Interesting thought. But if you're going that route, why not just use a Verizon MiFi unit? No cables needed, and your own wifi hotspot for multiple devices.
thanks for the suggestion. I already have the USB air card and it would be nice to use same air card for my laptop and gtab. my air card is company paid for to include monthly subscription.
If company paid for, you might ask your IT dept if they can do a device swap or upgrade to the mifi. Same data plan. I do it for my guys.

I know this has already been covered a zillion times, but I'm having trouble finding a solid answer to this:
Is is at all possible to use the SanDisk SD Wi-Fi card with the T-Mobile PPC Phone? I am currently using ROM 4.01.00.
I actually purchased the card and then realized that it doesn't seem to work with the device, so does anybody know of another component I can buy that will provide Wi-fi to the phone?
Thanks very much...
Greg.'
Sorry...
As I understand it the XDA PPCPE does not support SD/IO. This means that you will not be able to use the Sandisk Wi-Fi. I did hear a rumor that is was only a driver away from sd/io but not sure about that rumor.
Seems like you answered your question right there. It won't work in the device because the device does not support SDIO. With that being said, I have never heard of a way to "rig" a Wi-Fi connection to the XDA....but I could be wrong.
Understood, but I'm also wondering since the Sandisk card won't work because it's SDIO, is there anything that's not SDIO that will work?
No, understand that SDIO stands for SD card slot, INPUT AND OUTPUT. Since any wifi card you use is by default SDIO, you are stuck. I heard once that somone was working on a wifi device that connects to the activesync port but I think it is vaporware.
Wi FI for XDA - Progress Report.
This is another challenge I have decided to tackle in my spare time,I would call it more difficultware than vaporware at this stage! :roll:
First of all there is no way to make a SD card function like an SDIO. The IPAQ were built with SDIO, meaning they do have the I/O part that can be activated programatically by the patch.
Not to despair. I wanted a WI FI solution for my XDA because I work around many hotspots.
A few other XDA developers also had the same inclination and prutchi managed to connect to a LAN using a wireless device using RS232 cable, you can read about it in:
http://xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2938&highlight=wifi
:idea: :idea: I decided to go with the Active Synch port and the USB cable ( the one you can buy from AT&T or TMobile for $20-25) for hotsync process instead of carrying the cradle or have one custom built
I am using a Linksys Wireless Network Adapter( Model WUSB11 ver 2.6) this is a USB powered device( challenge 1- how to get the PDA to power up the device!) and using the SDIO WIFI software as a template for the interface.
So far:
In PPC 2002. I have not been able to connect at all.
In WM2003 I connect, can ping IPs on WIFI, but do not have IE access.
and the netwrok card only works when the power cord is plugged into the USB synch cable from AT&T! Never when the unit is unplugged.
1-Working on a way to make it work with IE,meaning we can actually browse with it.
2- Looking for a USB based WAP card that has a battery or small power source( so it does not need to feed off the device)
Open to suggestions, ideas and collaboration on this!
Thank you
I wonder if sync/charge cables floating on eBay for $5 or so would address challenge #1. The power does not necessarily flow the other way, of course.
I used some of those as well and no luck!
The problem is not the calble and USB connection. I need now to find a powered USB access point) once I get a device with power I can do some testing on the API to it and get us Wi Fi for XDA1.
Wondering if anyone has seen this or knows if it exists
now adays, a apple ibook 12 inch is my primary laptop
and ofcourse, the xda 1 cannot connect to a laptop via blue tooth or wifi as a wireless modem
the ibook, lacks any PCMCIA slots for expansion cards, making a gsm pcmcia card out of the question for wireless access over t-mobile
anyone know if theres a gsm usb (or firewire for that matter) adapter that can accept a sim card and act as the usual pcmcia air cards ?
apples also lack serial, parrallel (more or less anything legacy they dont have), so those are out of the question also
its getting to the point where im paying $80 a month for cell phone service ($29.95 for 300 minutes, $20 for tmobile to tmobile , $20 for unlimited data access) , not including another $20 to tmobile for a hotspot account
if i can get a gsm usb adapter, id have my friend (works for tmobile) move my gsm account to a new card, and use that with the laptop, letting me absolve myself from a hotspot acct
any ideas ?
-Mario
it all comes down to supply and demand
if the demand have been great enough to give market to a such device
somebody have payed the RD cost to develop such a device
i would google the hell out of logic search pattarns to see if it give a result
though i doubt that there is such a device myself
Hi everyone, i have an s3 and am pc without an wifi adapter only lan, ok. I want to use my s3 as a wireless adapter, meaning i connect my s3 to pc through cabble and use it as an wirelles adapter to have net on my pc from my router through the s3.Can i do this? thx a million

I think you need something called reverse tether. I seem to recall seeing an app in playstore that does that, but I'm unsure if its free.
You may or may not need KIES installed - just be careful if you're using ODIN. The two don't get on.
Hello everybody!
Today I have read about connecting 3G modem to Android tablet via OTG USB.
So, can't we, owners of non-4G S III, connect 4G modem to S III and make it working?
Maybe, is there a way to take a case, which will cover back of the phone, and to hide under case a 4G dongle,and connect it via cable with charging-and-OTG-in-one. After that we put one sim-card without internet to phone, and one sim-card with 4G internet to this dongle.
May we make 4G dongle working on Android, especially S3?
P.S. Yes, I know, that it's better to buy another phone, but I want to do some experiments with this device.
Sure, go right ahead and let us know how you get on.
You can buy a 4g phone, better spec than the s3 for £150 with lollipop included.

Your tricks sound like Project Ara to me! That's technically impossible!
Hi All,
I am looking to convert my unlimited data (Samsung Galaxy S3) to a wifi signal but have some hurdles... 1) No hotspot feature included on cell, 2) Hotspot apps trigger an "additional fee" message from carrier and 3) don't want to brick cell by trying to root. We are currently using Easytether which is working great but are limited by the USB cable.
Is it possible to connect a cell directly to a wireless router (via USB cable) or through a desktop? Could a dongle or external adapter help us? Could we somehow adjust the built-in wireless card to connect to the Easytether adapter in the Network Center?
I realize this is probably apples to oranges but am hoping someone has a work around. I have done my homework as a noob but my head is pounding with this one. Thank you everyone in advance. ps...I do have someone who can follow your instructions
