You can share your phone’s mobile data connection with a single computer via a USB
cable: USB tethering. You can also share your phone’s data connection with up to
eight devices at once, by turning your phone into a portable Wi-Fi hotspot. (Not all
carriers and phones support these features.)
When your phone is sharing its data connection, an icon appears in the Status bar and
as an ongoing notification in the Notifications panel (see “Managing notifications” on
page 29).
For the latest information about tethering and portable hotspots, including supported
operating systems and other details, visit android.com/tether.
Share your phone’s data connection via USB
If your computer is running Windows 7 or a recent distribution of some flavors of
Linux (such as Ubuntu), you typically don’t need to prepare your computer for
tethering. But if you’re running an earlier version of Windows or another operating
system, you may need to prepare your computer to establish a network connection via
USB. For the most current information about which operating systems support USB
tethering and how to configure them, visit android.com/tether.
You can’t share your phone’s data connection and USB storage or SD card (depending
on your phone) via USB at the same time. If you are using your USB connection to
copy files to or from your computer, you must disconnect first. See “Connecting to a
computer via USB” on page 67.
1 Use the USB cable that came with your phone to connect your phone to your
computer.
2 Press Home , press Menu , and touch Settings to open the Settings
application.
3 Touch Wireless & networks > Tethering & portable hotspot.
4 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.
5 Uncheck USB tethering to stop sharing your data connection. Or just
disconnect the USB cable.
