I have a T-Mobile UK USB Mobile Intenet dongle that I use for my laptop when travelling in the UK. (Huawei E1750 to be specific.) Is it possible to get this to work on the gTablet? There is youtube video of this working on other android tablets.
In my novice knowledge, I see two issues: 1) getting the gtablet to recognize the dongle; and 2) getting a ROM that has WCDMA enabled in the networking options.
Any guidance? Thanks in advance!
search this topic several members have tried to get usb dongles working with little success. there are no drivers for them

Hey everyone-
I was wondering if anyone knew of a way, or at least a theoretical way, to get internet on your phone via a usb cable using your pc's wired ethernet connection. The reason I ask this is because I've gone into plenty of areas where wired internet is available but wireless isn't? Any ideas or help would be appreciated, and if nothing exists I'm willing to partner with a dev to make this happen possibly. Thanks again.

I don't think there is a way to do this via usb yet. But you should try this
1. bridge your wireless and wired connection
2. setup an ad-hoc network on your pc.
This is assuming you are using a laptop and have some version of win7 installed. For more detailed instructions google both of those steps individually.

its written for the desire, but it should work just fine.
Hi All,
I running the stock wm6.5 HD2 rom from t-mobile.
I have just bought a Arnova 10 G2 (cheap from hmv) and would like to use my phone wi-fi hotspot to get online. The problem I have is, the tablet does not recognise WEP encryption.
Can someone tell me the easiest way I can get online using my phone?
I have done several searches and a few people discuss similar issues and talk about writing and adding code. I do not know how to do this as I'm a middle aged fat bloke with no understanding of such things.
I have read a lot about flashing the phone to make it android, would this help or is there a simpler way?
Thanks in advance

Problem is not your WM6.5 HD2.
Problem is Android has ****e standard connectivity & does not have ad-hoc support as standard.
You will have to find an ad-hoc fix for the Tablet.
WM6.5 conectivity for tethering in both directions is faultless & can be achieved via wifi/BT/USB

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I'm not sure how to find a ad-hoc fix for the tablet. I've looked for wi-fi apps to find one that will recognise WEP w-fi.
there are a few out there but they find the phone but do not allow connection. as when you try to connect it takes you back to the tablet software.
thanks again for your help.
i have the same problem ... HD2 WM.6.5 and ARCHOS 70 INTERNET
do you found a solution??

The only way I've found is to replace the wpa supplicant file, and it will require root access. I can't seem to attach files from my View. I got the file in the Dell Streak forum - search for wpa_supplicant. The one I have is for gb.
Sent from my HTC View in LALA land.
EDIT: OK, back on my PC, and here is the thread with the file:

Hello, I've got the same tablet and tethering works with my htchd2. Wifi routing does not work, I was not able to create a PAN network with my HTC HD2, and was not able to see a DUN network on my tablet. (or is it the other way round ?)
But tethering, using my 3G connection works. I sometimes need to reboot the tablet.
Hi everyone,
I would like to know if there is an android app or any other methods or fixes or any ways to be able to make calls like a phone from a 3g unlocked dongle on a tablet pc that supports usb 3g dongles like there is software for pc's such as mobile partner? If there isnt can anyone one of you advanced android programmers create such an app or fix? The 3g dongle already supports call making and sms sending features. I have scoured the net for a solution but to no avail. I think this one is for the advanced xda developers. Thanks in advance and take good care.
Come on people!!! Somone must have an idea on this?
Bump!
Still no luck?

It has been more than two years since this post. Still no luck with such an app that allows calling through a usb dongle?
sry i know that threat is old.. but are some one know is there any way to use 3g dongle to use it to calling on my android device
lol to this day there is no software or fixes for 3g/4g dongles except ONLY ONE....... heres a thought though! there are new mobile sim calling devices being manufactured these days where you insert the mobile sim card into the device which has a telephone and a keypad and you can make calls, perhaps its because of this reason there are no softwares, SOME SORT OF BLACKLISTING. to allow sales.
the android app you need is called PPP Widget. theres an old version and a version 2 try them both.

Hello All,
I recently switched from an Android based phone to a Lumia 920. The phone is great so far except for one issue. I am unable to tether the phone to my playstation. I have no issues tethering other devices such as tablets and my desktop, but the playstation fails to connect and prompts me to check my LAN security settings before connectivity can be established. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I read some posts about carriers restricting thethering access. Don't know if that could be the cause. I haven't tried tethering yet, will do so later today and report back.
Hello,
Basically, I just purchased a prepaid TracFone TCL A509DL and have not activated (over the air). I have headaches from cellphones/WIFIs/Bluetooth and I am trying to keep this phone connected to the Internet using a USB Ethernet adapter connection only. I don't know if I need to root or not to root to use this phone as a driving GPS device.
I have already started it up and put in Airplane mode and tried connecting different dongles from Amazon such as micro USB to Ethernet and none work.
Is it possible to ran initial updates using Ethernet with the stock drivers/firmware, how do I update to the latest? Or do I need to root the phone and find some alternatives to google maps? Would you please suggest?
Thank you
