USB Tether keeps repeating 'Checking phone status...'

  • 772

I am attempting to use the wireless capability of my Asus Memo Pad HD 7 ME173x tablet as an access point for my Ubuntu PC over USB. I installed USB Tether on both my tablet and my computer. I activate the program on the tablet and it seems to work fine. But running the program on my computer, it keeps repeating Checking phone status..., and I can't seem to get a connection.

I found the site http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1941773 and followed the steps. So indeed, I installed libssl-dev and ran ./configure, make and sudo ./run.sh. Unfortunately, USB Tether still keeps repeating Checking phone status....

    It appears that the program USB Tethering from Duck Software does work. It's just as easy as USB Tether, but it worked immediately. It enables the USB tethering option in Android, which was removed from this particular version on the Asus Memo Pad HD 7 ME173x tablet.
