I am running CyanogenMod 7.1 (stable 6.5.8). I think it's great. Thanks to all who have contributed.
The only issue I am experiencing is with USB tethering. When I use Portable Wi-Fi hotspot, I have no issues whatsoever. When I use USB tethering, my internet connection randomly drops. When I turn off USB tethering for about 5 seconds and then turn it back on, it connects almost instantly. Sometimes I stay connected for 15 minutes - sometimes 1 minute.
If I were experiencing the same issues with the Portable Wi-Fi hotspot, I'd suspect I was working with a poor data connection - but the Wi-Fi hotspot is completely stable and almost nevers drops the data connection.
I prefer using USB over Wi-Fi because of battery life on my phone and laptop.
Any suggestions as to how to resolve would be appreciated including recommendations for other USB tethering apps.
Thanks in advance for your help.

use pda net from market...

Press THANKS if I helped...
Thanks for the response. Sincerely appreciated.
So I installed PdaNet and my phone froze up after I connected it. Something to do with the USB drivers I suspect. After removing the battery to reboot it, I removed the LG United drivers, reinstalled PdaNet and all seemed fine. However, I'm still getting the frequent disconnects.
When I go into Device Manager, I see 3 unknown devices all referring to "on LGE Android Platform Composite USB Device". Are the drivers that get installed with PdaNet all that is required or do I need the LG drivers as well? If I need the LG drivers, could you please point me to the best download location as there seem to be so many variation of them. (I have an LG Optimus T).
Any suggestions on how to rectify would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for any further direction.

Hey guys, i've searched around here and PPCGeeks but can't seem to find an answer.
Obviously I have a Touch Pro and I want to tether it to/with my Vista Laptop. I'm currently using WMWifi Router and it works fine but it drains the battery and the phone gets REALLY hot, rendering it unchargeable until it cools down.
I know I'm not the only one that is trying to tether with Vista so how are you guys able to do it? I can tether with XP no problem.
I've installed all the hacks, registry edits, fixes, and nothing.
Any help?

I was tethering this weekend using hte usb cable. It was working fine on dcd rom 0.92. However, I tried wmwifirouter 0.89 and it didn't work at all. I'm not sure why, but I had to reset the registry with the crash cleanup in order for the regular tethering to work.
My phone has been getting warm with heavy internet use, but I am in a low signal area. It is the phone using a lot of power to get to the network.
I tether all the time. I use Internet Sharing. Open Internet Sharing on your phone, then connect the phone to the computer/laptop using your usb cord. Then hit connect on your Internet Sharing and voila - internet on your computer/laptop.

Me too. I took a trip this weekend and just used Internet Sharing. Worked every time like a charm. I'm using it with NFSFAN's latest ROM and Vista Ultimate.
I am tethering with Vista and my TP all the time, in fact i am writing this using that connection with my vista lappy and TP(wm6.5+Shell3(no touchflow)) with wmwifirouter(1.35) via 3g(sprint) and wifi. Thats the worst possible configuration for heating up the TP and thus stopping the charge. Here is how i beat it, try this steps one by one until it stops overheating and lets you use net and charge at the same time:
1) turn off screen on TP(saves batt life as well as heat)
2) + slide the keyboard open(better heat dessisipation(sp?)
3) + take out stylus
4) + set it up so TP is standing up(lean it on something)
5) + point a regular fan at TP(thats where i am at atm but the temperature inside my room is close to 90F)
I've been online today for a total of about 40 mins(heavy downloads and 6 tabs open) and still charging(step 5)
Thanks for the pointers Pesok.
I know how to tether.. i've done it for a while with my old XP laptop. The whole "connect usb, internet sharing, etc" is second nature to me.
I should say I'm using the stock rom.
I've been using PDANet and/or WMWifi depending on how much battery life I have.
As far as the conventional method, internet sharing, connect, etc.. it's just not working. I must be missing something

You do need to install the Windows Mobile Device Center Update. You can get it here: Mobile Device Center 6.1 This is for 32bit, if you need the 64bit version go here
Even though you may not sync the device, it install's the driver that is used when it acts as a modem in internet sharing mode. I used it with Vista and Windows 7. Windows 7 is good enough to automatically download and install the driver saving you the time.
If you have done this and it still doesn't work I have some more troubleshooting you can try.

