OK, I went back to Virtuous 1.0.8 with Thor's kernel; my tablet now appears to see the ZTE A356 USB modem, but when adding china mobile APN (just cmnet), it asks for a lot of other fields that I _never_ had to add on my HTC Desire! What is MCC, MNC??? I never used these before!!

Please help :(

Stupid question

OK, so this is probably a stupid question, but will this work on my Iconia with the Sprint Network? I have a data plan but I don't believe Sprint uses SIM cards in their phones to put into the modem. I have searched and searched and could not find any info on this, so thought I'd ask before I plop down money for a USB modem that will do me no good. TIA!
[Acer Iconia A500] Matchstick:
Do you know what Make and Model of USB modem Sprint supply ?
[Acer Iconia A500] Duckman33:
I did a Google search but found no info on the make, here's one I'm looking at: http://cgi.ebay.com/Sprint-U300-USB...00227089492?pt=PCC_Modems&hash=item5d2f64bc54

But I was also looking at the modems listed that are known working with this fix:

Hello Dexter,

For those who want to continue to have 3G in your icon, I inform that the new Rom(Stock 3.1 4.010.07 & derivative) no longer support this.

"Mobile networks" option no longer appears in the wifi settings.

Dexter Can you help us in this direction and retrieves this feature? All of us will apreciate a lot.

Thanks in advance...:-)
[Acer Iconia A500] kjartanm:
K3565 - Rev2

Can confirm that this works like a dream with the HUAWEI K3565 Rev2 (Mine is Vodafone branded, unlocked)

Thank you so much!

Had to use ADB push, copying files and using terminal on the Iconia made it enter a reboot loop. Good thing I had a ClockWork backup. Using 3.0.1

The Missing 3G in 3.1 is probably related to the fact that the 3.0.1 still has the 3G module on - and draining some battery. (ref the results some are getting from Acer Iconia Battery Saver aka Acer Iconia Phone Disabler - have not tried this yet)
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
ill look into this for latest rom .. probably need what is a "custom" rom to fix it..

also looks like it affect audio on some application as "phone" becomes internal speakers without no option to use "external" speakers like on tablet..

so 3G is now becoming an issue for some apps :(
[Acer Iconia A500] ampinto:
Dexter Thank you for your explanations...:-)

I hope that future work based on last Stock rom 3.1 4.010.07, you may consider integrating this feature.

However I went back to a leaked 3.1 version in order to have 3g.

Thank you and continuation of your great work, we all appreciate it.
[Acer Iconia A500] richdaley:
Thanks Dexter and everyone else involved for all of your hard work.

Search does not appear to be working so I can't reply to any of the posts that mentions the E173 but I got that modem yesterday and it is working for me on Primee v8-3 and a little tweaking with the information provided in the first post.

I put the modem in my PC running XP and allowed it to install drivers. Once the drivers were installed, I opened up the software like I was going to connect and I disabled the SIM pin. This is in the general settings tab. The default PIN for my t-mobile phone in the US was 1234. Once I disabled the PIN, I used it to connect my laptop and it worked.

The second thing I did was disable mass storage using tasmac's method as described in the original post. This device will not work with mass storage enabled. I couldn't tell exactly but when I first got it in plugged it in, it looked like the tablet thought it was a mass storage device and mounted it (a message flashes but I couldn't read it).

Insert modem into pc and wait for driver to install

check in device manager which com port is assignated to your modem

download putty here the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe

close every program related to modem

run putty

click serial below port number and then change port number to one previously founded

click open

write atz and press enter, modem should answer ok

write ati and press enter, modem should give name, type, etc

write AT^U2DIAG=0 and press enter, zero cd is now disabled

I have read some people complain that they cannot type anything in the putty command box. Just follow the instructions and type the commands even if what you are typing does not appear.

I have a couple of issues and I am just looking for work arounds and giving suggestions (these aren't complaints...I am so happy that this works!)

1. I only get 2G coverage with this modem. I have been looking for a setting but everything looks like it should. I am wondering if t-mobile uses the 1700 mhz 3G band in this part of the country which is not supported by this modem. I will post a solution if I find one. The browser and device work so well that surfing is fine at data speeds around 200 kbps. I am thinking that we will have support for 4G modems at some point and I will drop the $100 it will take for me to get one from t-mobile so I can live with this for now.

