Acer Iconia Tab A500 and UMW190 USB Modem?

Can the UMW190 USB modem be used with the Acer Iconia Tab A500, or is this tablet supposed to be compatible with Verizon 3G/4G?

I'm sorry but the Acer Iconia Tab A500 is not supported by Verizon Wireless. This tablet is not one of our devices. 
Thanks very much for your posting!

  • Cannot transfer from ADE to Acer Iconia Tab a500

    I have used my Adobe ID and password and installed ADE on my pc (XP), but ADE does not recognize my Acer Iconia Tab a500, which is listed as a supported device.  I have registered the Iconia tab and also authorized it with the same Adobe ID and password.  The installation instructions tell me that my e-reader device will appear as a new bookshelf in the library when the device is connected to my pc, but it does not, so I am unable to transfer from my pc to the e-reader. Any ideas?

    I just got an Acer Iconia A500 for Christmas and was going through the same problems as "cantreadit".  Since I'm not the most technically advanced person in the world (I'm an old fart in his 60's), I was panicking about not being able to use this part of my tablets capabilities, and started looking for a cure on the internet (Acer was almost no help).  I couldn't get past the sign-on to Adobe ADE, and always got an error message.  I saw a comment about a "time-expired" error being caused by the tablet and the computer mot having the same time shown, but my tablet was the exact time as my computer.  When I went a little deeper, I found that my tablet didn't have the "TIME ZONE" marked correctly (mine was set off of GMT, the default).  When I tethered my tablet and computer together and had both open to the time I reset my tablets time (the tablet doesn't set to the second, so I waited until the computers second hand got to the exact minute and clicked on the tablets clock - I don't know if you need to get that exact, but....).  When I went to my tablet and signed in, this time my authorization was accepted.
    Note: Adobe ADE still doesn't show my tablet as connected, and I can't download from Adobe directly, but (being an "old fart") I always save my books first to a folder on my computer before opening them to ADE.  When I went to my tethered tablet and copied the folder with (the DRM protected) e-books on my SD card, then went to LumiRead, then settings, then to "manage my book folders" and added that folder to the folders that LumiRead looks at, ALL the books were there and readable.  Saving the books to a folder first (which my Techno-Geek" son and son-in-law said was un-necessary) seems to have worked out good for me.
    My last concern is that I don't know if Overdrive will also "see" the ADE authorization and let me download books from my local library on line (which I use a lot for my dedicated e-reader), but I'm going to check that out later today (here's hoping that works too).
    This may not be the same problem that the rest of you have been facing (my problem may have been too simple for the rest of you guys to miss), and it may not be the complete cure (I still have the Library & Overdrive to checkout).  Also, the rest of you may have trusted the system to work properly, and not "stupidly" saved the books you bought to a folder on your computer (like a skeptical "old fart" like me would do), but for the other "Old Farts" out there, this may be the cure your looking for (no matter how simple it may be).    

  • I have Iconia Tab A500, running 3.0, need help updating using microsd card, got Acer update download

    I have Iconia Tab A500 running 3.0, need help updating, I downloaded all updaes list in the acer supprt, all versions, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, and 4.something, I read on the acer support somewhere I can use a microsd card to update my device, because acer no longer provides automatically, when i try it says "poor network connection, move to anthoer location.", Do I need to update all the listed updates, or can i only update, using the 4. 0? to get the last known update. I also downloaded, "Documents, Apllications, Drivers, Patches, and O.S..... How do i intsall all these updates, I think am running the very lowest version available, Please Help me... Thank you in advance.

    the update listed on the acer website, that mentions the a500 update is 'kernal source code (for Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich) it's 96.7MB's released 2012/05/08' is that the right one i need? There is also a list of 3 O.S updates, released in 2014/09/05, 391.5MB's, 394.3MB's, and 391.5MB's large, what are those updates, I clicked the model and followed the directions that the acer website asks, and i ended with a list of update released in 2014/09/05, and a Document update released in 2014/12/17, 112.7KB's large,  list of updates reased in 2014/.... and in the Android 4.0 culumn, there is an update that says O.S update released in 2014/09/05, 434.2MB's large, and a Patch Update, that was released in 2013/03/21, what are these updates? listedin the aver website... http://www.acer.ca/ac/en/CA/content/drivers 

