Mr. kardes4 you didn't get the Mr. neo1691's point.
He want to access the Internet of his PC/laptop into his Galaxy without using Wifi
And this mobile ap let's to share the Internet of our Galaxy's "Internet" over PC/Laptop. and he want Vice-Versa.
Mr. neo1691 want the app that make the USB of Galaxy turn into the LAN kind of wire. And if we plug in the USB into our Galaxy, the PC/Laptop's internet starts working on the PHONE.
Right Mr. neo1691.

You got my point Mr madhuranand007... Thats exactly wat i want to know... there should be a way fo doing that...?

It can be done with changing a wifi card to Access Point mode, but you don't have any, right?
Through USB... hmm, you will need an USB Host option, but our CPU doesn't support that.
BT it can work, but I don't see any post to proove that. I know it can be done at SE P990. If you're an programmer, write app for that

use internet on galaxy 3 via pc?laptop
Hi evry1 ...
m using Samsung Galaxy 3 5801..
if it is possible to access internet through my pc/laptop pls tell me step by step procedure to do so..
Thanks in advance

Till date what i found via all forums that its not possible to share Internet via USB to Android..
looking forward for any positive response from senior member's...

Hey guys... i just stumbled upon some article in the newspaper that u can use ur laptop as a wifi router to share internet connection with your mobile devices..!!!!!
is it possible guys..!!!!
i am keepin my fingers crossed

Yes you can do that but not via USB.
what you need:
1. a laptop or pc with wifi adapter.
2. win 7. (this is not for vista and XP)
3. a tool like "Connectify" that is free.
this is very simple, just follow the instructions from "Connectify".
Good luck

Well, as far as I know there is no software to do it for you.
But still you have an option, you must set up an "ad hoc" network connection.
this will share Internet over your wifi or wireless LAN adapter.
Its not hard to do that just Google the "ad hoc" for instruction.

Connectify is working with win 7!
probably your problem is from the wifi setting of the cell phone.
For the other software (I'm not sure) but you can try virtual router.
and ... Internet from USB? I don't think it's possible yet because we need an enabled USB Host mode phone.
I think some people are working on that but it's still way to go.

Accessing PC internet on Samsung Galaxy 3 I5801 via USB
BTW this WiFi thing should be discussed in some other post. Isn't it? This post is all concerned about using PC internet on phone via USB.
I'm also looking for it. Please friends, someone do something to make it work.

Ad-hoc

you have several options, simplest is to connect a USB cable and then in the wireless and networks settings select phone tethering. You can also wi-fi tether on 2.2 by much the same method but it says wifi and you can also go by bluetooth. Any questions? Just ask

thank you, i know how to do it now

how to connect with bluetooth?

With froyo or gingerbread just fire up the portable hotspot app

Yes I have the same issues, but he is working on another build right now. I am sure they are working hard.

You do not need a app for this. Go to Settings<Wireless & Networks<Tethering &portable hotspot<and then select USB tethering or Portable WI-FI hotspot.
I use this ROM and I use the Portable WI-Fi hotspot like all the time.

In that case then I think you either don't have the correct drivers for your HD2 to connect in this way which is a easy fix. Just go to control panel while you have your HD2 connected via USB and with the Tethering on. Then go to device manager and find your HD2 there, you will know it when you see it, then click on it. This will make it drop down then right click on the dropped down device icon and select update drivers and then get from internet.
If this is not the problem open ActiveSynce or WMDC on your computer and uncheck allow USB connections and see if that helps.

For me, it works with my iphone but not working with my Mac Book.

I had the same issue, just yesterday I found a fix the WiFi tether app(wifi tether 3.0-pre11.apk) the older WiFi tether apk files did not work correctly. The on-board WiFi works great. You will know when you get the right file, the icon color changed from green to yellow. I have been testing this out for about an hour now and all is good...

