Doesn't seem to work for me. Tried using my tablet connected to foxfi hotspot and got the usual T-Mobile error notice that hotspot isn't enabled when I opened the browser.

This worked for me on my stock non rooted tablet to get wifi tethering operational
Enable developer mode (Go to Settings -> About phone, and click on the build number until the developer mode is enabled 7 times?).
Enable USB debugging under Settings -> Developer options
Connect the device with a USB cable to a computer with the Android SDK platform tools installed
Start an adb shell: adb shell
( in windows 7 start command prompt as administrator, cd to the directory with adb in then run the command adb shell)
(if get unauthorized device error connect and disconnect USB cable and turn off and turn on USB debugging until the authorisation for the PC dialog box appears then OK)
In the adb shell, run this command: settings put global tether_dun_required 0
Access point was then operational and could see the password in the settings

I see when some people take down their status bar, it has a little android with it. Like when you pull it down, a picture of an android follows it. How can i make/put that in?

Please read linked article, but short version is:
USB Debugging mode - special communication mode with other device. Used mainly by developers to debug new apps. It can be also used for hacking or modifying ROM files. Nothing for common users
Enabling USB debugging essentially starts up the adb daemon on your device, which allows it to communicate with adb on another device to enable debugging commands.
It's used when developing and debugging applications, and allows you (primarily) to:
- Transfer data between a computer and your device (both ways)
- Read log data easily from logcat
- Debug applications, including breakpoints and heap monitoring
- Install and uninstall applications
- Access a stripped-down shell on the device, for command-line interaction.
...

I am trying to develop a client - server application. I have a few questions regarding the complete dev process. I am using Nexus 7 GPe with android 4.4.2 (not rooted)
Please help me with the following question.
1) How can I take logs without connecting my device to the ADB as android 4.4.2 has a restriction and the logcat applications cannot read the logs because of that?
2) If I connect the device to ADB and try to run my code, I get a permission denied error while reading a file that is stored at "/mnt/shell/emulated/0/Movies", how can I resolve that
3) To use the code on an emulator, I used to re-direct ports. Will I have to do the same while debugging the code on the device? Also, if yes, how can I redir or open ports for TCP/UDP connections through my application on the device.
Thanks in advance
If you connect via usb, then use adb tcpip 5555 you can connect over wifi until you reboot/disconnect (at which point you have to reconnect to usb again).
Is there a way of connecting over wifi without needing that initial connection? I'm used to slimroms where you only need to connect to usb once ever (for security reasons).
I've tried some of the `no root` apps but they don't work.

I'm late to this thread, but luckily, as of non-rooted Android 11 and up, adb works over wi-fi (without USB) on non-rooted Android phones via Developer options Wireless debugging switches.
Hello, another question in quick succession.
I have used the installer featured in this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 - to install all the necessary drivers so I can connect my phone through USB and hopefully install Android 5.1 onto my phone.
I went through every step in the topic and ADB Composite Device appear listed. My phone is also definitely connected as I check for 'adb devices' in command prompt. However, when connected in fastboot mode, it still asks to Connect to USB Device. USB Debugging has been enable on my device, also.
Help would be much appreciated! I'm new to this so it's a teensy bit of a rigmarole.
Could really do with help here, I'm stalling on it and it's bugging me - wanna get it sorted.
How exactly do you enable this on the Note 20 Ultra or any android for that matter? I'm in developers area and I only see an option for USB debugging. I went ahead and attempted to enable it via windows powershell (Instructions from Google sources) but when I go to .\adb connect <IP address> 5555 like instructed it doesn't work. Maybe someone can provide me with assistance. Thanks
