Nexus7 UMTS-Stick extern working

Xda2013 · Sep 12, 2012

Hello!

Yesterday evening i managed to connect my external UMTS-Stick ( Huawei , free gift from Alice /O2 Provider in Germany ) via OTG Kabel

xxx.amazon.de/gp/product/B0090N2FBA/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00

to my Nexus7.

Stock Rom, Android 4.1.1, rooted.

I used the app PPP Widget. ( xxx.draisberghof.de/android/pppwidget.html )

Everything worked like a charm.

I hardly found informations about Nexus7 working with this app, so i just wanted to spread the good news.

If someone needs information about the exact hardware version of this Huawei stick, i could post information later on.

As far as i tested, all applications got working internet connection.

Greetings.

Great news. Does the app need root or will it work on an unrooted device?

Root access is mandatory....

So far with the OTG USB cable i`m able to access my pictures directly on SD-Card in my EOS 1100d Canon Camera with Sticky Mount ( Play Market ), connect a USB 3.0 NTFS 32 Gig Stick and , as described, use an external UMTS modem.

So a few good reasons for Root.

Cheers.

Root is not necessary! play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.homeysoft.nexususb.importer&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd

Nexus Media Importer allows you to import and stream music, video, photos and documents from a USB flash drive or SD card connected to your Nexus 7, Galaxy Nexus, or other Android 3.2+ devices with USB Host support.

you can`t mount an umts stick with this method, no writing on media, no NTFS !!!!

i was hoping you'd correct it that way, as i have the same stick, unlocked since last week. works perfectly with my multisim and my 5gb plan

two drawbacks, no pin support (don't like to have my sims unlocked, but meh), and disconnect doesn't work, but you can always just unplug it.

Wooow!
I'm writing this turned wifi off and connected to O2 Germany zte 3565-z UMTS stick.
Tapatalk, browser, play store are apps I've tested until now. All working fine.
I will do speed test next.
Thanks a lot for your hint.

This is fly sh**

Provider is slow but I couldn't believe that this is working without doing any stuff. Just installing this widget and permitting root.
Really great!

You are right about the umts but I think the latest version of Media Importer supports NTFS.

Another alternative to having a usb stick hanging off the device is to use a pocket wifi portable modem. Be useful for just a data card but 4 hour battery life in use might be an issue when on the go.

Since all my mobile data is on my phone plan I'll stick to tethering..

The widget got an update today (0.99 to 1.0).
I don't know the difference yet.