I dl'd this and still can't get my TP to connect using Internet Sharing. It sync's just fine, but when I try to connect, it makes a noise on the laptop that like when the cable disconnects, then makes another alert like it failed to connect.
Hey guys long time no see. im usually in the Android Kiaser section, but I got a different question for today. A good friend of mines recently got a old computer. It had a lot of viruses on it and I cleaned them out. Once I was done with that, I had her o/s up and it was running a lot faster than before.
Anyway, she wanted to use her Optimus T as a modem because she doesnt have internet connection or DSL in her house. She is a genius and all, so she picks up stuff very fast . especially in IT and computers .
Well she followed the tethering instructions for XP and downloaded it to her phone. She then hooked it up to her computer and when we searched for the file, it was there but it could not be launched.
Now I advised eher to come here and ask you guys for help, but she is very prideful and wants to figure it out on her own. Now if this were a simple hardwre issue no problem . but since this is a networking issue , and well you guys are far more experienced in these matters, I was wondering if theren were a special program she needed or something like that for her computer to properly launch the program needed for her phone to go online
Well I used to be in the same boat With the internet. Although It wasn't a smartphone. The solution i came up with after days of trying was the phone in question needed an initialization command pointing to the apn of the phone. This was accomplished with no special software just windows built in capability, on a standard sp 2 machine. I would try my optimus but i have win 7 x64. Anyway not sure whether it helps or not but the proper initialization command would be something like AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”epc.tmobile.com” the number to dial should be " *99# "
The post below me is also good. It is usb network instead of modem.

You basically have two options to go about doing this. Switch on Data on your phone ..
1. Connect the phone via the USB cable and select the LG PC suite application, under Tools there is a option of Internet connection using Phone.
OR
2. Connect the phone via the USB cable, do not run the LG suite, instead on the phone in Settings -> Wifi & networks Use the portability and tethering option. The first option is USB tethering, the second is Wifi. Just select the USB one. THis will create a local network between the phone and computer and allow you to access the internet ...
Cheers !

Trying to USB tether on vista 32bit

Hello,
I used Barnacle Wifi tethering with my pc sucessfully before.
Now, after reformatting the computer, (the wireless adapter is obviously working as I'm using it right now), it tries to connect to the barnacle network but takes forever (basically it doesn't connect).
Tethering is crucial for me and any help is appreciative. Nothing has changed on my phone since it last worked with my pc. The only difference is that my pc has reinstalled windows 7 and has working wifi drivers.
how can I fix this?
Thanks so much!
Try flashing a froyo rom. Comes with wireless tethering installed.called. Mobile AP. Works great. I'm using Axura Voodoo Rom and getting 5.21mg download speeds. Also has USB tethering installed too.

Thanks for the reply, but I was wondering more of what was wrong on the pc side.
Is there some driver I'm missing?
I was able to use EasyTether via USB to tether but it was so much slower (other things being constact) than my Barnacle Wifi tethering.
Why can't I connect to barnacle?
Do I need kies installed?
BUMP. This is still a major issue for me.
I installed Bionix's latest rom and it still doesnt work.
Froyo USB tethering doesn't work (drivers installed sucessfully on my windows 7 pc)
Barnacle Wifi doesn't work (it takes forever while "connecting" and never ends up connecting to the phone)
Any help is greatly appreciated!

With the Bionix 1.3 I can verify that wifi tether does work I use it everyday. Are you seeing your phone listed as an AP when seraching for wireless connections?

For Barnacale Wifi I am assuming you are talking about:
What is AP?
I see it listed as a wireless internet connection (in windows 7, its a icon of 3 computers) and I click to connect.
It tries and tries but never connects to it for some reason.
However, before my PC reformat, it connected to barnacle wifi just fine.
I can confirm that there are no problems with my wifi on my pc.
And I really appreciate you getting back to me.
I can't connect the Atrix to the Moto Phone Portal using the USB. Just curious if there is a fix to this? Once the browser is launched (it doesn't matter which browser, IE, Firefox, Chrome) it doesn't connect. USB connection is set to 'Motorola Phone Portal' and Moto Phone Portal app says its 'running on on USB..."
Not sure what is going on- connects fine using Wi-Fi... just annoying that it won't connect with USB. Any help is appreciated?
Thanks,
M
are you on a mac? I think it requires the MotoHelper app on a pc - part of the PC drivers.
I had the same issue but I also couldn't connect via wifi. So... I turned off the debug under applications and then it worked fine. But haven't had time to try it with the usb but it may help.
I am on a PC and have the MotoHelper installed, but it still didn't work. Also I didn't see a debug under applications, haven't done any modifications to my phone (not sure if you need to modify to debug or not, but I couldn't find it).
Maybe its a driver issue with my dell...

