USB tethering and data 
sharing

You can’t share your phone’s data 
connection and microSD card 
via USB at the same time. If you 
are using your USB connection to 
make your microSD card available 
to your computer, you must 
disconnect it first.

Use the USB cable that came 
with your phone to connect 
your phone to your computer.
In the Home screen, touch the 
Applications tab and select 
Settings.
Touch Wireless & networks 
and select Tethering & 
portable hotspot.
Tick USB tethering.

The phone starts sharing its 
mobile network data connection 
with your computer via the 
USB connection. An ongoing 
notification 

 is added to 

•

the status bar and notifications 
drawer.

Untick USB tethering to stop 
sharing your data connection. 
Or just disconnect the USB 
cable.
