Thanks to Mactip for the great Android Mac USB Tethering howto guide. Extra bonus, my N5 is always charging while I'm using the Mac. In the To computers using list, select iPhone USB. In the Share your connection from pop-up menu, select Ethernet (or Thunderbolt Ethernet on MacBooks using the Thunderbolt-Ethernet adapter). Enable Internet Sharing by clicking the checkbox. A quick search lead me to HoRNDIS by Joshua Wise. On your Mac, open System Preferences and click on Sharing. Great, but of course the Mac doesn't support that out of the box. ![]() Luckily Android also supports USB Tethering. Occasionally the Mac can't connect and I have to turn the N5 bluetooth on and back off. I'm using a Nexus 5 lately so I've been using the N5 on the WiFi and then tethering to my Mac over bluetooth. After this launch PdaNet on the phone and enable USB Tether. On the Mac click on the PdaNet menu bar icon and select 'Install PdaNet to Phone' then wait for it to complete. Now you need to add PdaNet to your phone side. This week I'm staying where they outsource the WiFi to Tomizone, which is fine, but they only let you use one device at a time, even though I've paid $60 for my 9 days. On your phone go to Settings->Applications->Development and check 'USB Debugging'. ![]() ![]() Mainly we've been staying at hotels where we have some sort of status, Hyatt, Hilton, Sheraton, etc., and the WiFi has been free. I've been traveling around Australia for over a month now.
