  1. Hello. I have a problem with my new Techno M3 phone. I followed the procedure above for USB Tethering Connection. However, on my phone, when I connect the USB cable, the USB tethering option is greyed out and says 'USB not connected' although the USB is connected. Then I get the message saying USB charge only. Please what should I do so I can connect my phone to my laptop?

    1. First switch off and On. Then when you connect your USB to your phone don't TURN ON USB STORAGE. Just back it and go to settings

    1. Try and Switch off the phone and On it back if it will solve the problem. And when you want to connect to another wifi did you insert the password bcos most of the wireless are password protected.

  7. Similarly that a Windows overhaul can give your PC the feared 'blue screen of death' just to be altered the following day by a Samsung redesign, programming upgrades can do similarly astounding things for your handset from adding new components to settling bugs. Anroid Pc Suit
