Add mobile broadband profile using netsh gives "Invalid Profile XML" error

We're trying to create an automated installation to upgrade to 8.1 Pro soon and since we have our own APN at our provider, we'd like to add this using a script. However when I try to add my XML profile using
netsh mbn add profile interface="Mobile broadband" name="profile.xml"
I receive the following error: Add Profile Failure: Invalid Profile XML.
I've found some Windows 7 topics regarding this issue, pointing at the encoded Subscriber and ICC id's in these XML files. I have already found the unencoded values with
netsh mbn show ready * and added them to the XML file, but still no dice :-(
This is my XML file:
<?xml version="1.0"?><MBNProfile xmlns="http://www.microsoft.com/networking/WWAN/profile/v1">
<Name>My Company Name</Name>
<IsDefault>true</IsDefault>
<ProfileCreationType>UserProvisioned</ProfileCreationType>

</Context>
<DisplayProviderName xmlns="http://www.microsoft.com/networking/WWAN/profile/v2">My Company Name</DisplayProviderName>
</MBNProfile>
I've removed all existing mobile broadband profiles from the system, netsh mbn show profiles
shows an empty list so it's not a naming issue. I tried removing the XML version header from the file (a lot of examples of these XML files don't have it), leaving the Subscriber and/or ICC ID empty, removed them from the XML file but nothing seems to
work.
Does anyone have some other suggestions?

Hi,
I'm sorry for have no idea with your problem. Since those methods you tried but failed, in my opinion, it would be better to use Process Monitor to capture the trace of excuting this XML file.
Start Process Monitor, close as much unrelated process as possible, then run command to enable this XML file.
After error occures, stop capture.

Receive: "Add Profile Failure: Invalid Profile XML" error when adding WWAN profile - Windows 7

I'm trying to import below XML profile to Windows 7 machine and no matter what profile i use (even the one it was on that computer originally it gives me an error.
Command:
netsh mbn add profile interface="Mobile Broadband Connection" name="test.xml"
test.xml is in c:\temp folder.

Tried these steps:
- configured the setting using UI and test connection - it worked.
- copied that profile from path: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\WwanSvc\Profiles to
c:\temp and renamed it to test.xml
- closed the connection and run command: netsh mbn delete profile interface="Mobile Broadband Connection" name=TestProfile
- and then tried to add the profile under changed name (no profile changes made): netsh mbn add profile interface="Mobile Broadband Connection" name="test.xml"
- received very nice message: Add Profile Failure: Invalid Profile XML
I'm stuck, help?

Hey,
Got an answer. It required some debugging, but I end up finding it.
When you add that profile, system executes a function which compares Subscription ID tag with the one it has in system already. If one is already there then overwrites the profile, if NULL adds the profile. Problem is, as soon as any of
the profiles are configured manually to redistribute later, the Subscription ID tag is encoded. And window doesn't know how to decode it, so it fires an error.
The Subscription tag is an IMSI number, when you right click it on your connection and go to properties, you will see it there, 15 digits. Copy it and paste it to the XML file replacing encoded number.
It works as a charm.
I leave deployment methods to you... :)
Not so happy to answer my own question, but what a heck... glad to help even one person :)

Portege R830 - Forcing mobile broadband to use 3G/HSDPA with Win 8

Greetings all,
Upgraded my Portege R830 to Windows 8 with no problem.
Since most of the Wireless Manager functionality has been moved into Windows, I can't find where I can 'force' the connection to 3G/HSDPA.
I live in an area where the signal is marginal and if I leave the network settings as default, it frequently switches to the stronger EDGE connection. With Wireless Manager, I connected using only 3G/HSDPA where 2 bars were sufficient for daily tasks.
Any light bulb moments? (Moving is unfortunately not an option ... ;) )

Hmm I think such setting isnt available in Win 8.
Microsoft provides a nice article about the broadband configuration using Win 8 and the mentioned configuration isnt there:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/mobile-broadband-from-start-to-finish
So from my understanding the best broadband signal will be chosen and used if its available.,

Download Helper, even with paid converter upgrade, gives "Invalid Capture File" errors and will not record audio, with "File Creation Error - Unable to rename/copy audio file" Error.

