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.

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

Hello,
last weekend I gave xAndroid a try on my O2 Diamond Pro (aka HTC Raphael). Everything seems to work very good so far! Wifi and Phone work. Amazing work so far!
But I am unable to get the XDA running xAndroid connected to my Windows Vista. Running on Windows Mobile the phone gets connected to my Windows-PC. Running xAndroid I am unable to install the Android/ADB Driver to attach my Android-Phone using USB. The USB-Dev-Mode is enabled!
I was using the tutorial of this page and recently I updated to the latest modules/rootfs/initrd images from there.
http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Main_Page
Does anyone have a clue how to make the XDA+Android make my Windows Vista detect the USB-Device?
Is it possible to use the USB to connect the XDA without WiFi to Internet using my PC (as known from Windows-Mobile/Active Sync using USB-connection). I also would like to try any kind of PIM-Sync using the USB-Cable as WiFi/Bluetooth are taking too much power off the battery.
For WM-Sync I am currently using Birdiesync + Thunderbird/Lightning. Is there anything else than Google-Sync that may work for Android? I would prefer a "local" solution (f.e. local server on my Windows machine).
Best regards
Gabriel
I've been trying to use the built-in USB tethering with Ubuntu 10.10 without any luck. On my previous Android phones (EVO, Nexus One), all I had to do was plug in the phone, select Internet Connection Mode or USB Tethering, and Ubuntu would automatically find a new connection (Auto usb0). That's it...no config needed.
The Thunderbolt has been another story. I can't get Ubuntu to see an internet connection for anything.
Can anyone shed any light on this? I'd really prefer to use the built-in tethering rather than go to something like EasyTether or PdaNet.
I'd still say easytether
All I have to do is type easytether connect and bam

Me too
I also have been trying desperately to make this work too, since it worked so well with my Eris and other phones. I think the problem lies in the proprietary HTC drivers - it seems that the driver built into LibUSB for cellular modems doesn't play nice with the HTC software. In Windows, there is an executable that installs the driver, and I have been thinking that I might be able to make it work using Ndiswrapper, but I have not had time to play around with it a whole lot.
I suspect that a release will come along eventually to update libUSB to work with the new HTC software, but in the mean time, EasyTether works great. I made a quicklaunch icon in gnome panel that links to the the EasyTether connection script - it will have to do until I can get native tethering to work.
If anyone else is working on this, I'd be willing to lend a hand with testing and troubleshooting.
Seems like I have the same problem with Ubuntu 10.10 and my rooted HD2 running Android. I think it has got something to do with the RDNIS drivers or something ??? Easytether is no option because it works for like 5 minutes then I need to restart the connection to get it working again ( very annoying ). I would much rather prefer to use the inbuilt tethering option on my rooted phone than yet another pointless piece of software. Maybe another Linux distro that supports this way of tethering ???
Thanks !

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!
I can't do Wifi at work, but Bluetooth is allowed.
My phone (Motorola Droid Mini XT1030) supports Bluetooth internet sharing, no problem. Tested it and it works.
Only problem is my PC running Windows 8.1 can tether to the phone and use phone's internet, but not the reverse. No way to reverse-tether to the PC via bluetooth that I'm aware of, and I'd like to stay wireless.
Got an idea to use a cheap old phone as a bridge. Reverse tether cheap phone to PC via USB using ReverseTethering app, then use phone's Bluetooth tethering to share that with my XT1030. Well, turns out this is not possible, at least not with Android. Author of the ReverseTethering app confirmed it.
So that got me thinking, how about old Windows Mobile? Used to be you could just plug a WinMo phone into the PC, and it was automatically reverse-tethered. Can an old WinMo phone share that reverse-tethered internet connection to another phone via Bluetooth?
If not, any way to do that with iPhone or Windows Phone 8? I still have my old iPhone 4S and can probably get a WP8 phone pretty cheap.
No idea about WM, but give this a try?

Thanks, but that's for ICS and below, all my Androids are on KitKat.
