Hi guys, i wanna buy an used p6800 but for some reason it dosnt support any kind of simkards and i need to use 3G internet on that, is there any solution like using an external 3G dongle for using internet on that?
thanks...
If you have root, you can try PPP Widget. Just add it to your homescreen and give root access.
I personally haven't tried it because have no USB dongle.
Website and FAQ here : http://www.draisberghof.de/android/pppwidget.html
Download here : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.draisberghof.pppwidget
Although their website says Android 3.1 and up, during my kernel development I have seen gitHub source changes for PPP Widget support. The source could be for increasing USB power (edit : supply current mA) for the dongles to work from tab (properly) without an external supply. Can't remember.
Cheers,
UITA

Hmm... AFAIK, don't think installing PPP is enough to get 3G USB dongles working with Android if the kernel don't provide 3G USB dongles drivers... ^^
That was possible with the ASUS TF101 as a dev provided a 3G drivers pack for HC but can't remember if this pack is still compatible with ICS (compiled for NVidia Tegra 2 SOC)...
And why Samsung would do this with a device supposed to be 3G ready ???
Then, do you have experience in developing such drivers pack with no USB dongles to test on ???

At least let OP try, and then report back.......
I did make mention of kernel source changes, just couldn't remember exactly what. Seems like a waste of time for a 3G device, but OP sure to have a reason.
Sorry, right now I don't have the time to look into the matter, or even attempt without device or dongle

Of course, let OP buy a 3G USB dongle he won't be able to use it as he won't find any driver and the such, making this USB dongle simply useless...
I guess if he buys a used P6800 with a failed internal 3G part it's because he doesn't have much money to waste.
I already know the literature about 3G USB dongle uses and no need to talk about the OTG capability of the P6800 and the "juice" this device is capable to deliver enough power for the USB dongle...
He will need an unlocked 3G USB dongle with a driver he will have to find and compiled by himself, a precompiled "option" module, a precompiled usb_modeswitch specifically for the Exynos with the big APN database (usb_modeswitch.conf or usb-modeswitch-versions.xml) unless he knows exactly what APN to enter, finally and probably a modified kernel AND a very good tutorial to teach him how to set all this up, including the AT commands and such !!!
And we don't even know if he needs CDMA or HSDPA version depending on the provider and the Sim Card he has or will have, nor in which countries he is living in... ^^
On the other hand I suggested a universal independent self powered 3G WiFi Hotspot Router he could use "out of the box" with any equipments such as smartphones, tablets, PC, for Android or Apple iOS, etc... for his past, present, or future uses...
For the literature about 3G USB dongle uses, start here (just for samples, but Google is your friend including XDA forums of course) :
http://freedune.wordpress.com/2011/06/23/success-with-usb-3g-modems-on-android/
and the well known draisberghof.de website (which also provide the PPP widget for Android), even though this is related to Linux, the principle is the same for Android as all tools have to be recomplied accordingly :
http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/
For the universal self-powered 3G WiFi Hotspot Router, there so many, starting from as low as $16 to over $200 (LTE version) depending of the quality, his needs and the money he can afford to pay for...
Just some suggestions as samples of what is existing on the market... I used Amazon.com to be simple and to offer an idea of what exists, but he may have to use his local retailer depending where OP is living... :
http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Broa...5&sr=8-9&keywords=3G+WiFi+Router+hotspot+cdma
http://www.amazon.com/17597-Unlocke...&keywords=Huawei+E5331+3G+WiFi+Router+hotspot

http://www.amazon.com/Huawei-E589-Pocket-WiFi-Router/dp/B00ALSYTK8/ref=pd_sim_pc_5
Now, he can make his own decision with the good informations...
EDIT : forgot to mention : whether OP uses a 3G USB Dongle or a 3G WiFi Hotspot Router, he won't be able to place a phone call BUT just for Internet data access, unless stated otherwise... ^^

Hi, I have a great suggestion for an app.
In Windows 7 you can download connectify and it will turn your computer into a wifi hotspot..an app similar to this for android would be a great idea and find lots of use not to mention tons of $$$!
I do know that there is a such app on the iphone (called Mywi) but it is only avaialble when you "jailbreak" but android market seems much more lenient since there are many tethering apps available like PDAnet but they are restricted on the iphone

That is for rooted devices only. I mean for people who would rather not "tamper" with their devices and leave it as stock
well those people can wait to upgrade to android 2.2, since it's part of the stock android rom.
Or they can pay sprint 20.00 per month. But for me I'd rather have full access to my phone.(I'm just saying). If ur concern about violating term of contact I think there is an unrooting thread out there somewhere.

Actually, it is. Wether it makes it to your device or not depends on hardware/carrier and what not. It is removed from CM's Magic ROM, because the Magic does not have the correct chipset to support it.
It's likely most carriers will remove this to 'protect' their networks... So rooting is probably your best option for this. The issue is that root is needed from a technical aspect in order to perform the changes needed to the networking stack etc.
So for now it's either froyo with it included (needs your telco to be cool about tethering) or use the wifi tether app and root
I was scared to root my phone due to the fact that I was new at it and could brick my phone and lose my warranty.
But I grew a pair, and I'm rooted and do not regret it....

The USB (wired) tether *is* included but you have to pay for it-not free.

Are you telling me that wireless tethering is native to a stock
ROM from all Wireless providers and that they "choose" to leave it in or
omit it?
I'm sure if this is the case...it is a purely on a technicality.
Do you know of ANY stock ROM out there in existence that
leaves this feature there for its users (so that the wireless provider)
loses millions of dollars in revenue?
Well considering that native wifi tethering is new to 2.2, I guess we'll have to wait and see who pulls it and who keeps it.
And how does it lose millions in revenue anyway? I pay for a 6 gig data bucket. If I go over said data bucket, I pay through the nose for it.

