Hi there, Has anyone been able to successfully use a USB 3G modem with the Android build for the UDOO? I have a Huawei E1786 (USB ID 12d1:1446) but cannot get it to work. Below is the output of lsusb: Code: 1d6b:0002 (bus 1, device 1) 1d6b:0002 (bus 2, device 1) 0424:2514 (bus 2, device 2) 12d1:1446 (bus 2, device 3) <-- this is the USB modem E1786 148f:5370 (bus 2, device 4) and an extract from dmesg: Code: <5>scsi 0:0:0:0: CD-ROM HUAWEI Mass Storage 2.31 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 <5>scsi 1:0:0:0: Direct-Access HUAWEI SD Storage 2.31 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 <5>sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI removable disk After doing some Googling, it looks like the problem is probably down to the USB modeswitching (from Storage to Modem). Any idea how to solve this? A Google suggestion was to use PPPWidget from the play store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.draisberghof.pppwidget) to connect to the USB modem, but the widget kept saying 'no modem found. Worryingly the modem isn't being picked up in /dev/tty*, despite being listed in lsusb. So, to have a manual go at things, Android UDOO does not come with a usb_modeswitch binary, but I was able to get one by downloading PPPWidget and cd'ing to the 'app_bin' directory of the app's data directory (/data/data/de.draisberghof.pppwidget/app_bin) - however, I do not have any modeswitch configs on the Udoo to use :/ I'm going to try and create one this week to give it a go... (for reference: http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=4075) Additionally, if I try and create a new APN (Settings > More ), enter the correct information for my network (in this case, Vodafone UK), and click Save - nothing appears in the APN List?! Any ideas why? Thanks, Mike
Update: I got things moving a bit. Using PPPWidget, I added the correct APN settings, un-ticked 'automatic device detection'. Then clicked on the widget's icon, selected the huawei dongle (sometimes 12d1:1446 or 12d1:1001), then clicked configure. Then, looking at the USB log I found the correct tty port (ttyUSB2), selected 'manual port selection' and entered that into the settings. Then back in the widget, I clicked 'connect', it seemed to dial out and connect initially, but then got stuck sending LCP config-requests (log below).
