Hey everyone !
So here's the problem : I've got a Nexus 7 + Galaxy S2 I727R that I'd like to use at work. I could tether the connection from my S2 to my tablet and use that but I'm not on unlimited data plan. I also know I can share my PC connection via Bluetooth but that'd need a specific software to be installed, in the lines of stuff like BlueSoleil. Considering I have no admin rights at workplace, is there any alternative that would permit me to share the PC connection via a Bluetooth dongle without installing a software ? The BT dongle is detected AND installed via Windows 7 but there is no BT icons in the bottom-right corner and there's no built-in BT-software on the computer.
I did my research on the PortableApps forum, which would be a decent option but I can't seem to find anything...
Anyone had any luck sharing Internet over BT on a workplace PC ?
Thanks.
P.S : Remember, no admin rights.
Sorry you can't use a BT dongle without some sort of bluetooth software installed
Yes there are bluetooth dongles which are plug and play, which don't need installing drivers, see these ones for example
BLUETOOTH ADAPTER DONGLE PC LAPTOP-PLUG "N" PLAY - UK
Tiny Plug & Play Bluetooth 2.0 USB Dongle 100m range
Mini Bluetooth Dongle for Computers and Laptops - Plug N Play Transfer Files
Problem is all of them support Bluetooth 2.0 not 2.1+EDR, please advise and please help find a bluetooth dongle which is plug and play and is designed for bluetooth 2.1+EDR
Thing is, even with the bluetooth dongle working you won't be able to share Internet connection through ICS without admin rights. If anyone has a workaround on this, it would be appreciated!! I'd like to use my S2 more at work, but with 250mb / month it's left unused most of the day =/

Hallo!
I've got an unusal problem...
I'd like to use my PPC (O² XdaMini) as a Bluetooth Dongle.
In my opinion there must be a way to connect the PPC with my notebook (that has no bluetooth integrated) via USB, and then to establish a bluetooth connection between my PPC and any other bluetooth device, which would finally be usable with my laptop.
This procedure is almost the same as using the PPC's integrated modem to get a webaccess with a notebook.
Of course I could buy a USB bluetooth dongle for my laptop. But there could be another way as well, isn't it?
Thx very much for your help, cheers
Sebi
have you got any answers?
I'm also looking for a "way" or " software"" to be able to do what you said. But I couldn't.
Did you have a solution.
This is a very common q - along with asking the same about Wi-Fi.
Currently, this is impossible.
What I neeed is is an iphone or an android device to acts a wifi adapter/dongle so I can view a list of available access points on my computer and connect to them.
Does this make sense?
I'm sure this is possible.
Does anyone have any idea?
Ay help help? Thanks!!

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?

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
Hi,
I am a member of a lab where I can't enter with my phone (galaxy s10) for RF interference reasons.
I'd like to be able to use my phone from inside the lab when it's outside and even use it's internet connection.
What I do have in the lab is an Ethernet connection, and I have an ethernet adapter for my phone. The phone isn't rooted, I can't root it and don't want to root it. There's no internet access on the existing ethernet to the lab.
This issue bothers also my lab partners and we can't connect this lab to internet permanently.
my questions:
1. I'd like to remote control my phone over a PC (windows or linux) in the lab - is it possible to do this over LAN? I want to be able to access my whatsapp and Gmail, to know when I have a call etc... (like mstsc in windows, but to control an android)
Airdroid remote control doesn't work because my phone isn't rooted and it can do this only by USB...
2. Assuming that I put an ethernet switch where my phone is left, and me and my friends connect our phones to the switch, Is it possible to use the android's built-in ethernet tethering for each of us and use somehow directly the internet connection of our phone?
if you ask why, it's because we want a stable connection and not to rely on one friend's tethering.
a 4G dongle isn't an option (anyway, it's a switch, and putting a router is forbidden).
I know that the requirements are a bit strange, but this is the case.
Thank you for the help!
If phone's Android is rooted, and if phone has an appropriate Ethernet driver installed, and if phone is OTG capable, and if on phone the Ethernet app is installed, then you should be able to tether phone via LAN with computer.

It's not rooted, so maybe there's an alternative?
you can use teamviewer it's nice there's a PC to Android
and Android to Android control

Good idea. Is it only in the paid version of teamviewer?
Is there also another app that does it? I found somethink like apuppet, but I'm not sure it is what I need.
Thanks

Only to have said it: TeamViewer requires on both ends a vaild Internet connection to work, it's a wireless solution.

I think that it's also possible to work offline when connected to a LAN without interbet, but as far as I understand, it's only available in the full version of teamviewer for android.

As I can see I was obviously mistaken.
