Sharing the Mobile Data Connection
The Tethering & Portable Hotspot settings allows sharing the mobile data connection with a single
computer via USB tethering or Bluetooth tethering. Share the data connection with up to eight devices at
once, by turning it into a portable Wi-Fi hotspot. While the device is sharing its data connection, an icon
displays at the top of the screen and a corresponding message appears in the notification list.
Enabling USB Tethering
NOTE: USB tethering is not supported on computers running Mac OS. If the computer is running Windows
or a recent version of Linux (such as Ubuntu), follow these instructions without any special preparation. If
running a version of Windows that precedes Windows 7, or some other operating system, you may need to
prepare the computer to establish a network connection via USB.
1. Connect the device to a host computer with the USB cable.
2. The notification Charging this device via USB appears in the Notifications panel.
3. Go to Settings.
4. Touch Network & Internet.
5. Touch Hotspot & tethering.
6. Touch the USB tethering switch to enable.
The host computer is now sharing the device’s data connection.
