Is it possible to tether via a USB cable to a phone?

Probably, but WiFi tethering would be much easier.

USB is more secure.
I just ordered a pixel c last night. I can test with my Nexus 6P when it comes in for you
Also another reason for this is if you want to share a purchased wifi connection with another device (ex : Airplane or Hotel wifi)
Thanks. I was able to test it and it worked.

According to this article, CM dev Koushik Dutta has released a free tethering app.

Has anybody been using this with their Nexus yet?
How does it work? What does it do to CPU and Battery Temps?
I'll be trying it when I get home from work today.
The stock android and the galaxy nexus has built in tethering so I see no need for this.
Not sure why it would be of interest to the galaxy nexus forums.

Koushs method is less detectable by carriers

It's of interest to the Verizon users of the Nexus because Verizon charges money to tether. This way we can tether for free.
I was under the impression it was USB tether only, and not wifi tether. There are already plenty of free USB Tether apps out, but this should be less detectable as others have said.
To each their own. I like Wifi tether myself.

It is USB Tethering only. I don't think he'll have WIFI tether working soon in the same fashion. USB tethering is great, as long as you're using a PC. What about if you're using an Android Tablet? Honestly, this doesn't really fix any problems for most of us, except the people that want to constantly tether at home and download extreme amounts of crap on their 'unlimited' plans......
I'd have to agree with dcoy82, alot of people prefer wifi over usb, cables are a hassle
Is that possible to have a 3g/4g stick and use it with a USB cable to my phone? Has anyone tried it?

Is the USB modem supported in Linux? Most likely not, and that doesn't leave a bright future for Android.

No.. They are supported.. Maybe not all, but I've seen many tablets with android a.k.a Linux that support internet via 3G/4G dongles.. Maybe we need some application for them to run, I've no idea atm.. Cheers

What I know of is CDC (needs kernel support) or proprietary protocols like MS' rndis;
It depends on the piece of hardware though. If i was the OP, i would buy a 3G/4G usb modem WITH WIFI HOTSPOT.
Edit: Something like this but for tuna, ofc.
I found another thread on how to make every 3g dongle work with tablets so I think I can try this method. WiFi hotspot will be the best idea but costs money and the plain 3g dongles ate given for free with a contract.

Most Modems are Sim based. If you need it for your mobile phone, remove the sim from the Modem, and insert it into your Phone.
I was able to use PPPWidget (go to the market to download) and follow the related forum.
I'm using a 3g dongle like a charm

True, but then you wouldn't have a voice service, only data. But yeah, also an option if voice is not needed here.
I have the WiFi only variant and under networking options in settings, I am given the option to tether. I tried it out, and it created a hotspot which I recognized with my phone.
What is the purpose of this? To share WiFi that other devices have access to already? Maybe as a network repeater?
Would really like to know the answer.
Thank you!

INNNNteresting... the Nexus 7 2012 has that feature removed on the 3G model - much to everyone's annoyance. I wonder if this means I'll be put back in on the 2013 model...

If the Wi-Fi only model has it, I don't see why not.
Still want to figure out the purpose of this though.
I have actually been looking for something that would allow me to tether from a wireless connection.
Not that I say that stealing WiFi is good, when I go to hotels, I can often spoof my mac address to gain connectivity to the network. Wondering if I can spoof address on my nexus, then tether to my laptop, even though this could just as easily be done on my laptop.

No. It doesn't.
I really don't know what purpose it would serve on a n7 WiFi. I use it in reverse, I will create a hotspot on my LTE phone so the n7 can piggyback on that when I don't have WiFi available.
you can use it to create a LAN and transfer files between devices...at very fast speeds...

I already use superbeam, which does a great job already. Not sure what other uses it could have.

It s for the nexus 7 coming out...
Or maybe connect a TV and transfer movies from the nexus to your TV.

My hotspot worked this way two days ago but now when started then original wifi connection is lost by the nexus?
Any ideas what I may have changed?

It could be for remote wireless charging, via your Qi. A little known feature called Wi-Qi.

I have noticed this too. I remember it would maintain WiFi connection with tether enabled, now it doesn't. Not sure if its due to the JSS15Q update or that I recently flashed Bulletproof kernel.

Does anyone have a solution to being able to do this? It doesn't connect saying it can't get an ip address.
People say that it's because of the drivers put in on 4.2 (they are right it seems, I can get it to connect on a4.0 and 4.1 rom.)
Any sort of workaround other than downgrading. I'm tired of bridging it through my laptop

WiFi tethering should work.

I do it all the time and works good. Check your internet setting on the Xbox. I just have them set to auto. The NAT might not be open but it isn't strict either.

That's weird. Could I ask what rom you're running?
I can tether to everything but my Xbox. I have everything set to automatic on it.

AOKP milestone 2. you can find it on their website. It is kinda old but very stable.
4.2 rom
I haven't been able to get a tether with my nexus on any jelly bean 4.2 or higher I've just decided to stay on 4.1.2 forever since this issue doesn't seem to be a focus of the devs
Yeah, I asked one Dev and he said that if its a problem with the drivers there is nothing they can do

Here guys I've broken my USB port for sure. I had it charging when it slipped off the table and DDT'd on the charger cord. I knew it was broken before I picked it up. Now I'm stuck using a wireless charger, which is cool, but doesn't charge as fast and now I have no way of connecting it to the computer. Has anyone had any luck repairing their's or a company that will do it besides Asus. Maybe a part?

I don't know about where you can get it repaired but in the meantime use airdroid to file transfer wirelessly to your computer
