Okay I can not understand how my friend with an Acer Iconia can use a Verizon Novatel 3g dongle with his tablet. I have a dongle with free service through my job. With all these custom kernels etc is it not possible to create something so I can use a 3g dongle? I would think someone could use something from the Iconia to work on the Xoom. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
how does it work on the iconia? does he need to launch an app? to use the dongle?
unfortunately he is on medical leave so I can't ask him.
ooo ooo ooooo i wanna know how to do this

Hi I'm new to xda, although I'v used the forum before for help with rooting and such but i recently got a wifi model of the xoom and I wanted to use the wireless tether app on my rooted epic but when i scan on my xoom nothing comes up, I know it tethering because it shows up on my laptop and I think the issue is frequency. I think the xoom only works with 2.5ghz and up and my epic only tethers at a max of 2.48ghz does anyone know if theres anyway around this so i can connect my xoom to my epics wifi any input would be greatly appreciated.
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.

ok so i have a 3g wireless card i use with my asus eee 1000 and i was wondering if i could plug in a 3g usb into the asus eee pad and be able to use the internet anywhere? i know that you can tether your phone and stuff but i dont have a fancy phone and i dont have a data plan to use my phone as a motem. i was wondering if anyone knew yes or no, or if someone could test that for me and any others out there wondering if this works?
if you have a 3g wireless card why not try it yourself? Or do you not have a transformer?

In most cases unless the the device is just drawing power from usb port, you need a driver.
When you had the unit plugged into your primary device did you or it launch software to get it to work?

OK first, post everything you can about the card here. Name model revision number ect. Someone here might have a solution.
Second do a google search for android and your unit.
Third email the manufacturer of device and Asus asking your question.
If the device can be powered on via USB and not require client software, that is, it acts like a wifi router, then yes it will work.

In the UK you can get something called a MiFi which is owned by three mobile, and its basically a battery operated wifi router. Stick your 3g sim card in it, and it operates as a 5 device infrastructure wifi network which shares the 3g connection. Its currently locked by three but you can by unlocked ones from eBay for about £60... works well
ya i dont have the mifi thing, but i do have my pc that has bluetooth built into it and im thinking if you can tether to your phone to use it for wireless and my pc can tether to the andriod then bingo i can use the wireless thru my comp and bluetooth tether the android device to it and bam wireless anywhere maybe a friend of mine just got it so maybe i can ask her to test that theory out ill let you know if it works
lg 2100ti turbo 3g usb
i have an att Lg 2100ti turbo 3g usb stick and a transfrer. i am intrested in a way to use it for a 3g connection. i saw that someone made a kernal mod to android 3.2 to get a USB ethernet device to work. anyone have any sucess with a 3g modem? Would this be simular to the usb switch for devian / umbuntu? to enable USBSerial?

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 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
