Kubuntu adding phone as modem isn't working

[Ignorant_Icicle]

Where was I unclear? To be fair none of the apps in Ubuntu worked,so testing the ones from the Kubuntu app store was in itself unlikely to work,but worth a shot.I doubted it would be something so simple if 1 of the board members at my local Linux Group couldn’t get it to work…

but shouldn’t it be possible to use it as a modem somehow like I was able with a simple USB in Kubuntu?

@Ignorant_Icicle

can I type something in the terminal to see if it’s there?

@Ignorant_Icicle

I couldn’t install any apps on the phone/use any apps,so extremely slow ,couldn’t log in to Spotify/other apps,browser worked though so I was using a regular old USB cable to connect the phone to the laptop on my old laptop.I could try a tethering app again,which would be safe to install? All the apps are on the Nokia app store though.

never taken a screenshot with it,searched in the user guide if it was possible & no results.Tried pressing menu button & on/off button but that only shut the phone off

I don’t see how that’s unclear,but then & again I have the experience of going through the trial & error with bits that may seem obvious to me…I did the logical thing of going into the settings & trying to set it up where the phone would show up but would not connect in the " Edit your Network Connections" menu

Reading every post of this thread it was never really clear to me what your sub-issues were. I understood you want your phone to be connected but I didn’t understand what you stumbled upon.

[Ignorant_Icicle]

stumbled upon? I don’t understand

i’m glad to hear you finally found something that worked
