[Q] Samsung Kies 1.5.3= No Tether?!

Just last night I tried to tether my phone to the computer via kies. And to my disbelief.. it simply says "This device is not supported by Tethering".
I have had this tethering to work many times before, the only change I can think of is that I recently got an OTA update for the gps fix and now everything stopped working??!
Anyone knows how to make this work again?... and please without rooting the phone if possible
Thanks,
Tim

I cant believe that anyone is NOT having the same problems as me!
Any good news?

Because we simply and safely rooted and flashed Mobile AP. Kies and Kies tethering kinda stunk. Sorry.

Unfortunately you're right. I have 1.5.1 on one computer and 1.5.3 on another - the latter won't allow me to tether. There is a thread floating around about how to setup the phone as a modem and tether for free without an app - sorry, I don't remember where, but I found it earlier this week and it worked great.

Hey thanks for the little glee of hope!
Ill start looking for that app ASAP, could you also try to find that too?
Thanks again,
Tim

Tethering without root:
Install the Samsung Drivers
Turn on Android USB Debugging mode on the phone or put USB into Kies mode. In Android Debugging mode you can use your phone while it's plugged in (but you can't access the internet from the phone when it's tethered) but you can't use your phone in Kies mode (there is the MTP app screen blocking everything.)
Create a new Dialup connection using the SAMSUNG Android USB modem. Phone number is *99#, username and password can be anything, including blank
Go to modem properties, and enter at+cgdcont=1,"IP","epc.tmobile.com" into the extra initialisation commands
Dial

You sir are a genius. Running Windows 7 Pro 32bit and this worked great for me after Kies failed to allow tethering.

Hi Chui,
I try this last method and still getting the error 777. What am I doing wrong? My computer recognized my phone and all the drivers has been install successfully. Do I need another drivers? What Samsung Drivers are you talking about? I just got my phone back from TMO since it crash when I try to updated it. Please help me and thanks!

[Q] TF101 doesn't connect with PC through USB

Hi guys,
After upgrading to ICS I've been unable to connect my pad to the PC. This is usually not a problem, but last night I needed adb to re-root it. Nothing worked, nothing connected. Tried installing drivers and the Asus sync, but no luck.
Is this a known problem? Anyone got a solution? I doubt it's the hardware as I connected a few days before upgrading...

Found a solution. Went into Settings->Storage and turned MTP off and back on.

THANK YOU! Everytime I plug in my ET4G to the dock to charge it that stupid MTP crap always comes up. Had no idea I could disable it. Thanks!

yeah, this doesn't always help... I had the same problem when i first got my TF101, and i tried all the tricks, the one mentioned here with mtp, enabling and desabling debug mode, turning off and on with usb plugged in, and some others i can't remember... nothing.
In case anyone else is looking for the answer and the quick tips don't work, what did it for me was installing Android Revolution HD rom. I've read that this problem could also be bootloader related.
Anyways, cheers.

How to connect an ICS device to your computer
Step 1. Connect device to computer via USB
Step 2. Set USB connection as Media Device (MTP) (p.s. if you use a Mac you need to download Android File Transfer)
Step 3. Disable USB debugging if enabled
I hope this helped.

when you need turn off MTP it mean your computer doesn't have driver.
If you need using MTP go to asus page and download driver. it's easy to install driver ^^...
recently I can't understand why same file but the computer at my office can't install that file instead other computers working normal... maybe my work place using old windows version...

Like I wrote earlier - mine was actually in MTP mode, but I had to switch to camera mode and back to MTP for it to start working. Thanks for the replies, though. Hopefully it will help some other people with the same problems

[L7] Problem with USB connectivity / drivers

Hi
I'm having some problems with connecting my P700 over USB. I have the official JB ROM now.
On my desktop computer, when I connect my L7, nothing happens. The phone starts charging (slowly) and nothing else happens.
I have installed/uninstalled the USB drivers several times, tried every connection mode, used different cables, and still no connection.
BUT my phone connects fine to my laptop computer, I just installed the driver and it works good.
The laptop has Windows7 32-bit, the desktop Windows 8 64-bit.
Is there anything I can try for the connection to work on my desktop without formatting it? Please help me. I've ran out of ideas....:crying:
Thanks

Go to PC Connection USB Connection Type >> LG Software >> Check
Also check on "Ask on Connection"

The steps are good, you have to make sure you are in USB Debugging and connected for LG Software.
If your phone is not detected and there is no attempt to search/install drivers automatically by your PC, try installing the drivers in attachment. Now restart your PC and try again, it worked for me, hope it does for you.

