[Q] USB Tethering - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm using CM7.0.3. When I use wifi hotspot I have no problem at all but when I use USB tethering on my desktop computer or my laptop it will stop loading sites after about 2 minutes. Any ideas?

Do you mean the ones from the HTC sync program? If so, yes I do.

Tether Via USB?

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.

[Q] USB tethering (T-Mobile, UK)

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?

usb tethering rocks

something my last desire never had and something i didn't even know the ns had. after completely screwing up the build system on ubuntu here, it was something i desperately needed. my wifi drivers are borked, so i can't access wifi and was considering a complete reformat, until i noticed the menu option...
thank you ns!
Yeah pretty sweet, i use the portable hto spot option quite a bit , very nifty indeed
btw: is there something like tho opposite of that? sharing a wired pc internet connection with the ns via usb.
Yes. You connect the USB to your nexus s. Then you don't turn on the USB storage. Go to settings wireless options and click on tether.

uhm no - that's regular tethering, isn't it? I meant the other way around. The pc is plugged in to wired internet. And I want to use that for surfing on the phone without having wifi or mobile data activated

Hmm maybe a dev will get on top of this
Oh ic. Sorry. I read that wrong. I don't think There is a simple way to do it. I remember there's a program that lets you turn your laptop into a wireless router. You plug in the Ethernet to your laptop and use the program to transmit the radio like a router. You can probably then use the phone's wifi to connect to that. Ive never tried it but theoretically it should work. Good luck

ehmm...
usb tethering is not something like
" i connect my laptop with the usb port of my NS that(my phone) has internet access over the mobile network and i can use that on my laptop either"??
i mean wi-fi tethering is "sharing" phone's internet connection with other phones/wi-fi enabled devices to access the internet via wireless connection...
so usb tethering should be the same but with cable obviously..
or am i getting something wrong here?

no. that's a hotspot. meaning devices connect to your ns like a router. you can even set a password and session id for your phone

[Q] Usb tethering issues

Good evening folks and welcome.. So I just got my new place and comcast is taking ever so long to turn my internet on. So my laptop is fine doing the wireless tethering. Unfortunately not for my desktop. So when I plug my usb into my desktop, it says trying to install new hardware. Has some wizard window pop up, but that really doesn't help.. So phew now to the question. How do I get usb tethering to work on my desktop using my phone (evo) and my laptop?
I use PDAnet for hardwire connections to my desktop

There are separate downloads. There is a download for your phone (the app), and there is also a download for your computer that you also have to install.
I am not able to post links yet, but here is where you need to go:

Use Android device as wi-fi hotspot to share PC internet connection.

Hi I have a PC connect via ethernet to the internet, I would like to connect my phone to the computer so I can broadcast my computers internet connection to my iPad for example. Don't want to use mobile data tethering thanks. I can use either a HTC Hero or Samsung GS2. Is this possible at all? any apps that will let me do this?
I'm not sure if it forces mobile data when hotspot is enabled.
If not, I'd connect the phone to the PC using internet pass through with mobile data disabled and hot spot enabled. I'm unsure if it will use your PC's internet when broadcasting though

You want your computer to be a Wi-Fi router? Try Connectify. You will need a Wi-Fi card to make it work.

I'm also looking for the same kind of thing...but couldnt find any..
The series is like Computer(with internet) >> Phone(Getting internet via "Internet Pass Through") >> Broadcasting that internet using WifiHotspot
Is that possible?

If your computer has a Wi-Fi card/builtin, you can use something like Connectify to turn your computer into a hotspot.

Like a PCI card or it's built into all laptops built in the last ten years.
If I had a wireless card..I wouldnt even bother about getting a phone with "Internet Pass Through"
What I am asking is "A Desktop without a wifi card but has a wired internet connection needs to provide internet to a laptop"
What are we having with us? - A Phone with "Internet Pass Through" enabled
A Desktop (With no WIFI card)
A Laptop (With a WIFI card ofcourse)

Laptop would work. It has built-in Wi-Fi and probably a 10/100[/1000] ethernet port.

You still don't understand mate...
What I meant to say is
PC is WIRED with broadband connection...It is passed to the phone using Internet Pass Through...
Now THE GOLDEN QUESTION IS HOW TO BROADCAST THIS INTERNET(that is present in the phone through IPT) USING ANY HOTSPOT APP!

follow this reverse tethering guide (i've tested this one and it's working):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371345
and when it's done... try and activate the wifi hotpot feature of your android phone.

Oh gotcha. Sounds like you got an answer above but if that doesn't work, hook your phone up to the laptop and use an app like Connectify on that laptop. Sorry I didn't understand.
