Hi guys.

Did anyone try one of the 3g WiFi routers?

See i-tec W-POINT 3G Router for example.

I have a 3g USB modem myself, and curious whether it can be used with an Iconia I intend to buy.

I am curious

Can someone figure out how to use 3G USB Dongle with the A500 ?

Could this someone if so, post a very dummyfriendly tutorial :D

I got a D-Link : DWM-152 | H/W:A3 | F/W: 3.02WW

I got 2x A500 non-rooted waiting to can use the dongle 3G

I saw somewhere that when you open the A500 you see the free space to connect the 3G module... I wonder if someone know where we can get this module, etc... thanks a lot
[Acer Iconia A500] farnsbarns:
No, turn on WiFi teathering (preinstalled app) on your desire, give the network a name, find it on your tab and connect.

Hello,im trying to use ZTE MF110 with my A500..i did all the steps and when i type ppp-start.sh on console..console freezes at "starting pppd" or sometimes says unrecognized option 'ttyUSB' i tried of course usb0-1-2 same thing anyone has a clue about this ?
[Acer Iconia A500] thor2002ro:

[Acer Iconia A500] arcndz:
First thanks for answering,yes ive disable zerocd with AT+ZCDRUN=8 command using putty..did everything gave permissions to the files and stuff..led turns green on the usb stick..just stucks at "starting pppd"..

Hi I bought the acer iconia a500 and i am thinking of giving it back and buying the xoom, because of the 3g thing.

but if it is possible to use my huawei e1750 for internet, AND it will work for the browser AND the qickoffice pro hd app i would be going to root my device and same money...

can i use that procedure for my iconia and the huawei e1750(in germany) and quickoffice pro hd(wich i use for google docs, since the website or the gdocs app is really unuseable)

thanks in advance mikelodean7
[Acer Iconia A500] mikelodean7:
So now i have root and the possibility to use ntfs drives. But i tried the 3g Moduls. Permissions denied. Cant Run ppp-start.sh....

Now i got the permissions, but still ppp0 no such device ..... huawei e1750
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
someone could explain me how to copy the files....

and also how to put back the original permission to the folder (I want keep my iconia as much as close than unrooted) I wait the 3.1 before doing anything.

I appreciate that someone post that find a way to use a 3G dongle, but that would be so nice to write HOW to do it more "noob friendly" explaining command line etc... not just "put the file there, change this"....

Thanks a lot
[Acer Iconia A500] mikelodean7:
Wich would explain, why it is not working for me...

At least i think its because of the disabling zero CD... whatever that means, or how i can do it...

Writing it very noob friendly would be very noob friendly..

Thanks in advance, i WANT UMTS in my tablet!! Otherwise i would have to buy the xoom ....
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
same... what is zerocd ?

how to zerocd ?

someone said, he can have 3G when he want... well... that could be nice from this person to explain how to do same and enjoy the 3G surfing :D
[Acer Iconia A500] mikelodean7:
So now i read all again and again(because nobody replyed) and now i can say. i have copied the modules, gave all permissions, wich need to have those. when i type (wih su) ppp-start.sh it said:

#ppp-start.sh

inserting modules

insmod: init_module '/sdcard/usb_wwan.ko' failed (File exists)

insmod: init_module '/sdcard/option.ko' failed (File exists)

starting pppd

/* and then its doing nothing.. i waited.. modified the 3d file but there was no better reaction the "starting pppd"

Please could someone help me/us?!?!
[Acer Iconia A500] thor2002ro:
sounds like you have the wrong modules or you didnt copy them to /sdcard
[Acer Iconia A500] mikelodean7:
Ok they are copied, but might be the wrong.. OK thanks, iam gonna try it right now with the other modules.

[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
and this is a community.

advanced users doesn't know there were a time they was noob as well ?

for god sakes SHARE instead just make a topic goes in kind of gibberish not complete

- If i found a way to do something nice, I share to everyone HOW I MAKE IT in DETAIL and not just few sentences.

I know that will maybe not work for someone else than me, but at least if somehow another found a new solution (like the french guy in 1st post) who posted a full script, well that will makes things goes faster.

So I ask again... with hope

- How make a 3G dongle goes to ZEROCD things *(I know the meaning just doesn't know the commands and also how revert this)*

- How change permission in system/xbin and revert them *chmod 755 system/xbin ... but I doesn't know the revert one and I am not sure of it is it 744 ?