Also I can receive e-mails when I am tethering via the on-board WiFi or tethering app, but I can not send them. Does anybody know why this is. This is the same with all ROMS, so nothing to with the ROM (which is great) ...Any ideas on how to fix this settings issue...Thanks

[Q] Tab will not recognize phone to wifi tether...help

I have an HTC Hero(rooted) and my wife has the Samsung Epic 4G(rooted). I have tested both phones with the same WIFI Tethering app and the Galaxy Tab recognizes and connects to my wife's phone...internet wifi works just fine.
When I test it on my HERO...the Tab will not recognize the HERO at all. I know that this works just fine with my laptop. I've tried the wireless tethering app and still no luck.
I have the wireless tether app V. 2.0.7 and the WiFi tethering app V. 3.0...no luck on neither one of them. Wondering why it works fine with my wife's phone and not mine. There was no need to modify anything on the Tab for it to recognize the Epic...but no luck on the Hero.
Any ideas????
I know it can be done.
Thanks in advance.

Search this forum and the Development Forum for Ad-hoc Network support.
The gist is this - your phone (and most older phones) only provides an Ad-Hoc network to tether. The galaxy tab requires infrastructure mode to tether and will require a few fixes that are provided in a thread in the development section to work with Ad-hoc networks.
The Epic will provide infrastructure mode which is why it works and the Hero does not.

The issue is most likely that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 does not see/connect to Ad hoc networks, which is probably what your phone is broadcasting. If your Tab is rooted. Check out the link below. I followed the directions from the first post and am not able to tether to my iPhone (had the same issue as you prior).

A simpler solution is to use the latest experimental version (3.x) of android-wifi-tether on your phone:

My tab is not rooted yet, but I will do soon enough. Just a little afraid to do so right now. I've rooted quite a few phones so I'm confortable doing that. Just need to read a little more on how to root the tab. I'll take a look at the link you provided and hopefully I can get this thing to work.
Thanks

That's what I thought as well, but my Tab will not recognize my HTC Hero(yes it's an old phone) but my laptop recognizes it with no issue. Hero and Epic 4G have the same wifi tethering app and Epic connects with no problem, but my hero will not. Damn, I want this thing to work.

I have the same problem with Samsung Infuse Phone rooted and had Wifi tethering working fine with my laptop, but not Galaxy Tab 10.1. GT 10.1 didn't even see the SSID of the Samsung Infuse. Not sure what is the problem with SGT 10.1 wifi.

I got v3 to work but only with any password. Does anyone how to fix this?

After doing this WPA supplicant zip thing...will this effect my wifi network(at home) in any way?

That's exactly what my Droid was doing. The new build of wifi tether didn't work for me either. Changing the wpasupplicant (I think that's what its called) fixed it instantly and now my tab can see all ad hockey networks like my phone and printer!

Is there a new Ad-hoc fix for ICS ?

As you acutal now the Galaxy Note didn't suported Ad-hoc in GB there was a trick and we just had to change the wpa_suplicant, but this doesn't work anymore with ICS. So anyone know if there is a new way to geht Ad-hoc function back to the Note ?

there is wifi direct option, i haven't tried it yet, but you say it won't work ?

My Problem is i don't own a wifihub for my internet connection but i have a stick wifi stick for my computer so i'am creating via Win7 an Ad-hoc network for my Note to get faster internet.
And this connection is normaly not supported by the Note, just the way that my Note opens his connection that my computer could use the Notes Internet....
I gave it a try to fix this problem with the way from GB and change the wpa_suplicant but this way doesn't work anymore..
The way via Wi-Fi Direct you mentioned neither work as my try the Note don't find the network and can't connect :-/

Why don't you try Connectify? It creates a wifi access point, similar to the one created by a router. I can confirm it works.

Somehow every time i try to install this programm it stucks at the downloading process... I try it again...
I wonder if there is a Custom Rom out yet which is on ICS and supports Ad-hoc, if so i could try to get the wpa_suplicant and try it out with that file...

Bumping this thread up. I went to ICS, loved it, came back to CheckROM NoteHD V6 because in I need to use my iPad's MyWi to be the hotspot. On Ipad, only Ad Hoc MyWi tethering is supported.

Even I would like a solution to ad hoc connection so use windows vista on my computer and I am not rooted

Just use TetherMe it enables native Wifi Hotshot [which isn't AD-Hoc, IIRC] on the iPad, has worked flawlessly for me on my last two iPhone 4's.
