I have seen in many blogs and forums where users asking about how to
connect Samsung Android phones like Galaxy Y, Galaxy Pop, Galaxy Ace and
so on. The problem is, the steps for this is explained nowhere in the
manuals or websites. The CD that you get with the Galaxy series named
Samsung Kies is of no use on this issue. Some websites are spreading the
wrong news that you will need a software called Samsung PC Studio. PC
Studio is a just like the PC Suite for Nokia phones and is actually
developed by Nokia itself for Samsung. However, the truth is you don't
need any softwares or third party connections to connect and browse
through computer using Galaxy phones. Follow these simple steps:
Note : Only a packet data connection can be tethered, wifi networks or hotspot connections cannot be tethered

- Connect the Samsung Galaxy Series phone to the PC using the USB Connector you got with the phone.
- In the phone, go to Settings>>Wireless and networks>>Mobile networks and tick and check-box "Use packet data". This will enable packet data connection on the phone.
- Now in the phone itself, go to Settings>>Wireless and networks>>Tethering and portable hotspot and tick the check-box "USB tethering".
- Thats it!! Just wait a few seconds for the Computer to get connected automatically. Enjoy..
