Am using Sony Ericson x10 mini pro. I installed PC companion and PC suite in my laptop. When I connect mobile to laptop I see two option 1.Charge phone 2.Connect USB. I selected Option 2 to connect my mobile to laptop to use internet from mobile.

Through PCSuite and PC Companion am not able to access internet. In PC Suite it shows mobile not connected. Kindly help me:smileysad:

try other apps there are myriad options on the market

like

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tethernow&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5.....

this works really good, you have to 1) root then install 2) Barnacle

on your computer go to

market.android.com type tether and voila

Try Menu>Settings>Wireless & Network Settings then select Tethering & portable hotspots whilst phone is connected and you should be able to select USB Tethering.

Hope it helps.

I have tried around more than 20 times by doing many experiment. But i never seen any option like "Tethering & portable hotspots" in my mobile. Thanks for your reply but i think this solution will not help me.

Oh my bad, I mis-read and didn't see "X10" Mini-pro. Assumed it was one of the 2011 phones.

Ok so that solution is not for your phone. You need an app to help you out, try either EasyTether or PDANet both available from the Android Market and offer a free trial then you can either carry on using it for free but certain functions aren't availabe or you can pay for the full app.

I have PDA Net on my X8 and X10 (altho the X10 now has Android 2.3 so can follow my first instructions). Basically you install the app on the phone and also on your PC/Laptop and as soon as you connect your USB it starts up from memory altho you can also click on the icon in your task bar on your pc screen you get the option to connect. You also need to make sure that you have USB Debugging ticked on your phone... Settings>Applications>Development>USB Debugging.

Let me know how you get on.

Thanks Sir.. I think "Settings>Applications>Development>USB Debugging" this is the real mistake which I did I think. Too happy with your response will reply back on Monday with the workaround done as I am on vacation for two days.
