Hello all, just want to thank all the hard workers associated with the collaboration this site has produced. I am a noon, the plan is use different developers products, then if I have a successfully optimized phone, donate. So far, I have successfully installed ota dl09, Then supah clean and voodoo 5. Almost everything works except PDAnet, I'm extremely excited about my performance so far. Any suggestions on why PDAnet doesn't work on my PC? The phone indicates its working, the PC doesn't recognize a modem connected to it. Tried reinstalling everything, no go.

pdanet
You have to have the samsung drivers installed on your PC in order for it to recognize your phone, been there done that.
Installed latest drivers, PC indicates phone is connected, when I click connect on the pdanet icon in the tray I get a message to make sure phone is connected. Debugging is on, pdanet indicates its working.

I could never get PDANet to work. I always use EasyTether.
TYVM, will try it

PDANet needs several things to work:
1) You need PDANet installed on your smartphone, and running in USB mode (Bluetooth bottlenecks the bandwidth from a strong 3G connection).
2) PDANet installed and running on your PC (same software version as what you have on your phone)
3) Samsung Fascinate USB drivers on your PC.
4) Phone is running in USB Debugging mode. I suspect this might be what is missing for you.
Hope this helps.

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.

The wi-fi hotspot works great on my phone but I can't get USB tethering to work. I wouldn't bother with tethering but the awful battery life on the Desire HD makes this an attractive option since it gives me Internet access on my laptop while the battery charges on my phone (obviously, wi-fi sharing does not do this).
But when I use the "USB tethering" option when I connect my phone to my laptop, it doesn't work. I initially got a device driver error but now, when I connect the phone, I get nothing - no errors, it connects, but nothing happens and I can't access the Internet.
Is this a T-Mobile (UK) issue? Has T=M disabled USB tethering? Or do I need a driver? Or does USB tethering just not work (for anyone)?
Did you install HTC Sync? It install the necessary drivers for USB tethering to work.

Do you have to do this ?
The reason I ask is that I'm thinking if I'm travelling and I want to quickly hook my phone up to someone's machine and do tethering via the USB I won't be able to do it if I don't have HTC Sync, if that is the case that would be balls !

Which version of Windows are you using ?
silly question, but why don't you connect the device to your PC in charging mode only, then fire up the WIFI hotspot?
Or does this not work?
Can you tell me how to install HTC Sync on my Desire HD?

Everything else works great for me in this build. No color change, no battery discharge.....The only issue i have with this build is that i cannot connect any other device with Wireless Tethering, or USB Tethering. 2.3.2 worked fine for me with either but today i tested and tried to connect and was unsucessful with both. How is everything holding up for you guys? If you had the problem how did you solve it. Thanks.

Testing now. Will report back in just a moment.
Okay, so I was able to get USB tethering to work immediately (surprisingly my Google Cr-48 didn't need any configuration) but I'm having a little trouble with WiFi tether. I'm going to test a few more things and then get back to you (just FYI this was posted via USB tethering!)
And got it figured out. Apparently just had no data connection where I was sitting. Odd. So again I was able to get it to find the network and am posting this edit from the wireless hotspot. (Its slow because I'm on edge but w/e)
And one last update: I was able to get wireless tether to work first try on my MacBook Pro however when I tried USB tethering, it was a different story. I plugged in the phone, turned on USB tethering and watched it cycle on then immediately off. I can't seem to figure out how to get this to change and my wife probably won't let me do much more testing on it since I have my Cr-48 to play around on lol

Interesting. It sounds like your USB tethering issue is similar to the one I was having on Mac OSX (see edited post above) but not quite the same since I did not get an error, it merely turned off. I wish I knew more about tethering but this is the first phone I've ever gotten it to work successfully at all so I'm at a bit of a loss when it comes to troubleshooting.
Just for posterity though you should identify what operating system your computer is running so we can figure out if this is a Mac issue or if it applies to Windows as well. Also, just to make sure, your signature says you're running 2.3.3 stock, is that correct? (I ask because my signature is not accurate; it says I'm on CM7rc1 which is not true: I'm on stock 2.3.3 with Netarchy's 1.2.5 CFS kernel)
I'm on vista right now. And my signature is accurate

Okay, later tonight or tomorrow I'll test wireless and USB tethering on my Win7 partition.
Alright, I was able to test Windows 7 and here is what happened. I had a lot of issues at first getting it to work. It got stuck on identifying and I had to reboot my phone to get it to actually recognize the network. I did however eventually get it to work for both hotspot and USB tether. Also, I had a similar issue for the USB tether that I was having on MacOSX but it was solved when Windows unsuccessfully installed the drivers (you know the popup it gives when you plug it in). Which I find odd because until it FAILED the option would say "Connecting", "Connected" then "Disconnected".
Interestingly enough I randomly decided to test it on my Cr-48 again and no longer am able to get USB tethering to work. It connects but is unable to actually get internet. Odd.
No problems at all. Tested the hotspot on a Windows 7 machine as well as one running XP. Upgraded to 2.3.3 the manual route. Cheers!
it won't really affect me none because I barely use it. Just tested it to see if it worked. I also noticed that some of my albums are split in two. These are the only two problems I am having.

