USB 3G/GPRS dongle - Will it work? - Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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) ?

What USB devices can be used with the G-Tab?

Is there a list of functions that can be used with the GTab USB? For example: can I mount a digital camera as a USB drive?
Pretty much all storage devices work. People have had success with 3g usb adapter. Mouse and keyboard also work. I haven't tried printer yet.
Has any research been done with usb wifi adapters? I've searched but with no success as I'm sure the issue would be driver related.
The kernel controls what can and cannot be used via USB first.. If there is kernel support for your do-dad, you're good to go at least for the first step... after that, the rest of the Android framework needs to allow you to do something useful with the thing, which may or may not stop it from helping... or may require apps, or additional libraries, or pixie dust.
Right out of the box, if it looks like a HID (keyboard/mouse) or storage, something encouraging will happen on most of the g-tab roms, even the stock rom. If its storage but a format that's not supported by your kernel, you may need additional modules, or it may never work.
Everything else, who knows. Use a custom kernel, and get the source, and build one that supports what you want. Check for linux support - if its supported in linux, odds are way way better...
user mode usb driver support?
I would like to write a "virtual Control Panel" application to communicate with a propriatery device via USB. Under Windows XP, I wrote a device driver, DLL and C++ application.
Now I am sure the linux kernel does not support the proprietary protocol of my device. However I understand that some linux systems support user mode device drivers for USB devices.
Is this the case with Android 2.3?
If so, can a user mode device driver be written with the Android SDK?

[Q] Howto attach to network drive ?

My WiFi router has a 32G flash drive plugged into its built-in USB port. All my Windows based PC's in my home, can access that flash drive as a network drive.
Is there any way that my Android devices (Droid 4, generic Allwinner tablet) can also access that drive? Of course, when they are connected up to my home's WiFi network.
I have been searching for such an app, unsuccessfully, though it is entirely possible that I am simply not using the correct terms when searching.
Just to add, both my devices are running ICS, and have been rooted (if that makes a difference for the answer).
You can use ES File Manager it allows for Samba / FTP file sharing it is a fairly strait forward app and you shouldn't have any difficulties using it.

port forwarding to RasPI

Hi,
I have Raspberry PI (there simply runs ARM linux - Raspbian) and need to access it via ssh and http in my local network. I have tried some tether application, but it does not help since there is NAT.
I have tried some port forward apps, I have set ports but still not able to connect to this port. Do I need to change anything on my RasPI?
I have thought that I need some interface on RasPI, but there is no (sth like usb0). I have tried to connect firstly with easytether and then portforward, but still no success.
Any advice?
Thank you.

Access internet

Hello,
I have rooted OnePlus One device (Android 5.1.1 custom ROM Sultanxda) and an old PC which have installed ubuntu 10.04. That PC don't have internet connection so I can't perform sudo apt get comand. Kindly teach me how do I connect to the internet by using my OnePlus One device and above ubuntu version OS.
Thank you.
If you have wireless option on PC its as easy as setting up a mobile hotspot, otherwise you can use a USB cable as well
A quick Google (or xda) search will give lots of guides on this
Thanks for reply. I only have USB cable option. Can you please help me how do I proceed. When I searched on internet all of them saying to have some apt get, but here qestion is when (i don't have internet connection on the PC; my only tool is my device to access the internet) starts to solve the problem, solution starts itself with head of problem. Even if I downloads some file in the device, I am not able to copy them in PC because it is neither mounting the device nor any MTP/ADB functionality available. Is there any way to copy / access the device through twrp?
Bump...
See if you can get MTP to work in Ubuntu with this:
edit -
/lib/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules
Add:
ATTR{idVendor}=="05c6", ATTR{idProduct}=="6764", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", MODE="660", GROUP="audio", ENV{ID_MTP_DEVICE}="1", ENV{ID_MEDIA_PLAYER}="1", TAG+="uaccess"
ATTR{idVendor}=="05c6", ATTR{idProduct}=="6765", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", MODE="660", GROUP="audio", ENV{ID_MTP_DEVICE}="1", ENV{ID_MEDIA_PLAYER}="1", TAG+="uaccess"
Restart udev:
sudo service udev restart
As far as an internet connection, if your carrier (or rom) supports wifi tethering, then you can get a USB wifi adapter. If you are able to tether, then you can also transfer files wireless by using an app like WiFi File Explorer Pro.
There is no /lib/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules in my PC. Do I have to create one new?
I tried to create one new and paste above two lines and restarted udev, but no luck. When i says lsusb it says :
Bus 001 Device 015: ID 05c6:6775 ualcomm, Inc.
@other:
Kindly don't post your answer(s) for just sake of posting because its frustrating me, why I am fighting with ubuntu, while same is running fine in windows...duh. Before posting your answer please please please check whether its is checked by you or you are just pasting **** answer at all over the internet.

Hardware Initialization sequence change - HELP

Hello guys and gals
I am not a developer and my knowledge is not that perfect but from my experiment with different x 86 Roms I have come to conclusion that when a rom starts up there is a hardware initiation that happens with in the rom instructing what hardware with what drivers should load first.
Here is the thing, I do not know how to edit the sequence of this as I have a laptop that in which the built in wifi gets initiated first then followed by the USB ports on the system.
When this happens since my laptop is the latest model running on Intel 6 Gen hardware, the built in wifi card is not supported by android M which causes me not to have a working wifi.
I have a compatible wifi usb dongle that is 100% compatible but since the system initiates the internal wifi card first, android locks into the first card initiated and ignores the wifi dongle plugged into the USB ports.
Now I need help to find out what file needs to be change in order to change the hardware Initialization order and let the Rom load up the USB ports first, and then later on search for the built in wi-fi card in order to fix this issue I have
Laptop spec and model:
XPS-9550
I7 6 Gen, 32GB Ram, Samsung 512GB Nvme SSD, 4K touch display
Do let me know

You should be able to blacklist the module for the internal wifi; via grub or a file in /system/etc
