Can I use my Samsung A740 Cell as a Broadband Modem on my Powerbook?

K...I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right area. Anyway, here it goes. I've got a 12" G4 Powerbook (unhappily 14 days before they released the new one with the built in iSight) and I've been toying with my Samsung A740 Cell Phone and a Data Cable...Well, i can download and upload everyting using BitPim and it seems to work pretty good. I got to thinking...since this only has WiFi and doesn't have a card slot for a broadband wireless card, I thought I'd try using the cell phone. The system seems to 'see' the phone...it adds Samsung CDMA to the Locations preferance and the phone screens say that it's synced to PC and shows the little icons. Well, that's as far as I can get...I can't find anything on neither the Samsung site, Time Warner, or the Sprint site on what I need to do. I have no idea what settings I need to change on the phone or what to set on the Powerbook. I think I'll have to call Sprint and try to figure something out. I thought it would be great to be able to quickly access email or the internet on the Powerbook while away from WiFi. Anyway, any tips or info would be great.
Thanks much...

Yes. I've got data services. No one from Sprint will tell me a single thing. Samsung actually replied to me telling me that it's not possible and that I shouldn't even be able to read anything form the phone. Hmmm...As usual, it will take some hacking to get it working, because I've downloaded BitPim and I'm able to retrieve everything from the phone. That's when the PowerBook automatically sets up the Samsung under the Locations settings as "Samsung CDMA". It says that it's set up but not connected. Oh well, I've got the JiWire widget WiFi finder and I seem to be able to find hot spots all over. Just thought I'd give this a try.

Can I use the samsung galaxy phone as a hot spot for the ipad

can I use the samsung galaxy phone as a hot spot for the ipad

If your Cell carrier supports it, you should have an option in your phone for "Portable Wifi Hotspot" under Wifi and networks.
Look in your Phone's manual for specifics.

Once you set up the Hotspot, the iPad can connect to it like a regular Wifi network.

Can I use a samsung galaxy cord to charge my Iphone?

I have a samsung galaxy and want to only carry 1 cord when I travel. Can I use the samsung USB cable to charge my Iphone? they look the same but I don't want to try if Someone is sure it will hurt my phone.

No, they do not look the same. Open your eyes and take a 2nd look.
The iPhone cable connects to the iPhone via Apple's proprietary dock connector.
The cable for the galaxy connects via an industry standard microUSB cable.

Can I use my Samsung HM1100 to play music from my Ipad2 ?

Have you not tried?
I would have thought you would prefer stereo. And to listen to music, the device you use needs "A2DP".

Can I use my Samsung Galaxy 3 as my reader with digital editions?

Can I use my Samsung Galaxy 3 as my reader with digital editions?

You should install an app such as Bluefire or Aldiko, or for Overdrive if it is just for library books.
I don't think the device will actually show up in Digital Editions (ADE).
For non-DRM books you don't need ADE at all.
For DRM books you need to make sure the app is registered to the same AdobeID as your copy of ADE.
You can than
get books onto ADE in the usual way,
'sideload' the .epub to the Galaxy; eg copy using a file manager such as Windows Explorer or Mac Finder
read the books on the Galaxy.
Good luck.

Can I use my Samsung Wall USB charger to charge iPod Nano (6th gen)? (output is 5.0V, 0.7A)

Can I use my Samsung Wall USB charger to charge iPod Nano (6th gen)? (output is 5.0V, 0.7A)
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Charger-Detachable-ETA0S20JBE-ECC1DS2UBE/dp/B004R0 5W1G
My biggest concern is that it will fry the circuitry. I don't know what the Amp output is on the Mac-branded wall charger, but I think that USB 2.0 usually only goes up to 0.5A.

Quick answer is: You can if it works, but it is not recommended.
Hope this helps.

Can i use my samsung gallexy note tablet with my hp officejet j4580 printer

Can I use my samsung tab with my hp printer?

Hi tacky53,
Unfortunately to be able to print from the tablet, the printer would require networking to be Eprint compatible or use the device Apps designed for printing. I only see the networking option for the J4680, for the J4580 only USB connectivity is supported. If you need more information about your product, Click Here.
Hope this helps!

Can I use a solid state drive (SSD) with a G4 1 GHz powerbook? If so, how do I do it?

