Hello,
I am using an X10i. I've been wondering, are there any ways i can connect my phone to the internet using my computer's modem?
I am not trying to connect my computer to the internet by using my phone as a modem. Do not teach me how to do it. My question and that question are two different questions.
Thanks.
If u have a mac u can use its wirless as a hotspot if u connect it with internet cable. I do that for my phone. Hope this helps
Cheers

yeah ,turn your pc into a wifi hotspot..use softwares like virtual wifi router for windows 7
Note:it will work only if u use a cable to connect ur pc and have a jobless wifi in your pc..
you can also connect using bluetooth,i tried once but failed ,didnt tried much,it wasnt worth that much effort!!
pls dont be naive... not every wifi card supports wifi hotspot even with special applications and tools, and the native windows 7 could make only ad-hoc whis is not supported by android 2.1 or 2.2 as I know...I've read many forums and finaly bought wifi router and what I can say its that its really worth to have it...
yeah wifi card also imp..but most modern laptops and PC are quipped with such wifi cards
I can always use my Vaio for wifi hotspots with my X10..never faced any problems!!
It's not possible through USB. It possible with the stock function of win7 or software for your pc. (Only if you got wireless wifi card in it ofcourse)

I wonder why there isn't still an app which lets you use your pcs internet through bluetooth?

I'm using Windows 7 native wifi sharing right now, it broadcasts as a regular wifi network with WPA-2. I use it for phones, consoles, etc

Because it will eat batter, no far distance supported and your internet will be ssssssssssssssssssssuper slow.
^^^This is true. At 2.1Mb/sec of throughput, the Bluetooth will be the slow cog in that wheel of connection.

AGAIN!!! Not every wifi card support it!!! I ve tried ale possibilities (ad hoc, bridge) without succeed...with ipod touch 2G, samsungs i8510, i8910 everything worked, so the problem is only with X10 and android!!! You could make wifi hotspot only with newer or supported cars (my NTB is 3 years old and has unsupported intel wifi card) so this is the deal...

I wasn't arguing that all cards support it, I was just saying that when it IS compatible with your card, it isn't adhoc.
Try using Connectify on your computer. It is free. If it manages to create the hotspot on your wireless card, your mobile will be able to use the new hotspot connection created. It has worked for at least 3 of my friends and it enables me to share connections on my laptop no matter where I am.
Alright i been trying to decide between transformer and nexus 7. I just spent the last hour trying to transfer a video file from my galaxy s3 to the transformer. I have yet to be able to do so, i used an app called wifi shoot and was able to transfer to the N7 but since there is no Wi-Fi direct on the transformer jelly bean update does anyone have an alternative?
But not looking for FTP servers.

I would suggest to try free variants like Swift FTP server. Have been using it from the beginning of my android adventure, works flawlessly
Use a FTP client like FileZilla to configure the device. Assign manual IPs for each of your android devices in your router and save as different devices in FileZilla, click and connect over WiFi.
The transfer speed is limited only by your WiFi connection speed.
This is one of the free software alternatives

That won't work while i'm on the go and don't have access to WiFi. Was in the car with both tablets and needed to transfer a file from my phone to the tablets and with WiFi-Direct and WiFi Shoot it was a snap and the file was transferred within a minute on the Nexus 7, I have yet to do this on the Transformer do to the lack of WiFi Direct.
Why in the world would Asus REMOVE WiFi Direct in the JB update?
I don't want to start FTP server on the phone and share a hotspot etc WiFi Direct with WiFi Shoot was so simple and effective.
Anyway to add it back without flashing CM9/10?
@nooktablet
will have to try that and hopefully it works.

sorry but it won't work, because you still need a wifi hotspot to make it work, and you said you're in a car you don't have wifi hotspot,
basically either FTP or Wifi transfer pro or any WiFi transfer method still requires you to have a wifi hotspot to work, this wifi hotspot is where the 2 devices can transfer files, this wifi hotspot does NOT need internet connection, so even if your wifi hotspot can't go to internet, you can still use it to transfer files.
so what's the solution? use your android to create a virtual wifi hotspot? how? i don't know . on computer i usually use connectify. i believe on android there should be a way to do it.
hopefully you understood what i meant, 'cause i'm not good at explaining

that is the most likely app that works similar to wifi direct and wifi shoot.
@Others
I can create a wifi hotspot with the s3 and did that while in the car for internet on the tablet. Its just I don't want to create a hotspot then start a FTP server every time i need to transfer a file on the go or carry cables. If i ever take my tablet on the go its mainly to watch videos or play games but not for browsing the web so it that sense wifi direct was such a simple way to transfer files.
Bluetooth file transfer might have to do until the JB bootloaders security are beaten and i can install CM9/10.
EDIT:
Using bluetooth file transfer and trying to transfer a 300MB avi will take at least 15 minutes which is extremely slow, god i hate why they removed features. I wish i could install CM, anyone have any idea if that will be possible in the near future or are we in for a long wait?

in case you are still interested in options of sharing thru wi-fi or wi-fi direct, please check out my app "PeerDeviceNet" which does exactly that and more. it supports android2.2+, allowing sharing web pages, contacts, photos videos and other docs. in my own tests, i tried to send 2G file successfully. it has been on google market for a while. unfortunately i cannot post the link here (too new to post external links). you can find the links at my web site: peerdevicenet.net , or search for it at google play.
hope it helps.

For phone/tablet i just make hotspot with wifi tether for rooted users from phone.

Have you tried the app X-Link? Does what you need (File transfers via wifi network across devices).
these are all great suggestions but all require the devices to be on the same network. So this will not work if i'm sitting on train or something which is why wifi direct was so easy and did not require devices to be connected to a wifi network.
I know i can still do this and use any of the above apps using wifi hotspot and will try them out.

