[Acer Iconia A500] lulajardim:
Ok, just finished all procedures and the Mobile option appeared correctly however, I can't add a new APN. I go to the "Access Point Names" screen, select "New APN", after I fill everything i cannot find an OK button and if i tap the back arrow it doesn't add anything. No matter what, I see no APNs at the "Access Point Names" screen.

I figured i'd add manually my APN on the apns-conf.xml file, but when I opened it, there's a huge list of APNs and even for my surprise my providers's APN is in the list.

Either i'm missing something, or my dongle (Huawei E156B) is not compatible.

Can someone enlighten me? I just wanna make sure my dongle is not compatible before going after a new one.

your "save" option is in the menu in upper right corner..

[Acer Iconia A500] lulajardim:
Is the menu the one i pointed in the attached screenshot? if so, the menu is not available. I tap it and nothing shows up. That menu is only available before entering the "edit access point" screen and it has the "New APN" and "Reset to default" options.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
thats correct, from this you press "back", and then "save" at the top right corner.

I have a Huawei E1750 USB 3G Dongle. It does not work for me (I use the PRIMEE v1.4 patch 7).

If I try to Create a New APN, there seems to be no way to save it. Further scanning for networks (Search Networks) i get "Error while searching for networks". Any help is appreciated.

I replaced the apn-conf.xml from my working HD2 to no affect.

If any of you have successfully used the E1750, did you have to do anything special? Like disabling the mass storage? If so can you please share how you did it?

Thanks for all your help.

@smaiitm

My E1750 working well. I had to disable zero_cd otherwise it won't work.

Here is how i did 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

You need also put sim card from modem to any phone and disable pin checking.
[Acer Iconia A500] gmelfi:
i have done all of that on my model huawei e1756 and when i put my modem in the iconia a500 and go to search for network i do not found anything. also i do not see any apn in apn list? what am i missing? do i need to reboot with the usb modem in the usb port? i'm using virtual picasse 1.02 release? does it work better with the primee 1.4 verison? regards

Updated post #1, with a update.zip edition, which for stock rom users, can be installed using ClockWorkMod recovery.

Content is still as guided concerning "system" folder, you will also notice a new apns-conf.xml (revision=30) which might have been a bug in previous release.
[Acer Iconia A500] azt3c:
Hello, all of this is too complicated form me, i've got a bit of help from a few friends, cos i don't understand anything of this tutorial.

So far:

i update my iconia to acer_a500_1.144.07_com_gen1.

i have rooted the device.

i think i've pushed the files to the tablet (but i can't find them with the file manager).

i've got SU.

and then i got stuck with remounting /system.

could you guys give me any tips on how to continue ?

cheers
[Acer Iconia A500] lulajardim:
what exactly is that update? is this for everyone with a stock rom?
[Acer Iconia A500] lightflier:
I am with a stock rom and the update worked for my E1550.
[Acer Iconia A500] mankev:
I did every step correctly in OP, including backup of build.prop

After trying to reboot, my tablet tries to boot in recovery and i get the triangle with exclamation !!

Any suggestions on what could be wrong and what i should do ??

OK did this again running the stock image "stock_acerA500.zip (Acer_A500_1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3) as update.zip type" you provided with Prime ROM.

Again my tablet boots only to recovery and i had to flash stock image again to get it to boot normaly.

What am i doing wrong? The only difference is that i run the commands in terminal and not in adb.. could this be the problem ??]​

I am having the same problem. It keeps bricking my tablet (A500), and now I have inherited some Chinese games from the update. I copied the mod files to a usb stick then copied them over using cp and all other command from the terminal within the A500. I will try the other method, and see what happens. Anyone know where I can get the latest update?
[Acer Iconia A500] lightflier:
Do you have the Acer Recovery (from the market) installed?
[Acer Iconia A500] mankev:
No, i found the recovery (update.acer.zip) online. I don't know the source at this time. I wonder why it failed to boot into the back-up factory image on a hard reset.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
i think your general problem here is "/data", with stock rom, you cannot factory reset, so without that option to clear the /data area (as i know stock rom), your tablet and files has incorrect signatures, which makes it loop when its booting now..

your only way out is getting the recovery.img installed somehow..

so if you install the full stock image you found, download the "recovery installer for a500" from Market, you should be well on your way to have it working..

Recovery (ClockWorkMod/CWM) is very important here for you to easy recover.
[Acer Iconia A500] lightflier:
The only way to do factory reset with stock rom is to plug any external USB keyboard into the tablet USB. 1.Turn the tablet off. 2.Pull out the Micro SD. 3. Push and hold the power button and -volume button together. 4.When the screen lights up release the power button and push and hold the HOME button on the keyboard while still holding the volume- till you see the recovery mode. 5. With the arrows on the keyboard highlight the factory reset option and hit Enter. Good luck.

1. I'm using PRIMEE P8-1 + Huawei E173

2. I already disable E173 storage with at command in putty

AT^U2DIAG=0

OK

3. The pin is never set, i even check it in putty

AT+CPIN?

