[Q] USB tethering..

---

So i tried to do some USB tethering today.. and it would not work.. because I am running windows xp on my laptop....


with the OTA it states i need to run Vista, or higher..

anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks

It runs on XP just fine. Make sure you downloaded the CORRECT pc app, there are flavors for all the operating systems. I have XP running and it works fine on my system. There is a wireless app that also works with the G2 now and if all else fails you could do that, too...

Good Luck!

make sure you have HTC sync on your comp and it will work np

HTC sync.. just download it from HTC site?

should be nice and easy..

yep just install it and restart

plug the phone in and on the phone turn on usb tether

Is there a specific one for the g2.. or does any touch sync work for it?

yea there is hold on

G2 tethering

You got the OTA update that enables wifi calling and usb/wireless tethering, right?

On your G2 Go to Settings, Wireless & networks, Tethering & portable hotspots, Help.

Under this help guide, go to the website link for USB listed there.

Go to this website and choose "USB Tethering with Windows XP"

Download the INF file "tetherxp.inf"

On your G2 check the "USB tethering" option, and connect your G2 via USB cable to your computer. Instead of using windows to automatically seach for drivers, direct the wizard to the "tetherxp.inf" file.

This will also work for Windows 7 if your having problems tethering there.

Thanks, this worked like a charm. Hopefully it's better than PDANet, which seems to slow down my phone like crazy (whenever I run it Launcher Pro becomes unresponsive at times).
