Don't know about two, as I've never tried it, but, I know that normally on STOCK and LBC you can make your device a wireless Hot spot where by the a computer can then use the phone (probving you have fast H/or 3g mobile data access) as a wifi access point and access the interweb through it!!
The information I have from HTC states that, for the Desire S, up to 8 devices are supposedly able to connect to your phone via the Portable Hotspot option... never put it to the test, though!

This question has probably been asked a million times but i couldn't find an answer.
On my HTC Hero (android 2.1), there was an option to tether once you plugged the phone into your computer. This could also be used as a wireless receiver for a desktop computer lacking a wireless access card. I was using this as a last resort after losing dozens of Ethernet cables to vermin under the house. Basically the idea was: connect to your homes wireless router on the phone, then plug the phone into the usb slot of your computer and it would share that wifi connection with your computer. Recently I have switched over to the all powerful HTC HD2 and I am realizing there is no way to do this, that I can tell, with the stock phone. Is there something I'm missing?
I have tried using the Internet Sharing option, as well as the CMInternetSharing.cab I downloaded from you guys, and neither seem to bring this ability to the table. Is there an app out there that can solve this problem?
Ussually a Custom rom will fix this most have the Internet share or WiFi router but you need to HARDSPL your phone. also theres a way for you to do it just deleting your or editing your REGISTRY.

Here is the Thread for the roms for your phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=534
and this is the rom I Recomend
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591784

Follow the intructions on how to install it(rom) also onces done click on your Window button>tools>WiFi Router and you can use your phone as a wireless router also if you connected your phone Via usb to your conputer you can connect using internet sharing.
fixed the problem
WMWifiRouter has a wifi to usb mode.
will definitely be buying it after my trial runs out.
Just brought home the G2x and love it. I have been using the HD2 Android. One thing I can't figure out is how to get it to connect to the PC (needs USB driver like HTC Sync) and how to tether (USB, or router). Any help would be appreciated.
I am also curious if people have successfully tethered the stock device.
Does it work without the tethering service on the plan?

I have successfully tethered via wifi, no issues there. No plan needed.
Tethering via USB should be possible (Windows) once you install the LG drivers onto your PC first. I haven't tried it myself.

I was able to connect via WiFi as well. Took me a while, but found the 'LGDriver' here: <link omitted, but if you search for root g2x on Google, link is in the first entry of instructions to root the G2X>
which allows the USB connection, anyway. After installing the USB and a variety of drivers were enabled. So far so good. But when trying to USB tether, the auto install kicked off again and was stuck in a loop. Cancel would take me back to the install screen.
I am running WinXP. Anybody able to USB tether with stock G2X?
Try downloading this:

in combination with Droid Explorer
LGDriver works as far as getting access to the storage. But no luck with the tether. I am also dissapointed in how it handles the 8Gb of onboard vs the SD card I added. I can't easily point applications to use the SD card. Particularly video.
For the tether, when I enable tether in the settings it starts looking for a new driver, and is unable to find it.
hi all i am somewhat new to rooting my phone. i love it makes my phone worth the price i paid for it. however i have a wireless tether which i use for my laptop but i was looking around for a tether that i can get internet access on through the USB. sadly i havnt found anythin gif anyone knows about anything that would be a HUGE help. I have the EVO 4G running on superuser, and using windows 7. I need a USB tether for my desktop computer so i can access the internet on my xbox from my desktopcomputer. so what im basicly looking for help with is an app program or what ever it takes to beable to use a USB (not wireless) and get the internet on my desktop computer which cannot pick up a wifi signal.
thanks all again, I OWE YOU one

Hi
I own a HTC Snap phone, running WM6.5 and without a touch screen, which seems to be a lethal combination (for example, the XDA facebook app will not work on my phone).
When using a windows XP laptop I simply connect the phone via USB and use it as a modem, but I assume this won't work on the Android tablet.
So I'm trying to find a way to share my 3G connection to my Android 3.2 tablet.
The default ICS app is useless - the tablet doesn't see the phone either when sharing through WIFI (I understand Android will not recognize ad-hoc wifi connections) or when using BT.
I tried installing the trial of wmwifirouter with the same results.
I tried the XDA ICS app (I think it was a port of the HTC app) and couldn't get it to run, probably because it was expecting a touch screen input.
Is there any way to solve my dilema without replacing my phone?
Thanks
There used to be an app for WM called wifi hotspot. If you could install it on your phone, the tablet would connect to it via wi-fi.

I'm 90% sure that's the one I tried that didn't work because my phone has a keyboard and no touch, but I'll try it again.
Yep, it's not working on the HTC snap.

What exactly are you trying to do?
Are you trying to tether your computer through your phone (i.e. connect the computer to the phone via USB cable, and then use the phone's WiFi / 3G connection on your computer)?
Or just use the phone as a wifi finder (which seems odd because if your computer has WiFi then it should be able to see the access points on its own..)?
I'll assume you're going for the first one because the second one doesn't make any sense. You should search the forum for "USB tether" .. although since you're asking for iPhone or android, it seems like you don't have a device yet...

I have no WiFi adapter. I want to use an android/iPod as a wifi adapter so I can see possible connections listed on the PC (providided by the ipod or android device)..
I build a WiFi antenna that i want to put the device in, i hook the phone/ipod to the computer, then on the computer i find the best wifi point to connect to and connect to it.
I dont want to see the listings for the access points on the device, i want to see and connect to the listings on my computer.
Shameless bump.
I basically want my old android phone or old iPod touch to act as a wifi adapter. That's it.
You mean a hotspot?
