I've been using the latest release of Tesla Coil, which really is a great ROM and I have had no problems up until now.
I have been tethering just fine via USB, using HTC's Internet Connection Mode whilst we change ISPs, but for some reason this morning it refuses to work.
I plug in the USB cable, I get the prompt on the phone and select ICM and then... nothing! The device isn't detected by Windows 7 (it had been coming up as HTC Ethernet Adapter 9k, or something similar.)
I tried enabling it by going into Settings -> Wireless & Networks - Internet Connection Mode, I check the box, get the little Mobile Hotspot prompt and then ICM becomes unchecked again.
I'm pretty new to Android and really, I solved my problem by using Barnacle Wifi Tether, but I really want to learn why this has happened and how to fix it

Hi!
I recently began using a netbook with Win XP on it and sadly it cannot connect to my HD2 set up as WiFi router. I can select it from the wireless networks list, it shows that it is an ad hoc network and asks for a key - but when I hit connect... the progressbar keeps running and running until I abort the attempt.
XP has all the latest updates, I updated the wireless driver to the latest, I tried it with disabled firewall... I even pre set the network manually (computer to computer, WEP and Key) nothing helps.
At the same time a Vista laptop can connect to the HD2 router just fine.
Any ideas? I'm out of them... And frankly I'm already sick of connecting my devices via cable to get online when my HD2 has this nice and otherwise working feature.
Solved... in a way.
When I activate the option in Wifi-settings that forces my computer to only connect to computer to computer networks it works fine. Maybe the connection to the HD2 takes too long to be established or the importance ranking of available regular WiFi networks is too high in the default settings.
But it is quite bothersome to change this setting everytime I want to change the connection type from computer to computer over to regular and vice versa. Does anyone know a way to nullify the network preference without blocking either of network types from being used?
This is how it is now:
When it is set to accept only computer to computer networks I can use my HD2 as WiFi hotspot but am blocked from using any regular hotspot and get a windows error message when I try so.
When I set it to allow all network types and try to connect to my HD2 I get stuck with a connecting messagebox with an ever ongoing progress bar - but I get no error message.
When a known regular network is in range Windows even connects with that, although the connection attempt messagebox is still there. Doesn't make any difference though if a known network is in reach or not. It doesn't connect to my HD2 either way.
I just want it to work without having to make adjustments every time
It is a huge security risk to do this but look here and check the "Connect to any" box.
That's exactly what I did... See above.
But thanks for the lookup!
Hello everyone,
I'm encountering problems with my S3. I have aokp_i9300_nightly_2013-06-15 rom installed.
When i connect my phone to my laptop using the factory usb cable, it only charges the device.
I tried removing kies and all drivers from my computer but it didnt help.
Also i dont see any options in my notifications area when i connect it. When i go to usb connection modes (MTP, PTP) i check/tick MTP but when i go back and go to the connection modes again, it is unchecked.
I have usbdebug enabled.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Samsung SIII tethering to Windows 8.
I have a similar problem tethering to a new Windows 8 laptop. Will the above suggestion apply?
I have recently purchased a Windows 8 laptop and I am having issues tethering my Samsung Galaxy S3 for an internet connection. When I try to tether via Wi-Fi the laptop shows 5 bars of connection strength, however, my laptop also advises me it is a limited connection and I am unable to access the internet.
I spoke to Samsung and they suggested downloading KIES, which I did. This did not change the situation as far as tethering via Wi-Fi, however, after carrying out a USB cable troubleshooting on the KIES program I did manage to get a connection via USB, but it is short lived and disconnects.
Tethering via Bluetooth is not successful at all.
Has anyone else experienced the same problem and is there an easy fix.
I am in a remote area which has good Telstra 3G coverage and rely on my mobile as an internet connection.
Any assistance would be welcomed.
Apologies if this has been asked before, but I've searched and couldn't find anything that matches what I'm after.
I have a GNex running custom 4.2.2 and Windows 7 x64.
I want to be able to access my phone from my PC. To do this, I installed AirDroid. All good so far.
Issue 1: Using WiFi to access the phone, it doesn't do anything when the screen is off/the device is locked. Annoying.
Issue 2: Using USB tethering, it works fine when the screen is off, but kills my PC's internet access. Also annoying.
I would like to use USB tethering if possible, but I only want to be able to access my phone via AirDroid, not use it for internet (my PC has a much better wired connection already).
More on issue 2: Windows says the DNS server is unavailable when I troubleshoot. The moment I plug in my phone and the NDIS-thingy connection is formed, I lose internet access via my normal connection. It goes back to normal as soon as I unplug it. I've tried changing the priority of the network devices, but to no avail.
Any help appreciated.
Solved my own problem.
To those who are curious:
Under network settings for the USB tether, set DNS server addresses manually, go into advanced settings, and set the default gateway to whatever your router's address is.
I have a question about my M9.
I rebuilt my desktop last night and could not find any working wireless dongles in my house. So I was left to download my phone drivers, via my phone, and install them into my desktop so it recognised my phone. After this I enabled USB Tethering to go onto my internet.
The problem I noticed is that the phone was using my mobile data, rather than my Wi-Fi connection, despite being connected to Wi-Fi and enabled.
Is there any way to turn my mobile into a USB wireless dongle and stream it into my Desktop? Seems like smart phones ain't smart enough to just push the best "internet" connection, into my Desktop lmao! I'm a bit of noob when it comes to software coding so I understand it might be a pure limitation on the device which restricts it.
Hi all,
i've got this big problem and i dunno how to solve it.
Stock rom, MIUI 12.0.3, no root, developer options active.
I ran into this annoying bug months ago, while trying to get my car's android auto working with my phone without using usb cable.
I managed to connect my Mi 8 lite with the car via wifi connection; made it enabling Android Auto developer options (otherwise it wolud let me connect only with cable). Unfortunately once connected everything doesn't work, because there is no data: while wifi is on AND connected, my phone doesn't "want" to use my mobile data, even if i force data use by setting "mobile data always on" option in developer options.
I noticed this is not a problem of my car's infotainmnet, infact it happens also if i connect my phone to my wifi network unplugging phone's line cable (and so internet data ) from my router. Also in this case, with phone mobile data always active, my phone will stay connected to my wifi (which has no internet) and won't use my mobile data.
Does anyone have any idea/suggestion or know what i'm doing wrong?
Thx in advance for reading
