Tablet computers, which are becoming increasingly popular among mobile and other devices, are primarily created by development companies to satisfy the user’s need for web surfing. Naturally, in addition to this, they have a large number of capabilities, are able to satisfy the most diverse desires of their owners in the field of games and entertainment, and can perform the functions of many other mobile gadgets, such as phones, navigators, and media players. You can set up the Internet on a tablet in different ways, but users are often interested in the question: how to set up a tablet to access the Internet via a SIM card?
This type of connection, compared to others, is considered the most difficult and complex, but, nevertheless, is popular among Internet surfers. Regarding options such as setting up the Internet using Wi-Fi or using 3G modems, this method has both advantages and disadvantages. And also not the least role in this matter is played by the telecom operator chosen by the owner of the device.
Using a SIM card in a tablet
Eliminating poor signal levels
Users often encounter unexpected problems with Lenovo. One of them is poor Wi-Fi performance. Due to a weak connection, Lenovo Wi-Fi is poorly received. Many people think that this is due to the fault of Internet providers, but in fact this is not always the case. There are many reasons in the device itself that inhibit transmission.
Reasons affecting the slow Internet speed of the Lenovo A5000 smartphone operating according to the GSM 900/1800/1900, 3G standard:
- System failure. Reboot your phone and reconnect to the Wi-Fi network to get maximum internet speed.
- Before turning on 3G on Lenovo, update the browser and operating system of the phone to the latest versions.
- Make sure that there are no conflicts between the wireless router, as this can lead to slower internet speeds on the phone.
- Check background running applications that use the Internet connection and close unnecessary ones.
- Check if connections are being used with DNS settings. If not, you can change these settings on your device.
- Clear browsing history, cache, cookies and other unwanted browser information in a timely manner to get the required speed or switch to others.

3G/4G settings for a Lenovo smartphone or tablet
4G Internet is one of the modern standards for Internet access. The service is offered by most cellular operators, however due to its recent introduction into the mobile environment, it is not yet widely available as not all phones allow it.
Typically, the mobile data connection (3G/4G) works as soon as the user inserts the SIM card into the phone.
Important! You need to keep in mind that in Lenovo 2010, Internet setup is performed on the condition that the device can only connect to one high-speed network (3G/4G), so if two SIM cards are used, install a 4G SIM card: Settings > Advanced > Cellular networks > Preferred networks.
Algorithm for obtaining configuration data:
- Before connecting to the Internet on Lenovo, go to the provider’s website and search for “mobile Internet settings.”
- Find a page with a list of settings for mobile connections: APN (access point name), Proxy, port, MCC (mobile country code), MNC (mobile network code), verification type and others. All you have to do is make sure that the values specified by the provider match the data on the phone.
- Go to: System settings > Advanced > Mobile networks > Access point names.
- Click the “Settings” button, select “New APN” and fill in all fields with the information received from the provider.
How to reset settings remotely
If the user does not have physical access to the Lenovo cell phone (for example, due to its loss or theft), then you can try to get rid of all data and perform a forced Hard Reset to factory reset, via the Internet (Wi-Fi, 3G, LTE). To implement your plan, on your personal computer you need to go to the Android device manager website and go through the authorization procedure through your Google account.

The site will try to find the location of the device. In this case, the user can select either “Call” or “Delete data”. By choosing the second option, you will be able to delete personal data from the gadget’s internal memory.
The process may not start immediately, but only when the device appears on the Internet.
Making a backup
A lot of information has been written on how to reset a Lenovo phone. However, it may not always be correct due to operating system updates and user changes to settings.
Before you decide to completely update Android, you need to know that after the operation is completed, all user data from the device’s memory, even contacts, will be lost. That is why you should save all important numbers in a notebook or copy them to an SD card.
You can return the device to factory settings through the “Settings” or “Settings” menu, using the corresponding button on the smartphone panel, as well as the standard boot function – Recovery. These methods are suitable for all models, including a319 and a1000.
Before starting recovery, it is advisable to make backup copies to the cloud, not only of contact information, but also of other important information.
Possible connection problems
It's not always the service provider's fault when 4G mobile broadband speeds aren't as good as before. Before shifting the blame to the provider, experts advise taking some preventive troubleshooting steps:
- Set up your phone to take advantage of 4G speeds: Phone settings -> Mobile networks -> preferred network type. To get modern speeds, consumers must switch to 4G.
- You need to reset your phone's access point network (APN) settings to default so that it uses the correct information to connect to your carrier's wireless network: Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Access Points. Next, click the menu icon at the top of the page and select “Reset to default settings.”
- Each operator requires APN information to determine the user's IP address and connect the phone to the correct Internet gateway.
- The quality of broadband speed largely depends on the quality of the antenna used in the phone. One of the reasons why the Internet does not work on Lenovo may be weak antennas.
- Many mobile plans come with a data cap, after which the internet speed automatically switches to a slower internet speed.
Note! Internet speed on a mobile phone is often slowed down by resource-intensive social media apps such as Facebook and Twitter. Using them can result in significant data consumption due to their tendency to automatically play videos and constantly update messages, which is something to consider before switching to Lenovo's 3G network.
Lenovo smartphones and tablets provide easy access to a variety of online content, including email, social networks, blogs and websites. To make the most of the wide range of internet applications available online, you will need to connect your device to 3G/4G. The correct settings on your phone will allow you to browse the web at much faster speeds, while reducing data usage and therefore communication costs.

What are the differences between 3G and 4G networks: features, advantages and disadvantages
3G Internet access refers to the third generation of wireless technology, following the two previous generations known as 1G (1980s) and 2G, which was created in the 1990s.
3G connection is traditional for all Lenovo devices, for example, for the small Lenovo s850 phone with a screen diagonal of only 4″ and a resolution of 800x480. The device has the ability to work with two SIM slots in the GSM and 3G range.
Enabling Android 3G connection is useful for using the internet when Wi-Fi network is not available. However, depending on the operator and data plan, this can be expensive. To avoid unnecessary payments, perform Internet settings on the Android Lenovo s850; the motive is to save money on communication services.
- Open the phone settings, and then click “Data Usage”;
- To enable/disable 3G, use the “Mobile data” option.
If the user's plan has a monthly data limit, turn on "Set cellular data limit" and click "OK."
To save money, you can move the screen to the App Usage section to see which apps are consuming more 3G.

If your Lenovo tablet or phone is buggy, won’t turn on, or refuses to open any applications, then before taking the gadget to a service center, you can try to restore its functionality yourself. To do this, use a factory reset or hard reset. On Android devices there are several ways: using the settings menu (if the device starts) and using a special Recovery menu.
Before restoring factory settings, you need to save all files on another medium. It is worth removing the microSD card and SIM card to save the phone book. Backing up your contacts is very easy. To do this, you need to insert a SIM card into another Lenovo phone (or any other) and use applications to create a copy of the contact database.
