Hello,

Today I will show you how to enable USB tethering in your Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini phone. USB Tethering is useful if you want to use your mobile internet on your desktop PC / Laptop. Announced in 2010 year Sony Ericsson Xperia devices and W8 Walkman phone support fast HSPA 900 / 2100 MHz network and they has build in fast internet modem (download up to 7,2 mbps, upload up to 2 mbps). Unfortunately there is no USB Tethering option in stock Android 1.6 Donut or Android 2.1 Eclair operating system. Let's change that

1. Download and install this program on your PC / Laptop:  easytether.zip   5.48MB   119 downloads (Windows version, use Google to find Linux or Mac OS version).

3. Enable USB Debugging in your smartphone: Menu => Settings => Applications => Development => USB Debugging.
