Pda-net on my laptop?

Hi everyone I have been reading and so far I guess the only thing that works for tethering is pda net...
Well I have a dell laptop and I plugged my phone into it... how do I get it to work?

You need to download and install the pdanet app on your laptop. Do a Google search. It should be easy to find. There are different versions depending what OS you are running.

Easy Tether also works. I have yet to try PDA Net even though I have it installed.

Nice. Is easy tether working good?

Pdanet also installs the adb drivers necessary for the g2 so you can get screen caps thru the dalvik debug monitor if you have the sdk

I have pdanet and easy tether. There both pretty simple and easy to use. Pda installs the drivers but easy tether costs less. Easy tether was the only one that recognized the adb on my phone to computer and actually allowed me to command prompt into my phone so I can root it. So they are both good id say

How can I link my SG3 to my router?

I've put my wife's SG3 on a tether plan and it's working great. What I need to do is connect her phone to my home router (which is NOT connected to the internet) so we can access our wireless printers and the internet at the same time.
Phone is stock AT&T - no root.
Can anyone help?

Couldn't you just use your phone as a router? You can connect up to 5 devices I believe when tethering is active.

The phone can act as an access point but AFAIK it can't act as a router. I need ro access my wireless printers. Right now I can access the phone but I have to switch over to my home network to access the printers. This is a real pain.

There are apps for printing. I use cloud print. Works nicely

I really appreciate your trying to help but I've already considered these options; they won't work for my situation. I need someone who can answer my original question.

Wouldn't you be able to print via laptop if everything is linked up to the phone? As far as I see it, there's no way to hook it a router that uses a ethernet cord.

USB Mass Storage mode

Has a solution been found yet to enable UMS on the Sprint GS3 ?
Does CM10 have this enabled and does it work on the Sprint GS3?

I personally went into the market for this same reason and haven't found a viable app or for that matter, solution to this problem.

I'm pretty sure XDA featured an app on the front page a while ago.
CM10 does have UMS, and it works. The only problem I had was that it would mount the phone as a CD-ROM until I toggled USB debugging (on if it was off or off if it was on), but after toggling, it worked perfectly.

Internatonal GS3 can use the EASY UMS app, but I understand that this does not work on the Sprint variant.
Thanks for posting your experience with CM10.

Try the latest version. I sent a fix to the developer cause he was taking his sweet arse time with maintaining the thread so I got sick of waiting. You may like to try my app it's self but I modded mine for the I9305 International LTE S3, so it may not even work?
Here it is worth a shot
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/43088692/SGS3Easy UMS_1.7-LTE.apk
If it doesn't work then I posted a 'How to' in the EasyUMS thread. Although the dev may have had it removed? Anyway check the main thread out. try his 1.8, try my hacked 1.7 and then if you luck out try the instructions I posted in the thread.
if worse comes to worse and they were removed then I will dig it up and post it up here for you. I can't do it for you guys cause I don't have your device and requires digging around a little bit in the root level to discover for your selves.

People have also been using samba file sharing and/or ftp servers. Both are options if you have time to wait for slower read/wrote speeds

I know for a fact that this is built into TWRP if you use that recovery. just go to mount > mount usb while the device is connected to the computer and bam faster transfers

When requiring UMS several times daily, the minor inconvenience of going into bootloader becomes a hassle.

Has anyone had success with getting USB MASS STORAGE working on the Sprint S3 ???
I just tried flashing CM10 (Stable and 10.1 M) No dice..
CM10 Stable has the option in Settings to change from MTP TO UMS, but after checking the box, it immediately unchecks and checks the MTP box.
Perhaps using a different kernel than stock would allow UMS ???
Anyone? .......Bueller??

Not sure if this is what you all are talking about but here is what I did.
Using Apex launcher, press/hold on homescreen, choose shortcut. Choose Activities. Scroll all the way down to USB settings. Click on it. It will expand to show USB settings com.sec.android.Kies.kies. Click that. What this does is put an icon on your homescreen that when you click allows you to choose between Samsung Kies or Mass Storage. Is this what you all are wanting is quick access to Mass Storage mode? Whats the difference between this and MTP? Either way, your internal and external storage shows in the PC right?
I'm on The People's ROM 3.14 BTW.

Nope. I have yet to get any Linux MTP programs to work with an Android device. Therefore, UMS is necessary to connect my phone to my computer.
Putting the ILLA in KILLA since 1985

I have had some success with gMTP on Lubuntu... Still slow as hell, so I don't consider it a victory...

Check your drivers in windows. Also make sure you are NOT using fast charge.

I bet it is the cable. I had the same issue. Go to device manager and enable "show hidden devices". Then delete every driver that has something to do with your phone. Then plug your phone in with a diffrent cable. Worked for me. Also you can try to enable or disable usb debugging.

I had a similar issue. I couldn't get the phone to be recognized on my work PC (using a cable that has always worked) or at home on Mac using Android file transfer and a different cable. What I think happened in my case is that I was connected to my PC in MTP mode then I unselected MTP so that neither MTP nor PTP was selected. That is what was aiming for (I only wanted to charge not connect). Though then when I went to plug in later as described above nothing came up. I looked all over for the USB settings to change it back to MTP but couldn't find it. I am sure it is there somewhere.
Anyways, after rebooting several times with no luck, I went nuclear (factory reset) which did the trick. I am running Shiny 4.4.2 and have had a pretty buggy go of it. I am likely switching ROMs, not that this necessarily has anything to do with it.
Good luck!

Optimus won't connect to my PC

So the other day I was tethering to my PC I disconnected to go eat cake back and now it won't connect to any computer. I really need to get this fixed. Thanks for the help in advanced.

what rom? Though, i've never had any success getting it working again without switching roms.

I'm using cm11 and it doesn't work on optimus de either

You could try reinstalling the lg drivers on the computer. Is it recognized in windows device manager or does is not come up there as well?

Yeah, I just recently had this problem as well, except I didn't get to eat cake :[. Mine does show up in device manager, but not in drives/storage. I've been having to upload everything via dropbox or adb. I was on cm11 with cwmr and switched to cmremix and also switched to the philz touch, logically I think it might be one of those or a combination of the two that did it, but I can't be sure cause I know how my phone can just be finicky sometimes.
Edit: I did try updating to the latest lg driver and that didn't help.

I'm getting this also, I use airdroid or TeamViewer instead as a workaround
