Hi all,
I'm new at xda forum, nice to see all of you.
I have new Viewpad 10s for a week and i got an issue on it. Since my first time i plugged my SIM card to this device until today i see the mobile network is not working properly. I already did the APN setting. Some times it does get internet connection (G,E,3G,H) some times it doesn't get any internet connection for a long time. i already try to disabled and re enabled the data setting but it can not make it work too.
Is it just happen with me or is there any one have same issue with me? is there any solution for this condition?
Welcome to the Vega Forum!
As far as i am aware this is a known issue. Vegacomb was not made for that tablet, it does contain drivers for 3g but not the ones for your viewsonic. There is a version knocking around called viewcomb. Of what i have read it has been ripped off from newbie5 work, Not cool!! But your choice to try it. I will not post a link as i dont approve of its use as its not been given the go ahead by rebel1 or newbie5 (or any of the other devs i have forgotten)
Take it easy

Thanks for your replay. But is it still happen when you are using stock ROM from Advent Vega? I mean is it an issue came from this variant or it just happen only on viewpad 10s?

Hi!
If you're using stock ROM you shouldn't update your ViewPad 10s thru the Advent Vega website because I think their ROMs don't include the 3G drivers (I could be wrong).
You should update only thru the official ViewSonic site.

http://ap.viewsonic.com/my/kbase/article.php?id=257
Hope this helps!
There is no "Advent Vega" tablet that has 3g, so the firmware does not have it. As yani2000 said, best stick with roms made for your tablet
all right mates, thank you for your suggestion...
Report back if your 3G connection would still be failing after the update.
Then I would recommend to try different SIM card (preferably on a different network) from your friends/relatives.
i have a 3G Viewsonic 10s running on VEGACOMBS .. my 3G works beautifully but if the tablet goes to sleep for a period of time, once i turn it on again, the 3G will not be able to get a signal.. only way to fix it is to do a reboot .. and it works again...
Try to re-activate data connection or go into airplane mode or re-search for mobile networks instead of rebooting your tablet.
The Vegacomb is still beta grade software and not all bugs have been fixed.
Sorry, but I can't help you more on that.
thanks.. beta grade...
i am one very happy user..

I have the same problem that I did install the Viewcomb 3.2 and my Viewpad 10s does detect the SIM card. However, the 3G just does not work and there is not connection to the network. Anything can help?

I was using EasyTether on my dual boot android Tilt phone before getting the Aria. I managed to find an apk but it's for an older version.
I thought I would see if someone can get a later version? as of post time the latest is 0.9.10.
I was able to use the Installing 3rd Party Apps post to load the version I found. So, it will work and doesn't require root access!
Edit: Removed attachment since there is a better way! Thanks guys!
Does it work on the Aria???

If you have Wifi shut down your phone, take out your SIM, turn it back on and connect to the market via Wifi. Easytether will come back along with other AT&T restricted programs. This is what i did in order to get it back on my phone and it works great. Also one of the reasons why im baking it into my personal rom so i always have it.

Please forgive the NOOB, me......but,
I have the Aria on it's way and desperately need to be able to tether. I'm marginally savvy but know nothing about rooting....is it required to tether?
Or can I simply follow the instructions above on an unmodified Aria out of the box, install easytether and have it work?
Works
Confirm, this really works.
Thanks A++++++++++++++++
It does seem to work just fine

Just so I'm clear, (cuz I'm frequently not)
When you write "it" works, the "it" in this case is an unmodified Aria, with Easy Tether installed via the no sim/wifi download method described above - correct?
With no other fancy mods, I should be able to tether to my laptop - yes?
(fingers crossed)......

Actually my Aria is in fact rooted running attN1's ROM. Sorry!
Can we maybe get someone with a stock out of the box Aria to give this a try and report back for our friend here!?
I'm sure we can get someone to try this for you. There seem to be plenty of Aria/Liberty users out there now.

Thanks for quick clarification - and no problem. If, in fact, this works, I believe it will be the first (easy) successful tether mod - if I'm not mistaken - and a fairly big development. I've been searching feverishly for an easy solution since placing my order yesterday (confident that it would eventually be cracked). If we don't get a confirmation on whether this works on a vanilla Aria by the time mine arrives, I will gladly give it a try and report back asap.
This place is an amazing resource.

