With Android 2.2 and newer you have a few other options that I chose to avoid:
LG Optimus One (LG-P500) running Android 2.2 (FroYo) on the Three UK network.Īpple MacBook Pro running Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.5).I've tested this with the following setup: You could be charged extra by your phone network if internet data is not included in your mobile price plan. Warning: Always check your network tariff before doing this. Nevertheless I have found a way to do it with OS X, read on for more information.
The official Android website says that you can use a USB cable for tethering with computers running Windows or Linux but not with Mac OS X. Unfortunately, I have an Android phone and a Mac computer. I prefer to plug in directly because Wi-Fi uses up battery power on the phone (and the laptop if unplugged) very quickly. Broadly speaking, there are two methods of tethering: plugging the phone directly into your computer via USB, or setting up the phone as a mini Wi-Fi hotspot. This is a life saver if you are working in a location where you don't have access to other internet connections. The process of tethering allows you to connect your computer to the internet via your phone's 3G mobile connection.
