I have a Xoom Wi-Fi which is gradually becoming more and more useful for me when travelling. I now find that I use my work laptop on the train less than ever. The only thing I miss is web access.
I have a business Orange mobile internet account using a ZTE MF363 USB modem.
Is there anyway that I can get this to work with my Xoom.
If so what software and cable do Ineed?
i read somewhere before in xda that huawei modem can. but i tried with no hope.
i hope dev from xoom makes this happen because i need it too. i tried the launchpad kernel with usbwwan but with no success.
i already try using usb_modeswitch from to switch the dev to zerocd mode and
able to mount too ttyUSB0 and so on.
but i unable to connect using pppd.
i don't know what i am doing wrong
is there anybody that could makes this happen.
i am using CDMA base modem.(huawei exactly)
i dont know what i am lost there.

Hey Android world,
I want to connect my MT4G through my works internet connection via USB.
I work at a nuclear plant with a lot of metal inside resulting in no service. I would like to have a fully functional phone via my works internet connection. Our computer systems at the plant do not have wireless cards and it is impossible to create an ADHOC network. Also, additional software is not allowed to be installed on the computer due to strict system admin rights.
Is there an app or setting out there that can allow me to preform this function?
Please help.
as far as I know IMHO there currently is no app out there that can help you. But if your local System Admins don't mind a side step in the internet connection at your work I would suggest using a wireless router, preferably one that you can use LAN and Wifi, that way your computer stays connected and YOU stay connected to your life using wifi and wifi calling. bout the best answer I can give you bud. and the router shouldn't require any extra software to be installed on the computer therefor bypassing your strict Comp Admin Rights. Hope this helps ya a bit!

Well, if you are rooted and able to flash roms, then I believe there is an option in the desire based rom's made by evil and gr8 that enables you to use the computers internet on the phone via USB. I haven't used the roms in a while, so idk for certain if this will work. Might be worth a shot, tho.

It's called internet pass-through. I see it as an option on Evil's Virtuous Fusion Rom when I connect to USB, but I can't seem to get it to work. Has anyone found a way to make this work?

I tried the Royal Penache ROM just to try out the Internet Pass-Through option. And yes, it worked awesome. Give it a try.
You have to download HTC sync for the internet passthrough to work... And it does work

Hi,
I have been using Xperia for a year. Came across some strange thought and wanted to know if that is possible.
We all know that we can connect our phone to internet using WiFi.
All that I want now is:
Is it possible to connect my phone to internet using cable from PC.
We in general connect PC to internet using phone as a modem. How about vice versa. Any ideas on it. I want to get connected for good speed from PC to phone using cable, as I do not have WiFi.
Let me know your thoughts.
Perhaps you are looking for this? No idea if it actually works, but it sounds like what you need:

It sounds like fun to try, but I can't really come up with the use of it . But i'm sure you got plenty of ideas
Why don't you just get a wireless router, and connect through that? Seems like less of a hassle to me
Hi,
I'm not sure whether it's good thing to open one thread related to two problems but I haven't got better idea how to put it.
Main problem:
Since I have acquired my GT540 I'm still searching for the solution for reverse tethering. My operator doesn't have decent data plan, quite often I'm out of any wifi range and currently I'm completely out of wireless.
So I'm left with workable USB connection and Bluetooth. Which leads us to...
Secondary problem:
I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835912 and solution proposed there is quite feasible to me as usbnet still seems to be song of the future and I'm using Linux on the host PC anyway. But when I tried to implement it, I learned that PPP is not enabled in my kernel, which understandably derailed my plan. I use CM7 by Mur4ik.
The question then is, can I somehow painlessly enable this PPP support?
Or could someone politely nudge Mur4ik to enable it in the next release of SwiftDroid? (I don't have sufficient rights to post in devel forum myself)
Or, is there another, working way of getting net access for my phone?
Cheers.
So, you don't have Wireless Adapter or WiFi to put on your desktop and share the internet?
I have tested to share the PC internet connection via USB to GT540 and i never did it...
I bought a WiFi AP and now I use the GT540 with Wireless on my entire house, i think its better than USB.
As I mentioned, sometimes I have wireless access but recently I'm stuck without. Besides, in this most recent cm7-m6 adhoc networking doesn't work either.
Yes, I think too that having wifi coverage in home is nice but the problem I stated is what to do WHEN you don't have it.
Is there any driver for connecting a 3G USB stick like the Huawei E1750 to the transformer or will there be developed a driver in the future?

Doubtful that any 3G USB devices will ever work on android tablets. You are better off getting a 3g hotspot device or something that can tether via bluetooth.
werd my work pays for my Verizon Mifi so I have internets wherever I go, just coming back from a 12 hour drive on vacaction, it's a lovely device to carry around with me.

So I guess it's a matter of time
Guys, one question bit off topic:
I was waiting for this tablet that will come out tomorrow here in Portugal.
But if it doesnt have USB on the Tablet (for usb internet stick) neither sim card internet, how can i connect it to internet without the dock?
Yes, i want to buy the dock because thats also why i want this tablet, but my point is: if i wanna use google maps to visit places and have live points of interest, pictures and directions do i need to carry the dock?
If anyone with the tablet could make this clear to me i would appreciate.
You can use your Android Mobile as a WiFi hotspot. If you have one.
Yes connectivity ONLY works with dock. Or use tethering with your phone + eee pad

Has anyone tried applying the changes from the first thread to a Transformer ?
Now we can safely debrick devices with NVFlash I may give it a try.
-- EDIT --
OK, after doing a Nandroid backup, I've individually backed up the files affected and applied everything from the 3g-a500-v1.zip file apart from build.prop.
For build.prop I've backed up the original and added the following lines at the bottom.
WW_epad.3g=true
rild.libpath=/system/lib/libhuawei-ril.so
rild.libargs=-d /dev/ttyUSB2
ro.pad.features.modem=true
to the end. (I'm not sure about the "WW_epad" bit of that first line)
After changes, tablet seems to boot OK and wifi networking is unaffected.
However it turns out today is the day I DIDN'T put my huawei E160 modem in my bag. DOH
Actually trying it with the modem will have to wait till I get home from work.
To be continued...
I have been reading the thread in the Dev forum about using a USB modem dongle on the A500. I have a novatel u760 usb modem for Verizon and was wondering if anyone has had any luck getting it to work in Dexter's 3.1 rom? I have been trying to get it working with no luck I think, it maybe a kernel driver problem. If anyone could help it would be much appreciated Thanks.
Well I have been able to turn off the mass storage and set the modem to zerocd using the Verizon software. When I plug it in the green light comes on but it still will not find a network? I will keep trying and update this post of I am able to get it working.
it looks like this isn't going to work unless someone can create a kernel module for this modem I wish I could do more but I don't have a lot of experience with Linux.
Willing to donate to someone that can help get this working
I have the Novatel Ovation mc547 usb Modem that I would like to use as well.
Problem is I am completely clueless on this topic.
OK, I have a Novatel MC760 from Virgin Mobile that I would like to use but I am so new to this stuff (Just ordered my first Android device) I dont know what to do.
Novatel MC760 USB modem?
Would the information in the following link be useful to a developer?

Tried to accomplished the same thing. Lots of fustration. Opted for the Zoom 3G Travel Wireless router instead. Works perfectly. The USB760 connects to the VZ network. You then share that via WiFi to other devices. Battery powered.