You can get a good nights sleep tonight. I have verified that taking your SIM out and connecting to the Android Market using Wifi will allow you to download EasyTether and install it on a stock Aria. I too had a big need to tether, but I was keeping my Samsung Jack in my computer bag for that very reason.
Now that I have EasyTether loaded on my Aria it works perfectly. I will probably end up buying the full version for $10.00 because I will need https support once the trial runs out.

Tom

Thanks, yea, not a problem - I prefer USB. When I would BT tether with my Pure, it would run @ 2mps, USB brought it up to 10.
I to can confirm it works as well. Stock at&t rom, Vista 64. I also went to cnet's bandwith meter and pulled 395kbps... meh I'll take it.
Now I have my laptop which runs Fedora 11 connected via Easy Tether.
I used the ubuntu drivers from EasyTether's website and converted them to an .rpm using alien to install it on Fedora.
Thanks for posting the how-to's they led me in the right direction.
Look like this is the way to install any software in the marketplace that AT&T does not approve.
Amazin Find. I have wifi 90% of the places I go but this helps everyone else greatly!

I tried the same thing in Fedora 13, but things don't seem to be working. After converting .deb to .rpm and installing it (no errors showing), I tried:

However,

Nada. I tried (in a different window)

As stated, I'm connecting to an Evo instead of an Aria. Running Froyo supplied by Sprint/HTC. (Easytether's FAQ claims that it should work on Froyo too.)
Any suggestions?

i used pdanet to tethering with my GF aria the other day. Installation took a few minutes and worked great. The speed is much faster than the stock andriod browser.
Can someone tell me how to get the Wi fi working in windows 7 on hd2 ??
assuming you have actually tried turning it on there couple of a couple of possible reasons its not working.
firstly WP7 wont connect to hidden networks
secondly, wifi not working is a very common sign of a incompatible SD card,
Thanks for the reply
a "compatible SD card" well what are most people using?
I am using a SanDisk 4G is that good or bad?
I also have a 16G but that’s for android
I'm using my stock tmous 16gb sandisk. From what I've read, & including the three HD2's I've installed WP7 on, it's very compatible.
yes i have the same problem, i know my sd card works with it because, i went through like 4 roms, and it worked perfect. I have installed HD2O_1.04_DFT_LEO70_RELEASE, and everything is perfect BUT wifi
ok let me be clear on this one, dispite what some folk on here believe there is no compatible list, any thread suggesting otherwise is just a waste of bytes.
however, in saying that, statistically, you have a better chance with a class 2 or 4 8gb or 16gb, thats not to say others wont work because they might, in short its luck!
sandisk, an all the other brands all suffer the same issue, im not going in to details on that issue but bassically even the same make and model of a card may or may not work, this is down to the manufacturing process and what components are used.
The only way you can take anyones "advice" on a specific card working is if they have tried it and physically gave it to you.
yes its a common error, you SD card might work but if its not completely compatible it may have issues, wifi, lagging, random reboots etc.

then, it's not your sd card that is the problem! simple logic here mynamemonte.
can you new folks please be more specific when asking questions? a generic question like "how do i get wi-fi to work in wp7 on a hd2" leaves open all sorts of interpretations.
a better question would have been..."i've tried such and such to get wi-fi working and not having any luck". also, if you include the rom and specific technical information about your set up increases the likelihood of a direct answer.

That is what I've gathered from all the readings on the SD card issue in the various forums. I'm using Kingston 16GB SD, class 6 that I bought to speed things up a bit when I was still using WM6.5. Works fine for me, but I'm on Frantic's 7008 ROM.
I think SD issues are a combination of both the card itself and the tweaks of the various ROM cooks put into their individual versions other than the basic DFT port.

Thanks for the info. I was getting tired of having to switch my broadcast option at home to use wi-fi. I've installed it and we'll see if it works at home tonight considering I may need the NoDo update which isn't out for the HD2 yet.
Will report later.
Btw...HTC sent out an update for the Connection Setup tool on Marketplace this morning. Just in case this update fixes any issues I may run into with HTC Wi-Fi I would recommend people install the update.

