hi all,
i have a optimus one, am from india, vodafone connection. I want to use optimus one as modem for my pc, i called up vodafone customer care people and they told me the settings for LGE usb modem. Even after try many times, i am still not able to connect to internet. Its giving "unable to connect to remote host".
I told this issue to vodafone customer care team, but they were saying that there is some issue with using android mobiles as modem for pc.
has anyone here successfully connected internet to PC using android device?
And you want use it for PC or notebook ??

Cheers!

are you able to browse on mobile? how are you connecting to PC? i believe you might have read about teethering step above. use the USB option for PC or wifi option for Laptops. it should work out without issues normally.

I want to sharing Defy's wifi for PC via usb connection.
I tried to setup. Refer to this page: http://www.android.com/tether#usb
But at the fourth step, why I can't find the Tethering & portable hotspot in Wireless & networks.
I'm using the Pays ROM v5.1.
Because Motorola removed it. Install Barnacle from Market =)

Blamed Moto.
Thank for your answer.
Barnacle is not the solution.
I am using the original 2.1 Motorola ROM. In Settings, Wireless & network settings, Mobile networks, I have a check box called Internet Tethering. If I activate then, I can successfully use my phone internet connection on the PC via USB. You need to have the motorola drivers, set the phone USB onto Portal and Tools, and then create a dial up connection using Motorola USB as the modem and dial *99#. I did not need a username or password so I left them blank.

If you mean use your defy to connect to wifi and pass it on to pc via usb... so if a computer didnt have wifi? I dont think you can do that. Correct me if Im wrong...

You use defy as modem in your pc so that your pc can use defy's internet connection via wifi.

Are you sure? I'll try it.
I just want to get a app which is similar as the WMWifiRouter on PPC.
At work, there's no Wi-Fi and no T-Mobile signal.
Is there a way to use my PC's network connection to provide data to my phone? I have a rooted Android phone.
I´m also looking for this.
It is the same thing we can do with ActiveSync in Windows Mobile: you get internet access trough your PC...
I hope someone can help us with any clue.
Thank you.

Like USB tethering? I thought there was a USB tethering app on the market.

Hi both of you!
It's called ad hoc network, if you have Vista or Windows 7, do like this:
Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center -> Set up a new connection or network -> Set up a wireless ad hoc (computer to computer network) -> Follow instructions!
Good luck
You forgot to mention the tiny problem that Android has do damn Ad-Hoc support....
honestly just try starting your own network go grab a wifi dongle thats capable and go from there that or get a wireless router and try that sharing the internet connection to the router OR bluetooth connection if your phone is capable ! many different ways ive tried them all but usb tethering ive never heard of out side of wm os
It is possible...
I wrote about this before. It is possible to do via usb cable if you use Sense as it is a standard feature in Sense connection... Just plug in and you can choose to use PC internet connection.
I have done it a lot with my PC

My custom rom (x10 mini pro) support ad hoc as far as i know.
Connectify
If you are using Windows7, you might want to take a look at Connectify. Just google "connectify for windows". I can't post outside links yet.
Direct from their website:
Take any Internet connection and share it wirelessly with no additional hardware, wires, plugs, or chargers
Easily connect any number of Wi-Fi enabled devices to your network including desktop computers, laptops, phones, gaming systems, and more
Don't break the bank paying for multiple Wi-Fi connections on the road, Connectify is ad-supported and free to download and use.

Adhoc can be made to work

Of course this would need a wifi dongle in your work PC, will admins allow that?
in the newer roms with gingerbread it's an option to do this when you plug in your phone.

hi everyone,
i just want to know can we access mobile's internet in pc by connecting lg optimus black to pc via data cable? for example like we can do it in nokia using nokia pc suite.
thanks,
pratz
is it that no one ever tried to connect any lg mobile to pc and used mobile's connection to access internet on PC?
The term you are looking for is: Tethering. AFAIK the LG Optimus Black can only tether via USB when using a third party app. You could look for ClockworkMod Tether for example.
no, i was not looking for teethring. in teethring you need to use your mobile as wifi hotspot, but i wanted to know whether you can connect using data cable and use internet the way you do in nokia pc suite.
but i got my answer as i sent a mail having the same question to LG and they replied as below
17/02/2012
Thank you for contacting LG Electronics
-----------Reply to Customer Enquiry------------
Dear customer,
Thanks for sharing your concern with us.
IN p970 phone, the internet can only be shared by wifi hotspot feature given in the phone (settings> wireless & netwrok >Tethering & portable hotspot > portable wifi hotspot & also do relevant portable wifi hotspot settings ).
In laptop which have inbuilt wifi option for internet, first connect your phone with the wifi connectivity then share this wifi network with the help of wifi hotspot to the laptop.
For pc pls use USB wifi dongle then share the internet.
thanks
pratz
Well, I still recommend you to look into ClockworkMod Tether or similar.
"ClockworkMod Tether is a USB tether solution for Mac, Windows, and Linux that allows you to use your phone's data connection to get internet access on your desktop or laptop."
USB Tethering means using a "Data Cable"
Dear All,
I am currently using a Windows Vista based laptop with a Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN wireless card in it with updated drivers. Now whenever I try connect using connectify to make a wireless hotspot it does create a hotspot, but on my android handset I can't find any wifi network in range. Pls suggest a way to reverse tether my phone with my pc without the need of rooting the phone. I am currently using a Android v4.0.I am using internet through a USB Data Card.
Thanx All.

your going to have to root it to be able to tether pc to your phone or phone to pc.
use "pda net+" for usb theathring wifi hot spot as wel as bluetooth theathring.
There's another app called FoxFi that claims to handle wifi tether w/out root. But I've never used it ,and i'm not sure if it works to tether in either direction, but worth a quick look .... (can't post a link cuz i'm not >10 posts yet)
Hi guys, I need to connect my phone to my laptop via Bluetooth to share internet but windows can't find the correct driver to install. Its driving me insane!
It connects to the phone as I enter the code windows generates, but it fails to install the driver after that.
I tried USB tethering , its sets up the adaptor and it has an IP etc but NO INTERNET connection.

Wrong thread buddy.
Use wifi hotspot to share internet. Faster and more secure.