  • Acer Iconia Tab 8 A1-840 FHDSD card mount problem

    I bought the Iconia tab 8 (A1-840 FHD) and was disappointed. Due to incorrectly configured firmware - SD card when the device is connected properly mounted within the system (such as an external USB drive), there is no way to transfer files to it (the card is locked for writing applications) can not be set as a cache for Google Music, no connection mode as USB drive when connected to a computer. In fact, it is not working appendage and is not intended for storing information. When can I expect to fix this problem? Why was it decided to change the default for all other tablets on the market functionality?

    I have not been able to use my micro SD card that I bought for my Acer iconia tab 8 from  day 1 as it is not functional due to whatever changes that were made prior to boxing and shipping out to the public. On the box and in advertising it is listed as a feature which constitutes fraud in my opinion. And if there is some round about way of using it that is not good enough. You should be able to utilize the card slot/function just as you would if it were a camera or a laptop computer. Even though I have not been able to use it I have left it in my tablet and when I turned my tablet on I got a notification that it was damaged and to try to reformat it. It's funny that I can't use it but the tablet somehow damaged it! Double whammy! So what is Acer going to do to fix this situation for all of us who have purchased tablets with useless card slots? No excuses or be either. Consumers, like myself, are tired of being lied to and taken advantage of. Yes laptops and tablets are more affordable then ever but that does not mean quality and customer service should be null and void because we are getting such a good deal.

  • [SOLVED] Help needed with ACPI accelerometer - Acer Iconia Tab W501

    Hi,
    I am trying to get the accelerometer working on my Acer Iconia Tab W501
    In windows, it reported as a BMA150 device, so I have that driver loading on boot.
    After months of googling and making a mess in /sys, I still have not got the device working. I was working under the assumption that the device hangs off the i2c bus, but a "lucky google" today uncovered that it is showing up through acpi - acpid is present in my daemons array of rc.conf and the kernel module acer_wmi is also loaded.
    The device is certainly sending signals to the kernel. Upon boot, dmesg ends up as follows:
    [ 11.689709] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready
    [ 12.108374] EXT4-fs (sda2): re-mounted. Opts: commit=0

    [ 22.459133] wlan0: no IPv6 routers present
    Now, if I rotate the device, and run dmesg again, I have the following:
    [ 1255.189705] acer_wmi: Unknown function number - 5 - 1
    [ 1257.363688] acer_wmi: Unknown function number - 5 - 1

    Yet, running acpi_listen generates the following when the tablet is rotated:
    PNP0C14:00 000000bc 00000000
    PNP0C14:00 000000bc 00000000
    PNP0C14:00 000000bc 00000000
    PNP0C14:00 000000bc 00000000
    So, it would seem the device is working and sending data to the kernel/drivers, it appears some config is needed to get it properly recognised and an entry in /dev generated.
    Really hoping there is an acpi expert around who may be able to help me get the device properly recognised and configures, ideally, as a /dev/input/js*
    Cheers.

    There is no need to patch the kernel anymore as current kernels have the acer wmi accelerometer patch merged.
    Ensure you have the kernel module acer_wmi loading and then the events should be propogated. acpi_listen should show the events.
    Using the code from here: http://www.jezra.net/blog/Python_Joysti … ng_Gobject i have written a little daemon that monitors the accelerometer and automatically rotates the screen based on it's position.
    Cheers.
    [EDIT] Being a laptop, I am guessing the accelerometer is possibly on the hard drive?? used for shock protection?? So if that is the case, I am not sure you will be able to utilise it in the same way as a tablet's accelerometer. There are articles on the web for setting up hard drive accelerometers in linux. The other consideration you need is that the accelerometer may not be on acpi. It could be on the i2c bus (commonly where sensors such as fan speed, core temps etc are located), in which case you will need the i2c driver to get the accelerometer events recognised in the kernel (ensure i2c kernel modules are loaded). So check exactly how the kernel detects the accelerometer, is it on acpi or the i2c bus?[/EDIT]

  • Acer Iconia A1-830 and Blackberry z30 Hotspot Connection After OS Upgrade To KitKat 4.4.2

    Despite receiving an update for OS KitKat 4.4.2 my Blackberry z30 is still unable to connect to my Acer Iconia A1-830 via HOTSPOT or BLUETOOTH TETHERING. Obviously this is a software issue because the original OS Jellybean 4.2.4 was working fine before the upgrade to KitKat 4.4.2. Acer need to provide a fix so that my Acer Iconia A1-830 and my Blackberry z30 can connect via HOTSPOT or BLUETOOTH TETHERING.  

      Anything happening with this? I have 3 Acer B1-750s, Android 4.4.4 Kernel 3.10.20+Acer Image version: Acer_AV0K0_B1-750_RV03RC02_WW_GEN1Build #: Acer_AV0K0_B1-750_1.012.00_WW_GEN1 Steps to reproduce:1. Turn on the blackberry hotspot2. Enable WiFi on the tablet3. Select the Blackberry hotspot from the list of available networks4. Enter the WPA pass phrase5. Watch as the Acer repeatedlt tries (and fails) to connect. An open unsecured hotspot is not an option, and in any event the blackberry has no option to disable security.The Acer does connect to Android and iPhone Hotspots with no trouble, but I use a Blackberry in my business operations so those devices don't count.Really need this to work or the Acer tablets I purchased have to be returned for something that works with Blackberry Hotspot, by way of investigating this problem I now know Nexus works properly, as does Samsung)

  • How to unbrick Iconia tab A500

    On power up I get just the Acer logo. There is a post from 2013 that describes how to unbrick but the instructions don't work. It suggests going to the site that lets you download Acer drivers and manuals, viz http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers#_ga=1.181574820.267539145.1417479834.  This should give a zip file that contains 'update.zip' but it doesn't; it contains a file with a name that ends 'Driver Setup.exe' and I don't think that is what I want. The site address has 'US' in it so I looked for the corresponding UK source for drivers and manuals which is http://www.acer.co.uk/ac/en/GB/content/drivers and I then typed in my SNID and selected the OS Android 3.2 Honeycomb (ice cream is 'not available' and  I can always upgrade later). The zip file that results contains the two files H_A31H_A32H_A500_A501/1.inf    and
    USB_Acer_1.00.0524_A30H_A31H_A32H_A500_A501/ICONIA TAB USB Driver Setup.exeand again this doesn't look right (the 1.inf file is all about Windows). I have not tried running this because it is not 'update.zip' and I'm afraid it will install Windows instead. . I need the file update.zip. Can someone please tell me where to find it? Or any other way of unbricking an Iconia A500.

    Hello Ironfly. Thank you for your comment. I have tried a factory reset, if you mean that game with the volume button. If I hold down Volume-  and press power on I get the Acer logo for ever and if I hold down Volume+ I get the dead Android. You say that to get the file update.zip I should click on the OS tab  but where is this? Do you mean in the Drivers and Manuals page? I did that and selected Honeycomb 3.2 which was the OS installed on the tablet when new. I should be delighted to hear any other ideas about how to get a file update.zip and not some Windows substitute.

  • Acer Iconia Tab 10 A3-A20FHD-K8KK

    The tablet is frozen on the Language selection screen and won't go any further.  The screen is unresponsive.  I've done the reboot to wipe and reinstall to factory settings as well as "reboot system now" by holding the power and volume buttons.  None of it works, it simply returns to the language selection screen with an unresponsive screen.  The tablet is only 3 months old.

    Acer wants me to send into their service center in Temple Texas for service.  I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this issue with an Acer Android Iconia Model similar to this.  Looking forward to comments or information relative to this issue.

  • Acer Iconia Tab - touch screen glitch?!

