so far you need a rooted devices and some modification and extra file to make it work... and since the "OTA" removed all related to 3G.... I don't think it's in the plan of ACER to allow user of A500 to use 3G Dongle
So....that means I can't use the dongle on 3.1 OTA??
Sent from my XT720 using XDA App
the 3.1 never spoke to bring 3G dongle compatibility
if you was dreaming about, sorry to broke your dream.
You want 3G on a tablet, go on a custom firmware who support 3G.
but becarefull 3G dongle are limited not all are supported.
If you wanna a 3G Tablet you should wait for the A501
I prefer connect by wifi tablet to my phone and then to 3G with my phone

Same thing. Mobile network capability is not part of the A500 ROM, nor will it EVER be, officially. That's why Acer make the A501 model.
If you want cell capability, either buy an A501, or use the mods/custom ROMs from the dev section.
Is there any way we could fallback to 3.0? Using 3G dongle is really important to me. If only I knew from the first time that 3.1 OTA removed 3G feature
Well as a newbie, flashing to a custom 3.1 ROM which support 3G is a little bit risky to me Will try that someday for sure, but not now ^^

3.0 didn't have any 3G/2G features either, so going back will achieve nothing.
You either use the mod, a custom ROM, or you buy an A501. Those are your options.

what the point to fallback to 3.0... that was not supported neither.
if you really want 3G... my advice is... use your phone as 3G Modem Wifi>3G
why?
well
1 Sim
1 Bills
1 think to think...
if A501
phone bills
3G bills for A501
etc. etc..

I know that this does not work on DK28 currently, but if anyone could get this to work it would be very helpful. This is the only thing keeping me from going back to 2.2. I need it for one of my computers when im not home. Here is the link for it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785719
The guy said he was gong to look into replacing the sprint mobile hotspot with this. If anyone could do this and possibly include it in there rom then I could go back to 2.2. I have seen a few post of people using 2.1 because they also don't have this for 2.2. I hope there is more interest and we can possibly get this done. I would try but I know nothing about how to do it.
Thanks in advance for anyone that is able to do this, or has interest in it.
FYI - I have gotten every wireless device in my house to see and use this app. (ps3, 3 laptops).
I'm on Mammon's Bonzai ROM and using the Sprint Hotspot app just fine. The only issue I'm having is that 4G drops when I get or make a call while using the hotspot.

assuming your paying for the feature as well. Ill take a stab and say he wants a free infrastructure hot spot, which I think as of right now is only possible on 2.1 odexed roms. The original porter of the i9000 ap said hell only port again on am official release. Cyanogen I believe also has it as a possibility, but its not yet working on our port. And the op of that thread says it won't be any time soon.

Wireless tether crawls in comparison, the loading of web pages on my computer is so slow with wireless tether, plus mobile ap doesn't get my phone hot even when charging, also when u connect multiple compters and devices to wireless tether it crawls more mobile ap I've connected 4 devices on 1x speed and 2 of them were streaming u tube in under a minute of loading, plus mobile ap is so much better looking and not an extra app u have to have its part of your settings and kicks ass plus it works superbly on 4g when wiress tether doesnt...

Cool thanks for all the info on this. Yes looking for a free alternative. I only need it about once a week for a few minutes. The Google cr-48 only does infrastructure mode. Kinda sucks but I need it when I'm out and there is no wifi. Haven't activated the Verizon 3g built in yet. Just want an alternative to it since I have the phone, but then again I probably wont go through the 100mb limit it comes with. I use the computer for school so I have to make sure I have internet in case I run out.

Nope...not yet. It is very desired ability people are looking for though...I'm sure someone will develop something soon.
I really hope something is dev soon... I am currently using the risky DFRouter App. that could get me stuck in modem mode for ever & ever at any moment... Also it would be really great to have ad-hoc support... (in order to see & connect to ad-hoc signals) Take care everyone...

Now that it is official, will we have this feature baked into custom roms? tried searching, but could not find anything related to it
I'm interested in this too! Its one of my biggest barriers from switching from android. I Frequently tether to use instant messaging and for evernote syncing when i'm out studying in places without wifi

Did you mean A500, if not where did you get an A501?
Try this:
Search the forum for 'IconiaRoot 1.2'
Works fine on HC 3.1 and no orientation BS to worry about. Also much faster and does include UNroot option.
Thanks a lot, I'll try it and give you the feedback.
No, it's A501.
I got it in my hand since the last friday.
It's not a unreleased product anymore.
I bought 3 A501.

But my a501 cannot found the ad hoc hotspot.
I did the modification exactly following the instruction, but why it still doesn't show up the ad hoc hotspot???
Have any idea?