Not a Dell issue. I have Dell running Win7 64bit and it works fine. Try to manually reinstall Motohelper. Also, under you Windows Start button you should have:
START>ALL PROGRAMS>MOTOROLA>Motorola Drivers>Motorola Driver Reinstaller.exe.
Run this CLEAN and REINSTALL and Selct START - see my attached. This will reinstall everything associated with the drivers and Motohelper. Reboot Phone and PC and then replug phone into PC and select USB with Motorola Portal.
Same Problem
I've tried all these things and mine keeps switching back to USb Mass Storage. If I switch it back to Motorola Phone Portal, it will give me the address for my browser and it will actually pull up the Portal on my computer but then the phone will switch back to USB storage and I can't go any further on the computer. I've rebooted the computer and the phone and nothing helps. Any help
I tried all those things as well, but still no luck. However, my phone stays on Moto Phone Portal as USB connection, but just won't connect/load the phone portal in the browser(s) when using the USB cable.

You should uninstall the Motorola Media Sync from the PC. I kinda like the software, but it does it's own thing to much with out giving me control. I have spoken to Motorola 2nd level support, but the were no help. They told me to ignore it or uninstall it. I uninstalled it. I left the Motorola drivers installed. If you reinstall the drivers it'll ask you to reinstall the Media Sync - say NO.
Once the Media Sync is gone, then the Portal will not auto load and you can have control of the USB settings from the taskbar.
I had a similar issues
....First, Moto Phone portal does not work on Chrome (insert IP address into IE or Firefox)
If you still have problems...
On phone, from home screen
select Apps drawer
select Phone Portal
select menu
select Settings
select Secure login
uncheck Enable login
did anyone come up with a fix for this? i have tried everything in this thread with no success.
USB Cable
I had this problem as well, just happened to have a few extra Micro USB Cables around. I found that the phone will work with some Cables and have problems with others. If you can try a different USB cable give it a shot.
It works just fine with Chrome.
The USB cable that came with my phone does not work.
So judging by the quick search, many people have this problem on many different phones, and no solution was found.
I know I've had this problem with my old SGS 1, and even Nexus One.
Same problem on my SGS II, tethering to many different desktops and laptops.
So it seems to be android-specific, or Windows specific problem, really.
Basically, when you tether with USB, first several minutes all is well and speed is good, but in about 5-10 minutes, traffic from the phone just stops.
Phone still shows tethering ON, PC still thinks it's connected, but nothing loads, it doesn't disconnect, it just drops to speed or 0 kbps.
The only way to restore it is to disable tether and reconnect.
Anybody has any idea why would this occur and how to prevent it?
Does it say no internet connection on the network indicator on the bottom right of the notification center? My guess is your carrier has an issue with tethering. I see your on AT&T. Do they have a plan that is specifically for tethering?

No internet connectivity loss is indicated in windows, it still thinks it has a good internet connection. I'm assuming that after a while, it will detect that although there's a connection, there's no actual traffic flowing through it, and will say that there's an issue... but for a long time, it's simply as if I'm connected, but actual speed is at 0kbps.
Browser tries to load pages and times out in 10-30 seconds.
Unfortunately (or fortunately) this definitely doesn't have anything to do with AT&T. I have unlimited grandfathered plan with AT&T and a custom rom, AT&T has no idea that I'm tethering. Internet on the phone is still working fine.
I kinda feels as if the usb tether drivers in windows (RDIS or whatever it's called) simply gives up after a while. Or maybe it's the android tether process that "forgets" what it's supposed to be doing.
you are running a stock ROM right?

Nope, latest CheckROM.
But as I've said, I had same problem with Captivate and other ROMs on SGS2 =(
i haven't found a custom rom where tethering fully works....thats why i went back to stock
Have the same problem on BOTH my Huawei ideos U8150 and my HTC sensation.
My wirelessly tethered devices still work flawlessly but my USB tethered desktop disconnects after a few minutes. Screen time out set to Max in case something in the phone went to sleep but no difference. Definitely not a network problem as my operator confirmed but an android (or windows problem) .
I even set USB Port power settings to always stay awake.
Hope we can find a solution to this.

Have tried different ROM's around 5, 3 were custom ROM's.
Looks like Android OS issue.

