I can't get either one to connect (could be my firewall, but I allowed the UDP port mentioned for the first one and It still won't work) via wireless.
The second one supports Bluetooth but that won't connect either.
Any thoughts?

Hey everyone-
I was wondering if anyone knew of a way, or at least a theoretical way, to get internet on your phone via a usb cable using your pc's wired ethernet connection. The reason I ask this is because I've gone into plenty of areas where wired internet is available but wireless isn't? Any ideas or help would be appreciated, and if nothing exists I'm willing to partner with a dev to make this happen possibly. Thanks again.

I don't think there is a way to do this via usb yet. But you should try this
1. bridge your wireless and wired connection
2. setup an ad-hoc network on your pc.
This is assuming you are using a laptop and have some version of win7 installed. For more detailed instructions google both of those steps individually.
Here you go:

its written for the desire, but it should work just fine.
The questions are:
1. Can I access webtop on my laptop if I connect to the phone via usb or bluetooth?
2. Can I tether my computer to the phone via the bluetooth or usb cable?
This might seems redundant but I dont seem to find the answer to this. Can you access webtop via a laptop when you connect the phone with an usb cable? The reason I ask is because sometimes I would like to browse the net while Im at work and that would be the easiest way to actually do using the laptop screen and a external mouse/keyboard. I dont really want to just buy a monitor to take to the office.
Also, is my understanding that the atrix also works like a hotspot that will provide wifi access via the phone data connection. While that is great for most of the times that will not work when I am working with a virtual computer and I dont want to share the main pc connection. With my blackberry I just use the usb connection to tether the virtual pc and that way whatever internet use I do on the virtual computer does not flow via the corporate network.

1.) Maybe the "Motorola Phone Portal" app that came on the phone would work for what you want?.
2.) yes and yes. For wifi or bt use the "Wifi Tether" app, formerly "Wireless Tether". For USB use the "Wired Tether" app. You can find both with a quick google search, not in the market.
It dont seems that the motorola phone portal will do what I want which is using the laptop to browse the phone browser. I hate to tether specially since it seems AT&T is cracking on that but it seems is the only way to use my phone to browse the net on a larger screen. Eihter that or buying another monitor....
If you use the above apps you will not get caught tethering, I speak from experience. It's the custom APNs that are likely to get you in trouble.
As I have my phone on me at all times thought I might be able to use it as a trusted device for the tablet? Supposedly lollipop supports android use as Bluetooth LE peripheral but I can't seem to get them to connect in a normal fashion?
I have this working with my LGG2 (running CM11). In order for it to work though, you have to pair the phone to the tablet, then share the phones internet connection. It doesn't seem to be a good solution, as the devices only connect when manually selecting "internet sharing" in the BT phone settings on the tablet.
I'm also trying to accomplish this. Anyone else have a solution for how to use you phone as a trusted device to unlock your lollipop tablet?
As long as I manually established an active Bluetooth connection (by using an app like Tablet Remote) it will stay unlocked, but how can we get a paired trusted phone to establish a connection to a tablet without some sort of manual intervention?
Thanks.
anyone having opd Android phone with otg, can use it to have a printer server,that allows your usb printer to connect to local wifi.
many apps out there but i haven't found any one that works good.
will be more than happy to get a recommendation for that app.
thanks.
Hi all,
For some time now I've been working on Android-to-Android Tethering, which seems to be pretty difficult without 3rd party apps and/or HW peripherals (such as USB-to-Ethernet converters).
I've been working with a Rooted Samsung Tab Active 2 running Android 7.1.1 and several internet-connected devices: Samsung S8, Samsung S7 and also another Tab Active 2. All devices come with RNDIS support and have "Ethernet configuration" under connection settings.
I managed to get it to work using "EasyTether" with a client app and a server app. BUT, first, I don't like and don't want an app that controls all my networking data. Second, I don't understand how come we haven't yet done it with native Android configurations.
I tried connecting two device via USB cable using a standard USB-C to USB-A to OTG converter to Type-C (or micro-USB-B with the S7).
On the host device (the one with the OTG connector) I enabled USB tethering, but nothing happened. Tried pinging devices, but no dice. still, both devices recognize a connected USB-device and I can see their details using a USB-Diagnostics app.
Tried turning on Rndis as the USB setting - On some cases both Rndis interfaces up and running, with IP addresses, subnets and routes configured, but nothing. Not even a ping between devices. On other cases Rndis would be DOWN, but setting "ifconfig rndis0 up" would do nothing without printing any error.
I believe now that the Rndis drivers present in an Android phone or Tablet contain only the part of the client, while the host part of the driver exists on PCs.
I would appreciate some help with this.
Thanks,
Shedaim
Hi, sorry to reviwe old thread. But did you get anywhere with this? I am looking for a ethernet tether. I got the following adapter https://www.kjell.com/se/produkter/dator/mac-tillbehor/plexgear-multiadapter-for-usb-c-p61629 That worked great meaning it could power the phone at the same time as working as a usb and ethernet adapter. Internet to the phone with cable no problem. The phone (samsung A8) detects the adapter as a eth0. BUT there is no function to "tether with ethernet".... This is super strange that it has not been built in. Have googled it for ages but cant find anything.
