Hi,
I managed to install Android on my HTC Polaris using HaRET. Everythings works fine (GSM, WLAN, GPS, Bluetooth) except mobile internet via GPRS, EGDE or UMTS. I updated the radio to the latest version I could find for my Polaris (1.65.38.14). I even called my mobile carrier (O2 Germany) to get the correct APN settings. With WM the connection via UMTS works perfectly.
Any ideas what goes wrong? If I would be able to solve this problem, I would abandon WM and flash Android on my phone.
I tried Android 2.1 and 2.1, but the problem remains.
Here are the details of my setup:
Device: O2 xda Orbit 2, i.e. HTC Polaris 200
Android: 2.2
Kernel: 2.6.25-01130-g99a3b07-dirty bell(at)bell-laptop #383
Build:eu_vogue-userdebug 2.2 FR91 eng. martin.20100711.172453 test-keys
Thanks for any help,
Ralf
you can try following to activate mobile inet connection:
- put your phone into airplane on - airplane off
- (re)enter your apn via settings - wireless&network - mobilenetworks - access point names - press menu to enter new apn(s) or reset to defaults.
- force connection using modem.apk (connect/disconnect)
- reinstall/install another build, leave data
- install togga (toggle data connect), put on your sdcard and install via file manager
- use another zImage
- use stock radio

Have you put the MMC and MNC values for the APN correctly? I had that problem.
Hello,
as posted in another answer, none of warm donut, eclair and froyo was able to get my XDA2(Pola200) online by 3G due booting from haret.
Also none of the tricks given above and in another posts and wikis(i tried everything, believe me)had done the trick.
After flashing it on NAND (Kallt_kaffes eclair RLS7c with latest available eclair kernel), 3G was starting out of the box after boot, w/o further configurations. Curiously with an apn entry from O2. I use a prepaid provider which is based on the O2 network but it has another apn name.
Better be careful, maybe it will be an expensive experience, to go online with the wrong apn entry - in my case it wasn`t.
Anyway, dont`t know what`s the difference relatet to the hardware of my device between Haret and NAND boot and not/working modem.

hi matthias,
i have a very similar problem here in austria, using Yesss (which is using the Orange network). i can't get any data connection with froyo build. so i switched back to eclair (VaniljEclair_RLS7c) and 3g connection works out of the box - curiously with an apn from orange.
no idea what is wrong with froyo?
i'm using polaris 200 (xda orbit 2) with haret boot.
I have a Huawei E1750 3G USB modem that I want to make working on the ZT-180 tablet. Until now I have not been successfull to get it working, although it is working on my notebook and with the Flytouch2 out-of-the-box.
I have searched forums for a solution, but have not been able to get it working until now.
I have tried the following, which is not working on the original FW that the ZT-180 comes with and with the new Android 2.2 FW.
Create APN
Use APN manager(s)
Manually edit configuration files like init.gprs-pppd
Checked for errors in dmesg
tried to run init.gprs-pppd manually, no error messages
I have disabled CDROM and MicroSD emulation on the stick
I tried to switch between ttyUSB0 to ttyUSB3
Checked the permissions on the files (init.gprs-pppd) and folders (ppp) as mentioned in some posts
I hope that the experts on XDA (hehe) can help me out!
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
did you find a solution for you need?
I'm in a similar situation:
Internet sharing from HTC TyTn II wm6.1 to android 2.3.1 iMiTo AM801 8" running Android Gingerbread 2.3.1.
I tried to substitute the wpa_supplicat file as indicated in several threads after rooting my device, but none of them seems to work for me, and all of them break the connection also to non-adhoc wifi network, so I reverted to the original file.
Any help? any news? Let me know, thanks!
Hello, I Know there are correct wifi usb dongles drivers in Tiamat Kernels, i have tried everything possible to get the Mobile Settings option in the Wireless setting of android with no luck, Can anybody point me to the correct procedures on how to do it? btw i have tried the methods of doing that on Acer and Asus and it didn't work, i had to flash new kernels to boot again in some cases. Thanks
Why those drivers are present but nobody want to write dialer script and instruction?
Launchpad kernel for Xoom!
Alright, Forget about Tiamat kernel, i have Team Tiamat Moray Rom on my Wifi only Xoom with the launchpad kernel from this post :
http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/lau...nel-launchpad-1-2-2-new-6-11-11-3-1-only.html
you will find in the addons (WWAN USB Addon) which is used on the launchpad to show the Mobile Menu and enable tethering as the kernel should have everything required, so why when i use it on the Xoom it doesn't work? BTW i have also disabled the Zero-CD option on the USB stick to make sure it reads as a modem when connected to usb port, i made sure that my 3g stick is compatible with the operation.
Its really interesting when i see 153 views and only one reply
You can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118639
And I will try with CDMA modem I found one non-english article.
But just yesterday I got trouble with OTG connections, all devices are with error:
usb 2-1: new low speed USB device using tegra-ehci and address 6
usb 2-1: device not accepting address 6, error -71
hub 2-1: unable to enumerate device on port 1
It was working last night. Wtf? Do you know how to fix this? I tried to restart tablet with no luck, otg cable not working anymore.
Update 1: Nevermind, cable was broken. Fixed.
Update 2: I tried that method on link I gave you - zore result, reflashed.
P.S: Just tried your launchpad kernel - too bad that 3.1 only. I'm using Rogue now. By the way usb_wwan can be installed everywhere.
I found also this universal installer for Huawei modems attached below.
Dunno how to "dance" with this. After installing just nothing happend or I doing wrong.
thanks for you effort, OTG cables are horrible, most of the time when you get failures its caused by cables or adapters anyway,
i downloaded the attached archive and pushed all modules to my Xoom with MORAY Rom and Odachi Kernel, rebooted and nothing happened too no Mobile Settings menu, will keep trying and keep you posted
Actually I'm not sure if there should appear some menu. After this you have to see in dmesg you modem to be recognized like GSM converter but I don't. So it looks like option.ko isn't loaded. Maybe this file has to be in defferent place instead of /system/lib on Xoom? I also tried to put it in /system/lib/modules/ , also nothing happend after.
Maybe it works on older versions of ROMs? I'm using 3.2.2 stock rooted with rogue kernel + usb_wwan
Maybe, i have tried it with many roms, even the 3.1 but no luck, i think Team Tiamat would be the right ppl who would clarify everything to us, i have tried setting the kernel to launch all the modules on boot but nothing happened,we need somebody experienced in those things to help us out
Hmm... as you see there is nobody who want to help with this. Because they have 3G models or expencive portable hotspots and nobody need this.
Anyway. Did you try to put option.ko and usb_wwan.ko in system/library/modules folder and right after that set up "modules on boot"? Restart tablet, connect modem and see in dmesg. I don't have this option in my rom, so try to do that.
:s
I've tried placing the modules and loading them on boot, but it didn't work too, its not about money, actually i have 3G portable wifi router and my other android devices have the built-in wifi hotspot ,but its about doing the thing...its about the concept, why it's not working while we have everything in place, thats the weird thing, i think we will have to wait until somebody feels sorry for us then decide to help us! :s
Problem definitely in /system/build.prop it should be edited somehow, according to manual for A500 tablet.

