Can't connect to 4G on my desktop

[NunoLava1998]

This unfortunately isn't satire.

OS: popOS 19.04

WiFi/Bluetooth card: ASRock B450 GAMING ITX/AC Integrated (Really really nice integrated).

 

I paired my Nokia 3.1 running Android 9.0 with my popOS desktop w/Bluetooth and I noticed that it had an option to let me connect to my Nokia 3.1 for internet:

However, when I connected my Nokia 3.1 to 4G and attempted to connect to it via my PC, it just fails with this error message each time:

If I switch my Nokia 3.1 to Wi-Fi or any other data, it doesn't work too.

My mobile carrier supports tethering and doesn't limit data on it.

How do I fix this? I have no use for 4G on my desktop I just want to screenshot my system saying I'm connected to 4G on a desktop so people wonder how the fuck I did that

Unless you have a specific reason on why you want to do it via bluetooth, just use a USB cable and tether over it.
Latency or rather reliability will be better too this way plus the device will charge while tethering, which can drain the battery rather fast.

Internet over BT in Linux is shit, use WiFi or cable instead.

As I said in the post, I'm not using it for any serious reason.

I don't care about the quality as I said in my post, just the 4g icon

I meant more that BT in Linux is in general a shitshow.

 

Not 100% sure for PopOS since it uses GNOME and I almost exclusively use KDE.

In KDE the only way to get the 4G symbol is for the device itself to have cellular connectivity.

As in a phone, tablet, laptop with some type of LTE/4G hardware. A LTE/4G modem that connects over PCIe counts.

 

Connecting over USB will simply show up the same as a ethernet connection.

With BT you'll get the BT symbol.

And WiFi will give you (as you might of guessed) the WiFi symbol.
