About Easy USB Tethering
When the device is USB plugged, Easy USB Tethering automatically opens up the Settings' page "Tethering and portable hotspot", so you can activate the tethering service with just one tap. You can get rid of the pop-up using the back button.
Features:
- activated when USB plugged to a device that needs data connection and not in the case of a mere battery charger;
- very small amount of memory required in the target device (about 50KB);
- open-source (GPLv3), so you can build your own APK with the source code at https://github.com/double-m/easy-usb-tethering (using both Gradle and Maven);
- no advertisements.

All it does is open the Wi-Fi app already on the phone, I can do that myself.

Wanted to turn my phone into usb storage do I could transport my ps4 save games to my buddies house. Not recognized by the system but other than that it is a stable app that does stuff.

Worked *exactly* as advertised on my Galaxy Note 5 running Android Lollipop 5.1.1. Very convenient as my provider, T-Mobile, only provided a shortcut straight to the WiFi tethering settings. This app takes me right where I need to be to activate USB tethering, without the need to go into settings and select the right system menu manually.

This app does exactly one thing, and it does it well: It takes you to the tethering settings screen automatically when you connect a data USB cable. No special permissions required, no ads, free, and the logo is even nicely done. Thanks for making this!

I wanted an app that automatically turns on USB tethering. This app only pops up the setting. But it is the best out there.
