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?

I'm trying to use usb to tether my vibrant. I enabled usb tethering through settings but windows doesn't detect it and says it cannot update the drives. I installed Samsung Kies but it doesn't detect my vibrant either. What to do?

use mobile ap. never really tried usb tethering, mobile ap works just fine. doesn't really answer your question but that works for me.
I guess we're kinda confused... are you wanting to connect (i.e. "mount") your phone to your computer? or are you trying to use your phone to get your computer to connect to the internet (i.e. "tether")? if you want to just tether, you need to enable the mobile ap under Settings>Wireless and Network>Mobile AP> and check the box that says "mobile ap". If you are wanting to mount your phone to your computer, why are you wanting to do it... for odin or just to copy files?
I want to use usb tether to use the internet on my computer because it doesn't have wifi. I tried to plug in play but it doesn't detect anything.

Works fine for me.

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!

Just wondering, why don't you use WIFI tethering feature.
Just put the phone in wifi tethering mode and use the phone as a wifi hotspot. It's much easier.
HOW TO?
My pc has no wifi system.....
please tell me your suggestion in details about wifi tethering.....
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.
I have a Galaxy S2 phone for phone calls and SMS only, no internet connection.
I want to use my PC to ...
send receive SMS via the phone
access files on the phone
download images/photos from the phone
I have used KIES for the past 2 years but it is very unstable and a clean install has not helped
- USB cable connection from phone to PC fails, phone does not list in PC WinExplorer
Q1: is a USB cable-only connection possible to satisfy my needs ?
if not ...
Q2: if a WiFi connection is the only possibility, how would I do that ?
Q3: and what app would I use, would Airdroid be appropriate?
Thank you in advance
