Does anyone know if it's possible to use a USB cellular modem such as the Verizon LTE card (pantech u290) with the USB port on the Xoom WiFi? That would be a really cool ability if it were possible.
I imagine that it COULD work given the necessary drivers and tools. The device would have to be unlocked and rooted, and you would need to load a boot.img with the capability already in place. Beyond USB storage, a driver would have to be ported/written for a device like that.
Given that Verizon is already the mobile data sponsor of the Xoom, and are offering LTE antenna upgrades once its launched in the Xoom, they might have a problem with that.
But yes, it is possible in theory.
The xoom definitely detects a UML290 when it is plugged in via a xoom host cable. This should be very feasible to get working and I'll be looking into it.

There's no difference between using a laptop with an external radio and using a tablet with an external radio. It's not like you're bypassing charges or anything.
If anything, Verizon would be against xooms having a wifi radio at all. But they'd certainly prefer you to use a 3g dongle (which would make them money) than using just wifi.

The problem is that someone will have to take the SDK and drivers from the USB modem manufacturer and adapt them to the Xoom. This is way beyond my skill set unfortunately.
Okay someone must know how to do this. My friend has the Acer Iconia and he was able to get it to recognize a Novatel USB760 modem for Verizon. Some directions are over in the Acer Iconia forum. It running Honeycomb and similar hardware sure someone could get the Xoom working with this.
I'm quite interested in this as well. Is there any guidance on where to look to do this? I am a software developer, although I don't have any experience at building software for the android, but I could certainly come up with something.
the SDK's are usually available on the web site of the modem manufacturers. The big ones are Pantech, Novatel, and Sierra Wireless. They all should have Linux SDK info that should be portable to Android. I'm thinking that if someone wrote an app for this, they could make quite a bit of money selling it on the Android market
Can't you buy something that accepts the USB modem like a router of some sort?
Better yet wouldn't you be able to get a Linux driver for the aircard and hack that some way?

This won't help you get on the Verizon network, but it may help for people with GSM carriers, and may lead in the right direction
Huawei 3G WCDMA Modem SUPPORT
It's for the viewsonic, but all the 10.1 tabs pack about the same hardware, and it's all Android, or rather linux at this level. You guys might have some luck getting the Huawei sticks working
the carrier's can't detect what is attached to the USB modems. As long as the USB stick is activated with a legit data plan, it should work fine. the key is getting the android drivers together and working using the linux SDKs provided by the USB modem mfgs.
Also...I'm opening up a pool for a donation to any developer that will work on this. I'm putting $50 in.
I would also be willing to donate to get this working.
After a lot of researching, i was very sad i had the wifi only version but after that, i noticed that it was the best option, One Data Plan in your Huawei e5 hot spot and enjoy the connection of simult four devices in the same data plan - all on the go, i have hd2 "Androided" and the xoom wifi.
Enjoying less monthly charges for the hd2 and sharing the xoom. i even though of tethering from my phone but phone data plans are much higher than Data Only SIMs.

This doesn't do me much good unfortunately...still open to paying someone to develop this...or you could build it and launch in the app market. Support for the common ATT, Sprint, and Verizon modems would probably get LOTS of buyers including me. I'd bet there's a good market on all the wifi only tablets for this type of work
Hey all, trying to find a way to connect to Cisco vpn, and I have run into a question. Are there any kernels for the Mez with a TUN device in the kernel? (TUN device in kernel (CONFIG_TUN=y)) or is this even possible with this phone?
This one is a little beyond my understanding, so I figured I would toss it out there and see if you guys can help.
Just FYI From what I've read, vpn is androids biggest downfall as it does not play well with Cisco, there are outstanding bug reports from very early stages of android that Google hasn't been able to fix for years now.

hi all! I've found a topic where all people was talking about the wifi tethering with ad-hoc connection using Motorola Xoom..with the help of some XDA's guys, they were able to connect a phone to xoom using ad-hoc spot. So this method can be applied also to the Transformer? i think that - if the OS is the same for each android tablet - is possible to mod the same file to the same mode, or not?

The same method certainly worked on Acer Iconia A500 tabs. I did it to mine before swapping it out for a Transformer. AFAIK it was the same wpa_supplicant file from the Xoom forums here on XDA that I pushed to my Iconia and it worked well. Might give it a bash in a bit.

