Hi all
I am wondering if it is possible to use a 3G Datacard to provide internet to the xoom (wifi only), the same way I can connect a laptop to internet through an usb datacard device.
(as long as I know Android 3.0 does not have support for usb external devices, but 3.1 does).
Thanks in advance.
I doubt it. Your best bet would be to get a mifi. Or tether from a phone.

Has anyone used a Sprint 3G USB device to connect their G-Tab without wifi? If so, what app is required?
For a laptop, one must use a Sprint Windows program named "Smartview" for connectivity. I don't even know if what I am trying to do is feasible, however I'm sure someone on the forum has an answer or opinion.
Thanks in advance.
Well i have my transformer and i wanted to be able to connect it to my phone but my phone is only provifig ad hoc conection. I was wondering if thereis a way around this. I was told that rooting the device might makeit easier. I woudnt mind rooting the device(if possible since it is a us version)but if there is another way for me to get wifi access through my phone i will take it.
I have a touch pro 2
On sprint that is running enery rom
Thanks guys
rooting wont help it recognize ad-hoc, what you can do is do a bluetooth tether instead of wifi.

Thanks....is there an app on how to do this? Im used to just wifi tether and ive never blueooth tether before. Ive looked at my bt setting and everytime i get them to pair the only option i have is for my phone to use the transformer as an internet access which is the total oposite of what i want to do.
yes, how do you do Bluetooth Tether?
I have my SGS running Wireless Tether Root, on BT tether mode. But the Asus Transformer can't see the PAN tether service after I pair the phone and tablet.

Does your phone have wifi hotspot capability? If so root it and turn it into a wifi rounter. Then you just connect to the phone as a wifi device. That's what I do. Not on the TF yet but with netbooks, ipads and an archos gen 8 tablet.

Oops thats a new Winmo phone isnt it? I can do it but you'll be charged for it.

I have a droid x rooted to gingerbread. Apparently I don't have the "kernel". I tried the bluetooth tether and don't have it. I can connect with the 3g hack, but that is really slow. So is there any way to tether my Droid X with my TF through usb?
what is the 3g hack?
This would be nice to use. With the 3.1 update adding USB host driver it might be possible.
Hello all developers and xoom lovers,
i have a wifi only motorla xoom and a 3g usb dongle. I heard asus transformer can use usb dongle but is it possible for xoom also?
If any developer can make the way of using 3g usb dongle then it would be nice.

I think the tethering should work unless your service company charges for tethering
update: No it doesn't work. only runs network signal not wireless. Maybe there should be a way to do that.

This is impossible since the tethering uses 3g internet connection rather than wi-fi, since it is designed for situations when there is no wi-fi connection but there is cellular connection, and you want to browse the internet with your PC. good luck, i maybe wrong!
