Huawei E1750 modem

[ion54]

Anyone knows how to setup the 3G modem?
I cannot get an APN to save and when I'm trying to detect the network I get the message the network is not available.

Thank you in advance!

Thank you very much. I'll give it a try tomorrow and post the results.

What I found:
1. ICS does not allow changing APN settings.
2. The only way you can get an APN manager to become a system application is "theoretically" with full version of Titanium Backup.

Until somebody else tries and reports that is working I will not pay for Titanium Backup.

More Info:
I have paid for Titanium. I was able after that to make the APN manager a system application but that did not solved the problem. ICS is still not allowing a change of the internal APNs.
In a nut shell I was unable to use the modem (E1756 - real reported name) with the tablet. The modem is trying to get a 3G connection but I cannot input the network information.

I'm also not able to set-up Huawei E1750 modem with my PD20. I couldn't save any new access points for the mobile networks (here in Bulgaria) so the device is not able to connect and get internet access. I bought this Huawei modem especially for the tablet, keep trying to get it work...

The modem works fine with the laptop, so , in my case is not a complete waste of money.

I made a tutorial about how to configure 3G modem on PD10, but it's in spanish (I guess the images should be enough) http://www.mediafire.com/?52zfigb7sqv25rm
If you have problems, I can try to translate it if I get some time

Thanks for the tutorial, I already did all up to the step "Instalacion en Android". My problem is that the tablet does not detect any signal while the modem is connected and also I get error when trying to detect networks in the menu "Network Operators". It's like the modem is not even detected by the tablet. I don't know why is that, on the laptop this Huawei E1750 works just fine ! Tomorrow I'll try with another SIM card to different mobile operator...

Did you try the firsts steps, where you disable PIN Verification, then disable every other functions in the USB, except the modem itself, using console and COM port?

gonza: Everything is done. There is only modem available when connect it and the SIM card has no PIN code. I purchased the 3G modem from http://www.pandawill.com/unlocked-hu...usb-modem.html and I think everything should be OK with it.

P.s. ... Actually according to the windows software the modem I received is E1756C and not E1750 and I believe this should be the reason why it's not detected.

I have a Huawei E169 modem & thought I'll get it a go, even though it is not listed in the supported modems.

gonza, thanks for the tutorial. I tried using putty. But for some reason, modem kept saying COMMAND NOT SUPPORT. Then I tried a program called Mwcomm

http://www.mwconn.net/download_mwconn.html

This software has an exe called Configure, which has a modem console. You can enter AT commands and it worked!

But no luck connecting with my tablet (PD10 Olympic edition). Modem light blinks.. I used aLogcat app to see what is happening:
