3g without using the USB port at no more cost than waiting for the 3g version to arrive.
You will also get better reception with a MIFI for it is designed to do just that and you can place it in the best place to get a good signal and use the tablet where it is most comfortable.
If you own a laptop or other tablet then you can use the MIFI as a hotspot for those as well.
It also means your tablet can be used when your phone is not nearby to tether.

MIFI devices normally have batteries fitted and some have a display showing signal strength and the amount of data downloaded so you can keep an eye on cost.
Check out Amazon which have a good selection,

Thanks for the info, do you know what kind of battery life to expect on them? Would it cover a 3 hour train journey for example?

You should have no problem finding a MIFI with a battery that lasts -3-hours.
USB teher- doesn't function at all. No data ever transferred
Wifi- connects but doesn't transfer any data like USB
Bt- works but, data is slow ~20KB/sec
This is disappointing since I got MB regularly on my g1 despite the older radio... I'm going you guys have done experience with jelly bean and tethering.

Same here. I have problems with WiFi tethering using the stock option. I didn't try apps cause, last time I tried them (other android), they killed the battery.
Not a fan of Bluetooth, I expect it to have a bandwidth limitation, which would answer your question.
But we both share the need for wifi-based help
So I'd love some help too
TIA

Now BT tether has reached 170KB/sec which seems like the max. Though I would prefer at least 1MB.

He's trying to tether his phones connection like in a incognito mode so T-Mobile can't notice it. They will just think he's using regular data.

no. you can try playing with the user agent, but theyll probably still see you. sometimes they wont even try to stop you, other times they are very strict. as of lately, theyre pretty diigent about stopping tethering if you dont pay for it.
I was on Tmos Value Plan (no tethering) and received several text messages about needing to add mobile hotspot before they blocked access to Internet Explorer via tethering (although could do anything else on my Windows 7 laptop)
Called support and they switched me to simple Choice while keeping my current contract term intact to avoid a migration fee. I haven't hit the 500MB tethering mark (I'm on the unlimited data plan) accordingly to data usage stats in Android so well see if they can truly track my hotspot usage (T-mobile says they can but I know it's not possible on the Nexus 4)

this is not true. they can. you are using their network, they know all about you, and what you are doing on their network. all your data is going through their network. all the information about your device, what its doing, all its identifiers, are being watched by tmobile. otherwise, they wouldnt let you onto their network. what makes you think that they cant track a nexus 4??

On most current t-mobile branded phones tethering is done via a proprietary hotspot app that tells t-mobile you are tethering, checks to see if your account can do mobile hotspot, and how much tethering data is being used. Nexus devices do not do this and therefore t-mobile only knows about tethering via useragent strings.
Also I checked my account online and T-mobile has nothing set up there to tell unlimited data users how much of their 500mb hotspot data cap they've used. If the network was able to track that wouldn't they show it in usage stats?

I was lucky enough to get a nexus 5 recently (caught it, in the 1st minute it was offered).
This leaves me with an amazing device, but no SIM (my nexus 4). I Dont want or need calls from my nexus 4 anymore. What I need is free data (other than WiFi and risky tethering), and I HAVE AN IDEA.
Now, T-Mobile has an offer for 200MB of free bandwidth for 3g tablets. Can I not use my nexus 4 as a "tablet" (for all their network cares)?
If not, what would I need to do, to get that done?
Ideas on this topic could help the n4 community as a whole, in one way or another.
