Connection Parameters missing

Hi,

I feel really helpless because of this strange problem that i am encountering.

Ok, so I have a ZTE AC2726 modem. I tried to run it many times on many tablets but it never worked. recently, I installed PPP Widget on my Rooted Cube U30GT mini and followed the set of instructions provided by my network operator (No APN, or pin, only username, password and #777) and it worked flawlessly, a Wifi bar appeared saying PPP Widget and the internet was working.

The problem is that now I am trying to run the PPP Widget on my other Tablets, (Hybrid Urban 2 (RK3066), and Hybrid Mobility (A13)) both have kernal versions 3.0.8+, both are rooted, SU and BusyBox installed, and tried several different OTG cables, but to no avail.

The error it gives is that, whenever I try to connect, it opens the "configuration" screen and says "connection parameters missing. Please setup modem". the same settings work on Cube, but not other tablets, :S

Furthermore, once I check the Pin option (Even though the sim has no pin enabled) it stops giving the Connection parameter error. but then gives the "Modem Setup Failed" error.

I have spent alot of my energy and I am dying to get it to work.

Someone please help.

P.S it asks "want Super User to grant root access?" only once in these tablets, whereas in the Cube, it asked me twice.
[Acer Iconia A500] JFDee:
I assume you have installed version 1.2.5.

In that version, the error about missing parameters will come up only if

1. the dial string is "*99***1#" AND

2. the APN field is empty.

It will also come up if you disabled automatic port selection, but forgot to give the port to use in the following configuration entry. I suspect that's your problem.

I recommend to always try automatic port selection first, so you might want to leave the option enabled (the default).

My Nexus 10 says no driver found. What additional drivers are needed? How do I get them?

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] JFDee:
I have assembled a small collection of driver packages for some common devices. They basically contain the "option" and the "ppp_async" drivers.

Sorry, mods, I have to link to my PPP Widget forum directly:

See the sticky "Driver Modules" thread.

mfc123,

I need one of the modules on your device (just one) to determine the exact kernel configuration.

You can try to just attach it to your reply. (If it doesn't work here, use the PPP Widget forum.)

The smallest one is probably "scsi_wait_scan.ko" which usually sits in "/lib/modules" (sometimes only visible with root access, e.g. with "Root Explorer").

It should work - in theory. If not, then please post your USB log (enable "Logging" and re-plug modem).
[Acer Iconia A500] mfc123:
Yes, I tried that package. Unziped to the correct folder and have rebooted the phone. I can only send the logs tomorrow, I'm on work:/

[Acer Iconia A500] VK Singh:
Thank you JFDee for making this amazing app. I successfully used it on Penta IS701C tablet with a vanilla GSM/GPRS phone. The tablet runs Android 4.0.3 & kernel 3.0.8. But surprisingly USB HOST mode is not enabled/broken on this tablet. USB Diagnostics App reports that only the kernel can access the connected devices in USB Host mode. A connected device does not even show up as ttyusb etc. It only appears as tty1-1.4 in the dev/usb folder. I am guessing it is a node on the root hub. However PPPwidget is able to use it once it is specified manually.

Would you please provide more information on how this widget communicates with USB devices even when USB HOST mode functionality is broken in the tablet's firmware. Please consider sharing the source code as this would be useful to a lot of people. Android 3.1+ versions are supposed to provide USB HOST mode but this feature is broken in a huge number of devices in the market.

Thanks,

Vineet

JFDee,

You are awesome!, works perfectly on a Acer A200 tablet, it get a little hot but ive use it a few hours with a Huaweri E50 Device.

I'm very pleased with your app, thanks again.

Best Regards
[Acer Iconia A500] JFDee:
Thanks for the info. However, I did not have any report of a problem like this before. On most devices, the USB host mode itself is not a problem, whereas the USB power often is ...

That's easy - the widget code itself doesn't use the ports at all. There is a plain vanilla pppd 2.4.4 included in the package which is given the name of the port as a parameter and then deals with it.

The widget is managing the 'system' side - modem discovery, modem mode-switching, port check through the "sys" file system - and then run pppd on the ports found or specified.

Again, my experience is different. I only know about USB problems on some development boards which are most likely hardware- or driver-related.

I will not release the source code, sorry. I'm using one or the other undocumented 'feature' of Android to make it accept the network connection. I want this to work for a bit longer ... There are also security considerations.

Note however that all the components PPP Widget uses are unchanged Open Source programs.
[Acer Iconia A500] r00t4rd3d:
I have an old version Nexus 7 with stock Android 4.3 that is rooted. A Huawei E220 USB 3G Dongle and a T-Mobile sim card.

The access point name I am using is epc.tmobile.com

PPP Widget detects everything but when I touch Connect it says Dialing Out for a couple seconds and goes back to Disconnected.

The PPP Log shows the following:

Using port ttyUSB0 for connection ATE1 OK

AT+CFUN=1 OK

AT+CGDCONT=1, "IP","epc.tmobile.com" OK

ATD*99***#1 Connect Script Failed

Any ideas?

About wifi hotspots internet sharing from ppp widget

Update

---------------------------------

Just to update for Jelly Bean 4.3 (using 1st gen Nexus 7). Got this to work again but had to :

- update Wifi Tether to the very latest version, which right now is wifi_tether_v3_4-experimental1

- this version comes with an option to "Send No Tether-Interlace Cmd" which is selected by default and is apparently necessary (didn't work with it deselected)

- Also had to select "Wifi driver reload" (not 2). Come to think of it I think I had to select this in the previous version too. Sorry didn't mention that before, but that's what trial and error is for I guess.

That's it. Working simultaneously on both tablet and connected device.

------------------------------------

End of update.

