I cant use my Samsung Galaxy Y as a modem for my pc. I have already installed USB drivers and setup modem settings on my Windows 7 pc. I am using an Airtel sim on my phone. 2G data is active. When i click connect, it shows "registering on network" and the arrows on the notification bar of my phone which shows the data transfer disappears and the data connection gets disconnected showing the data usage and then error appears on pc that connection failed and the data gets connected again on phone. I have tried many times but it fails everytime. I was using the same sim as modem with my old nokia phone which was working perfectly. Can anyone help me with this..?
I found the solution myself. The only thing I needed to do was to go to network settings and enable 'USB Tethering' and thats it...

I figured this out before finishing posting. My phone an htc touch pro 2 unlocked to boost cdma unlimited with energy rom windows 6.6, I ran the wifi router app and it would say...connected, but, my pc would be able to get to the internet [it shows connected to...] Next, I tried to enabled the windows zero configuration by right clicking on the wireless strength bar and then I was able to click on the little pc screen that blinks when it is connecting to the network and it opened the screen with all of the wireless networks available, last I double clicked on the htcpro2 essid and it asked for the pass, but before it worked windows poped up with a window that said "your computer does not allow connection to ad-hoc networks...blah" and it explained how to do this [enable connecting to ad-hoc networks] after this was done, I connected to the network and it worked. If my instructions aren't clear then mess around with the settings until it worked. You can also ipconfig in Run>cmd>ipconfig to see if your pc acquired an ip.

Hmmm...sounds like an overprotective setting on the PC. I don't seem to remember the XDA Wifi version saying anything about being Ad-hoc. Could be wrong though...
I am not able to browse on wifi network. Wifi toggles to on position, can scan the network but not connecting
My phone is running on stock Indian ROM 1.52.720.3 with S-off and rest everything stock, "NOT ROOTED"
Till 2 days back it was working fine and i could use the wifi network
Now most of the time it does not connect to the wifi network, it keeps scanning, detects the network, attempts to connect and finally says disconnected.
Sometimes it connects, i can see the assigned IP but not able to browse the internet or use the android market.
However internet pass through option is working when plugged in USB
I am able to connect my laptop to the wifi network and use the internet, so my network is fine.
I spoke to the customer care, they told me to do a factory reset from Bootloader option...I did the factory reset but still wifi not working
Any help please

I haven't had that issue with the stock ROM, and but it has come up with some modified ROMs. The solution has been to scan for the network, and attempt to connect and then disconnect & forget the network. Rescan and connect worked perfectly after that.
Worth a shot.
I'm getting no connection error whenever I enter any of the google apps (google+,gmail,youtube,etc) when I'm connected to wifi in my Nexus5. I have another smartphone (samsung galaxy fit) with an aircel simcard in it which provides the wifi connection via hotspot.
But Everything works fine when I'm connected to the mobile internet in my Nexus 5.The issue occurs only when I'm connected to wifi.How do I fix this?

If your phone is on Lollipop, i read that OSP works witht he Dalvick Runtime and as such, was removed cos of incompatibility with the new ART Runtime. I was bewildered also after my Lollipop update that i lost that feature. If u are on KitKat, make sure OSP is ticked and i advice u troubleshoot with a cable connection initially then subsequently move to Wi-Fi.
Hi,
I suggest that before the update worked perfectly.
After updating the wifi tethering does not work anymore.
In practice, the other device connects but does not navigate.
I noticed that with tethering connected and connected device if I disconnect the data and reconnect them, the connected device navigates but no longer surf the phone.
To be able to surf the phone I have to disable the router and disconnect and reconnect the data.
It's as if either surfing one or the other.
I have already reset my factory data.
My sim has no tethering block.
I've already tried to change APN (default - default,dun - default,supl,dun).
The same problem also in safe mode.
Can someone help me?
Thanks
Nobody? :crying:
