Connect Xperia to a Wireless USB Modem???

Hi,
Is it possible to connect Xperia to a Wireless USB Modem to access the internet????
I have a Reliance ZTE mg880 usb modem which I use for my laptop. Can I connect the same to my Xperia using a usb to miniusb cable to access the net???
Currently there is no 3G services in the place I live in... so just was looking for alternatives....
Regards,
IHWM

no, unfortunately, the mini usb of the Xperia does not provide power.
It's also why you cannot use USB mice and keyboards through the mini usb port.

[Q] USB Tethering between TAB (P7300) and Smartphone (I9003)??

I have a Galaxy GT-I9003 phone and a GT-P7300 tablet.
Both devices support tethering to a PC via USB but, according to customer care at Samsung NZ, it is not possible to tether the phone to the tablet (or vice versa) with USB, only via wireless or Bluetooth.
I find this a bit strange.
Any thoughts??
I looked around for a cable to connect the two devices so that I could test this, but it looks like Samsung does not supply such a cable.
It may be possible to rig a cable using the cables supplied with the devices and a USB adapter??

doesn't it strike you that your phone has to be in USB host mode while your tablet as USB client?
That alone may be a feat to achieve, cabling comes later.

Always thought USB was a 2-way street.
Never considered the host/client scenario.

for example, your PC USB ports are host ports. You can connect devices to it and the OS will see the device and use it.
The port in your phone/tablet is usually a client. You only plug it so that the PC can see it.
Having said that, Galaxy Tab 10" has a USB host port function, and you can plug a mass storage to it, a mouse, or a keyboard, I think.
Some of the cheap tablets even allow you to plug a USB 3G dongle modem to it.
Now, whether your GT-I9003 has host port function, I don't know.

[Q] OTG with USB hub instead of Y cable?

Hi friends,
I want to attach to my touchpad memory card reader and external hard drive.
I wonder if it will be possible instead of buying Y cable and connect it to the OTG, to use my existing USB hub and connect to him the devices and the external battery bank.
Will it work?
Thanks

im assuming youre talking about doing this in android 4.0.x +. if so then yes you should be able to connect an externally powered usb hub to the OTG cable and connect more than one device at a time.

Thanks

Yes. You need to give power to the periphal usb devices. I tried the same yesterday, without problems.

Hey all
I have a powered Belkin USB hub (this one: http://www.belkin.com/us/F4U040-Belkin/p/P-F4U040), coupled with an OTG cable which I know work together, as my Kindle Fire recognizes all USB devices through this setup (Keyboard, Mouse, Flash Drive etc).
I was surprised to find that my HP touchpad does not recognize any devices connected to this hub.
I did some diagnostics with USB Device Utility, and the touchpad recognizes my USB OTG cable, as it shows as a 'Qualcomm On-Chip EHCI Host Controller'.
The touchpad simply does not see anything plugged into the hub, be it a keyboard, mouse or flash drive.
Please help me here, guys!
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Are you sure that's powered? The picture doesn't show any DC connectors. Is it powered by something like a mini USB to USB cable on the back? If so, that might not be enough to power the device and the peripherals attached to the ports.

The belkin does have an external dc power supply and is not powered via usb

I think you need a Y cable even with a powered hub as its purpose is to inject power back into the OTG chip in the Touchpad.

USB Hub is not recognized

Hello,
I have an AUKEY CB-C32 USB hub with Ethernet adapter. I tried (just out of interest) if this device is working with my Nexus 5X. But the problem is, that my phone does not recognize the adapter. Nothing happens when I connect the adapter to the Nexus. Also the LED indicator on the adapter does not shine.
Why is this device not recognized?
Best regards,
wewa
PS: Yes, I connected the correct cable/port to my phone.

Question USB Dongle

Hi, guys!
Do you know if there's a way I can attach a USB Dongle into the port that's in the HDMI end of the Ready-For cable?
I mean, I have a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, but they will only connect to the dongle that came with them, I have a regular USB to USB-Type C converter, which works on the phone if connected directly to its port, but if I connect it to the HDMI, it doesn't, if there a way to make it work?
I hope I managed to explain myself.

The HDMI's USB is only for charging. And if your keyboard and mouse connect to a dongle they are wireless but not bluetooth, if they were then you would be able to directly connect them to the phone. The solution is to either to buy a USB C hub with HDMI and USB or buy bluetooth periferals.

That really makes a lot of sense. I hadn't thought about it that way.
Thank you very much.
