I would like to make external 3G dongle (i.e Huawei) to work in Windpad Enjoy 7" or 10" (Android 2.3)

Anyone can help me here?

1. How to install 3G dongle drive (or any generic 3G driver) on existing Android 2.3?


Any similar guide or reference or any info or links related ... will be appreciated

Firstly you need to get an USB OTG Cable which looks like this:



It should then pick it up if you restart with it plugged in.

also ask here:

(to be honest the easiest option is just to create a wifi hotspot from your android phone)

That ROM won't work on the Windpad, you will brick it. The kernel is completely different. Rather pester MSI to release ICS or include a driver for you. You cannot extract a driver like that, it needs to be recompiled, and we don't have the kernel sources yet. To be honest, I will say it's rare that a usb 3g dongle actually works on a android device, most people just op for tethering, just less hassle.

Ok - Loaded the update.img BUT
it didn't wipe my data or apps, didn't remove the bloatware and it didn't include Lightning Launcher
So you would think it didn't work but System DID update to the 0306 firmware (I wasn't on that before)
Any thoughts?

PS - loaded Lightning Launcher after and so far it seems excellent
Simple clean and (ahem) lightning fast

Hi all

Please note that if you have a problem try and copy the update.img to the root of your tab instead of the SD card
