[08:08] I'm using my ubuntu phone as a usb tethering device [08:09] 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] Well, around the base, or whatever [08:10] I have something around 20kb/s bandwidth, but this connection seems to be pretty stable [08:11] Took me a whole night to download 800MB [08:11] Anyway, I've been working on -controls [08:11] The first version of it, which was meant to be SRUd to trusty [08:11] I'm almost done. Just need to package it and upload it. [08:19] Is the bandwidth due to ISP limitations, or do you think it's the tethering? [08:19] Bad connection to my GSM service [08:20] In part of the cabin I can get up to 200kb/s, but only for short periods [08:22] Ok. Is it possible to put the phone in a better location, and use wireless tethering? [08:22] Don't think you can use wireless tethering on this device, not without reconfiguring network stuff manually [08:23] 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] Oh... thank $deity I couldn't afford it after all. :D [08:24] YOu can do some stuff with it from the PC its connected to, using a tool called adm [08:24] Right. [15:15] zequence: do enjoy your vacation :) [15:16] 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. [15:21] 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. [15:22] The 4G network in my phone is several magnitudes faster at best. [15:24] 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. [15:30] Oh, no. :)
