My mom gave me her laptop yesterday, and told me to download easy tether (a app for tethering) so I did and I downloaded what was needed, debugged it, the USB is enabled and the tethering is active so then it told me that five of the drivers wasn’t downloaded so I went back to the website and downloaded more stuff and it told me to make a wifi network on my phone and I did, and I thought it connected, because it said so, but I clicked on it and it said “No internet access” I tryed to go to google, but the T-mobile (My mobile provider) website popped up saying “Add Smartphone Mobile Hotspot” and it’s $14.99 per month my phone bill is already high it was $114 last time (and I have a unlimited account!) I’m just wondering are there any other apps that are easy to use for tethering!? Or should I just ask if I could get the mobile hotspot?
Using a USB cable “tethering” can be done. The literal meaning of the word “Tethering” is tie together using a rope. The following is from internet.
Use/Tether Android Smartphone as a Modem
“Use the USB cable that came with your phone to connect your phone to yourcomputer. Press Home , press Menu , and touch Settings to open the Settings application. Touch Wireless & networks > Tethering & portable hotspot. Check USB tethering.The phone starts sharing its mobile network data connection with your computer, via USB connection. An ongoing notification is added to the Status bar and Notifications panel. Uncheck USB tethering to stop sharing your data connection. Or justdisconnect the USB cable.”
Yes! I am actually using the wifi hotspot right now, no hidden costs and works great. Download ‘Fox Fi’ from the app store. Works Fantastic. Good luck (:
