I have rooted 2.3.5 S2. I also have router and a laptop that doesnt have wifi adapter. Now im wondering if its possible to use s2 as a wifi adapter? I would connect s2 with usb cable to laptop and then tether internet from the router trough s2 and usb cable to computer. Is is possible? What software do I need?
Possible without software
settings\wireless and network\tethering and portable hotspot\usb tethering
that 's it!
Thanks it worked on Windows 7. But I also have Windows XP and it doesnt work there. I assume I need to install driver? Which one? Kies? Is possible to install only driver and not kies because I dont want to have that piece of sh*t on pc?
Bump! Anyone?
Just install kies thats it!

I don't understand you. The only way to share Internet connection is via usb, bluetooth or wifi tethering.

USB tethering can be done without that app also.

yes,i know all of those features and i've already successfully do them.
but this isn't my issue,my problem is that i want to run internet on pc using mobile as a source.
i want to see a modem installed on my pc device manager so i can control of detailed information to connect to access point from my computer.
In other words,
i want to access internet over usb cable by using phone as 3g modem when removing (Data Enabled) option , because it's assumed that two connection establised one on phone and the other one on pc.
This feature has been found in all nokia phones and samsung mobiles
i do that in acer liquid e special ferrari edition with froyo android 2.2 ...thanks in advance

Then use the USB tethering option, as this uses the mobile 3G internet to access the WHOLE internet. Make sure all other connections are turned off on your PC.
I mean that when i removed the sign from Data Enabled, Internet connected and establish on my laptop (surfing,browsing and downloading is ok) from Acer Liquid E Special Ferrari Edition with Froyo Android v2.2...Why???
because mobile is being used to be a 3g modem or as a internet source not for sharing internet.
also i did this on nokia c7 and samsung monte but not android it was symbian and java.
So I hope you understand me now and helping me very soon.

It is the same.
Computer uses the mobile(via USB cable) to connect to 3G Internet. Mobile internet is used. You need to enable the data in Android to use the internet.
i found this article
until they provide modem driver for android phone, especially sony xperia, then they will be impossible to make your phone as a modem and bridging the connection (eg: dial from your pc using *99#). right now the only option is to share your already connected internet by your phone with a pc, which means phone act as a router.
does it means that i can't use my mobile as a dongle modem???

Probably due to a driver issue. You are trying to tether right? Have you installed Kies or the Samsung USB drivers?
yes

its a driver issue. best thing to do is to change your pc oparating system into windows xp or higher.

Simply connect your phone to PC (make sure mobile data is turned on), go to "Settings - Wireless & Networks - More Settings - Tethering and portable Hotspot - USBTethering" and tick it. That should be enough.
If you still can't get it to work, do what @raine0324 suggested. Win 95 is pretty obsolete mate.
hi everyone,
this is my first post on xda so go easy on me
Im using a Galaxy S3 running Cyanogentmod 10.1. here is my question:
I would like to connect my PC to the internet using a USB cable connected to my phone. now here is the important part, I want the to use the wifi connection on my phone and NOT THE DATA PLAN . here's what i'm doing:
1. connect phone to PC via USB cable.
2. enable usb tether.
Windows installed the drivers for it, connection is established and i get an ip address from the phone but cant access the internet.
What am i doing wrong?
Hi,
I have TAB264 Yarvik. Only thing I need is to connect it to the RasPI and make USB tether. I test it on Arch Linux on my notebook. I can plug my phone with usb tethering allowed and than I am able to connect to the internet.
However, there is no such option on my TAB264. There is original ROM (4.2.2). I have installed some USB tether apps but nothing worked.
Do I need root or even new ROM? Or is it hardware dependent?
Thank you.
P.S. I can see the tablet in ADB if it helps.
