Tethering on HTC Desire

Hi,
I know that today there will be quite some luck new owners
When I read the specification from HTC:
http://www.htc.com/www/product/desire/specification.html
It says:
Tethering
* Internet sharing through USB

Does the HTC Desire has default app for that already installed?
Or we still have to find / buy from Market?

It would have to be installed, otherwise I would expect there to be a footnote saying that it is not included in the package.
If they were going to list every feature that was added by installing market apps, the list would be at least 10,000 lines long

With HTC Hero it was included and worked pretty well. So it'll be at Desire as well, as it's part of Sense.

tethering means using the phone's data plan to access the internet from the PC ... correct? and that does not mean the other way around?

Correct. It's an alternative to a mobile broadband USB dongle and much cheaper if you have an unlimited data plan.

would love wifi tethering, that would be awesome! i had it on a hacked rom of my G1, and that was excellent!

Ah thanks ... nice one if it is part of the HTC Sense package

Here is how it works,
Connect phone to PC with USB, The connect to a PC icon comes up, select Internet Sharing.
Simples

Can you also do it connecting by Bluetooth?

works great and quite fast.
Bubbles ( other poster used simples already )

You can only tether via USB at this point. Maybe when Desire gets proper root, we can use Wireless Tethering

and for mac?
will tethering be available on OS X? 10.6 (snow leopard)?

Evening all,
This may be a noddy question, but having just got my shiny new Desire and plugged it into my laptop for the first time and selected 'Internet sharing' it connects to the PC ok, but doesn't connect to the network on T-Mobile (UK).
Any ideas on how / if it's possible to sort this - or is this possibly one of the reasons release was delayed, so they could lock it down unless you've specifically subscribed to use your phone as a usb modem?
This always worked fine on my T-Mobile MDA IV/Touch Diamond, but I was using one of Shaks' ROMs....

I works fine on Ubuntu, so I don't see why it wouldn't work on OS X.

Did you receive yours with the first bath (Saturday) or more recently? I somehow doubt they would delay release because of that as they could simply push OTA later.
Did you try other computer?

Now got laptop online through Desire
Mine arrived on yesterday (Monday). Trying to connect to a laptop running Windows 7. If I can't get this to work it'll be a major headache for me, as I used to use my touch diamond once or twice a week to go online when I was out and about.

Right, it was a noobie mistake - always helps to install the HTC sync software and drivers off the SD Card supplied in the phone first!
This installs the relevant drivers into Windoze and, hey presto, after un-mounting the SD Card and reconnecting the device using the 'Internet sharing' option I got a stable network connection from phone to laptop.
Peace and harmony restored once more

I can confirm this works excellently and with no effort at all on Ubuntu.
Just plug in your device on the USB and set it to Internet Connecting Sharing. Ubuntu detects it immediately.
It must be this easy on Mac I imagine.
I would be interested to know whether all ROMs can do it though, I'm unbranded

Hello,
can you please let me know how you managed to get it working with Snow Leopard ?
When I switch to tethering mode, I see a new modem ( I select generic & interface but I need to enter a login & password ( and also an accesspoint name & CID ) in order to connect.
Thanks for your help.

[Q] Macbook Pro and DESIRE HD (tethering?)

Hi you all.
I tried to search my question on forums but I got Wifi and Bluetooth info only.
I have got a Macbook pro, bought on december 2010.
I have a Desire HD with RS GingerX 2.8 and sense 2.1.
I would like to share the DHD internet connection with the macbook pro via USB.
Is it possible? Can anyone help me?
I have just shared the Wifi connection with hotspot wifi on my DHD and it works perfect.
USB seems to be impossible to use. Why?
Help me and a cold beer will be shipped to your home
@ Mods: Please don't ban me for this question because I have no idea where find the answer...

Not too familiar with the custom ROM you are using but am on stock rom and using the USB tethering option from "connect to PC" in settings, it works fine for me on my Macbook. However what is the problem, if you can make it work via wifi I think its rather better without any annoying cables and all.

I can't connect my LG to my laptop

Hey gang, I can't seem to connect my LG to my laptop. I had the GS3 and it never was able to connect I thought it was because Samsung and Apple didn't get along that they made the connection difficult. But now I have the LG and its the same thing, it doesn't want to connect. Is there something on my computer or is it the phone?

Hello! You can find the drivers you would need and I would suggest installing the LG PC Suite, from here..
http://mobilepcsuite.com/lg-g3-pc-suite-465
After installing these, and your laptop doesn't recognizes the phone then there could be old drivers blocking you from connecting your LG phone.. OR bad USB connections ( check your USB ports ).. Good luck

Have you installed your phone drivers from that site? Try connecting another USB device such as a flash drive or something to check if your ports are working well. Reboot your laptop with the phone plugged in.. See what happens.. Next step is to try connecting your phone to a pc or another laptop.. Your USB ports could be damaged.

my other USB connection work. I rebooted and it gives me that little sound that its connected but "Charging" nothing far as MTP. This is frustrating. I always have to use Airdroid in order for me to sync my pics or any other files.

Try this http://www.mylgphones.com/download-and-install-the-usb-drivers-for-lg-g3-on-windows-and-mac.html
Check your USB ports under Device Manager on your laptop and uninstall those with yellow exclamation marks ( if any ).
BTW.. after you connect the device to your laptop and use the pull-down menu.. Do you get the 3 options ..
Charge Phone , Media Device (MTP) and Send Images (PTP)?

Damn bro! If those files didn't help then I'm afraid I have no more options or suggestions..Usually, it's a driver issue but I have no clue about Mac and their drivers. .. Connect your phone to a laptop using Windows.. In that way you'll know if the device is faulty or not.
Let me know once you've got it resolved..Hopefully it'll be soon .. Good luck :fingers-crossed:

Thanks for the tips. I was able to download the LGPCSuite and when I do connect my phone and open the app it recognizes my phone, but all I can add to my phone are pics, videos, and music. I can't add any folders or anything else. Its not allowing me to see all my folders on my phone.

A weird solution that worked for me
I had the same problem. My g3 would only charge when connected via usb and only connect to pc suite via wifi.
I tried everything, but no luck.
In my case, the problem was that the usb cable, although it looked like it was nicely plugged in, it needed to be pressed down to make a right connection. If i just plug the usb cable, it just showed that the phone was charging.
But if i press the last part of the cable, just where it enters at the bottom of the phone, then all other option show up(like mtp etc), my windows system makes the familiar usb sound etc. If I give up the pressure, then back to charging only mode.
I hope this helps some of you. It is a bad usb port at the phone that caused the problem.

Well Thanks, for the post, I know you didn't need to write all this when your phone was connected for good, but you did it because you knew there would also be some people like me in need of your help,
My friend has the same problem with his AT&T LG G3, it only charges when connected to PC and no other connection setups are shown neither on the phone nor in the PC/laptop so, and i have done all the things possible and i could thinks off.
Now i think i should try your method and will tell you if it also works for his G3 or not. Thanks by the way.
