Ok I'm trying to figure this out sorry if this has been covered before I did a search and couldn't find the awnser to my problem.
This is my situation. My gf does not want to root her phone, But wants to use her phone while I'm gone to connect to her phones web.
I looked up on google and tried to download kies 1.5.3 because I found a method that allows you to connect via usb. Well i cant find the download at all for kies 1.5.3 So what I need is either to connect via usb or wifi sharing app.
So could anyone that either has the kies downloaded share it please?
Or, could you share the apk for wifi sharing please?
Thanks in advance.
I know there is an app in the market that says you can use it to tether your phone's data connection to a computer or whatever. It is $9.99 though. It does claim to be able to work without root. I have not used it, but wanted to let you know I have seen it. If you try it and it works, let us know, I am curious.
Try it right away and if it does not work, then you can get your refund within 15 minutes.
Thank you, You wouldn't know what the name is would you?
The specific one I am thinking of is called EasyTether. however I just put "tether" into the Market search and it brings up a few, some free some not, that claim to work without root. The easytether app even has a free "lite" version you can try out.
Good luck!
Ok sweet downloading it now. I'll post back to let you guys know how it works.
Thank you very much!
Ok, At the momment I'm using easytether to post this. I must say it works just as stated. Thank you once again I'm going to continue to test it out.
Hey that's awesome. My wife also does not want her phone rooted, so will use this if she needs to tether. Thanks for being the guinea pig!
Cheers
Hey guys Easy tether works great. Thats what I used before I rooted and installed custom roms on my phone months ago.
Edit: you said wifi sharing, Easy Tether is usb tethering which is much better because wifi tethering kills you battery quick.

To WiFi tether without root you're going to need a firmware that has the MobileAP application already installed. That will either require Odin, or root so that's out. Other than that you can easily usb tether without root. Don't even need special software if the system is running XP, Vista, or 7. See link below

The Q&A section is his friend too, which is why he posted here. He was provided assistance, and followed up on the help he was given advising us of the result. This thread topic, for now, has been resolved. No further googling is necessary.
I did find this in a search but, I was unable to connect with kies 2.0. I tried to find kies 1.5.3 but everywhere I looked I had to pay or do a long sign up to obtain it. Samsungs site only offers 2.0 which wouldn't allow my gfs phone to connect. I finally downloaded kies mini 1.0. I was able to connect finally but, the mini version doesn't have any option to tether via usb. She has used it most of the night and it works great. So at this point till she let's me root her phone and install cwm and a custom Rom,
This method is working great. For 9.99 I really can't complain as it works wonderfully for her. Once again thanks guys for all your help.

Edit: Just to make it clear the phone is being used to usb tether internet. The laptop at that time can now produce a wifi signal thus connecting other devices through wifi.

try to whitelist your phone in modems mac filter...it did solve my problem!!!
Thank god, I read these issues many times & my ace's Wi-Fi works fine! I did have Wi-Fi error while turning it on though on stock ROM. But when it got on, it connected to every Wi-Fi.
i also use the gingercruzt n have no probs with wifi..
may be u should check ur wifi settings first, something like authentication, uncheck the use static ip option, etc..
good luck dude..
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
So I was having issues with my phone and decided to start from scratch... I put it back to stock and then rooted it and installed wireless tether. I tried version 3.1 beta 14, 2.0.8 pre1 and 2.0.7 and neither of them worked. I start it up, get it running and when my laptop tried to connect, an error message pops up that says 'Windows was unable to connect.'
My next step was to install a new ROM. I installed MOF 2.3.5.ish from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1648297 - I get the same error as before.
The next step was to try a different tether app. I was able to use EasyTether and it worked using USB which is one step closer, but the wireless still doesn't work. When I try to do wireless, it gives me the message below:
Hotspot/Tethering Error
Unable to connect to data network; turning off Hotspot/Tethering. You may not be subscribed to the Hotspot service; please contact your phone company.
So am I stuck having to use USB to tether or can someone help? Let me know if you need any more info. Thank you.

Try FoxFi. Can't get it via Google Play because of the Sprint block but can download the apk from the website.
To get Wireless Tether for Root to work did you follow the correct procedure for the Photon (such as changing the settings, disabling/enabling data, etc.)?

I'll try FoxFi.
What settings need to be changed?
FoxFi works. Thank you for the suggestion.
I am still curious as to why the other apps don't work though.

Typically for Wireless Tether for Root app need to change device to Samsung Galaxy S & then setup method to Netd(master). Depending on the device you are wanting to connect the channel may need to be changed as well. Also, probably get IP errors so to connect in infrastructure.......kill your data connection...start tethering...restore data connection.
Other apps are easier. According to others Open Garden Wifi tether app works as well. FoxFi for me has been the easiest and connects my tablet without issue.
i think it has to do with the 2.3.5 update.
it used to work for me but no longer does and i believe sprint may have asked motorolla to close the loop hole.

Foxfi is easier to use then wifi tehter... im not sure about performance but very straight forward

I have it, and got it from the market, where I can still get it, but it doesn't run - I get the error mentioned above.
I also recently started getting the OP error. Everything was fine until I flashed 2.3.5.ish. I will try flashing back to stock and see... I think its the 2.3.5.
Hello.
I flashed custom rom on my Desire S - newest CodeFireX. After that I tried to enable usb tethering function, but it gave me no internet connection on PC (network icon was showing that everything is ok, just pages couldn't load.) and also my HTC didn't have internet connection. I tried another rom, IceColdSandwich, and everything was like before. I installed drivers for my HTC one more time, that didn't help, then I was flashing few other roms like CoolDroidEvolution, MIUIzero v9, Revolution - saga, and something I can't remember, and the result was still the same. One time, PC network was fine but phone still wasn't. Meanwhile i tried with tethering apps for both smartphone and PC. Tether app was showing that transfer is ok, upload and download was rising.. And in other app, download value stopped on 97 kb/s. I was searching solution for that problem, but i couldn't find anything like that. What should I do in this case? Any ideas?
Greetings
