Using a Dongle with android tablet

    Hi guys,

    I got this tablet http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056859003

    and I'm trying to connect a Meteor E180 dongle but I cant get it working at all.

    I have connected the dongle from a mains powered usb hub to the tablet, but cant get it to 'search networks, manual or automatically, (I have data enabled ticked.)

    Even stranger:

    When I connect the dongle directly to the fully charged tablet, there is no sign of life in the dongle, not even a green lite, zilch.


    Do I need to configure something first.

    I got this working last night on my N7 by connecting it to my N900 which acts like a usb dongle.

    I downloaded PPP Widget and set my access point to data.mymeteor.ie in the "configure" menu.

    Is your tablet able to read usb memory sticks or harddrives?
