Will my huawei e1550 work under android?
I see that some other Adroid devices (china tablet pc like Zenithink and other) have the software, which can config internet connections.
Will Gen8 init this device?

For now, no. Unless Huawei or 3rd party develop driver for it.
My E1550 now also collecting dust coz i'm using 101 most of the time rather than laptop.
If i understand, we need root access to add 3rd party driver? Or there uis no way to compile driver?
This would be quite interesting if it would work.
Would this also enable call/sms functionalities?
I have an AT&T Laptop Connect Dongle which does not work. I have been able to bluetooth tether using PAN. I would rather use adhoc, i haven't found a way yet.
I prefer Archos to improve the stabilities of his 2.2 firmware first before adding more "new" features.
3G dongles
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I was able to digg around, it seems that USB host mode (wich is already in Archos), __usbserial.ko__, and adeqaute parts of devfs rules, are only three really necessary things that are needed on any linux, for USB 3G dongles to get properly recognized (at least Huawei ones).
rest of the things regarding "dial-up" a 3G connection, are done with commands from ppp package (should be in froyo), can be done from shell (busysbox __should__ be sufficient) for a start.
usb_modeswitch package is needed also, but only for the modems that are USB composites with virtual CD-ROM and/or MMC card reader (like mine E1552) in order to switch them to a serial mode (because their are detected as mass-storage initialy). For a start, this can be overcomed by sending adequate AT command's to dongle, that disable dongle's virtual CD-ROM and/or MMC card reader, from some windows machine prior to experimenting with dongle on linux/archos (setting is saved on dongle - you only need to do it once).
Since I still don't have my A101 (should receive it beggining of 2011), can someone tell me from kernel .config file is USB serial support compiled in archos kernel, and if not can we compile it as a additional module (like archos unionfs/ntfs modules is see in other thread) ?
Hi all,
is it possible to buy external 3G modem for my toshiba folio 100?
I wanna use the SIM card which I already have. All I need is any external device with 3G modem, SIM card slot, drivers for android 2.2(I reinstalled OS) and it should be powered from folio(no power adapter). thnx
I don't know who is your internet provider, but you can buy a portable 3g to wifi router from Vodafone. Its small enough to fit your pocket (2.5 ") and it will accept up to 6 wireless connections and 7.2 Mbps, which is not bad at all!

T-mobile(Slovakia). We don't have Vodafon in Slovakia.
But, I already have a sim card with 3GB data limit per month. I wanna use that one. I know there is USB 3G modem with SIM card slot on the market, but it cost around 40-50 €. I will spend that much money only if somebody make me sure that the modem will work with android 2.2 on toshiba folio 100.
I wanna use USB modem, bacause those are powered from USB port. So, no battery, no kabels, no adapters.

Kernel has so far no drivers embedded i know off, that would enable usb 3g modems.. i tried some Huawei 3g modems but all usb dongles fail to work, and we need driver for them to make it work and get them working with our kernel.
i dont think its easy right now..
probably best choice right now is a old htc magic or tattoo with Wifi Tether app on top, and connect using adhoc from folio..
Hi Dexter,
I installed today your Mod 1.3 on a Folio 100.
I tryed a Hauwei E160 and a Qualcom GI0225 3G without success.
I read Malata T2 support 3G dongles,
do your mod TNT based in Malata support 3G dongles?
Thanks

It should be no problem to add huawei drivers to the kernel, as we can recompile it without any problems.
The more difficult part is to add support to android for it, but I can take a look on it. The ZT-180 has support for Huawei datacards. We can check how they are doing it...

if the driver and usb handling is added, we can probably make it work..
Toshiba already included a driver for some SonyEricsson card, and if Malata T2 has a driver, we can re-use theirs for sure..
I'm not stopping anyone here would be great if huawei devices would work, i got 2 here i can test with..

Attached is update.zip with a recompiled kernel.
Here are the changes:
* Added drivers for USB datacard (especially huawei)
* Added a lot of USB-Serial drivers
* Added support for DVB devices - maybe someone want to watch TV using a DVB-T stick on the folio
* Removed SMB driver - it is obsolete - CIFS should be used insted
* Added support for a few USB Ethernet cards
* Added USBFS support

You can now connect the huawei datacard to the folio and it will be recognized by the kernel. The next part is to add the userspace apps to control the modem.
Here is the dmesg of connecting a Huawei K3765-HV (Vodafone):
Code:

<6>[ 481.993997] usb 2-1.2: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB2
Important:
The Huawei datacards present only the internal storage when connected to a PC/device without the correct userspace programms. Before connecting it to the Folio you must disable the internal storage of the Huawei datacard. Otherwise only the internal storage will be detected by the Folio.
You can do this in Windows by opening the correct COM port with Hyper Terminal or Putty and enter:
Code:
AT^U2DIAG=0
In order to avoid this step we should add (usb_modeswitch) into the folio firmware. There is also a static arm build availible.
Update 1.1:
I have also added USBFS support to the kernel. This is required by usb_modeswitch.
You can also use lsusb now.
Before using lsusb you must mount it first:
Code:
mount -t usbfs -o devmode=0666 none /proc/bus/usb
THIS IS OBSOLTE PLEASE CHECK http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10617881
Update 1.2:
I have added ppp-async and sync support to the kernel and also activated the ril servie.
It is possible to connect to GSM / UMTS networks with a custom ppp script now.