Download Helper Screen Capture worked to capture video if the default "no audio" option is active. But, no audio. The "speakers" or "microphone" audio options are confusing....the audio to be captured is from the video, so what do you choose? With either "speakers" or "microphone" selected, the captured file has poor audio and no video. Re-capture efforts (speakers) get "Invalid capture file error" and "File Creation error- Unable to rename/copy audio file"
The paid upgrade of "Converter" doesn't work.
Instructive documentation - not very good.
Suggestions - Need time delay between initiation of "Record" and starting the video to be recorded.
Could use timer tracking of the record process.
Are there operating system limitations? (Have Windows XP Pro)

That is an issue for the developer of that Download Helper.

Delphi 3 or Delphi XE gives Invalid class string error

I have Delphi 3 and a runtime error occurs when I RUN this project. No build errors...
The form appears correctly and I put the path to the GroupWise domain directory :
F:\opt\novell\groupwise\mail\dom1
I click on the CONNECT button and the error is :
"Project admin_api.exe raised an exception class EOleSysError with message 'Invalid class string'. Process stopped. Use Step or Run to Continue"
For Delphi XE the error is only "Invalid class string".
What am I doing wrong ?
Thank You

gw client installed? Novell client installed?

Flash is complaining about XML? Im using AS3 why are there XML errors? Unknown syntax errors.

Sorry to keep spamming these forums with my stupid errors, but I am trying really hard to learn Flash/AS3 and when I have got to grips with it, I will return the love.
I am a flash rookie trying to make a simple calculation device and I am getting a whole world of errors I have never seen before.
My Code (I apologise but it may be my bad syntax):
import flash.ui.Mouse;
var Hnum:String;
var PCnum:String;
var calc:Number = 25;
var Total:Number;
num1.restrict = "0-9";
num2.restrict = "0-9";
Est_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, calculate);
function PartCount(event:MouseEvent):void{
    PCnum = num2.text;
    if (PCnum > 0 && < 10){
        parseInt(PCnum) * 10;
    or if (PCnum > 11 && < 20){
        parseInt(PCnum) * 5;
    or if (PCnum > 21){
        parseInt(PCnum) * 1;
Est_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, calculate);
function calculate(event:MouseEvent):void{
    Hnum = num1.text;
    PCnum = num2.text;
    Total = parseInt(Hnum) * calc + parseInt(PCnum);
    Total.toString();
    Total_txt.text = String(Total);
I had everything working when I was only calculating Hnum by 25. But when I try to intergrate the if or statement everything goes wrong and I get these 5 errors.
Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 1, Line 15
1104: invalid xml name

Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 1
1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before end of program.
Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 1
1084: Syntax error: expecting rightbrace before end of program.
I dont understand what these errors are pointing out? Why XML? is it my variable names?
Here is the code I had before the second function that worked fine:
var Hnum:String;
var PCnum:String;
var calc:Number = 25;
var Total:Number;
num1.restrict = "0-9";
num2.restrict = "0-9";
Est_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, calculate);
function calculate(event:MouseEvent):void{
     Hnum = num1.text;
     PCnum = num2.text;
     Total = parseInt(Hnum) * calc;
     Total.toString();
     Total_txt.text = String(Total);
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I will get the hang of this!
MrB

Thanks guys you were right it was parse problem with the var type.
I have changed the code adding parseInt where necessary.
I have also added the other functions. But now after it was working fine with just the one function it is doing the strangest thing.
There are no errors, it is running fine but it is outputting the letter "a" instead of any numbers? Is this something to do with the strings? It is most odd.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the new code:
import flash.ui.Mouse;
var Hnum:String;
var PCnum:String;
var PCcalc:Number;
var Pmath:Number;
var calc:Number = 25;
var Total:Number;
num1.restrict = "0-9";
num2.restrict = "0-9";
Est_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, calculate);
function PartCount(event:MouseEvent):void{
    if (parseInt(PCnum) > 0 && parseInt(PCnum)< 10){
        PCcalc == 1;
    if (parseInt(PCnum) > 11 && parseInt(PCnum)< 20){
        PCcalc == 2;
    if (parseInt(PCnum) > 21 && parseInt(PCnum)<200){
        PCcalc == 3;
Est_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, calculate);
function PartCalc(event:MouseEvent):void{
    if (PCcalc == 1){
        Pmath * 10;
    if (PCcalc == 2){
        Pmath * 5;
    if (PCcalc == 3){
        Pmath * 1;
Est_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, calculate);
function calculate(event:MouseEvent):void{
    Hnum = num1.text;
    PCnum = num2.text;
    Total = parseInt(Hnum) * calc + Pmath;
    Total.toString();
    Total_txt.text = String(Total);
Thanks

