Hi everyone, how are you doing?
The thing is i've got an HTC Desire with no data plan (only wifi), and i also have a (paid) 3g (3.5g+ says on the box) usb modem (for the laptops).
My question is, as you already suspect by now, could i use the 3g usb modem to give internet to my phone?? (maybe its a dumb question... i dont know.... it does seem to work on some android tablets).
I dont mean like plugging the modem to a laptop/pc and sharing the laptop's connection via conectify (or some other software). i mean plugging the usb modem to my phone directly.
thanks in advance.

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

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.

Hii Experts
I was just thinking that if one can install a USB Datacard/Internet Modem on an android phone using USB to Micro USB convertor.
It may seem weird but if it can be done a lot of people will be saving a lot of money.
I have a USB internet data card which I use on my laptop & it has unlimited plan. Usually at home I share my laptop internet using connectify & connect my Android phone to that. But if the laptop is not switch on or I am outside I have to use career services which is very costly.
So I was thinking that if I already have a USB Modem with unlimited connection & an android phone with micro USB, there could be some way to connect it with USB to Micro USB convertor & install it on my phone directly & use it on the go.
Already android tablets are supporting USB internet modems.

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?
Hello guys
I just wanted a help
My PC doesn't have WiFi
But I wanted to use Shareit on it.
So I was planning to use my another phone WiFi as a WiFi dongal to my PC
Is there any way to do so?
Thanks in Anticipation
I'm not sure you can do that, but if you could, it would probably involve USB tethering which should get the job done. Just do a search for "tutorial USB tethering" or something similar and you'll get loads of guides.
It just tethers your data from your phone to your computer through the USB cable which is more dependable and consistent in my experience. Depending on your phone and carrier, you may be able to just turn it on in your settings with the appropriate drivers on the computer. My phone doesn't have it by default so I use FoxFi which has support for WiFi (which you don't have), Bluetooth and USB tethering.
Hi guys. I'm getting stuck with this problem. I don't have a good house network (my isp is terrible) so I started using my Smartphone (huawei nova 5t) to play with my xbox on online games. Until now i've been using the Hotspot (wifi),but it's instable and it pings a lot. So I was wondering how could I use a cable to use my LTE connection on my xbox via ETHERNET using the USB Thetering . I bought from amazon an adapter that's Type C-Ethernet. It's a really good one,but when I plug it to my phone,my Huawei doesn't let me use the USB thetering,I can't activate it. So I was asking if there is a way,an external app or something that could make me do that. My idea is LTE---> Otg Type C Ethernet---> Xbox one. I found nothing on the internet about this,all the threads are about using that OTG to connect my phone to a router and using the router internet,and it works perfectly that way,but I wanna use the cable in the opposite way. I wanna share my smartphone connection with my xbox. Can I do that with that otg or it's just impossible..? Thanks forward.
Hi there. I need the same thing! Sorry to bump late but at least there's only 2 of us.
I think it's called
REVERSED TETHERING via an ETHERNET dongle. (or HOST mode?)
It should be technically possible because ethernet dongles are supported by a lot of ROMs but this function is usually going in the other direction.
Tetrd is another useful search term.
Did you get further with this since you last posted this?

If you can put a windows device between the set up, you can use the program Connectify to make your windows machine a router and choose the ethernet out and plug it into the xbox. And then usb tether the phone into the computer. Connecitfy works with speedify too so if you have multiple hotspots you can bond them together and get a more reliable connection.
Or, I suppose, a Raspberry Pi
