3G external USB modem

[George]

A screenshot with the error would help, post it here and also check your internet provider’s settings(on the website) to make sure you have put the right info in the right box. It happened to me many times on android tablets with 3g modems to make mistakes with the settings.

George thanks for helping me. I’m sending a screenshot that contain error information. I check and recheck many times info in configuration boxes, I also contacted my provider, and everything seems to be OK. It is strange because dongle works flawlessly when Chuwi is under Win10 OS.

Anyway, if anything goes wrong, here is parameters and warning from screenshots:

Acces point name: internet

User Name: telenor

Password: gprs

Dialing String: *99***1#

Modem Port: tty USB0

Message on screen: “Turning dongle network on failed, please check connection parameters”

Try this first:Check if wi-fi is disabled !(it has to be disabled for the modem to work)

uncheck manual port selection and also disable dongle suspend and try to turn on the dongle again.

If that doesnt work you should try to root your tablet and use the program called “PPP Widget 2” from playstore as your “connection software”

As the guy from ppp widget said you should use superSU as your main root app(easy to do) but first:install kingoroot get the root access and start PPP widget 2 and give it the rights to root and see if it doesn’t crash it might work from the first attempt.

If the program crashes or something try: – install superSU-give superSU root rights and deactivate(block) the kingoroot from Settings->Apps and then try again with superSU as your primary root app

You could provide the maker and model(serial blabla) of the 3g dongle(found on the label inside where the sim card is) and having the root acces whe might get lucky and infuse the “driver” in the root folder if i can find what type of modem chuwi hi8 uses 🙂

Done the “infusing” thingy on a non name android tablet and it worked maybe i just got lucky…

George, thanks again for your help. Fortunately I came to solution. I tried everything, including change every input in parameter boxes on various way and combination. At last I change input for ‘Modem port’ from “ttyUSB0” to “ttyUSB2”, and suprisngly all came in order. Dongle works without problems, no matter how many times I click on – off, or plugged and unplugged dongle. I still don’t know reason, but 3G external working, and I am satisfy.

Thanks for help.

Happy it works now :), Enjoy it!
