So, I have a Samsung Galaxy I5500 G5 with Android 4.0.4 and a PC with Windows XP SP3. I've installed all the drivers, configured the phone - ROOT, Superuser, Wi-fi hack etc.
I have the latest software downloaded from XDA (3.7) and everything "works" fine - The phone connect, it says connected but I don't have any connection - as you can see in the screenshot I don't have any active connections. Please HELP! I've lost so many hours trying to configure this...

Hi Everyone!
I just wonder if any master can help me in this regard. I have rooted my Tab2 (thanks to xda!!). I opened up buildroid vbox86 4.0.4 version in virtualbox (Host - win7 64 bit). When I browse from virtualbox I noticed that it showed me connected as wifi though I am working on desktop+virtualbox+ethernet broadband and without wireless interface.
So is it possible to get wireless settings from buildroid and put them into Tab2. My intention is that I need to connect Tab 2 to my desktop via usb and then with some modifications in wifi I could connect my tab2 to pc internet.
I tried several things like "Reverse tethering" that I found on this forum. But as far as just AndroidTool 2.30 helped me to browse but not to download. I want to download from market too. I am thinking of tweaking my tab2 to think that it is connected to Wifi as buildroid connects to my lan.
Thanks in advance,
Sampada
Android devices are known for their USB and Wi-Fi tethering abilities—rooted or unrooted—which comes in handy for those that travel and need internet on their laptops in areas that don't have any Wi-Fi networks available, but have a strong cellular signal.
And tethering via USB is pretty much everybody's preferred method, since it provides faster speeds compared to Wi-Fi tethering. Plus, your phone is constantly being charged, whereas Wi-Fi tethering drains your phone's battery.
While USB tethering your Android device to a Windows-based laptop is pretty easy, Mac users were required to root their phones in order to get the faster, more stable USB tethering to work. But not anymore. Now there's a new Android app on the market that lets you connect your un-rooted device to your MacBook for easy web access without any hiccups.
HoRNDIS, (pronounced horrendous) is a driver created by Joshua Wise for Mac OS X users with 10.6.8 and above. It allows you to use your Android smartphone's native USB tethering mode to gain internet access—Without rooting.
How to Use HoRNDIS on Your Mac for USB Tethering
To get started, first download the latest binary package of HoRNDIS from Github.
Follow the instructions in the installer. Once installed...
Connect your Android phone to your Mac via USB cable.
Go the settings menu on your phone.
In the connections section, select "More…".
Select "Tethering & Portable Hotspot".
Check the "USB tethering" box.
If everything worked out okay, your device should now become available in Mac OS X's network menu.
HoRNDIS has been tested extensively on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus running Android Jelly Bean, but is reported to work just fine with other Android devices, such as the Samsung Galaxy S, S2 and S3 as well as the new LG Nexus 4.
Try out your phone and let us know if it works!
I have tried everything I could. Even turned off my firewall and accepted all incoming connections but nothing. The app refuses to acknowledge that it is on the same wifi and it always defaults to remote connection mode.
I have:
- An LG nexus 4, android 5.1
- Asus U576E running ubuntu. I'm using web.airdoid.com to connect
Please help!
Same here, just installed this app and am trying it out. I can't transfer files locally, if I have to upload and then download files I may as well use any cloud based service. I read that some are saying a new update broke the local connections.
Bug reborn !
Hello,
When trying to use my phone with USB tethering or as Wifi hotspot, my computer connects well to the phone, but I have no internet connection on the PC.
- The sim card I use already worked on several other devices without problem for tethering.
- The phone is 100% stock (last CM update)
- Data connection on my phone is enabled and OK
- I tried on two PC (W7 64bits) that used to receive internet with USB tethering. So they should be OK.
Except from the ADB interface, all drivers installed successfully.
Any idea why it fails? I found no proper solution on the web.
Thanks;
OK... I flashed Blisspop 4.0.3 yesterday night and tried again USB tethering today.
It works well.
I guess there is something wrong with the last stock version, no internet connectivity in tethering + no adb...

I bought a straight talk Samsung galaxy j7 sky pro and can't find the hotspot if it even has one. So I installed a hotspot from the Google play store and it says I have to root before it can be used with this phone. Can someone please tell me what that is and how to fo it? I tried looking it up on Google but I couldn't make heads or tails of it.
This works
I have this phone for straight talk and i use PDAnet for android. If you have a laptop with hotspot capabilities, you can use PDAnet on there for a USB tether. The other alternative that might work for you ( did not work for me due to some dumb error) is FoxFi. FoxFi is compatible with PDAnet too. You can use a Bluetooth connection too for some devices.
Hope it works!
What does it matter what "hotspot" capabilities you have on any other device other than a standard wifi connection? And pdanet is used on the pc or other device? What exactly turns wifi hotspot feature on on this phone according to your solution?
So I was able to connect my windows laptop to the network but not my other android phone. I have PdaNet installed on it too. So if anyone has any tips on how to get android to Android to work with this phone pls advise. I'm using the j7 Sky Pro for straight talk

I also have a J7 sky pro and have noticed when trying to connect to a pdanet hot spot (using wifi direct hotspot on another device and connecting to it with the J7) that some devices have communication issues that are hit or miss. My wife has the galaxy note 9. When hers is used as the wifi direct hot spot it will connect to the network using WPS but pdanet bugs out or something. After wps process finishes it says "WPS complete, Waiting for wifi connection. It remains stalled out there. However I did manage to get it to sucessfully connect to it ONCE (1 out of about 400 attempts) I did manage to get it to connect outside of pdanet for internet connection by using the wifi connection settings and connecting to the network there but also hit the advanced options and then set the proxy to manual then used 192.168.49.1 as the proxy address & port 8000. that allowed me to gain internet with the j7. As i said though it so far has just been with the Note 9. A friend with an S9 set his up and I could connect to it just fine. So I don't know if it is pdanet actually nerking out and having issues or if it is the communication between the devices. If you are trying to use your J7 as the hotspot set it up as wifi direct instead of the foxfi hotspot then use connect to pdanet hotspot from the other device to connect to the the J7
