hi,
i'm french using freebox ADSL modem (Full dégroupé) V5. I've bought an Acer Iconia 500...all was great no problem with wifi connection.
I've just changed 5 days ago my frebbox V5 for the new one the V6...and then no more wifi connection for my Iconia A500.
I don't understand because all parameters of the V5 freebox are pushed by the free management operator's site in the new one.
I've checked in the freebox management software all informations are the same like old version.
All my others PC (notebooks & Netbooks) or Smartphones (Samsung Galaxy S) find and can use the wifi signal of the new Freebox.
In this new box (Freebox) diffrence is just an 802.11n implementation (V5 = G mode).
I've tried to downsize wifi signal from N to G, but problem still continue.
Has some one an idea or solution???
Thank you all for your help.

Is there an option to set the network to Ad-Hoc or Infrastructure? The A500 can not use Ad-Hoc, so you need to set it to Infrastructure. If the A500 does not even display the network, then this is probably the problem. I had the same problem when using my iPhone as an access point. All other pcs could see the network except the A500.
if there is a reset button on the modem, just pressed it and reset all settings..
my friends problem gone with that..
What I'd like to accomplish is to access the Internet through my cell phone's data service using Bluetooth, not WiFi.
I've tested, and it is possible on other Honeycomb tablets (ie., Eee Pad, Galaxy Tab, both with HC 3.2. On those, I can go through the bluetooth settings screen while connected to my cell phone, and the tethering profile is available, but it is not on my Acer A500.
It seems as though at least one custom ROM solves this: The PRIMEE ROM with David's Mod lists 'enhanced network driver (tethering enabled for Bluetooth / wifi / usb)' among it's features, seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201802
I am willing to root and maybe install a different kernel, but would like to keep the software as close to stock as I can. Is it possible to get this feature on the A500 without flashing a whole new ROM?
Much thanks to any pointers or solutions.
This is the only ROM that has it for iconia and everything works perfect for me.

I am running latest version of
Thor Transformer Revolver 3.6 port v7
Thank you very much, though I am looking to avoid flashing a new ROM altogether.
Any further information is greatly appreciated.
I looked for the same thing for over a month and it looks like the profile cant be exported or imported.
That is really your only option.
good luck
Thanks again, you may have saved me a bunch of mucking around (though I did spend much time Googling...) Have you by chance tried any other ROMs recently?
I have tried all the ROM's out there for A500 for the same reason as you.
I wanted to Bluetooth tether to my iPhone.
Only the transformer has the option and Xoom, but Xoom with their latest release broke the function, so any ROM coming from xoom will have the option but not connect.
again the Thor ROM is awesome ROM and works great.
and he is always providing updates and keeping in touch with the users on his site.
good luck
Hm. Im trying Thor's ROM now, and it kinda sucks that my camera no longer works, the backlight isn't automatic anymore, sound doesnt seem tobe as crisp, and the battery seems to be discharging way more quickly. I'll probably end up going back to my original rooted/stock. Oh well, thanks anyway.
That is not true
everything works perfect, including the camera and sound, did you grab the latest version? only back lite sensor does not work, which is same for other roms as well.
beside that everything else works perfect.
make sure you are grabbing the right one, Thor transformer revolver 3.6 V8 and also update you kernel to A500/501 Kernel 3.7 Android 3.2 + the-rest: for roms with custom kernel buildin
ok,
I have a blackberry torch 9800 phone, with unlimited data
I have an acer a500 tablet I would like to tether to my phone
according to what I have read here, I should be able to do this with Thor's revolver.
so I went to tegraowners as suggested
rolled back my 3.2 OTA to 3.0.1
factory reset
rooted tablet
installed acer recovery installer
installed thor recovery
put thor recover latest version on microsd card
updated thor recovery
during this process I mentioned to thor I wanted bluetooth DUN, and he replied if revolver v7 worked for it, then thors a500 rom v12 should as well
so I downloaded and installed v12, and now when paired with phone, there are no DUN options showing at all, I just get paired but not connected, same as stock image.....
what am I doing wrong here?
I had the same problem when upgraded, just do a clean install of V12 and it works perfect, I did that yesterday.
reboot to recovery, format everything and install V12.
SO WHEN YOU PAIR YOUR ANDROID TABLET TO THE PHONE, WHAT DO YOU SEE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO INITIATE BLUETOOTH DUN?
All I have seen so far is device paired but not connected, and the wrench icon doesn't have anything in it other than change name of the connection, and option to unpair.
nothing else shows.