I had this problem on both my Samsung Charge(Stock app 2.3.6), and my Motorola Razr(Stock app 4.0.4). I believe it is a driver issue inside windows. It seems less of a problem on the Motorola phone as I get a few hours of USB tether before it exhibits the same problem whereas the charge started after a couple of minutes. ie. Phone has data and can access web, computer thinks its connected to the web and okay, but any attempts to connect to the internet from the pc fails.
The wireless tether works fine and does not exhibit the same issues so I would suggest you use wifi tether. I don't know if wifi tether uses more or less power than usb tether (assuming your phone is connected to computer and charging). If I get some more free time in the next few weeks I might try and do an analysis.

I've had this problems with pretty much every Samsung phone I had.
I have HTC One X now, and it doesn't have this problem. So something with Samsung drivers, I think.
Cool fact - HTC even has a one-click reverse tethering. So cool.
I have the same problem, but can't find out, where (windows or android) is it.
What I have:
Motorola Atrix (rooted with SuperOneClick, stock ROM)
PC with Windows XP x64 without WIFI
The only RNDIS drivers I could find was HTC RNDIS (for XPx64)
Situation:
I'm living in hostel for one month, and there is only WIFI internet here, so I tried to get my phone WIFI to tether into USB
What have I done:
Connected to WIFI over phone.
Turned USB tethering ON.
By default WIFI is not tethered to USB, so I found that turning USB tethering ON creates usb1 network and WIFI is eth0. Then I configured NAT by iptables on my phone to accept and forward connection from PC (usb1) to WIFI (eth0). [usb0 on Atrix is for Motorola Portal, didn't try yet to connect to internet throught portal connection, not USB tethering]
The problem in short:
At the begining everything works fine. But when many connection threads are opened (didn't look for that many count) connection stops. As it was already mensioned, PC thinks it is connected, on phone USB tethering is still ON, even more - ifconfig still shows the connection. The only diffrenece is that "ping 192.168.42.129 -t" on PC (192.168.42.129 is usb1 IP on phone) starts showing "Request timed out" messages. On the other side - from my phone, I cannot ping my PC either. So connection is like broken, no traffic can be passed, but both sides sees they are ON.
After turning off USB tethering, PC sees connection is off immediately and the Local Area Connection #23 is gone. After turning on USB tethering everything comes back to the beginning.
Current workaround (for me):
I am using VPS service, so I open dynamic SSH tunnel over putty, and use it as my SOCKS5 proxy. The worst thing is that not all programs can use proxies, and when I use such program it tries to crash my connection.
Sorry for my english, it is foreign language for me, if anything is not understandable or you need more test from me, please ask, I will try to do my best.

Hi,
I had the same problem with my Android Phone - P999 running Cyanogenmod 7.2
I had to go into usb debugging screen to adjust the Display power Settings to - Always ON when Charging - Option.
There is probably some power setting in your device that allows you to do that as well.
Basically Power Saving (Screen Off) Powers OFF the Tether.
Ensuring the Screen is ON while Charging (it charges while plugged into a usb port) ensures the Tether stays ON ALL the TIME!
Hope this helps you.
Took me quite awhile of messing around to find the right option.
I do have a similar problem but it's not time-dependant.
Phone:
Nexus 4 mako
AOKP JB-MR1 Build 6
franco kernel 3.4.0 build #121
Situation:
I use FolderSync to backup my sdcard to my Windows 7 FTP server. The reason for doing this over USB Tether is that I get speeds at around 14MB/s instead of 1,2MB/s over WiFi.
I noticed that it doesn't really matter how long tether is connected and nothing really happens as long as FolderSync is scanning the folders on the ftp server at low bandwidth. However once a larger file is transferred the connection is almost sure to break and show the symptoms described by the other posters (interface still up, just no packets being received at either end).
So I assume that some driver (either on Android or Windows) chokes on certain packets and then just dies. Anyone got an Idea how to tell which device causes the problem to investigate further?
I also noticed that if I had ADB enabled before starting USB Tether that the tether connection on the android will be disabled once the failure occurs.
I have problem with my realme c2 when i connect it to pc via usb tethering, it connects it running ok. if i make screen on by playing youtube or any video on it run but as soon as screen sleep it disconnect after some time
I'm a bit late to this, but for anyone else still having this problem:
in Developer options of my phone(Redmi note 11) under Networking, there is an option called "Always keep mobile data on". Turning this on should fix the issue
@Denav
This doesn't work for me. I have a Moto G Power 2021 and that option is already checked.

Were you able to figure out the issue? I'm having trouble as well. Mine disconnects after a certain time period and the times seems to be random. I've played around with the dev options and other cables and still having same issue. It seems to happen with mac and windows laptops.
