Hi
How is there a way tu use my computer internet on my Hero throught the USB connection ??
Thanks
I'm sure there is, but wouldn't be easier to use bluetooth or wifi connection for that?
like some el cheapo USB dongle with AP mode... or maybe to buy new modem with wifi... or... don't know. access point?

Do you mean use the Hero "tethered" as a modem for the computer? If so the answer (at least for UK Heros) is yes.
First of all make sure you have HTC Sync on your computer. Then do the following:
1 Make sure your phone’s data connection is turned on.
2. Connect the phone to the computer using the USB cable.
3. Press HOME > MENU, and then tap Settings > Wireless controls.
4. Select the Mobile network sharing check box.
@peterc10, I think the OP means the opposite (ie. tethering the Hero to a computer via USB), but I'm not sure.
Certainly, putting it on your wireless network (or getting one) would be an easier option, and it wouldn't require any cables. As a bonus, you can use your home internet from all round the house with the device.
@schlagg, any reason the wireless suggestion wouldn't work. Personally, I think it would be a lot easier to set up.

I wasn't sure either, hence my first question. I don't know whether you can do it the other way around, and I have wifi at home so don't need to anyway.
I guess we will have to wait for the OP to tell us which they meant.

no particular reason
just being curious
my wifi connection works well ...
but sometimes, i manage to go to some friends who don't have wifi
with my previous winmo, it was possible without any configuration, so just wondering if its the same here
i was actually wondering about the same thing..i dont have a wifi router and i dont think i'll be getting one soon anw since it wont "work" on my house... we have multiple floors and we prefer cables kinda
anw can i access the internet through USB?
No, this is not possible. The USB hardware in the Hero is that of a USB Slave (or USB Device, like a printer or camera.) In order for it to get internet access from this port, it would have to be set up as a USB Host, like your computer is. If you 'adb shell' into your phone and run "ls /dev/" you won't see any USB devices there.
If I'm wrong, I apologize, but I'm 99% sure this is the case.
EDIT: I think the best option would be to get a USB Bluetooth dongle for your computer. You can get one for like $15. Maybe less.

Nope. Quote from manual
"The phone supports the following Bluetooth profiles: Headset, Handsfree, A2DP, and AVRCP."
AFAIK none of those will enable you to use the computer as a modem. The first two are self explanatory. A2DP allows movement of stereo music files. AVRCP stands for "Audio/Video Remote Control Profile" which allows your phone to act as a remote control
As per the heading, I abandoned carrying a USB memory stick years ago, instead I have a 16GB memory card in my phone and carry a 15CM micro USB to USB cable in my pocket, this way I can use my phone as a USB drive when ever I need it, but I have a problem with my SGS 2
1) the drive seems to randomly disconnect itself whether or not it is transferring data
2) the option to ask me what I want to do every time I connect my USB cable is missing, forcing me to go to settings--> wireless and networks---> USB utilities, just to use my phone as a USB drive ....... VERY IRRITATING
does anybody else use this feature, if so what are your findings ?
I have a similar problem, it will disconnect randomly but also when trying to update and some times when trying to transfer files. I do however get the option to view files pop up when I plug it in. I made a post earlier but no one replied, hopefully it can be fixed easily. I wouldn't really know where to start though

Um, there must be something wrong with your phone. I have not done anything special to use my SGS2 as a USB drive. It's litterally plug it in and away you go.
I just plug it into the computer, the phone says something like MTB in progress, Kies connection or whatever.
Then I get the option to view all files and folders in My Computer (windows 7).
No problems whatsoever.

