4g USB modem with Android (wifi only, ICS) tablet?

Will the VZW UML290 4g USB modem work with an Android tablet (obviously without a built-in 4g radio, only wifi)? There is no VZ Access Manager software for Android, would an Android networking app do the trick?

Hi, I have the same question because I want to buy a Transformer Prime. <Content deleted per the Verizon Wireless Terms of Service>
The best that I could find is that you'll do just fine with a MiFi hotspot device and the appropriate Verizon account. Reviews seem to favor the 4510 L over the Samsung MiFi device. If you have an account for the Pantech now, you can upgrade your contract to the MiFi. All of your computers, Android, Mac and Windows will work on the MiFi hotspot because there is no software needed to connect.
Alternatively, you can check out Cradlepoint wireless routers. They offer a boatload of portable WiFi routers that can tether to any number of mobile devices including the Pantech UML290. For the Pantech, you plug it into the Cradlepoint router's USB port and create your own portable hotspot LEGALLY with your Verizon Pantech account. You then connect your Transformer wirelessly to this hotspot bypassing the need to use the VZW interface that is not yet, and may never be, Android compatible.
As for your original post regarding an Android app for the Pantech UML290, I'm certain some 'enterprising' droid devotee is working on it, However, I've not yet found anything on the web yet that provides a viable work around except for the completely legit MiFi from Verizon or a Cradlepoint wireless router.
NB to Verizon support. You should have provided the MiFi information, it's your product for pete's sake.
Good luck!

Why are you using a usb ethernet adaptor? Just plug the modem into the usb port.

Apple USB modem with broadband?

Im thinking of buying the apple USB modem.. however i have broadband. not dialup.
could i connect to the internet with the USB modem with a broadband connection?
Thanks if anyone can help

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Apple's USB modem is strictly for a dialup connection, not broadband.
If you need to connect to broadband, you'll need either the internet service provider to give you an ethernet modem, or a WiFi capable modem to hook up your Mac to. Macs will hook up to either kind of broadband connection. USB broadband modems are harder to connect to and often require an extra firmware update, and can be subject to speed restrictions of other items sharing your USB bus.

I have an iPhone with an unlimited data plan. Is there a way to go online with a wifi only iPad using my phone for access?

If your iPhone cell carrier allows you to use Tethering, you can turn your iPhone into a wifi hotspot, then your iPad Air can connect to that for internet access. Not all cell carriers allow tethering without you signing up for additional fees/services. For example, AT&T in the US still has grandfathered "unlimited" data plans, but they do not allow tethering for those plans. With AT&T you need to switch to a Mobile Share plan (or a tiered plan if still available) to use tethering (legally).

Ibook wifi with usb modem with adsl router

how could you connect the ibook so that it's wireless to the phone line. I'm gonna have to buy all the parts but what's the easiest way to do this ?

To give the iBook G4 wireless the ability to connect to a wireless network, you simply need to install an AirPort Extreme card. The last iBook G4s had wireless built-in.
If you have a ADSL modem without an Ethernet output you will need to replace that modem with a modem that does have an Ethernet output. Then you can buy any inexpensive 802.11b/g compliant wireless router to provide a wireless network for your iBook.

USB modem with non 3G iPad?

I have just bought a 32Gb wifi only iPad. I have no experience with any form of mobile data plans (3G stuff), so it is all new me.
If I buy a USB stick modem, is there an adapter that enables it to be used with my iPad?

I strongly recommend the MiFi. It works great, is very small, portable, and it can also be used to provide access for up to 5 devices. The best deal I found was at 3Gstore.com.

Fios remote app on android wifi only devices?

So many people these days have a tablet. Some ipad, some android. I Dont know how this topic1 applies on ipad because i do not have one.
But i have an android tablet which is wifi only. The fios remote app for android is wifi only. I cannot use it on my phone unless i am connected to wifi.
So why am i asked for the last 4 digits of my phone number?
Unless someone has a workaround for this, i cannot use the app. And to me it would be pretty cool to use this tablet as a remote. Plus i could show my pictures on tv.(assuming that function is stil there)
Ive tried a google voice number but no dice.
So does anyone know whats going on with this?
Any employees with answers?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok so it looks like my problem doesnt apply anymore as it was fixed with the latest update. Silly me.
But now i am trying to find out how one connects to more then 1 device.
On the remoteapp i cant find how to add another dvr

HUAWEI USB modem with AEBS Networking

Hi All,
I have just got myself a HUAWEI USB modem from 3 Network here in Australia and was hoping to hook it up with my home network (iMac G4, Airport Extreme & AppleTV) as I can’t get ADSL in my area.
I have the iMac G4 connected to the AEBS via ethernet but I’m not sure how to hook up the modem. From what I have read the USB plug on the AEBS hasn’t the drivers for the HUAWE USB modem so the modem is connected to the iMac but this wont share internet connection to the AppleTV.
Has anyone run into this problem and has got a solution?
I plan to buy a new iMac and Time Capsule this year but feel I may still run into the same problems.
Thanks in advance.

