Help wanted with 3g dongle

[kaybee327]

Hi Folks

Recently purchased an Huawei E3131 mobile broadband dongle which is supposed to be compatible with an Aushuo A816.

Mine does not work

Couple of problems.

1. when I go to settings.wireless and network settings , mobile networks have ticked Data enabled and data roaming. when I click on network operators and search for networks i get " error while searching for networks "

2. when in access point names I have one item " O2 UK " and if I try to enter say " Tmobile UK " and save it does not appear in list even after a restart.

So I am completely lost. Needless to say it works fine on PC and network coverage on andorid phone gives me 4 bars and -91db coverage so should connect OK

Any suggestions / advice welcome.

On your PC does it connect to 02 or T-Mobile? I have a link below regarding communications using a dongle and there may be something there to help.
