I have a USB 3g modem plugged into HTC magic's USB port. What else I need to do to get Android recognize the 3g modem for web surfing? Any good pointer for the topic?
Thanks!
What the hell?
I dont think thats how it works brother.
it is a 3g device.....why need to connect to a modem?
also it is not a usb host port
lol
You are Asking for USB Host Connectivity which is still not Possible on any Mobile on earth to Adopt a USB modem for Browsing (Technically possible though)

i can't believe that. i would think most people would just take the sim card out of the modem and put it in their phone, but that's just me.
modem and phone working on different bands?
if you have a laptop, turn the wifi on to adhoc mode. connect the phone there on the adhoc network.
Probably what you are looking for is wireless tether.

If you are looking to get internet, connect the wifi. But you should have a data plan with your phone, so I doubt what you want to do is to share internet from a usb modem, but I could be crazy.
This post just made what was a really crappy day....better. Thanks to the OP

Anyone tried connecting a USB 3G USB dongle with the G-tab? Will they work?
I'm thinking of getting one of these to put inside my G-tab if I can find a place inside that will fit.

You know, I think this might be possible.

The specs on this Android tablet (I think its the ZPad?) claim that USB 3G Modems are supported. It even lists the specific models.
EDIT: This is one of the models listed on the specs page. http://cgi.ebay.com/ZTE-CDMA-REV-A-EVDO-Modem-Model-AC-581-/330492290336?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4cf2e02520#ht_2134wt_1139
EDIT 2: Well I messaged zetronix through their website and left a message on their support number. We will see what kind of a response I get. ^_^
I plugged my AT&T USB 3G modem (Mercury) into the device and nothing happened. Nothing showed up in "wireless" settings. Don't think it works with TNT-Lite.
pls feel free to try your 3g sticks against my kernel offering.
pls snap some dmesgs, and give me the chip/device ids if it does not detect it, and i can add them in.
I have an air card that I will test. If I can get this working, I would be a very happy sysadmin. It shows up in dmesg, even with stock, but from there nothing.
1. Build a kernel module.
2. Configure kernel to support wired ethernet via the kernel module.
3. Insert module.
4. Configure the GTablet to use the new network interface.
I considered doing this to use my iPhone as a USB network interface, but the adhoc wireless network support from MyWi 4.0 was good enough.
That would be really cool especially with the newer 4G usb modems being offered by my carrier. But for now I simply use Wireless Tether on my rooted Droid X and use the sweet unlimited 3G to access the internet via wi-fi on my G Tablet.
Since I already have to carry the phone around and I have an unlimited data account it seemed like a good idea.

But I do understand how some of you get corporate data plans with those usb sticks... It would be nice for you to use
Has anyone managed to get this to work, I was at at&t today and almost got an aircard (3g Dongle) today but wanted to research a bit.

you can't, at least until with have no development on a510.
you'll have to wait for a dev to make a custom rom, then ask him to add your device drivers..

Check out this new app for Dongle support. Posted in the 500 forums yesterday. Confirmed working with the a500 ICS roms.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1795591
So it's possible it may work with the 510 and 700 models also,

i tried it with no luck. just gave an error after i plugged in my dongle. was trying it with a sierra usb 306.

I have tried 3 diferent 3G USB dongles on my A510 and none of them works. So I have just swet my SGS2 mobile up to be a wifi hotspot and with 5GB data on my subscription I will have plenty of data for use when im not near a WIFI network I can use. Bluetooth keyboard and 2.5" USB hdd both work with my A510 when I plug them into the adapter that comes with the tablet but 3G USB dongles need to install some sort of software and havent found one yet which supports Android.
So use your mobile as WIFI hotspot if you can

only have a company cell, and i doubt they would be supportive of paying for the data on my tablet!
I was given as a gift, have a WiFi only 7" Asian Android tablet purchased in Singapore.
I understand I can get a USB 3G modem with build in pre-paid SIM to get online for GSM network such as AT&T and T-Mobile.
Can you please tell me what kind of third party modem I should look for and what kind specification? What kind of Android modem drive should I look for?
Thank you.
I understand Verizon users can get a similar USB 3G adapter for laptops to get online.
But those are CDMA modem, correct? So, these adapters has no build-in SIM card.
Where can I get more info on these? Thank you,
Also, can some one with AT&T or T-Mobile subscriber tell me, do you have USB modem adapters for your laptop?
I assume these are 3G digital modem using cellular network, correct? Thank you.

