Why cant I usb tether my dx to my pc?

I am wondering why I can't usb tether my dx to my pc. I was told today by VZW CS reps that I may only use wifi hotspot to accomplish this, but I wish to do so using USB cable. There is lots of info in Settings how to do this, I even downloaded the file for XP. Since there is info on my phone how to do it, and even a checkbox under Settings > Wireless & networks >tethering &mobile hotspot > usb tethering, can someone explain to me why I cannot usb tether my dx to my pc? Thanks.

Thanks guys. I wanted to try out the usb tetherimg, but I'll give the wifi hotspot a workout instead. I just didn't understand why VZW didn't let me do this via usb cable, my preferred option.Fair Point has a $9.99 dsl offer, and I wanted to try out tethering, to see how well it might work for me, before I sign up for 6 mos of dsl. 20 bucks for 2gb seems over the top pricey tho.

Im confused, what does Fair Point deal have to do with USB tethering?  it uses the phones data connection no matter if you use USB or Hotspot, the only diffrence is that one has to be plugged into PC USB to use and the other connects wirelessly through wifi card..  Neither goes through another pervider.

  • Ipad 3 USB tether to my Galaxy SIII?

    If I buy the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit (MC531ZM/A) will I be able to USB tether my ipad 3 to my Galaxy SIII to get to the net?  If not, is there any adapter that will allow this connection?
    I have the Sprint unlimited plan, but the wireless hotspot data is not unlimited.  I can connect to my phone using the wireless hotspot feature, but I have limited data via the hotspot, while I have unlimited data via a USB tether, so that is why I want to utilize the USB tether.

    No.

  • USB tether using wifi connection on Iphone

    Why cant I create a playlist for my music/song videos? Continuous play is also not possible in the video app on the phone!!!! previously, prior to IOS 6, it was possible to have both music videos & songs mixed in the same playlist in the music app

    I am back with an update. I turned off Match on both the ipad and the iphone 5. By doing so I was able to sync my Iphone and ipad to itunes and store the music on my devices rather than the slow streaming.  So far this has fixed my problems with the iphone I have all my music, playlist, most of the album art and so on.  But the ipad is a different story.  I have the music and artist but not one playlist  I am sure Apple will have an upgrade soon that will address these issues they are usually very good about this. 
    Now have any of you experienced another problem that has existed as long as I have used faces in Aperture.
    I have over 200 faces and they are organized a-z problem is I have this going on A-Z folowed by a few that start over A-Z followed by another few A-Z and again a 4th time A-Z.  Imagine how difficult it is while I am showing someone the great features of my iphone, ipad and imac.  Which I do talk highly of all the time.  But how do I explain that even though their name starts with a or b or what ever they are not important enough to me to be in the first list of A-Z or even the 2nd or 3rd list of A-Z someohow they are in the 4th section of the list!!!!
    I have managed to get the Imac to fix this but for some reason the IOS devices do not.   Any ideas?
    Thanks Al

  • How to develop/print a report wider than 8.5 inches, why cant we landscape

    Hi All Gurus,
    I am new to Oracle Reports. I have a problem, I have a report that has rows longer than normal A4, A5, A6 paper width, so report lines either tend to go on next page or on next line of the same page. Also Oracle Report is not allowing me to print report in landscape mode, why this limitation ? I am wondering, cuz in older character based tools (Foxpro, Informix-4GL), we could easily print wider reports on a line printer which always had a capacity of 132 characters (and in condensed mode, 224 characters). So only small (and very simple) reports were printed on regular paper of 80 characters (8.5 inches wide), but for almost all real use reports we were able to use 132 (224 in condensed) characters paper.
    How can we do this ith Oracle GUI report builder?. Why are we limited to 80 character paper size? why cant we print report in landscape mode? It is not, in any case, allowing me columns that go beyond 80 characters (8.5 inches) on a line. If this is an Oracle limitation, I would say Oracle Reports cannot be used for actual reporting, it is just a fancy with GUI and colors!!!!!
    Can anybody answer my questions? please tell me an immediate solution.
    Thanks in Advance

    You can go to Object Navigator, under Layout Model, click the Main Section icon to open the property, change to Width from 8.5 to 11 and Height from 11 to 8.5. Do the same for Header/Trailer Sections if needed.
    At report printing, choose Landscape Orientation.
