Here's what I have:
Acer Iconia A500 running Civato's Flexstriker ROM
Huawei e153 3G USB stick
I can send REAL SMS using my SIM card through GOSms without any problems but I want to be able to do GSM calls too. I know that the USB stick is compatible because I already tried calling my house when the 3G stick is connected to the PC. I think the problem is the Iconia A500 doesn't have phone.apk and telephony.apk. I tried downloading them from other sources but it's not compatible. If anyone is interested and able to help, thanks a lot!!!

Hi all,
I would like to know if it's possible to connect my Iconia A500 with the 3G connection from my mobilePhone like it's possible on the Xoom, (tethering)
is it possible to get the file from the Xoom to activate this feature on the iconia?
on the PDF manual from Acer, we can see in settings "tethering and portable hotspot" and "mobile network", but no access to these settings on my iconia
does something special to do to access or activate them?

Hi,
Its not the iconia that needs software, its the phone.
Set it up as hotspot/wifi tether, the iconia will pick it up in wifi settings, just touch it and connect to it.
Not sure what version built in hotspot/tether starts, but my blade has 2.3.3 CM7RC2 and it is built into the cyanogen settings within the phone settings.
Hope this helps, if not it is still probably clear as mud

@MJ-12
at first, many thanks for your very fast reply,
but, i must specify than the 3G connection via Tethering like the Xoom, is via Bluetooth,
it's maybe not fast as Wifi? i'll try this method, but that's what i used on my Archos 70it in native and it was pretty good, no soft to lunch on the phone.
if someone know how we must do for a BT method...
for information my mobile is a Nokia N8, so it must be possible.
Ah ok now i get you, i see what you mean now.
Unfortunately i am not familiar with n8 or symbian so that is as far as i can go.
Hope there is an n8/iconia owner out there who can help you soon.
Regards...

About the connection via BT, the advantage is that it's the tablet lunching the connection, and when is no more needed it stop automatically,
also with the wifi hotspot, you need to stop the connection yourself.
I used to own a N8 before switching to a DHD.
At that time I was using the application from 3W joiku dot com that turned my N8 into Wifi Hotspot.
Keep in mind that bluetooth is quite slow ( 1 Mb max ) SFR does provide 3 to 5 Mb/s of bandwith ... so bluetooth is really not the option you want to go for , uneless you want make you surfing experience as slow as possible.
I have downloaded Dolphin Browser HD on my iconia , because there is an easy option to change its user agent ( I set it to : Iphone) this way I can use the 3G connection provided by my DHD on SFR without letting them know that I am using my phone as a modem , and as a result of this I don't get charged of course ;-)
@hiroko83
can you connect your iconia to your N8 via joikuspot? 'cause i'd tryed and my iconia doesn't found my joikuspot hotspot.
can you giving to me your joikuspot soft version and wich parameters you'd used for you hotspot, and how to detect hotspot on iconia?

Your phone will create a Ad-hoc hotspot. However the iconia cannot connect to ad-hoc hotspots without a new wpa_supplicant (it's not working in stock android). SO you need to root and replace the wpa_supplicant before this will work. Check the development thread for instructions.
We're all waiting for the custom roms when this will all be fixed...
many thanks all for your help, i'd changed my wpa_supplicant as you told, and it works perfectally,
BUT, Not for the native web browser, for this one, you need to type:
about:debug [enter]
going in settings, débug, and select in UAstring something else than Android or Desktop.
i'd choose, Froyo of course ;P
many thanks all. it was a big problem for me, a tablet without internet!? useless.
********** UPDATE *************
some applications seems to be down as "facebook for android (no feeds, but chat works fine)" "native webbrowser (with the most of user Agent)" "Firefox"
i suppose that's my mobile provider SFR who limit access to some ports used by the apps.
please advise if it's different at yours to know if it's my iconia, my manipulation, or my mobile operator.

HI
I just got my a500 - 32gb
Is there a way or work around to connect my USB 3g to my a500 wifi only?
I really dont want to root it.
Anyone?
Thanks,
Is there any driver for connecting a 3G USB stick like the Huawei E1750 to the transformer or will there be developed a driver in the future?

Doubtful that any 3G USB devices will ever work on android tablets. You are better off getting a 3g hotspot device or something that can tether via bluetooth.
werd my work pays for my Verizon Mifi so I have internets wherever I go, just coming back from a 12 hour drive on vacaction, it's a lovely device to carry around with me.

