whoops my bad its 1020. mixed up 1080 (tv resolution lol) but yeah internet sharing is definitely not a problem.

sharing internet using USB cable is a function called "tethering"

to answer your questions : phone firmware updated to the max, windows updated to the max. auto update already set but also manually force update to check updates. USB port is healthy. OS healthy. sharing internet via bluetooth wifiu?tethering is a different technology but I did test out internet sharing (phone hotspot) which works as expected on my laptop which is on windows 8.1

if you wanna say my phone/usb cable/pc/OS/firmware got prob, i do IT at my workplace so i do have access to many various devices/PCs. when internet goes down, i do help my colleagues tether their phones to their PCs if really needed to and what i found was ANDROID phones can tether to windows 8.1 pcs with no issue. but when I wanna do the same? FAIL my windows phone cant do that, how embarrassing is it to be an IT guy using a high end windows phone but cant even do tethering when your colleagues phone which cost 1/3 or 1/2  of my phone can do something mine cant?

you can try googling "tethering windows phone", you will find no real results where you can see people asking on how to tether but people respond ignorantly by teaching them to use internet sharing (hotspot/wifi/bluetooth). you can even find some people even  suggesting that this feature be added in on windows phones.

retarded level max. windows phone OS? no thanks.

The old Nokia phones and Symbian have this feature of sharing internet connection through USB. But is it more convenient to use the Internet sharing function without any cables at all? It is still called tethering whether with or without a cable.

For wired connection or USB tethering, You need to share Internet to an android device & connect that android device to your PC.

As of now, Windows Phone 8 or 8.1 doesn't support USB sharing.

I can see the need for a USB tethering if the PC does not have a wifi card though. Hopefully future Windows 10 for mobile will support this feature and it will be few weeks away before Microsoft unleashes the preview.

Seems like WP8/8.1 does not have this feature, WP7.8 yes. And yes we can share our phone internet to Bluetooth if your PC has Bluetooth.

Like wise the problem you are facing is just a minimal function, it might be very critical to you because it actually made you lose face I guess? lol, anyway most big companies has at least 2 ISP for Business & Routine management. On WP we can connect with VPN/Workplace Account app for company unlike the other OS which have to rely on 3rd party app, but I would say not many company out there has implemented a full working eco system with Windows Phone yet.

ps: you can do something like taking low light/ultra clear picture/4k video with your phone that any low end android cant do to gain back your face

@exsea, well, as an IT guy you can always carry a small usb wifi adapter <- wifi sharing -> windows phone = problem solved    you will look more pro ~ no need kabel 

evilpuppy Your Lumia 1520 still on Black firmware ?

already denim , camera loading is way faster.

I'm waiting for windows 10 as well, then I'll buy it.

One other thing I would like MS to bring back is Nokia alarm used to work even while the phone is turned off.

Maybe is not supported by WindowsOS but instead require Symbian.
