Was in the coffee shop and started talking to a guy about internet access. It got us thinking, has anyone been successful in getting their internet stick to work on the Gtab?

As far as I know, doesn't work yet with the TNT Lite or Vegan ROMs. People have reported that the USB 3G devices power up, but there's no 3G support that appears, presumably because of lack of kernel support. If Viewsonic releases kernel source though, I'm sure that within a few weeks you'll see ROMs here that have USB 3G support built in, since I know Linux drivers exist for these devices.
I use the Overdrive from Sprint. It creates a Wifi hotspot
Works great

I felt that was the way to go as well. I had 2 clear 4g usb sticks and upgraded one to the clearspot wifi router. Other than that I just turn the wifi on my phone and tether it that way.

The kernel sees my CDMA modem but there is no 'app' to control them. The issue is no app not the kernel.
I find these usb stick posts funny. I would figure a majority of gtab owners have an android phone. And so... I would also assume the phones are rooted.
If this is the case just use a WiFi tether application on your phones. Some of the newer versions even work as access points and not just ad hoc networks.

yeah I plug my sprint evo 4 g into my tab to keep it charged and turn on the sprint wi-fi app (via myn's warm mod)
works really well this way since its infrastructure mode
Hmmm.... thanks guys, it's a wait and see thing then, either app or kernal support.
I have the Huawei E181 stick on Wind mobile up here in Canada but don't have data on the phone so tethering or WiFi hotspot's not an option for me unfortunately.
It would have been really cool to set it up like you guys and have internet on the go.

Nope, not everyone has an android phone to tether. I do have a sprint 3g/4g usb stick I would love to get working though. And no, not interested in a smart phone, with web, and email, it's a cell phone, all I need it to do, is allow me to call people, and recieve calls. I don't even have text enabled,because I hate txting.

You think you've got it bad, try finding a way to tether to a Blackberry....
While I could tether my N1 to my GTab I would prefer to use my SierraWireless USB 308 stick with the device for internet connectivity.
As I have "virtually" unlimited DATA with the stick (where mass DATA consumption is allowed) as opposed to my N1 which while on an unlimited DATA plan is not supposed to be used for tethering. I do use my N1 as a WiFi hotspot from time to time but I prefer to keep that to a minimum, in case at&t Mobility decides to get snarky and take away my unlimited plan and substitute it for a 2Gb plan.

Texting takes much less time than taking a call.
Someone calls you have to 1) stop what you are doing. 2)hold the phone 3)in some cases get up and walk out of your office (if you work in a cubicle).
Who has the time?
Some one texts and i can answer in one or two sentences and through down the phone and keep working. Plus answering can be done at a time of MY chosing, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes later. Dont have to STOP what im doing at that moment to take the call. Call me you get voice mail and a return call 5 hours later when im done at work. Text me you get a response in less than half an hour....
Just saying.....
FRANKLY, when i hear peopke say they hate texting i always think "man, i wish i had the kind of time to waste as you do" ha ha