BT Mobile Broadband no more bundles

Worth a punt on here as had a circular discussion with advisor on the phone (very nice about it, but not going anywhere).
Got BT mobile broadband when I signed up to my current home BB package, worked great. Not been away from home for a while, so not used it for a while. Came to use it this month and it's not working. Check online and my bill and notice no bundle has been added.
Advisor told me that the 'free' bundles where only for 18 months (I'm on an 18 month package apparently). Not quite explained to me that way when I signed up, but let's roll with it. My view is this is part of my package, after all I'm still paying the same amount, my home BB still works the same, what does it matter if I've gone over the 'magic' 18 month mark?
If that's the way it is, then fine. But something BT may want to review as, in my case at least, I've gone from a customer quite content to sit and pay my bill to BT monthly. Happy with the package I've got. To someone who's off to look at the BB comparison websites with an eye to move to another provide if there are better deals (which let's face it, there probably are).

Hi PepJr.
There are better deals, and if as you say your 18month contract is up, now is the time to get one of the better deals.
Sit down, decide what you want , lower payments/free months/new hub/mobile broadband etc etc, then Give them a call and renegotiate a new contract.
You might not get all you want, be polite but firm and you might come away with a good deal.
BT are no different to any other company, your a sitting customer. The deals go to new customers and to out of contract customers.

Hauwei E156B Mobile Broadband USB Driver/Installation File

Hello folks,
I just recently purchase a USB Keyfob for Mobile Broadband. The model number is E156B and it is manufactured by Huawei. I have search up and down Huawei's support forms and downloading multiple software bundles to no avail. I don't think Huawei even supports Mac OSX 106. Snow Leopard. In any case, I figure I would try one last time here to see if someone has successfully configured the E156B through "Tigo" with OS 10.6.2

I used a Huawei E169 Mobile Broadband Modem using a generic 3G Modem setup under Mac OS X 10.6.3.
This is how I set up the modem:
Open System Preferences window (from Apple menu)
Open the Network Preference Pane.
Select the Huawei xxx Modem item from the list of network connections (there were two more Huawei items)
Click on "Advanced" settings.
Select "Generic" as Modem Manufacturer.
Select the 3G Modem type.
enter the provider specific dial number (*99# in my case)
enter the provider specific ID and password (left blank in my case)
enter provider specific APN (in my case "Internet")
you need to check your providers specific settings for the above!
Click on OK button.
Activate Network setting
Choose to select modem in menue bar
Close System Preferences Window...
To connect, go to the menu bar, click on the handset icon and choose to connect.
After use, disconnect as above (depending on your contract, time charges might apply)
Good Luck

Which version are you using? I believe that adding regions started from CU2. Confirm this.
Did you set the profle FND:OA Enable Defaults? This may not be the cause for your error but I got some LOV map errors because of this. There is a thread in the forum on this.
Ensure that your path and spelling are correct. The error shows ...CostPG. Should it be ...RN perhaps? LOV Regions are usually called RN.
If all else fails open a tar.

Case Decode - invalid column name error

select Workweek, max( decode( Type, T34, prct, null ) ) Bad,
                    max( decode( Type, T35, prct, null ) ) Repair,
                    max( decode( Type, T36, prct, null ) ) Good
FROM
(select Workweek, Type, round(ratio_to_report(sum(Testtime_in_Minutes)) over(partition by Workweek)*100,3) prct
FROM
(select ts.lot as Lot, ts.wafer_id as Wafer, dt.SORT_X as X, dt.SORT_Y as Y, ts.devrevstep as PRODUCT, ts.operation as OPERATION, dt.INTERFACE_BIN as INTERFACE_BIN, (dt.TEST_TIME)/60.0 as Testtime_in_Minutes,
ts.TEST_END_DATE_TIME as Test_End_Time, ts.Program_Name, ts.test_end_work_week as Workweek,

