Without rooting the device and enabling usb debugging, will using a usb modem work if i plug in with the help of USB OTG for getting 3g/4g internet? . the usb modem does nto require username/ass to connect to internet. So as long it is detected and drivers loaded it should work.
I need to know about it so that i can send it to my parents.
I cant answer you actual question only a suggestion should it not work.
Get them a 3g router like a mifi. Powered by batterys or usb and allows multiple devices to connect too.

Hello all,
I'm currently attempting to have my Nexus 7 be both connected to the internet via a USB to ethernet lead while also being charged.
I'm able to do each of these individually but when I attempt to use a random USB hub i have to hand I am unable to get both to work, the charging works but the ethernet does not.
When I connect straight through (OTG Cable to USB to ethernet converter) it works fine, however, when going through the USB Hub (with the power for charging disconnected) comms is achieved (ethernet switch is flashing) but I can't connect to the internet. This leads me to believe there is something specific I require for the USB hub.
Do I require the USB hub to be something special to enable this/ is this scenario even possible for me to achieve?
Cheers for the help.
My wife has a Galaxy S5 with Foxfi purchased. I can use it on one computer and its fine. She tries to connect it to hers and it wont stay connected. I am using the cable that came with it and connecting to a usb 3.0 port. Any ideas what setting maybe different from on computer to the next? Hers is a Toshiba Satellite U840. I have a LG G2 I just tried and it works for a minute or two and then loses connection. Doesnt matter what usb port its connected to and I tried to look at all power settings on laptop.
I can connect my V20 to a Windows PC via USB cable, and transfer files back and forth. I had to pick something on a menu the first time I plugged in the phone.
However, if I plug a USB stick directly into the V20, it does not recognize it, or respond at all. My friend plugs the same USB stick into his V10 and an app pops up and shows the folders.
I'm using a micro-USB to USB-C adapter on the stick to plug into the V20. I know the adapter works, because I tested it when connecting to the PC.
I have searched settings for "USB" and it only comes up with USB tethering.
This is an AT&T stock phone, using the stock launcher. No root or anything.
Any idea how to get the USB recognized on the V20? Thanks.
it might be that the USB host function doesn't work with those adapters. have you tried plugging in a USBC to USB adapter and plugging a flash drive into that?

I've tried the same thing without success. My note 3 & 4 worked fine. I also had a Note 7 and Nexus 6P and it didn't work with those either.
has there been any advancement on this issue?
Did anyone find the answer to this? My V20 used to boot up a USB stick but just stopped working one day.
Can anyone suggest how to make windows 10 recognize the phone when connected via USB cable?

Which cable are you using for connection to the computer? the cable that comes with the phone is for charging only, you'll need a data cable for connection.
Some users have reported issues when flashing or sideloading using a USB 2.0 cable. The cable included with PH-1 is USB 2.0 and is primarily intended for charging. If you're flashing or sideloading PH-1, we recommend using a high-quality, spec-compliant USB 3.0 (or higher) cable.
ive used both 2.0 and 3.0, but never the 3.1 USB C style. never had an issue, but some of the cables look premium and are cheap crap that connect and disconnect on a whim because the pins arent contacting unless the cable is perfectly straight
I'm using this cable: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N5KL10L/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It is supposed to be a data cable and looks pretty decent.
Are any special drivers required ? ( I have installed the USB driver found on the Essential support page but no dice)
I have those same cables, they are a bit touchy when it comes to staying connected especially in a USB 2.0 port. Make sure you're using a 3.0 port and once it connects, don't move it much. Not a great solution I know but what can you do.
I tend to leave Device Manager open when I install new hardware. It often helps understand the sequence of things. Do you hear the Windows Device Connected Sound? If nothing is showing up there, it's the USB cable
Well.. I got my phone last Wednesday and I just got the issue when I got USB3.0 to USB C cable last Friday. (my main PCs do not have USB-C port)
The symptom is;
connecting USB cable and change connection mode to "file transfer" or MTP, it looked going to connect, but actually failed or disconnected when I tried browse the device or copy files.
After few research, I could resolve the issue.
Here are the what I did.
First, I have to download and install USB driver from Essential home page. (check "Essential Developers" page. I cannot add link here yet because I'm newbie here.)
Second, Now I got connection, but still the connection was unstable especially when I copied big files (about 200~300MB or more). The issue could be resolved after turning on "Disable USB audio routing" option in "Developer Options". (You should enable the "Developer Options" first)
Third, Now I have no problem on Windows PC connection, but I got a problem with Ubuntu 16.04. And I have found the it happens only when I connect it via USB hub. After connecting to PC directly, the issue has gone.
I have no problem on USB connection with my PCs now.