Hi:
Can I use a solid state drive (SSD) with a G4 1 GHz powerbook? If so, how do I do it? Thanks.
fromx001

fromx001 I believe you can use a SSD as internal drive, of course make sure to buy an ide/ata. There are all sorts of sizes up to 480 GB also in the ide/ata standard. You should however research carefully your purchase, as the performances of your SSD are going to have to rely on firmware "garbage collection", as the older operating systems haven't been written with SSD in mind.
Mac Man JW: some people depend on Classic as a brody said, other people need a phone modem from time to time, other people use the laptop in harsh environments, and at -15C and below, LCD screens easily crack and break; NOT the powerbook which has hot air towards the screen (and it's a machine that heats quite a lot). My alu Powerbook 12", which was *not* treated with velvet gloves, only once had a cracked screen: a cleaning lady had stepped over it (!!!!) no joke. And in normal / light use today, it is still pretty decent and usable.

Can I use a Nokia C2-01 as bluetooth 3G modem for an iPad 2?

Can I use a Nokia C2-01 as bluetooth 3G modem for an iPad 2?
I asked the same to Nokia support, and they told me that the iPad should be compatible with one of the following profiles: "A2DP, AVRCP 1.0, DUN, FTP, GAP, GAVDP, GOEP, HFP, HSP, OPP, PAN, PBAP 1.0, SAP, SDAP, SPP 1.0".
I just didn't get it ._.

Yes. Download Nokia Suite. Then connect your phone to the pc via Nokia Suite. Define proper access points. Then you will be able to use the phone as modem.
Please mark the post as solution if it solves your problem.
Current Device - Nokia Lumia 1020/920

You can share your "cellular data" with the computer and other devices through "personal hotspot". You may use USB cable, Bluetooth or Wifi for sharing.
Reverse tethering (sharing internet connection of your computer with iPhone) is not supported.
Call your carrier and activate the cellular data/3G plan on your package. Note that "personal hotspot/internet tethering" is operator dependent feature. Confirm with your carrier or go through this article to see if your carrier is listed and offers this service.

Can i use my Samsung Galaxy SIII on verizon from att?

Im going to switch to att and i was curious if i can use my samsung galaxy SIII from att on verizon.

Verizon uses CDMA for calls and texting. At&t phones do not have CDMA radios as they use GSM. Now the phone does support Verizon's XLTE frequency but not Verizon's 700 MHz LTE frequency. So you won't be able to call or text and only part of Verizon's LTE network will be available to use.

On the Mac Pro Desktop can you use a Samsung smart tv as the main and only monitor? Is there any reason one would not do that with a wireless keyboard?

I have not purchased the Mac Pro yet when I do my thought is to use our Samsung 55" Smart tv as the main monitor along with a bluetooth apple keyboard. Any suggestions would be appreciated

A TV set is not a Monitor.
A TV set is intended for displaying moving pictures, and not stable, static pictures, with bright, saturated colors in adjacent areas on the screen without "bleeding", fine lines one pixel wide without vibration, or smooth-edged diagonals in fine text edges.
The 55" width is beyond your ability to see the screen edges when sitting close. If you sit appropriately far away, the text will be too small to read.
The Mac requires that any display respond to a query including display_name and capabilities. Many TV sets have a problem "paying attention" to the computer port and responding when queried, so the screen may often remain dark at startup and after sleep, requiring your intervention to show a picture.

How can I use my Samsung 193p as a second monitor?

I am trying to use my Samsung 193P Monitor as my second monitor. It usually has great contrast and good color when attached to my PC. I plugged it into my imac using a DVI to mini DVI adaptor I bought at the apple store. Now it has awful color and the whites are a muddy grey. There do not seem to be any drivers to download. I've called Samsung and Apple and they have no ideas. It is at 1280x1024. Does anyone have any ideas for me? Is there a way to get the monitor communicating with my imac?? Thanks.

Thank you for the suggestions. I tried again. The thing about the Samsung 193P is that it doesn't have any external "buttons" to push for contrast and brightness. You are supposed to use MagicTune to do this, but of course, that is not compatible with mac. Without any adjustments, it usually looks great on a PC. Do you think I could use my Spyder to calibrate it with the mac? Could I only calibrate the 2nd monitor? I don't want to adjust the new mac monitor in any way. Would that be an option?

Can I use my Samsung Charge in another country ?

If I replace the LTE card with a SIM card from another country, will it work ??

Actually, it can be used in many countries - including Japan and China where I travel frequently. Verizon is partnered with carriers in many countries. BUT it is only CMDA, and it does not have a GSM SIM for example, so you are locked into using these partners only, and the voice charges are steep (like $1.99 a minute) and data rates ridiculous.
Because of the high rates, I only use text messaging except for urgent calls, and turn off data.
Bought an inexpensive GSM phone to use in China - got a number in-county, and it is very inexpensive, even to make international calls. Use that same phone in the U.S. as a backup (major carrier other than Verizon in the U.S.) (I can recharge the account on-line to ensure the number remains active, even if not using it for months).
Contact Verizon helpful service at 611 and they will give you straight skinny to answer specific countries and rates.
