Tethering can be done in three ways, via USB, via Wi-fi or via Bluetooth. USB Tethering is nice but why would you want to use a USB cable when you can tether wirelessly. Wi-fi tethering is again good but not economical, it drains the battery of your phone quickly. Jumbabet promo codes. The best way to wirelessly tether your desktop using your phone is using Bluetooth Tethering.

Here’s a simple guide for those who have an Android phone and want to share their phone’s Internet Connection with their Mac using Bluetooth Tethering.

You need to first pair your phone with your Mac using Bluetooth. Enable Bluetooth on both the Mac and your Android phone. Open System Preferences, click on Bluetooth and “Setup New Device”. Once paired, you will see the phone paired in the list of Bluetooth devices connected to your Mac.

Now, pick up your phone and go to Settings, in Wireless & Networks section, click on the “More…” and then tap on “Tethering & portable hotspot“. You will see there an option for Bluetooth Tethering, you just need to check that option. Free bonus games.

Just click on the Bluetooth icon, select the device you want to connect with and then click on “Connect to Network“.

You can now use your phone’s internet on your Mac.

CatalinaThe process of tethering allows you to connect your computer to the internet via your phone's 3G mobile connection. This is a life saver if you are working in a location where you don't have access to other internet connections. 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. I prefer to plug in directly because Wi-Fi uses up battery power on the phone (and the laptop if unplugged) very quickly. Unfortunately, I have an Android phone and a Mac computer. 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. Nevertheless I have found a way to do it with OS X, read on for more information.Warning: Always check your network tariff before doing this. You could be charged extra by your phone network if internet data is not included in your mobile price plan.
I've tested this with the following setup:
  • LG Optimus One (LG-P500) running Android 2.2 (FroYo) on the Three UK network.
  • Apple MacBook Pro running Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.5).

With Android 2.2 and newer you have a few other options that I chose to avoid:
  • Setting your phone to act as a WiFi hotspot - Works with all WiFi-enabled computers regardless of OS but slower than USB and a massive waste of battery power.
  • Other ways of USB tethering – Officially supported on Windows and Linux but not OS X.

  • The solution

I was very close to paying (digital) cold hard cash for an App so that I could USB tether with my Mac computer but then I discovered a surprisingly simple way round it:
  1. Connect your phone to the Mac with USB cable (mine works regardless of whether USB storage or USB tethering is selected in Android, although other phones could be different).
  2. Go to Network Preferences in OS X (Apple Menu > System Preferences.. > Network).
  3. If it hasn't been added automatically, click the “+” button to add a new network interface. Select “LG Android USB Device”.
  4. Leave the Telephone Number, Account Name and Password fields blank.Select the new interface and click “Advanced..”
  5. Select the following:Vendor: Generic(It's possible that your phone manufacturer appears in the Vendor list but LG doesn't)Model: GPRS (GSM/3G)APN: three.co.uk(If you're on a different network try looking this up in: Android Settings > Wireless & network settings > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names.)
  6. Click OK, then Apply, then Connect and hopefully you'll be able to connect to the internet via your mobile network.

Note: ticking 'Show modem status in menu bar' is very useful if you're using this feature a lot. Tenorshare iphone data recovery.