Hello dear XDA members !
I'm an happy owner of a Transformer (dock, 16Gb) and my uncle who tried out yesterday is now planning on ordering one for him. But his main purpose would be to use it with a 3G dongle... Would it be possible, even with some tweaking ?
Thanks a lot in advance for your kind and hopefully positive answers
Either use a phone with 3G capability and tether via bluetooth or get a Mifi you can use with a 3G sim card. The USB dongles will not work as they require drivers.
Im no expert but would this be of any help to us Transformer users?
I think it must be possible, I just do not know how. Because there is a mini-pcie position inside the tablet, and it is labelled 3G on the motherboard.
3G hardware will be installed by Asus at some point in the future. So, the software has to support this 3G. It might be easier (or harder) to get the software to recognize a 3G dongle, but I wonder how.
Great thread.
Hello,
(sorry for my bad english)
I would like to use this thread for trying to connect and use my 3G dongle on the TF101.
It's a patch for using some 3G dongles with ACER A500.
Maybe we can use it for TF101 too?
Well... I just want to try on my TF101.
So I've compared files from A500 with files inside the Prime! v1.5 rom.
I've kept some files and replaced others with the new one. But there is a file that I'm not sure:
- rild
I think it's the Radio Interface Layer Daemon or somethink like that.
From the A500 patch, "rild" file contains only text lines like this:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
insmod /system/vendor/lib/usb_wwan.ko
insmod /system/vendor/lib/option.ko
chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0
chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB1
chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB2
exec /system/bin/rild.run [email protected]
size: only 1ko
From the Prime! rom, rild file seems to be compiled:
Code:
ELF
size: 10ko
So I wonder if I can replace the file or not without bricking my TF101.
Does someone know this file and may advise me?
Regards,
Kasi
EDIT: Done but no 3G and no Mobile Network option
I use a 3g router. This exact one as a matter of fact. Works awesome and has many other perks such as battery and availability to share the 3g with anyone. I no longer care if the tablet ever supports the 3g modems. I am up and running and happy!
MBK
yes indeed. It works with a 3G router, and by thethering with my Android Phone too.
But in this case TV from my Mobile service provider doesn't work. So I must have my 3G dongle directly connected to the tablet.
I f you can't use your phone as a 3g hotspot eg. blackberry and you don't want to use a portable hotspot like a mifi and you really want a 3g dongle I recommend getting a sapido mb1132 - sorry can't post the link yet new forum user.
You can use it with your 3G/4G dongle or with an ethernet point or just as a range extender about ¬$80 off ebay.You can even use your phone as the data source. just google Sapido the products 3g/4g
I use my Sensation and a MiFi as mobile hotspot. No mod, no hack, no worry about breaking the usb dongle, no worry about the battery life because the usb dongle use a lot of power from the usb port.
Hey, I just found another option for remote internet access, although very similar to the mi-fi already mentioned. I got a Clear Rover Puck portable 4G hotspot. I tried it a few places, work, home, friends house, various parking lots and businesses, and it works great. It is very small and light, so I carry it in my pocket sometimes, and just get it out and turn on when I'm ready to surf. I'm a new customer. They give you 15 days to try it out. It's $35/month, although I think i saw somewhere that you can also use it for $5/day if you don't intend to use it that very much. Just google it and you'll find reviews and info. Also should check your 4G coverage area before buying.
http://www.clear.com/devices/details/id/93
I also bought that thingy from ASUS that allows you to use the bottom port on Transformer as a USB jack, which I guess you'd have to use with a dongle. I'd be afraid of breaking the port if using the dongle a lot, so that is one reason I like the standalone puck better. Also, You can connect several devices to it by wi-fi, not just 1, as with a dongle.
Why ASUS didn't include 3G into this tablet, nowdays thats like a must thing to do... with that would be perfect tablet!
Samsung, HTC, and Motorola have existing relations with all the Wireless phone services. That may have something to do with Asus being left out. But besides the Xoom and the Apple, are there any other Wireless Tablets available for contract with wireless phone company?

Couldn't they just do an unlocked 3G version without having any connection to wireless companies?
For personal use i don't think i will need 3g much. If/When i do, i have my rooted phone to tether to. So i don't see 3G as that needed a feature. And after following a lot of tech blogs and such it seems a lot of the people commenting are wanting wifi tablets only a lot too. So That could be part of it. Also until they have a shared data plan, cause who wants to pay for 2 data plans, i don't see my self paying for 3g even if it had the radio to do it.
However, for business use i would like one with 3g in it. Since i wouldn't trust people to know how to tether much less have a phone that can tether. So in this case simpler is much better. So for business use i will need to look at a different product which makes me sad. and if the treasurer for our non-profit has her way it will be a ipad ... which makes me very very sad. So a 3G model would have been awesome as well.

Correct me if i am wrong, but 3G isn't like cellular networks right? It has to be someone certain radio signal to work correctly meaning you have to work with that company ( be it at&t t-mobile version or sprint or who ever).
Like why the at&t iphone will work on t-moblie but it doesn't have t-moblies radios so you can't get 3G.
And say they just put AT&T radios in with out asking for whatever ( i don't know if you can do that or if it even matters, but just say they did) if at&T didn't want to support the device they could just block the device and not sell plans to it.
So i don't think it is just as easy as "unlocked 3G"
The dock has a USB port, so just connect a mobile data dongle to it?

Can android interpret the data dongle natively?(like Linux (at least it did on Linux Mint last time i tired)) or will a custom app need to be made for it to work if it works at all? (like windows). it is a interesting idea though. If it doesn't work out of the box (i doubt it but never know) someone should really make an app that will make it work. Since i already have a data dongle thing somewhere. lol
Sprint might be getting it if you look at their CES invite the folds look just like that origami screen cover!

