Okay so I'm connected to neighbors wifi on my note 2 but have limited access on all of windows PCs. I think they restricted me or something? Any way my phone works so how do I share my phones WiFi Internet connection with my PC?
Idk if they changed the band but I have n adapters on my PCs idk why it still works on my phone.

My wife has the Sprint version of the HTC Snap with the stock Windows Standard 6.1 ROM. I'm trying to setup Internet Connection Sharing so that she can tether to her laptop using a USB cable.
I don't think this phone has WiFi, so I cannot use a WiFi Router.
When I go into ICS, select Connect, and plug in the cable to the laptop, it seems to connect to the laptop, but displays Waiting for Network on the phone. The laptop cannot conenct to the Internet. Did Sprint do something to disable ICS? The phone has a good signal and has no issues connecting to the Internet by itself.
Has anyone gotten this to work on the Sprint network?
Hey I want to create an adhoc connection to allow my S3 to use wifi connection from my laptop?
I tried creating one but the S3 wouldn't find it on WPA and no security.
This is because my S3 has very slow speed and low connection to my routher which is two floors below me. My laptop and iPad and stuff can connect fine but not the S3. I tried the *#0011# trick but to no avail. If I try a factory reset how do I backup everything?
But how can I have my S3 connect to my Laptop for Internet, is this possible?
yea the s3 cannot see the ad hoc network its not in our wifi profile.
Last time i checked, i don't recall typical WiFi chips being able to function as a WiFi access point... could be wrong, though.
There are some apps that claim to enable ad-hoc networks on certain phones. Not sure if they are compatible with our phones our not.
If you're using windows 7, you can try connectify. It'll create a real wifi ap instead of just ad-hoc, also simultaneously allowing the computer to connect to your router's wifi.
Use Connectify
yo can use connectify and make your wirless adapter to an access point then this application could share your internet connection via this virtual access point

I am also have the same problem like you
This may have been asked before. I am curious if it is possible to connect to an internet connection sharing device (laptop, desktop), and use that particular connection for internet based access on a samsung galaxy S3. I know that you can reverse tether to allow the PC to connect to the phone for internet. That's not what I'm looking for. I have a laptop that I want to be able to connect to from the phone to the WIFI connection, and access the internet via the shared LAN connection that I have on the laptop.

Internet Connection Sharing on your Wifi, set it to Ad-Hoc so it broadcasts a signal. My laptop has Intel MyFi so that part's done automatically (I can be both connected wirelessly and share my connection) but setting it this way should work.

Doesn't show up on the phone. Is there something I need to do to allow it to see ad-hoc networks?
I just bought a chromecast and I'm trying to figure out if I can get my GNexus to host the hotspot and be the chromecast remote.
In more detail:
I do not have internet from a cable/satellite company. The only internet connection I have is through my cellphone hotspot.
Chromecast will be connected to the internet through my cellphone hotspot (SSID: AndroidAP).
When my cellphone has the hotspot running it does not show up on its own network (AndroidAP).
I need the phone to show up on the network (AndroidAP) so that I can see the chromcast and use the phone as a remote.
Is this even possible?
Try Foxfi?

Honestly don't think this is possible.
It would be like trying to connect the phone to it's own Wi-Fi hotspot that it created?
My desktop has a hard connection to my network. Will I still be able to use Link To Windows?
I tried this on my Note 8 with the Windows My Phone software and I could never get it to work.
Thanks in advance,

Wifi only. Most modems have wifi.
You just have to be in the same network. My PC is connected to my network by Ethernet cable and doesn't have a WiFi card. It connects perfectly, including being able to show my phone screen
My Note 8 worked too like this.
i just tested this and I was able to use my pc thats on a wired connection. you have to launch/run an app called "your phone" and give your microsoft account permissions on your note 10.
this absolutely works with wired connections.
