Nougat 7.1-r5 and LTE 4G Modems

[Jason Gaunt]

Hello everyone,

I recently bought an Intel laptop (Specifically a Getac V110-G3) that came pre-installed with a Sierra Wireless EM7305 M.2 LTE modem. This worked out of the box with Windows 10, however I am unable to get it to work with Android x86 7.1-r5 (Nougat).

7.1-r5 otherwise runs perfectly on this laptop, kudos to the developers :)

Sierra Wireless documentation claimed this LTE modem would work in Nougat on x86, which led to me buying this specific laptop, however after pouring 30-40 hours into repeatedly building Android x86 from source and their drivers, it turned out the shipped pre-compiled RIL binaries only supports Android on ARM :(

My question to this group is this; Does anyone know of a LTE / 4G modem that works with Android x86 7.1-r5 (Nougat), or even better, know how to get this LTE modem working?

Thanks in advance,

Jay

AFAIK, there's no working RIL implementation for Android x86.

I would be incredibly disheartened if that were the case, there are plenty of x86 laptops and tablets out there with wwan modems :(
