[Q] Tethering on version 2.2 as a modem via usb - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is ANYBODY using the Streak 5 tethered on version 2.2 as a modem via usb.
If so, how did you do it? I want to use the AT&T data plan.
I just updated from version 1.6 to 2.2 because they said on this forum that I'd be able to tether via modem.

Finally got it all to work! Here is how to do it.
Get the driver you need here:
dell-streak-5-tablet-driver-download
PdaNet app for Streak5 via usb to Samsung R580 laptop running Win7 Ultimate 64 bit
The install went fine as long as you follow directions ...
1.) Download PdaNet app from the link.. version for Android ...
2.) run app to install on your PC ..
3.) the program will ask you to connect your Streak via the usb cable ...
4.) Before Connecting go to Settings|Applications|Development| click Use Debugging
5.) This one not needed…
6.) Close All PC Apps ...
7.) Then following on Screen directions Connect Streak..
8.) Status bar USB alert .. Select it and choose ...DO Not Mount
9.) the PC will then Detect new hardware ... choose auto-detect and wait for install to complete ..
10.) Wait for install to completely finish ... (follow on screen connections)
11) Go into the apps on your Streak and run the PdaNet | Turn PdaNet ON
note: as the app is updated the prompts may change ... so look closely
at your pc system tray as well as the prompts on your phone.
ver.2.4.1 has a button that says "Enable USB Tether" (click it)
12.) Now return to the PC System Tray and Click on PdaNet icon to Connect ...
Yea... Connection to the internet ... via your Streak...
This posting was all done while connected (tethered -- via Streak) I did not Try Wifi to check it out ... so not sure if you can connect thru your home Wifi...
BTW : Your Streak will also be Charging from your laptop during this as well ...
Connection was at 2.4 Mps ... not lighting speed but better than not being connected ... and why I wanted it as I'm on the road alot.

[SOLVED] MIUI 1.4.8 issue can't connect to PC

I can no longer connect my Vibrant to my PC (it doesn't pick it up). I could try using another kernel but I can't use Odin to flash to...obviously. : /
Solutions?
i am having the same exact issue. this is the second time this has happend. the first time was during the dead horse test kernels which is what i believed to have been the cause when there were mount issues going around. a warrenty exchange was done and now that this has happend again, i am beginning to think this is due to hardware failure of the phones usb port, even though the phone still charges. suggestions are openly welcomed. have tried...
swapping usb cables
switching usb ports
different computer
flashed back to latest bionix (mount & odin was working fine)
flashed back to older overstock kernel 1.4.2 (when working fine)
rebooting phone while usb connected to pc
enabling / disabling usb debugging
possible cause may be not safely removing hardware from pc? but if that was the case, i would think curruption of the sdcard(s) would have happend.

Where did you get the nexus S drivers? I'm having a hard time looking for it.
Just search Nexus S USB driver. Should be the first link. Download is on the top left bar. (be sure to run the SDK manager as admin on windows 7 or it won't download the driver)
After I flashed the new kernel on my phone I plugged it into my PC but windows couldn't assign the driver automatically so I had manually add the location.
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver

[Q] USB Driver Installation Problems

I have tried multiple times to install the USB drivers for my Optimus T (LGP509TN) running CyanogenMod 7.1 (6.5.8). I've tried installing, uninstalling - tried using the LGmobile agent to install... 5 of the 7 install fine but the LGE Android Platform USB modem and the USB Mass Storage Device fail. (see attached image called "usb installation")
When I turn on USB tethering, another USB installation routine runs and fails. (see attached image called "after turning on USB tethering". In Device Manager, I get a bunch of exclamation marks. (see attached image called "Device Manager".
USB storage actually will work - but takes a long time to kick in - and often crashes. Same with USB tethering. I've tried numerous different USB cables so that's not an issue.
Although I have an LGP509TN, I'm not sure if I should be installing LG509 drivers or LGP500 (as I'm running CyanogenMod 7.1 for LGP500). I'm not sure if there actually is a difference between the two. I've tried both and get the same issue.
Any direction would be sincerely appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave
Hi ,
I am also finding same problem. installed cyanogenmod
I took back up in ROm manager but not in recovery mod.
LGE android USB Modem fails to install.
Rest things are installing and working fine.
Help me out if you have found the soultion.
For you what i suggest is.
1. uninstall LG united drivers through control panel.
2. Re install it and turn on USB Debugging mode in your phone and connect it.
Everything will get installed. But not sure of LGE Android USB MOdem. IF you get soultion let me know even
I've tried everything that's been suggested. I've tried many different versions of drivers. Uninstalled, reinstalled.... Sometimes I'm even getting the Blue Screen of Death on my laptop when trying to connect the phone using USB. Wireless tether continues to work flawlessly. It's simply the USB connection that doesn't seem to want to cooperate.
I'm starting to think it might be a hardware issue - except that everything else with the phone works perfectly. I'm also going to buy a couple of new USB cables to try to determine if it might be a faulty cable.
1. Turn on USB Debugging mode
2. Connect USB
3. Then drivers stopped installing, turn off USB Debugging mode, but do not disconnect usb cable.
4. It will install some drivers and says all OK
5. Turn on USB Debugging mode (do not disconnect usb cable), and all drivers will be installed.
This is my method, and it worked for me.
Thanks for the instructions. The challenge I face is that the 2 devices never complete. (See screenshot.) If I close the dialogue, it tells me of the failure. When I switch on USB Debugging, it doesn't connect.

