I've also read that this works more reliably when wi-fi is turned off on the Nexus 7.
I had some problems getting this to work initially, but got it now! thanks. Any advice on whether this should be used sparingly, or if it is safe to use for long periods of time? I have seen people say that wifi-hotspotting is bad for the battery.. what about this?

thanks again
