i managed to setup usb tethering on my desktop.
but one problem remains.
when first set up it works good.
but then after some inactivity time the connection gets lost.
like typing a long(5-10) minute responce on the forums usuallydoesnt go through... kinda frustrating.
and then after i unplug the phone the internet connection doesnt work anymore.
it shows tethering plugged in on the phone.
the network connection shows up but it says disabled. and when i try to enable it manually it doesnt do anything but slow down my PC.
i unplug and plug it back in many times with no result
the only way to work around it is to restart my PC which is kinda pain in the ass.
bump anyone can help?
would still like some help.
whats the proper way to disconnect the phone from PC while tethering?

After 2 days of hitting my computer and swearing at anyone around me who interupted what i was doing, i finaly got activesync working with my BT dongle. :lol:
Sweet as anything. After messing arround with the network settings i also managed to connect through the LAN internet connection with activesync and go back to using GPRS when not (like the way it works with USB)
Bags of fun!
Guess most you guys know how to do this anyway but if not give me a post
I got mine to work too, but have given up on it now because acivesync was so infuriating. It expects you always to use the same connection type rather than going through each available type and using the one the XDA is on.
I generally only wanted to use it intermittently (for surfing from the living room); at other times, I'd not have BT on to save batteries, and when cradled I wanted to use USB. The stupid dialog box that always popped up saying "bluetooth connection not available, do you want to try again or change your connections" (answer: no, I simply want you to use the USB connection that is working) was just too annoying.
So, did you find a way around this, or did you just unplug the USB and always use BT?
I can turn off BT and still use USB just have to change the com port in the settings else it wont work. Find BT very slow tho for transfer of files. Could not get the BT working with activesync 3.7 cos it would drop the connection and then say com port open cant connect when i tried to connect again. Then i would have to restart my pc and still end up with the same problem. 3.7.1 seems to work much better.
My activesync don't wanna connect me with BT,I have to enter in Connection settings and all the times select Port Com 5 to connect via BT..this from some days..
Hmm..think I have to reinstall "ActiveBuggy" again?
Hello everyone,
I wanted to know if there is a way to prevent the phone from getting disconnected when the USB Cable is unplugged. What I mean is that as soon as I unplug my phone, the Internet Sharing thing on the phone gets 'disconnected' in a way that if I have to reconnect, I'll have to hit the 'connect' button on it. I want it to remain connected, so that as soon as I replug the USB, it automatically connects the internet.
Is there a way to do this? Kindly help me. At times my PC gets restarted, I want the phone to remain in the Internet Sharing mode so that as soon as its restarted, it keeps itself connected to the internet.
Hi All
I searched the Forum but couldn't find a solution to this problem.
1. Came back form holiday yesterday - synced up my HD" with Outlook no problem
2. Tried to do it this morning. By the normal 'connect PC' option didn't come up and activsync icon didn'tr light up on PC
3. Rebooted HD2 and PC..no change
4. Tried to repair/reinstall activ sync, but towards the end of the repair it says 'there was a network error reading from file 'setup/msi'. Guessing that the file may be corrupt, I downloaded it again..same problem..so I can't repair or reinstall
5. There is definitely a connection of some sort as the HD2 begins to charge when connected
Bottom line is that the HD2 is not syncing - and I can't figure out why not.
Any advice appreciated...
Thanks
Do you have a Norton (Symantec) firewall installed? I’ve found that the Norton product can interfere with ActiveSync.
Active Sync not working
Good point..but no. I have AVG installed (and everything was working OK yesterday)
Spooky thing is, I have managed to uninstal, reinstal and reboot..and it still won't show that it's connected with AS even though there is a connection of some kind, cos the device is charging.

ActiveSync is just a bit crap. It'll do this occassionaly, so if you use it a lot then get used to it.
A restart of the phone, whilst the USB cable is not plugged in, usually does the trick. Only plug it in again when it's fully started.
Also, try setting the AS connection to not allow USB connections, unplugging and plugging back in, and then setting it to once again allow USB connections.
Just messing with it like that usually works for me. Like I said, it's just a bit crap.
Activ Sync
Yeah, I seem to recall I had this problem a while back - I'll faff around with the settings and see if it makes a difference

Well if johncmolyneux's suggestions don't work then try disconnecting your phone from the PC, restarting both, disconnecting the PC from the network, disabling the firewall element of AVG (if it has one) and then connecting the phone to the PC again.
If that doesn't work I can only suggest removing ActiveSync, totally shutting down your PC, starting up, then re-installing ActiveSync.
I had a similar problem but I was able to narrow it down to Norton in the end but it's a real pain when you don't know why it won't work.
Good luck with this.
I also occasionally was not able to connect with Active Sync, but rebooting the HD2 always fixes that issue. You said that this did not helped you, so try messing with the settings on Active Sync, like johncmolyneux said, also try when plug the usb cable into the device by default it asks you what kind of connection you're establishing (Active sync, data transfer and internet sharing) - try using data transfer, if it connects, unplug and connect it again, this time use active sync.
Reinstall activsync and Try to disable faster data Synchonization on HD2
Active Sync not working (solved)
That'll teach me to not check the obvious! - It turned out that the cable had developed a fault. I changed the cable and it's now OK.
Case closed.

Okay, today I connected my hd2 to my computer like normal via USB. When I connect it, my service via 3g or edge completely turn off! I have to disconnect the USB and reboot to get service back. I tried going to airplane mode, etc but only a soft restart works to get my signal back.
Any ideas?
I've noticed that too. It's like you lose your internet as soon as you connect to your PC. At first I thought, WTF?? But I think it's common. I've learned to accept it. : /
loss of phone too
The thing is I loose ALL connections. That means I lose my phone too. Which is not how it has been for the last month. All of a sudden I don't have connection anymore while tethered via USB to my PC to sync my files. That is weird.
Hi,
Not sure if anyone else has experienced this issue so here goes.
I regularly connect my Desire Z to my PC in Internet Pass-through to get data for updating apps and Navdroid map updates.
No problem connecting and the data throughput is great.
However, once I have disconnected the phone from the PC I have lost 3G/HSPD connectivity. The only way to get these back is to restart the phone.
I have tried turning on Airplane mode, and then turning it off - no success.
I also tried turning off data and then turning it back on - no success there either.
Is this a known issue or has anyone else come across it. Anyone found a solution if they have, bar restarting the phone that is.. ?
Thanks,
Des. . . ; )
Yeh this also happens to me, though only sometimes. Unfortunately, all I've been able to figure out in terms of fixing it is just restarting.
Data connection is not the only thing that glitches for me with internet pass through, sometimes the other types of USB connection stop working as well (e.g. the phone will not be seen by my windows machine when put into removable drive mode after being in internet pass through) until I restart. Essentially, even though internet pass through does not always cause problems I always restart after using it since it seems to be good at glitching other things out and probably messes up things I don't even notice at first.
This has happened to me several times...
What I noticed is that whenever I disconnect the phone while it is in Internet Pass-Through mode, I couldn't get my mobile data connection to work afterwards..
So before disconnecting, maybe you can try changing your USB connection mode, say, to Charge Only. When disconnecting from that mode, mobile data works.. at least in my experience..
Hi,
Might be worth a try, that. Czechton can you try and see what sort of results you get?
Thanks,
Des. . .
I will second that - this problem occured for me everytime I connected the phone in the "internet pass through mode" - I also noticed (although I did not keep track to check if this solves the problem EVERY time) that if I change to the "charge only"
mode and then disconnect - I get back my mobile data connectivity back