Check youn permissions on the ad-hoc file or the program on the phone you are tethering to.u use wireless tether switched from barnacle. As it seems faster.but cost ten bucks
Guys check the web the 501 is available but I think limited areas

Thank you. At least YOUR post was helpful unlike FATmans there. I will try my other contact and get some information on it.
1. Did you make sure USB Debugging is turned on?
2. Did you make sure Loading from Unknown Sources is turned on?
3. Make sure when you run Gingerbreak, the tablet is in Portrait mode...Gingerbreak will crash if it is run in Landscape mode.
I had that issue last night rooting my replacement A500. I realized I forgot to turn on USB Debugging. If that's the case, turn on USB Debugging and restart the tablet, then run GingerBreak again.

Acer "launched" the A500, A501, A100 and A101 tablets all at the same time, at the various electronics shows around the world. All the news sites online carried news of all 4 models, and their website lists them as well, even in the support section (and the A100 series isn't even available yet).
There's no way an Acer employee wouldn't have known about it if they had anything at all to do with the mobile devices division.
hi there,
if you are still using stock rom on your a501, just dont flash any custom rom from dev section... u will lose 3g functions
but then i think u can help the dev by giving the dumping of your stock rom, maybe to help we a500 users get easier and better 3g
Yes I am sure I did what exactly they told on their articles.
Now I solved that problem with ICONIA Root,so Gingerbreak is crap...

Hi there m8´s...
I have now edited this and added the answers to my questions...
Btw:
I have the 3G device...
And I am not using 3G or gsm at all...
Question:
Can i then without any problem use the "WiFi only" roms ??
Answer:
Yes, you can use the roms and kernals for the WiFi model (7510) on your 3g device (7500)...
You WILL loose 3g and gsm in the process...
- at least until you flash a 7500 kernal and ROM again...
Question:
Do i have to use the 3G versions for my device ??
Answer:
Only IF you use 3g or gsm, if not then go ahead and flash WiFi only on your device...
I think it should work.
I have seen a guy who accidentally (from my impressions) applied 3g only rom/kernel and that disabled 3g but i think the rest was ok.
I whould give it a try - if you have problems you can go back to the stock rom.
NEVER EVER take advise from people who just "think" they know. They are just guessing and really have no idea.
It is not recommend to flash any 3rd party ROM onto the Galaxy Tab 10. None of them are as stable or reliable as the stock ROM. It is recommended to avoid them.

Do as he says, never take his advise cause he thinks he knows something.
If you not caring about 3G support, I recommend checking out Tasks ROM, the last 5-6 pages talk about exactly what your looking for.

See the last few pages of that thread. ROM is running GREAT on my 3G tab, and is overclocked with pershoot kernel. Just follow my instructions exactly and be sure to flash the proper kernel if you wanna overclock!
You WILL lose3G though.

If you're not using 3G, flashing the wifi only roms should work for you.
And I say thats no problem. You can simply use it without being afraid.

Hey! I need some help
I want to buy a Xoom, but i dont know which to buy...
There are two versions in Germany:
- mz601 - Wifi + 3g for 405€
- mz604 - Wifi Only for 366€
You can see, the price difference is pretty small... I dont necessery need 3g, but maybe its a nice to have?!
Whats my problem now you think: I will definetly root the device and im going to spend a lot of time in development thread
I just saw, that there are not all roms compatible with the 3g model and more devs focus first on the Wifi only device...
Is it possible to flash wifi only roms also on wifi + 3g xoom and just disclaim for the 3g feature?
Then I would buy the mz 601.
If you tell me, that there are often problems with roms for the 3g model, i'd grab the 3g model.
I hope, you can understand what i mean and im looking forward to your responses!!
Greets from Germany
Yes, you can usually use wifi-only roms on a 3G device, just impacts 3G connectivity...usually wifi is no affected. Now US 3G sometimes has more trouble with custom roms as they have different gsm as opposed to US cdmi.
I'm assuming you can't tether to your phone. If not, I'd get one with 3g if you can afford the data plan
Can I use every Wlan Rom on an 3g Model (MZ601), but disclaim the 3g?!
Thanks for the replys...
@okantomi: What means "usually" in that case? Always or sometimes? What are the exceptions.
So that means, i could use the ICS Nightlys by Team EOS but without 3g integration?
Is that true for every Wlan- rom? I just want to be sure, that IF I flash a Wlan-Only-ROM on an 3g-device, it only effects the 3g to be missing.
I love flashing and being "up to date" softwarewise... I hope you can understand my concerns.
I just want to have 3g, if i want to use it in half year... Because a mobile or transportable device like this, is pretty cool with 3g. when you are on the way...
EDIT: I could tether... but i have a 3g limit of 500 mb... and basicly i am not allowed by contract to tether...
I could for a small amount, i only have to deal with the consequences

So, yes, since I have a wifi-only Xoom I have no direct experience with the 3G Xoom to draw on, but from what I have seen, unless the developer says otherwise, it is usually only 3G connectivity that is missing.