I don't normally use the "MTB in progress" version as the majority of computers I plug it into do not have kies loaded.
I use the standard USB drive option in settings
Bump
Anyone else having this issue

Hi,
i dont have any USB connection issues, loaded my 32Gb SD and the internal Storage full and i do use a lot the Mass Storage funktion, somtetimes the connection lasts for hours, so (Win7 32Bit).
Totally agree, the settings--> wireless and networks---> USB utilities ... tapping is verry annoying. Have to do this many times a day
Maybe someone knows an solution how to set the "Mass Storage" connection as an default?

try multimount off the market.
You need to enable usb debugging (to prevent the keis rubish launching).
then anytime you want mass storage mode, click the multimount widget.
-- Actually just enabling USB debugging seems to set mass storage mode as default.
I have the same problem but I think it's the problem of the USB port on your PC. I plug the phone in another port and everything is ok now. You can try this on another PC or another port and you'll see. Hope this helps

1) Doesn't happen on mine. Have you tried using USB ports on other computers as it could be due to a particular USB port on a particular computer doesn't supply enough current?
2) It's irritating.

So you don't have a usb icon in the notification area? Otherwise, you just have to select it to enable usb storage.

Thanks Mate!
USB Debugging prevents Kies and bring up the Mass Storage directly
One more (very small, but annoying) issue of the SGS2 solved

When I enable debugging mode, I does indeed turn on mass storage mode and it works. However, every time I unplug the phone it reboots. I do press the disconnect USB drive button and I do eject it on my PC. It still crashes. Does anyone else have this problem?

This happened to me today, and the reason was the Android browser application running in background. Using the task manager I killed browser and then I faced no problem thereafter.
So, to sum up I guess an application running in background might be the reason.
Hope this helps somebody...
It's funny you should say that, as I hardly ever get that problem anymore, and I mostly use dolphin hd browser now

If it is connecting in download mode then the cable is perfect. Flash the firmware again to check if it is working or not

This was an issue since i had gingerbread. I upgraded to ics, didmt solve. Jelly bean, nope! I flashed neat rom, still the same.
The only it gets connected is when i turn off both my laptop and phone, connect usb, turn both on. Only then it gets connected to mass storage

Hey guys. I'm sorry if this has already been posted, but I've searched everywhere on the internet and could not find this same problem. No troubleshooting tips helped either.
I own a Lenovo P2 and until recently I could connect to the PC via USB without any problems. Now, my PC doesn't recognize the phone at all. I mean that it doesn't even show up as faulty device or searching for drivers.
With no computer does my phone connect anymore.
The USB cable is not faulty either, nor the PC USB ports and the phone's jack, and the option for MTP is selected. Despite all this it only charges.
Here is the catchy part as the USB configuration setting seems bugged out for me. No matter which option I choose, MTP will show up as selected, yet the phone will only charge.
Hi, when I connect my Poco with USB cable to my computer the installation of the drivers are ok, windows found the device.
But when i open it the Poco's window is completely white and empty: no files, no folders...there is not the SD card...
I would like to transfer flies from pc to phone by USB connection but it seems impossibile!!
The error message is: "the device has stopped responding or has been disconnected"
P.S.
Debus USB activate, windows 7
Did you change USB connection mode from charging to transfer files? You know, after tapping on notification appearing after USB connection?
Another issue (encountered by me), even with correct connection mode, Pocophone device in Windows 10 (maybe in Windows 7 is the same) remains empty if connected thru an additional USB3 hub. Direct connection to one of USB ports in PC case works flawlessly.

Oh kat, I've got it!! :good:
The different thing I have done from this morning is to disable and after enable developer option...now I can see the 2 folders on the PC in the Poco window: SD memory and internal memory!!
Don't know why...but works!!
Thank You so much!! :good:
I got a second hand S22+ with PET country code. I would like to transfer some music files to the S22+.
The phone only show charging but no notification pop-up when connect to PC. (installed Samsung USB driver 1.7.59.0, tried connecting by USB c to c cable from Note10+, USB a to c from Zenfone6)
Factory Reset not help, still only show charging.
When I am thinking whether it is hardware issue, I try to adb connect <phone ip>:5555 , it shows "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. (10061)"
So would carrier locked MTP & ADB?
(p.s. for other behavior) I just try to connect the S22+ to a Switch Lite, S22+ is giving power to Switch Lite and can see USB Settings notification and grey out transfer options (I think it is expected like other phone do)
Do anyone with CSC PET also have no USB MTP transfer and ADB connect?
