USB Internet option in 4.2 JB

i m new to android system. , i have micromax canvas fun a63 with android 4.2.2.
i found an option of "USB Internet" in Settings->Wireless & Networks->More..
it says "Sharing Windows PC internet via USB cable"
i want to know more about this feature. i am not sure if this is similar to reverse tethering.. please tell me more about this and how it works.

is there anyone here who actually used this feature in windows 8 and can answer me satisfactory ....

Maybe its for got internet access for your device from your computer that connected to modem
Sent from my N986 using xda premium

yes, its clear from its description. but how can i do that?
i have windows 8.1 so how to use this option , can you tell me procedure?
i have installed universal ADB android drivers using PDAnet.
when i connect my phone with pc using this option (USB Debugging on) it shows a new network connection named "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device".
i have some question regarding the procedure.
1) Installed drivers are ok or not?
2) Is PC studio required for this process?
3) How to share my dialup connection.
4) what should be firewall status for this method?
5) will i need to configure mobile network or browser for this?
Hope for some positive response..

I have just gotten an ASUS MeMO Pad HD 7 which has the same option under settings. I am using Windows 7, but also unable to figure out how to share my internet connection via USB cable. Any help would be welcomed.

4.tab on NEXT.
5. tab on DONE.
6. Now in pc open "NETWORK AND SHARING CENTER.
7. right click on connection you want to share. for example "ethernet" on my computer.
8. click PROPERTIES.
9. click on SHARING tab.
10. click on "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection".
11. now choose newly added network which represents USB internet in "HOME NETWORKING CONNECTION" and click ok.
12. now you should be able to access internet on your android device.
IF NOT THEN YOUR FIREWALL SHOULD BE BLOCKING THE NETWORK SHARING.
TRY TO ALLOW NETWORK SHARING IN FIREWALL OR JUST TURN OFF YOUR FIREWALL.

[Q] CAT s50 (4.4.2) -> ADB: device not found

Hello xda users!
I have bought a CAT s50 device and I am very used to feature that phone vibrates once when someone answers my call. Since it runs andorid 4.4.2 it does not support this feature by default. So I found app Vibrate Call (on Play store) (if someone knows better way around without rooting it would be cool)
So there is a main problem - when I try to access my phone via "adb devices" command it is not shown there (I enabled USB debugging and device can be seen in explorer). So I cannot run the shell to enable app. I tried it as well on Linux where no drivers are needed
Any solutions? Anyone faced the same problem?

Try to unmount the storage / deactivate MTP when you are going to use ADB. Have you checked the devicer manager if your phone is listed?

Still no success. Looks like there is missing ANDROID (not USB) driver for s50 (under device manager). But it is strange that it did not work on Linux, but I am not sure that I tried PTP mode insted of MTP as you said.

Try to disable the storage mount at all. Just adb connection.

There is no right-click option to unmount it -> is there any other way to do it?

Unmark all the checkboxes MPT/PTP/Mass storage (In the Android interface)

There is the problem - I cannot uncheck, just switch between those 2. Any other ideas?
Thanks for answering!

Internal Storage isn't being recognized on Windows (Marshmallow)

After upgrading to marshmallow, the internal storage is no longer accessible from my computer. It only works when on twrp recovery mode. Already turned off USB debugging, changed MTP and back, reinstalled the latest ADB drivers, removed the ADB drivers completely and no cigar. Anyone else going through this?

I think you have to pull down the notification shade and search MTP. I can't remember what I did (you only have to do this once) but you can go to Settings, Developer options, Select USB Configuration (under Networking), and select MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) to enable this.

For 6.0 and up the internal storage, like lollipop was not allowede to be accessed on your computer even with mtp or media transfer protocol selected on your dev options. What i highly suggest for you is to tryother methods such as use stickmpunt from chainfire or try an app like airdroid to transfer files from your phone to the comp or vice versa

You pull down the notification shade and tap the USB icon, switch the MTP. I have to do this every time, regardless of the option set in developer settings.

With the mtp checked will you be able to transfer files on 6.0? I failed for it on my computer here though

This way works out of the box for me (of course You should do that AFTER You connect Your Marshmallow phone to the pc ). I didn't activate dev options. Windows 8.1

Connect your Android device with a USB-Cable to your PC
In the Wireless & networks section (you might need to click on "More..." on some android devices), Try to activate the USB Internet. Now choose the os .(doesn't really matter)
Now there should be check mark on USB internet.(if you're doing this for the first time. You may be prompted and that's ok)
Now on the Windows network connection tab on PC right click the the network you want to share->properties>sharing tab and check mark for allow other users to connect.

Question Junsun Pro, I can't connect the unit to a PC

Hello I need help with my junsun pro. I tried to connect it to a pc to use ADB but nothing seems to work.
I tried with usb 1 and usb 2, but when I connect the cable nothing happens.... The pc doesn't detect the connection and the radio doesn't detect as well.
The same usb port works with usb sticks and phone. I don't understand the problem.
I have already enabled usb debug (via developer option and secret menu).
Another important problem is that the usb settings menu doesn't work, so I can't change the usb connection type....
Is there a sort of block?

if your on a samsung use odin!

sorry no

Connect both (PC and head unit) to the same WiFi and just use:
ADB connect 192.***.***.*** on your PC to connect. (Use the IP-address from your head unit instead of ***)
You don´t need the USB connection.

Well... Logcat saves all files in the same folder, so why do you want to change that?
It´s easy to access, so there is no need to change that.
BTW:
I use FX since a couple of years now on all my units and never had any issues to find logcat files at all.

Hello, I don't know if you still have that problem or not.
But the fix I had for my exact same problem to access ADB was to click the 3 dots inside the dev options (up right).
And then select the other option. They are both typed in Chinese, but what you should do is that first change it:
Connect your USB to the laptop.
Try: adb shell with both USB ports, it will work with one of them.
