Does the nexus 7 2013 have support for internet via otg?
My friend wants to buy a 16GB wifi model and he has a huawei flash drive with sim card which provides internet.
There is no concern about rooting and stuff, I can help him with that.

Would you mind posting a link to this device, please? It sounds like you're describing a dongle that provides cellular connectivity which can connect to our tablets, but I I'm not able to find any such dongle with a micro-USB port.
EDIT-
Haven't really had time to read through these in-depth, but it looks like these guides might point you in the right direction:

Went to best buy yesterday, and noticed the slot where sdcard goes, there's another slot that has grey tape covering it. Perhaps a 3g/4g sim slot? Best Buy sales dude removed tape and it looks like it would fit a sim card. Hmm...
Don't do it! We seriously need a FAQ. Your sim card will fall in and you won't get it back unless you open the Iconia up. The Wifi model lacks the hardware to use a sim card.

The sim card slot with dimension for stand SIM or Acer only release for unique network providers ? And SD card only format with FAT on A500 is that true? If yes what should we do with another format?
If you take the little sticker that covers the slot, it has the same icon as the SD card - an SD card shaped indention with an arrow pointing to the hole. Right below the slot, there is wording "sim card". Wonder why they didn't enable this?
Yes I find it out and on some forum fans say that it only empty hole SIM card slot but someone say that it not support by A500 but A501 another say kernel has 3G support but sim card slot on A500 was empty and does not work. Where to believable ?
On my A500 its written warranty void if sim card tape is broken.
Anyway anybody tried USB 3G modem dongle with Acer A500 ?
Have a look in the Development forum. There is a kernel module posted there to allow USB 3G dongles to be used. Root required and for advanced users only.

This works for me
I know this won't help many, but,,, if you need/want 3G/4G, easiet way...
I use my rooted EVO with custom rom, and run wifi router ..
Eats battery tho.. get a backup.. would be nice to have an acer with it built in or an option.
The HTC View that Sprint is releasing with 4G did not impress me with the 7inch screen, but I already have EVO, and I don't have to worry about the 2gb data cap plan on a data device, whereas a rooted phone, no cap exists

Hello Folks
I have a Canadian bought Motorola XOOM MZ604 which has a slot for SIM Card, which I tried and doesnt work.
Can I flash any rom to make this 3G? can someone guide me to the appropriate thread
Welcome to xda.. im a canuck as well and have only had my MZ604 for a few weeks.from my understanding our units do not have the components rigged on the motherboard for 3G. Initial us versions when purchased at the start had to return there units months later to motorola for upgrade which took approx a week.I think we are stuck with just our wifi units as they are...Its still a great unit and can be connected to internet via bluetooth tethering as well as just wifi. Old Windows Mobile 6.5 Phones using wmwifirouter 2.0 Works great via bluetooth to connect to the internet... Hope this helps..
again welcome to xda..

This cannot be done. It does not have a 3G radio installed

Yeah the wifi xooms has a wifi only chip installed, it is physically soldered to the motherboard. Where as the 3g ones had a multi band chip installed then later got a micro pcie card installed for the lte.
You can do it... there is a walk thru but the chip its self is about 200-250$ USD. And a LOT of know how

I don't mean to hijack anyone's thread but along the same lines as the OP, what would happen if one were to swap out the motherboard for the WiFi Xoom with a 3G board? These days a working replacement board costs like $60 on eBay, I was wondering whether it's a possibility because the 3G board comes with the miniPCI 3G card and a set of antenna leads (I think) and the rest of the hardware looks identical.

I'm sure it is possible if you know what you are doing. A person would need to do more than just swap out the motherboard, not to mention, they would have make sure the chip works, if not the chip would cost over $200 to purchase, but why do all that? Just purchase the 3G version the price is fairly cheap.
Hi Everyone,
I have an LTE USB Stick (Sierra 330U) from Bell Canada. I also have an OTG device. When LTE Stick is connected to Nexus 7 it can see it's memory but that's not what I want to use. I want to eject that and just use the stick for it's LTE internet.
Is there an app that I should download or something else to get this running?
Device is rooted.
Thanks

I'm thinking of buying an nexus 7 .
But I don't want to assume anything I want to make sure.
A nexus 7 16 gb and 32 both use the same roms?
A 4g nexus 7 has different roms than the non 4g nexus 7.
Can you flash a non 4g Rom and still have everything else work but the 4g?
no phone calls on 4g nexus but sms is working.?
I'm still on the fence on getting a new nexus 7 2013 vs nexus 7 2012
Thank you for any information you can provide.
written in your mud with my stick
The 3G version uses a different ROM build than then wifi-only version. Often the different builds will be identified by the device's code name. 'Grouper' is the code name for the WiFi N7, and 'tilapia' is the one for the 3G model - 2012 generation only.
When looking for a ROM or recovery to flash to your Nexus 7, be absolutely certain that the build is for your specific device. The storage size doesn't matter.
As for which one to buy, well, I'd assume you can get a 2012 one to play with quite cheaply. That's what I have, and I think it's a great little tablet for web surfing, games, and reading. You probably can't go wrong either way.

Please ask for the help of you who already have the Nexus 7 (I still have not, I am choosing one to buy):
I just saw a video on youtube explaining how to connect internet with 3G modem in Nexus model Wifi.
I want to ask you if this method is still valid, even for the Nexus 7 new models launched this year, the second generation.
I need to know because I'm deciding to purchase a Nexus 7 Wifi.
Thanks for your attention.