Funny, I was thinking the exact same thing today and then here's your post.
There's other people asking the same question if you search the forums, but when I looked last there wasn't much work happening on that idea.
Personally I just tether my phone as a wifi hotspot. That way I don't have to pay for more than one overpriced 3G internet plan. I'm guessing most other users do this or make use of wifi hotspots around town, home, work etc. This probably negates the drive for development of such an app.
I imagine there's some custom code to be done to get it to work, and then for each individual usb modem. Probably not impossible, but not easy either. In Australia they're bringing out a newer version of their usb dongles probably every six months or so? It's hard to keep up.
I'll be interested to see if someone has got it going.
USB modem in Android
thedrcarl, I heard quite a bit about external 3G USB dongle.
This suppose to work with cellular network and when no wifi connection is possible.
In fact, I think there is such 3G USB dongle works in laptops. But what about Android Wifi only tablets?
I'm expecting it should, the dongles should work (Y)
I do found USB dongle adapter for GSM quad frequency modem for cellular network. It has software and drivers to work on Windows laptops. I think this is called Huawei modem USB adapter.
But not software for Android tablets (wifi only) to connect to internet using Cellular network. Does anybody out there get this working?
if you have a usb port, you would buy some huawei models with driver for android:
-huawei e160
e169
e220
e1750
after connecting the modem, you must configure the correct APN for your mobile network and if the sim doesn't recognises, you shuold delete the pin code with a cellphone
Is there a reason you need to buy a USB 3G modem and not just a 3G/4G wifi-hotspot? That would save you the pain of having to have it plugged in and I think they're usually comparably priced, no?
reply to usb modem
yes u can first check in tablet u have usb port u can
if u have miniusb u have to buy a bini usb to usb converter then plug select network apn etc
I think using GSM with SIM both T-Mobile and AT&T have pre-paid usage plan that only charge what you use, not in monthly contract.
Am I correct?
So, where I work, I have zero bars. I've tried both Tmobile and AT&T sim chips and both are "no service" at my desk. I sit right in the middle of a big metal building.
Also, this building has no wifi at all.
My only other option is ethernet. Do you guys know of any way I can hook an ethernet cable to my S4? Does Android even have the software capability to do this?
Thanks guys. :fingers-crossed:

buy a wifi dongle for your work PC which is connected via ethernet then let your work PC transmit wifi connection to your phone. Not sure if thats legal to do in your office, using a wifi dongle since you need more or less an administrator access to set it up correctly.

Didn't think you could use a dongle that would work like that?
Can you not buy a router and create your own wifi?
The existing LAN you have at your pc, plug into a router, then the router to the pc. Configure an invisible ssid and boom.
Assuming your work will allow you... There may be a security reason why they don't have wifi.

I used to broadcast wifi internet using the built in wlan of a laptop but using a usb internet dongle(the one with a simcard). Forgot the name of the program but if you know how to setup manually it should work as well. Im just assuming you can use those wifi dongles to transmit like a repeater

Get a router and hook it up to your ethernet and make it hidden and secured so only you know it exist and only you can use it.
Nic dongle for S4 SPH-L720
I see them around the i9500. Is there any for the SPH-L720 S4?
You could use something like this. It should work for you. I have a regular USB to Ethernet adapter and it works with my Toshiba tablet and chromebooks. No apps or drivers needed with android. I believe you need android honeycomb or better I think.

You got one that connects directly to your phone, not via OTG or so?
