[DEV] USB 3g for a500 wifi only

zte AC2746

i have a zte AC2746 cdma/evdo usb data dongle.(mts mblaze india)

i am using Virtuous Picasso v. 1.0.8 acer base

i think i disabled the zero cd with AT+ZCDRUN=8

i would love to get some help on making this dongle work on my iconia

USB 3G App

Great Work!!

I am really new at this!!!! Are you guys maybe looking at developing an App for this?

Not sure yet if the novotel usb dongles work yet but I found that using hyperterminal and these commands disable mass storage, i.e. zero_cd

AT$NWAUTOINSTALL=[0 | 1] 0 = disable, 1 = enable (disable zero_cd)
AT$NWAUTOINSTALL? (reports auto install state [0|1]) (verify disabled)

Also, if not already activated via a verizon manager app, this command should activate:

at+omadm=2 (activate device)
at$qcmipgetp (validate activation query)

Lastly, here is the dial setup I found on the web for Ubuntu using the novotel usb cards:

Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 460800
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0
&C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = USB Modem
Phone = #777
Username = „?
Password = „?
Carrier Check = no
Stupid Mode = yes

Haven't got this working because I don;t know which, if any, modules will work yet...tried a few but keep getting exec failures when running ppp-start script. I really like Dexter_nlb's method of enabled system 3g options rather than command line dialer script but just haven't put together all the pieces yet.

Hope this info helps someone.

I am very new and just bought my tablet 5 days ago. I am using USB 3G dongle. Can you please explain me steps by step process. How can i proceed with installing your files and than what app to run after attaching dongle.

I will be greatful if dongle can work for my iconia.

Thanks you for your super work.

I found some stuff on the Novetel 3G Usb that might be useful (or not)

I have a Novel Ovation MC998 from Bell Canada I would love to use on this Tablet. I looked and tried earlier work for the 3G Huawei dongle, but it didnt work for me.

I got a small program from the Novelwireless Developer Lounge that disables the Auto run (disable ZERO_CD) novatelwireless.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=8&Itemid=254[/url]

and in the linuxquestions.org forum I found some information on how to set this dongle up on a linux system linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/how-do-you-properly-install-a-novatel-turbo-stick-usb-modem-773492/


Perhaps a Developer can have a look and see if this is useful

Working setup: A500 (wifi) and Huawai 3G modem

Hi everybody

I did some experiments to get my A500 running with my Huawei 3G modem. After some pretty short nights, here my conclusions:

• I only got it working with a custom ROM (I am using HoneyVillain 1.0.5, but others should do as well).
• I needed to deactivate the cd-rom part of the 3G stick (for Huawei see here: h**p://forum.huawei.com/jive4/thread.jspa?threadID=324405)
• PIN is disabled (I used a spare phone to do this)
• the 3G modem seemed to work only after a reboot. After disconnecting the modem, it wouldn't start again.
• To be able to use the 3G modem after unplugging and reconnecting, I wrote a small application that restarts the "ril-daemon". This could be done in a shell, but it's easier to use if you can do it with a single click.
• The "restart-3g" application can be found attached to this post. Provided without guarantee. It's not very nice yet, but it works.

Thank you for application! I will try that.
I have another problem, on most of custom roms, after using Huawei 3G modem my wifi stops working, I have the same problem with HoneyVillain rom, I have tried it with different kernels, but the problem is still there.
the only rom I could get it working is virtuous galaxy
How do you get it work with HoneyVillain rom? do you have any solution for that?

Thanks in advance
