hi, I bought my ace this week, a little question.
I want to download from "market.android.com" to my galaxy ace using data cable. I turned off internet conneciton on my phone, and downloaded a app on my computer, but not installed. when I turn on my internet connection, it started to donwloading using my 3G.
how can I use data cable?
You can't download apps using USB from the market.. You got to have internet in your device.. The best you can do is, download the .apk file of the app that you want to install. Then transfer it to your device using USB, then install it using any file manager...
Btw, why do you want to download apps using USB if you have 3g?

I have 3G but it is limited 100 MB for a mounth. I have internet at home, not wifi.
I set up a virtual wifi using (WEP, not support WPA) Connectify, but my ace couldn't see it, but my old samsung monte connected it.

reverse tethering
he is talkin about reverse usb tethering guyss..........
The first day that I used Galaxy Ace, when I connected to my computer with USB Data Cable, I tried to download Apps from market.android.com using Internet Explorer on computer.
Galaxy ace's 3G was working, then it started to download apps. So I supposed that I had downloaded with USB. Now I understand, it was dowloaded using 3G.

Is it possible to access the net using the USB cable and go to the android market? I don't have wifi/gprs enabled on the phone.
I think it only works the other way around, meaning you can access the internets from your computer using the phones modem. If your computer has a wireless adapter you can download connectify (free) and turn it into a wifi hotspot, works for me!

I got what you said, but i still want to know if there is a way without using wifi or paying the mobile service a large sum of money for net access.
You could always look for the APK's online (find the app you want, google appname apk) and just copy it over.
I am having broadband connection at home, but no wifi router. So I am unable to use broadband with my phone.
How can I connect my phone to my pc and share the internet from my computer.
Note that I don't want to use my ace as a modem.

this can be done in two ways!!
Either you get yourself ADSL modem +WIFI router and then use broadband on SGA or second method would be by
"Reverse USB tethering" you will need a Linux machine for that, because you cannot do it on Windows machine,(i don't say it is imposible but its not working right now)

That would be awesome, you could have a wifi router everywhere with you (as long as you don't forget to take the usb cable with you), just connect with the usb to a PC that has broadband, and then use the phone's wifi as a dongle.
I am currently in a situation that i would use something like that seeing that i have forgotten my dongle at home.
phone tether
There are a couple of different ways to tether your phone to your pc. One way is to use an app called PDA net, you can get your phone and computer setup through their website in about 2-3 minutes, super easy to use and you don't need to root your phone, the down side is unless you pay for the pro version all "https", secure sites, will only be accessible for a week. If you decide to root or have already rooted, you can download a number of different apps that give you the ability to use your phone as a hot spot without paying monthly to your provider.

=> use this app called FoxFi..its not on the google store..download it from internet..with this u can use the connection to tether via bluetooth in all devices..though, wi-fi routing works only in few..if it doesnt work..then first try this app to reverse tether(Reverse Tether build.2012.04.05.paid - torrents) and then use FoxFi..reply if it works or not..
AT&T detected my foxfi tethering and will now charge me for a 5g tethering package if I continue to use it. Greedy.... What does it matter if I tether? Bunch if nazis...

Even kies wifi needs a home network..

you can start up a hotspot on the phone and use SWIFTP to host an ftp server off the phone
Use the phone's Wifi Tethering option or the freeware "Connecitfy" on the computer to create a Wifi network and then use an app like SAMBA Fileshare to transfer the files.
Afaik Wifi Direct is a software-only protocol which uses sort of apoint-to-point Adhoc network so there is no reason why computers should not be able to use it, at least no technical. You'd need the corresponding tools / drivers though and to my knowledge none such exist.
I have always found es file explorer to work extremely well. You do need to spend a little time to become familiar with interface but really is great for moving files etc. I use it to over files on/from/to my htpc if the wife is watching her junk. Just make sure you have a static ip on your pc to allow for auto login when you open app rather than scanning and login in every time
ist about that you are awesome because tou are imaginary or exist in another world
Hi
Both Intel (My WiFi Dashboard) and Qualcomm-Atheros (Direct Connection) have a client that is supposed to be "WiFi direct" certified and should allow for Direct Peer-Peer connection between the Phone and PC without the need for an access point or other routing device.
I have been unable to get either to work with my SGH-i927 Captivate Glide !
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/wireless-products/my-wifi-technology.html
The only place I could find the Atheros client was on OEM sites like this for Dell(Sony and HP also have it)

Hello
I would like to use my galaxy s3 as wifi dongle.
I know you have to connect via wifi and then tether.
But this doesent always work.
Isn't there a better possibility? (Except easytether, connection is unstable. It sucks)
I am using a touchwiz based rom.
May an aosp rom help?
Thank you in advance
Odun96
You want to use you're S3 to get internet on another device correct? If so I believe some people from CyanogenMod ate working on making it possible to use your phone as a Bluetooth dongle so you may be able to connect to your device that way.

Lets say it this way:
I plug in my galaxy.
Cinnect it to wifi.
Then i tether.
In the xp connection manafer it says cinnection established.
But even if i cant acces the internet it doesent work. Just sometimes after fourth or fifth time.
Or could it be an OS issue?

Hi, this happens to me all the time. Even when i was tethering with my previous phone (I9001).
I just turn on the data and tether through wifi and when i tried to use the internet it just wouldn't work.
If you wait around 2 to 3 minutes after u enabled both, it should work correctly (when the little yellow triangle from the wireless connection in the task bar disappears). I usually do not turn it on and off, i rather wait.
using it for wifi is tethering. no other way
Glebun your wrong.
It worked sometimes.
I reinstalled Windows and flashed an aosp rom on my s3.
Works like charm now.
Thank you all
What wifi adapters can i use with my s3 9300i cm14.1