So if this is possibile all ppl that are still using Wm6.5 will be able to tethter them 3G connection without any problems on the TF? do you remember if you encountered some trouble on iconia after this mod? I don't believe that Android doesn't still have the possibility to connect with other devices without the use of infrastucture mode. (big handicap )

No, it didn't cause any problems. Just make sure you follow the instructions. Set the permissions on wpa_supplicant properly otherwise you will break your wifi. Ofc, you will need to have root. Good luck.

We did this same trick to allow ad-hoc on the elocity a7... worked like a charm. Not rooted yet to try this though myself.
Well idk if this is helpful, but ive been tethering my Droid X to my TF via bluetooth and works flawlessly, must admit it makes my DX slow and crappy but while im tethering im not really gonna be using my phone. I like to think it saves battery too, correct me if im wrong on the wifi vs bluetooth battery consumption.

The android ad hoc wifi issue is quite well documented on the net - google code
Don't think google have mentioned anything about putting in support for it, but the wpa_supplicant hacks are used for lots of older devices that 'can't see' ad hoc and seem to cover it pretty well for root users.
Most newer phones, especially android devices, now generate tether points in infrastructure mode - hence why some of the posters above with newer phones do not need to use the wpa mod.
Looks like you will have to root and mod your transformer or get a phone that generates 'infrastructure' and say bye bye to your e71

Cablevision recently released the full Optimum app with streaming capabilities, but it has only been released for the Kindle Fire. Since the Kindle Fire runs Android, it should be possible for the application to run on any other Android device. This thread will be the attempt at modding the Optimum application to work with all Android devices (2.3+).

I have tried on my CM9 Evo and CM9 Iconia A500, and in both instances the application works (sometimes I have to wipe data, sometimes it works flawlessly).
The point of this is to modify the application itself, without touching the device files, making it work with almost any version of Android (Gingerbread and up because that is the Kindle Fire version).
So far, I haven't come up with much in the past few days. I'm still looking though.
Also, my thoughts on Cablevision:
I think Cablevision is actually one of the "good guys". They have cheap plans, fantastic service, and they really do want to help their customers. Their TV service is great, and it offers a lot of fantastic channel choices. The Internet is really good, as I always get at least 25 up/down with very low ping (I do enjoy gaming).
I don't like the fact that they haven't come out with a streaming application for Android yet, but it is obvious that they are making progress. I do like watching TV on my laptop, and it is nice to know that I can watch it on an iOS device if I ever get one again. The fact that they have an application for an Android device just shows that they are very close to a full Android release.
I changed buildprop values to resemble kindle fire. It didnt work on my SGS3 stock ICS neither on my toshiba thrive stock ICS

Nice to hear! I love working for them. I used to work at Comcast but I lived in cable vision territory so I thought why not do the same job and get free service lol. They are definitely putting for effort in trying to offer the same experience for both iOS and android. I've been bugging them since I started and I might pursuit the development side. Maybe I can find out more when I am back in on monday .
Any chance to get it working on an "ASUS Infinity"

I don't own an Aria (yet.... getting a refurb one soon just to add to the collection and play with using tools like this one), but from what I read about the items added to this rom, it's exactly what the title of the post says. It's a server.
Imagine taking the time to setup a separate box running Ubuntu or Red Hat or something to use as your own private linux server. Now skip all that and just install this rom. Bam, your phone that may have been sitting around collecting dust can now provide the same thing (albeit probably much slower).
A fully functioning apache web server, perfect for poking around with and learning the ins and outs of linux servers. Point your router to it, open port 80 and there you go. Serviing out web pages from your own little corner of the internet.
Hopefully I get time, I'd like to try this out. Any comments from anyone who's used this? I have an old HTC G2 (desire z) sitting around. I cleaned it up, rooted, and installed cyanogenmod on it. I've been playing around with an IP cam app and a couple FTS server apps.
One of my main concerns was powering the device. It gets super warm after prolonged usage, and I don't know how long the battery would handle 24/7 charging, or if it should even be a concern at all. To bad the phone wont power on while plugged in with the battery removed, like laptops.
I have an old Aria that I use as an MP3 player. Would this work for that? (using Google Play Music)
As all you guys might see, this one is quite old. Also, the download link is dead for a long time now, I think the best would be to get this thread closed.
