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?

Could you teather your phone to the Transformer so as to get 3g service?
Would you need the keyboard to do this, since it has a full size USB?

I currently have a iPad 2 WiFi, it can tether just fine with my rooted EVO. I suppose the same will happen with the Transformer (still waiting for it).
I do not think the keyboard is needed... why anyway? I mean tether via WiFi

you can definitely tether you phone to your transformer...seems like bluetooth tether seems to be the best bet right now.
Get em paired and let the data flow!

Without having it right here in front of me....
First, your phone needs to have the wireless tether app.which means you most likly will need to be rooted. Go to the settings and switch it to the bluetooth tether rather than the wireless one. Make the device discoverable. Then go on your transformer and go to wireless & networks>bluetooth settings> check turn on bluetooth then scan for devices. It should find you phone, so select it. Once the devices are connected there should be an option on the transformer in the bluetooth settings that say something about using bluetooth data tether or something along those lines. Select that and you should be all set!
If you are still having issues let me know and i can do a more detailed (and accurate) walkthrough tonight when I get home.
Yes, you can use your phone if it provides the right sort of hot spot (infrastructure). I've tested my LG Optimus with the Transformer and it works fine. There are other tethering options if your phone does not have a hotspot, a program like PDA.net, using bluetooth (if your phone has a BT modem driver). What will not work is a program that turns your phone into an Ad Hoc hotspot, unless someone gets Ad Hoc working on the TF (should be possible, they have to change the supplicants file).
Don't know about bluetooth tethering, but my transformer connects to my android 2.2 HTC Desire wifi hotspot with no problems.
Password is stored, and it connects automatically when unconnected to my home wifi.
Mines working perfect with my g2.

I wonder what are the steps. I have an HTC Hero (Sprint) on CM7 and it works fine through Bluetooth connection to WiFi-Tether.
On the contrary, my Optimus S (Sprint), i rooted it and then installed WiFi-Tether. Then I tried to tether it to my Asus (with the same settings on both sides) but I can't find the option "Tether" in the Bluetooth Settings. It just disappeared. I tried everything . Un-pairing, Changing some of the settings, Restarting both devices, everything...
So, is there something I'm doing wrong? Am I missing something? Is the "LG" name not good for the connection?
My galaxy s phone functions as a wireless hotspot so can be used by any device that has wifi ability, im not sure if this feature is specific to gakaxy s or an android feature
Funnily enough ive connected all sorts to it xbox, laptop, ipad etc
I've used the wifi hotspot built in to CM7 (infrastructure) in my car for my passengers to use my transformer with the day i took it out of the box. Haven't tried BT yet but any infrastructure type will work. I've noticed that if the app doesn't have the option to switch between infrastructure and ad-hoc, "tether" will refer to ad-hoc while "hotspot" will mean infrastructure. Good luck!
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 own a Samsung Infuse which has terrible Wifi strength. I have to be in the same room as the router in order for it to connect.
Is there anyway that I can use my Transformer as a hotspot while its connected to my network so my phone can connect to the Transformer?
No, cant be host and client at the same time.

How is that possible? Unless your TF is 3G capable, once you turn the TF wifi hotspot on it shut off the WiFi connection.
I can tether my TF to my Nexus 1 but not the other way around.
are you on latest firmware? I saw something in another thread about it, but its definitely an option here and worked when I tested it!

No, I'm on Prime 1.8 so I don't think it's the latest firmware. Good to know
I have a Optimus 2X... The PHONE is the one to put like an hotspot... Then i can use it coneected on my asus transformer...
My work has given me a 4g aircard, and while I know that i can use tether with my phone to get internet in a jam on the infinity I would like to be able to utilize the aircard since 1.) It has no data limit 2.) it doesn't drain the battery of my cellphone 3.) it is easier to just plug it in than tether my phone.
So here is the question.
This is the card that my company gave me: https://m.verizonwireless.com/shop/details/All_Phones/v/5632
Is there any way to get the infinity to recognize it and use it? I am assuming this requires VZaccess manager to work on android, I have found no support for that.
When I plug in the card it lights up, and think it is an ethernet port, but does not allow me the option to connect.
any thoughts?

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.
