Hey all, is it possible to use my Galaxy S and it's USB cable to connect directly to xbox live? It's one of them gay ol' Xbox's that doesn't have wifi.
No, not with usb, but you could use the wifi tethering on your galaxy and get an ethernet wireless bridge for your xbox. I've done that with a mifi so galaxy tethering should work

I've actually used the Wifi tethering app for root users and just enabled that and was able to play with it nothing else required. Your phone does get hot and make sure you have a fast strong connection

Has anyone used the wifi tether app to connect to a Wii console for network
access? I can connect to laptops fine and use the internet, but am unsucessful using my Hero to connect the Wii. Any suggestions? TIA
I don't know if the wii supports ad-hoc networks....

Wii doesn't support Ad-Hoc
The closest people have gotten as far as I know is
IS to a Router that rebroadcasts.
But I am not sure anyone has gotten it working 100 percent.
I gave up on getting mine to hook up.
For some odd reason my captivate won't connect to my iphones wireless tether. I can connect every single other device to my iphone but my beautiful captivate won't connect any ideas???

I dont know what kind of wireless tether you're attempting with the iphone, but Android will not connect to an ad-hoc wireless connection. It must be an access point connection.
Well I don't believe its ad hoc....I don't know if some one on here is familiar with MyWi...that's the app I'm using to tether the iphone.

Anyone successfully tether their N1 to an Xbox360?
My Xbox does not have wifi else it would easier.
I tried USB tether but the Xbox did not want to see it but I may have missed something.
No normal internet at my house either as I use the N1. The laptop connects to it fine.
What you do is teather to your laptop, then teather that to your xbox via ethernet cable and then in network connections, bridge the ethernet adapter to your teathered phone connection. So essentially it will go like this. Internet -> phone -> laptop -> xbox!

Ahhhhhhh, I did not think of that.
Thanks, I'll give it a try.
3g isn't fast enough to load all your games properly I don't think so why bother?

I normally get about 100kb per sec download rates with the computer with it spiking up to 500 from time to time.
I think it will do it.
I believe it is possible for a laptop to get internet access from a tab though the USB tether, Is it possible for it to be reversed?
Recently I broke the wifi trying to get it into ad-hoc mode, so I can't use the wifi to connect to the internet, marketplace, etc.
Is there a way for me to get a connection from my laptop to the tab?
Im on FROYO 2.2
Thanks,

Do you mean use your laptop as the wifi access point? In that case you will have to replace the default wpa_supplicant file. Search for the thread here....
Not as a wireless access point. I believe normally, you use the USB cable to get the internet on your computer from your Tab Data plan (Correct me if I am wrong)
So, I was wondering if you could use the internet connection from your laptop and forward it to your tab through the USB cable.
I use my tab as a wireless access point several times already-mostly at work because of network restrictions at the office.(Settings/wireless and networks/Tehtering and portable hotspots)
I don't know if you can use USB tethering from laptop to tab-probably not.....
Hi,
You can get a form.of reverse tethering over WiFi by using an application called Connectify (works best on Windows 7). Install Connectify, tell it which connection you want to share, then connect to the created hotbot on the Tab.
Obviously, if your Wifi is properly broken this isn't particularly useful, but Im not aware of any way that the USB interface could be used for tethering in that direction.
Hope this helps...

Yed as agc93 said, connectify shares your pc internet connection through wifi. You need to setup static ip address in the galaxy though.
Good luck

Hello fellow galaxy mini lovers...
There is a satellite tv service offered via the 3G network of my service provider which allows me to view live sports events via My phone browser for a reasonable fee of course e.g euros .. Football etc
What am looking for is for a way to mirror whats being displayed on my phone to a pc or tv via the usb cable i hv if its possible... Wifi too aint bad but i hv a feeling a usb connection will offer better quality viewing than a wifi connection since am only.interested in live sporting events.... Any ideas on how i can pull this off with best quality in mind ?

The mini does not have hdmi out.. so you can't watch videos from your mini on your tv by just connecting a cable..
