Phantomdibb: Hello, i bought a vita with wifi only :( and am out on the town and i have a sudden need to update my vita trophies...... but no wifi and i was to cheap to buy a 3g version. Damn.
Mr Android: Hold one there ya tightwad, you can update your silly trophies. Thats right a lot of newer Android phones (2.2+) have the ability to use there wifi as a portable hotspot.
1.Open the Settings application.
2.Touch Wireless & networks > Tethering & portable hotspot.
3.Check Portable Wi-Fi hotspot.
After a moment, the tablet starts broadcasting its Wi-Fi network name (SSID), so you can connect to it with up to 8 computers or other devices. An ongoing notification is added to the System bar, to the left of the time.
When Portable Wi-Fi hotspot is checked, you can change its network name or secure it. See Rename or secure your portable hotspot.
Uncheck Portable Wi-Fi hotspot to stop sharing your data connection via Wi-Fi.
