Hi guys, I need to connect my phone to my laptop via Bluetooth to share internet but windows can't find the correct driver to install. Its driving me insane!
It connects to the phone as I enter the code windows generates, but it fails to install the driver after that.
I tried USB tethering , its sets up the adaptor and it has an IP etc but NO INTERNET connection.

Wrong thread buddy.
Use wifi hotspot to share internet. Faster and more secure.

Does anyone know if I can connect my laptop to internet via my phone, T-zone internet, by using Internet sharing? I failed to do this. Can someone give me an instruction? thanks
hey buddy, you need to have data connection on, when you connect your phone via usb and internet sharing enable. Make sure you have tmo's proxy configured in your T-Mobile Data Connection.
Work with phone but Laptop
Yes my phone is able to connect to internet by itself, Tzone with proxy setup, but I would like to go to internet by using my laptop and use the phone as modem by running internet sharing program but It failed to connect.
what you are asking about is turning your laptop into a hotspot and connecting to the internet using the wifi not regular nework. is that it

you need to connect the phone to your computer via bluetooth and your computer will see the phone as a modem then setup the a new connection with the phone and voila.
I am using usb cable to connect it. I am running NBD 8.2.
not sure how to make it work on the cable but with 8.2 you should be able to connect the phone to the PC and turn on dialup networking via serial port over bluetooth

I never tried this before. I will try it tonight.
You have to set up the same proxy server in your web browser on your laptop as the one you have set up for the t-mobile internet on your phone.
Not sure really if its different for T-Mobile or not but i'm with Cingular and I use my wizard as my primary internet source for my desktop. Connect your phone via USB, let AS connect, then turn on internet sharing. It'll disconnect AS and display on internet sharing if its connected or not. Hopefully this helps.

Work great. thanks
No problem, glad I could help. I figured that out a few weeks ago the day after I got back from a business trip where I stayed in hotel that didn't have an internet connection and no wifi spots anywhere close. Wish I had thought to try that sooner.
i have a wi fi router and i connect to it through my lab-top but when i connect to it from my htc hd2 i can't open a link or i can't go into any website on the internet
i mean my mobile doesn't connect to the internet with any wifi connection
Make sure you are actually connected andnot just viewing available connections.

be sure not to have connected your mobile to your laptop via USB cable. If so disconnect it.
try setting static ip on your hd2
look i found that when i connect to the router it can open internet sites
but i have a DSL caple and i have a wifi access point
when i connect to it with my phone it show me on the phone that it is connected to it but i cant open any site on phone
did you try connecting any other phone or device rather than your labtop to this access point ?
can you confirm that the phone is correctly connected to the Router via the router administration page ?
are you sure that you do not have any extra WI-FI security that would be the cause of this connection issue ?

Hi,
Wrong answer, sorry
hi all,
i have a optimus one, am from india, vodafone connection. I want to use optimus one as modem for my pc, i called up vodafone customer care people and they told me the settings for LGE usb modem. Even after try many times, i am still not able to connect to internet. Its giving "unable to connect to remote host".
I told this issue to vodafone customer care team, but they were saying that there is some issue with using android mobiles as modem for pc.
has anyone here successfully connected internet to PC using android device?
And you want use it for PC or notebook ??

are you able to browse on mobile? how are you connecting to PC? i believe you might have read about teethering step above. use the USB option for PC or wifi option for Laptops. it should work out without issues normally.
I tried to follow this tutorial to use a CradlePoint CTR350 router with the Sensation
http://www.cradlepoint.com/about/blog/an-android-powered-cradlepoint-router
I do not see the "Mobile Broadband Connect" USB connection mode. I did see a USB Tether option, which asked me Mac of PC and I figured the router would be more like a PC and I chose PC. The phone would not share its internet connection with the router.
Has anyone been able to use a Sensation with a CradlePoint router, and if so, which router and what settings did you do on the phone?
Thanks
Any comments?
Thanks in advance.
I really would like to be able to connect the Sensation to a Cradlepoint router so it can be a backup Internet source if my wireline Internet service is down. Any ideas on getting Sensation to work with CradlePoint?

I had a quick look at the web site you gave. If I understand it, it's a USB -> WIFI router. Such that the Cradlepoint WIFI routes via USB and 3G (phone) to the Internet.
Assuming that's the case I can't see anything in particular why it shouldn't work.
Can you use USB tethering to connect a single PC to the Internet via USB/3G ? (If this works and my assumptions are correct the phone is working fine).
Do you need to configure the Cradlepoint device in any way ?
In the absence of this, the phone can act as a WiFI hotspot, does this not give you enough connectivity to the Internet?

I actually have Mac and I often use the wifi tethering. I only tried USB tethering with the Cradlepoint. The first time the phone asked me Mac or PC and I chose PC, thinking Cradlepoint would be similar to PC. I don't know how to get it to ask PC or Mac for USB tethering again. I would like to be able to connect an Ethernet cable to Cradlepoint to get to the Internet. That would be for the scenario my home Internet is down, then I would want to connect my main router WAN to the Ethernet of the cradlepoint and get Internet through the cell phone.
Anyone have any success in using a cradlepoint?
I came from HTC HD2 with Android where I had in the very usefull function Internet Pass-Throught.
With Internet Pass-Through I can share the internet connection of my pc with my phone through usb cable so I have not to use wifi when I have to download a lot of Megabyte.
Is it possible to do something like this with the Galaxy R or with same apps?
But wifi is free, why do you need a PC?

This is a standard function built into our android. You need no app.
Go to settings... networks... tethering... and there select if you want the R to route to usb or wifi.

I need the opposite thing, share the internet connection of my pc with the phone and not share the internet connection of the phone with the pc.

Because when I have to download a lot of data (maps or tegra game) wifi need a lot of time than direct connection with pc.

Then turn your pc into a wifi access point.
If you have linux, try this : http://blog.mycila.com/2010/06/reverse-usb-tethering-with-android-22.html
You can try the following for windows, but not sure it works!!
For reverse tethering/pass through, you have to connect your phone using USB and go to network devices and bridge these connections : NIC with you phone.
I use Connectify and a cheap USB wifi dongle to share the Internet connection from PC to phone. Good wifi connection speed is 3-5 megabytes per second. So it's less than 3 minutes to download half of a gig (the size of heaviest Tegra games). I wouldn't call this slow.

How do you do that? My phone is not visible as a network adapter when connected. Should I try USB tethering and doing it?
I always used to use this feature on my Windows mobile through Microsoft proprietary ActiveSync software. I certainly miss that feature on Android devices.
Hopefully we get it on ICS!
