I'm pretty sure you can only do one at a time, either USB tether or wifi tether, at least with the built in tethering. There may be apps like PDAnet that let you do both but I doubt it.
I could do that with my sola and ideosx5,why not with this?
Ok,i installed pdanet and it works just fine,a bit slow,but fine,cant understand why motorola would leave something like that,out..

This definitely works on MIUI, I just tried it. MIUI doesn't disable wifi when USB tethering is active. I disabled my 3G data, enabled wifi + usb tethering and I had internet access on my computer - whatismyip.com showed that I was on my phone's wifi connection and not 3G.
So if you have a GSM phone, you could give it a try.

This may be a dumb question but is there a way to enhance my tethering? Sometimes it wont connect at all and sometimes it craps out on me? Any help would be appreciated.

What part won't connect? the data connection? the phone to computer connection? If you are trying to tether over wifi you could try tethering over usb, my guess is it might be a little more reliable.
You could also try downloading PDAnet, it has always worked well for me.
If it is the data connection it is probably your network. I know I sometimes struggle at keeping connected on AT&T.
Its just sometimes connecting to the laptop it craps out.

Streakdroid tethering
I'm having similar issues... I'm a minimalist, so that means I would rather most things be done with the least amount of software.
I'm running StreakDroid 1.9 but the native Android app won't tether, USB or WiFi, so when it is necessary I use PDANet, and it works fine...
Another issue, maybe related, is when I drop out of wifi coverage, I have to restart the phone for the 3G connection to kick in and allow me internet again, it won't connect on its own like it should....
Any suggestions would be appreciated...
HI,
I'm trying to share my wifi connection on the P500 to a laptop via usb so I can access internet on the laptop through the P500.
Is this possible?It works with the data connection but I need also with wifi.
Best regards.
Can't u spend 20$ and get a wifi dongle ..
That's called USB tethering and it as easy as selecting the USB tethering option from settings. And it should work with wifi also. (I haven't tried it.)

Hi,
I am trying to share my WIFI connection over USB to my PC with the built-in tethering function but it is not working...
Sounds weird because if I disable my wifi on my Atrix, my phone share my 3g connection to my PC with usb tethering without any issue but once I enable my wifi and connect to my AP, I am no longer able to share anything...
When my phone is connected to wifi and USB tethering enabled, the only thing I can ping is my localhost (lol) and my gateway wich is my cell phone.
Anyone has an idea why? And if possible to have a workaround without having to install anything on my PC?
Thanks

Does it NEED to be usb tether? You can just download "barnacle" on your phone and make it a wifi hot spot for free.

Yes... It need to be USB. I try to share a wifi connection to my work PC that doesn't have wifi card.
I rooted my MoPho, but can't seem to get my PC to connect to the internet via the phone's wifi signal. I bought a Belkin N150 wireless USB adapter. I can get the computer to pick up the MpPho's signal and connect via Wireless Tether or Quick wifi hotspot lite, but the computer says no internet connection, even though the signal strength is excellent. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
read around the general forum and the faq forum also. you might get some ideas from them. as far as i go i use wifi tether 3.1 beta 8 and it works fine.

I still cant get my PC to feed off the MpPho's wifi hotspot despite it connecting and having an "ecellent" connection. Any thoughts? Much thanks.
install Data Enabler from market, Quick Wifi HotSpot Lite
step by step
1. disable 3G by Data Enabler.
2. open Quick Wifi HotSpot Lite and start tethering.
3. enable 4G
works 100%
Hello everyone,
So I'm using USB tethering and the connection would drop a lot, maybe every 10 minutes. I used to own a Samsung Vibrant and I had the same problem with USB tethering back then as well and I was wondering if anybody else has had this problem. If anybody could offer a solution that would be great. I cannot use mobile hotspot because my desktop does not have a wifi adapter and I would prefer to use USB tethering if possible.
I'm using CapRomAlpha.
I tried using PdaNet but it keeps telling me that I have to start USB Tether Mode on the phone which of course I had... (it does tell me that my phone is connected)
On another note, my USB debugging icon is not appearing at the top even though it is enabled.
Matbe its the rom... Ive never had problems with it
