USB cable + Internet Sharing. Works like a charm.
yeah i know that but i want to know what i m supposed to be doing after i m done hooking the phone with the laptop using a usb cable ???????
just plug it in
all you have to is plug the usb into phone amd then go to start menu /accesories and click internet sharing. it should connect if you are having problems check these thingsgo into activesync on desktop amd connection setting make sure the box is check that allows networking. also you can go into setting/connections then click more and click on usb to pc, and enable advanced network capabilities. lastyl close active completely ctr+alt+del process and kill wescom,rapi,and one u should see it. give it another try. it is super simple no drivers needed
Hi,
Can we connect our HTC Desire to a PC via USB cable, and then connect to the internet via that PC internet connection?
We are able to use this way on Windows Mobile 6.x + Microsoft ActiveSync.
Thanks.
I think so, please try the following:
* Make sure you have installed HTC Sync first and have your SIM card inserted in your phone.
1. Make sure your phone’s data connection is turned on.
2. Connect the phone to the computer using the USB cable.
3. On the Connect to PC screen, select Internet sharing, and then tap Done.
Hope that works.

I am wondering, if I have mobile broadband card that I use to catch 3G internet...could I attach the Desire via USB cable to my laptop and share the internet connection between both my laptop and phone?
Not tethering (using phone's internet as main internet source for computer) rather -
Mobile Broadband Card ----> Laptop & Desire?

I'm not entirely sure this would work as the phone might resort to using it's own variety of data plans.

Well...I have been wondering if you could share the internet connection from a broadband card between a laptop and mobile phone (connected via USB cable). I guess I will just have to try it out when my phone gets here.
That is the other way around
You have described phone internet sharing or tethering.
What I meant is like this:
1. Your desktop PC is connected to internet
2. Connect your phone to the PC using USB cable
3. You can now browse the internet in your phone ... using internet connection from the PC.
Reverse tethering. We can do this with WM + ActivySync (I dont remember the exact option).
Well, we can forget about this ... I have searched last night and Android simply cant do it.
Why we need this? Sometimes, at work, we cant connect our phone to the office WiFi and 3G is not available.

I also have this need.
In case HTC ships updates on-the-air it would be much better not to lose some of the limited 2GB data plan per month I have.
Can you not just set up your pc as a wifi access point and the connect your phone via wifi?
That is a way, creating wifi adhoc, but sometimes you cant (restricted by security policy).

Screw security policy! ;?P
Using a adhoc connection would be the simplest (and best?). But if you can't (not allowed) to set up a adhoc connection, you could (unless bridging is forbidden, but then tere's not much you can do..) connect a wifi router/ap to your ethernet card (if it's in use, use a USB-version). Bridge your network connection with the ethernet card and the router/ap and then connect to that..
A long shot? Perhaps! But it should work. If you set the ap to not broadcast its SSID it's harder for others to detect..
And you should be able to run a router/ap on batteries..
Just an idea.. :?D

Yes, i understand what you mean now, this feature was available on WM and ActiveSync... i remember setting it up while going through the ActiveSync Wizard, but AFAIK, i could not find a similar option for this with the Desire
EDIT: Could you not try setting up Ad-hoc mode on phone and PC (the PC will have a wireless network adaptor), then turn Internet Connection Sharing on in Windows, and connect the phone to the PC?
I did, but it does not work with my work laptop. Probably restricted.
But I found a WiFi access point already Installed by my co-worker ...
Well, this feature is not really important, but useful ...

I agree and it's a shame... this was useful when I had it working on my WM device.

Could someone please explain how to do this. I can see how to set up the ad-hoc network and to set it allow internet sharing. But a wi-fi scan on my HTC Desire does not find the network.
unfortunately reverse tethering or connecting the phone through computer's connection (through an ad hoc wifi) is not possible, which quite frankly is very annoying, hopwfully they will fix this in an upcoming ROM or something.
[q] same prblm but diff device

I don't think that there is a way to do this at the moment with out flashing a Rom, however I'm using RCMix S GingerSense Rom, it seems that HTC Sense version 2.1 has added "internet pass-through" as a option when you plug the phone into a PC, however will HTC leave this in if/when they do an official release I don't know.

Yeah, if you install a sense 2.0 or 2.1 Rom it has an internet pass through option which allows you do do that

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.

its successfull...
you also have video on youtube about "mhotspot" chk itt
Hy there, maybe someone could help me with this:
I tested a few ROMs and there is the same situation when it comes to USB Thetering everywhere:
On Linux: Connected phone to Laptop, enabled USB Thetering, connection worked in 2 secs. All fine !
On Windows 7 / x86 /x64: Connect Phone to Laptop, enabled USB Thetering and then it starts:
There is the network status icon in the Taskbar (lower right corner of the screen). This Icon is spinning a circle like it does before it establish a connection, you can click on it but nothing happens. You have to wait for 3 minutes, then a Window pops up that Windows found a new network. (simply: it freezes) When you try to get into Windows network sttings also nothing happens until the 3 minutes are over. (freezes)
The connection itself is established after 1 minute and you can browse...etc... But in Taskbar the Network icon keeps spinning until the 3 minutes are over.
Also it creates every time a new network when the phone gets into usb theteing. I´m now on my 10th private network...
I installed latest Java, latest HTSync... (Even Android SDK is installed)
This behaviour is absolutely not normal, it happens on original Sense ROM, as on AOSP Roms...
Is there anybody out there that knows something about this ??
Does nobody use tethering ?? cant belive...
push
Same thing used to happen for me until now as my phone doesn't recognize the USB any more!
