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
try this
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=1058&news_id=802
its for the desire z but its the same phone
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).
I'm having problems with USB tether. I've kept up with the CM7 nightly's and so far none work with me when it comes down to USB tether.
I think I'm missing the drivers on my computer.
I'm running windows 7, from what I've researched, windows 7 should install the drivers automatically. When USB tether is activated on my inc, my device manager shows the driver as RNDIS. I've tried downloading countless driver updates but to no success.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the drivers needed for USB tether are different from the regular USB drivers needed to use your phone as a drive on your computer right?
Some people have had the same problem but no solution has worked for me.
HELP PLEASE!!

+1 I have the same issues with USB Tether in CM7 Nightlies. Im thinking its the new kernel?? But it will NOT recognize any driver that b4 worked for the RNIS Adapter it finds to connect. It fails to install and stays with a yellow error logo Im using PdaNet and/or easytether in the meantime.

Yeah PDANet works fine. I think it may have something to do with the kernel. Hopefully they get a fix for this.
Na its something with windows 7 XP installs the drivers just fine. Pdanet always cuts out for me after awhile.

PDAnet is rock solid for me. CM7 RC1 on DINC. Windows 7 x64 on my PC. I use PDA net for hours at a time with no problems. 14gig data last month on Verizon.
Must be something on your phone or PC if you are having problems with PDAnet.
Hi,
you just need to download Active Sync (by me it was ActiveSync 4.5) and this will automaticly install the generic rndis driver. After installing just connect your phone via USB and activate USB - tethering. (- for XP - Win7 install the driver automaticly)
Ibwished activesync worked for windows 7

Hi,
i am not able to tether my desire on windows7 machine, it does nicely on windows xp. I have installed htc sync but with no help. Any idea as to what is missing.
wlan tether or usb tether is not working?
me too..My computer's operating system is Window 7
I'm using hTC Desire...it was working with original ROM
but after I flashed to CM7 RC2 and GingerVillain ROM(both are 2.3.3), I found USB tethering unable to work, when I ticked it then it will auto untick the box
someone know how to solve it?
It's quite obvious the problem lies with gingerbread...so either revert back to froyo...or try uninstalling the USB drivers and downloading the latest ones (they come with HTC sync from HTC.com)
Gingerbread isn't really (officially) out, soooo...that's my theory at least
usb tether dont even work on XP with the latest android usb driver revision
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.

JBM2k.

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...
The device acts as if it is being charged.
Steps I have taken so far:
-uninstalled T-mo Samsung mobile drivers and reinstalled
-deleted (uninstalled) ALL recognized USB devices via USB deview
-tried to connect without Samsung drivers installed and all USB devices uninstalled
-tried to connect with Samsung drivers installed and all USB devices uninstalled
-tried to connect without Samsung drivers and other devices installed
-tried to connect using safe mode, both with drivers installed and not
---**these are both trying with the current one provided on Samsung's site (1.5.14.0) and with the one found here on XDA from 25apr2013 (1.5.23.0)
-tried to connect using different USB ports
-tried to connect using a different USB port on a different USB controller altogether
The kicker:
Device is recognized instantly... on my laptop.
This means:
-It is not the USB cable I am using (even though I have tried 3 different cables altogether regardless, including the one that came with the phone)
-It is not the device itself
Possible: Windows issue? Last time this happened was long ago when I had gotten a MyTouch 3G Slide. I eventually just reinstalled Windows since I had been meaning to then. I don't want to do it now though because I have too many things installed on here to start a fresh install... but I suppose if nothing else works, that's what I'll have to do.
Before that though, I would love to hear any other suggestions from anyone here.
Some time the fault cud be the cable itself... I had same issue months ago my original samsung UsB cables didn't worked... It olwyz show the msg UsB not recognized... Then I tried with a different UsB cable (i had a Nokia UsB cable) and it worked...
Try it...
Cheers!!!

As stated, I have tried to use two other USB cables aside from just the one that came in the package.
Since all cables work on the laptop, but not this computer, I have pretty much singled it out to be a windows or a driver issue. :\
What are the specs of your desktop and the specs of your laptop? You claim it is a windows issue so I assume your laptop (that recognizes the phone) is not windows? Do you have Kies on the PC? If so, try to uninstall it completely and then install the individual drivers. Also, maybe just try updating Kies. You wouldn't need to install it, just download to your PC should work. As far as that goes, does Kies recognize the phone when plugged in at all? Does ODIN recognize the phone when plugged in? Maybe some of this will help you to find out if it is a driver issue or not. Good luck.

PC is i7 920, 12GB DDR3, Intel x58
Laptop is i5 2430M, 6GB DDR3, Sandy Bridge
Both are Win7 Pro, neither have Kies (I always just downloaded the drivers themselves) but I'm downloading it now to give it a try. As of now, nothing recognizes the phone on PC.
Kies method didn't work either
I did "Troubleshoot connection error", which I guess reinstalled the driver, but it still didn't work.
Getting ready to dig out that Win7 Pro CD at this point... :\

Samsung Kies isn't yet compatible with the sgh-m919. Samsung rep told me soon last night
Have you unlocked developer options yet and checked usb debugging? That might be your problem....

