like 3 tethering apps none of them since to work after update, any info?
They all work on CyanogenMod. <3
tethering works fine on cm6.
easytether is working just fine for me with 2.2 Froyo
same here. And 'funny' enough - when connect USB to comp - my 4G disappear. I didn't have to use anything on 2.1 - just usb sharing . Now tried all 3 progams with no luck. Other usb options are fine. Never rooted.
Thanks

Thats because you are suppose to leave usb as charge only, not usb tethering.
You don't pay for usb tethering, so sprint makes your mobile connection go away when trying to use it. So, use something like easytether, but keep it selected as Charge Only with usb debugging on

Anybody Tethering via USB? I could of sworn there was an app for it when I had my G1, but there was also an app for wireless.
I figure I could plug my Vibrant into my laptop and have it charge my phone at the sametime use my phone for a source of internet. When I need to charge my laptop I could just plug it in, but still have the ability to surf and charge my phone if needed.

Yeah I've only found the wireless tether as well. The wired version was just so much more convenient.

Anything for non windows users ? (Linux specifically) I'm fine using wifi tether (yes, I rooted)- but I like usb for ease of use.
Thanks guys.
Cracks me up I look for a solution yesterday and then I see 5 threads talking about kies today.
Last time I tried to grab it, but I couldn't find it for some odd reason. I guess I have a few ideas now.
@jackhuny I'll give that YouTube a try when I have a chance. Work blocks any and every half way decent site. I'm glad they haven't blocked this one yet.

In ubuntu 10.04 usb teather is automatic. Just make sure your phone has debugging mod on and plug in.

Ubuntu supports USB tether out of the box, but without the tether function in the rom you get nothing. The unbranded Galaxy S rom has a USB option for "PC Internet" which works perfect with Linux, but it was removed in the Vibrant. I rooted, just wondering if there is a usb tether app out there I'm not seeing (besides PdaNet)...
Just install samsung Kies suite, or Behold II USB driver.
Set the phone USB mode to Kies, USB debugging is optional.
Setup dial-up networking, use samsung mobile modem
dial *99#
that's it.
or you can tether directly to Cradlepoint router using same Kies mode. Make sure you specify APN in modem setting.
PDANet works via usb. You may need to download updated drivers from the Samsung website.

I have tried to use my USB tethering on my PC but Im not getting an internet connection.. Could someone please inform me on how to correctly use USB Tethering
There was a app called USB tethering that I think was made by the same team that made the wireless tether app. I tried it last year and it worked on the evo.

It depends. If you're using a ROM that has the USB tethering unlocked, you should be able to just plug into your computer, then when the prompt on your phone pops up, select usb tethering. Wait 1-3 minutes, and it should have a connection. That works fine for me, and I just tried againr ight now. If you're not using a rom that has usb tethering unlocked, there is an app called PDAnet, that works great for tethering. It has a trial period, then after the trial period it only lets you on non secure sites, so you'd need to upgrade to the 'pro version'. There is also an app called EasyTether, that I believe is free and also works great for tethering.

EasyTether does work well, but the free app won't let you go to https pages, so you won't be able to, say, check a gmail account with it. You can upgrade to the pro version to see those pages, though it'll cost you 10 clams.
Hey guys I need some suggestions, what I want to do is use my computer downstairs to play wow. But I don't have a cord that that reaches all the way up stairs to the modem.
We do have wifi but this computer doesn't. So I want to use my MT4G as a USB Wifi adapter. I also don't want to buy one. I also don't receive any data service here. So I need to run of the wifi
I've tried Pda.net but it was way to slow to run anything, the rom i'm using is miui and when i try to tether through usb my comp says it cant find the program to install.
So if you have any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!!

Need wow that bad, you can teheter and use your phone as wifi hotspot but can't use it as a wifi card the usb ones are 20 bucks go buy one

The answer is trivial:
Have your phone with WiFi connected, plug the phone, choose USB tether mode, and it will share its WiFi with the computer.
Tethering shares whatever connectivity the phone has at the moment. Obviously you can't share WiFi connectivity over WiFi, so WiFi hotspot won't work for you, but you can share WiFi connectivity over USB.
No program is needed, if MIUI guys coded it correctly - the virtual device is RNDIS, any Windows should have drivers for it.
If you have Mac - go back to Sense ROM that can share USB with Macs using some other virtual device mode.
I have been tethering my SGS2 (AT&T) with my laptop via USB with no problem using the SGS2 for data connection. I finally got a USB adaptor for my GT 10. It sees my SGS2 and says "High Powered USB Device Connected, Cannot connect to this device. Connected device needs external power supply."
I haven't found any threads regarding GT10 usb tether. Is this not possible?
Not possible. Drivers would be required.
I didn't want to mess with rooting my device(s) to get bluetooth or wifi tether. I tried setting my SGS2 as wifi hot spot and it works perfectly. My SGS2 is unlocked.

Easiest solution, no idea why people would try to tether via USB.
I was wondering the other day though, whether it would work if someone had a 3G USB stick and connected it to SGT.
USB Cable will not make any difference to speed
Tethering via Cable will not make any noticeable difference to the speed. Because the phone uses 3G to connect to internet and it is already quite slow from the max speed that can be supported via WiFi.
We have sketchy internet access at my office due to location so I actually tether my PC via USB to my SGS2 sometimes. Just curious if the GT10 could do it. I am also curious if it will work with a 3G USB Stick.
what mode is the sgs2 in when you connect it? can you connect in usb debugging mode to see if it shows up as a high powered device then? i only have a vibrant so i don't know what your exact options are.
3G USB Stick requires you to install a driver before using it. And I doubt that Network operators out there have got a driver for Android!
It is unlikely to work. Let us know if you find something special
why don't you just use the wifi tethering in the settings? no root, no hardware, no fuss.

Tethering over wifi or bluetooth can Bea battery hog. USB lets you tether without killing your phone's battery.

Won't help because Tab will not provide power to the phone, phone will still discharge quickly because of constant data transfer.
Another option would be a USB 3G stick maybe.
Hi everyone.
So Im on prepaid Tmobile (don't really if that affects it).
It used to be flawless in my past android devices. Here, w/ USB it installs the adb driver successfully, then just nothing.
With Wifi Tethering the network shows up there is not internet when connected.
Please help! Im on stock everything except unlocked bootloader
EDIT: It works when USB debugging is on.
Maybe it's the Pre-Paid. Might give you limited abilities.