2. Is it possible to make/receive phone calls? I can dial out and it rings when I call it but I get no sound on either side. I am using the standard phone dialer. SMS works great with handcent.

3. Is is possible to keep phone and sms working while wifi is connected like a phone? It seems like the modem turns off when wifi is connected. I was wondering if there is a work around for this because I would love to ditch my phone completely.

4. Is there a way to turn the modem on after it has been removed without rebooting?

It is odd but I seem to be getting much better battery life with the modem attached compared to wifi. I am at 85% off the charger for more than 3 hours and I have been playing with it a lot obviously.

Thanks,

Rich

[Acer Iconia A500] drapper:
I have asked for help in the past without result so I'll try again. I have tried both Huwaei E171 and K3715 which reportedly in this post seem to work fine. I connect it to A500, Mobile networks find my provider (Vodafone GR) it says registering in the network but still no Internet connection. I called Vodafone local and they sad to change the APN name to internet, did a new APN, correctly saved, when selecting it again nothing happens.

I have disabled PIN and the internal storage (E171 doesn't have storage) none of the two dongles worked. I tried the application ril-daemon restart with both of them, again no connection. I have tested both HC 3.0.1 and 3.1 and Virtuous Picasso ROM, same results, everything seem to work fine but no Internet connection at all. I tried to boot with dongle attached (both of them) again no result. I tried to boot first, ril-daemon restart and then attach the dongles, same thing: No Internet Connection. The dongles get properly recognized since the blue light keeps blinging. The problem is that even after it says registered on the network the light keeps blinging and not get steady (indicating a connection)

pI also tried to directly edit aons-conf.xml but it doesn't seem to affect at all the list of operators I get. Moreover, the new APNs I added manually in Mobile Setting do not appear inside the apns-conf.xml (not sure if they should).

Any suggestions would help!

Thanks

SOLVED! I installed honeyvillain with new kernel and now the 3G single works perfectly!
[Acer Iconia A500] Godhandfreedom:
will this work with a at&t sierra wireless usb connect shockwave ?
[Acer Iconia A500] PhilipZ:
Yes. I found easy solution:

Go to market and download GScript Lite. Make new script with name you choose and following command

stop ril-daemon
start ril-daemon

checkmark NeedsSU? and save. Of course you need to have root access! Go to home -> More and choose GScriptLite -> in the next screen choose name you put when make new script.

Voila! Now plug your USB 3G modem, tab on icon on home screen (can wait 20 sec. to autoclose screen or push close for immediately action) and enjoy connection with internet.

OTA 3.1 Rooted w/ Verizon Novotel

I just gave this a try and it's a no go for me.

1) I downloaded the 3g-acer31stock-usb.zip for 3.1 stock release Acer_A500_3.019.01_COM_GEN1 (vermagic=2.6.36.3-00005-g5dff38c SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7)

2) I transferred all files/directories from the zipped "system" folder to my /sdcard/temp/ folder.

3) I backed up all files that would be replaced to /sdcard/backup/:

/system/build.prop

/system/etc/apns-conf.xml

/system/bin/rild

4) I copied all files from /sdcard/temp/ folder to /system/ and performed the permission commands

5) Rebooted

No 3g options in "Settings / Wireless" and my 3g modem still has green light (like it's connected) just as before the changes but no 3g =(

Hopefully Acer will add compatibility for 3g modems in the next OTA because it looks like dexter is done with XDA right now.
[Acer Iconia A500] kakish:
Same is for me but in Taboonay 1.0.7.

Thank you ! It is available at last.

But now i Have another problem.

I have set everything. Pluged Dongle. Restarted ril-daemon. Configured APN. But i can't acces to the net.

any ideas ?
[Acer Iconia A500] smaiitm:
Just curious. Did you try to disable mass storage on the dongle?

Please read the 'HOWTO FOR RESET'ing ,massstorage on Huawei modems' on the first page, if not already.

And also, which Honeycomb did you use, 3.0 or 3.1?

Really need this 3g badly :(
[Acer Iconia A500] crusciotto:
finally working indeed

flashed Virtuous Thrive and got the "Mobile Networks" option under "settings-wireless&networks". I enabled "data" and tried to set the APN but it wouldn't find networks. so I rebooted with the dongle still connected and then there was everything! I left WiFi switched off, though.

