Question: USB Wifi - how do you get it to work??
=================================================
I just tried the newest Android RemixOS as of Jan 25 2017. I read some of what you all have here and I was very impressed with your knowledge, however I have no idea what some of this stuff means even though I can regedit.exe and toss code around in C# and VB.NET and use Framework like a boss. Meaning, if I had the exact steps to fix my problem that would be GREAT!
* My problem, I only have a USB Wifi, my USB keboard and mouse work fine but RemixOS Marshmello will not work together. It just shows the Wifi off and when I click the toggle button to turn it on it just scans. Advanced under Wifi has nothing I can work with.
I heard that the problem -used- to be that USB was not supported at all but my keyboard and mouse work. So is there anything I can do to make the USB Wifi work, I have no internal Wifi for this computer -or- is that the best solution, just get an internal Wifi board that supports 2.4Ghz (which I read somewhere was the other problem, only 2.4Ghz is supported). Also I have no access to my Landlords Wifi so I am unable to play around with it.
Follow up Question: What is rooting and why is it better and why doesn't RemixOS just make everything rooted (since it sounds better and everyone wants RemixOs this way)? Rooted sounds to me like its, "written in stone" but it sounds like it makes it so people can get access to things?
** I already installed RemixOS Jan 2017 version if I have to Root do I uninstall RemixOS first, if so how do you install it from your PC if it made your system into a dual boot?
** Or do you all mean uninstall RemixOS then edit the ISO and put the mentioned code for init() into the init.sh file? is that the Trick?
*** Additionally for anyone that doesn't understand what I said above cuz I am sure I am clear as Mud on my questions. My Wifi is a stick, that is attached to a USB cord that then goes into the Back of my computer into a USB 3.0 port. I have no internal Wifi board and the motherboard is 6 years old and doesn't have much integreated into it except sound, maybe grafx VGA but I installed a RX 780 for a good graphics card.
*** I also forgot to mention it dual boots just fine, just no internet. Thx!
same here, im using TL-WN723N_V3 and wifi always keep searching.

Generally, wifi adapter connected using USB should work. It maybe a problem with particular adapter type not having driver in kernel or something like that. You can check output of "dmesg" command if it says something about the adapter. For example I'm using quite cheap usb wifi adapter Tenda (W311U+) and it works directly without any intervention.

Hi
How is there a way tu use my computer internet on my Hero throught the USB connection ??
Thanks
I'm sure there is, but wouldn't be easier to use bluetooth or wifi connection for that?
like some el cheapo USB dongle with AP mode... or maybe to buy new modem with wifi... or... don't know. access point?

Do you mean use the Hero "tethered" as a modem for the computer? If so the answer (at least for UK Heros) is yes.
First of all make sure you have HTC Sync on your computer. Then do the following:
1 Make sure your phone’s data connection is turned on.
2. Connect the phone to the computer using the USB cable.
3. Press HOME > MENU, and then tap Settings > Wireless controls.
4. Select the Mobile network sharing check box.
@peterc10, I think the OP means the opposite (ie. tethering the Hero to a computer via USB), but I'm not sure.
Certainly, putting it on your wireless network (or getting one) would be an easier option, and it wouldn't require any cables. As a bonus, you can use your home internet from all round the house with the device.
@schlagg, any reason the wireless suggestion wouldn't work. Personally, I think it would be a lot easier to set up.

I wasn't sure either, hence my first question. I don't know whether you can do it the other way around, and I have wifi at home so don't need to anyway.
I guess we will have to wait for the OP to tell us which they meant.

no particular reason
just being curious
my wifi connection works well ...
but sometimes, i manage to go to some friends who don't have wifi
with my previous winmo, it was possible without any configuration, so just wondering if its the same here
i was actually wondering about the same thing..i dont have a wifi router and i dont think i'll be getting one soon anw since it wont "work" on my house... we have multiple floors and we prefer cables kinda
anw can i access the internet through USB?
No, this is not possible. The USB hardware in the Hero is that of a USB Slave (or USB Device, like a printer or camera.) In order for it to get internet access from this port, it would have to be set up as a USB Host, like your computer is. If you 'adb shell' into your phone and run "ls /dev/" you won't see any USB devices there.
If I'm wrong, I apologize, but I'm 99% sure this is the case.
EDIT: I think the best option would be to get a USB Bluetooth dongle for your computer. You can get one for like $15. Maybe less.

Nope. Quote from manual
"The phone supports the following Bluetooth profiles: Headset, Handsfree, A2DP, and AVRCP."
AFAIK none of those will enable you to use the computer as a modem. The first two are self explanatory. A2DP allows movement of stereo music files. AVRCP stands for "Audio/Video Remote Control Profile" which allows your phone to act as a remote control
Are there any usb to serial devices that work on the gtablet? I'd like to be able to use my GTab to access the serail consoles on my SUN servers. I'd much rather carry it around than my 5 pound laptop or even my netbook.
Moved to general.

I'd like to know as well. I want to use my gtab to config cisco devices.

pershoot's kernel works. I have hooked up my USB GPS which looks like a COM port. Problem is I can't coax VEGAn 5.1.1 to actually use it. Now that I've switched to gingerbread I may have to try again.

