Hey guys,
I have a little problem. I ordered an OBD2 Wifi Dongle for reading fault codes of my car. I chose a Wifi adapter because some of my family members are iOS users so they can use it, too.
The dongle is working fine, connected it with my windows tablet and could read the fault codes of my ford mondeo.
With my device (htc one m9 running LOS15.1) I can connect the wifi to the dongle but I can't get connection to the specific port.
The default address and port is 192.168.0.10:35000. I can ping the adapter but even a port check on my device does not work.
I've read something about, that android can't connect/handle ad-hoc networks correctly? Is this still a problem in android 8.1?
I already tried to give my phone a static address but no success.
Do you have an idea what I need to change/edit or what I can do?
Thank you
Regards,
Dominic
Hi all
I recently ordered a Xtron 10.1" head unit. TE103AP
Question is , how does the internet dongle work on the unit?
Yes it plug in to USB , but does it just make a WiFi hotspot and I connect the radio to it via WiFi, or does it have a app like on a PC. Where the internet works trough the USB with a app , so you can see the signal strength and USSD codes to check data balance.
Hope someone has used this and can help me. I dont want to order a dongle if its just a WiFi hotspot.
Thanx
On this unit with DSP https://androidautoshop.com/2-din-s...32gb-entertainment-system.html#/26-map-europe
i just connected the 4G modem and it worked. automatically. On xtrons you might need to connecto to it by wifi
I have been in contact with xtrons support and they said wifi only
I'm not sure if that is an android (rom) limitation or a usb stick limitation
When connecting the dongle to computer, the driver software gives you option to change it from wifi to usb. The driver remembers the setting, but the stick defaults to wifi when plug into another machine
Going to do some more testing with other 3g and 4g sticks and also see if can change the default on the stick
I was also disappointed to find it only worked as hotspot. I was hoping to try and setup as dongle for data and wifi for odb
I did some testing with another 4g usb and it was detected as a modem (or whatever it is). Had to use an app from the play store to modify the apn though. As previously found with these type of headunits, the usb is underpowered and I found the usb device would lose power after a minute or two and then reconnect (also had usb dab and 4gdong001 plugged in at same time)

Which other 4G USB dongle did you use?
Which Play store app did you use to configure it?
Did you manage to make it run stable and not get lost after 1-2 minutes?
Cheers!
I had the same issue.Was not able to get my Huawei 4G dongle working on my Xtrons device..
That is why I am now using a spare phone I had. I installed the app Automate and made a new Flow.
Phone is now connected to the unit by USB. And every time I start thecar,USB gets power. Then the phone is triggers by Automate to start Hotspot.
That way my Xtrons unit as Wifi connection..Works great

Hey bud the 4G dongle is a modem the back slides out and a simcard goes in. It gives you two different sizes options small and large if you look properly. It may look like it just plugs into a USB port but the back does slide of. Hope this helps.
Also once you plug it into your Extrons android head unit you have to go to internet settings select the 4G dongle then put on the security codes writing on the back of the dongle. Make sure you have credit on your simcard or it won't work.
Your Extrons android head unit should have a built-in WiFi antenna for internet hot spot or your WiFi at your house. There's different ways you can connect the internet to your android head unit. You can even Shere your phone WiFi data to it by pairing your phone and by making your phone act as a modern.. you will have to find your phone through the head unit maybe instead of the other way round to make that way work. I find the 4G dongle easier to connect than rather trying to use my phone as a modem.
Just download PPP Widget from PlayStore, work a charm with Huawei 4G Dongles.
What SIM card/provider is useable in the U.S.?

Just been trying to figure out what provider to use here In the states to get my 4g dongle to work on my 10.1
This 4gdong001 works as lte modem in Europe? My ones says service restricted when i try to start the 4g connection into band 20 or 3!
On my case I just cloned my SIM as I have a very good data plan (30GB) and bought a small usb 4g modem (Alcatel Mw40v), I just have to turn on the wifi hotspot when at the car and the my head unit connects automatically (Atoto M6). The router disconnects when unused for some time to save the battery.
Mine does have an app but I don't really need it, I just used it for the initial configuration, been there for more than 6months now and works wonderfully (I use music stream a lot).
Dongle is working intermittently
Hello Guys,
I am new here and I have an issue with a dongle stick on a Android 8.0 head unit.
I have a Huawei 3g dongle that I want o use it at an Dasaita Android head unit. I connected the dongle and it worked fine without doing any configuration. It worked fine for one day, the next day it didn't connect to internet. I unplug and plug it in again , the dongle's led is flashing but is not connecting. What could be the cause? Thanks for helping and sorry if the question was already asked.

Strange Head unit and 4G doungle......
I think everybody had an issue.... One day everthink is working fine, and the next day nothing working....
More useres bought a USB modedm, with wifi hot spot. Set the doungle with PC. Connect the Doungle to head unit. If it is connected fine, use Modem, if not connected connect with Wifi....
WiFi dongles require expensive data plan
The issue I have with using a 4G WiFi hotspot instead of a real 4G dongle, is that I can't set the WiFi connection to 'metered'. Most apps will only do certain tasks through WiFi, to save cellular data. Podcasts, Play Store updates, offline maps, etc. can all be configured to use WiFi only.
So when I used the Xtrons 4G dongle (which has to be used as a hotspot) for a month, I received an incredible invoice from my telco. Getting a big data plan just for my car does not make sense; it's enough if it syncs only when it's parked on my driveway using my home wifi.
So if anyone got a real 4G dongle to work on an Xtrons unit (I have the PX5 Android 8), i would be interested in the brand and model. And also if the unit will see it as cellular instead of WiFi.

What connection goes out? Just 4G(what carrier)? I have been trying to make mine(United States) work with Verizon since I got it, but though it connects to verizon it never gets data. I believe it's hardcode(locked) to T-Mobile or maybe GSM in the head unit. T-Mobile worked first try with no issues. If I ever root I'll look to swap out some system packages to see if that works, but in the mean time it's more pet peeve that it sees it but won't work as I have a spare verizon sim with shared data just doing nothing. I have my hotspot connection to my unlimited phone automated and that works nearly flawlessly.
To be Fair to the Seller(IDoing) they told me up front it only worked with T-Mobile.
the WIFI connection ! ( established through a 4G LTE WIFI modem ) ( NOS-carrier) mobile Sim card - only data )
I had no "notice " of any incompatibility from the seller ( in fact I bought all items from them precisely to assure compatibility ! )
I´m waiting on a friend to bring his new HOTSPOT to see if that works ...
if there was any limitation on the carrier SIM it would also not through the smartphone hotpspot connection ....right ? ( it does ! )
