I have a bit of an odd question and I have searched google and the forums. So stright to the point I want to know if it would be possible to connect the samsung infuse directly to a laptop or computer via data cable and then use an app or settings in a way that would allow me to dial out to a server and make establish a connection on the computer using the phone. More or less what the title says would it be possible to connect my computer to a dial-up network using my samsung infuse with a data cable.
Would be sweet.

I have also wondered about this. I work on NEC buisness telephone systems. I can actually program a phone switch using the web browser on my phone. But some of the older phone systems only utilize an analog connection. Of course now at my house we only have our cell phones now and no POTS lines. So in order to connect to those systems from my house, I would love to be able to use the cell phone in conjunction with the laptop. I feel your pain bro.
I'm not sure, but I think it's more of a computer issue than the phone. Need some sort of weird network connection.
Great question, I'm glad you asked.
So dial-up on the laptop, and you want to use that dial-up connection on the infuse?

I'm talking about using the phone to provide dial tone to the laptop. I think that's what were talking about. Now I'm confused.

(Q) Why doesn't my Captivate pick up wireless signal from my old Fuse/Touch Pro when it is enbled for wireless access point?
Vice Versa. Captivate signals can't be access through my Nexus One. However, using Barnacle and modifying my laptop to mtu 1250, it connects. I like to play games on my Captivate. Use the phone as a Portable Game Player. But it will not connect to any of my devices. Any idea how to fix this issue? I don't want to pull out my sim card everytime i use the captivate.
The mobile hotspot on your fuse creates an ad-hoc network. Afik the galaxy can't see ad-hoc networks.

Even my old iphone 3g was able to find the signal. Is there a way that it can be recognized. i don't have wifi access at work so I use the fuse as my mobile access point. sometimes the phone get so hot using the 3g data. the antenna heats the chit out of the phone. i don't want to put through my new phone the same way but i want to use it. and i like to somehow use it using the 3g off of my fuse.

There is currently a command line hack to force the captivate to recognize an ad-hoc network, but from what I hear it's extremely buggy and there is no UI. It's going to be a while before it gets incorporated into the developers' to-do lists.
Haven't tried yet but how hot does n1 get when using as mobile hot spot. Haven't had the n1 too long so I am not sure. I really don't want to but might try it tomorrow.

I'm curious to use the Mobile AP but not sure if AT&T will charge me extra per month for it. Does anyone know if they do charge extra for using this option or the USB Tethering?
This past weekend I hooked my fuze to the captivate. Use pre8. Just heard that there is a pre9 out. Those guys have coded their a$$ off for us. Use it, works beautifully

And to connect it to the fuze signal, can't think of the cab, but it's a new comm manager that allows this. I'll look on my fuze for the name.
All the stuff is available here on xda.

as long as you don't go over your data usage cap you'll be ok. if your going to use it alot there is a tethering package think it is 60 bucks. i got lucky i am grandfathered in under the old iphone unlimited package so thanks at&t for all the free usage.
Im traveling this summer and am going to be in a area without wifi but with wired internet. Is there anyway for me to get internet to my phone using a usb cable from a computer and then transmitting that connection?

wait, internet from your phone to a wifi signal right?
Doubtful, I remember on my old WinMo 5 you could do that but I don't think you can do that on any device now. What you could do is get a wifi card for your computer (if you don't already have one), put your card in what is known as ad-hoc mode, and share your internets from there. If you need help, google it, there are plenty of guides online how to do it for Windows, mac, and linux.

HTC phones have always had the option to have internet pass-through where the phone would use the computer's internet connection to get online... I don't see this anywhere for the Captivate. Is this possible?
Like, reverse usb tethering?
Mannnn...I read a thread about this a long long time ago. Its around here somewhere.

Exactly. I used to do it with my Inspire all the time but I lost the bottom piece for that phone so I can not do that. "3G" in my area is 200kbps max... I need to update my phone but I can't do wifi because my phone doesn't pick up the wifi (I'm over 400 feet from the house) - having a reverse USB tethering option would be great. I have tried VirtualRouter and it just flat out will not broadcast the wifi from my laptop so I don't know what to do.

