Using your phone as a modem (tethering)
Get online with your notebook or desktop computer at any time, using your phone’s data connection.
You need your SIM card inserted on your phone to use the data connection. To find out how to set up and use the data connection, see Data connection.
Before you can use your phone as a modem, be sure to copy first HTCDriver.exe from your phone’s microSD card to your computer. To find out how to copy, see Copying files to or from the storage card. Double-click this file and follow the onscreen instructions to install the modem driver on your computer.
Make sure your phone’s data connection is turned on. See Data connection to learn how to turn on the phone’s data connection.
Connect the phone to the computer using the provided USB cable.
On the Connect to PC screen, select Internet sharing, and then tap Done.

Just as nice additional information for anybody encountering this thread from a search: tethering works out of the box on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx).

but it doesn't work at all with ubuntu 10.10 it did work on 10.04, .. then i installed backports and it worked on 10.10 however ubuntu did an other kernel upgrade and it didn't work anymore.

[Q] PC won't recognice my Wildfire.

My PC won't find my Wildfire. The problem I have is that it recognices my phone as a "unknown usb device" and I won't be able to transfer stuff between the SD-card and the PC (very annoying as I can't really move music).
I'm running Cyanogen Mod (the stable released 12th of december but had this problem for a while now). It's rooted with unrevoked and the HBOOT usb drivers won't work (reinstalled vista on my pc).
So what should I do?

When you plug your wildfire in, up in the top left hand corner(on the notification bar) you should see two little icons pop-up, One will be telling you that you have connected your phone to a power source and it is now charging, the other allows you to turn on usb file transfer.
Drag down you notification bar and click the one that says something like "file transfer" and it should open a new window... there should be a button at the bottom of the page which allows you to toggle the file transferring on and off, remember to turn it off before you take your phone out, or it will bug the next time and you'll have to reboot your phone and your pc to get it working
Hope this helps,
note* if this doesn't work there is a driver you can download which might make it recognise it, but I believe the above solution should work for you!
Edit:
If you still can't find it i'll upload a screenshot when I get home

try installing the hboot drivers again.
that solved it for me when my phone wouldn't be recognised, funny thing was it stopped recognising after i was charging my auntie's ipod. LOL

I would reinstall the drivers but it doesn't show up as a "Android Device" (or what it's called) in device manager.
I don't even have HBOOT USB as an option on the bootscreen. (with the USB plugged in)
UPDATE: Installed and uninstalled HTC Sync to get the drivers. Still an unknown usb device on which I can't install the special HBOOT drivers and still no HBOOT USB on boot screen even when plugged in.

If your phone is rooted, HTC sync could be your problem.

Had the same problem.
This is how I solved it, from the HTC support page:
Tips 1:
If you cannot see the HTC Sync option when you connect your phone to the computer via USB, please follow the
Instructions below:
1. Make sure you select USB Debugging in Settings > Applications > Development before connecting your phone to the computer
2. Connect you Phone to the PC and wait 20 seconds for your phone to install HTC Sync on your phone.
3. Unplug the USB sync cable. Wait for 5 seconds. Reconnect the Phone to the PC using the USB cable.
4. Select “HTC sync” and wait for HTC Sync to recognize your Phone. This process could take up to a minute your first
time connecting to the computer.

Or just install pdanet on both computer and phone, it will automatically install the drivers too. After that you can easily uninstall pdanet from both computer and phone, the drivers will stay installed.

hello, I had the same problem, cm since I upgraded to, I can not sync my windows with wildfire, and I found an alternative way to synchronize your PC and the wildfire MyPhoneExplorer excellent! really good!

I'm having the same problem, I can't access my Wildfire through my PC.
My PC recognizes the device but I can't access the SD-Card as it says 'Please insert a disk'. It's just charging, no option to establish a connection to the disk drive.
I tried several things, including the USB-debug mode which didn't work out. With MyPhoneExplorer I have a connection to my phone (can see calls, messages and memory status) but when I want to view the files on my SD-Card it pops up an error message saying "OBEX protocol couldn't be initalized! Phone didn't answer'.
Please help me how to connect my Wildfire again!

