How to use your Android device as a PS Vita WiFi Hotspot

VGW: Sony’s 3G/WiFi model of the Vita launches on February 15, and arriving with it the temptation to plunk down your cash for an AT&T data plan to stay constantly connected. But if you already have an Android device with a data plan, you can use your existing cell phone carrier’s service to create a free WiFi Hotspot for your shiny new Vita — even if your device doesn’t technically support the feature.

Ooh, I bet this will work with my iPhone, too. Gogo hotspot!

Yea, $30/month for 3GB of data on your existing plan sure beats an EXTRA $30/month for 3GB just on your Vita :D

thedude444828d ago

and bingo was his name oh

TronEOL4828d ago (Edited 4828d ago )

And this is why I didn't buy the 3G version. Well, that and the fact that you can't really get the 3G version in Canada yet (as far as I know).

My iPhone 4S Hotspot feature will be more than enough to send and receive scores/PSN msgs/game page & trophy data, etc, on my Wifi model.

Also, my First Edition Vita is in the mail right now. Should be here tomorrow! :D

If your device is jailbroken, then many 3g teethering options are available. MyWi can be bought for $20 (-_- or free with cracked repos) for pdanet is a good free alternative.

The best way to do it i've found is to Root your phone and then download an app from the android marketplace called Barnacle WiFi tether. It's really simple to do :).

fluffydelusions4828d ago (Edited 4828d ago )

Most custom ROMS support tethering out of the box sort of speak. No need for an app, just look in settings>network.

Waddy1014828d ago (Edited 4828d ago )

I don't have a custom ROM, mine is just the rooted version of the OS that came with my Xperia X8 which is why i use that app.

Pixel_Enemy4828d ago

My EVO 4G is running an ICS rom that has it built in. It can't wait to meet it's new friend the Vita tomorrow!

Bathyj4828d ago

I have a Xoom and I dont use 3G. If I get a Vita, (and I'd love to eventually) Wifi will be fine for me.

I love todays phones.

Freshnikes4828d ago

Can't u get the 3G-wifi version and do the same exact thing???? (ps vita launch bundle) danmmit I cant wait!!

Waddy1014828d ago

You can, they're just pointing out that you can pay $50 less and get the wi-fi only version and still have the 3G functionality-ish of the 3G one by tethering it.

Freshnikes4828d ago

It's sounds more like 3G-wifi bashing!!! Or u can spend $50 more and do everything the wifi can do(and more) !!

Waddy1014828d ago

@Freshnikes There is that yes, also the 3G/WiFi version has a GPS chip built in so apps like Near work much better on it.
It's more of an alternative to those who don't want to pay for an extra lot of 3G on top of what they pay for there phone.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

Feature: GamerKnights Game Of The Year 2016 - GamerKnights

Game Of The Year 2016:   2016 has been another fantastic year for gaming. Whilst the sheer number of games coming out has probably declined again, the overall quality is up – the only thing really missing nowadays is solid experiences ‘in the middle’ – everything is either big-budget, ‘AAA’ games or smaller indie titles, with few episodic titles sat as a kind-of, sort-of bridge rather uncomfortably in the middle. Whilst that’s a shame for the industry in general, there’s still been loads of great titles this year, perhaps most notably five fantastic shooters in Doom, Gears, Battlefield, Call of Duty & Titanfall, all of whom take their respective games in new directions and improve over their predecessors in meaningful ways. As ever, each of our main writers have listed out their own personal top five games of the year – enjoy and please leave a comment if you disagree!