     ELSE 'T36'
     END ) Type
from a_testing_session ts, a_device_testing dt
where ts.test_end_work_week >= 200715
and (ts.devrevstep like '9600%')
and dt.lao_start_ww = ts.test_end_work_week
and dt.ts_id = ts.ts_id)
GROUP BY Workweek, Type)
This sql query above does not run properly, gives invalid column name error. However, the entire select statement surrounded by the () works. There must be an error in the first 4 lines someplace, but I do not see it.

Assuming type is a string, I assume you meant
MAX( DECODE( type, 'T34', prct, NULL )) Badwhere T34 is a string literal. Otherwise, you'd need to have columns named T34, T35, and T36 in your inner select.
One note, though, it's probably a bad idea to have a column named Type. While it's legal to do so, TYPE is a keyword in SQL, so that name will at a minimum be confusing.

Network Manager: Problem using Mobile Broadband

Hello,
I'm trying to use NetworkManager to configure an Internet connection using a 3G modem USB dongle.
I have a Huawei E160 on O2.
Steps taken so far:
* Installed NetworkManager using the ArchWiki article:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager
* nm-applet would not start, and the error on the virtual terminal matched that in the troubleshooting section of that article. I backed up and changed those 2 files. I don't know much about PolicyKit but nm-applet started and was able to connect to a WiFi network.
* I tried connecting to O2: the device was detected but on attempting to connect, the nm-applet connecting icon froze or stuttered (as in the animation was about 0.2fps).
* Errors on the tty indicated that nm was looking for files that did not exist. After searching I found a package 'mobile-broadband-provider-info' on LaunchPad which is included in Ubuntu. I found it in the AUR and installed it.
* Tried again, same behaviour of the icon, but this time errors on the tty resembled the errors that occured when nm-applet would not start.
I'm guessing the problem is with the PolicyKit configuration in the 2 files:
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-applet.conf
If we can put together a general solution to 3G modems (rather than my specific problem), I will be willing to help out with the relevant wiki articles (probably after my exams).
Thank you very much for your help,
James Haigh.

Hooray! It's working!
I booted into Arch to run nm-applet from the terminal emulator to collect the exact error message to post, but then I noticed the mast icon!
I couldn't figure out why this now worked but I wondered if Ubuntu had sort of initialised the modem somehow (when I started this thread using the LiveCD, that was the first time I'd got it to work).
I don't think it was the restart because I'm pretty sure I restarted after installing mobile-broadband-provider-info.
So I started to read the new replies. I thought I'd set pacman to download (and install) arch-wiki-docs while I write a reply. My USB wireless mouse stuttered and stopped working. I tried replugging it, syncing it, wouldn't work. The download which was going at about 20KB/s (I thought this was due to bad reception; my O2 phone gets 1 or 2 notches here at college), stuttered and spewed out errors.
My tablet PC annoyingly has only 2 USB ports and no CD drive. So to use a LiveCD, keyboard and dongle I had to use a hub. I left the hub in when I booted Arch, and unplugging it fixed my mouse and dongle. The download went about 100KB/s!
But I wasn't using the hub before I used the LiveCD. I was just using the keyboard and dongle, and a great Firefox add-on called LoL, which makes browsing with no mouse easier.
(If interested, this list including LoL is useful:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo … n/keyboard )
So the initial problem is at least 1 of these:
* Bad reception
* Ubuntu initialised the modem but my installation/configuration of Arch could not
* I forgot to restart if/when it mattered
And the 2nd problem was the hub.
These weren't problems:
* ConsoleKit configuration
* Settings
I tried to understand those 2 files using GVim's diff with the backups and I couldn't see anything to try, so I left them unchanged.
My settings are in the manual for the dongle. They're not in mobile-broadband-provider-info so I will file a bug to make it easier for Ubuntu users etc. Looking at /usr/share/mobile-broadband-provider-info/serviceproviders.xml I made this:
<apn value="m-bb.o2.co.uk">
<name>Pay & Go</name>
<username>o2bb</username>
<password>password</password>
</apn>
The manual also says that:
* Tel no: *99# (which appears to be default and is never specified in serviceproviders.xml)
* Authentication: PAP (Also not specified, the default of try all methods works for me)
I could add a mobile broadband subsection to the troubleshooting section of the wiki article:
* Check signal
* Check USB
And add relevant links on articles like 'USB_3G_Modem' etc.