OK, i somehow figure it out by myself:
all I had to do is rebooting my device, after that everythings is working just fine! Thanks for nothing

You should have tryed that before asking. It's common sense.

did you installed the tattoo's drivers? have you tried the usb connection software (must be set to usb storage)?

yes i did al of those things but it doesn't work i even did reinstal the drivers and htc sync

Check following path to set if you have already selected some thing by default
uncheck it.
Menu > Settings > Connect to PC > Select Ask me option
Then go to launcher and selected USB to PC
If it says Disk drive then select HTC Sync and Select Ask me option and click Done
when it prompts to choose quickly select disk drive and click OK (you have to be fast here other wise phone would go to htcsync)
If it goes to htc sync cancel and try to change again to sdcard/usbstorage and see if it prompts. or change again to htcsync and try again
I had bad experience with earlier donut builds where it is not easy to connect to PC
If you have already done this and not working then you could access sdcard via recovery

the last tip doesn't work for me neither???
does anyone knows a other solution so i can update my tattoo with htc sync?

Can you explain a bit more on what you did and what happened.
That would help people to understand what is happening.
By the way i have update my previous post with exact menu ( i had to go back to 1.6 rom for a while).
Can you also change you usb cable and see if it helps (if you can borrow from some one)
All the best

when i connect my phone i don't get the message from where to select diskdrive or htc sync i only get that message when i reboot my phone while it is conneced throug usb

I have possible answer
if u have adw launcher / launcher pro create custom shortcut activity> setting> SD card on homescreen connect usb click shortcut enable usb mass storage
ur phone attached on pc if not tell me what happened

As rallapag (almost?!) said, i used to connect it to PC, then enter the app drawer and find that app with a logo showing a light blue screen, maybe called USB to PC. Enter it and select HTC sync.

HTC Click as external disk

When HTC is connected to USB, my pc dont see it. I must first set HTC Sync in PCconnection.apk and then set as external disc in PCconnection.apk. Why my pc dont see HTC Click directly? I use Windows 7. THX a lot for advice.

Try to enable USB storage from statusbar.

1)Update Windows 7 to SP1 using WINUPDATE...
(OR)
2)Reinstall HTC Sync on your PC or use drivers from adb.
(OR)
3)When you connect your Tattoo to ur comp and it asks connection type- choose HTC Sync, then disconnect your phone from your comp and reconnect it and choose USB Drive when it asks again. You should see it as a USB drive in MY computer.

I installed new ROM-TolgaMOD, version 2.2.1 and when HTC Tattoo is connected to pc, everythig works. Thx for ur posts.

[Q] How to Transfer files to the 10.1 via Windows 7

Hi All,
I've tried everything, including the usb drivers from the root guide and installing the Samsung Kies Mini program, but I can't get Windows to recognize the memory on the device. I want to transfer some movies on the Galaxy and have not been able to figure it out.
When I run the Kies software it says "plug in your usb" and when I plug in the Galaxy nothing happens...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It should work by just plugging in the usb/connector cable. You don't need Kies (doesnt support the 10.1 anyway right now)
When your pc does not recognize your tab, something is fishy about your pc/ usb.

USB connection should work:
(Autoplay should pop up
Select open device to connect (GT-P7510)
Click on phone
Select directory to copy file to)
Sounds like a PC problem. (Look in device manager and see if your USB controllers are ok)

Looked at Device Manager, no issues under USB.
Comes up as an Android phone...

forget the cable...
try 'Samba Fileshare' app free from the Market.
Connect to your 10.1 over WiFi and send files to it via the shared folder it creates.

Worked fine for me without installing anything.
On another note, the Kies software does seem to somewhat support the 10.1 as it installed the required adb drivers when I chose it from the menu.

im having problems too.... for now I am using dropbox.

I have a shared folder on my PC and use ES File Explorer over Wifi, it's simple and works a treat. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&feature=search_result

I had to disable USB Debugging to get mine to pop up. Took me a while.

Oh thank God I am not the only one having this problem,,, i have tried every driver combo out there plus leaving USB debugging off and still i get nothing on my windows 7 machine. I have tried three different machines and all the same so it is not a computer issue i think it is a driver issue or a interface with the tab????
Interesting thing though is that I can push via ADB all day it that connects easy!!! WTF?????
