The other day I was in a rather peculiar situation. I needed to connect my desktop computer to the internet using my phones mobile data to do something urgent but the poor reception I was getting from my carrier on my Android phone was making the USB Tethering an effort in futility.

Connect your Android smartphone to your Windows PC using a USB cable Use a USB cable to connect your Android smartphone to your Windows PC. If you still have it, it's preferable that you use the original USB cable that you received with your Android smartphone. For this method, you need a wireless external hard drive that can share data over WiFi, or even a wireless router that supports USB data sharing. You can then connect your Android phone or tablet to the shared WiFi network and stream data from the external drive to the device.

So that got me thinking. I had a Windows Phone lying around that which always has very good reception. However, as you may or may not know is that this platform only supports tethering over Wi-Fi Hotspot.

This was no good for me as my Desktop has no Wi-Fi adapter. But what if I tethered my Android Phone to a Wi-Fi hotspot created by the Windows phone? Would it possible then to share this hotspot over USB tethering to the desktop?

What I was essentially proposing here is 'USB tethering a Hotspot' or even more interesting, to use my Android Phone as a Wi-Fi adapter for my computer. It didn't make much sense to me but then again it didn't hurt to try. Vstorrent fl studio 20.

As it turned out later, my proposition was not only valid but also, as odd as it may sound, the fastest USB tethering connection I've ever had the pleasure of using.

USB Tether a Wi-Fi Network or Hotspot

1. First disable your mobile data if it's on. We don't want to tether our mobile data do we?

2. Next, connect your Android phone to an available Wi-Fi network or hotspot. To do that go to:

3. After it has connected to a Wi-Fi network, take your USB cable and connect your phone to your computer using it.

4. When you get prompted for a USB mode (Connect as), select USB Tethering.

If this option is not available here check for it in your Android Settings under Mobile Network Settings (Tethering & portable hotspot) and enable it.

5. Android should then automatically tether the Wi-Fi connection to your computer.

NOTE

• Some carriers disable tethering (or requires you to pay for it separately) so it may not be available in every phone.
• This may not work on older Android versions (particularly Gingerbread [2.3] which I've tested). I've only tested this on a device running Android 6.0 (Marshmallow).

It may not be that often, but there will be times when you need to mirror or cast your Android screen to your computer. There may be several reasons for this like wanting to record your screen, play android games on your PC, watch movies or videos on a bigger screen, or even giving a presentation of an app or a document directly from your Android device.

No matter what the reason is, it is relatively easy to cast your Android screen to PC regardless of whether your Android device is rooted or not. Let's check those out.

Before we begin

None of the screen mirroring apps will let you play high-end motion games on your computer screen. Doesn't matter whether it works on USB or Wi-Fi. The only thing that worked was chromecast. But for basic screencasting needs like presentation or app demo, these apps should work fine.

Cast Android Screen to PC

1. Connect App

Works with: Wi-Fi

Since the August 2016 Anniversary Update, Windows 10 offers a native way to mirror your Android screen to Windows PC. Kind of like how you connect your Android with chromecast on your TV.

Requirement

• A PC running Windows 10 Aniversary update
• An Android device that supports Miracast

How it works: Just search for and launch the 'Connect' app from Windows 10 start menu. Now, bring down the notification center on your Android device and select the option 'Cast.' In some devices, you can find it in Settings > Display > Cast. You will see a list of all the devices that you can cast your Android device. In case, you don't, tap on three vertical dots at the top right and select Enable Wireless Display option. Next, select your PC from the list, and you are good to go.

Pros: You don't need to install any third-party software.

Cons: Only available on computers running Windows 10 Aniversary update. And in our testing, most Android phones do not support Miracast, since it's direct competition to Google Chromecast. Also, even if you get it working, you won't be able to control your Android phone from your PC.

Bottom Line: Of course, the Connect app in Windows 10 is pretty limited, and doesn't work for all Android devices. However, if you are simply looking to watch some movies, pictures or give presentations, then the built-in Connect app in Windows 10 is not bad. However, if you need an option to mirror your Android Screen to another Android device, check out this list.

2. LetsView

Works with: Wi-Fi

LetsView is designed to work on Windows and can easily cast Android as well as iOS devices. Unrar zip file.

However, it automatically detects the server running on your PC. Simply allow the connection on your phone and it's good to go. The latency is almost negligible that means you can easily stream content to the PC.

Pros: Supports Android and iOS devices, offers almost no latency during casting, record your screen, no watermark, 4k support.

Cons: Doesn't work without Wi-Fi.

Bottom Line: If you want a one-tap solution for casting Android or iOS screen to your PC over Wi-Fi then it is worth it.

Bottom Line: Decent screencasting app with no watermark and many useful features. Still, it comes with a price and that price is too high, so we can't recommend this app. But we do use the free version.