Wifi hotspot internet sharing from a ppp widget tablet is doable. All you need is an app to do the tethering. There are a bunch of them, but the one that seems to work with ppp widget is "Wifi Tether for Root Users."

The Play Store page doesn't seem to be available, but you can get it at the developer's site on google-code:

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

If it doesn't work with the default settings (it didn't for me) all you have to do is try the other settings for the Change Device Profile option. The one that worked for me is "Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)"

The hotspot created in my case was infrastructure mode, although I think you can change that if you want and/or it might be device dependent.

I've also checked to make sure you can use the connection on your tablet and connected device simultaneously, and it works fine.

Note that the beta versions seem to work perfectly.

Note also that there is another app by the same developers called "Wireless Tether for root users" the difference being wireless tether can tether over bluetooth but I don't think it works for newer Android versions since they haven't updated it since 2011, focusing on Wifi tether only instead.

My device: 2012 Nexus 7 wifi with Jelly Bean 4.1.2 (waiting for ppp widget to work on 4.3). Stock everything.

Thanks again JFDee for the widget!

I know its a widget buddy.

I am not that idiot though not a developer.

The widget shows up asking for me to launch it when I insert the data card. It shows in the recent apps list that it has been open but shows nothing at all.

This is the actual problem I am facing.

vnc server

hello, i would like to remote scess my a500 where runs a droid vnc server

when the tablet is connected to my home wifi network i can connect without any problems,

because in the router i set up the forwarding of port 5900 to the local ip of my tablet.

but when the tablet is connected through ppp widget i dont know what i have to do to forward port 5900 to the local ip address..(generated by the widget?)

any suggestion?

ps...thank you for the great app!!
[Acer Iconia A500] webjunky:
if your tablet uses PPP then it is not using your router at all.

in that case you will need to know your tablet ip

No other setting checked.

When I touch the ppp icon it gives me choose device option and when I select zte nothing happens..

I have flashing green light on my modem all the time.

Help is appreciated!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] maris__:
As the developer noted on his website, PPP widget is NOT working with Android 4.3, as this android version prevents loading modem drivers required for the proper function of the PPP widget. I fear going back to Android 4.2 is the only solution (or hoping Google will change this kernel behavior in later Android versions).

With best regards, maris

Hello,

This is my first post here and I hope someone will help me. I have a huawei EVDO modem model EC226 which I've been trying to use on my nexus 7.

I have installed the PPP widget and it has seen my modem. The problem is where I press connect it doesn't. I actually use this modem as my primal internet source. It uses a Sim card, obviously. Its a prepaid modem so I don't need to enter a username or password. So what I do is install and press connect. There is nowhere to see whether there is access point name or not.

Here is my settings on Mobile Partner on PC.

Profile name : Anything

Access Number : #777

username : Anything

password : Anything

When I try to connect on my nexus 7 it doesn't connect. It says dialing out and then shows disconnected.

Great work, thank you!
[Acer Iconia A500] dtg7:
You're talking about the pop up that comes up when you plug in your modem. Of course you select PPP Widget for that, and click always so that it doesn't keep coming up every time, but you also still need to have the widget placed on one of your home screens. Did you do that (long press on a home screen, select widgets and select ppp widget)? If so that is what you use to setup and connect your modem, not the pop up or ppp widget in recent apps list. don't forget you also need to be rooted.

---------- Post added at 10:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 AM ----------

There's no bluetooth functionality with ppp widget so you're in the wrong thread. If you googled the issue you shouldn't have landed here. anyway try the app called Blue VPN that works fine mostly except not all apps will be able to use its connection. Browsers should work.

---------- Post added at 10:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 AM ----------

First not sure it's obvious that evdo modem uses sim card. I use an evdo modem and it doesn't have one. The modem hardware is registered directly on the network. Anyway yours works on your PC so that doesn't matter. If your PC settings include an APN then you need to set that here too. And yes it is there in the widget settings, near the top. You can also try putting some random words in the user name and password areas. If that don't work I suggest you turn on logging (very bottom of the ppp widget settings) and present your issue with the logs at the ppp widget website forum. You can google "ppp widget" to find the site.

[Acer Iconia A500] dtg7:
PPP Widget 1.3.3 and Kitkat

The problem is with dns handling. Until we get an update, you can get limited connectivity one of two ways:

- the wifi workaround (which is basically using a wifi network to change your tablet's dns address to a public dns server like google's 8.8.8.8)

- or you can try using some type of mod.

Both are explained further here: http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/bb/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1808

Both options seemd rather convoluted, so I took an (in my view) easier path, I installed the first DNS related application from the store (DNS Changer). I connected with PPP Widget and then set up DNS via this application and off you go. Note: DNS lookup via 8.8.8.8 is visible slower than your local DNS but at least it works.

Network awareness

Hello,

I know this might be a stupid question, but I'm not a techie at all, and I've been looking for an answer for quite some time, to no avail.

PPP Widget is just amazing, that's out of the question. However, is there any way to use it for downloading stuff, say, from Google Play? Or use it with Dropbox, or Gmail? As far as I understand, you can only use it for internet browsing, but no downloads are possible, since the device doesn't even know you're online.

I have an Iconia a500, rooted (some Thor ROM thing), Android 3.2 and use a Huawei e353.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

[Acer Iconia A500] JFDee:
PPP Widget was created as a work-around for users who don't have mobile network built into their devices.

Quite often, manufacturers have disabled any way to activate the mobile network part of Android. That's what PPP Widget will work around by creating a mock Wifi connection. For this, any real Wifi connection has to be disabled temporarily.

If you have active Wifi and mobile data anyway, then PPP Widget is probably not the right app for you.