Hi all, my Note cannot connect to Kies....which after I checked with the internet is a very conman problem for Galaxy. I still want to make it works and I have some questions if anyone can help....Thanks in advance!
1) I checked some web site that to connect with Kies in computer (mine is Win7 64 bits) that we should first go to the phone's Setting-->About phone-->USB connect-->connect with Kies....... However in my Note there is no such setting in About Phone and I checked all areas in Setting but there is no USB connect-->Kies....... where is it?
2) Although I cannot connect with Kies at my computer but I can still use MTP connection is that all with Note?
3) If I cannot connect with Kies do I still get update from Samsung? I noticed that in my phone setting--> about phone section, there is one are that can click in to check updates, so what should I do?
Thanks again everyone....
Kies will not connect to 7" Tab, Galaxy S or Galaxy Note on my 64bit Windows 7 Ultimate system. Have tried older versions, latest version, Repairing and numerous drivers as there are posts elsewhere of 64bit driver issues. Works fine in MTP mode and Kies Air.
Have no such problems on XP professional.
Glad I am not the only one but it seems to be a Kies problem rather than the phones/tablets.
Any help would be appreciated by those of us suffering!

The USB connection utilities are under Wireless and Networking, however chances are your Kies issue is because you have USB Debugging turned on.

No - it's off - as I said, it works fine with all three Samsungs on my XP Pro machine but not on Win7 64bit machine. However, ADB works fine on both machines so I'm pretty sure that it's a problem Kies has with a driver.

ah good to know win7 ult 64 doesn't support it, that explains a few things. But why isn't total commander copying and pasting to it. ?

Am from Hong Kong....may be is the WIN 64 bit problem, I am using Win 7 professional not ultimate, and will continue test it, may be DL Kies from UK....
BTW what funny is that I send this problem to Samsung all they said is to reset the machine to factory default and try..... guess not much help....
Connected fine on my win7 64bit ultimate. Must be some other issue. Impressed with the functionality

I agree with post #8, had same problem, phone unlocked from UK, downloaded Kies from UK samsung site and no problems on Windows 7, 64 bit. Try download from different Samsung site.
are you using any other launcher? Tried on my wife's phone the other day (different phone). It only connects when the phone is in the Samsung Launcher with every apps closed.
64 bit fine. I had a similar issue until I saw one blog article that said "once USB debugging is off *kill all tasks*" - did that and it worked fine.
Have to say, the concept of Kies for firmware upgrades works really well (as a piece of consumer software) though, as a colleague said, you can see why they are in hot water with Apple - it's a direct rip of iTunes!

Yep, I hate both with a passion
Won't run at all !
Kies UK won't run at all. I immediately get "Kies has stopped working" The phone shows up fine in Explorer. I'm Windows 7 64 bit.
I tried :
Uninstall from Device Manager then reinstall.
Install as Administrator.
Uninstalled Windows Mobile Device Manage
I tired every Kies thread Google showed. 5 hours so far.

I got likewise. Think it was related to the USB drivers. Worth making sure USB debugging is off and the phone pops "MTP connection"* in the title bar prior to trying to run Kies.
My anti-virus also affected it. If you run, turn it off prior to installation - if you've already installed, turn it off and to a Repair (Change) from Add/Remove programs.
Win 7 Home Premium X64 plus UK Kies plus German Note = success for me. No drama, no hoops, no fiddling with antivirus or firewall settings. Easy peasy.
The only issue was needing to disable USB debugging on the phone, which was not made at all clear in the message issued by Kies.
Windows 7 64-bit home premium, no problems with this or the sgsii....

NO luck on my iMac
So i tried my laptop with windows 7, when i connected the Note it had to update several things. That took a while, and i ahd an update from Kies. After all that it said immediately that there was an update for my Note with a few improvements. I bought mine in The Hague in The Netherlands, but it is a German version. He is stil busy as we speak, at 99%
It started working for me on win7 64bit after I unchecked USB debugging under applications-->USB debugging. If memory serves I had the same problem on SGS.
Has anyone found or established and working wifi or usb tether on stock rooted rom? This is single handly the most important function that I require on my phone. I will probably be trading it in on the Nexus 5 this week, it doesn't look like we will see working hotspot anytime soon. If anyone has a working tether please share.

I don't want to hijack your thread, but I was going to make a thread and I wondered if this was better suited to go with your post. Maybe you guys have encountered this and figured it out. Part of our problem is that no one really wants usb usally. They want wifi. But right now I'd be thrilled to have a good, stable usb tether for when I need it. The only way I've been able to keep it stable is by constant download, like setting something going in the background on Netflix, but that's not a real solution!
I have a few issues. This is USB tether and not WiFi.
I need to set up for occasional tethering and just planned on using USB tethering. I went to clockworkmod tethering and installed it on a Sprint variant LG G2(LS980). I am trying to get that working on two different computers. Computer 1 is an older laptop running Vista. Computer 2 is a new laptop running win8.
Computer 1 has the app installed and works. The issue is, if I stop downloading anything for just a few moments, it quits working. I then have to close out the app on the phone and then reopen it and it takes off just fine. I’d like to know how to make that a stable connection.
Computer 2 is more of the issue. First, the Win8 driver signature enforcement setting was disabled. The app was installed on the computer and there was tethering for a little bit. Long enough to try a page or two and then point the computer to speedtest, which was 16mbps down, which is great for where we are in the country. After the test there was a gap in downloading any information. It quit tethering and would never work again. It was believed it might be due to the wrong driver. The first one was taken directly from the LG page a week or two ago, LGMobileDriver_S50xxxx, so the app was relaunched and attempted to use the driver found on triple double u clockworkmod dot com/tether/drivers and is LGMobileDriver_S498xxx and that didn’t work.
In short, what do I do to get this to work? I’m at a bit of a loss. It should be easy.
Thanks.
