Hi there,
I'm running cyanogen 10.1 on both my N7 and my phone (Samsung galaxy s2). Unfortunately, since moving from cm 10 to 10.1 on the SGS 2 the wireless access point stuff has stopped working properly - other devices can see the wireless AP and connect to it, but there is no internet connection once connected (and the wireless icon stays grey, indicating no connection through to google services). I tried bluetooth tethering but unfortunately the problem is exactly the same - no internet connection. I've googled this problem, and have found other reports of it, but no sign of a fix.
So, i figured usb tethering was the way to go. Connected my n7 to my phone using an OTG cable, turned USB tethering on on the phone, but when i navigate to the USB Tethering settings page on the N7 ("Wireless and Networks">"More">"USB Tethering") USB tethering is greyed out and "USB not connected" is written underneath.
Is there a way to get USB tethering working?
Cheers

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?

Recently my windows 7 machine has stopped recognizing my defy when i want to usb tether for some internet access. Wifi tether seems to work, except my phone loses battery even when plugged in.
I've tried rebooting, my computer and phone, but can't figure out why it no longer recognizes usb tethering. i haven't changed anything on either my defy, or pc. Tethering looks like it's working on the defy.
Any ideas?
thanks

Hi,
I am struggling with an issue regarding tethering on my nexus 4 stock.
First, I have a plan for tethering with provider.
When I turn on the shared connection via WIFI, I am not able to connect to internet from my device, even if the device is not connected to my PC. If i turn on the shared connection via usb or bluetooth, i can then use itnernet on my phone. It looks like an issue between tethering and wifi.
Other issue is i can not get a bluetooth tethering or even USB. I am stock with this issue for days and was unable to find any answer in the forum.
Your question is not really clear, (or I'm too stupid to get it), because your last sentence contradict the previous one.
Anyway, Tethering allows you to share your Mobile Internet with other WIFI capable devices. This is a quick guide on how to do it. Note that you cannot use the wifi on your phone while tethering, you have to use Bluetooth tethering or USB tethering, if that is the case. Here is a guide from google.
And just out of curiosity which version of android are your phone currently running? Because there was some reported tethering problems on 4.4.2
Hello,
I use my phone as a dedicated modem for my pc. I used to have an S5 that did the job pretty decently, now with the S7, I can only tether for a few minutes before the internet connection is completely shut down on the pc's end, the phone keeps connecting to the internet without any issue. I then have to disable and enable the tethering back again to get it to work.
This only happens when using USB Tethering, WiFi hotspot works fine.
Any ideas ?
Thanks
