Pendopad 4.0

[Tucky]

Hey all,
I am a total beginner with this, we got it for the kids to play games on so they leave our phones alone. Heres my problem, I don't have a wireless router, we are hooked upto the internet via ethernet cable, so I tried using my phone HTC XL as a hotspot ( I did this successfully with my parents laptop ) but when the pendopad hooks up with it I still can't download anything or browse.
Can some kind soul please help with this?
Cheers

Welcome to Android Forums Tucky!

I wish I could help you out but I'm not sure why it won't connect. Unfortunately this isn't a very active section.

Just thinking about the basics, does the tablet connect at all to your hotspot? If it does, can you get to something simple like Google?

Hi,
Tried to use my phone as a hot spot, nothing worked.

OK. Let's try this step by step. You enabled the hot spot which worked with a laptop. You enable wifi on the tablet. Does the tablet see the hot spot?
