Hi,
I had a HTC Touch HD and i just bought a HTC Desire and i'm a noobie in this android stuff.
My question is:
How can i connect to my PC, not with HTCSync but with usb connection only to download data from my PC to my Desire. For example weather, mail account, watch videos from YouTube, etc.
Help me please...
Thanx
If you have it updated to Froyo, it should be no problem just to plug in the USB cable and
choose USB tethering. But why not use the built in WIFI tether, then you can use your
device as a WIFI hotspot, that any computer can connect to. ;-)
I have Android version 2.2 and i plug in the USB cable and choose USB tethering and i can't update weather or mail account or anything else.
What i have to do?
Thanx

hi ,
is it possible to connect my P3300 to the internet through USB that is connected to my desktop with windows ?
thanks in advance
p.s
i read the manuel and it doesn't mention
Hanan
Yes, it is.
Just connect it to your pc. That's it.
Through Active Sync it will automatically recognize an existing internet connection. Works even via Bluetooth. You just neen an Active Sync Partnership with the device and then you connect it the way you want, Internet connection will then be shared
HI
I'm trying to share internet using the USB cable and activesync, I already configured my internet connection to share it with the new "local area connection" created when the HD is plugged in, but it doesn't work!
and by the way my computer has an IP:192.168.1.X, but the local area connection has an IP:192.168.2.X
really I even don't know if this is possible, but I did it with my old palm then I thought it can be possible.
thanks!
Using usb or bluetooth with activesync will share in automatic the PC internet connection without the need to set internet connection sharing on the pc

Either with OR without my HD can't see the internet connection on PC with active sync over USB.
Huh
I just plug my HTC Touch HD into the usb port and select "Internet sharing" and it comes up straight away, even works from scratch on windows 7 cos i tested it!
Fellows.
I was digging into the search an could find nothing about it.
I had my excalibur working properly and after a hard reset, I was unable to reactivate this function.
I'm telling about use USB cable to share PC internet connection to HTC. I mean, navigate over the internet (with HTC) using USB cable conection instead of WIFI or GPRS alike.
When I sync my mobile, it automatically disables the WIFI connection, but I can't navigate just through USB connection.
Any thoughts?
thanks

tried that.... no luck...
Just wondering if its possible to share my internet connection from my laptop to HTC Desire.
Like use my laptop as an access point and share wired connection using Laptop Wi-Fi as i've seen thr are apps for iphone for that.
if your laptop is connected via cable and u have windows (perhaps mac or linux work as well, don know) use ICS http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_ics/
I'm affraid that it is only possible with Windows 7. HTC Desire won't find ad-hoc wifi connection.
If you have Windows 7 installed, try connectify.
Works like charm.
Of course you can try with WiFi router as well.
i wonder if its possible over bluetooth? i dont have wifi so its my only option ;D
if you have a mac, you can do it with the sharing-preferences.
Saw this link...
Use HTC Sync
"After you have installed HTC Sync successfully, please connect the handset to the computer via USB cable then drag the status bar down from the top of the screen. Choose Internet pass-through as the connection type. The handset will now be able to access the internet through the computer's connection."
Hope this helps

Nope, this only applies to the new Desire HD.
Can't be found in the FAQs for the standard Desire.
:-(
I'm just also looking for a solution to do that but can't find one.
found solution
dude...mine is galaxy ace...i used "mhotspot" software(noo need to install it) to share internet from my laptop over wifi.
its successfull...
you also have video on youtube about "mhotspot" chk itt
I have problem with my wifi connection (probably defected hw) and I just want to ask if there is any way to connect desire to notebook via USB and get connection from pc?
Thanks
Did you try installing the HTC Sync software?
Unfortunately, reverse tethering or connecting the phone through computer's Internet connection (through an ad hoc wifi) is not possible, which quite frankly is very annoying. It would be nice if this type of feature, although highly unlikely, could be incorporated an upcoming ROM update for example.