So I guess it's a matter of time
Guys, one question bit off topic:
I was waiting for this tablet that will come out tomorrow here in Portugal.
But if it doesnt have USB on the Tablet (for usb internet stick) neither sim card internet, how can i connect it to internet without the dock?
Yes, i want to buy the dock because thats also why i want this tablet, but my point is: if i wanna use google maps to visit places and have live points of interest, pictures and directions do i need to carry the dock?
If anyone with the tablet could make this clear to me i would appreciate.
You can use your Android Mobile as a WiFi hotspot. If you have one.
Yes connectivity ONLY works with dock. Or use tethering with your phone + eee pad

Has anyone tried applying the changes from the first thread to a Transformer ?
Now we can safely debrick devices with NVFlash I may give it a try.
-- EDIT --
OK, after doing a Nandroid backup, I've individually backed up the files affected and applied everything from the 3g-a500-v1.zip file apart from build.prop.
For build.prop I've backed up the original and added the following lines at the bottom.
WW_epad.3g=true
rild.libpath=/system/lib/libhuawei-ril.so
rild.libargs=-d /dev/ttyUSB2
ro.pad.features.modem=true
to the end. (I'm not sure about the "WW_epad" bit of that first line)
After changes, tablet seems to boot OK and wifi networking is unaffected.
However it turns out today is the day I DIDN'T put my huawei E160 modem in my bag. DOH
Actually trying it with the modem will have to wait till I get home from work.

Hello XDA Forum Members,
First of thanks to all you guys that take their time and help us to fix problems or let us understand things clearly about Android.
My question is that I just bought Acer Iconia A500 and love it and I was expecting to use my LG Optimus V wifi tethering (I can use the wifi tethering easily to my laptop using wireless tether app). I cannot seem to connect it to my Acer tablet. I used PDA Net app for tablets and others wifi tethering app using Bluetooth but the problem comes to only one thing. When I try to connect bluetooth to my Acer tablet, I seem to pair it easily but on both end i.e. on my phone as well as Acer tablet I get a message "Paired but not connected". I also cannot seem to see any proxy settings in Acer tablet settings so that I can tweak it plus after pairing I cannot seem to see Internet Connection in Bluetooth Profile section to connect to internet. But on the other hand I can flawlessly (with out any problem) use my Virgin Mobile LG Optimus internet to my laptop.
I tried everything but unsuccessful and here I am asking you guys to help me.
I am pretty sure you guys out there smarter than me to give me a simple solution.
Thanks
Nick

I have no idea about using bluetooth to tether so I cant help you there. But what happens when you try and tether over wifi?
I've got an Optimus V running CM7 and I'm able to wirelessly tether perfectly via wifi using QuickSettings off the marketplace. I've been doing it with my A500 or my old CM7 Nook Color for a good 4 or 5 months now.
Once you get your mobile hotspot set up, you literally open the app and hit a button to turn on the tethering. It's really easy.
I'm tethering a connection with my Xperia X10 using 'Wifi Tether for root users' app. I'm sure it work's fine cause I'm able to connect to this network via laptop or another android phone. What I'm not able to do is connect to this network from my Transformer. I click on the network and it just changes the state to Remembered but it won't connect to it no matter how many times I cick the thing.
Have any of you managed to solve this already?
I'm running an official ICS, no root or stuff. Completly clean.
What type of hotspot is it putting out? Ad hoc?
I think so
I don't know if it can help, but the issue you describe is exactly the one I had when I used my HTC Sensation (with any ICS custom ROM) as a Wifi AP : I could browse the web from any peripheral connected to the "HTC Portable Hotspot"... except from my TF101 !
I thought the problem came from the TF101 itself (and I'm still thinking it...), but curiously I solved it by flashing my HTC Sensation back to stock ROM (Android 2.3.4) !
Now my TF101 can browse the web through my Sensation like any other device...
I'm still thinking it's Transformer. I was flashing several softs before I started posting. It was always only the bloody transformer that couldn't connect... funny thing is that exactly week ago on the exactly same ICS I've managed to connect. Then it started to fail.
I thin your router needs to support Infrastructure and not adhoc networks to work wth the transformer.

Dude - it's a phone, not a router. It supports ad-hoc only. And as I said - it worked ocassionally. Myabe it's a reason to call a guarantee services?
if your TF is already rooted, then try the free app wifiadhocenabler from the market. i used this for my galaxy s2 because samsung disabled adhoc connections.
I can connect to my x10 just fine using the native tethering (via settings). I am still on HC though...
Sent from my X10a using The Force
I'm just a user, but I had the same problem when I was running Gingerbread on my HTC Legend. Now, there aren't really any proper drivers for that on Gingerbread, so it was done ad-hoc. When I updated to ICS on the TF101 it lost the ability to connect to ad-hoc hotspots. Installing a ROM that uses Froyo fixed it.
I think Prime users faced the same issue, but managed to enable ad-hoc support. Root on the tablet was of course needed.
This is really weird. One day it's connecting and week later it's not. And I haven't been changing ROM since then (neither on the phone or transformer)
Ad-hoc wireless support was supposed to be fixed in the latest .17 ICS update; however, I am still unable to use my TF101 to connect to an ad-hoc network.
