[Q] Tethering

This question has probably been asked a million times but i couldn't find an answer.
On my HTC Hero (android 2.1), there was an option to tether once you plugged the phone into your computer. This could also be used as a wireless receiver for a desktop computer lacking a wireless access card. I was using this as a last resort after losing dozens of Ethernet cables to vermin under the house. Basically the idea was: connect to your homes wireless router on the phone, then plug the phone into the usb slot of your computer and it would share that wifi connection with your computer. Recently I have switched over to the all powerful HTC HD2 and I am realizing there is no way to do this, that I can tell, with the stock phone. Is there something I'm missing?
I have tried using the Internet Sharing option, as well as the CMInternetSharing.cab I downloaded from you guys, and neither seem to bring this ability to the table. Is there an app out there that can solve this problem?

Ussually a Custom rom will fix this most have the Internet share or WiFi router but you need to HARDSPL your phone. also theres a way for you to do it just deleting your or editing your REGISTRY.

USB host and USB modem?

Can I have a rooted device running on a custom ROM. It supports host USB. Can I run a mobile wireless USB stick through the USB port and get internet? I was hoping to hook it up to my tablet and have a mobile hotspot everywhere I go by tethering the connection to my other devices via WiFi.
Thanks for all the help!

tethering question

I was wondering if it is possible to WiFi tether with the GN10.1?
I tried connecting the tablet to my PC via USB, but the tether option did not show up in the settings like it does with my HTC Amaze.

It is for me...
I have wifi tethered my table to my phone and my PC. You need the right software or know how to use netsh to make your PC a wifi hotspot.

Are you trying to use the WiFi on your tablet to give your PC Internet access? Presumably meaning your PC does not have a WiFi adapter of its own.
You probably need to look for an app for that. And/or a driver for your PC so that it can recognize the tablet, when connected by USB, as a USB network adapter.

I don't really know what you mean but yeah let's make the most out of it.
You can Thether your Wi-fi on your Android phone and then connect it using 2 USB cables or you can turn on 1 Android wi-fi hotspot and connect the 2 Computers to it.
You can also turn on 2 Android wi-fi hotspots because connecting 2 pc on 1 Hotspot will slow down your Internet connection.

Well it depends on what you want to do exactly, cause android phones dont really support this. You can tether your mobile data connection to one PC via USB and use it to have internet, but the only way you can actually really have 2 pcs see each other through an android phone is through the WiFi hotspot, so if your computers don't have a WiFi card, this wont work. And plugging one phone to a PC and the other to the other PC will only give you internet on both computers and that's it. If you truly want to have both PC comunicate with each other without WiFi, the only option that's viable and won't cost too much is buying a crossover ethernet cable (cable with the transmit and receive wires inverted on one end) and plugging it in both LAN cards. That way both PCs will see each other and you will be able to share files on them, and you can even plug one android phone on one of the PCs to give it internet and share the internet connection with the second PC though the LAN card and crossover cable. Other than that you can also buy either a switch or a router and plug both computers on it with normal ethernet cables, but that'll cost you a bit more than juste a crossover cable. Also, note than you can connect ur android phone on the router if it has WiFi built in, but you wont be able to share the internet connection via the router. You will also need to plug it with USB and share internet via the computer which has the phone plugged in. Hope this helps even if it wasn't quite what you're asking, but it's the only way to do what you want without having to go all out trying to create custom scripts and all and risk bricking your android phones just to connect 2 computers together when you can just take a normal ethernet cable u have lying around and hack it up to convert it to a crossover without spending a single dollar if you don't want to actually buy a new crossover cable which might cost like 5$.

actually i want to play multiplayer games, i have wifi router in my home, but no wifi cards in both the computers, is there any option to connect both the computers using andriod phones,, like computers connect to phones(via usb), phones to wifi router ?

First activate internet on ur pc with usb tetharing, and do same job in second pc then try to connect both pc with any type of FTP software

Cannot USB tether (Samsung Galaxy S5)

Hello, so i just updated my Galaxy S5 to the newest android 6 version but for some reason i cannot tether it to my PC or to my laptop. I connected the phone via USB to my PC and connected the phone to my wifi network but as soon as i tick the USB tether option it deticks itself back in a matter of just a few milliseconds, i don't know why, i would like to find a solution for this because tomorrow i will probably need to tether my phone to my work laptop.
