THIS IS MORE OF A TECHNICAL POST RATHER THAN A ANDROID QUESTION BUT I DIDN'T FIND AN APPROPRIATE PLACE TO POST THIS.
Hey guys this is my first post here. had been consulting xdadev for a while now.
My problem is where i go to college i get roaming and i cannot use my internet there. so i though of this solution,
Buy a usb wifi dongle which takes 2G 3G Sim cards and converts into a wifi signal. the one i wish to buy is Huawei E355 (Wifi Dongle) Data Card.
Use a battery pack with a USB output the one i saw is really cheap has a 5v output by the description. DigiFlip Essential 2200 mAh PC004 USB Travel Charger. <Help me find out if a battery pack will work with the dongle, i have no idea since this is my first time using a 3g dongle. (using wired internet to a wifi router in home.).
I was thinking if i can just connect the usb wifi router with data card in it to the battery pack and put it in my pocket. and use internet via wifi,
Let me know if that's possible.
I tried searching for a similar post but was unsuccessful if you know of any which is already solved please send the link.
Thanks a lot. :laugh:

I apologize if this has been discussed previously, but I did search and didn't find anything.
I travel quite a bit and it is surprising how many hotels still don't have wireless in the rooms. Most have an ethernet connection available and I carry a long cable. Is there a dongle or other solution for connecting the Sony S? I am getting a travel wireless modem, but hate having to carry more stuff.
Thanks,

Hi
I ordered my Prime and i'm waiting to be delivered.
I'm wondering if it is possible to share my 3G from my android phone with the Prime
I know i can do this with my windows laptop.
This way i can save the battery of my phone instead of using my phone as an accesspoint
I don't know about bluetooth, i think it also will kill by battery
yes
Thread on this in the Questions section, recently solved the issue with Ad hoc networks.
Portable hot spot enabled on your phone should do it.
USB tethering may be possible and use less power
Dont know about BT, I've always found it fiddly to get working although it may use a bit less power than wifi

HAHA Another Thanks virginity broken!!! man I am tearing it up!!!! Ok so it seems your question has been answered. I just wanted to let you know that we have a questions and answer forum.
I get the impression that the OP was actually asking about using his phone's 3G connection with a wired tether since he specifically mentioned not using it as an access point in order to preserve his phones battery.
To be honest, I don't really know and my Prime is at home whilst I'm travelling to work.
However, you should be able to connect your phone to the dock via a cable, and then use the WiFi Hotspot functionality as your dock will keep your phones battery topped up.

In the short testing I did, I found BT tethering to give the best battery life. USB tethering will drain the dock battery by charging your phone, so isn't always better.
BT tethering on my HD2 with ICS uses around 6% battery an hour on the phone, so easily enough on a full charge to keep up with the prime, even when docked.
I bought the Prime with the naive idea to not use my laptop on my trips.
Now I carry two computers instead of one, or I should leave the Prime at home
* The ad hoc is not working so I cannot connect to my phone (Nokia).
* Android cannot handle connections that need redirection of the website, I cannot connect to my hotel WiFi. I can do it on my laptop or even my symbian phone, but not with the prime.
It's so annoying... and I don't want to root the stupid tablet.
Hello Everyone,
I have my phone rooted on 47A with mobile hotspot / tethering working.
My question is has anyone found a device that goes from micro USB port on the phone to a Ethernet port and wired from the Ethernet port to a switch or router? or better yet it also has the ability to charge the phone at the same time?
What I want to do is, if my main ISP for my house goes down. I want have a Dual WAN router fail over to a connection where I plug my phone in with USB tethering and get the house internet up and running as temporary fix. I know there as Wi-Fi devices out there that will work in client mode off my phones Wi-Fi but I want to be able to hard wire everything for the best speed possible.
Thank you
I found something in the link below from HP. Not sure if it will work to charge my phone, but its the idea.

Hi!
I don't have much to suggest in this area. I do know that USB->ethernet adapters exist, and you could physically hook one up through a USB OTG adapter. I don't think it would work that simply, but who knows. I definitely doubt such a setup would charge your device.
The adapter you found sounds promising for both working and charging, since it specifically mentions Android.
Charge it up.
Use the integrated micro USB port to connect your tablet’s AC adapter and charge your tablet while you work.[1]
[1] Charging supported on Android™ tablets only.

In the future, please post questions in the Q&A section. I'll ask a moderator to move this thread.
Hi,
I just wondered if its possible to connecta an Ethernet cable to the Mate 20 Pro and use the phone itself as a USB modem.
I know there are loads of USB C to Ethernet connectors out there but they seem to be aimed at PCs.
Basically I want to turn my phone in to an hotspot via ethernet, then plug the other end of the cable in to a WAN port on a router, and use that router as the wireless hotspot if that makes sense. It's because I am moving houes and will have 3 week wait for broadband to be installed.
A Raspberry Pi solution could be an option. I don't know enough to describe what to do.

Ignore me!
I already have a WiFi extender at home, I will just turn my hotspot on and programme the Wifi Extender to rebroadcast the signal. When I am out of the house the extender won't work obviously but will kick in to life when I turn o the hotspot back on etc.
I thought I would take a moment and share what I have experienced recently with my home network connection.
I got a new Internet service provider since the local one I was using had too many dropped connections and my job depends on being online. But at least the modem was in the office and I could use an Ethernet cable to connect to my desktop computer to the Internet without using WIFI. This has not been the case with my new connection. The modem was in the living room. So I had to find a way to connect my desktop computer using wifi. This meant I had to buy a stick-like device and plug it into a USB port as a sort of antenna
But I had issues with this. Sometimes the connection dropped. After a while I have resorted to having an Ethernet cable go from my living room to my office. And this is where I am now. Any thoughts? It works. And, as the expression goes, "if it is not broken, don't fix it" but maybe I should be looking ahead to a better solution.
I was thinking about a wifi booster. But, on the other hand, is there nothing better or faster than having a direct and hard wired connection?
