Hey everybody. So i had my bootloader unlocked and the phone deleted everything like i had it repaired through sony companion. I work with ethernet and there are no accesible WiFi networks near me so i connect my phone to the internet via USB cable. When i try to open google play it asks for google account,so i choose enter an existing email and it forces my phone to enter a wifi network! Does anyone know how can i bypass it? Thanks (XPERIA P)

Maybe you are going wrong with the connect phone to internet via USB cable as doing that would allow you to connect to internet on your computer using your mobile data services (which is also called USB Tethering) and not the other way round (this means Reverse Tether).
Which is why your phone keeps asking you to connect to a wifi network.
In this case, you can do 2 things.
1) (Preferred Method) just enable your mobiles data service to let it connect to internet then it won't ask for connecting to a wifi network.
2) (Not so Preferred) you can google for a software to let you reverse Tether your computer net connection to your mobile and connect to mobile.

Uhm sorry i didnt make it clear. I am using reverse tethering when i mean via USB cable but again it asks for entering a wifi net!
broadcast your internet connection from your PC using "Connectify-me" as a WiFi connection, just give a try !
because i doubt whether its uses a Ad-Hoc network, been a while since i used it that way.

So the problem is that when I connect my phone to my desktop PC (Win7 x64) via cable and try to tether when connected to WiFi it does NOT work (shows No internet access), BUT when I use mobile network to tether it DOES work.
Again to recap: i want to get internet to work on my desktop pc via usb tethering where source of the internet would be WiFi.
Where is the problem? Or is it not even supposed to work like that?
Using LG P500 rooted with Z4root and with mik_os kernel. The problem has been both before and after rooting/flashing.
you can use the wifi teethher to provide other devices the internet available to your phone via the mobile network only.
if wifi is the source of internet on your phone then the computer will not have internet access through the phone via usb teether.
why is that so? is there any fix or hack for that?
I think that isn't hack for this.

that is because your phone is not a wifi lan card. it can work like a modem and even computer modems dont access internet via wifi.
Is it possible to share PC internet connection on my X10Mini via USB cable, because I don't have WiFi router. I saw something with Netfilter is this about that kind of tethering? Thanks.
why dont you try easytether from the market? you have to use the usb cable for it to work.
Or barnacle wifi tether and use your wifi from your phone.
PS:you are using your phone as a modem right?
You misunderstood me obviously, I want to use Internet connection from PC on my mobile phone because I can't connect to my PC beacuse I don't have WiFi router, so is it possible to share the internet connection from my PC to my mobile phone via USB cable
I myself googled a lot to discover the method you are saying. but its little bit complicated
for example
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538222
and it is called reverse-tethering
My method i use is to have wifi. share the modem or network from the windows pc and connect the phone via wifi and then browse the internet.
other than that, mmmm.... i dont know.
This is to connect Windows 7 pc to your android phone and use the phones wifi connection to use internet on PC. Linux coming, Mac Os users phone Steve.
On your phone sttings under wireless and network look for
Tethering and portable hotspots
1.enable/check usb tethering
2.enable USB debugging,
3.then install this app below
You also need android/phone usb drivers.
connect phone and pc.
Under windows network connections you will see the A. pc wirelless connection see B. Android USB Remote NDIS network ( this is your phones connection )
BRIDGE both these by selecting both A+B and bridging
Once bridge is made right clip > properties > version 4 TCP> properties select obtain ip adress automatically. apply quit you should be able to connect.

does the phone act as WiFi card?? and we get internet on PC.
actually, there's no need for extra app for this.
I've used my ace tethering directly, and work nicely on win7
connect to a hotspot from ace, and then enable usb tether. my pc get net connectivity, without any setting needed, at all
note : i'm in ginger (using blackhawk rom)
I am not able to connect, I can not bridge between mobile phone and my connection ...
The connection I am using on my computer is a portable connection
broadband connection

Hi everybody.
I want to see if its possible to conect my pc to internet trough my optimus black using usb tether... but instead of using my 3G conection, can i use the wifi conection?
See, there's a open network that my llg detects, so i wanna try this..
But. It's even possible?
Thanks. And sorry if i don't write perfect, im not from usa.

Yes, its possible and quite easy
plug your phone into your pc,Go to settings -> Connections -> thethering -> and make a click on "usb thethering".. Now you have to connect your phone to the wifi network and let your pc install the drivers.. then your pc should automaticaly switch to your mobile's internet..
Is it possible to connect directly (without router) laptop and S2 wia wifi? I want to exchange files in that way if possible. There is option 'wifi direct' on the phone but i dont know whats that. Thank you.

Wifi direct ... this is a feature supported by your phone (and some other devices), but if it is not supported by your PC, then it will be difficult to connect both devices directly.
As far as I know, both devices (PC and phone) need to support wifi direct.
Hmm ... your phone can be used as a WLAN hotspot with wifi tethering.
Then you can connect your PC to the phone, but I don't know how to transfer files, as tethering is usually used only to share mobile internet connection.
if you have problem with WiFi Direct try this:
1. turn off you WiFi network on the phone
2. Run Kies Air
3. When it asks you if to use WiFi or WiFi Router choose the latter (name of the network and password you may change in WiFi router settings)
4. Scan available networks on your laptop and connect
5. run web browser on your laptop and enter ip address given by Kies Air
6. allow access to your phone by confirming it on the phone
7. enjoy file exchange between two devices

Try an app called airdroid. It can wirelessly transfer files from your computer to your phone