PeerDeviceNet works over wifi direct without requiring external wifi net. it works with wifi net with the same ease. And it is free app. Give it a try.

There's and app in the play store called wifi file transfer and you could go on either of the devices and download files back and forth. And it's free.

Not sure whats the trouble with my N7. My Win 8 laptop fails to see it in the MTP mode. It does see it sometimes if I change to PTP but then the data copying capabilities get limited.
I was trying to capitalize the "WiFi Direct" to move files from my Note-2 to N7 but looks like there as well are some problems. I can pair but I can't transfer no files.
Are there any options other than the USB OTG? I personally hate carrying extra stuff, however small it be. Since the phone would always be with me, its the most logical thing to carry all the data (have odd 40gigs available) on the phone and transfer to the N7 wherever the need be.
Anyone ?
Bluetooth?
If you don't want to go otg then I don't see any other option if wifi won't work.

Bluetooth is slower than a snail.
The issue is some frakked up rights issue. The devices pair fine via wifi. The transfer gets rolled down by some "Transfer not allowed" $hit. Even NFC doesn't seem to be complying.
I am very sure some custom ROM would get that fixed but then what is the point? I need pure google experience.
May be some app on play store?
In the worst case I'll sell this thing off. The Note-2 is good enough for most of my needs except for movie watching (and book reading (and internet browsing (and timely updates (and simplicity (and.....:silly))))

Good option while at my home but not when I am on the move. Transferring big files is again a hassle. Not to mention the data network dependency. I just need something which can workout directly between the Note-2 and N7.
Installhttp://fdmobileinventions.blogspot.com/p/fast-file-transfer.html on phone. It uses WiFi tether in your phone. On tablet to receive file(s) you need to connect to WiFi and enter link in browser. I bookmarked link for easy use.
No data connection on phone required.
I've used AirDroid to transfer files between two Nexus 7 tablets. They need to both be on the same WiFi network so it is not direct. Just install and start AirDroid on your Nexus. Then direct the browser on your Samsung to the web address and enter the password - both listed on the Nexus. Files can be transferred in either direction. No need to install AirDroid on the Samsung.
You can also connect your Nexus to your PC this way.
Nexus Media Importer is another possibility. It will import files from a flash drive to your Nexus over an OTG USB cable but will not transfer files from the Nexus to the flash drive.

Thanks to both of you but unfortunately thats not what I am looking at. I wish to have direct transfer, without needing any extra wifi router to be dependent upon. At home I have this Belkin N600 to which I can attach my 1TB USB drive and all the data is available over the network. Accessing stuff at home is not a problem. On the go, I don't have high speed internet or my LAN. Thats where I am seeking possibilities.

Hey. I tried to send my files with SuperBeam from windows to phone. Its quiet fast. Works good.
yes i use it to but its quite anying to startup the prog, then press send and drag drop files in it, then start app on pnone go to recieve, scan or enter code and then you get files,
i was hoping it was more easy like bt or usb, just connect and drag drop files on the path you want them but unlike my old nokia, samsung dont provide software for bt , wifi direct , its only the main prog and usb connect

So as we all know, this device has USB 2.0 which is way too slow to transfer my 50 gb audio files.
Does anyone know what is needed to transfer files over the MIMO wifi? Is there such thing as a WIFI direct but using the MIMO antennas so that I can transfer files directly between my OP5 and PC at 866 mbps?

But I'm not sure it supports WIFI Direct
Will it make such difference in real world? I can get about 350Mbit over USB 2.0, over Wifi Direct about 470Mbit.

That's why I want to see if there's a way to use the MIMO antennas for WIFI Direct since each antenna has a bandwidth of 866 mbps.
I want to know whether there is a 802.11ac wifi adapter (all 802.11n and 802.11ac devices support MIMO connections) for the PC that supports WIFI direct so that I can transfer files wirelessly at faster speeds than USB 2.0.

Yes you also need a MIMO adapter in your pc.
Superbeam works with and without WiFi Direct.
You can have your PC, "cable" connected to a router with at least MIMO 2x2 capabilities. And OP5 connected to the router. Not sure about the WI-FI direct option, if it supports 2x2 MIMO.

MIMO Works for me. Although, I think data rates are based on CPU capability. So if you throttle your CPU Cores you will transfer at lower rates.

Hey Atlantian, can you tell me the model of your WIFI adapter? And also what transfer protocol you use?
Alright, so.
I misspoke. I overlooked an issue that I had not noticed while using Superbeam.
I had to uninstall Superbeam on my PC and Android to notice this. The PC version doesnt support MIMO Direct. I had setup the SB = "Superbeam" the day prior to this post. and the data rates are based upon your routers capabilities.
Im currently using the Asus ROG Rapture Wireless AC5300 Tri-Band Gaming Router.
MIMO technology (MU-MIMO)
2.4 GHz (4 x 4)
5 GHz-1 (4 x 4)
5 GHz-2 (4 x 4)
I mistakenly skipped a step and turned my WiFi on when doing this.
Apparently, the direct connect doesnt work for "Android to PC" direct connect.
Sorry to get your hopes up... it was in error.
The solution is very easy. I installed MIXplorer from xda this is great file manager. In the option menu choose servers TCP server on device where you want to transfere files. Pick up the device from which you want to transfer the files run mixplorer long press on files or folders to select them go to menu and choose send to. Choose the found device and transfer files or folders. On the receiving device you can define also folder where the files have to be transfered, if not they will be placed to the root of internal storage or sd card.

Oh I see, you used Superbeam but with your internet network. So how fast is your internet connection?

Thanks for the tip, but I know how to use FTP transfer. But now the question is, can FTP transfer be improved over TCP connection with MIMO wifi?