- just this will be already good instead "copy file there , change permission, run this"....

thanks a lot, we all are here for sharing knowledge, not keep a gap between ultra-elite-dev and beginner.

new system update, has no modversions, so modules are invalid

Just a quick note, i read in another thread, that the new kernel update, uses a kernel without the the "modversion" added, so thesekernel modules needs to be replaced by new ones.

"-00001-g9b3ce2b" this is no longer part of the kernel revision.
[Acer Iconia A500] WaitWhat:
If there are others with HUAWEI E169 having troubles to disable ZEROCD, here's how i've done it:

Using PuTTy (for windows) didnt do the job, every time i sended AT^U2DIAG=0 the modem send me back COMMAND NOT SUPPORT. So i used MWconn (as this is my first post here i cant post the link, google it).

It is usually used to establish the 3g connection, but you can also send AT commands to the modem. (There is a manual inside the download package, on page 16 there is info about sending AT commands with the tool)

[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
without a kernel that support 3G usb dongle's you can forget using the dongles, secondly the services needs to run within the boot image.

and of course you need drivers copied from this one, if the other requirements are in place..

if you mean using tethering, that should work with most, as long as the wpa_supplicant included works with ad-hoc (which i can check)
[Acer Iconia A500] DrPlumEU:
USB Tethering (cont.)

Yes :) ... So my question should be rephrased - "Can A500 access internet via USB tethering with (my Android) Smartphone?"

Please explain wpa_supplicant - (1) where is it located; (2)settings; (3) ad-hoc settings.

If this can be done fairly easily, it will make a lot of us very happy :D

[Acer Iconia A500] pingram3541:
Not sure yet if the novotel usb dongles work yet but I found that using hyperterminal and these commands disable mass storage, i.e. zero_cd

AT$NWAUTOINSTALL=[0 | 1] 0 = disable, 1 = enable (disable zero_cd)

AT$NWAUTOINSTALL? (reports auto install state [0|1]) (verify disabled)

Also, if not already activated via a verizon manager app, this command should activate:

at+omadm=2 (activate device)

at$qcmipgetp (validate activation query)

Lastly, here is the dial setup I found on the web for Ubuntu using the novotel usb cards:

Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0

Baud = 460800

Init1 = ATZ

Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0

&C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0

ISDN = 0

Modem Type = USB Modem

Phone = #777

Username = „?

Password = „?

Carrier Check = no

Stupid Mode = yes

Haven't got this working because I don;t know which, if any, modules will work yet...tried a few but keep getting exec failures when running ppp-start script. I really like Dexter_nlb's method of enabled system 3g options rather than command line dialer script but just haven't put together all the pieces yet.

Working setup: A500 (wifi) and Huawai 3G modem

Hi everybody

I did some experiments to get my A500 running with my Huawei 3G modem. After some pretty short nights, here my conclusions:

I only got it working with a custom ROM (I am using HoneyVillain 1.0.5, but others should do as well).

I needed to deactivate the cd-rom part of the 3G stick (for Huawei see here: h**p://forum.huawei.com/jive4/thread.jspa?threadID=324405)

PIN is disabled (I used a spare phone to do this)

the 3G modem seemed to work only after a reboot. After disconnecting the modem, it wouldn't start again.

To be able to use the 3G modem after unplugging and reconnecting, I wrote a small application that restarts the "ril-daemon". This could be done in a shell, but it's easier to use if you can do it with a single click.

The "restart-3g" application can be found attached to this post. Provided without guarantee. It's not very nice yet, but it works. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] star80:
Thank you for application! I will try that.

I have another problem, on most of custom roms, after using Huawei 3G modem my wifi stops working, I have the same problem with HoneyVillain rom, I have tried it with different kernels, but the problem is still there.

the only rom I could get it working is virtuous galaxy

How do you get it work with HoneyVillain rom? do you have any solution for that?

Perhaps I missed it, but did you already try to reset the phone to factory settings?

To do so, go to "settings" - "SD- and phone memory" - "reset to factory settings".

If you do so, you will loose all your apps and associated settings. Your SD-card will nog be erased.

I don't think it is your mistake if I understood your problem correctly. You were trying to get the official Froyo release, using an unrooted phone, isnt it so? In such a case, what you have done is perfectly 'legal' and correct. Or is it something else I am missing?
