Then here is hopefully my final question to help me understand better.

I have the huawei e1820 with no sim card.

Will I be able to to pick up a signal in the U.S. without any sim card installed and if so with what provider of 3G service?

I only bought the dongle thinking I could do this patch and use the 3G signal.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
huawei e1820 - european 3G for simcard use.. will not work with CDMA based networks.
[Acer Iconia A500] antonio8:
well i wasted $80.

i guess i should have researched more.

i guess this patch is for european markets only.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
you can actually find 3G based 1800 GSM networks i think in USA, AT&T? i think Motorola Milestone was a simcard based solution for US.

so maybe it will work, but a specific provider is needed, and maybe the net it works on is european and does not work in USA (i think its called 1900 or 2100 for USA)
[Acer Iconia A500] droppie12:
And how dit you solve it???
[Acer Iconia A500] HDJ80:
Working in my A500 32GB with hauwei e1752cu and PIM security activated.

Switch off A500.

Put hauwei in USB port.

Switch on A500.

Mark PIM code.

Go to adjust.

Select automatic selection operator.

Write your APN configuration.

And... working :)

Sended with my A500 and hauwei e1752cu.

Does it work with ICS rom?
[Acer Iconia A500] LazySmerf:
Well I rooted my A500 in hopes of doing this patch, then realized i am running 3.2.1 and really had no need to root other than getting my US based 3g USB modem to work. I know you aren't updating this anymore, but any chance you already have for the 3.2.1 or if any of the custom roms have this ability?
[Acer Iconia A500] skowron:
Most of 3.2 roms have this integrated, just look in description if 3G support is included. I know for a fact that Thor's rom has this as a flashable addon, and it is working just fine for me.

[Acer Iconia A500] Falcon1:
I have a ICS custom rom called TegraOwners last version 170, it has the faculty of installing 3G dongle driver automatically with ril-daemon but I have not been able to make this modem works. I have a Huawei E173 and according to the developers this modem is compatible. I need help to make the acer iconia a500 works with 3-G. thanks a million.........
[Acer Iconia A500] da_bar:
E173 has two revisions, probably you have second which does not work, I have E173 and E1552 and E1552 works flawlessly while E173 doesn't work at all.
[Acer Iconia A500] Falcon1:
It's working now. thanks to the developers of this forum. I just changed of modem to huawei E153 and it is working nicely.

Now we don't need to buy a new 3G tablet because this one is fantastic.
[Acer Iconia A500] antonio8:
If anyone is still reading this thread.

The Huawei E1820 says it works on edge/gprs/gsm 1900/1800/900/850 Mhz.

AT&T in the U.S. is on gsm 1900 for 3 g.

I have an AT&T sim card installed in the E1820. Do I have to have the sim card activated somehow to pick up AT&T's signal to get the 3g to work?

I went back to the Lightspeed 2.1 ROM to try this again. Also flashed the Huawei update.

Thanks

Forgot to mention. When I go to the APN I have three choices from AT*T to choose from. So does that mean that the tablet is picking up a signal?
[Acer Iconia A500] da_bar:
I couldn't get Lightspeed 2.1 to work with usb 3g, it connects and after second disconnects, can't seem to make a stable connection.

You can try thor's HC or thor's ICS, both work with usb 3g, only for me thor's rom is too slow.

Hello,

I'm trying to adapt this patch to the acer a210 with 3.1.10 kernel 4.2.2 cm10.1 unofficial port.

I allready use ppp widget and it works fine, but i m sure that it is possible to turn my wifi only tablet into a 3g tablet to send SMS, internet and perhaps make call. It is just a software problem, and the first step is to have a working 3g settings menu. So i keep trying.

Thanks.

i guys it 's possible to use root explorer to copy the files to is directories? because i use the adb function but when i send this command cp -a /data/local/temp/* /system/ it says cp not found

can some one help me on this?

thanks in advance
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
i think in that case, you need a "busybox" installed..

copy busybox (from content of zipfile attached) command to the /data/local directory,

with

adb push busybox /data/local/

in "adb shell"

su -

mount -orw,remount /system

cat /data/local/busybox >/system/bin/busybox

chmod 755 /system/bin/busybox

from here,

put busybox in front of the commands ie.

busybox cp

busybox chmod

etc...and your commands will work

how did you set new apn? because i cannot save my new apn setting.

thank you
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
if your settings cannot save, it must be something else..

but otherwise add your information to the apns-conf.xml

you find it in my system/etc/apns-conf.xml or in /system/etc/ as well.

and do a rescan, that should do it.

you must have the wrong settings.. Green on my E1752 is equal to a EDGE connection, and Blue is HSUPA connection.. so you just seem to have incorrect settings in apn.

Huawei E220 has anyone managed to get this model to work with A500

Hi this is probably a noob question I have searched all over with no result.

I would like to know if the Hwawei E220 is able to support my A500.

I have managed to find one spare and would like to use it.

My current 3G solution is as follows.

I bought me a second hand xperia mini pro rooted and installed FROYO :D http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1059361

This was totally awesome as I was able to use barnicle tether and connect to the internet with my xperia mini pro via acer tablet A500 with of cause custom wpa and rooted A500.:) NICE...

Unfortunately I then realized that GRE or pptp protocol is not supported in this method. Thus leaving the xperia mini pro useless as that is all it was used for. Without me being able to connect to the office it would be pointless. No remote desktop/rdp without 3rd party software eg, logmein

So my questions are, if anyone could assist?

1. is there GRE/pptp support with usb huawei e220 via Acer A500 tab using above mentioned patch in page 1

2. Am I able to use the current patch on page 1 with current model without additional files install drivers etc?

3. For some bizarre reason with barnicle tether connecting is completely slow my browser constantly gets stuck at loading pages and eventually times out on occasion yet dolphin HD works perfectly fine. so if i could use this patch either way its a win win for me :cool: cause browsing speeds should increase drastically.

4. I'm suspecting this is going to be a NOOB question am I able to make calls and send text messages with this patch? imei allocated etc so I may use WHATSAPP and various applications that rely on that sort of functionality.

5. I am a complete noob I have flashed a bunch of Android devices with simply google and xda search button skills lol no experience what so ever in linux just windows. Please community be easy on me.

And detailed explanations would be highly appreciated if any :confused:

Great work on this 3G stick Dexter !!

So what happened about that reverting back ?? This tablet is not semi-blocked anymore.

Do we have a way of returning in a condition to accept OTAs after applying this 3G patch?

I dont want to use PRIME right now, i prefer waiting for the official 3.1 update.

I m not ever rooted yet but i would sure like to test my Huawei E170 with this tablet, so i would root for that.

But do i have a way of reverting so i can accept OTAs ???
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
as stated early on, make a copy of the "build.prop" in /system and copy it back if you want to revert. (this is possible if you root it)

Hi,

I'm investigating whether this patch can be adapted to enable 3G support on the Asus Transformer and I have a couple of questions

1) is the 3G menu present but disabled in Setting /Wireless Networks the A500 before this patch ?

2) if this patch adds (rather than just activates) the 3G menu, is it always visible or does it only appear when a compatible 3G modem is plugged-in

The 3G menu isn't currently appearing on the Transformer so I'm trying to find out if that indicates that something fundamental isn't working or if there's a possibility that the problem lies with the USB stick I'm using.

I'm also a little curious about the changes to build.prop, particularly the line

"picasso.3g=true" and I'm trying to work out what the equivalent for the Asus Transformer would be ?

And help or suggestions would be very greatfully appreciated.