Simply really.
Count how many smart phone users there are that purchased
a smart phone that may have the capability to (tether) either wireless
or wired, and add $20.00 per head on a plan...
In other words, companies don't want you to use your wireless phone's data
to operate other wireless enabled devices *unless* you pay a premium to do so.
Here in the US we have "unlimited" data plans when using the phone.
Verizon Wireless, and other network providers want that extra coin since you
are operating a device on their network.

I am in Europe, yes. The wireless access point is simply like connectify on your phone. However, my carrier, O2, some how detected that I was tethering my laptop, and after a couple of days, managed to prevent that working. But my girlfriend's desire continued to connect successfully.
It is a default app that you simply toggle on or off.

I have the DX with verizon wireless. It came with wireless hotspot installed but i would have to pay for it in order to utilize it. I rooted and now use Barnacle located on the Market. Have to have root access as well as busybox installed for it to work though. But yes 2.1 and 2.2 come with it stock out of the box. You just have to subscribe for it to work. But I like it free . I have used barnacle for up to 3 Laptops at the same time and it works great for me.
Mods if this thread is more appropriate in the Epic 4G Themes & Apps section, my apologies and please move it.
So, it seems that Android does not natively support connecting to Ad-Hoc wi-fi networks.
Is there any of the developers out there interested in, or that would take the time to put together a patch that would work on the Epic similar to the one listed here:

It's disappointing that this is something Windows Mobile 6.1 supports out of the box as old as it is, yet Android doesn't natively support/allow.
I hope someone can take the time to do it too! It be great to be able to connect to a wii which is one reason we need it cus otherwise it cant be done...

Isn't that basically the same thing? I mean, the first step of ad-hoc wifi tethering is to connect to an ad-hoc cell. Tethering requires a DHCP server and IP forwarding on top of that.
Long story short: ad-hoc mode is supported if you're rooted and don't mind running iwconfig/wpa_supplicant manually. A GUI wrapper could be made around this if one hasn't already, but I suppose there's little interest in ad-hoc mode in general. For example, if folks actually cared about it then it wouldn't have been broken in the Intel Linux wireless drivers for the past two years.
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?

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.

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
FYI - in case anyone is interested, I was able to easily tether my TF700 to my Android phone over bluetooth. It'll even share your phones wifi connection via bluetooth! Extremely easy to setup and it just works...
1. Install FoxFi on your phone
2. Install "PDANet for Tablets" on your TF700 (available for free in Play Store)
3. Select "Activate Bluetooth DUN" in FoxFi on the phone
4. Run PDANet for Tablets on the TF700 and configure it for bluetooth.
5. Simple pair the tablet and phone from within PDANet for Tablets.
6. That's it - you'll be tethered to your phone via bluetooth!
I can't believe how well it works.... Enjoy!
Also - Can do the same thing for wifi tethering as well. The nice thing about bluetooth tethering though is that you can actually share the wifi connection on your phone via bluetooth (something you can't do with normal wifi tethering)... Although, I guess if your phone can connect to wifi, you could just connect your tablet directly to the same wifi! But, it works nonetheless!

Well, if you mean the "paid" hotspot, this method is free. Plus, bluetooth tethering should be easier on the battery as well.
Agreed about with sharing wifi over bluetooth - like I said, it works, but if your phone could connect to wifi, your TF700 should be able to connect directly to the wifi as well. Only purpose for that would be if your TF was not "allowed" to connect to the wifi due to some policy (but your work-supplied phone could) - you could just connect to your phone for wifi access...
But again, the main purpose would be for free tethering (instead of paying a monthly fee).

I paired my phone to my tablet without any of the apps mentioned and was able to get online using the phone's 3G connection. I do have an older phone (DroidX), maybe that makes a difference as far as not needing PDANet, etc.
Forgot not everyone has the ability to do free hotspot. My phone hasn't had a stock ROM since the first handful of stable ROMs were available.

Also, just thought of a use for the share wifi feature. AT&T has alot of free hotspots that are free to ATT devices only, often found at McDonalds. There is often regular free wifi, but the ATT only is less crowded and I usually see faster speeds. I suppose in this scenerio it would be useful too.
It's useful if your traveling with kids and they want to download a new app or something. I have actually found quite a few uses including at work to use it. I just use the hotspot though. The only bad part is that it kills your battery FAST so make sure you have a charger.
I just use Widgetsoid on my Galaxy Nexus to tether.

Either I'm missing something or this is *not* a "Standard" feature for all carriers. In my case, I'm using a "pre-paid" phone from VIrgin Mobile. It's $35/month for unlimited everything (except phone minutes - you get 300 anytime minutes). I certainly can "pair" my devices via bluetooth, but I don't get an option to share my internet (and even thought the devices did "pair", they will not "connect" to each other).
I do know that "tethering" was an extra monthly option in my case (an extra $15/month option!).
Again, I don't see any way to tether without using these apps. The phone itself is an HTC EVO V 4G (re-badged EVO 3D) - If I try to enable the wifi "portable hotspot mode" I get an error and it just won't work. Cannot find a way to share the internet via blutooth either (without said apps).
So, I do believe that this method will be useful for some as I don't believe that you can tether for free with all carriers.
Again, unless I'm missing something!

As I mentioned, I use wifi tethering. I also have the GNote (ATT Version, I717) running King Kang AOKP rom and never have an issue. If you flash ROMs you may be better off just using wifi as it'll autoconnect when you pop the wifi from your phone and no pairing and connecting and pin code mess. Just a thought.

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.

54G usb cards run like 10-15, hell you could probably find someone willing to practically give them away on CL
