I hope this is the right section and that this isn't supposed to be in the apps section but it is a question that I'm asking so this seemed like a safe bet.
I know that there is an app out there that will let me use my phone as internet by tethering. But, I have to have my phone connected to my computer. Are there any apps out there where I can use the wireless on my laptop or ipod touch to connect to the internet without my phone having to be connected to them with a cord. because I can't connect my ipod touch to my phone to use internet and it would be nice to be able to leave my phone in like my pocket and just surf the internet with no cords. Does this exist yet?
Thanks for your time reading this!

Don't have an ipod so can't tell you there, but once you start tethering on your phone it will send out the wireless signal then from there you would select the wirless connection on your pc. I would think it would be the same concept on your ipod.

LOL. I'll give you a pass this time, next time you'll get flamed.
I was wondering what you are using Wireless or USB WIRED tether for.......for a tablet or a pc at home? I was thinking about getting a EVO but might like a tablet such as the Viewsonic G and use wireless tether with my hero. Also what is your battery life like using Wireless or USB WIRED tether...thanks for your time and answers.

i bought pda net and use usb tether on my pc. that connects my ps3 also. bridged, shared network connections. ps3 is hard wired to my pc.
I been using usb tether to run my laptop when I can't get wifi. If I turn it on it doesn't get hot as quick.

yeah, i gotta be fully charged to run on 3g, itll overheat if im downloading stuff on a low signal quality 3g, especially if im charging as well...
I use it for wireless tether
I use the USB tether every day all day at work to get around our corporate firewall to be able to get on XDA and Facebook. I use "Wireless Tether" when I go on road trips to let the kids connect to my hotspot while in the car with their laptops and iPod Touches. I usually have it plugged in to either a car charger or the wall when running wireless tether because it is a huge battery drainer. I used to use EasyTether before when I was on Android 2.1 but now that I'm on FroYo 2.2 it is built in and works sweet!
Hello All.
I am looking at getting the G Tablet and was wondering if I can hook up the internet through the USB. I do not have wifi or access point in my house. My home modem has a USB or ethernet connection for connecting to the internet.
I see that it can be tethered to a phone for internet, just wondering about a home modem.
Thanks for any help.
Depending on the carrier I think you have to purchase a teather plan. Sprint told me this today when I called and asked why I couldn't USB teather, but he told me I could wifi... but there isn't one. -_-
Sorry, I meant for this to be in the Viewsonic G Tablet section.
I do not know if I was clear, but I was wondering if the G Tablet will work off of a home internet connection (hard wire) via USB?
Thanks

It might be possible, if you have an USB to Ethernet adapter and go that way. Directly via USB is more of a Windows thing.

Right now I am without Verizon service but can still hook phone up to Wi-Fi to surf get games etc. A friend of mine gave me a Android hdmi device that turns my tv into a big tablet. My problem is my tv is too far from my wireless connection to connect. So my question is can i use a hot spot from phone and wireless data connection at the same time. Is there an app for this? When i try one turns off the other. Thanks for any help.
Ok i've been trying to connect wirelessly to my laptop for more than an hour now. I do every step and when it comes to "to to usb connectivity and click on laptop name and then connect" it just hangs on connecting on the phone.
On PC it says that PC Companion will move to next step automatically when connecting is done. So, what I am doing wrong? Laptop is with Win8.

Anyone?
I take it you have wifi turned on and connected to the sane router as your computer, can I ask what you are trying to do because there are loads of app if you are trying to transfer files from phone to computer which root isn't needed

Edit: one other thing you can always use/try is a wireless adb install/push from Google play depending how good you do knowledge is
Adb install (location on computer) sdcard0 (or 1 for sd card) \ I think it is
But have a read about it because you can even get a log cat from it
Edit 2 something like this

Well you have lot of options to minimize opening of flaps.
First of course try to fix wifi network between xperia and router. Check for DHCP settings, try using WDS option if you have it.
I would also check if phone is recognised in windows networking.
there is an app on playstore that should work and prolly lot of them on pc
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smarterdroid.wififiletransfer&hl=en
You could get cheap dock and use it for sync and charging, you just change usb from charger to pc
Bluetooth transfer.
What should I check regarding DHCP? Also how can I check if my laptop is recognizing my phone?
It IS recognizing it when it's connected via usb.
I'm looking for DK26 dock but it looks like everywhere is out of stock or not delivering to my country. There are only overpriced sellers 40pounds + PP

Okay so your laptop is connected wirelessly and your phone is connected wirelessly with then same router?
If you install a adb wireless open/run as I have said in Op, enable debugging and then open adb and type adb connect "your phone's ip which the app on your phone will say"
Now does it say connected or failed if it says connected then type adb devices and you should get back your device adb code, if this works then I am wondering if your firewall software is blocking PC Companion to connect but I personally don't use PC Companion as long as adb works and a wifi transfer then that is all you need because in the incident that you need to use Senior flashtool that is done via cable
By the looks you are in the UK as well I have had a nightmare to get a Sony dk26 dock just keep trying because I bought mine Monday when they came back into stock but then by the time I had paid they had sold out again so I got one just in time

Wireless connection via pc companion is not working.

Just tried it and it also hung for a while but just leave it and for a while and it then worked.

I had it working only one day, don't know what happened now I can't pair it wirelessly with PCC.
The Sony PCC write a file in the root of SD with the name of your PC when you do the pairing, delete it and retry. Also sometimes the procedure is very long I remember with other Xperia sometime it took almost 10/15mn to get it done.
If you want a third party app there is Filepush (here on xda and play store) that transfert file over wlan but only in one direction PC > Devices.

What is the size of the file in SD with your PC name wrote by PCC?
My file is 0.00kb. I've deleted it and I will try again as soon as i come home.

Ok, I just tested under ADB and its unable to connect.
I looked on internet and it looks like its router problem, port forwarding and stuff like that, the main problem is that I don't know how to forward port in my Netgear WNR2000
So if anyone can help me i would be very grateful.
Thanks to everyone that helped me so far. It looks like if i forward port 8000 it will work.

okay so you turn adb app on and it gives you a ip address to enter e.g 192.168.8.6:5555 then you are now trying to connect on the laptop to it: adb connect 192.128.8.6:5555

Yes, and its unable to connect.
I connected it to other router and it worked, but I dont know why its not working on netgear...
Well it looks like Pc Companion may be problem, I never use official programs because they mostly do not work good, like samsung kies for example.
However I tried this program I already suggested to you:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...transfer&hl=en
The program works just like it should without problems, maybe you could give it a go to check if its working for you.
Or you may use some other app that behaves similiar, and add that network location to your windows for faster access sync.

Airdroid is even better, it works amazing.
I paired my Xperia Tablet Z in less than 5 minutes same setting as usual, then tried to pair my Xperia Z, no way!
Don't know why mobile doesn't work while tablet does...
here is my 2 cents.. looks like I am resurrecting a dead thread. I tried to connect my tab Z with wifi.. I read the instruction clearly I think it says that the computer must be connected to router wired. Anyhow I tried connecting with network configuration. On 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 I could connect it to router both with wifi.. upgraded to 4.4.2 its a no go. I get
this.
