hi guys,
i'm on the cm9 rom now and would like to make use of the "reverse tethering" app to leech my fast desktop connection via USB, so that i can sync files faster through dropbox.
to do that, i need to have USB tethering enabled on HP touchpad. would this be possible?
anyone?

If your desktop is connected via Ethernet but has wireless capabilities there is an app for PC's called connectify that can make your PC a wireless hotspot .

What exactly is your setup is your desktop connected by Ethernet to a wireless router, how is the tablet connected.
what is that you are trying to achieve, the more info you can give the easier it will be for me to replicate and hopefully come up with an answer.
regards
my hp touchpad can connect via wifi, but it's a lot slower than a wired connection. i want to try achieving FULL/near full speed download on my hp touchpad, by reverse tethering to the desktop's ethernet connection.
the desktop is connected to the wireless router through a powerline adapter, i.e. wired ethernet and is achieving full speed on its own.
One thing to note is that you'll not notice too big of a speed boost if you are connecting to the internet. The reason being, your ISP has a throughput speed of say 25 MBits a sec down and 5 up (In a hypothetical situation). Your wireless is usually up to 54 (on wireless G), and wired is either 10/100/1000 MBits. However, you are still throttled by your ISP, who runs at 25. So tethering via USB won't net you faster speeds to Dropbox, but it might for local network related things, like streaming from a local PC, transferring files, RDP, etc.
Just a thought to share, hopefully it helps.
Oh, and running through the power line like that is a messy way to do it. Home power is noisy and slows down your network speeds. Just sayin', I hope I don't offend.

I've always wanted to do that, thanks for telling about connectify

bump
This is the thread that keeps coming up in google searches, and since it was never answered, figured its time for a bump.
I´m in a similar situation atm, Ive got no access to data or wifi as Im traveling abroad.
Cyber cafes abound, and id love to use this app as well, but.. i get the same error.
Im surprised as id assumed CM would have all such features builtin. No big that it doesnt, im just not sure how to add it.
Any help?
(and yes, ive tried to get the other method working, but having trouble getting adb to detect the tablet, that method works on my phone, but id prefer a method that fakes 3g, since that other method doesnt work with many apps)
The problem is the to connect anything to the TP USB connector and get it to work needs power injected into the interface (hence the need for Y cables when using an OTG cable). This ends up as so complicated, that most give up and decide to use WiFi tethering. Also, I am not sure anyone has found a way to get the necessary drivers into the kernel.
Hello folks,
As a part of idiotic ""data security"" my organization decided to block all USB connection from and to mobile devices.
Till recently, usb PTP mode (camera) connection worked and now they've blocked it as well.
The question is, whether there is a way to change the GS3 ports which it uses for usb connection so the computer will recognize it as something different then media device or camera but still will let me move photos and files from and to the computer ?
Thank you so much in advance.
YA.
Sorry but you're posting on the wrong section. You should post your questions at the q&a section but I think I can solve your problem. Just use airdroid from play store or use Kies air. But for me the best and safest way is to use Dropbox. Even though I'm not a pro experienced hacker but I know there is no way to change the function of the USB cable. Try Google it and there's no other answer

Do I need to have a wi-fi adapter on my PC to use the ChromeCast extension with the chromecast? Or is a wired connection enough? Please.. Need a quick answer.
Also.. Was wondering, how do I check my ChromeCasts firmware version, I haven't connected it to the internet yet, but I want to check to make sure I can update it. Thx.
I tried plugging it up to the tv, and it only says I need to setup first, should I do that? Or not take the risk
You need a wireless device to set it up like a phone or laptop. Once setup you can cast from your wired pc if it's connected to one of the Ethernet ports on your wireless router.

I am looking for a very specific app that I could be able to plug in a gamepad via USB-OTG and remotely use it on a PC. I found apps like Monect but they only work with built in touch controls and don't allow external devices. If anyone knows a solution, I would be more than glad to hear it

Sorry to answer with a question but wouldn't it be simpler to plug your game pad directly to your computer? Or maybe to use a wireless game pad connected to your PC?
What's the point of connecting a game pad to your phone and not directly to your computer? Adding some extra latency to make a game harder to play?
Sorry I'm very curious why
Well my gamepad is a cheap fake one that is hardly ever detected without third party apps but the reason is that I have an extremely short cable and I want to be able to use Steam's big screen on my TV with HDMI and play with a gamepad
Anyone ?
I would love to take adavanteage of the Note digitizer and be able to draw in pc apps or sign documents.
Is it possible; i wish through drivers; to to use the Galaxy notes as an input device?
Maybe the solution should be based in remote connection from the phone and use the digitizer as a mouse on the pc desktop?
Alternatives?

I've been using this app for years now and it's been great: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hungrybolo.remotemouseandroid&hl=en&gl=US
Maybe it can be useful to draw in PC programs with the mouse but I just use it to control my computer from bed

My original desire was to avoid software on both sides (client/server) but it seems that there is not alternatives.
It is a pity that Samsung has not add a driver for that on its drivers package
