HUAWEI E153

[Guest León]

Maybe I am asking on the wrong forum, but I find time and time again a post where you plug the USB Dongle, go to accounts,add account,choose google, then press back button till you get wireless settings, then 3g service enable-check- as well as data enabled.

so far so good

then I press network operators and on search networks I get "error while searching for networks"

I´m using a Huawei E153 USB dongle, the SIM has data acess, but can´t get pass this...

I have seen references to stop cd automount, but I am not used to play with consoles and scripts often, and don´t even know where to start.

I have the led on my usb dongle flashing green.

Any help wpuld be great

Regards

Leon

Thanks for the response, I had already checked it, sometimes the post get a little technical, the one I was trying to follow was this one.

Right now I am stuck right in the middle of this one, in 5g following the list provided on the post I pasted. Cannot get past this since I receive an error

Device(s): Advent Vega +r7 ROM

I have a working, surfing conection via an Huawei E220 3G dongle on my Vega.

Details:

1. Installed theMoDaCo Custom ROM for the Advent Vega r7

2. Enabled USB Host Mode (USB Mode --> USB Host (required reboot)

3. Inserted the Huawei E220 USB Dongle (mine was a t-mobile PAYG dongle)

4. If USB Host Mode is enabled, the dongle will flash green, then blue

*Interesting bit*:

5a. Go to Settings --> Accounts & Sync --> Add Account

5b. Select 'Google'

5b. Hold down the back button (the physical button) for 2-5 seconds until a 'Wireless Settings' icon appears at the bottom of the screen

5c. Select 'Wireless Settings'

5d. Select '3G Service enabled'

5e. Select 'Data enabled'

5f. Select 'Network Operators' ... You may need to wait 10-30 seconds as the Vega configures itself to read the USB dongle, makes a connection and identifies what providers are available... the light on my USB Dongle went solid blue at this point (if I recall correctly)

5g. Choose your network operator

5h. The Vega notification bar will change to show a "3G" icon, which is animated to show upload/download action; and a signal strenth icon.

6. Ensure WiFi is off and surf to a website... In my case, I got the t-mobile top-up page, which showed me my dongle's phone number and the fact that I had no further credit on my account.

When you unplug the dongle, the notification bar will change to a red triable for 'No Service: Selected network unavailable).

At this point I don't know whether this is chewing my battery or not when not connected.. as the "No Service" notification does not go away, even though I've disabled '3G Service'.

This is my first post here, so if I've posted in the wrong please, let me know and I'll happily move it.

Cheers,

BB.

Was able to disable the cd rom autostart by sending a AT commands string to the modem, now i can dial (no audio), receive calls (still no audio so useless), but never got to see the3G simbol or connect to the internet, any ideas?

Are you sure you are in HOST mode, what colour is the 3G key showing/flashing and have you got a good 3G network signal where you are ?