There is nothing wrong with the Wifi module, after trying tens of Roms, I've learned that it's an operating system bug, which was fixed in Miui and Oxygen Roms.
Sending the phone back to warranty will not solve ANYTHING.
What i have read about experiences servicing the phone (in Finland) for the know bugs, they do little or nothing. Waste of time in my opinion...

It is not always a problem related to the phone - sometimes the wireless access point is just not configured properly or it is a netgear/thompson/etc.
I use the Oxygen-ROM and I do not have problems connecting to my routers running dd-wrt for example. On the other hand I cannot connect to a cheap router provided by the ISP of a friend.

If it does not work with any ROM and with any wirless access point I suggest you ask for a replacement, this clearly is a hardware-failure then.
Hi all,
is there any solution for a non-rootet Iconia A500 to get an ad-hoc connection to my Nokia N8. Unfortunaly I made an update to the new HC 3.2 and lost the possibility to tether via my phone. That`s for me the only missing thing at the new ROM and i don`t want to flash my tab for this.
Thank you for your help!
This would be grand, ad-hoc is one of the few reason I have my tab rooted, and I'm perfectly fine with what stock HC has to offer. If only it would support ad-hoc from the box... (or better yet, support root from the box...)
I have not tried this.
There.is a new PDA.net on the market I think it might help you if yountry post your results here please.
Hi Erica_Renee,
thanks for answering my question. The PDA.net seems very interesting but unfortunatly i own a nokia n8 with symbian os so it will not work. But you idea
will be helpful for other user using a mobile device with a other os.

I did post this on the other thread you posted Erica Renee but I will say it again I can confirm the PDA net tablet version does work. I am on it now. My droid charge is rooted 2.3.4 and my tab is stock hc 3.2. I updated it yesterday when I got it out of the box. Took like 2 or 3 updates. But I am in Montgomery Alabama to. I am a trucker, in 4g on my tab right now. Just had to configure proxy settings, pair Bluetooth n away I go, woot

Hi...
I had been using my tab for over 4 months without any issues. My wifi has suddenly stopped working (tab gets connected to the wifi but the the icon doesn't turn blue and the network is not up). I had recently updated to 3.2.1 but it was working fine for a few weeks on that too.
I changed my Wifi router security from WEP to WPA and also tried using static IP. I even did a factory reset (apart from the hard and soft resets) and I still have the problem. It is not rooted (and I don't want to do that yet) and since I'm not able to connect to the internet, I can't use any market apps to fix the wifi issue (even if there is one). Appreciate some help on this. Thanks.
This was happening to me all the time pre 3.2.1. Updated, sometimes it still happens but a lot less. I don't have my tab in front of me but I did find a Wifi widget icon. All you do is press it once to turn Wifi off and then again to start it again. You can probably find an APK on Google and install through your computer.
Kjy posted a wifi fix over in his rom. Install it. It was Acer official so I know it will work with stock. Having a similar problem and thinking about installing myself.

Yea but don't you have to be rooted to install that which the OP said he didn't want to do.
I am having wifi signal strength issue with mine as well. I think I am going to sell mine to get something else. It seems like these units are notorious for lie signal strength which sort of defeats the purpose of a tablet. When my phone gets significantly better strength that is bad.
I think it might be because of the metal back cover and a poor antenna.

Should I just go into recovery mode and install the specific file? Can you point me to the location of the fix?
Thanks.
Search this forum for the file... It's not hard to find. You'll need ClockworkMod to install it. Just flash on top of your rom, reset cache and (just to be sure) dalvik cache under advanced...
That actually only solves a part of the problem; the other part is the fairly weak antenna (just replace it, instructions are in this forum). The less intrusive solution is a repeater (~30 euro here in Germany).
Another good lead is to use a better WiFi AP. Cheap ones (particularly with those 10dbm antennas) tend to produce a lot of noise, which in turn triggers the driver bug (which seems to be the root of this evil) more often... this can be so bad it actually makes WiFi completely unusable (happened to me). The only solution to this is to spend a few extra bucks for some good router hardware (I use a Linksys/Cisco router and Huawei repeaters, all of which work fine).
