Configuration USB 3G/HSDPA or CDMA/EVDO on Ubuntu

I often hear / read about the users of Ubuntu who complains about how to use a 3G/HSDPA USB modem or CDMA / EVDO in Ubuntu, especially on Facebook Page Community Ubuntu Indonesia. In this paper, I will try to help by giving general guidelines on how to configure a USB 3G/HSDPA modem or CDMA / EVDO in Ubuntu.
Before you begin, it helps you see a list of modem devices that have been tested by other Ubuntu users. Maybe there is a special configuration required by the device to your USB modem in there.
The following guide is my attempt at Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx uses a USB 3G/HSDPA modem provider Sierra 885 with Three / Tri and EVDO ZTE AC2726 USB modem with the provider Smart Telecom. (Caution: I am not a member of the Three marketing and Smart ^ ^)
NOTE: I am not responsible if any damage and / or loss of data on the modem and your system, and a soaring mobile phone bills or your credit runs out due to follow these guidelines.
First, do not plug your USB modem device first. Install the package usb-modeswitch first. What is a usb-modeswitch? At the USB modem 3G/HSDPA/CDMA/EVDO released lately, there are 2 modes in the device, namely ZeroCD (usually containing drivers and installation guide on Windows) and a modem. ZeroCD mode typically used by vendors to incorporate support applications (such as Sierra Wireless Watcher on brand Sierra USB modem), digital manuals, etc.. If you ever try plugging your USB modem on Windows-based systems, usually will appear a new drive, which is recognized as CD-ROM drive. ZeroCD is used by vendors to reduce distribution costs do not include a modem with driver CD, because all firmware and drivers are already loaded in the modem itself.
Well, when you plug in your USB modem in Ubuntu (or other Linux distros), then the mode is automatically activated ZeroCD mode. This is what usually causes the USB modem you usually can not directly be used in Ubuntu. By installing the usb-modeswitch, Ubuntu will enable modem functionality to your USB modem. with the entrance to the terminal (via the menu Applications | Accessories | Terminal) and enter the following command:
sudo apt-get install usb-modeswitch
After the installation is finished, now you can try to plug in your USB modem device. After that, enter the following command in a terminal:
lsusb

Is the device you written there? If yes, now you just click on the Network Manager icon in the upper right, select "New Mobile Broadband (GSM / CDMA) connection ...".

Select this menu to start the modem configuration
Later will come the USB modem configuration wizard as follows:

Install Android on iPhone

Surely you've heard that Google Android can be installed on the iPhone, but how very complicated and may not be "friendly" for ordinary users. But now it is available an easy way to install Android on the iPhone, which is using iPhoDroid. There is also a tool that can install Android Bootlace 2.2 (Froyo) on the iPhone without using a computer. Wow!

You need to consider that iPhoDroid / Bootlace this can only be run on the iPhone 2G/3G only; iPhone 3G and 4 are not supported. In addition, although nearly all functions can run Android, but there are still some modules are not supported, such as power management. This resulted in the middle of your iPhone battery runs Android is only able to survive for about 1 hour.

I am also not responsible if your iPhone is damaged and / or your data is lost by following these guidelines. Ready with all the risks? Please read the guidelines here. Good luck!
