Hi
I just got a LG G2 Mini.
And I would like to connect it to Internet through my cabled internet on my laptop
I did this with my daugther's Iphone, using an ad hoc network on my laptop connecting the Iphone with reverse tethering
I have tried this with my new phone, without managing
I also tried connecting to my laptop using an usb cable, without getting connected
Do I have to root the phone to do this?
Odin
I think that what you want to do is called "reverse tethering".
Just Google it.
EDIT: I just noticed the title, lol
Happy new year to everyone on the forums!

I am wondering if I can connect my Laptop wirelessly to my Eris Droid's wi-fi signal.
I have already figured out how to tether, via the USB cable, but can I connect wirelessly too?
as far as i know there are a lot of free wifi tethering apps , but you need root access. I'm fairly certain PDAnet will do bluetooth tethering... but that's the 30 dollar paid version.
root root root!!! best solution when I get my new phone ill make a root tutorial for YouTube

Is there a way to tether the Thunderbolt with the MBR1200 or any type of Cradlepoint router? I saw on Cradlepoint's forums the Incredible and Blackberries were not officially supported but would work and that almost all Android devices should work as well.
Why not root and use a wireless tether app? That way you don't need a router
I am rooted and have the wireless tether app. I was hoping to be able to use my TB to connect my xbox to live without having to use internet connection sharing on my pc.
Another option would be to get a WiFi antenna for your xbox.

Trying to hook up to evo here as well.
I know it's ndis device just like the mogul and ps2 were. I don't know why they are able to but the evo and the sister models aren't working on it. Specially since evo has been out a year. if they need a ata diagnostic to see the activation lines I'd be more then willling to do one and copy the info to them.
HTC Thunderbolt w/ Cradlepoint MBR1200
I own a Cradlepoint MBR 1200 and was thinking about purchasing an HTC Thunderbolt to connect to this router so I could have unlimited 4G data. Is it possible to do this. I have not been able to get a clear answer.
I don't have 4G, but I will try to hook my T-bolt up to my MBR1000 later today and let you know what happens.
Subscribed. I have one of these at work that I have been working with. When connected to USB it cannot obtain an connection. It's like you need to edit modem settings or something. Of course if you back fed it into a PC in the WAN port you might be able to set up an outgoing connection.

I used Internet connection sharing on a pc and plugged the Ethernet cable into the wan port and it worked that way. I also bought a cheap wireless bridge and connected my Thunderbolt to it using the rooted wireless tether app so that I wouldn't have to have a computer always on to use the Thunderbolt's connection. It does seem that the problem with connecting it does have to do with the MBR not recognizing it but the MBR doesn't seem to recognize it is even plugged in, I read on Cradlepoint's site how to connect a Incredible to the router, but the Thunderbolt does not have the same connection choice as the Incredible does. If someone could figure out the difference between the connection types it doesn't seem like it would be that hard to make a app for this http://blog.cradlepoint.com/an-android-powered-cradlepoint-router.
I used the built-in wired tethering and it didn't work...yet...
When i get some more free time I'll try something like Easy Tether.
I'll see if I can find anything about modem settings as well...
i really hope the title made since but if it didnt hear is what im wondering is possible to do in any way with any app. i know how to use my G2 as a wifi and usb hotspot via tmobiles blazing fast 2meg service here in louisiana but what i actually would like to be able to do is have my home charter internet from my wifi router to my G2 and from the G2 to my new desktop via usb cable (doesnt have wifi and im out of usb wifi adapters). So basically .....Netgear wifi router>HTC G2>Usb cable>Desktop. Is this even a remote possibilty or am i stuck using the 2meg (5gig limit) tmobile connection? thanks for any help that can be offered, veritasaequita
So you're essentially attempting to utilize the phone as a WiFi adapter, correct? If that is the case, I'm pretty sure you can connect to WiFi and then connect the phone to your PC in internet tethering mode.
that is exactly what im wanting to do, im gonna try it real quick. i hadnt tried it because as i recalled when wifi connects usb greys out but i could be thinking of wifi tethering doing that. ima give it a quick try and post back. thanks for lending a hand
You're very welcome
I've been searching the forums, but didn't find this exact question. I want to tether my rooted NT to my non-rooted droid 3 phone to provide 3g internet access when I'm not around a wifi connection using a USB cable connecting the two (I have a USB female to male micro USB adapter to connect the nook cable to the phone). I would prefer not to root my phone and not use the mobile hotspot or pay verizon an extra $30/mo, etc. I have used Easy Tether for my phone and laptop previously and it has worked well. I've looked at pdanet and pdanet tablet, but it wants to use bluetooth which has not been enabled on the NT yet. Is there any way to even do this yet until the USB hosting is enabled on the NT?
This is not the answer you are looking for, but I have been using WiFi tethering from my T-Mobile MyTouch 4G (with CM7) for a few days now.
If you could tether via USB and not get in trouble with VZ, I don't see why you couldn't do the same via WiFi. Since you would be tethering to another Android device instead of to a laptop, I wouldn't think that even if VZ is checking the data going through the phone, they would notice anything all that different, since both devices are running Gingerbread.
You'd have to put a WiFi tethering app on the Droid, which may require you to root. My MyTouch 4G came with WiFi Tethering capability from the get-go, so perhaps you can find a non-root WiFi app to let you do it.
wifi tethering works but I dont think USB will because B and N didnt put the drivers for the nook to recognize another android device... or rather any device except a computer through USB. They stripped many things out of this Android OS