I can see this working as follows;
1. Plug the HUAWEI USB modem into your iMac G4
2. Configure internet sharing on the iMac to share the USB Modem connection via the Ethernet port of your iMac (see the following support article for details http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8156.html)
3. Run a cable from your iMac to the WAN port of your Airport Extreme
4. Test the internet connection on the AppleTV, if everything is configured properly you should be able to access the internet.
The only caveat here is that you need to have the internet connection up and running for any device on your network to access the internet. If for whatever reason an internet connection is not available (and with a 3G USB modem is does happen as I've found out here in the UK with T-Mobile's USB modem) any application will eventually timeout and give you an "Internet not connected" error.
My experience of 3G Broadband, while on the whole has been very positive, has seen a good 3G internet connection disappear or dramatically slow down on occasions where the only remedy has been to disconnect and re-connect the connection.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Jason

Using Pantech 4G LTE USB Modem with Chromebook

Got a Chromebook for Christmas, but I don't have wi-fi at home. I do have the UML290 modem for my windows laptop.
Can I install VRZ manager on Chromebook, and use the USB modem on it to connect to the internet?
TIA
Rick

No! Chromebook uses Android OS, you will a CradlePoint MBR95 or Pepwave Surf on The Go Router to insert the UML290 and then you can use the built in wifi in the Chromebook to connect to the router and get internet access.
You can get the gear at 3gstore
Here is some Reviews on the MBR95 works like a champ

Can I share my personal hotspot with a "wifi only iPad mini" or does ithe ipad have to be wifi cellular device? I'm using an iPhone 5 with ios7.2

I am about to buy an ipad mini for my daughter, with wifi only capability & wondered if I was able to share my internet connection via my personal hotspot on this device. I know that you can on an ipad with wifi + cellular device, but wondered how it worked for the wifi only model. I have an iphone 5 ios7.2 & would be using my personal hotspot from this to share with the ipad mini in car journeys etc. The wifi obviously is great when at home. Thanks for any advice or comments.

Thank you so much, a direct answer on something Ive been trying to get an answer for all morning. ipad mini with wifi only, is capable of sharing a personal hotspot on my iphone 5, but you think that in some cases it can be expensive. My provider insists that my personal hotspot sharing is free. I am with 3. Problem solved.

Using USB modem with a macbook

I use a vodafone usb modem to connect to the internet , and i am currently trying to download a torrent using Azureus , but my download speed has never been higher than 10kB/s.
Does any one know how to configure a usb modem to Azureus so the speed can improve. Or does anyone know another software which works better with usb modems ... help.

My speeds are related to signal strength just like my phone coverage which is relatively the same thing because the usb modem is a phone of sorts. In urban areas, the strength is much stronger than in rural areas but for the most part, I am very happy with Verizon. I've found that the device is not as important as the provider and the quality of their network.
To me, the ability to use my machine anywhere I choose is appealing regardless of the speed.

Orange USB Modem with "Mobile Partner" connects but won't load pages

All,
I talked Orange Telecom into giving me a free trial with one of their USB modems. I plugged the modem into my MB Pro, installed the "Mobile Partner" software and configured the connection settings as specified by the Tech. I am able to connect fine using the device, however, it will not allow me to receive data, so I am unable to load web pages. The connection says that I am sending data, but not receiving anything. Any ideas on what I need to do in order to successfully receive data?
Current Settings are as follows:
Connection: Orange
APN: orange.ug
Phone Number: *99#
user: orange
password: orange
with these settings I am able to connect fine, but no data is received. I am guessing this has something to do with a setting in Network Preferences, but I can't figure out why it's not working. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Sig - thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I was sitting with the Tech rep when we configured the settings, so we are both sure the phone number was right. Additionally, I am connecting and I can see that information is being "sent," however the problem is that no information is being "received" so I am unable to load web pages, etc.
It must be some sort of problem with the network settings in Mac OS because there does not appear to be any problem connecting to the service, the problem has been receiving information. Any other suggestions or help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
JB

Usb scanner with root permissions only

Hello
When I open xsane with regular a user, the scanner does not get detected by it. Only when I open xsane as root.
That's probably a permission issue. My user is added to the scanner group.
How would I correct this?
Thanks

brebs wrote:
Write a udev rule to identify the scanner and give it the right user group & permissions. Google search is your friend
Just to confuse the hell out of us, different distros use different group names. Some have "scanner", some use "usb", some don't even have "usb".
Example: In /etc/udev/rules.d/91-local.rules
# Scanner.
# sane-find-scanner ; scanimage -L
# From http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-33 … ml#3311185

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{product}=="CanoScan", GROUP="usb", MODE="0660", SYMLINK+="lide25"
I googled it quite a bit to find out this process is rather difficult for newbies. I even read udev wiki but I can't come up with a rule myself. The gentoo forum post you referenced has udevinfo command while it has been replaced with udevadm and the script wouldn't work.
Would you give me more directions?
Here's the output of sane-find-scanner as root.
