in the right hand corner on the home screen there is an exclamation icon click on that after you have tethered your tablet and there will be in the notification area a place to mount or unmount your sd cards hope this helps

get vplayer alpha as Rockplayer will not recognize the external sd card

Thanks for your suggestion. No luck. Even voice is not working. I even echanged the device thinking maybe the radio was bad, but still no luck. Can't beleive I would have 2 faulty devices. Any other suggestions?

Try a different BB store stock and maybe you won't have that issue?

Well that was exactly what I did. Same city though. So I take it that folks have got AT&T 3G to work. When I check the status in about tablet it identifies everything, like my phone number, the netwrok type etc. but has a disconnected ststus. I will keep looking.

Thanks

I'll go check it out myself. What type of CPU is in this puppy?

Snapdragon QSD 8250 @ 768
You can root it with Androot and overclock it. Should be capable of 1ghz. I have tried it over 800mhz without problems.

Xaueious,

I purchased the S7 yesterday from Best Buy for $299. and was really jazzed over all of the capabilities for the price.
I struggled all day with A T & T and Huawei Tech. support to get 3G working but the phone worked OK.
The Best Buy and A T & T stores were of no help. Huawei led me to the APN setting problem.
A T & T gave me the wrong settings.
Yours works great!
I was getting ready to throw unit accross the room.
Thanks for the help!
I will pass this along.

What app did you use to overclock your tablet? And what settings do you have it overclocked at? Thanks

Glad you got it going. I am still struggling with it. So how did you get the APN to stick. I hit save and it just goes back to the APN screen and doesn't seem to add anything. I got it tethered to my phone but would love to get the SIM working right on the device.

 

[shanksv]

OK I now at least got the APN to stick after a complete reset. Still no voice or data. I might drive down to another city and get it from another BB. Really like everything about this device.

 

[shanksv]

Thanks to all for their suggestions. I did go and exchange it one more time from another store 45 miles away. Everything works now! As they say "third time is the charm"

Way to go shanksv. Glad it is working.

I tried my T-Mo sim card but nothing. I didn't play with any other settings so I will wait till I can find something about their settings or go exchange it like you did.

I am really liking it for what I want to do except now I have to learn about encoding dvd's and that seems to be all over the map. Using handbrake now and it seems to be working but looks like it will take a really long time to it.

am told that TMobile 2G works on this;

I put in the sim card out of tmobile g2 and it worked great. I had no issues at all.

I have been using the overclock widget from the market place. I cannot get it to stick above 768 though. I got it to show 800 but it won't stay. I also tried setCPU but you need a text file created for it to overclock I have not figured out how do that yet.
