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

May android3.x be with you..

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.

thats correct, from this you press "back", and then "save" at the top right corner.

I have been reading the thread and have a question. I have a novatel u760 usb modem for Verizon and was wondering if anyone has had any luck getting it to work in Dexter's 3.1 rom? I have been trying to get it working with no luck I think it maybe a kernel driver problem. If anyone could help it would be much appreciated Thanks.

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.

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.

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.

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

    *I'm not updating it, but many users find this useful, so thread is kept as is for now*

    Not sure if anyone got so far, to getting the honeycomb showing connection and selectable APN in settings?

    anyways,
    from my port of honeycomb to folio100, and now experiments with a500.. i got huawei dongle's running using the builtin functions.

    you will need to have root'd your device. and this might break a system-update, if any of my files are updated during next OTA..

    but back to the working 3G.

    Working 3G USB dongles:
    Do note, your modem version can be seen on its white label written with very small text.
    some modems require zerocd (linuxtool) or commands executed in windows to disable the mass storage part of it. (search google for the commands)
    • * ZTE MF 639 (might need roaming enabled to get data working)
    • * Vodafone K3765-H
    • * Vodafone K3715
    • * Vodafone K3565 / Huawei E160
    • * Huawei E169
    • * Huawai E170
    • * Huawai E171
    • * Huawei E173
    • * Huawei E1550
    • * Huawei E1692
    • * Huawei E1750
    • * Huawei E1752
    • * Huawei E1820
    • * HUAWEI K3520
    • * HUAWEI K3565 -Rev 2

    Download View attachment 3g-usb-stock1.zip for 3.0.1 stock release Acer_A500_1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3: (vermagic=2.6.36.3 SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7)
    Download View attachment 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)



    HOWTO:
    - first: Backup your /system/build.prop on the tablet , just copy the file to a safe place, as its important if you wish to do a online update later on.
    - updated zip, so you can now install the zip as an "update" using ClockWorkMod/CWM if you got this installed.
    - download the "system.zip" attached to this post.
    - unpack all files to a temporary folder ie. C:\myfiles
    - assuming you got adb running
    * push files to your tablet with;
    • adb shell mkdir /data/local/temp
    • adb push C:\myfiles\system /data/local/temp/
    * next run
    • adb shell
    * then run all commands below in the shell
    • su -
    • mount -orw,remount /system (i forgot this line, ITS IMPORTANT)
    • cp -a /data/local/temp/* /system/
    • chmod 4755 /system/bin/pppd
    • chmod 4755 /system/bin/rild
    • chmod 755 /system/bin/rild.run
    • chmod -R 755 /system/etc/ppp

    If you done these steps correctly, and you reboot.
    you will now have a working 3G option in Settings -> wireless networks
    so you can configure your APN now and connect to your 3G network.
    and you got it all automated with honeycomb 3g! no terminal needed to start 3G!

    HINTS
    - Other reports are to remember to "Disable PIN" on the card.. I have no personal experience on this part, but check up on it, if its not working perfectly, or no data, but network is ok.

    - I got reports back about enabling roaming to make it work, and also remember the story from Folio100 with 3G dongles..
    so if you cannot get data connection at all, try to enable roaming and see if APN does not appear which matches your isp. maybe read you ISP website to confirm it.

    - If you happen to remove the dongle, there is a solution (using as example gscript) to restart the ril daemon.
    in a shell you can restart the ril-daemon if you reinsert the 3g usb dongle.
    do it like this in the shell:
    su -
    stop ril-daemon
    start ril-daemon


    HOWTO FOR RESET'ing ,massstorage on Huawei modems.
    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.




    Remember to press "thanks" if you find it useful :)

    Hi all
    I wrote small program, which ables to restart "ril-daemon", so you don't need to restart tablet or use g-script or similar to manually restart it for usb-dongle works. Just insert modem, run program and click "Restart ril-daemon".
    This app requires ROOT access.

    you forgot to say to remount the system to rw....

    so my A500 now is HC 3.1 , someone who know the way can make it use 3G USB Huawei, please help me. Thanks a lot !

    I added a 3.1 patch, you will either follow the howto with root access, or use recovery on top of stock.
