I guess that this was bound to happen sooner rather than later. You can enable tethering on the LG Optimus 7 in the same way that it is done on the Samsung Omnia 7 and Samsung Focus. First you will have to enter the Diagnosis /MFG mode of the phone by dialing ##634# and taping call. Once it’s done the MFG application will appear in your phone’s application list. Launch the MFG app and enter the following code to unlock the diagnosis tools: 277634#*#. You will then see several option appear. Once you have done this download the LG Modem drivers here and follow the instructions below:

– Disable the Data connection in the phone’s Cellular setings
-Launch the MFGtools and select “USB Switching”
– Select QC Composite and the phone will reboot
– Once it’s done connect your phone to your PC and wait until the drivers are automatically re-installed
– Go into the “LGE CDMA USB Modem” settings and ad the following +CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”xxxxxx ” (xxxxx=carriers name”)
and *99# as the call number.

To revert back to normal Zune mode just select MS Compiste in the MFG tools and your phone will reboot in normal mode.