You should be able to pair the tablet w/ your phone, via BT, not sure if you need the bluetooth tethering on the tablet enabled or not, and you should be connected. Just did this on my tablet today w/ my droid x. Currently streaming breaking bad via netflix on the tablet
with my blackberry torch 9800 you have to use bluetooth Dial Up Networking or DUN to initiate the connection. I do it from my windows 7 laptop and it works fine, but no dice on the acer a500 , and running the rom that is supposed to have bluetooth DUN profile built in..... very frustrated at this point.
I am considering just waiting until I am eligible for a new phone in February, and see if I can get a newer phone that supports wifi tethering....
You can create a pan network (at least using an android phone). Let's say your phone is the master/server: turn on bluetooth and make it discoverable. Then run "pand -c <macaddress-of-phone>" on your tablet. You will see an icon for bluetooth tethering in the status bar on the phone. Find the bnep0 ipaddress on the phone by running "netcfg". This will also have created a network interface called bnep0 on the tablet and you can run "ifconfig bnep0 <bnep0 ip of the phone + 1> netmask 255.255.255.0 up" to create the interface. Finally run "route add default gw <bnep0 ip address of the phone> dev bnep0" and "setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8" and you're done. As for dun, get an rfcomm binary from a cm7 zip , grab profile/chatscript of your operator of the internet, create your interface, and you should be able to dial up using any smartphone. (pand & pppd are installed on the taboonay rom)
Has there been any progress on this? Is there any bluetooth DUN support in the new ICS roms? I'd really like to tether to my phone (works perfect with laptop).

i tried this with Custom ROM ICS 4.0.4
Bluetooth is able to pair with my Phone (Iphone 4s) and connect as a personal Hotspot
but when i type the command ifconfig bnep0 .........
i alway get the Message "Cannot assign the requested IP Adress"
the same as i got with "dhcpcd bnep0"
any Ideas ?
Thanks
Big11
What do you mean you can connect as a personal hotspot? And what about the other instructions before ifconfig bnep0?
Hello everyone, I had recently changed ROM to my defy and I have only one problem.
The thing is that I can't connect to my wifi network at home, keeps waiting for "ip address" and then go back to search wifi networks, and again it tries to connect with no result waiting for ip address...
before I changed the ROM I wasn't with any issues of that kind... any help how can I fix it pls?
regards.

Go to settings>wireless and networks>wifisettings> press menu button > advanced > Check enable auto IP. If that do not work than check 'Use static IP' and type in the IP that your router would broadcast to... (There is a range of IPs normally)

That's the first thing I did... but I have already "fixed" the problem.
I changed the wifi encryptation from WEP to WPA/PSK and it connected almost inmediatly
it seems that the problem is on the ROM
ty for the answer
Greetings
I have this issue as well when I try to connect WEP wifi based and failed. But after some persistent try it did connected at last.

Is there any (easy) way to remove the (maybe) BSSID while connected to wifi? Its seen in lockscreen when in tablet mode on PA and PACman ROMs.
the lockscreen always has 00:00:00:00:00:00 written in front of wifi icon, and "no internet connection" when no wifi. would be better if it showed network name, or nothing at all (esp when not connected- i know no connection!)
On HTC HD2, using PACman beta v1 for now, had this 'problem' on other paranoid builds too when in tablet mode.
hope someone would "throw" some light here
Bid
bump!!
Hello,
I've tried to update to 6.0 / 6.0.1 ROM's (CM, Pure, AOSP,...) and for all of them I'm facing a trouble with WIFI connection.
I can get Nexus 7 (2k12, grouper) to connect to the WIFI, however it always stick with 'Connected - no internet'.
- I tried legacy DHCP settings in DEV.
- different settings of router
- all ROMs with corresponding recoveries & cleared cache/data/dalvik/etc.
- different wifi networks, all of them working with my phone/notebook OK
- static IP settings in tablet
But no progress.
Any idea what to do?
I haven't found any reasonable suggestion around here.
