    My trusty old ZTE Android wich I used as an wireless access point for my computers was stolen the day before yesterday... I have a Nokia N8-00 but it seems to be really flaky... I had to d/l an app to get basic internet connectivity tethering working, but lot's of sites using https fail miserably. I'm kindof out of options here... Does anybody know if upgrading to the premium version of JoikuSpot solves these problem? Or if it is possible to somehow use USB tethering on the N8-00.

    Are there outher options? I'm thinking some kind of wireless router that I can fill cash for GB...

    Edit: I just realized that JoikuSpot works with Windows 7, but Ubuntu 14.04 gives me all kinds of problem...

    It's not too hard, I do it with mine. (Nokia N95 / Ubuntu 9.10)

    • First, plugin the phone with the USB cable (don't know how to do it via Bluetooth),
    • on the phone, choose "PC Suite"
    • on Ubuntu, right-click the network manager (the icon at the top-right) and choose 'edit connections'
    • Click the 'Mobile Broadband' tab
    • Click 'Add' at the top right
    • Choose your mobile from the list (or whichever one is most similar)
    • Follow the prompts to fill in your username/password (If you didn't do this on your phone, you don't need to now -- defaults should be good, but it depends on your service provider)

    You can set that connection to be 'auto', then whenever you plugin the phone and click 'pc suite' in the future, the internet will just happen.

    Connecting the phone to the computer should allow you to create a GSM profile in NetworkManager so that you can connect.