Hello. I want to know if there is a way to use this phone modem in the Computer?
but watch out, I'm not talking about Tethering or using a tether APP like PDANet, etc. I just want to have my Phone modem available in my pc, so I can use it in an application and connect to the internet throught this software. I need it this way because although I can use, it Internet in my PC by several ways (USB tether, Wifi hotspot, etc) I need to use an Aplication to avoid my 3G speed to downgrade after I consume my quota.
You are not gonna be able to bypass the limit. No matter what you do there is no way to use the internet and make it look like your not.
Ok. That's what I think, but a friend of mine claims he has a software that trick your carrier, and I wanna try it. Anway there are ways (with applications and settings) to use the Internet of your mobile phone for free. Those methods need to access to your phone modem.
Since no modem appear in the device manager, just a network device, it is impossible to use those methods with this phone

You can't get free internet. If your friend knows so much about this special software you would think that your friend would have told you how to conect your phone. But anyways.....install HTC Sync on your pc and it will install the drivers for the phone to be used as a modem.

I do can get free internet, but you have to have the phone modem available and special software and settings. I have HTC Sync installed. The thing is that phone modem doesn't appear, just a network device and I can do nothing with that.

I dont know what trying to steal from the network providers has to do with android/phone development. You are best off to just either pay for what you use or have your friend that is bragging about stealing internet help you with doing the same.
personally i bet hes lying to you just to make you waste time trying to find a way lol

Forget about tricking you carrier about data quota, I was exceptic about it, and I think is not posible. but I am sure there are ways of having free internet in your computer throught your GSM network without paying a cent, at least in my country (A friend of mine connects to the internet like this). The thing is that you have to have a USB 3G modem or you can use your mobile phone, but you need to have your device modem available.
Yeah, its called tethering. But you have to pay for the 3G internet connection through your mobile carrier. Nothing free. Unless you BORROW your nieghbor's wifi.

OMG. you think you are talking with a little boy. I know what Tethering is. Look my signatute, it is a speedtest result that I got doing Tethering.
ok guys lets let it go. Bottom line is there is no way to do what your asking. No matter what you do, packets will be sent over the data stream and this will be logged. You would have to make all data packet have a size of zero and not hit any towers or the server. This is not going to happen. Every single kb your phone sends out is logged. From the small 1kb used for an mms to the 4mbs used for an app download.
Also there is no way to access the hardware phone modem. To be honest I think your friend is lying to you

Ok. About the data plan quota I'm done. I doubt you can avoid that. But regarding free internet in your computer through your GSM network, that is true. But as I far as I can see, There is no way to have this device modem available.

When they say you need a gtx600 or above and a wifi setup and that the streaming is local I assume we can run the pc through our router right? The connection doesn't have to be directly from the pc to the shield does it? I'd rather not have to buy a wireless card for my desktop.
Thats how I took it. They never mentioned needing a wifi card on your pc.
in general streaming uses specific paths within windows/pc and your router to get to other devices. normally just about anything network based is either/or. however it gets a lot more complicated when you are trying to share between more then one router. im pretty sure it will be both. but if one was to be restricted, i think it would be wired only, and wireless wouldn't work.

Only need to share a router. So unless you have some really crazy home network setup, it'll work.
Oh, and I believe the requirement is GTX 650 or above, not 600.
Guess I have some crazy LAN setup then, because I don't have a router.

If you're directly connecting all your machines straight to the internet with no NAT, that is a crazy (and fairly unsafe) network setup. These days, most internet providers have a built in router and often Wi-Fi access point in the device they provide you.

My DSL modem (one port) has NAT, a firewall, and dhcp. After that I have 2 switches, a wifi ap and computers.

The DSL model is acting as a router (with NAT support), albeit a 2-port one (one on the DSL side, one on your network side). This is similar to my work setup.
