I use a Clearwire USB 4G dongle with my TF700 - or at least, I used to, before the .30 update. *Since then, when I plug in the dongle, the TF700 recognizes it, and shows Ethernet active as before, but no traffic passes to the 4G network.
The same dongle works fine on other devices.
Does anyone know of a fix or workaround?
I assume that you are rooted? If not, then what program were you using to manage it? I thought it was only working with umts program. If you were rooted then you probably lost root, have you opened superuser after the update?

No, the beauty of this USB device is that no software is required to manage it. It just (or used to) work when plugged in. It still does, on other devices.

Hi all,
Since the announcement of WM7 I've been looking more and more into Android handsets as they are going the way to be 'our' toys, right?
One application I use a lot under WM is WMWiFiRouter, which allows me to route my 3g connection to WiFi and essentially use my phone as a router.
Does such a wireless method exist for Android? This software enables me to use 3g on my netbook without using a dongle, therefore having to switch my phone off and miss calls.
Thanks
(hope this is in the right section!)
Android does this WAY better then any of the other OS's. Check out:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Supports encryption, vibration on connect and a tonne of other cool stuff. Then for more speed there's the USB tether, which is identical other then using USB.

Many thanks for the info - Wifi routing is one of the best uses for my mobile on the go and knowing Android can do this, and well, has put it squarely in the cross-hairs when it comes to my next mobile purchase.
You don't have to turn your phone off to use wired tether.
Will this allow USB to Wifi (to use my phone as a USB Wifi adapter)? WMWifiRouter does this.

I can confirm that this works.
I tried it last night. Works fine.
Only works on Vista, 7, or Linux apparently.
Note. The portable hotspot is an easy alternative to connecting to a computer by ad-hoc, which you cannot do by default. Just tell the computer to connect to your Android ap automatically.

So I should be able to just plug the phone in and tether away? Sorry, I am new to this, and have never tethered before. I have CoNcast, but it would be nice to be able to take my laptop with me, and use it while out and about.
Does the tethering option have the built-in wpa2 encryption? As I am assuming that is a security thing - again new to all this.

If you use wifi-tethering, then you might not even need to plug in... the only reason to plug in would be to feed your phone power, rather than depleting it uber fast while tethering.
wired-tethering (the other kind) is also built in, but I can't tell you how to do it. I always use wifi (so I can "enable" multiple devices simultaneously)

Wireless tether for NS4G
I just rooted my wife's and her mom's NS4G that i got them, installed wireless tether app just like i did on my evo, but the NS4G will only let me setup a ad-hoc connection, no option for wpa2 setup?
any Thoughts on what i'm doing wrong?
Reviving a thread from December lol
With the wireless tether app ad-hoc is the only method supported on the nexus s. It does not do infrastructure mode like your EVO did. If you use the native tethering app it will work in infrastructure mode it will not work with 4g though only 3g.

Download the "tethering fix for Android 2.3.5 ROMs" onto the phone and flash via clockwork recovery. This will enable the built in tethering app (accessible from settings>tethering and portable hotspot) which will allow infrastructure mode.
Hope I helped
Is this even possible? Connecting for instance a USB WiFi card to the G2X using the mini usb port? I'm interested in using Backtrack on the G2X but it doesn't support WiFi on ARM from what I understand.
I do not think this is possible because the WiFi card will not recognize the phone's OS.
However, if you have a hotspot (external WiFi card for multiple devices), it will work as it does not require a usb cable.

First you need usb host support. Second android needs drivers for the card which I guess is possible to hack in. Third the app you are using needs to recognize usb host which is most unlikely. It will only check for onboard and the app most likely doesn't have a an option to check anywhere else. I could be wrong though

Does anyone know of a way that I can use an old Droid X as a reverse WiFi hotspot? What I want to do is use the existing WiFi in my house and connect to a device that does not have a WiFi card in it. Is there a way to connect my old phone to my wireless network, then share that connection through the USB cord? Thanks

Yes, It's called "USB" tether. It is built into ICS and Jellybean. Also the app "PDA 3.5" works very well for this if you are on GB or below.
edit:
Just to further explain, you just connect your droid X to your WiFi network, then hook it up to the computer you want internet on with USB, then go to settings > Wirelss and networks > more > tethering a portable hotspot, and select the USB option.
If that does not work then use PDA 3.5 (free market app, works well, gives you full instructions)

Thanks I'll give this a try when I get home. I figured the tether would only work on a data connection. I know in the past when I've tried turning tethering on then it automatically would turn off my wifi.
As far as I knew to get PDAnet to work you had to install on the computer as well. Does PDA 3.5 work the same way? If so I won't be able to do that as I have no way of installing it on the device I am trying to connect to the internet.

You can just download it to your phone and move it to the computer. I think the app downloads the exe file for you.

No problem, man. Just try to not sound so aggressive next time. Mistakes happen.
So, I am currently a bit confused about this thread. Is it somehow possible on stock or not?
I recently tried the XBox One controller via cable on KitKat stock, but to no avail.
A wireless controller for PC isn't available until later this year, so I don't think this is a valid solution right now.
Xbox One controllers do not transmit data via USB ever.
The usb on the XBO controller is for charging only.
It is a wireless only controller as far as data is concerned.
You will never ever get usb to work because ghe controller does not have that capability with any system. It is an all wireless controller except fof charging.
That is why the guy who said you have to use a wireless pc reciever is correct.
Sorry there is no possible work around as the usb port doesnt physically support data transmission.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
But it is news at all. It is good to know.

100% untrue. Xbox One Controller works via USB on my Windows 10 computer, no additional drivers. I don't have any wireless adapters or Bluetooth installed.
Unfortunately, this isn't the case with android. Neither USB/Wireless will work without support from Microsoft.

You will find that windows automatically installed drivers for the xbox one pad as it did for me when i plugged it in. due to being a MS device it has its own repository to aquire the driver from and as such may of updated without you even noticing
EDIT: i stand corrected as of windows 10 the driver is bundled into windows, but there is still a driver, its just windows 7 and 8.x users that need to run a driver update to download them, again this would happen when they plug in the pad anyway

Inaccurate statement, you are just the bearer of in correct information
so all that is really needed is for someone to figure out how to port the usb drivers that windows uses for the xbox one pad (which is fully supported over usb on my gaming pc as well) to an android version. I am very tempted to scour the net for any such development already occuring, failing that i will mayb e develop it myself with the people who are developing on the Nvidia tablet who achieved root on it in the first place. I am considering buying one of these devices myself, but i may look to see if a newer version is in the pipeline anytime soon and if there is save my money for that one. if only they had a shield tablet x1 edition like the tv box
No need to keep quoting me.
I was provided and in turn provided inaccurate information.
I apologize.