I like pacman and I like the way upgrading my system is my responsibility but that shouldn't have happened without a message. I'll be aware of things like this now, thanks.

* build and install.
Also, command line configuration of connections might not be very practical at college; if something goes wrong I won't be able to access the ArchWiki, Google or other help. Although it might be worth a try.
Yeah that sounds about right (except you don't need to modify the PKGBUILD, just place the downloaded files in the same folder as the PKGBUILD and run makepkg).
That's useful to know.
Once you've got your internet running you can install 'community/arch-wiki-docs' for offline wiki access.
Thank you so much! This could be a life saver! I've installed it.
If you're in the UK, mkwvconf output for O2 is:
I will explore this alternative sometime. For something as important as this, a backup plan is useful. I've been using netcfg for WiFi for quite some time before I installed nm. It'd be great to use netcfg (and the nice menu) with wvdial.
Thank you all very much,
James.

Windows 8.1 laptop cannot connect to the internet using USB Mobile Broadband stick.

I bought a new laptop and it came with Windows 8.1 installed. Well, things worked perfectly until I wanted to connect to the internet using my mobile broadband USB stick. I installed the software that came with the stick, and my laptop recognize
the stick but I still cant connect to the internet. The stick workes perfect in my Windows 7 and Windows 8 laptops, but IT DONT CONNECT WITH MY WINDOWS 8.1 LAPTOP. What can I do to troubleshoot this???
HOPE I AM SPECIFIC ENOUGH THOU...

The PC Repair Guy,
If you haven't already, verify that you can connect to the internet through some other means such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet with your laptop to rule out any network setting issues. If you are able to connect successfully to the internet, use that opportunity
to make sure you have
Windows 8.1 Update installed as well as any other applicable updates your laptop may require.
You may also want to check the
Windows Compatibility Center to make sure that your device is compatible with Windows 8.1.
Another possibility is that the driver your laptop is installing for the device isn't the correct one. Check the device manufacturer's site for the most up to date driver they have available for Windows 8.1.
Hope this helps!

User having trouble connecting to VPN using mobile broadband card

I've got a user with a laptop running Windows 7 who is trying to use an AT&T mobile broadband card to connect to a VPN using the Cisco IPSec VPN client. The card is the Sierra Wireless Momentum 4G. The VPN connection established fine, but no traffic gets passed after that. Other users can connect to the VPN fine (not using mobile broadband, though). Wired and wireless connections from this laptop are able to get to the VPN fine. It's just over the mobile broadband service that this happens. Are there any workarounds for this issue?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
To use the proprietary BB services (including Push email capability, native browser, BBM, etc.), you must have an adequate data plan from your carrier. The carriers host BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service) for their BB users. Typically, BIS is not available via generic data plans. Many carriers call what is necessary The Blackberry Data Plan. Whatever they call it, it is the carrier who delivers BIS to their BB users -- contact them for assistance. Once you have a BIS-capable data plan on your BB (at whatever fees your carrier will charge, btw), your BB-proprietary services will function (e.g., you will have Personal/Internet Email added to the email setup wizard, your BBM will function, etc).
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/What_do_I_need_a_Data_Plan_for%3F
With hundreds of carriers in the world, each with dozens of different data plans, it's impossible to tell you specifically what any service plan might actually provide. Only the carriers can answer that question. The best thing to do is to decide what services you desire, and then talk to your carrier about obtaining (from them) a data plan that enables what you desire.
Good luck!

I am just starting out trying to install ARCH with ONLY an e156 USB 3G modem.... Sorry I can't suggest anything. And, I am asking if you could help me by posting you code for ppp.
I wish to connect with JUST ppp/pppd as it is all I will have in a base install. Not with wvdial. just ppp
can you let me know exactly what you did with the e156 to get running on ARCH with ppp?
