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

[Q] USB Tethering

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?

KIES wireless?

Today there was a new KIES update and it seems that there will be a wireless connection to it... but how?

i think the touchwiz update will have the capabilities for the wireless Kies... did you get the touchwize update? where did you get this Kies update?

What software do you use on windows to connect to kies?

For the first time I was able to connect with Kies. USB connection never worked. I am able now to sync contacts and memo and calendar.

I installed Kies 2.0 on a Windows 7 machine and was able to connect via wifi after the TW update, but the version of Kies they currently have for the Mac does not work. Just for some fun, I contacted Samsung chat support and the Rep told me that Kies isn't even made for Windows! And that "kies wifi" just means you can connect via a USB cable while your on a wifi network! That's some top notch support.

WOW LOL

Just for the yet-to-be-informed, you have to have the latest Kies installed on your PC and the TouchWiz update on your Samsung tablet. Run Kies on the PC. Then go into settings/Wireless and Networks/Kies via Wi-Fi on the tablet. Pick your PC from the listed devices. Once you've connected the first time, you probably won't need to have Kies open before you initiate the connection on your tablet. Kies will leave a little behind to watch for the connection, then open up.
I have it working well, except that Kies freezes up occassionally. My PC runs Windows 7 64bit.

Run Kies on the PC. Then go into settings/Wireless and Networks/Kies via Wi-Fi on the tablet. Pick your PC from the listed devices.

I tried doing that and the Tab 10.1 doesn't find my computer on the same WiFi - it just says No Devices after scanning.
I've disabled my firewall on my laptop just in case, but still no luck. Any ideas? Thx

Just keep trying. Mine didn't see the PC at first, but found it on the second try. My PC is wired on my network, with tab using WiFi from the same router. Not sure your PC can be connected to the internet via WiFi and still connect to the Tab via the same WiFi. Seems like it "should" work, but that may be one roadblock. Working fine on my system. I have a notebook PC arriving tomorrow or the next day and I'll put Keis on it to see if I have the same luck.

I feel dumb for asking this but what is kies? What does it do? Is this a samsung only thing?

its like a samsung itunes.

Yeah, though not as bloated or laggy ... but I was hoping for plex like media streaming capabilities, but sadly not supported ...

Found a way around it. All I needed to do is connect my Galaxy Tab 10.1 through the usb cable first, and then Kies would recognize it through WiFi afterwards. I guess the Laptop and Tab needed to meet each other through USB first.

kies does not see it or something, it keeps telling me to disconnect and reconnect, this is when i try to do with usb. when i press kies via wifi on tablet icon, screen gets a gray hue over it and does nothign...

I have it working with my Wifi 10.1- and I'm using Win7 in a VirtualBox window on my Ubuntu machine. The one thing that kies won't do is copy arbitrary files to my SGT. What a pain!!
There is a workaround- add the ".pdf" extension to the end of your file name (foo.apk.pdf) then you can do a single file copy to the SGT. Kies does a great job of playing gatekeeper so that you don't put anything harmful on your SGT. Heaven forbid you might root it or something.

I have the opposite problem, I can connect to it via wifi but when I connect USB kies does not recognize it.

Unfortunately Kies became useless as in the new version they dropped the ability to synchronize with Outlook!

I had this same problem. Could connect fine via USB but nothing happened when trying to connect via Wi-Fi other than the tablet's screen graying out. After doing a factory reset it's now working for me.

Finally have wifi file transfer
My MAC with lion would not connect to the 10.1 wireless or USB. Today on PC World they had an App WIFI File Explorer. Free download crippled and $1.60 Pro version. It is in the Market & Amazon.
I have the pro version and can transfer files wirelessly now. To me it was worth the $ rather than fight with Samsung.

About connecting Note to Kies.....

