Hi
Bear with me as I know very little about this ( and did look! ).
Can someone tell me or give me a link as to how to tether my phone to my laptop so I can get my laptop online when out of a WiFi zone.
I'd prefer to do this by WiFi ( linking phone to laptop ), but if not then by USB cable.
I use a Mac, my phone's rooted, and I run Villian 2.1 ROM or Modaco 3.1
cheers
Well, the MoDaCo ROMs come with a wireless tethering app, so switch it on!
Bear in mind though that wireless tethering hits the battery very hard - in fact, even if you plug the phone into the charger, it will drain faster than it charges!
Regards,
Dave

Why would the tethering be so much slower than usb connection is there some settings i can adjust to help this. I'm downloading around 29mps and uploading around 15mps on the usb,but only around 5mbs and 3mbs (on my laptop t-bolt still maintains the 29-15 ish) up with wireless tethering app.I want the wireless due to the usb takes my t-bolt off the internet nad its less trouble to connect my other system when i use it also my t-bolt batt wont stay up for using usb.
are you using wireless tether for root users?
or the built in verizon tethering app?
I've tried both just about same results
Hi
I ordered my Prime and i'm waiting to be delivered.
I'm wondering if it is possible to share my 3G from my android phone with the Prime
I know i can do this with my windows laptop.
This way i can save the battery of my phone instead of using my phone as an accesspoint
I don't know about bluetooth, i think it also will kill by battery
yes
Thread on this in the Questions section, recently solved the issue with Ad hoc networks.
Portable hot spot enabled on your phone should do it.
USB tethering may be possible and use less power
Dont know about BT, I've always found it fiddly to get working although it may use a bit less power than wifi

HAHA Another Thanks virginity broken!!! man I am tearing it up!!!! Ok so it seems your question has been answered. I just wanted to let you know that we have a questions and answer forum.
I get the impression that the OP was actually asking about using his phone's 3G connection with a wired tether since he specifically mentioned not using it as an access point in order to preserve his phones battery.
To be honest, I don't really know and my Prime is at home whilst I'm travelling to work.
However, you should be able to connect your phone to the dock via a cable, and then use the WiFi Hotspot functionality as your dock will keep your phones battery topped up.

In the short testing I did, I found BT tethering to give the best battery life. USB tethering will drain the dock battery by charging your phone, so isn't always better.
BT tethering on my HD2 with ICS uses around 6% battery an hour on the phone, so easily enough on a full charge to keep up with the prime, even when docked.
I bought the Prime with the naive idea to not use my laptop on my trips.
Now I carry two computers instead of one, or I should leave the Prime at home
* The ad hoc is not working so I cannot connect to my phone (Nokia).
* Android cannot handle connections that need redirection of the website, I cannot connect to my hotel WiFi. I can do it on my laptop or even my symbian phone, but not with the prime.
It's so annoying... and I don't want to root the stupid tablet.
THIS IS MORE OF A TECHNICAL POST RATHER THAN A ANDROID QUESTION BUT I DIDN'T FIND AN APPROPRIATE PLACE TO POST THIS.
Hey guys this is my first post here. had been consulting xdadev for a while now.
My problem is where i go to college i get roaming and i cannot use my internet there. so i though of this solution,
Buy a usb wifi dongle which takes 2G 3G Sim cards and converts into a wifi signal. the one i wish to buy is Huawei E355 (Wifi Dongle) Data Card.
Use a battery pack with a USB output the one i saw is really cheap has a 5v output by the description. DigiFlip Essential 2200 mAh PC004 USB Travel Charger. <Help me find out if a battery pack will work with the dongle, i have no idea since this is my first time using a 3g dongle. (using wired internet to a wifi router in home.).
I was thinking if i can just connect the usb wifi router with data card in it to the battery pack and put it in my pocket. and use internet via wifi,
Let me know if that's possible.
I tried searching for a similar post but was unsuccessful if you know of any which is already solved please send the link.
Thanks a lot. :laugh:
Hello Everyone,
I have my phone rooted on 47A with mobile hotspot / tethering working.
My question is has anyone found a device that goes from micro USB port on the phone to a Ethernet port and wired from the Ethernet port to a switch or router? or better yet it also has the ability to charge the phone at the same time?
What I want to do is, if my main ISP for my house goes down. I want have a Dual WAN router fail over to a connection where I plug my phone in with USB tethering and get the house internet up and running as temporary fix. I know there as Wi-Fi devices out there that will work in client mode off my phones Wi-Fi but I want to be able to hard wire everything for the best speed possible.
Thank you
I found something in the link below from HP. Not sure if it will work to charge my phone, but its the idea.

Hi!
I don't have much to suggest in this area. I do know that USB->ethernet adapters exist, and you could physically hook one up through a USB OTG adapter. I don't think it would work that simply, but who knows. I definitely doubt such a setup would charge your device.
The adapter you found sounds promising for both working and charging, since it specifically mentions Android.
Charge it up.
Use the integrated micro USB port to connect your tablet’s AC adapter and charge your tablet while you work.[1]
[1] Charging supported on Android™ tablets only.

In the future, please post questions in the Q&A section. I'll ask a moderator to move this thread.
I have such an adapter https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Ether...+RJ45&qid=1682626537&sprefix=,aps,1864&sr=8-3. And unfortunately, after connecting it to the phone in the hotspot and tethering settings, the Tethering via Ethernet option is greyed out. I've set hardware acceleration in developer options, have Data Saver turned off, and set the default usb connection to tethering. The phone is new and freshly updated. The adapter definitely works, tested on the previous phone (Samsung S9+), another Samsung A5 phone and even on a Mac tablet. Is it possible that Sony is picky and I need to buy a better adapter or do you know any other tricks. I read on reddit that a friend has a 2.5GbE one that framework sell, realtek adapter and it works fine for him on SONY 1 IV
if your doing this to a pc you just use a usb cable it tethers over that
on locked down devices like consoles or something idk you might be out of luck i have never tethered a phone that way always used usb or wifi hotspot
No, as I wrote earlier with the previous phone I used and it works normally. I need to connect the car with an ENET cable (BMW).
Idk there maybe an Ethernet adapter out there that works but that is a much more niche way of doing it especially to a car
Look for Ethernet adapter that people say worked on older Sony phones if any
the way i would do it is tether phone to laptop and laptop ethernet to car