    A couple years ago, my husband bought me a tablet for valentines. It worked great for a couple of months, then the touch screen started glitching. I could press an icon on one side of the screen and the tablet registers it on the complete opposite side. I've dug it out again in hopes of fixing it, but so far, nothing has changed. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

    I believe there was a firmware update that fixes these issues as this was an issue on the w500's I know. If you go to Acers website and go to support. You should be able to choose tablets/your model and do a full update to correct this issue.

  • Acer iconia tab 8 w1-810 touch screen playing up

    hii am new to here and to tablets. i was trying to get the screen to stay on longer, didnt manage it because the pc settings said it was longer. anyway, i think i callibrated the screen really wish i hadnt because now the touchscreen stopped working properly i couldnt even reset the tablet.it ended up getting switched off and now it wont let me put the password in.#does anyone know how i can fix it. i got it from the 3 shop 2 weeks ago so am thinking it still in guarantee.  

    The easiest fix for a screwed up screen calibration is to plug a USB mouse in and reset the calibration. That requires one of the microUSB to USB adapters though. If you don't have one see if you can borrow one to get it dealt with. In the long term you're probably going to want one of the adapters so you can plug something like a thumb drive in anyway...

  • Nokia 6120 Classic USB Modem is not working proper...

    Hello everybody!
    Something strange happened last week with my Nokia 6120 Classic (version: 03.83). I regularly use it as a USB modem and last week's Wednesday it stopped working. What the problem really is due to, is hard for me to say precisely.
    Using Windows Vista (Business, x64, SP1) "Connect to" function, I have previously connected to using HSDPA, but after last week the following happens:
    Starts with "Dialing" then goes to showing status "Verifying user name and password" for less than a second after which Vista informs that "Failed to connect to..." and the phone shows the 3G symbol with dashed arrows below.
    I've tried the following:
    - reinstalling PC Suite (the latest, greatest version)
    - reinstalling the modem drivers (between Nokia USB modem and 6120 USB modem) using the whole reboot thing
    - using another USB port, which doesn't work since Device Manager reports that the driver can't start properly
    - restarting, cold resetting the phone
    - switching to GSM only
    - testing with another computer running SP1
    - removing modem init commands for the Internet connection
    Now, the strange thing with the second computer was that everything worked just fine with it. My computer on the other hand didn't work at all!
    I've put the modem communication logs from the working computer here:
    http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=ah8pw9pjrf55_12g38wqpdt
    And the modem communication logs from my non-working computer here:
    http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=ah8pw9pjrf55_11hjcq39g4
    What was interesting on my computer is the "NO CARRIER" line which makes no sense to me: why on earth is it starting to check for a carrier signal all of the sudden??
    Any tips with this here dilemma would be greatly appreciated.
    Message Edited by manywhere on 18-Feb-2008 09:47 AM

    I tried using a Nokia E90 and connecting to the net using both PC Suite's "Connect to the Internet" and using Windows´ "Connect to" programs. With the E90, I had the same problems: fails at "Verifying user name and password" and the strange looking modem communications log.
    What the heck is going on with my Windows installation here? I tried removing the drivers again, repairing PC suite and restarting the computer, but to no avail.

  • Huawei e17 USB modem

    Hi,
    I have one annoying trouble with my huawei e17 USB modem (connected to MacBook Pro):
    • Internet connection works fine when I log in but once I log out and my wife log's in the internet connection just hangs...tries to connect but hangs. Only solution what I have found for this is to remove huawei e17 USB modem and put it back again.
    Any idea how this experience when switching between users could be done smoother (no need to remove huawei e17 USB modem all the time)??
    Thanks,
    Jorma

    Hi Defcom,
    Thanks for the info.
    It was my understanding that the E220 USB Modem automatically installs the correct mac software.
    System requirements listed on the box, Windows 2000/XP/Vista or Mac OS X
    I'm expecting delivery of the iMac middle of next week, so I'll soon find out!
    Meanwhile, I'm now getting maximum signal stength on all my Mobile Phones and the USB Modem.
