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!

I have T-Mobile and I want to buy the International Samsung Galaxy S II. I understand that the International version does not support T-Mobile's 3g frequency band, and I would be limited to 2g speeds. However, I was wondering if it would be possible to buy an external antenna to be able to use 3g speeds. Or even better, is it possible to replace the internal antenna?
No and No.
DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS YOU WANT TO KILL YOUR GS2.
Sorry for the bold, but despite there being no rhyme or reason for it, I came across a thread which illustrated this fact from multiple people who tried external antennas, and here's what happened. The antenna worked, they thought all was good, then they disconnected the antenna, no signal. EVER again. I guess what happens is when you plug in an external antenna it pushes some contacts apart which breaks contact with the internal antenna permanently (supposedly a few that were very handy with a VERY tiny needle were able to fix it). Don't ask me why Samsung would design it this way while leaving the plugs exposed but that's what I read. Just wanted to make sure you didn't find out the hard way
In other words, the jack is there, and you can find adapters for those jack(s), but you really don't want to, unless you want to ONLY use external antennas for the rest of time (not most people).
EDIT: Whoops, forgot to add the most important part. Antenna has NOTHING to do with the fact that the radio doesn't support t-mo's frequencies. It's like having an antenna designed for HDTVs, and hoping to get hdtv on your standard def tv. Antennas don't "translate", they're all just fancy coathangers.

"antenna has nothing to do with GSM OR CDMA bands." its the radio chip that does the work.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Understood, thanks for your help guys. Is there a way to mark this as [Solved] or something?

Yes. Edit your first post to an eye-popping "SOLVED"
I have a question for everybody! Is it possible to connect to the internet with a smartphone (in my case LG P500) via bluetooth using an ordinary phone ( Sony Ericsson Elm). I'm wondering if it's possible to use an android phone instead of a computer. I know it's much easier to swap the sim cards between those two phones, but I don't actually have a good network coverage in my countryside and i use to put the SE Elm somewhere outside of the house near by the window and use bluetooth to connect with my laptop from inside of the house Thanks! Cheers!
I cannot see a forum for this phone so I hope this is the correct place.
I've never used a smartphone before & googling this question gets me lots of Americans talking about being hunted down by Verizon for not using their data package. As I'm in the UK most of what they are talking about is irrelevant to my situation.
I would be buying a SimFree phone to use with my trusty old virgin PAYG sim card. It has no data plan. I want to use my sim card for calls but use my router via the Desire X's WiFi at home for the internet like I do with my Nexus 7.
Is this possible? How? Thanks.
PS. Mention US 'carriers' especially Verizon & I will chop you up & feed you to the badgers!

Yes it is entirely possible. Just buy the phone, put your SIM-card in it and disable "Mobile Data". When you first turn the phone on though, make sure that you are at home so you can connect to the wireless network for the Google set-up stuff. Beyond that you can use the phone as a phone when you are out-and-about and as a smart-phone when you are within range of a wireless network.

Firstly apologies for not getting back to this straight away I've been offline.
Secondly thank you very much for that. That is exactly the information I needed. I was really worried it wasn't possible. Thanks for taking the time to respond. :good:

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

Hi,
I wonder if there is any possibility to make LTE dongles work on my wifi 8.4. I have one without use and I would like to get LTE connectivity on my M5, but I don´t want to root my device (not sure if I can still get bootloader unlock code).
Thanks for answers

Do you meen usb LTE dongle? if you meen usb dongle you cant connect that to any tablet, WIFI dongle you can ofcourse use. Why didnt you buy a LTE version of the tablet?
it might be better to use a MiFi, just keep it in your pocket and turn it on when you need it.
Yes it's another thing to charge, but it's less bulky and one less thing to be nocked out of your USB and break either the dongle or USB
