| zequence | I'm using my ubuntu phone as a usb tethering device | 08:08 |
|---|---|---|
| zequence | Had to enable that feature using android tools you get from a PPA. The phone is not strictly Ubuntu. There's some android at the base | 08:09 |
| zequence | Well, around the base, or whatever | 08:09 |
| zequence | I have something around 20kb/s bandwidth, but this connection seems to be pretty stable | 08:10 |
| zequence | Took me a whole night to download 800MB | 08:11 |
| zequence | Anyway, I've been working on -controls | 08:11 |
| zequence | The first version of it, which was meant to be SRUd to trusty | 08:11 |
| zequence | I'm almost done. Just need to package it and upload it. | 08:11 |
| astraljava | Is the bandwidth due to ISP limitations, or do you think it's the tethering? | 08:19 |
| zequence | Bad connection to my GSM service | 08:19 |
| zequence | In part of the cabin I can get up to 200kb/s, but only for short periods | 08:20 |
| astraljava | Ok. Is it possible to put the phone in a better location, and use wireless tethering? | 08:22 |
| zequence | Don't think you can use wireless tethering on this device, not without reconfiguring network stuff manually | 08:22 |
| zequence | So, I haven't bothered. The usb part was pretty easy to set up. Just connect the phone, unlock its screen, run one command - done | 08:23 |
| astraljava | Oh... thank $deity I couldn't afford it after all. :D | 08:23 |
| zequence | YOu can do some stuff with it from the PC its connected to, using a tool called adm | 08:24 |
| astraljava | Right. | 08:24 |
| OvenWerks | zequence: do enjoy your vacation :) | 15:15 |
| OvenWerks | astraljava: I am not sure why one would do wireless teathering... to me it would make more sense to set the pc to wireless directly. I am not aware of any portable PCs that do not come with wireless anymore. | 15:16 |
| astraljava | OvenWerks: In my case, I use it when the housing network proves too slow, and I need more bandwidth, for streaming video or some such purpose. | 15:21 |
| astraljava | The 4G network in my phone is several magnitudes faster at best. | 15:22 |
| OvenWerks | astraljava: ok, I think I missunderstood you then. I was thinking you ment to set the phone to wireless connect and teather that to the pc via usb. | 15:24 |
| astraljava | Oh, no. :) | 15:30 |