I was able to do so but I had to play with the configurations of the phone (not root it) since it was a connection thing and not touching the OS on the phone. I work for the company so I have access on how to do so. However that being said I deactivated which I will explain below.

Carriers can tell the difference on what is using what. This is why AT&T surprised their customers by billing them for tethering usage on their network. It has nothing to do with whether both devices are Gingerbread or not but how the traffic is moving on the network. It simply requires a sniffer. Also, I removed my phone fix when I found out that Verizon is also planning on doing the same thing AT&T has already done; wouldn't be good if they discovered many of their employees are doing this. The two carriers normally follow suit. I'm just surprised that both have taken so long to respond since they are loosing revenue. I think it's a ridiculous charge and customers shouldn't have to pay for the service that was already built in. If the user has a plan then it should be based on their data plan not on how they are using on connecting nodes to it.
If you look in the forums there is a special driver that has been ported over from the Nook Color and rewritten for the tablet. It allows for an Ad-hoc or device to device connection via wifi. That would solve the problem with the Wifi issue. Be careful however because it is an advanced procedure requiring you to be rooted and install root explorer and copy over the new wifi driver... Good Luck!
Hello, I have a HTC Rezound and Verizon is my carrier. I have unlimited data and use PDAnet to tether via cable to my laptop. I got a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7in and have tried to tether it to the phone with PDAnets BT setting. The PDAnet instructions for this say to download Foxfi along with PDAnet tablet. After doing so I was able to use the BT to tether the 2 devices once. After that it appears Verizon was able to detect the tether and I received a message on my phone to dial an 800 number to activate the wifi on my phone. My question is....if I get a micro usb to mini usb adapter can I use my charging cable for the Tab 2 to tether my phone to the tablet and use the usb tether mode to connect the 2 devices? Thanks

I use Bluetooth Auto Tethering from Refluxa on the market. When you sync via bluetooth it will tether. no cable and bluetooth uses little battery, but it slower than wifi with speed.
what about detection?

I can play around and install the app but my question is....will Verizon detect it and block further use? I would root the phone but I'm apprehensive about what I'm reading. The rezound doesn't seem to be as easy to root as other phones and I don't know anyone tech savy enough to trust with the job. Its my only means of communication and I don't need a brick.

I dont think they will notice but maybe some else here would know. You use bluetooth tether on the phone and bluetooth autoconnect on the ipad. I think you need tp be rooted. Rooting a rezound is not as dificult as it sounds. I would not use a paperclip or hard wire. Also on jellybean it does not work, Bluetooth stack is broken.

Being apprehensive about rooting is really a bad excuse. Until you do, you'll just have to deal with VZW's limitations.
You also might consider this: Verizon can no longer charge for tethering
Welcome to XDA btw

That is only for the non-unlimited data folks

Actually it is for everyone. Verizon can themselves still charge for it, but they can't restrict anyone from tethering through an app. If they do so, they are breaking the law, because of the access rules placed on the band they operate LTE on.
While I might be wrong, I suspect if you are using the usb connection instead of the wireless, you will hear nothing from Verizon. They are moslty concerned with you being a hotspot particularly for others.