I am using a Huawei E173 with a NetCologne Sim Card (Germany). PIN and zero cd both disabled (see first post).

hello, i try to disable cero cd on my e160 but it doesn't work everytime i write at^ u2diag=xxx it gives me an error , i seatch at google vor at command but nothing work. What can i do
[Acer Iconia A500] vepman:
Disable/revive flashdrive

The integrated flashdrive of the E160 can be disabled by executing the following AT-command:

at^u2diag=256

If your modem answers ERROR, instead you can use command:

at^u2diag=0

Unfortunately this command will also disable the microSD-drive.

To revive the flashdrive and the microSD-drive execute:

at^u2diag=255

Thank you, but this is exactly what i try so many times.:confused:

I'm using Virtuosu Galaxy and E173 work without any problems! With the same dongle have success only with Virtuosu series rom and original 3.01 with Dexter patch. Of course you need first to disable Cd-rom and Sd card! One more thing - found that Virtuosu apn file is not correct, so need to change by hand (don't remmeber from which rom take correct one) or enter by hand apn settings!
[Acer Iconia A500] ReLi70:
Thank you for yor answer.

For disabling autoexec and sd card I referred to a guide (but i cannot post the link because of forum rules)... i successfully connected via putty but I stopped at the second command to enter ( AT+cgdcon=1,"IP","apn.name" ) since I don't know where to enter it.. is it the right procedure?

Anyway if possible I would avoid using virtuosu roms, since I find taboonay much better.. with the new kernel I have the apn settings menu, but i'm not able to enter the apn info (no way to save them..). Maybe there's a configuration file to be manually edited?
[Acer Iconia A500] PhilipZ:
You don't need to add apn in memory of dongle. Right place is settings->Wireless and networks->Mobile networks->Access Point Names there should be have option to add manualy new apn.

File which I replace is /system/etc/apns-conf.xml and attached is working for me. The same file is packed in 3g-acer31stock-usb.zip in the first message in this thread.

The last version of taboonay which I load was 1.0.4 and Mobile networks not work even replace all files from 3g-acer...... In that moment I prefer to have working 3g network than everything else and Virtuosu Galaxy was the rom which I choose.

If need to disable zerocd use this: AT^SETPORT="A1,A2;1,2,3,7" (cd+sd disabled)

to go back use this: AT^SETPORT="A1,A2;1,2,3,7,A1,A2" (default configuration)

Hi, there.

Last week i read this usefull article , than during this day a buy usb modem Huawei E 1750.

I have A 500 XE.H60EN.009 version with updated Honeycomb 3.1 2.6.36.3

and Acer_A500_4.010.45_COM_GEN1

I used windows vista.

I started my experience step by step in this post.

1) root my Iconia by iconiaroot-1.3.apk.

2) backup my /system/build.prop

3)updated zip

I´m not sure where i found this, i wait for the answer.

4)download the "system.zip" attached to this post.

in this case, i suppose, that is the file now called "3g-usb-stock1.zip" or "3g-acer31stock-usb.zip"

This file i extracted to same directory as you in C:/myfiles.

I have

-META-INF

-system

5)running ADB

i done it for next steb by su -.

cmd write this: mount permission denied

Can you help somebody for this, please???

Is this something wrong for my updated version on Acer_A500_4.010.45_COM_GEN1?

[Acer Iconia A500] antonio8:
I know this is discontinued but a stupid question anyways.

Does the dongle still need the sim card to work?

Ofcource, as I know, all gsm/3g modems are need working sim card. You don't need it if you have cdma one.
[Acer Iconia A500] antonio8:
O.K. so now I am a little confused.

Do I need to install the sim card to get this to work in the U.S.A.? If so I believe T-Mobile are the only phones with sim cards.

Or how will I get it to pick up Verizon 3g signals wich is CDMA?
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
1. if T-Mobile in USA offer a 3G usb dongle with a simcard, it might work if the chipset of the dongle is Huawei.

2. if Huawei produced Verizon 3g usb dongles that has a ID but correctly, no simslot, it might just work too. but i not heard of 3g cdma dongles, only mobile phones.
