Hello there
I'm having issues using my desire as a modem...
Either usb connection of wifi-spot won't work.
When i connect in usb, my computer doesn't want to connect, and if i use the wifi access spot, then i see the network, i can connect on it but then no surf is possible.
I use Ubuntu on my computer
If anyone has some ideas i'll take them
Thanks

If I am not wrong, you need HTC sync intalled on your computer. I don't know if it has Ubuntu version from HTC as I'm using Windows.

So i tried to do some USB tethering today.. and it would not work.. because I am running windows xp on my laptop....
with the OTA it states i need to run Vista, or higher..
anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks
It runs on XP just fine. Make sure you downloaded the CORRECT pc app, there are flavors for all the operating systems. I have XP running and it works fine on my system. There is a wireless app that also works with the G2 now and if all else fails you could do that, too...
Good Luck!
make sure you have HTC sync on your comp and it will work np
HTC sync.. just download it from HTC site?
should be nice and easy..
yep just install it and restart
plug the phone in and on the phone turn on usb tether
Is there a specific one for the g2.. or does any touch sync work for it?
yea there is hold on
err. if i find it ill post the link

G2 tethering
You got the OTA update that enables wifi calling and usb/wireless tethering, right?
On your G2 Go to Settings, Wireless & networks, Tethering & portable hotspots, Help.
Under this help guide, go to the website link for USB listed there.
Go to this website and choose "USB Tethering with Windows XP"
Download the INF file "tetherxp.inf"
On your G2 check the "USB tethering" option, and connect your G2 via USB cable to your computer. Instead of using windows to automatically seach for drivers, direct the wizard to the "tetherxp.inf" file.
This will also work for Windows 7 if your having problems tethering there.
Thanks, this worked like a charm. Hopefully it's better than PDANet, which seems to slow down my phone like crazy (whenever I run it Launcher Pro becomes unresponsive at times).

Hi all,
I'm after a little help that I simply cannot find anywhere else... all other routes/searches have led me here so i'm afraid my first post is a question that hopefully someone here can help me with.
So... here goes...
I have a UK HTC Desire, running CM7.0.3.
I would like to connect it to my work laptop running Windows XP via the USB cable so that the laptop can use with the phones WiFi connection or the data connection.
The laptop has WiFi, but it's disabled via the bios and I don't have the password.
With the stock ROM, I connected the phone, put into tethering mode, installed a driver (googled off the www) and it all worked wonderfully.
With CM7 installed, the original drivers don't work and I cannot find anywhere new drivers that do.
I removed all drivers to start again on the laptop, so when i plug the phone in, the first it detects is the Android Phone and wants a driver for "My HTC". Everything I've thrown at it, windows says is incorrect
I installed the Android SDK, but my work proxy wont allow it to connect to their servers (it tries to do this automatically when searching for the usb drivers) for any drivers (which was one suggestion that Google informed me about).
I went to the HTC website to look for drivers, but they seem to have forgotten that they built the Desire completely (another fruitless Google search result).
Please can someone offer some suggestions on where I can get the drivers for USB tethering for the desire running CM7?
Much appreciated, thank you.

Same issues here. Tried the SDK Drivers too, didn't work.
Strange thing is, normal USB connection is ok with the old htc driver, the issues come up when tethering option is activated: it switches to another driver (Android Phone).
Try upgrading things...ur BIOS, ur Windows etc...
Why my HTC Desire z Can't be detected by my laptop, i've tried connecting it to the various usb ports of my laptop but still cannot be detected, i've do hard reset on my phone, download HTC sync, install drivers, but still my PC cant detect it, everytime i connect my Phone to PC it only charge but doesn't have any notifications like USB Connected, even on my PC, but when I tried to connect my Nook Tab. and samsung galaxy y using same cable and pc, my pc detects it, what should i do, please help me..
either wrong drivers/not installed properly, usb port bad on phone, bad usb cable (unlikely)
most often drivers are the problem

I Think it is not a problems in the drivers because as i know if it is a problem regarding the drivers the PC must pop-up a notification saying unrecognized device, but in my situation there is nothing happened when i plug my phone to my PC the only thing that happened is that my Phone is charging.. my main purpose why i've wanted to connect my HTC to my PC is that i wanted to use the adb to downgrade and root my phone and also after that to change my rom.., do you have any suggestion to downgrade and root my HTC which i am not going to connect it to a PC ?.
Thanks in advanced men..
not a safe way to do it but if you feel like it you can try visionary. if the wrong drivers were installed then it may not pop up with anything, you can use certain applications to test if any drivers pop up (just google search)
otherwise try and clean out the usb port

Maybe you uninstalled the drivers? Have you checked it in windows hardware proporties?

actually i've installed it's drivers in my pc, and also my data cable is new.. i've tried it on lot of pc but still it can't be detected..
try to reinstall / update drivers from off site
i know silly question, but .. Did you try changing connection type on your phone ??
Just to confirm try using same cable & phone on some other PC, if it works there there's probably some crazy windows error on ur laptop which is next to impossible to fix, only solution is to format ur PC & install fresh windows. If you phone + cable does not work on other PC there probably something wrong with either, try using same cable on different phone & vice versa.
hope this helps
