So I ran into this problem recently after I installed an Android headunit into my car. The device can only receive internet one of two ways. Either I use my hotspot on my phone and connect to my phone's internet to allow my cars headunit to play music OR I use a 4G LTE USB dongle and attach it to my headunit directly. The problem with the second option is the following. When I plug the 4g LTE dongle into the USB port of the Android headunit, the device is not recognized. I know the device works because I've plugged it into my laptop and received internet no problem. I'm assuming this is because this particular USB dongle only operates using windows RNDIS driver. Since it seems there are very few products on the market (4g LTE USb sim dongles), the best solution I can come up with is maybe compiling an RNDIS driver for Android? The current dongle I have is the third one Ive purchased, the first two didn't work at all with my GSM sim. One was just faulty and the other for European Frequencies. I'm wondering if compiling a RNDIS driver for Android would even work in this case so that my car headunit can recognize and receive internet from the 4g LTE USB dongle.? Or if anyone knows of a dongle that works with gsm sims and works fine with android?

Any one know how to get an internet connection working using an ethernet to USB adaptor?
I have one of these:
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=217752
& an mini-usb adaptor but, plugging it all together doesn't seem to register anything on the raphael - suggestions welcome?
I'm basically trying to get an internet connection in hotel rooms (travel a lot) where the RJ45 is free but wifi is charged (stupid but common).
Unfortunately no drivers
While Windows XP and Vista are 'Plug and Play', meaning they have a driver for practically every hardware peripheral ever devised, WinMo is not - the device you have will do you no good without a WinMo driver.
instead, I would look into getting a small travel router that would provide you WiFi. It's another thing to carry, I know, but will end up being the least problematic and most direct solution.
Thanks I feared as much - is there such thing as a generic driver for WM6 network devices that could work?
The driver that shipped is labelled ADMTek, but googling I didn't find any drivers for pocket PC or WinCE
Greetings everyone. I am having an issue with my Ascend 2. I am trying to connect my bluetooth to my carPC. The carPC uses 3DSP Mini PCIe Bluetooth/Wifi card installed into the machine. Originally these come USB but was integrated into the machine. I am using BlueSoleil to connect the phone to the PC. This software lists services available from the bluetooth device it connects to (Personal Area Network [PAN], Serial, Printing, etc...)
When I connect the phone to the PC I only get Object Push (vCards).
Does anyone know how to make more services available via bluetooth?
Im not even sure what service I need in order to dial out of my stereo (carPC), but I think it would be headset microphone.
Any ideas/custom ROM's I can use to establish dialing?
Hi
I have the hu in my s-max, i've tried two diff, usb modems with no luck, the modem shows that it's on-line but i can't find it on the radio, the little triangular icon never pop-up, and absolutly nothing happens, the modem i'm using is identical to the one carjoying sell on there webshop. they have a video showing it's plug'n'play, but on my nothing happens
i've tried the dongle on my laptop and it's working after install, but problem is, i cannot install on the hu, and looking in settings it only have acces to wifi connection.

Hello,
I have a Joying 5.1.1 HU with RK chip which has absolutely horrible Wi-Fi connection. I recently got a freedompop account (Sprint's network) which gave me a wifi hotspot.
I plan on taking the sim card from the wifi hotspot and putting it into a LTE USB dongle (either Franklin U770 or Netgear 341U for Sprint bands).
1. Is it as simple as plugging in the dongle to one of the USB ports on the back of the Headunit?
2. Is there possible compatibility issues between brands of dongles?
Thanks.
Better to buy the dongle at Joying website, to avoid compatibility issues...

1. Yes, if your USB 3G/LTE dongle has already pre-configured (also, not PIN enabled), mine works this way.
2. Yes, you may refer to some of the threads/posts here or in MTCB forums for the list of compatible dongles. I have 2 3G dongles on hand but only one worked.
Also, mine has "USB3 is not mounted" issue quite frequently since I started having the dongle plugged in. I have tried to switch between the 2 ports given and also flashed a few ROMs, to no avail, same thing happened. Not enough power maybe? Still looking for an easy fix. Maybe a seperate Mifi could work or I stop playing music from USB instead.
Erisin (LM) MTCD unit. This works for me:
1. Huawei E220: disadvantage is that it needs two USB slots, one for additional power, else won't work properly
2. Huawei E367: not recommended, because it's dual-mode (includes USB storage mode). By default it's in USB storage mode, to make it work I have to use PPP3 Widget after root.
To answer both your questions:
- yes, compatibility issues can occur, check MTCD thread on pda4, there is a list of tested modems. Other than that, you need "Mobile Network Settings" apk, if you don't see the menu in settings, so you can configure the APN.
Hi. i would like to know if there are any compatible 4G dongles ... ?
This may be useful to you - I currently have issues with using a WiFi dongle on my XTRONS GS MTCD.
The head unit boots in about 1s from standby, but the WiFi dongle (XTRONS 3gdong008) takes about 20-30s to boot.
If I want to get nav / streaming music running, I have to sit there for ages while it turns on and connects.
Very annoying - I've gone back to using my mobile as a hotspot for now.
I'm considering adding a permanently live USB port and leaving the WiFi dongle always running, although I'm not sure if this is going to drain the car battery while parked overnight.
Hi guys. I'm getting stuck with this problem. I don't have a good house network (my isp is terrible) so I started using my Smartphone (huawei nova 5t) to play with my xbox on online games. Until now i've been using the Hotspot (wifi),but it's instable and it pings a lot. So I was wondering how could I use a cable to use my LTE connection on my xbox via ETHERNET using the USB Thetering . I bought from amazon an adapter that's Type C-Ethernet. It's a really good one,but when I plug it to my phone,my Huawei doesn't let me use the USB thetering,I can't activate it. So I was asking if there is a way,an external app or something that could make me do that. My idea is LTE---> Otg Type C Ethernet---> Xbox one. I found nothing on the internet about this,all the threads are about using that OTG to connect my phone to a router and using the router internet,and it works perfectly that way,but I wanna use the cable in the opposite way. I wanna share my smartphone connection with my xbox. Can I do that with that otg or it's just impossible..? Thanks forward.
Hi there. I need the same thing! Sorry to bump late but at least there's only 2 of us.
I think it's called
REVERSED TETHERING via an ETHERNET dongle. (or HOST mode?)
It should be technically possible because ethernet dongles are supported by a lot of ROMs but this function is usually going in the other direction.
Tetrd is another useful search term.
Did you get further with this since you last posted this?

If you can put a windows device between the set up, you can use the program Connectify to make your windows machine a router and choose the ethernet out and plug it into the xbox. And then usb tether the phone into the computer. Connecitfy works with speedify too so if you have multiple hotspots you can bond them together and get a more reliable connection.
Or, I suppose, a Raspberry Pi