+CPIN: READY

4. There's no APN appear in the list, and i never successfully create it.

5. Always receive error message when i try to search for network.

6. E173 always pluged in before i startup my A500

7. I tried to toggle Data Roaming on/off - still not work /

I also try to tick 2G network only - but still no luck for me

8. There's NO 3G available in my area (Thailand) , i can use this dongle connect to GPRS/EDGE network with my laptop, but not with A500

Please feel free to notify if i missed any point, and hopefully that someone i can help me out.

Thanks in advance

Finally got this E1750 working. Problem was with the computer USB port. Shifted to my laptop (Acer, by the way!) and Putty and AT^U2DIA=0 worked liked a charm. Connected up, as advised with the dongle in place, booted the tab up and checked the APNs and they were in place. It scanned and connected to the network and lo, internet access in 3G.

Thanks to Dexter and everybody who helped with replies and suggestions.
[Acer Iconia A500] smaiitm:
Maybe I am wrong, but please check the apns-conf.xml file to see if your operator is listed along with the APN settings? I could find AIS and TRUE listed. Not sure about your operator.

Don't worry, i did the same as you. zero_cd, no pin and many other things.

My Huawei E1550 does also not works. I've Primee P8-2.

No way to save manually APN's. No network found and no automatic search.

Clueless is now my name. Sometimes, i'll find the solution.

But anyway, many thanks to Dexter for his great work.

[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
if you do know the facts on your apn, you should be able to copy it, using root explorer? from /system/etc/apns-conf.xml . and mount system read/write and copy it back..

or using a terminal on your tab to do it in a shell?

its just ideas, not sure if it works..

i can switch between E and 3G/H here with E1752 model, and it works fine...

so if you can get it to enable, you should also be able to switch signal.

if your dongle is like mine, you have a led indicator of signal type, and whether its connected? blinking = searching, steady = connection established?

I will check the PRIMEE release, and debug why people cannot save, which i think should work fine, and report back on it..

Thanks to all reply,... Unfortunately my problem still persist

a. I tried copy file apns-conf.xml from my galaxy s, and replace the file located on my a500

/system/etc --still not work

b. I always turn my a500 off then on before test any scenario

I think of the possibility the root cause may come from my dongle / Or the telepony files from all mod roms may not fit with my local network

long way to go ... :)
[Acer Iconia A500] moominkou:
in my experience maybe the /system/etc/ didn't contain "apns-conf.xml"

except the adb shell. you can try the "Root explorer" to check or move those file to the right place in yr rooted machine.
[Acer Iconia A500] hotmocca:
Thanks moominkou, actually the file is there, with correct permission flag.

As per Dexter's comment, i just try copy another file from my Galaxy S and replace it, but it still not work. :confused:

Sorry to ask....trying to get my head around this.

I'm considering buying either the Acer or the Asus Transformer (wifi only) so the ability to either tether to my Samsung Galaxy S or use a USB dongle is critical.

I don't want to have to pay for another data plan with Tmobile - otherwise I would just wait and buy a 3G version tablet and get ride of my Samsung Galaxy.

Using the 3G dongle as mentioned in the OP, is it possible to use the same data plan (unlimited) that I have with my Tmobile account on my Samsung Galaxy (rooted with custom ROM)?

I am using Picasso 1.0.6 and Huawei 1820 3g dongle with mass storage and PIN disabled. (Works like a charm on my IPCOP linux box) Carrier is hutchinson 3g Austria. Booting with dongle inserted I can search for neworks, select 3 AT and it says "Registered on Network". The icon on the notification bar says 3g but is doesn't connect. APN list is empty. Manual Add doesn't save or doesn't automatically show up.

If I use my old Huawei E220 everything is working fine exept it doesn't show the signal in Notification Area. APN list says 3 AT with correct settings. I can confirm E220 is working with your patch!

Any Ideas why my 1820 cant connect?

EDIT: Huawei 1820 working now!! Had to stop and start the ril-daemon manually in terminal!! Maybe thats a temporary solution for all people having problems with APN settings.

Just type

#stop ril-daemon

then insert your 3g dongle

wait a few seconds and type

#start ril-daemon

As the title says, i wondered if Android allows you to stream audio from the device to the network? Specifically for Airfoil, is it possible to play music from spotify (etc.) from the phone, on my other airfoil units?

Hi everybody. :)

I´ve just finished my first Rom, i´ve done it for me and some friends but maybe some of you would like to try it.

Most of the things i´ve done is just copy % paste from other Roms or the UOT Kitchen.

I removed most of the unneeded Samsung stuff and implented the following stuff:

DarkKernel 2.73

Talk with video support

Titanium Backup

Rudolf Animation

Ram script from Juwe

And some other things i can´t remember right now

The theme is mostly standard, just changed the Battery Icon and the Signal Icons(Crysis theme ones)

Can´t upload any screenshots now, gonna try to do this tomorrow, but maybe someone else who´s gonna try it can upload them faster.

Rom should be no wipe, but a backup is recommend because this is my first try.

Have fun. ;-)
