I am running on MIniCm6 latest firmware. The problem is unlike the option in stock 2.1 firmware to charge battery when connected to PC,I am not having any similar option in this FW. The battery just discharges continuously when connected as i use phone for 3g modem and i cant use internet for long as it shuts off.
I saw the similar threads before posting here but none had mentioned minicm6 in them. So requesting members to shed some light on this problem and what can be done to fix it?
Thank you.
You're usb tethering?

Hi all,
I am noob in this, and I want to buy LG O1. I have used nokia n72 for past 4 years.
My simple question is, I have bluetooth dongle, Can I connect LG O1 to my pc as modem and use it with 3g speed?
Also Can I do the same with USB cable?
Please help me on this. I searched a lot on google but failed to find any help. All I want to do is, I want to connect my mobile to PC, so that I can use It as a Modem.
Waiting eagerly for your responses.
Yes. It has built-in USB Tethering.
Also, Please tell me how I can do that? I dont know anything....
please.. I really want to know this.
Plug in USB Cable then go to Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Tethering & portable hotspot -> and tick USB tethering.
That's all.

Thanks so much for that SUPER QUICK reply. Is it comes with built in pc suit or something like that?, or I have to install drivers from internet?
And are there any problems with speed ? I read somewhere that speed dont get more than 3kbps when used as modem.. is that true?
I know i am asking much questions.. but I really wanna know this, as this will be my first android mobile..
It has all drivers built-in. You just have to plug it, wait for the drivers to install and then enjoy.
I've used it several times, absolutely no problems regarding speed.

thanks you again for all the help you are giving in. Two final questions.
1>Is usb tethering is dependable?
2>what is the maximum 3G speed you get ?
I don't understand what you want to know in first question.
The maximum speed is related to what your provider can give. If it handles HSDPA you get HSDPA speeds.
Upgraded from SGS to SGS 2 over the weekend and love the new phone. The only thing I am having troubles with is the Portable Wi-Fi hotspot tethering. If I use USB tethering it works perfectly but if I use Portable Wi-Fi hotspot with my computer it is slow/clunky and often reverts to "limited connection" on the computer and then under the Portable Wi-Fi hotspot heading on the phone it comes up with Error (in blue).
Has anyone else experienced this? Any solutions or idea's?
For all of those who wish to post "Just use usb tethering" I will thank you in advance so you don't have to post!
My preference is to use Portable Wifi hotspot.
There must be some data network problem with ur network carrier,,,mine is working just fine,,
but it happens when 3g strength is bad,,
Thanks for the reply but if this was the case then the internet on the phone and with the USB tethering would be the same and they are not, so I am pretty sure it is just related to the wireless tethering. Hope this helps explain why I think you are on the wrong track. Cheers.
I've been meaning to post about myself too. Tethering sometime is very slow. But when I tried download using the phone, the speed its great. Must be software related problem.

Yes I am not the only one there is a thread over at the Vodafone Community (AU) site that a couple of other people seem to be having the same problem and it appears Voda have acknowledged there is a problem.
This happens to me too. Using Villainrom 2.1. Same problem when I was using Litening 3.0.
USB tethering is ok, but WiFi keeps disconnecting. Didn't have this problem with my old Galaxy S.
Also, do anyone else notice that when USB tethering, charging doesn't work very well.
Samsung and Voda have acknowledged that this is now a known issue and they are working on a fix however there is no ETA at the moment.
This problem seem to have gone away after I flashed to KG3. Will continue to monitor if it still happens.

Hey that sounds great. Could you let me know in a couple of days how it all goes.
Just one other thing, through testing found that the first time it connected it worked perfectly but reboot the phone (and in this case several laptops) and the problem started.
Thanks again for the feedback.
Been using WiFi hotspot on KG3 past couple of days for many hours at a stretch (need to keep charger plugged in, of course). Running beautifully. No disconnects or hangs. Sometimes with 2 or 3 devices connected to it.
Same to me!
I have 2.3.4 KG2 with CF-Root and have no stability issues on Wifi hotspot tethering.