I'm not the best source about this information, so please excuse me if I'm wrong. But I thought that most 3G were on similar frequencies, and therefore it would be easy to make a 3G antenna which could communicate on all of them. The reason why I ask, is that I had a T-Mobile Android phone and brought it to the UK a few months ago, and can use it on any network here (since it's unlocked), and only have to change the network operators (or something like that, I can't exactly recall) info so it connects to the right towers. And it works perfectly fine. If I can do that with a crappy old Android phone, why couldn't it be done with Transformer?
But on the whole, I agree with you. It's so much cheaper to buy a tethering plan for most phones than it would be to give it its own 3G service, that for most people just doing a wireless hotspot with their phone would make more sense. But it's still a legitimate question for some people

I know that Archos uses a dongle that slides into the tablet that is powered by USB, so it's not impossible. But I don't know if it's naively implanted.
And if not, maybe some dev's can port the software from the archos devices to the prime to get a USB dongle to work.
I will personally use a wifi modem, that way it doesn't even use the battery of the tab, and I could share the connexion with whoever I want.
I just put my phone in hotspot mode when I need a connection and Wifi is not available. But in that last 2 years I have only had to do that 3 or 4 times. I don't see any need for 3/4g, and the associated extra costs, in a tablet.
Personally I would never pay extra for a 3g version and then have to pay a monthly fee on top of that. In Canada at least the monthly fee is not that cheap.
I wonder if there are stats on how many of each of the ipad models were sold? The original and ipad2 were both released with a 3g model at launch right? It would be interesting to see how big the 3g market is
Probably just to keep costs down. And I honestly don't view 3G as a must do thing. It'll be a while before people start to see data plans attached to devices as a given. Right now, if I need internet while I'm out and about with my tablet I just set up my phone as a hotspot. It's still a bit rare when I feel the need for internet when I'm not at home (most of the time I'll be reading or watching things already stored) but it came in handy while waiting in line for Black Friday.
as the prime is already available for some, could you please test if a 3G dongle works? my interest is not so much in internet connectivity but using mobile TV which only works via 3G here and not over a wifi connection due to legal requirements..
I heard somewhere that they don't because it's not a very popular market. They are aware most people have data plans on their phones and don't want to spend extra on a separate plan for a tablet. Plus most people will just tether from there phones if they need to connect out of wifi range.
3G would be nice in theory, but I wouldn't be willing to pay for another data subscription when I already have one for my phone.
3G does indeed run on different frequencies. especially in the US, it's a giant clusterfuck of various bands that carriers use as well as completely different technologies for it.
verizon and sprint both use CDMA and different freq
tmobile and at&t both use GSM (like most of europe) at run at different freq. (it's the reason an unlocked iphone will work on tmobile, but you won't get 3g on it.)
for asus to come out with a 3g (or 4g) enabled tablet in the states, it would mean working with some provider to support and sell it, which asus being such a small player would be tough to get any of the big providers to get on board.
one solution would be to install a quad or penta band gsm radio in it (like the galaxy nexus) and let people use it however they want, but then cost comes into play.
personally, i've never seen the draw to 3g enabled tablets, as most people who have one also have a smartphone that they can probably tether to the device.
if i really wanted to get 3g and not tether in some way, i'd probably rather get a hotspot for the same price (service wise) and not use up my tablets battery powering the radio and also be able to connect multiple devices to it.
maybe i shouldn't have replied to this thread but created a new one
what i asked is whether a 3G dongle would work (similar to what archos does), but i guess not
asus could support that and not care about a 3G tablet version, only put the drivers and apps into the firmware.
3G connectivity is cheap in austria, unlimited data plan (without throttle) with 10mbit/s for 15 euros/month (or even much cheaper with throttle), but as i said, i'd only need it for mobile TV.

The U.S. isn't like the rest of the world. With the exception of Asus, all the manufacturers offer both 3G and Wi-Fi versions of their tablets. Some of what's available in the U.S. are adaptations of those. And data plans in a lot of countries aren't as expensive and don't lock you in to two-year contracts making 3G much more popular outside the U.S.
Asus said in the spring they'd launch a 3G version of the TF1. In November, they sent them out to reviewers. It's still not released and may never be. Apparently, Asus isn't big on 3G.

