I want to enable USB tethering on my Samsung Tab S6 Lite Wi-Fi (SM-P610) to create LAN with laptop so I can let SpaceDesk run with better stability. However after enabling USB tethering, Windows shows the LAN card (Samsung Mobile USB Remote NDIS Network device) as "cable not plugged", as opposed to my phone, Google Pixel 3, on which tethering and screen sharing work properly.
Is there any trick to enable proper USB tethering on this tablet?
I'll just reply to this in case anyone comes across it in the future through a search.
I found that Samsung Flow was interfering with being able to use USB tethering, and I had to force stop it to get it to work, I also installed the Samsung USB driver on my laptop but not sure if that made a difference.
However, I found the spacedesk connection worked better on wifi, not sure why, I might have to play around with it a bit.

I want to Tether/Share my modem over USB not BT, Wifi, if its more relable then the BT connection would be fine to.
any suggestions?
Im on a Macbook running the latest and greatest.
I actually use the bt tethering as it is just as fast as USB and honestly using the usb on the mac for anything other than charging would be a headache. second you can keep your 6800 in it's holster and connect just fine as well. sorry i don't have more info but it does work very well IMHOP.
TY

you will never be able to tether over USB because that requires a computer that recognizes that the HTC device is a LAN connection. and since the software was built for windows and the OSX drivers are not built in you cannot tether over USB
allright then maybe you can help me with my very unstable BT connection, 90% of the time im lucky to keep a data connection for most the 15mins until I get a unexpected error
This procedure works great for me, either with USB or over BT.

However it involves using a commercial program, but there is a free trial.

It's free and works perfectly.
Not only will it let you sync all your phone info to your mac, it'll also let you mount it as a disc and even use the internet connection on your mac via usb.
Hi,
I've been trying to connect my A70 to my HTC Hero for internet tethering but it just doesn't work.
I've tried the following methods
1. USB
2. Bluetooth
3. wireless tethering (android wifi tethering)
num 1 doesn't detect my phone at all, num 2 can be paired as through BT but can't tether and for num 3, my A70 can't detect my HTC Hero as a hotspot, it can detect all others ard it but just not my HTC Hero.
I have another issue with connecting my thumbdrive and external card reader through the micro USB port.
I have a host adapter bought through ebay and i tried connecting my thumbdrive and card reader but there's no reaction from the A70 at all. my card reader has a LED light to indicate whether there's power and it was lit up when connected but the A70 just doesn't read it.
I've tried another way which is to connect a external HDD whcih i used a Y-cable and connected the other end to a power source to ensure there's enough power but again the A70 doesn't pickup anything.
I'm really getting frustrated with these issues cause these 2 features were the selling point to me when i bought the A70 and now i can't use it.
Appreciate if someone can shed some light on this.
thanks
For the USB issues, you may be using the wrong cable. You need to use a USB host cable in order to read a thumb drive or to use an Android (or other) phone's USB tether. The cord that comes with the A70 is a MicroUSB B connector; you need a MicroUSB A.
As far as the WiFi hotspot on your Hero, does the hero do only ad hoc WiFi? I know the Droid 1 does. You cannot (at this point, without rooting and rearranging some code) hook the Archos up to an ad hoc WiFi.
For bluetooth, you need to use Wireless Tether on your Android handset, but you have to have the app set for bluetooth. Get that set, pair the devices, and start the bluetooth tether on your Hero. Then, go into the Archos menu under Cell Phone Tethering and choose your Hero (should be under available devices). Hit tether and you're good to go.

...maybe. I have a rooted HTC Incredible with Wireless Tether installed. A70 works great with wifi (which is the better option anyway), but will not tether with bluetooth. It will pair, but the phone doesn't show up as an available device in the A70 tethering setup. There may be another bluetooth tether phone app that will work with my Inc, but Wireless Tether does not. There is even a disclaimer in the app about incompatibility with some phones.
Hi!
I'm going out of my mind with this. I've tried everything in my knowledge to do.
So. I have the 32 gig version Samsung Galaxy Note 4 with the Snapdragon 805 processor. Wifi tethering on it works just fine but my desktop computer doesn't have wifi for now. If I use the built in usb tethering, EVERYTHING that has anything to do with my internet connections on Windows, freezes. It won't load Network and Sharing center let alone anything else regarding networking devices until I unplug the phone. I've tried using device manager to reinstall the device "Samsung NDIS internet sharing device" (or something), without solving the problem. I've tried using generic drivers, samsung drivers, I've uninstalled drivers using USBDEVIEW, I've reinstalled android drivers and samsungs own drivers, not solving the problem.
I tried using an app from the app store that uses usb tethering via USB Debugging and installing a 3rd party app on the computer that acts as a virtual networking device, but as soon as I connect the phone, the software on my Windows pc says "USB I/O Error" or something of such.
I'm going mad with this problem. What am I doing wrong?!
Oh...... my god. The frustration!
I plugged the damn thing on another usb port (which happens to be a USB 3.0 port, I don't know if that has anything to do with it), and now it works.
Why the hell does it have to be so random? Is there some way in Windows to just... RESET everything regarding usb ports and drivers and everything?
uuffffgghh

I tried usb 2 it's working correctly
Hi! I originally posted this question in the Android Auto section- however its not really related to Android Auto since its more about networking - or internet sharing capability of android.
If I connect a "car-stick" such as https://www.onlineshop-skoda.de/index.php/carstick.html, the car (a Skoda Kodiaq) should be able to provide a wifi-hotspot.
I could simply enable internet sharing using my Samsung S9, but I guess the signal would be better if the cars built in wifi-hotspot capability was used.
The phone is connected via USB to the car.
Could the phone be configured in some way which would enable it to present the type of network interfaces similar to what the earlier mentioned car-stick presents?

Your question is 100% not clear.
A recent broadband dongle is just a cellular phone w/o keyboard and display that shares the connection via USB networking.
Practically the same thing that an android Phone does when you enable the USB tethering.
The only relevant difference is that the former does that by default, while the latter requires a manual input.
BTW you can automate the usb tethering using tasker or some dedicated apps available on the store
So I just got a Galaxy S8 and discovered, much to my delight, that I can use DeX with the HP USB docking monitors we have at work. Plug in my phone and I've got the full desktop experience!
However, the other day I tried it and was stunned to hit a firewall on our internal corporate network. Previously when on DeX my phone was connecting to the internet via our guest wireless connection, but in this case it appeared that I was connecting through the corproate LAN. Now, that's not going to make the networking or security guys too happy.
So I'm wondering if there's a way to disable ethernet on the S8 so that I'm never connected to the corporate LAN when I plug my phone into the dock.