I have a conversion interface to try....is there an android terminal app lit bit term or something?
That's what I can't find. The only thing I can find is in the market only works with a BT port. I worked with mine from a console using STTY and cat /dev/ttyUSB0.
So I am either going to wind up writing something or....
did you make any progress on this? i have a usb to serial dongle that i would like to use to configure switches/etc....
my tab recognizes the dongle but i have yet to find a program to connect using the dongle...
I too was thinking about this for configuring Cisco switches and routers. I went a head and ordered a USB to serial connection. But like the other members were saying what app can we use to login into the ios? wtb putty for android
Any progress on writing something for USB GPS?

You can contact user herbert1 on this board. As long as the USB serial GPS outputs either NMEA or SiRF data--both standard data formats--he should be able to get your GPS working for you.
See this post where he's helped us out. You might, in fact, be able to just use the custom alpha apk from there and get everything working by just changing the serial port in the app and setting the correct permissions on /dev/ttyUSB0.
First off, thanks guys for figuring out how to root the GP4.2. It is my first android anything after finally passing on my itouch to someone else.
I am using PCLinuxOS with gnome and my only hangup so far is trying to get the GP42 recognized as a USB MS device. Currently I am getting around this by WiFi and SFTP to the device but I would really prefer faster USB cable connections.
Plugging in the USB cable starts charging but I never get the USB MASS STORAGE app popup like I do in WinXP.
I looked on the forums here and can not find much info on the GP4.2.
Is there a toggle app for the USB MS mode that will run on this player or something built in?

Go to Settings -> Wireless and network -> USB settings
Choose Mass storange
Now connect to your computer using your cable. After few seconds there will be a button on the screen, press it, now your computer should see the device's internal (and external, if exists) sd card as a normal usb flash drive.
Not quite that easy
The problem is that I am using Linux and the above only works in Windows with the Samsung Driver installed.
Linux is not triggering the popuup! I was asking if there is a way to manually trigger that very popup, because I have those settings already and it works in XP.
Perhaps there is a Call or command I can do from a shortcut or the commandline in terminal (I have busybox and a Terminal emulator on my Player).
WiFi is just SOOOOO slow!

Hello, I recently have been going nuts with booting different OS's on my Windows PC, and came across good ole' Android!
There are just a few things keeping me from using it a lot more.
1. Internet Connectivity
Is there a way to use the laptop's built-in WIFi adapter as the "Android's" default adapter? Or would an external USB adapter be the way to go? I've tried USB Tethering on my fiance's Galaxy J1 but it says "No USB devices attached". This would be a big one to figure out for sure!
2. App Compatibility
I'm able to install and use some APK's i've copied from my other devices just fine, but some of them won't start up, force closing immediately. I figured with Android 4.4 most apps should be (and are) able to run okay, but I get about a 50/50 rate of the ones installed on PC working and not. Would there be a way to get around this? I'm no expert by any means but one of the things floating around my head was through editing the "build.prop" of the PC-booted Android.
Hi, I tried plugin my Pocophone to ethernet through a USB c to A adapter and then a USB to ethernet one. I was hoping to be able to connect myself to the LAN network like that. It should work, except it didn't. A friend tried with a Galaxy A series phone and it worked, so the problem is with my phone and not the adapter.
Before anyone starts shouting at me, yes I followed what I could find on Google, that is Settings>Additionnal Settings>Developer Options>Select USB configuration and set it to RNDIS(USB Ethernet). Except when you choose that option, it just does not register it and stays on whatever it was before.
Audio source and MIDI don't register either. And changing options won't always work the first time.
So... anyone has a solution to plug my phone to ethernet?
It does not work on my phone too(Pocophone, miui 10 global beta rom). I have an C-type lan adapter, but when I plug in the lan port it does not work, regardless of what I do with developer options. Is there anyone who knows an app to use ethernet?
i think u can try it from developer options ==> networking ==> select usb configuration ==>RNDIS

The first screenshot is of my first post and ooh... I already tried what you said... I find it a bit stupid not to read more than the title and see that the *solution* and the exact steps to recreate the issue are listed.
The second screenshot shows that RNDIS is no longer a visible option at all in this menu in MIUI 10. So I have no idea what you're talking about.
I have read it might be a limitation of the USB 2.0 port Xiaomi uses.
But i got this. i'm still on Oreo rom 10.0.4.0

Yes, but once again, as I say in my original post, the option was there but did not actually work. Did you try turning off WiFi, Bluetooth and 4G and just connect via rj45 adaptor to the internet ?

Yes. That didn't solve the problem. I also tried turning on Airplane Mode, but It didn't work also.
Also, there was no RNDIS on select usb configuration. Probably because I updated to beta rom.

Hmm.....
There is a simillar post on https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/enabling-ethernet-usb-otg-t3220476
I wonder it works on pocophone too. Is there somebody who can try it?(I want to do this myself but it's my main phone and I can't risk it.)
I'm having the same issue, got a USB type C to RJ 45 adaptor, doesn't connect. I checked with a third party app and saw that the adapter was detected, however I didn't get any internet. I tried all the usual stuff (turning off WiFi, turning on airplane mode, etc). So anybody got a solution?
