Greetings! I tether my celly for use as a modem but it uses battery power. I want it to use the PC power thus not draining the battery thus happy celly thus happy me Any thoughts??
You talking about Wifi tether? Because what I do is I USB tether and no power issues.
If I understand you correctly and Ive not tried it but can you not connect the phone via USB and and then wifi "tether" simultaneously?
Remember the thread about IntShrUI ? Just run this file located on the windows folder while synced and done!
"I think" I now understand the issue...
I got curious and tether my Phone over USB for a few hours while downloading a big file, the phone eventually died, apparently it uses more power during tether than the PC USB can charge "500ma". The only thing that comes to mind is that you could use a double USB cable that would provide 1000ma or wait for USB 3.0 cable and hardware which provide such already by default. Or a AC to 5v powered USB cable? That's all that comes to mind, unless you can hardware hack a PC's USB port to provide more power lol

Makes sense to me since a recharge via the wall plug or my car (vs. a USB port on my PC) is much faster.
tethering
I use the assasins lament WiFi router while using the AC usb adapter. I understand exactly what your are referring to. I have tried to use the dual usb cable that comes with the Imagio, one side for connection and the other for power, didn't work to well.
One major concern is while using the USB tether mode the active sync needs to be disabled, thats a bugger when you want to download and then perform an install.
When the phone is connected by using the usb cable if I need anything thing on phone I need to press home key which disconnects it from the computer (may be some logical reason) then is there a way to reconnect it back to the computer via pressing some key of any app to do it.
As of now I have to physically unplug then replug the usb cable, in my old motorola this has never been a case it never disconnects the phone if i use the phone I can do all calling & receiving & still remain connected to usb.
Any solution with samsung GT-I9003 new phone?
This question is all over and i'm a lil lost. I just got my 7.7, stock P6800. I plug it into my mac and there's this cross on the batt on the device. I'm assuming it wont charge with the USB cable that came with it. So i went to buy another. Same problem.
I installed Kies on my mac and it can sync tho. I just can't seem to be able to mount it to my mac and transfer files like a USB drive.

have you tried turning off usb debugging?
also the tab won't charge with the usb connected to the pc cuz the charge voltage is too low.. you need to modify your build.prop to force usb charging or flash sk806(steve's) custom rom
yes i toggled USB debugging on/off. :S
Hello every1.
I have a problem here.
When I plug in my USB cable to my S4A and connect it to PC, I get only charging and NO USB CONNECTION.
No USB debugging, no anything but phone charging.
Anyone has an idea what of system files should I look at for that?
I've tried SG Mass Storage enabler (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mohammadag.samsungusbmassstorageenabler) and after that it stop connecting.
What does that app do and change, so what should I revert to stock state??
Please help.
Some Windows setup needs to be repaired to properly identify USB connected hardware. I have a link to fix it in my thread
