Ok, I've been around for a while among many of the popular android forums and I've seen many people state that they "know" someone who got a Novatel 727/760/etc working on their A500 or Xoom tablet but nothing substantial as to "how" they did it.
I know I can find plenty of threads detailing what is needed for Huawei branded modems and many of the custom roms already include support for these.
I'm hoping by starting this thread someone who "has" been able to get a Novatel dongle working might want to share how to get it done. Thanks in advance.
Bump...bump...
p.s. just to make this bump a little more signifigant I have found a temporary solution. I purchased a 3g router that works with my verizon 3g modem even though there was no supported manufacturer list prior to purchase, I made the leap and bought the WL330N3G made by ASUS. The router comes with a power supply but can also be powered of the A500's USB port making it very convenient but at the same time drains your battery.

It took me about a half an hour to get it configured and connected. The USB modem list does not have any Novatel modems listed but leaving modem selection to auto seems to work. Once setup, it takes about 2-3min to boot up and be connected.
I upgraded the firmware but I think it has some heat and cpu issues as sometimes it seems to lock up and I have to reboot the unit but on most occasions I get several hours of 3G internet for my tablet and other devices.
figured I'd put a bump on this. Maybe someone can suggest a rom that has support for more than the typical Huawei branded usb modems?

Frankly I can't wait for someone to do a tear down to see what the exact hardware features and possibilities to mod the bajeebus out of the thing.
But this device is most likely a pass for me. Being as anything it can do, I can already do everything on my phone, netbook or laptop. There is a bonus however,the kindle touch 3g, has become a lot more affordable.
It would be awesome if the thing had an onboard microSD like the Nook Color does. Image it to a 32GB, swap them out and go.
iFixit posted a teardown here. Highlights:
-No hidden microSD. Sorry.
-what looks like a cast magnesium midframe. It should be pretty sturdy.
-WiFi module is identified as a TI WiLink WL1271 with bluetooth and FM support. This is the same chip as the Nook Color. Whether or not the BT or FM work is up to Amazon to have wired up to the right ports on the OMAP.
Bummer, oh well I'm still stoked to get mine tomorrow.
getting mine later today and am verrrry interested in the possibility of getting bt working.. after i root it and such, there any steps i should start with to see about getting it working?

Until there is a custom rom, there really isn't a way to tell since the Kindle OS won't let you even attempt to pair anything...since it wasn't meant to.
apologies! repeated link, hence removed.
Has anyone successfully connected a Verizon GN3 to an ASUS RT-AC56R router? I have been trying various settings for 3 days without any luck. If you know how to make this work (which it is supposed to do), then please post how you did it.
I am aware that I could use the GN3 as a WiFi hotpot, but I have a number of wired components throughout the house that are not WiFi capable.
Thanks

In order for you todo that you would have to set your router up as a repeater. Might be able to look up how todo that

Thanks.
The repeater mode only functions as a WiFi repeater. I'm looking to utilize a cable to connect via USB to phone. It sure seems to indicate that I *should* be able to make it work, somehow. For example:

I know that the phone itself works in USB tether mode, because USB tethering works fine when connected to a single computer.
Hi guys !
I'm coming here after having looked for an answer everywhere, checked the forums etc.
I actually find answers and topics with a similar problem but none helped me to fix my issue.
I have an Asus transformer T100TAF.
The wifi works well the first 30 minutes (sometimes it is an hour or two, it happens randomly) and then just stop working. Windows doesn't find any Wifi source (usually I can see the neighbours' wifi and of course mine). This logo show up :

}
The only way to fix it is to reboot windows (and then about 30 minutes after, or 1h/2h ... after, the wifi stop working again).
The troubleshoot tell me "''The Broadcom 802. 11abgn wireless SDIO adapter adapter is experiencing driver- or hardware-related problems"
I can connect on my network from my other devices.
I tried updating the wireless adapter drivers.
Thanks for helping guys !
Acer W4 820
I have similar problem. Sometimes it happens. Mostly with bluetooth on.
W4 820
Same here. But im on windows10.
I realized it usually happens when I try to connect to a WiFi with low signal strength. It tries than it crashes . And won't turn back on with the disable enable trick. I moved closer to the router and enabled it again and it connected instantly. What driver do u use?
Get a usb wireless card from amazon. Panda wireless is pretty good
Can anyone with an Asus router, such as the RT-N56U, tell me if the 6P will usb tether to the router?
I do this with my Note II. Gives my whole house internet using the Asus router instead of the phone hotspot, and also get the benefit of ethernet connections and a better wifi signal than the phone can provide. And only having one wifi network to deal with makes things so much better. My Note 4 just sits in a drawer because of this, since it can't be rooted. Which is a shame because it has a better radio and can get sometimes 80mbps+, when the Note 2 only gets around 50mbps.
Well in case anyone else has this question, I went ahead and bought the 6P. Can confirm it worked straight out of the box, didn't have to even change any settings on my Asus router. Just plugged it into the router USB port, and selected USB tether on the 6P.
And the speed is incredible at my house:

Just to be clear, when I said I didn't need to change any settings on my router, meant because I had already set it up with a previous phone. If you've never set up the router to use a USB modem, you'll need to configure it. Very simple, at least on vzw, but not just plug and play.
Hi guys.
I'm new to the Samsung Tab A community. I recently purchased a Samsung Tab A 7.0 - Volte enable tab. As usual samsung has loaded it with too much junk. I would like to either de-bloat the current OS. Or would like to flash a custom rom. I tried a bit of searching and found a few threads about roms. But i am not able find any proper link to flashing process, roms and recovery. Please help me in this regard.
Excuse me if I am re-posting. Thanks guys.
Me too debloatware my TabA
Dont get your hopes uo i havent found anything, just been looking as well. It would be good to get rid of some of the bloatware on here considering the memory available.
I think there were a few i found a while back which i have mosplaced but never got around to installing.
Im not sure but i think i found them on pirate bay which is probably why i was hesitant to install considering sites like that and its users and tapped into every back door there is out there.
Im thinking root the phone then manually delete system files like kids mode and samsung internet and a few other apps built in.
One thing to keep in mind is there are some files which the OS needs so back up, remove, test back up, remove, test and so on.
That way you can roll back to previous versions.
I dont think many people do it because of the headaches. There is no majic button to do it auto in 2 minues. Even developers hesitate.
If a smart phone dies is it bricked? Those were the old blocky phones right? Now a brick. Now a frisbee.
