Get pc internet through usb cable possible? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i just bought an SGSIII and i was trying to get internet on it from my computer, as i do on my htc one x (through usb cable) but i am not finding that option anywhere.. is it even possible on this phone? is it is, how can i do it?
thanks a lot!

yup via thethering.
Just goto Setting > wireless and networks > More settings > Tethering and portable hotspot > USB tethering
That should do it for you.

I think he wants to reverse tether by the sound of it, I think there may be an app that allows this, check play store

yes, that's the idea, i have internet on the computer and NOT on the SGSIII. And want to share the computer internet to the SGSIII via usb..

Well kindly I just searched "reverse tether" on play and got a result!

thanks, i found two apps as well but with not so good feedback and it requires a rooted device, which it isn't yet and, also, we could "navigate" but not use playstore.. :S but thanks anyway.. will have to buy a 3g router to acess via wireless..

Why not just root? It's very easy

There's no USB tethering for Ace . You could use hotspot tethering though .

I use Kies. Connect phone, select the tethering option in Kies, choose your service provider, and voila!

Depends on who your provider is. My Ace has tethering when I bought it. Has tethering available with Fla.sh v1.

just tick USB tethering while ace is connected to your PC, and you'll get net on your PC, without even setting anything.
I tethers only because I have no other access to the internet. I use the usb tether, and it works. I even loaded the roms on my ace down
EDIT: Settings>Wireless & network>Tethering and mobile hotspot and her select usb tether. freely translated from German to English

wifi tether app
On your phone in wireless and network settings look for
Tethering and portable hotspots enable/check usb tethering use must also enable USB debugging, then install this app below you will be able to detect your pc/laptop from your phone. And on your pc/laptop will see Android NDIS network.
You will have to put your own settings in example ip address gateway etc.
I have NOT made this to work Yet, but both my phone and laptop can see each other. so it it a setting/config. Some one somewhere did mention it might be MTU settings I cant remember where I saw this but we are going too far now.

Please dont delete it. This helped me learn that SGS2 allows tethering both USB and Wifi.
I used to use my old Nokia 5800 as bluetooth modem. SGS2 tethering allows me to connect to mobile internet byPC over WiFi.
Thanks.

Q: Internet passthrough

Is there any mod to include internet passthrough in my LWW?
Do you mean "reverse tethering"?
This is easily possible, look for that with these words.

No, what he/she is asking is if it is possible to use a computers cable/lan internet (because they dont have wifi or whatever) to connect the phone to the net. Yes, depending. If your rom/kernel (not sure which, or i guess both depending on lock or unlocked BL) has support for ad-hoc networking then you can, if not, then no. Just search for a way to create an ad-hoc network using your PC. Connectify is a good program to use.
Hi
Try this (in attachment) on your PC: unzip and run AndroidTool.exe; on the phone you'll be prompted to install an usb tunnel app.
Don't remember where I found it, most probably here on XDA, give a look searching.
Bye.

[Q] Sharing computer internet connection with phone...

Hey guys, I need to pick your collective brains. I had an HTC a while back and when I connected it to my computer it gave me an option to "share computer internet connection with phone" and I'm needing this in my life at the moment... Essentially I am unable to connect to the WiFi network nearby with my phone but apparently my laptop's Wi-Fi radio is bigger (and stronger) and able to establish a connection. I know it's archaic but I'd like to share that connection with my cell phone. Is anyone aware of an app that can do this or a way to work this out? I also have a tablet I'd like to do this with as well. Any and all help/advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

You can create a pc to pc wireless connection. But you need 2 wireless connections on your computer ,i do this all the time at work where you cant get wifi only wired. Basic it will just set your pc as a access point . check out winodws share internet connection

It depends on what items you have... Do you have a router?? If so, do the following:
Open Network Connections by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Network and Internet, clicking Network and Sharing Center, and then clicking Manage network connections.
Right-click the connection that you want to share, and then click Properties. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Click the Sharing tab, and then select the Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s Internet connection check box.
Once this is done, hook up your wireless router to your PC, and go ahead and set it up. Choose an SSID that is unique and not a cloned name of the connection you just shared. Once this is done, connect all your wireless devices to the newly set up router. The PC will read these connections, and port them through your WiFi that you are connected to.
