Guest shadamehr Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 PS Long time no see Shadamehr... <_< P NEVER away Paul - Modaco is still one of my default homepage startup tabs in Firefox - I just tend not to have so much to post about nowadays, long being gone from WM, being a Symbian man nowadays, I hate to admit *lol*. And thanks again for all this useful info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Haha! Wasn't a fan of the E90 myself (if that's still your current squeeze as per your sig?) If you're on the E71 as per your devices tag, that's a pretty nice bit of kit (even if I still hate the mail UI with a passion!) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shadamehr Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) Haha! Wasn't a fan of the E90 myself (if that's still your current squeeze as per your sig?) If you're on the E71 as per your devices tag, that's a pretty nice bit of kit (even if I still hate the mail UI with a passion!) P Funny you should mention that - I am trying to update signature as we speak, but it keeps telling me it's now TOO LONG, with my phonography being what it is. Yes, the E71 is my main phone, however, coupled with the N82 for photos, and then Bluetoothed across. A low tech TWO device solution alas, until Nokia finally bring something out to better the N82 (I rely on Xenon flash). Apologies for me going O/T too Paul. EDIT TO ADD: I use the Nokia Messaging Application - the downloadable add on HTML version, for my Email now... as the standard phone Mail interface is indeed naff, and java Gmail for Apps is still not ideal.

Guest Dave Smith Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hi all, When i try to connect with my shiny new usb dongle <_< i get the following message - "The connect attempt failed. Please make sure your settings are correct." Now i havent yet put any credit onto the accout, so im wondering if this is the issue. However when i use another 3 sim card that does have credit i get the same message. Any ideas? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dave Smith Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) Hi paul, yes it does. Shows a couple of bars and 3 network id. It does however recieve text messages. Dave EDIT: Ive figured it out, i disabled the telephony service... which it needs <_< ive reenabled it and its working fine now. Thanks though.

Guest pjam001 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) With regards to the 'fiver internet' bundle... IIRC you can queue at least one (maybe more) up... you see listed as starting when your current one expires. Neat... :) HTH B) P Now that is very handy. If only my home coverage was a little better. <_< Tried at work today and even with just 2 bars the speed was great. I've read that the MF627 isn't compatible with the D100 router. :D Edited May 21, 2009 by pjam001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NikLP Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Blugh, getting two bars and 33k/s. Not great. Never mind. Got the fiver/month jobby - anyone know what the ACTUAL data cap is? Also, anyone know where I can download the updated software from? The first thing that happened when I connected was it spent 15 minutes very slowly downloading some update software. I'd rather not have to do that every time I use it on a new machine! <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NikLP Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) I can't get mine to install on my Eee 901 :) My regular laptop is running XP SP3, but the Eee is stuck on SP2 until I can get a bigger/faster SSD. I have a problem where the driver installation fails - it says: "There was a problem installing the hardware. An error occurred.... The required section was not found in the INF" EDIT: Ok this is because I NLited my XP installation and for whatever reason the DUN (Dial up networking) drivers are not available, hence the INF error. I'm looking at a complete reinstallation to get past that one. If you don't fancy that, you can try this, but it didn't work for me, presumably for similar reasons to the above. http://help.expedient.com/dialup/winxp-reinstall-dun.shtml Also, you're going to have *fun* getting this to work on Ubuntu (I am specifically using Jaunty). The ZTE modems aren't supported out of the box with that OS. Try the link below. I've gotten the modem recognised ok. Sometimes two instances of the modem appear in the network manager, sometimes one. One time, it even connected! I have no idea why, as I can't replicate it. <_< Refer to the link here to get started. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1017630 I also can't pinpoint what the settings are supposed to be. Is the APN supposed to the 3services? 3internet? three.co.uk? what, man, what? EDIT: Well... it still doesn't work, but there are some defaults supplied by the "new connection" wizard in ubuntu. One can only assume these are the correct ones, but... who knows... Edited May 23, 2009 by NikLP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest M1DUL Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 I would also like to here if there is better Connection Manager software! at the moment I am using Telstra Turbo Connection Manager is that the one you are using deadphill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tsutton Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Thanks MS!! Took me 18 mins 12 secs to do the upgrade. <_< But man how ugly the unbranded software is?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Shuflie Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Could someone send me the upgrade instructions, the link in the article just takes me through to a Globe.com homepage. @Paul, are you saying that you just plug the modem in with the update firmware and it installs the 3Connect software on OSX? How do you get the T-Mobile settings entered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
