Hi there!
As I couldn't find soulution I decided to write a new topic here.
Recently I've bought 7" Navigation/Tablet with android 2.3 on board, as I am owner of Omnia i900 which I used a lot as a internet access form my laptop ( simply plugh in usb, internet sharing - and it worked) I would like to connect my Tablet with Omnia and share internet form it. Tablet has miniUSB (allready bought usb>miniUsb adapter) but I have no idea how to get connection in my tablet.
This is how I would like to connect it:
(internet network) > Omnia> usb cable for omnia > USB to miniUSB> Tablet
anyone know how can I run internet that way? Is this posslible at all?
I will be really greatful if some one know the solution.

Are your rooted? I would recommend hotspot if so....

Becareful, not sure if you carrier can see it or not. I am in no way responsible for what you do with your phone. Just encase! I would not think you would have a problem.

well, need to get program which allows me to make a connection by usb, no wifi, and I want to gwt iinternet from wm phone, on the Omnia site i have right program, I need to get something to accept connection on the Tablet
I have just done some serious searching on this..... i know that certain tablets have an adapter you can buy for like 5 bucks. Do you remember the exact name when you bought ir or was it one that just said "Android 2.3 GPS Table Internet" kind of thing?

it's very same, even look the same, but my is updated to 2.3
I would get a usb to micro/mini depending on what it has, and try it, you can get one for a few bucks on ebay. From what I have seen, it has a chance of working.

I think you are not geting mex i have cabel, adapter and i connect them together. What i need its software on Android side which accept this usb connection, couse atm Android doesnt see my omnia at all
What Im saying is that I want to use Omnia as a modem

Why? It works for my laptop.
Your laptop runs windows and has drivers for it.

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
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

The G2 and the Sensation have an internet passthrough option that allows you to use your PCs internet connection on your phone.

If you go to internet sharing in windows xp, vista or 7 you can create a pico-net whereby your computer's internal network card broadcast a network, it must be a ad-hoc network. The range will be about 50 ft and your phone can pick up on the wifi. I used to do this when I had cricket and needed to hook up devices that didnt have a USB drive.

actually ive gotten the "reverse tethering" to work..but it only works on certain apps and the browser for some reason. im running a stock rooted G2 btw. all i did was leave the usb debugging on and i turned on mock locations..i dont know if that had anything to do with it, but its kind of working. hope this helps or if anyone has a better solution id like to know
ok, lets begin.
1. i live in usa
2.tmobile usa 4g
3.i am not talking about using the 4g network on a laptop via wifi hot spot
4. i am not talking about using the PC internet on the phone through internet passthrough
5.i am not talking about using the 4g network on a pc/laptop via usb tethering
i am asking if i can create wifi through my phone.
my phone can use my pc's internet via internet passthrough. can it then take that internet and make it into wifi so my laptop can use it?
I DONT WANT TO USE THE 4G NETWORK ON MY LAPTOP.
my phone is not rooted and will not be rooted(bricked an hd2 awhile back and still not over it)
i hope i made myself clear.

Oh my, are you saying that you have internet on a pc and want to connect pc to your sensation, so to use a phone as a router to create WiFi, so that you can joint that WiFi with a laptop.
I can imagine that to be useful feature if you need to get internet on a laptop where you have some internet connected public pc.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
If above interpretation of your question is correct. Than you need to split the task into two parts.
1) get internet pass through working.
This means, get pc internet working on your phone. Make sure to install htc sync on the pc, otherwise it will not work. Reason, you need drivers for the phone. So for public pc it is not always possible to install htc sync. If you intend to this configuration for home than just get router and forget this.
2) create WiFi hot spot from your phone.
Way too easy to explain.
Summary,
It can work but:
For public pc - it's a problem to get drivers installed on the computer.
For home pc - it is easier and more convenient to get router.
Recommendation
Forget about this idea.

best way i can explain it.
i want to enable wifi on a netbook. i have my htc sensation and my pc with internet. i want to put the pc internet on the phone and then spread it as wifi to my netbook.
yes yes i know a router is more practical, but not at the moment
This has nothing to do with a certain ROM or anything like that, just a general question. Now, I was wondering if my GS3 is connected to WI-FI, and NOT using any mobile carrier data, can it share that connection through USB tethering to a PC or laptop? I've looked everywhere and all people seem to do is share their DATA connection with their devices, and nothing for Wi-Fi. Thanks in advance! -YK

My bad, I forget to clarify that my PC can't connect to Wi-Fi because it's lacking a wireless card. And just my luck, there are no ethernet ports anywhere.
Then it might be time for a hardware upgrade lol. As for sharing your WiFi connection, I can see it being possible for USB tether, but I have never heard of such a thing. My guess is that there isn't much demand for said feature.

I've known several people who demanded for WiFi tethering, too. All, business related.
To my knowledge, I do not know of a way of succeeding, due to that I've done research myself.
If anything close enough to it, would probably be USB tethering or Bluetooth tethering. But, I haven't tried those personally. Running on CM10.1, which those options are available,
I wanna saw I saw a feature like you're looking for in PDAnet. If you have a few dollars to spare I'd def throw in a PCI Wireless Ethernet Card
Oh whale.
Ah, even after all this time, there is still lack of such a feature. Oh well, just have to wait till I can scrape up a wireless card somewhere.
