Can I use the USB host adapter to tether to my android phone for internet access?
[edit]
Even connecting to a USB verizon modem would be am option?
Thanks,

You want to use a usb modem stick? Asked that b4. It seems impossible. It would be great though. If someone could dump or cook a rom from the 3g version to detect the USB modem in the wifi version, I would get rid off my cradlepoint router.

@peare: Are you referring to this thread? If so what was the outcome? The thread appears to have run dry with a request for dmesg. I suspect there is a similar problem with the phone tether needing an NDIS driver, I wonder if these could be installed on a rooted device without cooking the ROM?
It shouldnt be that difficult i suppose. I dont know linux, so i cant say anything. We need a line in wireless settings to point us to a APN. 3g model has a modem installed, I am inserting the modem externally. So whats the big deal? Some drivers and an application should do that for us.

I have rooted 2.3.5 S2. I also have router and a laptop that doesnt have wifi adapter. Now im wondering if its possible to use s2 as a wifi adapter? I would connect s2 with usb cable to laptop and then tether internet from the router trough s2 and usb cable to computer. Is is possible? What software do I need?
Possible without software
settings\wireless and network\tethering and portable hotspot\usb tethering
that 's it!
Thanks it worked on Windows 7. But I also have Windows XP and it doesnt work there. I assume I need to install driver? Which one? Kies? Is possible to install only driver and not kies because I dont want to have that piece of sh*t on pc?
Bump! Anyone?
Just install kies thats it!

I've got a strange problem with this x10i phone, I'm not the owner of this phone, but someone I know gave it to me cause she thougt the phone was dead, I dont know what problem she experienced because after I put the phone to the charger it just booted like there was no problem. One problem that I encountered after I turned the phone on though is that my homes wifi network is not showing in the network list. I do not have this problem on my own samsung galaxy 3 and since I'm not familliar with this phone I'm not sure what to do. I want to help the girl who owns this phone out by putting some usefull apps on it, so does anyone know how to solve this problem? The phone is running on stock Android 2.1 Eclair.
Is it a Ad-hoc network?

I don't know if Your samsung can see the Ad-hoc network, so it would be better to check it. If it isn't an ad-hoc network it may be a ROM problem. I would suggest You to install the stock ROM 2.3.3 for now with SEUS.
P.S. Doing that will erase all of the phone data (not the sdcard)
Next problem

The phone doesn't seem to get connected to my pc via usb. It starts charging but there is no usb icon or anything like that. I'm on Windows 7 64bit with Sony PC Companion installed, the same problem happens on a 32bit XP. I connected with a usb micro cable that was laying around, not with the official cable that came with the phone, could that be a problem? Anyway, anyone got a solution?
Edit: The usb port didn't make contact very well I think because when I pushed it in further it showed the icon and I'm able to connect to pc
Just succesfully updated the phone to 2.3 stock firmware (wich hurted my fingers because I had to push in the usb cable the whole time ) The problem with the wifi still persists, wifi networks from the neighbourhood showing up, but my home network isn't... Any more suggestions?
Edit: figured it out myself at last, phone didn't see my own network because it was on channel 13. I've changed the channel to 4 in the router and now it works just fine
Hi,
I have TAB264 Yarvik. Only thing I need is to connect it to the RasPI and make USB tether. I test it on Arch Linux on my notebook. I can plug my phone with usb tethering allowed and than I am able to connect to the internet.
However, there is no such option on my TAB264. There is original ROM (4.2.2). I have installed some USB tether apps but nothing worked.
Do I need root or even new ROM? Or is it hardware dependent?
Thank you.
P.S. I can see the tablet in ADB if it helps.
Hi. I was given an LG-P769 to use as a Wi-Fi only "phone". It has Android 4.1.2 with a software version of P76920h.
I want to remove the T-Mobile apps because it won't be used on their network or any other network. I also want to install a newer version of android.
I am unable to connect it to a PC because the phone keeps saying connected and disconnected no matter what cable I use and the cables do work with other Android Devices.
I mainly run Ubuntu but I do have access to a Windows box but I don't see that helping because of the problem with connecting over a cable.
Did you followed all the tutorials carefully? Correct drivers? Manual replacement of them? If yes - this have to be a hardware issue, your microusb is gonna die soon
I found three guides that I followed. I messed something up because I was getting a security error or security violation message. I was able to use a different laptop and re-flash the T-mobile image onto it so the USB port still works. it could have been my cable Do you suggest a specific tutorial?

I recently noticed that my wifi only z4 tab is missing the portable hotspot/tethering menu from the more... menu inside settings (it's completley gone not just disabled). I tried the fxp aosp rom and it has the options for tethering but nfc and screen rotation don't work on that rom + there is no recovery for it that i could find (androplus one wouldn't boot into recovery so i guess its just for the stock rom). Is this something nobody has on the z4 tab or is something wrong with my device (the option still wasn't there after reflashing a factory rom with flashtool)? Does anyone know a way to enable at least the USB tethering as i need that the most or is there a recovery that works with the fxp rom?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as it is becoming more and more annoying working with the small screen of a phone (i use the usb tethering to make the device act as a display for a Raspberry PI with VNC).
Afaik wireless tethering / portable hotspot is only possible with the LTE version. It's logical too, on your phone you can only wirelessly tether your data connection, not another WiFi network.
I don't know what exactly you want to do with USB tethering. Do note that you might need to use the 'detect USB' function for USB stuff to work. By default the USB port is not checking for attached devices, because of the waterproofness.

Ah okay... That's a shame... but thank you for telling me anyway, its the first device i have that had the option missing (2013 n7 WiFi only has it and its useful to connect the tab to a WiFi and tether with USB to a computer) so i didn't really know what to think of it Maybe any idea on how to get the androplus recovery or any custom recovery working with the fxp aosp rom? If there is a way I could at least flash gapps and supersu.

I can only guess based on what I've read, but I suggest checking the AndroPlus kernel thread or starting a new one with this specific question.
