Do you have an Android phone and no WiFi nearby? Here's a great solution to share the internet you use on your computer with your Android phone via USB.
This is the Reverse Tethering method, which means that you will not share the Internet from phone to computer (Tethering) but vice versa, from computer to phone (Reverse Tethering). You don't need a Wireless Card in your computer, or anything else, just a USB cable.
So let's get started
What you need:
- Rooted Android phone (Must be Rooted)
- USB cable
- AndroidTool program (Download)
- USB drivers for your device (may help)
- ADB (ADB 15 sec installer)
Linkage:
- Connect your Android phone via USB.
- Turn on „debugging“ mode (Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging > Turn On).
Work on the phone:
- Transfer the .apk file from the .zip archive you downloaded
- Install the .apk file on the phone
Work on computer:
- Launch AndroidTool.exe (previously unzip the .zip archive you downloaded)
- Click "Refresh" (1) in the upper left corner and you will see your device next to it.
- Click on "Check DNS" (2) below and select a number from the two.
- And finally "Connect".
- Now look at the phone, you will be notified of the permit, just click on "Allow" or "Grant".
Wait a little longer, a few seconds, and when in the lower-left corner of the program it says "Connected!". You did it. Now feel free to go online over the phone and enjoy! ;)
Remark:
Read the Troubleshooting (FAQ) on the official XDA post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371345
Recommendation:
Turn off the 3G connection to make sure the Internet doesn't take your credit (Settings > Mobile > Use Packet Access > Off).
Disable SuperUser notifications so that notifications do not appear non-stop on the screen (Menu > Preferences > Notifications part) - turn off the item: "Do not show a notification when an app is granted Su Permissions".
Use Opera Mini (Opera Next).
That would be it.
In the picture below, the arrow shows that the phone is connected and that you can use the Internet. To the right of the arrow, there is no WiFi or 3G icon, which means you do not spend credit or battery because WiFi is turned off;)