hi, where to put this module pack? i mean how to install?
How to connect manually using Huawei 3G dongle:
You need:
- rooted xoom with Tiamat kernel (or any other which has usb_wwan.ko and option.ko attached)
- 3g dongle
1. Backup files from /etc/ppp in case when this solution don't work
2. Download attached zip and extract to /etc/ppp
3. edit /etc/ppp/gprs-connect-chat in line
Code:
'' AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet"
replace 'internet' with APN name for your network
4. Now run terminal (Terminal Emulator) and type
Code:
su
stop ril-daemon
insmod /system/lib/modules/usb_wwan.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/option.ko
pppd call gprs
Now you should have working connection (Xoom doesn't show this, but if you run browser it should work).
For me it works on Verizon Xoom with Huawei e1750, but i'm living in area where only edge is avaliable, so this is very slow connection - i need to check connection speed in other location this weekend.
For Xoom Wifi owners: this should also work for you, but with small change - after inserting modules you should check on dmesg which port(s) is using your dongle and change port number in first line of /etc/ppp/peers/gprs . It's probably /dev/ttyUSB0 but you must check.

Ask google for linux support for this wimax modem. If it works on linux it also should work in android. And most of linux tutorials are saying which driver is needed.
I also have different modem need to use, because gprs is slow and expencive.
I have Cmotech U300 (Dual mode - WiMax + CDMA Rev.A) branded for Sprint. Have no idea where to get a driver for xoom.
Looks like my modem is working under Linux, http://jebus.nu/tech-corner/sprint-u300 Dut generally I have no idea how to make it for Xoom.
My Huawei is recognized well. I set APN name, but what about APN username and password. Where are setted?
Are there any updated ppp files for the xoom on jelly bean as it does not seem to work with my one....... Also try something called "ppp widget" which seems to be easier to do but still its not worked for me on my xoom...... HELP
Hi everybody.
I have a typical but reverse question.
I don't know if this is the best place for make this question, but i want try.
I would know if it's possible to use the wi fi of a PC (on linux or windows) and share this wi fi with another pc linked on USB ( with a male-male USB cable).
Sorry if i have wrong section or forum.
Thanks for responce
You probably already know this but you can tether WiFi from phone to PC via Bluetooth/USB. I tested it yesterday. WiFi hotspot though uses mobile data only
International S III 16GB / Dualboot 4.1.2 Stock & Cyanogenmod 10.1 / Gokhan's SK
Why not just get a USB wifi adapter for the second PC ?
