My HTC Rezound Experience

What do I need to know and do to USB tether?

Thanks!

I believe you need to have a Mobile Hotspot Data Plan with Verizon, I don't think it works with just the normal data plan. I'm on the $70 monthly for 12Gb, they also have another plan that costs $50 but for less Gb.

1.
All you need to do is connect your phone to your PC via your USB cable your phone came with and then install the drivers or whatever it is, it will usually do it by itself but if it doesn't just do it yourself.

2.
Next, on your phone it should have come up with the "Choose a connection type" screen asking what do you want to do, choose "Internet Connection Mode" which shares your phones mobile network with your PC.
You can also check the "Internet Connection Mode" box in the "Wireless & Networks" section in the settings area if need be.

3.
Wait 5-10 secs and your PC should automatically configure your internet connection and you should be tethering away!

This example is for the HTC Rezound, it also works for most modern smart phones in the exact same way. It does not work for the Samsung Nexus because Verizon has set it up that way for some stupid reason.

Let me know if you have any issues

Well after over a month of trying to get my Mobile Hotspot to work with no success I finally gave up and got Cable and Internet with Comcast.
Comcast rocks! I have download speeds over 30Mb! Very happy with that.
Still have much love my Rezound, absolutely nothing else wrong with my Rezound, I would not want or trust any other phone out there right now.

Thanks to everyone for trying to help me out! Much appreciated!
