I would like to have my Fuze connected to my laptop via the usb cable for charging and activesync, but use my phones wifi for internet.
Problem is anytime I connect the USB cable it drops my phones wifi connection and starts using my laptops internet connection, which is a pain while listening to streaming music and disconnecting often to run an errand. Ideally would like to keep activesync going to allow using mymobiler.
Thanks for any help.

> "start -> settings -> usb to pc -> uncheck advanced network functionality"
I recalled that option on my Hermes, but it appears different on the TP. I don't have the "advanced network functionality option. Attached are the options I see under Start->Settings->Connections->USB to PC. Only get options for ActiveSync and Disk Drive modes. Disk Drive mode disables activesync and hence MyMobiler.
I did a pretty extensive search using the the forum search option as well as site specific google with terms/combo's like usb, activesync, wifi, enable, internet connection, sharing,... but didn't find anything related to allowing phone wifi use while connected to a PC which is connected to the internet.

I have a Topaz and I experiened a similar problem - Internet Connection Sharing comes on automatically everytime I plug a USB cable between it and my computer, but I didn't activate it - the mode was supposed to be "Disk Drive Mode" on settings\connections\USB to PC, but there was no option to disable it either.
I had just found the solution -
1. with USB cable disconnected, select "Ask me first" on the USB to PC setup, click OK.
2. Connect USB cable to PC. The 3 choices come up from a HTC setup screen:
o Activesync
o Disk Drive
* Internet Connection Sharing
o Don't ask me again
DONE
QUICKLY click "Disk Drive" radio button AND check "Don't ask me again" AND click Done below it BEFORE internet connection sharing comes up. It will now stay in disk drive mode.
See if it works?

can anyone tell me if this is possible or if it has already been done.

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it. Latency is too high. But, you may be in a better data service than I am, so:
Steps to use phone as internet connection for Xbox360 & Mac
First of all, this requires the use of a computer or laptop with an ethernet port.
1. Connect your phone to your computer with internet sharing
2. Open "Network Connections" on your phone
3. Click on your Phone's internet connection
4. Ctrl+Click on your Ethernet port
5. Right-click on either one you have selected
6. Choose "Bridge"
7. Connect your Xbox360 (or Mac) to your computer/laptop via an ethernet cable.
Viola! It works!...at least it did for me.
Hi
I am trying to use my orbit 2 on O2 as a modem.
Bluetooth works! but it does not work when i plug my usb in.
i have active sync running and when i connect on internet sharing and plug usb in it disconnects from active sync
any ideas
cheers

Its supposed to disconnect activesync, then re-connect as a ~network card, it will need to install some drivers first time round.
check in the network connections and see if its added a new network using a "Remote NDIS based Internet sharing device" if it has it should be working fine.
If not check the device manager as see if its installed the drivers properly.
so i just got the new 1005ha asus netbook today and spent the day setting it up as well as the bluetooth to the fuze. i got it to work with my stereo headset as well as to use data over bluetooth for internet
but i cant seem to make it sync up through activesync for file sharing
any help?
ive had the computer setup a port and told the phone to search in activesync and it doesnt find the com port just the same services each time
OK, sorry if you already did all this, its not 100% clear from your posts:
Create a new incoming port on the PC in bluetooth properties. (exactly where this is may vary - on my win xp its called "bluetooth devices" in control panel)
open active sync (on the pc). File / connection settings. check "allow connections to one of the following" <select the com port you just created>
make sure the pc is discoverable & phone bt is on
on the phone - open bluetooth settings and add a new device
select pc, pair, save etc
hopefully now the phone will see the pc, and activesync will now be available as a service
select sevice, save etc.
launch activesync on phone, and select "connect via bluetooth"
remember to disconnect when you're done! - it wont close the bt connection just because its finished its sync
Hi,
When connecting a USB cable to my phone I used to get an option to select activesync or internet sharing, I accidentally selected internet sharing and now everytime I connect a cable it jumps straight to that and I can no longer sync my phone. I know there is an option in USB to PC but I don't have USB to PC under my connection settings, I have searched all over my phone and cannot find anything! Any help will be greatfully recieved.

..try to disable "Advanced Network" features
I've always had issues connecting to vehicles with my Sony Z5 via USB.
I connect the cable I get the prompt and I select Transfer Files. MTP.
The phone will kick into MTP for less then a sec but as the vehicle is trying to establish the connection the Phone will kick back to Charge Only and the prompt comes up to select the USB connected mode again.
If the Phone is trying to use a APP with that connection to the vehicle that app will crash since the connection is no longer established.
I have tried different combinations of settings in the Developers Options like Select USB Config. USB debug on and off. And nothing seams to work.
Is anyone out there having any success using the USB in their vehicle to connect to their stereo and not just for charging.
Also I did check with the Vehicle and it does communicate over MTP. I was able to get this to with with a old Samsung Galaxy S4 with my Jaguar F-Pace.