I had the same trouble,I connected my phone with Lg software, it auto downloaded driver and installed

Is MTP activated? Go check in Settings>Storage, touch the three dot overflow and go to "USB Computer Connection". Make sure MTP is checked. You can also try PTP mode too. Good luck!

You have to install LG L7 driver on PC too. I think the name is "LG PC suit" or "LG mobile update"

[Q] USB Debugging Not Working

I've googled and searched everywhere for this, but no luck. I got the S4 yesterday (AT&T) and i went through the steps to turn on developer options for the new 4.2.2 jellybean to get access to the USB debugging option. I turn USB debugging on and hook it up to my computer and it will not install the ADB interface driver (needed for PDAnet). The phone connects as if USB debugging is not turned on saying "connected as a media device" and keeps giving me the option on the computer to access storage. Anyone or everyone else having this problem?

Did you install the drivers? Did you have the phone connected when you enabled it? If so disconnect and reconnect.

I did the same thing and it worked for me tho..

Also, you may want to check your phone's screen after you connect it to the computer. I had to "accept" my computer's RSA key before adb could detect the device.

I've done everything and tried everything I know to. I have restarted the computer, the phone, enabled and disabled usb debugging while it's connected to the pc and no conncected. I've installed the drivers PDAnet says to, but still my phone connects as if usb debugging is not on (says connected as media and pc doesn't recognize and install the adb driver). Is there anything I'm missing?

All I did was install install the S4 drivers from Samsung. Enabled USB Debugging. Plugged it into the computer. Waited for the drivers to finish setting up. Disconnected and reconnected again just to make sure drivers were loaded. And launched ADB. Nothing else.
Edit: Oh almost forgot. I got a message on the phone saying something about a computer trying to connect do you allow it. I hit always allow or something. Sorry don't remember exactly was too long ago. That is probably it because if you weren't watching the screen you wouldn't see it.
Edit2: LOL just saw captawsm's post. Yes what he said.

You guys on AT&T? I never got that message. I know nothing ever popped up like that. Did you get the actual driver from Samsung website for your phone? I just tried installed the one pdanet offered.

I did not install any other drivers tho..it was all default but it did ask me to confirm the computer's RSA key

Hallelujah! I finally got it working! It must of been a driver install quirk on my pc. For anyone else with this prob who used a previous phone with pdanet on the same pc like I did ( I used a samsung infuse prior). I went and uninstalled the samsung drivers that were already on my pc and then went to the samsung site and installed the newest ones they had. Hooked the phone back up and after about 6 or 7 seconds (have no idea why it took so long) the drivers on the pc started installing again and cha ching usb debugging was working correctly. The RSA thing popped up after that.
Thanks guys for assuring me it was only my problem and not a mass-wide problem to make me troubleshoot further.

I've been having the same problem but can't seem to find the drivers on the Samsung website. Could you please post the link?

Drivers
http://www.sammobile.com/kies/
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-I337ZKAATT

If your computer recognized (and installs drivers) when your S4 is connected via usb (not in developer mode) but does NOT recognize your S4 when connected with USB debugging this is what you might need to do. It took me 2.5 hours to find this.
Remember to have your phone set to MTP + ADB mode.
to do this:
in phone mode type *#0808#
Choose : AP on upper part and
for USB Setting, choose : MTP.

Hey, Bro, I found the solution
1. Goto C:/Windows/INF and search for wpdmtp.inf & right click and install it.
2. Turn on safe mode on your phone and then connect it to PC then remove safe mode.

Brother i think you have missed something. Open developer option and ON USB Debugging. If you connect your phone with PC then by default it will be connected as a charger you have to change it to Transfer Files.
Swipe down your notification pannel and there is a notification of USB touch that and new popup will open to phone and then change it to Transfer Files and you are done. Now you can transfer files.
I uploaded some screenshots to help you better.
Hit like if you think i helped you.

Goto device manager in pc, under portable devices you will find MTP device. Right click and uninstall the driver. A new icon with exclamation mark should appear. Double click on it, installation wizard pops up then click on ' browse my computer for drivers' then you find mtp drivers now install MTP USB Device... Not MTP Device. Just reconnect the phone. And the job is done.