Enabling dev options and USB debugging was the first thing I did once I turned on the phone. Tried it both with and without, still not recognized either way. Still recognized on laptop.
I've also reinstalled windows altogether, since that fixed my issue last time around, but it's no good this time still. Clean install, formatted. No good. Previous steps from first post also taken, still no good. Tried the PDAnet method as well, no good.
At this point I am wondering if it might be an x58 issue, which would really suck, but it's the only thing I can think of given all the steps I have taken.
Okay... so what's the trick on getting Windows 7 x64 to recognize this device in Download Mode?
I have enabled USB Debugging. Tried several different ports on my Maximus V Extreme motherboard. I have tried using the PDANet drivers. Nothing works.Windows will prompt me with the "Device Driver software was not successfully installed" message. Anyone know a trick?
EDIT: FIGURED IT OUT. The last Android device I owned was the Galaxy S2. Now, back then it was understood that one should avoid Kies like the plague. However, in this case, it solved my problem. It installed all necessary drivers and I was able to communicate with ODIN. Cheers.

I might have pinpointed the issue!
I tried Kies again, uninstalled, reinstalled, updated. No go. I did Kies by air and got a connection! So It's gotta be something with the USB.
Although I thought it was weird, I think it might be an x58 issue, I decided to pursue that anyways.
I found out that USB issues are common with x58 (per this forum: http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=159610 ) and will be trying a fix located here: http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=442244&mpage=1
I'll report back once I try this out. Hopefully it fixes it.
If not, I just ordered another USB 3.0 controller (completely unrelated, it doesn't need to be USB 3.0, just a different controller altogether, but USB 3.0 is backwards compatible anyways. I just needed one for blackmagic) which was PCI-e x1 (still dependent on x58, so it wouldn't have mattered, check diagram on fix link), which I WAS going to install in my PCI-e x1 slot, but that would have not worked! Going to install in a PCI-e x16 and hope for the best.
I'll reply back once I test that out too.
Confirmed x58 and S4/general USB connectivity issues

In case anyone was wondering or stumbles upon this later, I have a few updates.
I got the USB controller today and plugged it into the PCI-e x16 slot, plugged in the S4 and it worked completely fine.
I also contacted EVGA about the issue and will get an RMA, so perhaps it's just a faulty unit. However, this seems rather common (refer to previous linked threads) in x58 chips.
I imagine it has something to do with power distribution with the controller, which is why upping the ICH voltage fixes it for some people. The USB controller is powered via 4pin, not dependent on Southbridge. I guess the S4 has higher voltage(?) requirements for it to be recognized. It seems rather strange since my other devices are still recognized, but well, that's what I managed to come up with.
Cheers.

Here's my craziness.
USB connection was working yesterday. Today, it is not.
I have uninstalled/reinstalled the Samsung Windows drivers/Kies
I have even adjusted my southbridge voltage to 1.2V in my BIOS
Still, no joy.
Curiously, when I boot the phone into download/ODIN mode and connect it, ODIN recognizes the connection. Reboot back into normal mode, and no USB connection is recognized. It is not showing up in my Device Manager as an unrecognized device. It just doesn't know it is there (unless phone is in download mode).
UPDATE: Solved. I had installed this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261013). Reading back over the thread, it provided instructions for re-enabling the USB recognition of the phone. Had to re-enable the developer options and reset USB debugging. Makes sense now.
HI
I'm facing this issue today, I've tried two different laptops, both have Windows 7 x64 installed. I've tried every USB port on the two machines, I've tried with three different cables, I've downloaded and installed every USB driver there is. no use!
I'm out of options here and I can't think where to look further.
any help please?

很想帮你啊 可是英文水平比较拙计
ok so now I'm guessing it is not windows, I tried on another machine with Windows Vista and got the same error.
any thoughts, anyone?
Did a factory reset for the phone
no it works!
don't know why
I just picked up this phone a couple days ago and last night tried to get the USB to work with no luck. I've tried everything I can think of. It does work in PTP mode but not MTP mode. I was able to use odin to on it though, so I was able to root it.
I've tried both in linux and on windows xp. I've never had an issue with any phone on linux and have installed/removed drivers numerous times on XP.
Tried 3 different cables, Factory reset with and without USB installed, tried pretty much everything I could find while googling similar problems (removing old registry entries, installed media player, etc)
I have adb installed on my linux box and even with debugging enabled I can't even get adb to connect to the phone.
Definitely something strange going on. Maybe I'll switch to cm10.1 to see if that makes a difference
I cant get my computer (windows 7) to connect with the phone when the phone is on, and was hoping some one might have found a fix.
This might fix it...

Here's a link with a list of things to try what you may not have tried to fix your problems.
A small number of devices I have worked on have a weird thing, that the first time I plug the cable into the computer, it connects but won't show up on the screen. unplugging the USB cable from the machine for maybe 3 seconds, and reinserting makes the connection work... go figure! :>)
Aloha and Good Luck!
