Program for connecting a card reader to an android tablet. How to connect a phone as a modem to a tablet
Each user at least once in his life faced such a situation when the tablet does not have a 3G module, and the Internet must be accessed from the tablet. If the phone or smartphone is with you, then you can try to synchronize these two devices. So what are the ways to distribute the Internet to a tablet? Connecting your tablet to the Internet via your phone is possible! And it's easier than it might seem.
Connect your devices to go online
Synchronization using Wi-Fi
The connection principle described below is intended for the Acer Iconia Tab A100 device, but it must be taken into account that this circuit is universal in principle, i.e., it is suitable for most similar devices.
Installing the required software
Note! To ensure stability during the synchronization process, you will need to ensure that your Android smartphone has ROOT rights! If you ignore this point, you will most likely fail.
We get ROOT. Process getting ROOT-rights will be described a bit later. It should also be noted that effective method Root control is a small application "Superuser", or "Root Explorer" (special file manager).
Request a program for root rights
Now you must make your portable handheld device a dot. WiFi access. To do this, you may need the JoikuSpot Light program.
Program interface
If the old version of Android
If you have Android OS v.2.2, then do the following: click "Add wifi network”, after which you will need to manually enter the “JoikuSpot hotspot name”. After that, go to the section: "/ data / misc / wifi", where edit "wpa_supplicant .conf"!
Pay Special attention! You must necessarily check the rights and the owner of this file! Check that it is like this: "660 system.wifi". Otherwise Wi-Fi will not work and you will only get an error message!
At the very beginning, you should now add the following line: "ap_scan=2". Note that all networks without exception will be scanned (including ad-hoc networks). And then write as shown in the figure below:
Input options
As for the last line, it must be added if there is a password and wep mode= 1. It is added only to indicate ad-hoc.
Save. After saving, return to wifi settings. The dot should now be visible. Get your individual address from her, and proceed to the next step.
Phone connection
Get ROOT rights for your tablet. Download the program http://acer-a500.com/getfile-512
wpa_supplicant_xoom_wifi_adhoc. This application is necessary for the successful completion of the process.
Next, deactivate Wi-Fi on your tablet; rename (using ES explorer) system/bin wpa_supplicant => wpa_supplicant_old (that is, we make a backup of the file); then move "wpa_supplicant" to the system/bin folder (originally look for it in "/sdcard/downloads").
We look at the properties of the file moved in the last paragraph (we press the file with our finger until we are asked to select an action - select Permissions), then change the parameters there as follows: “User”: read, write, execute. "Group and so on": reading, doing. Total: "rwx r-x r-x".
Choosing options
After all this, go to reboot, and then activate Wi-Fi, and try to connect to the access point that you created earlier on your phone!
Internet on a tablet without using Wi-Fi
Synchronization using Bluetooth
It is not surprising that in our time, almost all active Internet users carry a bunch of tablets (for games and videos) + phone (mainly for calls) with them. What to do if your device is not modern enough, and it does not have Android, but you still want to synchronize it with your tablet?
An example of connection will be given on the Nokia 701 device. Very often in such cases, the tablet at point blank range refuses to see the network distributed by such a phone. So how to be? I would also like to note that a similar method may be suitable for other phones (even without Wi-Fi). All you need is Bluetooth.
Elements required for connection
- Tablet based on Android OS;
- Phone with Bluetooth and Internet
- BlueVPN (a program that is free; you can easily download it from the Market): http://vk.cc/1xu0m4.

Synchronization steps
First, install the above software on your tablet.
Program window
Pay attention to the list of devices that is displayed in the menu of this program. Here, choose the phone that you need - of course - after activating Bluetooth / mobile data on it.
Synchronization completion notification
If you saw about the same as in the picture above - congratulations, everything went well. Now you can browse the Internet from your tablet.

Obtaining ROOT rights on OS Android
With the special GingerBreak software available, you can get superuser rights with one click. This program also has another, no less important advantage - in particular, the ability to “unroot” (return to its original state).
Gingerbreak window
So how do you manage this program? Everything is quite simple. Install the file with the ".apk" extension, and be sure to note that it is unacceptable to put this software on a microSD card! Install it in the memory of your gadget!
After completing the installation, check that the "usb debugging" item is checked. If you believe the statements of the developer of this software, the microSD card will be required in the process of the program itself, so you can not remove it. The process takes about ten minutes in total. Upon successful completion of the process of obtaining ROOT, your device will reboot.
It should be noted that sometimes the program freezes. While this rarely happens, it can happen to you too! When you see a frozen program, you might think that the process ended in the middle, ending in failure. But in reality, things could be different. In case of freezing, do not rush to press Reset. Wait 15 minutes, then perform an emergency reboot. Even in this case, there is a possibility that you will have ROOT rights.
Between any of your attempts to get or remove ROOT - reboot the device, this is important. You can download the software from the link: http://vk.cc/2K52id.
Rooting software
We use any GSM phone as a modem
How to connect phone to tablet? Let's start with the fact that you need to decide for what purposes you need such a connection:
- for data transmission;
- for management (the most interesting).