DerArtem unt Weeds2000 and more(?) people are modifying the kernel.
I'm no kernel developer (mainly C++/PHP) but I know that when several developers change the same code they may "reinvent the weel" and/or do things that spoils for eachother.
Anyway, I understand adding modules to the kernel might not be rocket science but to me and probably all other of us "Folio-heads" the things you people do are really GREAT !!!

It does not update
should probably move this as it's turning into a dev-thread
thank you guys for responding, I hope you can add this into your next foliomod update. I see more people are having this problem. For now I will use my nokia N95 as an acces point(if AD HOC realy works).
I have also added USBFS support to the kernel. This is required by usb_modeswitch.
You can also use lsusb now.
Before using lsusb you must mount it first:

Now I'm getting confused. Is it working already? This is only adding it into kernel, right? We still need to install some application that will provide us with some control over the modem. Am I right?

correct, and currently the Japanese tablets has drivers for huawei cards.. but driver might be incompatible.
and Advent vega i think do have a driver for these too.. so with the help of their work, we might be able to get our folio online, but its still in a early stage..
and im still looking for my own huawei card i misplaced...
Hello, I just got my disaster "baby" today. I was surprised, that really ALL the negative rumors are true, hope the mod will help After a superb HD2 Superram "Android" phone..
Where is the problem to take a small 3G pocket Router instead. Besides the price of course ? I saw really a few nice compact Models, some with ethernet port, even better...
For me, it would be better to have the router in the Jacket or backpack, then having this stick hanging out of the usb port, or even connected via cable...
Or did I miss here somthing ? ...Always the same, I could not wait. The 3g Model is not yet available here.
Thanks
P.s. I dont know, but it feels like gliding with a rubber on the screen. Goose Skin...
Are you all doing it without protection ? Or is there a protector, which adds some smooth silkyness ? In this area is my omnia7 number one at the moment...
Hello, can I use a USB Ethernet adapter in the folio?

our folio is hardcoded to use wlan0 device which will then "conflict" with you usb ethernet adapter, which normally by new kernel (DerArtem edition) will be assigned eth0 and all dhcp scripts are also pointing to wlan0 .
so it is not really supported unless you manually configure the new ethernet device. which is not easy if you don't have linux experience.
ok thanks and thanks for your mod
I am a happy Folio 100 user .
I have this system CM10.1 (4.2.2) Beta 1 - 3.1 kernel on my tablet .
I would to use an usb ethernet ( rj45 plug ) adapter on it instead of wifi .
Is there a list of compliant devices for this couple Toshiba Folio 100 / CM10.1 (4.2.2) Beta 1 - 3.1 kernel ?
Could I try ASIX chipset ?
Is there linux 3.1.10 support already included for it ?
I have just to desactivate wifi interface and after plugging the usb adapter to use on my Folio ?
Is that right ?
Thank you for work .
I have an Ainol Novo 7 Paladin tablet running android ICS 4.0.3 (rooted) that I want to use in one of my projects. And I need it to communicate with an arduino - one with FTDI or prolific PL2303 serial interface. Now I know that the Paladin should work as an USB host but I need something more. I need an high level Java library that can use this serial interface. I've worked with rxtx on a desktop machine before and that is the most complicated that I would like to get. The main reason is that I simply don't have enough knowledge to write myself an serial driver. I just need a simple character based two way communication.
I've found this http://slickdevlabs.com/slick-usb-2-serial-library/ but I don't think that it will work for me - at least the test application doesn't since the Paladin has an Ingenic JZ4770 CPU that isn't ARM based. And the second problem - I don't like the price.
So I have made an USB OTG cable that is working - I can connect a mouse, keyboard, usb drive,... . Getting the serial interfaces working is another problem. When I plug the arduino with an PL-2303 controller to the tablet I get this (with dmesg):
Code:
USB AS HOST MODE
...
hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1
usb 1-1: new full speed USB device number 82 using musb-hdrc
usb 1-1: device v067b p2303 is not supported
we are entering usb_match_id!!!!!
Simillar with the arduino with FTDI controller.
As far as I know android should have the drivers for the PL-2303 and FTDI chips included. So any ideas?
Hi folks!
I need the OTG/USB Host function on my Jiayu G3. Normally it doesn't support it..
So I did i lot of research and tests at "how i can enable it" and found some information:
1. some things point to it, like the libusbhost.so in /system/lib
2. all 5 pins of the usb slot are connected to a chip (this says nothing, i know)
3. i have found a pdf, which says that otg is possible on mt6575-77 (found on github)
So my question, has anybody get otg/usb host get enabled on Jiayu G3 oder m65xx phones? OR is anybody there who want the same like me and helps me to make it possible?
OTG unlock
Hi
I have a similar problem with my Jiayu G3s (MTK6589T).
For most USB devices it does not react but i hope there is a chance to make it work.
I do not know if it si trustworthy but according to USB OTG Checker my device supports USB OTG.
When i insert one of my USB flash drives i can find sdcard1 folder (total commander) . It is empty but it reacts.
Can anybody please help or just explain what is the problem. Thank you

Hi there,
I think I have a possible solution for this case.
Many USB cables are not correct to link with computer. I have two cables, one of Jiayu and other (more thin) brought in a chinese store. The cable brought in chinese store don't work to link with computer.
I hope this information was useful.
Any updates?

This might help. Using an apk it is possible to make it work, IF kernel supports it. Don't know if phone has hardware support though...
I've read here that you should connect the ID pin to a pull-down 150k resistor, then to GND.
