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.
Dear all,
I just got the Nexus S 4G phone from Sprint, and already updated it to 2.3.5 due to the weak signal issue. I noticed that USB tethering is not working since the beginning (2.3.4). I went through Setting, Wireless & network setting, Tethering and portable hotspot, and USB tethering, then enble it. The computer showed that it was connected with the phone, just no internet connection. Could anyone help? Thanks a lot
The 2.3.5 update blocked free tethering.

Bigtoysrock,
Thank you very much for your help. I still have two questions.
1) is it the 2.3.5 problem only, or USB tethering is never working with Andriod? I am new to Android, and I didn't get the USB tethering working with 2.3.4 either.
2) I know if I root it, I will get the mobile hot spot working with 3G only. Will the root also give me the USB tethering?
Thanks a lot,
As far as I know 2.3.4 worked and not sure on the second question as I don't use the native app for tethering. I do know however that pdanet works for usb tethering. When you root it comes with the one click root package to give you the correct drivers. I would try it for you but I am not on the stock rom.

If you unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery Peter Alfonso created a flashable zip the fixes native tethering in 2.3.5
I tested it with the wireless native app not the wired but should work for both

Thank you, Bigtoysrock and Jackslim. I will root it with Peter's method. I will report whether it works with USB tethering. People reported that they have wireless tethering working. However, nobody talks about USB tething,
I remember there's a way to usb tether your phone without the need of rooting using proxydroid
I did this when my EVO was replaced with a new one that was unrootable at the time
You can find proxydroid in the market for a free app and use their wiki for details on getting your computer setup

Jackslim, thank you. That post has a straight-forward tutorial.

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.

Hi, 1st time posting a question, I wasn't able to figure out a solution with pre-existing threads.
Prior to the ICS ota update I was able to wifi tether my wifi only Xoom to my rooted Tmo HTC G2 by using the Wireless Tether app, with OUT needing to use a BT connection on Wireless Tether. The xoom simply recognized my G2 and another WiFi signal.
Now, I am not. A few things have changed; I now have a rooted LG Tmo G2X, and also have the ICS ota update on my WiFi only xoom.
Wireless tether, wifi tether and similar apps all function properly on my G2X and my 2 laptops recognize and connect to the signal, but my Xoom does not even see the G2X at all. I have also attempted to use the apps in BT mode, and was able to pair but not connect the 2 devices.
I wondered if it was the Android ad hoc issue, but that didnt make sense, as it did not inhibit this function in the earlier version of my Xoom.
I have not yet rooted my Xoom.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Hey guys. I have been having some problems with me xt926 hotspot. I got upgraded through warrenty from my original droid razr to a droid razr hd. I had a custom rom on my original droid razr and I used sqlite editor to use the verizon hotspot. It worked great on that phone. I could play online on my ps3 and everything. Now that I have my xt926 and I rooted and used the same sqlite hack to use the hotspot. The phone will connect to my laptop and ps3 but it always say limited or connected but No web pages will load with the wifi hotspot. I have also tried other wifi hotspot apps like foxfi with no luck. The only way it works is if I use the USB teather, and it works great. I would really like to get my wifi hotspot to work. Have you guys heard of this or have any suggestions?
Thanks
anyone?
