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.

Connect phone to pc, go to settings>wireless and networks>tethering and portable hotspot and check 'usb tethering'. You can now access the internet.

Hello ,im from mumbai ,i also faced the same difficulty in accessing internet on pc ,so firstly connect your cell to pc via any method maybe wifi tethering ,usb tethering or a bluetooth connection ,when it shows connected ,you now need a software called as proxifier(search on google) ,then download it create a new profile and create an https proxy with address 10.0.0.10 and port address as 9401 and username should be any loop valid mobile number ,and then check the internet via any browser.
Hope this helps you.
If you find any difficulties ,feel free to pm me.

You could do it connecting the phone to the wifi, but if you want to connect the phone via USB and connect to the ethernet it's not possibile...

My bad, never heard about it... Anyway it seems to be very difficult to do and the guy reports some errors while doing it on windows...
This is the only way.... else no luck..
Go get your self a USB wifi router that's easy. Or any wifi router. Don't you have a old bsnl wifi router. Or ask the cabel net wala to give wifi router.

I downloaded ES File Explorer and it works great. However when Im away from my Wifi I would still like to connect to my home network using 4g if need be. I do not want to use Dropbox, All share but would like to somehow use ES File Explorer with the FTP option. Are there any recommendations you guys have or any apps?
Try smart ftp I'm sure it's still free or better yet what version of windows are you running u could just enable iis

That's what vpn is for.
Many routers support Vpn Server capabilities out of the box. And even if yours does not, there is a high chance DD-Wrt can run on it.
Alternativerly you'd need to keep your computer running with a vpn-server on it.

My router doesn't support it, but I can get DD-WRT on it. However I will be getting better router soon (Asus RT-n66u) which should have it on there. Thanks for the help guys.
Also is there a app you can get to control your PS3 from your phone using bluetooth?
Hey all, I have been looking everywhere for an app or method to remotely transfer files to AND from my android device from my pc, without the restriction of having to be on my local network wifi. I'm beginning to think there may not be one available, although I can't see why not.
Any Ideas?
If all you need is file transfering, try an FTP server.

Dropbox?
Pocketcloud, or teamviewer used with dropbox can accomplish this. Remote access your pc, copy file to dropbox, and download to sd card. A little tedious, but works for me.

Those all sound like they need WiFi, sounds like he's look to use Bluetooth? I mean you got to use something.
Agreed that dropbox or similar cloud storage may be your best bet. Just set up the desktop client to sync to a folder on your computer, and to go back to your phone, you can use a program like Dropsync, which offers two way syncing between phone and dropbox.

I wish somebody could get sshdroid or quicksshd to work over 3G or 4G, but I don't know enough about VZs network. If that works for somebody, then let me know.
One could use Tasker to maintain a VPN connection. I use VPNRoot.
Team viewer now can control droid remotely.
A phone as a PPTP server would be ultimate.

I remember on my lg g pro I could use the remote application without internet connection but for some reason Samsung won't let you use the remote without connecting to the internet for a cable show schedule update. What if we don't have internet , why would they limit the use of the ir remote... Anyone have a solution to using the remote when you have no connection ?
Who is your cable provider?

I dont have wifi and it works fine. I Posted a screen shot. Is this what your talking about. It's just asking to use your phone data to use the remote. Press OK and follow the setup.