I have a HSPA+ 21 UK tablet that I use on AT&T. It's $20 a month with unlimited data and MMS because it's just another non-smartphone on my account. Tethering is a pain in the ass. Get out the phone, turn on Wi-Fi sharing, connect the tablet, disconnect the tablet, turn off Wi-Fi sharing. If you forget the last thing you're phone's battery is shot. It's shot anyway becasue Wi-Fi sharing's a huge drain. Connecting a tablet after it's been offline's also a pain while you wait for everything to sync before you can start using it. With all the carriers (except Sprint) starting to throttle for excessive usage splitting data over two devices keeps each devices data usage down. I'm usually at 4-6GB a month on both my phone and tablet individually. It's great when you're traveling to be able just whip the tablet out quickly and start using it. I'm not selling anyone on the idea of 3G but it has its advantages.
And there's zero chance the Prime has a GSM radio in it. It wasn't shown in the tear down and wasn't in the sample sent to the FCC for clearance.
yea i had a xoom and phone and it was too much to pay for data so now im just goona hotspot it and not pay $40 for something i dont need.
Might sound like a strange question but im wondering how many of you folks use mobile broadband on the Prime and if so how fast is it?
On my laptop which has 4GB RAM sometimes it fast other times it can crawl along so im just trying to get an idea how fast it would be on the Prime?
(Yeah i know different broadband providers/different speeds but just a general question)
Looking forward to getting mine hopefully soon!
Thanks

By "broadband" do you mean 3G? If so, the Prime's not offered with 3G. If you mean throughput, some Speed Test's have shown the Prime getting upwards of 20MB download speeds when connected to Wi-Fi.

It doesn't have 3G/4G. If you use a 3G/4G WiFi sharing device, then you could use it like you are talking about. I'm not sure about using a USB 3G/4G device on the Prime, it might be possible.
i use a t-mobile wifi hotspot, it works just as fast as any other wifi device connecting to it, all very dependent on the network connection... that's your bottleneck, not the prime

It's a 2.0 usb port so I would think so. It should have full functionality.
I use sprint connection via htc evo hotspot, it gets the job done for websurfing and programs needing general data, but I haven't tried it for streaming video or youtube. It is generally faster than what I'd get at like a cafe.

Android doesn't have the greatest of compatibility with 3G dongles due to drivers. No guarantee this would work.
The best solutions at the moment are tethering to your Mobile Phone (If you have a suitable one with a decent data plan), or Purchasing a Broadband sim with a Wifi Hotspot device (Like a USB 3G dongle, although it broadcasts a wireless network which you connect the prime to for internet access).

OP, the only way you're going to get broadband on the prime is wifi. Meaning you have to tether it to a phone or a mobile hotspot.
if you going to tether, just Google for the Barnacle apk and wireless tether apk. both work flawlessly. barnacle is like the hotspots one and wireless tether does a single connection. either way both work and you don't have to pay for an extra tethering plan to use it of you already have a data plan.

Your exactly right, I shouldn't have answered. I thought the micro sim would go into micro sd slot.
Hey all -
My friend just bought an HTC Rezound to with a 2GB (4GB due to their current promo) data plan. He plans on using it as his main internet connection at his house over the summer because up there, they don't have cable internet or DSL available. Anyone have any input on what the best setup (ROM wise and app wise) would be for him to achieve this? I'm a little worried because I've seen some people saying Verizon can charge you for teathering (I'm currently on Sprint and have never had this problem on a rooted device) even if you use are rooted and use a 3rd party app. Is that true? If he has a custom rooted ROM, and uses something like android wi-fi teather, he should be fine right? How could they tell the data is going to a desktop vs. being displayed through his phones browser?
Anyone?

I really don't think you can tether for free with any of the ROMs out now. I just came from a droid 3 and could tether after hacking the radio, but haven't seen anything like that for the rezound. Tethering does come in handy once in a while. Anyone have any success tethering for free?

I believe there are at least two threads that deal with this at xda, so search "rezound wifi tether" on Google and you should get many hits. Search is your friend.
However, the long and the short is, GB ROMs will allow adhoc wifi tethering and ICS ROMs allow infrastructure tethering.
If you don't understand the difference, I wouldn't suggest messing with your friend's Rezound until you've done some research.

There are currently no wifi hotspot hacks to allow what your friend is looking for. If he's smart he'll pay for wifi hotspot and get unlimited data in the process(plenty of info on that). Otherwise as stated above, ad-hoc tether is available for GB and infrastructure tether for ICS.

So are you saying that VZW can tell if you use ad-hoc or infrastructure tether? I canceled my mhs because it was basically useless. Haven't asked for a refund since I figured I was getting what I paid for a little at a time and I thought they didn't know...

Nope, I was just saying that there isn't a hack for free MHS. You can only do 1-to-1 device tethering without MHS. As far as we currently know ad-hoc and infrastructure tethering is still not detectable.
I know At&t was pulling "We know you are tethering" claims with all the iPhone users when I was with them. That said I don't see how they could claim this with android with the option to use Firefox+Phony to change how you see the webpage.
I tether all the time for free
