To share your phone’s
data connection via
USB
If your computer is running
Windows 7 or a recent distribution
2
3
of some flavours of Linux (such
as Ubuntu), you typically don’t
need to prepare your computer
for tethering. But if you’re running
an earlier version of Windows
or another operating system,
you may need to prepare your
computer to establish a network
connection via USB. For the most
current information about which
operating systems support USB
tethering and how to configure

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.
