internet through a PC/Laptop - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

can Hero get on internet through a PC/Laptop with a usb cable?
I know wm allows you to do so.
I used to enjoy that function when i used a wm device because I do not have wifi in both home and office. And I have only a limited data plan.
Help/answer appreciated.

Try PDAnet

I think the OP wants something that works the other way - i.e. the phone connects to the internet via the PCs network connection.

Dave

Thanks skauk, but Dave is right. I want the other way round.
PC/Laptop connecting to internet via my Hero (mobile network sharing) can be done without any software i believe.
But in fact I want the phone to go to internet via PC/Laptop as I only have limited data plan.
Help is appreciated.

Nice font color

I don't think you can do this via a USB cable.
What does work is: Get a wireless access point and have your desktop share its internet connection over wlan. Better usability than a plugged in USB cable, too

Connect it to your PC with a USB cable, and make sure the ActiveSync partnership is working (ie, you can browse the phone from within My Computer).
Now head into the Start Menu on your TG01 and click "Internet Sharing". Make sure the PC Connection is set to USB, and the Network Connection is set to your Mobile Network. Hit the Connect button at the bottom.
That's it
Thanks, for your time, but is the way to connect with pc wireless i meant (and i dont want connect bluetooth) so i just wanna know the way to use my tg01 as wifi router.
perhaps with the program called 'wifi router' ?

google might help you out finding another program if that doesn't work. but that's not for free.

[Q] Connect GT9100 to Internet through PC

Hello guys,
I'm sorry if the reply to my question was already posted by I was unable to find it here or through google search.
I'm new to the Android world so this might be very easy to achieve although I was unable to find it.
I'm trying to connect my SGS2 stock KE7 to the internet through my PC. I wanted to connect the phone with the data cable to a usb port on my laptop and then route all the traffic. I went through the options but couldn't find anythign that could achieve this.
Can someone, please, give me some pointers?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Just go in to wi-fi settings and set up a hotspot. Your phone now works as a "wireless router/modem" and your computer should detect your wi-fi hotspot created by the phone
I thought Wifi/usb Tethering was to allow other devices to connect to the internet through your phone.
computer -> phone -> internet
And I want to achieve the opposite, Connecting to the internet with my phone by going through a laptop/workstation.

This is a bit off-topic, and I may have misunderstood your question, but this might be what you are looking to do -
1. Setup your computer in wifi adhoc sharing mode, so that any other wireless device can find that network.
2. Use your phone as the wifi device to connect to that network.
This is pretty easy - just setup a wifi network.
Many videos available on youtube -
Again, this is just one way of doing what I think you want to do-

What if wireless is not available?
Is it possible to reverse tether a phone to use a PC's internet connection via a USB cable?

Don't think that you can use the network over the usb cable it is not designed for that, may be someone else may know a bit more.
Theoretically a proxy agent app on pc should be able to do what you want above, over the usb cable, but it is better to use a wireless modem instead.

Ok, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I often find myself in the situation where I do not have phone signal or wireless available :-/
Maybe I should invest in a wireless access point to carry around with me!
Yeah, it's a pity. There are a couple of scenarios where this would be useful for me.
Thanks anyway for replying to my question.
AFAIK this a HTC sense only feature as i remember having this on my HTC desire
What I use is an Edimax Wireless USB adapter - EW-7711UAn. The hardware works really well, the software works well once it is set-up, but configuring XP to share its network connection through this is a bit tricky
This may help, I am sure there is similar for Vista Windows 7 around on the Internet

In networking, "ad hoc" is used to describe a (temporary) network between two equal devices. That is without any centralised access point or anything like that.

It's true that untill GB (if I recall correctly) Android doesn't support this type of connection, but it doesn't matter since Connectify creates a regular network (i.e. turns your computer or laptop to a wireless router) istead of creating ad-hoc network, therefore, you should use Connectify

Its quite simple.
there's two ways to do this.
1. Install PDAnet software from the android market in your phone and install the same in your PC. connect the USB cable from your phone to the PC and enable USB tether in PDAnet software. You will have a PDAnet icon in the systems tray in the your PC, right click on it and click on connect. You will be connected to the internet. that's it.
2. This is quite simple compared to other one. install Barnacle USB tether. Keep in mind that this software will work only if your phone's rooted. Install this software from android market. what this software does is that it will make your phone a portable hotspot, it becomes a wireless Router. you can give it a name to your network also enable encryption. turn the wireless on in your PC, scan and connect, you are good to go. you are on internet.
I use the second method, its very easy and simple.
Please don't forget to say thanks, if you like my post.

[Q] How can i surf the web on my PC using the 3g on my phone?

So instead of using proxys, etc at school, I'd much rather just use the 3g off my phone. Because it's quite obvious the software my school uses(Lightpseed Systems), is on the network itself(Nothing physically on the PC)....
Soooo, I know i can WIFI tether, but how can i tether via a USB cable?
What software is required on the PC?
And once i've USB tethered, how do switch to it on the windows machine?
Thanks a ton in advance for any help<3

Use Packet Data......

There is no packet data tick...I have network mode, and system select(cdma roaming mode)....
That's a good question. I've always just tethered to my laptop on like a long car ride n used the wifi tether but just kept it tethered to keep it charging. I'm curious as to how you'd enable it over a desktop PC with a LAN connection. Turn off the network adaptor? But I highly doubt a school computer would leave access to that.

Yeah thats what I was thinking.
I think i'm gonna try clockwork's app for usb tethering...Heard some good stoof about it I'll let ya know how it goes.
I can just see this REALLY handy for anyone who has a institution that blocks websites, or PC's like hotel computers that are stupid.

[Q] Internet Tethering PC->Phone via USB

Yup, you got it right. Due to slow 3G connection, it takes a long time to downloading anything at less than 5kb/s.
I know most people use Phone->PC, but I want the reverse. Transfer PC internet to Phone via USB, because I do not have a router.

It's possible but not by using USB....but using this program you can create an hot-spot and share your PC's line....

do you want to share your pc line with your phone?
Either via USB or Bluetooth, yes. I could also walk around and find a good wi-fi spot where I could download X apps at X speed, but if there is a way to do it home, even better.

so you can use this program: http://www.connectify.me/features/?refid=...
with it you can create easily a connection wich uses your LAN CABLE to connect your GS2 without bluethoot or USB!!! After you set the program in your PC go to your phone, turn on your wifi and the magic is made!!! you will find a new connection(the one you create with connectify program)!!:good:
TNX if i help you!!:laugh:

Dude. He said he doesn't have wifi on his PC. Connectify NEEDS some sort of wifi to create a hotspot.
OP, look up "reverse tether".

Perhaps your extensive technical experience can explain how a computer or network that does NOT have wifi can possibly create a hotspot while missing the requisite hardware to transmit a wifi signal.
Just use reverse tether. Simple
