No option to use the XPERIA as a modem?

Warrenhb — Mon, 07 May 2012 09:52:08 GMT

I previously owned a SONY ERICSSON SATIO and often used it as a modem. Using PC companion how come can I not see the option to connect to the internet using my new phone (XPERIA S). Is this a software issue or can this phone not be used as a modem?

It's there under settings / wireless & networking / tethering

(sorry to clarify these settings are on the phone, not on PC companion)

Thanks for the response. How do I connect once the "Tethering" option is selected?

Sorry I've never used it, so you'll have to wait for someone with more knowledge than myself. :smileyblush:

You actually cannot use it as a modem .. but you can share your internet on pc through mobile's internet connection

Either through wifi or Usb cable

settings > wireless and networks > tethering and hotspots >

Usb tethering > via usb

Portable wifi hotspot > wirelessly

Bluetooth teethering > via bluetooth

Make sure you've switched on Mobile Data traffic

You can't create a diial up connection, but you can share the internet connection .

Means you can run internet on your PC using your phone.

Just follow the correct answer above