Hi all, my Note cannot connect to Kies....which after I checked with the internet is a very conman problem for Galaxy. I still want to make it works and I have some questions if anyone can help....Thanks in advance!
1) I checked some web site that to connect with Kies in computer (mine is Win7 64 bits) that we should first go to the phone's Setting-->About phone-->USB connect-->connect with Kies....... However in my Note there is no such setting in About Phone and I checked all areas in Setting but there is no USB connect-->Kies....... where is it?
2) Although I cannot connect with Kies at my computer but I can still use MTP connection is that all with Note?
3) If I cannot connect with Kies do I still get update from Samsung? I noticed that in my phone setting--> about phone section, there is one are that can click in to check updates, so what should I do?
Thanks again everyone....

Kies will not connect to 7" Tab, Galaxy S or Galaxy Note on my 64bit Windows 7 Ultimate system. Have tried older versions, latest version, Repairing and numerous drivers as there are posts elsewhere of 64bit driver issues. Works fine in MTP mode and Kies Air.
Have no such problems on XP professional.
Glad I am not the only one but it seems to be a Kies problem rather than the phones/tablets.
Any help would be appreciated by those of us suffering!

The USB connection utilities are under Wireless and Networking, however chances are your Kies issue is because you have USB Debugging turned on.

No - it's off - as I said, it works fine with all three Samsungs on my XP Pro machine but not on Win7 64bit machine. However, ADB works fine on both machines so I'm pretty sure that it's a problem Kies has with a driver.

ah good to know win7 ult 64 doesn't support it, that explains a few things. But why isn't total commander copying and pasting to it. ?

My 7" tab can connect to kies running on a 64 bit win 7 ultimate and home basic without any issues.

My SGS connect on my 64bit Win7, not ultimate though. I can remember that it couldn't connect at first, I think I had to change the USB Settings. Give it a try

Am from Hong Kong....may be is the WIN 64 bit problem, I am using Win 7 professional not ultimate, and will continue test it, may be DL Kies from UK....
BTW what funny is that I send this problem to Samsung all they said is to reset the machine to factory default and try..... guess not much help....

Connected fine on my win7 64bit ultimate. Must be some other issue. Impressed with the functionality

I agree with post #8, had same problem, phone unlocked from UK, downloaded Kies from UK samsung site and no problems on Windows 7, 64 bit. Try download from different Samsung site.

are you using any other launcher? Tried on my wife's phone the other day (different phone). It only connects when the phone is in the Samsung Launcher with every apps closed.

64 bit fine. I had a similar issue until I saw one blog article that said "once USB debugging is off *kill all tasks*" - did that and it worked fine.
Have to say, the concept of Kies for firmware upgrades works really well (as a piece of consumer software) though, as a colleague said, you can see why they are in hot water with Apple - it's a direct rip of iTunes!

Yep, I hate both with a passion

Won't run at all !
Kies UK won't run at all. I immediately get "Kies has stopped working" The phone shows up fine in Explorer. I'm Windows 7 64 bit.
I tried :
Uninstall from Device Manager then reinstall.
Install as Administrator.
Uninstalled Windows Mobile Device Manage
I tired every Kies thread Google showed. 5 hours so far.

I got likewise. Think it was related to the USB drivers. Worth making sure USB debugging is off and the phone pops "MTP connection"* in the title bar prior to trying to run Kies.
My anti-virus also affected it. If you run, turn it off prior to installation - if you've already installed, turn it off and to a Repair (Change) from Add/Remove programs.

Win 7 Home Premium X64 plus UK Kies plus German Note = success for me. No drama, no hoops, no fiddling with antivirus or firewall settings. Easy peasy.
The only issue was needing to disable USB debugging on the phone, which was not made at all clear in the message issued by Kies.

Windows 7 64-bit home premium, no problems with this or the sgsii....

NO luck on my iMac
So i tried my laptop with windows 7, when i connected the Note it had to update several things. That took a while, and i ahd an update from Kies. After all that it said immediately that there was an update for my Note with a few improvements. I bought mine in The Hague in The Netherlands, but it is a German version. He is stil busy as we speak, at 99%

It started working for me on win7 64bit after I unchecked USB debugging under applications-->USB debugging. If memory serves I had the same problem on SGS.

To share internet, you can use tethering and portable hotspot. It works beautifully too. I can tell because I use it always.