We exclude the cord immediately, although this can be done both theoretically and practically. Long, inconvenient, costly - these are not all the minuses. As a rule, the phone is connected to the tablet for data transfer. Upload videos, photos or documents. As such, in direct meaning words, you can connect your phone to the tablet via direct Wi-Fi or via the Internet.
In the first method, you need to enable direct Wi-Fi on both devices (may be called WiFi Direct etc.). 
You need to go to Settings and select the desired option in the “More” section. The beauty is that the files are dumped at a tremendous speed, averaging around 50 Mbit. Next, in any file manager, select what you want to transfer, and send it to your tablet / phone.
Through the Internet, you can complete the task in many ways. The easiest way is to upload the file to a file hosting service and then download it. We will not give examples, just type the word "File hosting" in the search. But this method has already become obsolete.
It is much better to use services like Dropbox. You create an account and put there necessary files. You install the application from the service on your phone, tablet, computer and on all other devices, if desired. Now, no matter where you add files from, the latter will be available on all devices. You can access them even from any other device (a friend, for example) by simply going to the browser. Convenient, isn't it? The process itself relates to the question of how to synchronize the tablet with the phone. This also includes other services. The same Yandex, Google, etc. with their virtual disks. Google will be especially convenient for Android users. In addition to the virtual space, you can create documents for co-editing, communicate like in Skype, etc.
Internet sharing from phone to tablet
We won't stop here for long. The easiest way is to create a portable hot spot from one device. On iOS, you just need to move the slider in the Tethering Mode section of the gadget's settings. On Android, this section is hidden in the "More" Settings category. Only instead of the slider, you need to check the box next to "Portable hot spot". In new versions of Android and wizards of individual companies, the function was moved to the status menu (upper swipe).
How to control your tablet with your phone
Here we got to the most interesting. Users often use the tablet as a home media center by connecting the device to a TV or speakers. But, why do you need to control the tablet from your phone? Everything is simple! You relax on the couch and watch a movie or listen to music. Maybe you just want to play the game. You can just take a phone and use it as a remote control for a tablet or a gamepad for games.
Let's start. Both devices must be installed from the Market Tablet Remote. It must be said right away that the program is not the same as Red Admin or TeamViewer. You will not be able to fully control the tablet from your phone, but, as mentioned above, it will do as a remote control or gamepad. Moreover, you can connect devices not only via Wi-Fi, but also
If your operator is MTS, then you can connect the following. way:
Internet settings via GPRS:
APN (access point): internet.mts.ru
Modem initialization string: AT CGDCONT = 1,"IP","internet.mts.ru"
GPRS modem activation code (dial number): *99***1# or *99# (for some models, an activation code is not needed)
Username and password: empty
IP address assigned automatically
DNS assigned automatically (leave default settings)
Internet access settings via GPRS step by step for operating systems Windows
Firstly:
Make sure your phone supports data transfer via GPRS.
Secondly:
Before you start setting up your phone and computer, you need to make sure that your tariff plan allows you to use services based on GPRS and that the necessary service is activated with your operator.
Third:
First you need to connect your mobile phone to your computer (laptop or tablet). This can be done in the following ways:
using a Data cable connected to one of the COM ports or USB ports of the computer;
using infrared (IrDA) port;
or using Bluetooth technology.
Fourth:
The next step is to install the modem that will be used to connect (we consider the case when the modem is built into the mobile phone equipment).
To do this, we need to go to
Start
Setting
Control Panel
Equipment installation
Then you need to manually select the type of equipment (modem) and install its driver (a program that ensures the operation of this equipment - a file with the extension .INF) Drivers are located on the CD, which is usually included in the kit mobile phone or purchased additional equipment. Drivers can also be found on the mobile phone manufacturer's website.
Fifth:
After installation, it is necessary to prescribe the line of its initialization in the modem properties. To do this, the subscriber must go to
Start
Setting
Control Panel
Phone and modem
Modems tab
move the cursor to the previously installed modem and click Properties
In the Additional communication parameters tab, in the Additional initialization commands field, enter the initialization string: AT CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet.mts.ru" (It is important to enter exactly and not skip characters, otherwise there may be problems when establishing a connection!)
At sixth:
After you have successfully installed the modem and specified its initialization string, you must create a new remote connection with an arbitrary name (for example, "MTS-GPRS"). For this you need:
Start
Programs
Standard
Connection
select the New Connection Wizard -> in the window that appears, click the Next button
select Connect to the Internet -> click Next
select the item Set up a connection manually -> click the Next button
select the item Through a regular modem -> click the Next button
opposite the previously installed modem, check the box -> click the Next button
in the Service provider name field, specify an arbitrary name (for example, "MTS-GPRS") -> click the Next button
in the Phone number field, enter *99***1# or *99# -> click the Next button
in the Username field, specify mts, in the Password field, specify mts, in the Confirmation field, specify mts-> click the Next button
press the Done button
Seventh (for Windows 95, 98):
It is necessary to uncheck the box next to the line "Use country code and communication parameters" in the properties of the new connection.
Eighth:
The new connection is ready to go, you can start the session.
Good afternoon. I was interested in your answer "If your operator is MTS, then you can connect in the following way: Internet settings via GPRS: APN (dot ..." to the question http://www.. Can I discuss this answer with you?
Discuss with an expert