Wonderful, thanks for coming back and updating us. Cheers.
Hello!
I tried custom roms based on android 2.3 and original stock 2.3 firmware. I have the same problem. When i connect the usb cable the touch doesn't work / respond. If i don't connect the usb cable the phone works fine. I get this problem when i connect the usb cable on the phone from PC or from the charger.
Thank you!
I also have had such experiences ..it becomes slow and I think d reason is an already existing script by rom maker to underlock to low frequencies while charging..!l

My screen got also got crazy when connected to USB.

You found a solution?
Hi fellow owners,
I am considering to buy, but I'd prefer to be a cheap and get the 16GB WiFi version. However, it would be nice to be able to use a USB dongle for 3G from time to time. Anybody tried?
Thanks!

Its micro usb port, will have to use adapter, my advice, use your phone as host spot

good advice. I can certainly do this as well as use a 3g wifi router i have. but using the phone's hot spot drains phone's battery and using a router adds to the bulk. that is why I'd like to try a dongle.
Thanks!

I read in the GSMArena review that the XTZ can be tethered to a phone using Bluetooth:
Even if you get a Tablet Z without 3G, you can still use mobile Internet, provided you have a data plan on your droid phone and the Xperia Link installed. The app simplifies the tethering process. It puts a widget on the homescreen that lets you turn tethering on and off.
You might be thinking that you can just use your droid's Wi-Fi hotspot feature to do the same (and you could). The difference here is that Xperia Link uses Bluetooth to share the Internet connection and not Wi-Fi. This should be more power efficient than a Wi-Fi hotspot especially considering you can keep Bluetooth on all the time, which will let tablet and phone hook up automatically once they are close enough (you can't do that with a hotspot as your battery will be dead in a couple of hours).

I haven't been able to try that yet -- my pre-ordered XTZ has yet to ship -- with my Nexus 4 but it could be a solution to Wifi Hotspot battery drain issue.
-- Edit to add --
Well, found the official Sony Xperia Link in the Google Play Store and it's incompatible with non-Xperia phones apparently. Although, the Bluetooth-tether idea still sounds promising. Is there a way to get around the Sony lock-in?
Works!
So I've got the tablet this week and tried just now to stick the USB modem into it.
Naturally you have to be rooted, then you need a dialer :
PPP Widget
from the author of usb_modeswitch (ubiquitous linux tool to change the usb modems from CD to serial mode)
then you need the usb drivers unsurprisingly missing from the stock rom:
On author's forum
then insmod the modules in the zip file:
cdc-acm.ko
usb_wwan.ko
option.ko
(option requires usb_wwan to be loaded first), drop the widget on the home, it should do its magic and ask you for the APN. Then it works.
what a joy.
p.s. apparently the dongle I have needs more power than there is on the tablet port, so you need a powered hub (clumsy) or an external battery and a Y cable to power it.
Hi, newbie here. My GT-P7500 won't connect to PC, red X appear on the battery icon. I tried connecting with a new original USB cable at local store, still the same. Maybe someone knows an advance way to root this device without connecting via USB? I know this is an old device, I should just thinking about getting a newer device, but it's just not my style to dump things knowing it is still usable. So thank you for anything you might suggest to me.
Uhm... The red X should be on the battery icon - USB charging is disabled by default due to the really slow charging time.
So, unless there are other problems, you don't seem to have a USB connection problem at all.

You're being so sophisticated, I couldn't get what you trying to tell me. Could you be a little more simple? What are you trying to tell me? Why the red X should be on the battery icon? Doesn't it indicate that something is wrong?

It should be there on stock ics because USB charging isn't enabled by default on the stock kernel (I think ). About your problem, do you have the correct drivers installed?

Trust me, I wouldn't have created this thread if I hadn't tried all the basics. The only thing I can hope now is a magic to root this device without connecting via USB. :cyclops:

Try connecting it again using different cables. Go ahead and check out if your computer reads it. You can try it on a different computer or just check if MTP Application is enabled and if USB Debugging is enabled under Settings.