Experiencing similar problems with getting the USB drivers required for native tethering installed successfully. Running Windows 7. A walkthrough of clearing any existing drivers then reinstalling the proper ones might help. I've tried uninstalling via the control panel, system, devices area, but a complete purge/deletion of the drivers might be needed. Any pointers to a proven way to do so would be appreciated.
dude this happens to me week ago
first tell me are you running .32 kernals ??
if yes then flash it once aganin
or use .35 kernals it's best for cm7 series

[Q] I rooted my GN and now my computer doen't recognize it, any fix?

Hi Folks, I rooted my GN a few days ago with no problem. Now that I want to flash a Recovery to Install a ROM the computer don't recognize the phone. I have tried a few methods that I saw online with no results.
Looking for some help! Thanks in advance!
On a Windows machine go to Start/Control Panel/Windows Update. With the phone plugged directly to the PC, not a hub and click "check for updates". You might have to do this a few times and reboot, I did.
Odds are you tried this, but just in case....
USB Driver Not Being Recognized For SYNC
Following are my observations and possible steps to
5. solution lies in the phone
a. key in the dialer *#7284#
b. it has 4 option there..
UART (MODEM/PDA)
USB (MODEM/PDA)
c. For USB. select the PDA. If it already selected to PDA, reselect it by select MODEM and then PDA again.. Only change the USB setting.. and then press back. try reconnect.
6. The Laptop will start recognizing the required drivers and install them
also Phone is not recognized by laptop when it is in USB debug mode, MyPhoneExplorer does not recognize when it is not in Debug mode

I rooted the stock GB yesterday then flashed DAGr8's ICS rom with a ton of mods afterwards and mine is functioning fine.
I did notice a Samsung driver available as an optional install in Windows Updates. Is that the one you tried to install?

[Q] Connecting my SGS2 (sgh-i777) w new operating system (WINDOWS 8)

Okay, so I just updated my computer to Windows 8 and cant figure out how to connect my phone to the computer. I would like to access my interior and exterior card thru my computer but when I connect it with the usb nothing seems to happen. A small screen will pop up saying it is installing the device, but then it just finishes installing and still does not recognize the device is connected at all. Do I need to install any certain programs on my comp? I'm running ThunderBolt Rom v5 - 4.1.2..
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Try connecting it in Download mode and let it install drivers, then remove ur phone, reboot phone and retry connection.

Tried it. Still no luck. Its connected but only charges. Comp still doesn't recognize it. I think Samsung needs to release drivers that are compatible with Windows 8. Are there none out there as of yet?
When I was running the win8 preview once I plugged in my phone it installed the drivers make sure you're connected to the Internet. I can't say if the final win8 is the same. Another way to get the drivers would be the Android sdk package but that is a lot more in depth.... GL

I'm running the Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation and am able to connect in both MTP and USB mode. Maybe you could also try installing the USB drivers from Samsung's website. They are for Windows 7, but should work for Win 8. You could probably try installing Kies as well, run it and connect the phone and see what happens. Also, try changing the connection mode if the rom supports it.

QtADB (visual ADB)

I just stumbled upon this application and man I was like WOW, I am impressed about its idea of having a GUI for ADB features. It has tons of features, enough talk see screenshots for details:
QtADB Website
myawan, please try out the instructions to connect to your phone via wifi. I've tried it, and couldn't get it to work. It seems to connect, but isn't actually able to send/receive any information.
