Access Connection SMS Menu disappeared!!!!

I have a T61p, a T400 and a T410 and all 3 of them running w7 Access Connections 5.61 and same problem the sms menu does not show up. I managed to solve the problem on my T61 with the Sierra Manager software which can handle the internal WWAN Sierra card, but for the other 2 which have the Ericsson F3507g nothing can be done as the Sony Ericsson Software does not recognize the WWAN Card!!!
Unfortunately my mobile operator requires me to send an SMS prior to connect 3G so I basically need to take he SIM out use a phone send the SMS, and stick it back in the laptop.
Anyone know which version of access connection has sms still working? for W7? where to download?
Lenovo hope you read this forum, getting a lot of people with the same issue...
Thank you
Geoffroy

Access Connection Tray Icon disappear

Hi, I got a problem on a T61p model 8889-AB5 owned by my boss. The ThinkVantage Access Connections tray icon was disappeared occasionally. It is noticed that below registry keys were missed and I needed to add them back to get the tray icon displayed.ACTray=C:\\Program Files\\ThinkPad\\ConnectUtilities\\ACTray.exeACWLIcon="C:\\Program Files\\ThinkPad\\ConnectUtilities\\ACWLIcon.exe This T61p hardware was checked by Lenovo service center on July 2008; no problem was found and the Win XPP was reinstalled from recovery CD afterward. Does anyone encounter similar problem? Thanks, Eric

And still no improvements in version 6.11!
Can we expect a fix for this?

Unable to edit or delete profile in Access Connection 5

Hi Everybody!
I'm unable to edit or delete profiles in Access Connection on my T41 running latest Access Connection v5.
The edit and delete buttons on the Access Connection Profile menu are shown only in light grey color and it's not possible to click them. I have administrator rights on my machine. These profiles were initially migrated from a very old v3 (automatically during system update) and I guess that this is one of the root causes of my problem.
I have also tried to use the QCTRAY.EXE /DEL command, but that's also not working. The profiles just remain there unchanged.
I would be very pleased if somebody could give me a hint on how to overcome this boring problem.
Best regards,
Helmut
Solved!
Go to Solution.

v3 profiles are not compatible with v5.
The best solution in your case would be to uninstall Access Connections with profiles and then reinstall and create new profiles.

How can I access the help menu on the top bar? It tells me I am not connected or to try later.

Menu disappears when accessing menu items in Web Dynpro

Hi friends,
I have a peculiar problem. I created a webdynpro application in WD for ABAP which displays a menu of Employee self services(ESS). In the window on the leftside the menu is displayed. if you click on any of the service name, the corresponding service will be displayed on the right side of the window. If another service is clicked, the previous service session will be logged out and the new service will be started in a new session. This is working fine.
But if the user clicks on two or more services alternately, for a random number of times, sometimes the menu disappears and the whole of the window is occupied by the service frame itself. Sometimes this happens for a second click itself and sometimes it doesn't happen at all. Some other times it happens after clicking the services for nearly 50 times.
It is difficult to test even because we do not know after how many attempts the menu will disappear and whether it will disappear at all.
Can anyone suggest a solution.

Hi Sujesh,
First create a menu. Add menu items and then bind the menu item events to view controller actions. Define an event parameter mapping if you need to determine the menu item that triggered the action, or use separate actions for the menu items.
For api see the link below:

Updated to Access Connections 5.02 and location profiles disappeared

After updating Access Connections from 4.52 to 5.02 all the wireless location profiles are gone, including WEP keys, etc. The old version of AC worked fine on my X61S.
1) How can one upgrade to AC 5 without losing these?
2) I have complete system backups. In what file or registry entry can I find the saved location profiles from 4.52?

Same thing happened to me. Most frustrating...
I was able to find a listing of the now-missing profiles in "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\Access Connections\Locations". Using regedit, I removed the following DWORD key, "m_bHideInList", from each entry and all of my location profiles now appear in Access Connections again as they were before. Looks like there also are a variety of other (rather straightforward) configuration parameters in the registry key(s) listed above, so hopefully something in there is the magic bullet.
Anyway, hope this helps.
C'mon Lenovo -- this seems to be sloppy coding, pure and simple. You're better than this!

802.1x wlan authentication wont work with Access Connections

Hi - hope someone can help. I have a WLAN configured to use 802.1x authentication using PEAP, passwords and an internal CA.
I can conect and authenticate a wireless client using the inbuilt windows wireless client; i am unable to connect when i configure Access Connections on the same computer with the same wireless settings. This is really annoying.....
The version of access connections is 5.21 running on windows XP SP3. Laptop is T61.
The connection fails as Access connections seems to think that there is no certificate installed on the client; there is and of course this would not have worked with the windows wireless client.
error message is:
The identity of the server was rejected. Verify that the correct server name has been specified in the 'Validate Server Certificate' section of the profile.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks.

did you find any resolution to this? our mba- mid 2013 deployment is having a very similar problem. We've gone through loads of troubleshooting and have yet to come to a resolution. all our mid 2012 mba's are working fine they're 10.7.5/10.8.4 mixed. console logs don't show much, i'll try the wireless diags tomorrow. our other 10.8.4 build appears fine on other models of machines. i've read posts about deleteing the adapters, deleting the system config plists and changing the mtu size, these steps do not work for us.
we don't have as high a failure rate with our deployment, but 25%-30% of our clients randomly drop connectivity and are unable to reconnect (fluttering wi-fi wave). when you slect the wifi symbol in the menu bar other wireless networks do not show, the 'looking for networks' fly wheel continues to spin. ocasionaly on login the yellow jelly bean will appear then disappear before finally timeing out without logging the user in (depsite having mobile accounts enabled). mostly the problem manifests itself when waking from sleep - the wifi symbol flutters endlessly without connecting. deleting the 8021x profile and readding it will reenable connectivity. we've tried new profiels, but to the same end. i know our certs and systems are fine because previous mac os x builds work fine as do our windows clients.
any input would be much appreciated.

Access Connections issues w L512

I have a Lenovo L512 - 444CTO, running Windows 7, i5 processor, 4gb ram, 500gb hd
it has the adapter 11b/g/n wireless LAN mini-PCI express Adapter II
both at my home and at my office, both of which have wireless internet, it will log on initially and get good signal and work, but within ~10 minutes of being on the internet, it for no reason stops working. The Access Connections menu says that it is still connected with strong signal. But the small "network" icon in the bottom right shows the yellow-triangle exclamation point, and says "no internet access," despite the fact that all other computers at both the home and office continue to work without interruption.
it is not a problem with the networks, as multiple other computers on the same network in both places work without interruption.
this laptop was purchased because i have online live synchronous classes this spring for my Graduate program, and I need to be able to get online and stay online to participate in them.
Any ideas as to why this might be happening or possible solutions would be greatly appreciated.
there is no firewall on either of the wireless providers that I use, and i have checked that the wireless radio is turned on. the troubleshooting for the network icon tells me it finds nothing it can do.
Solved!

Hello mate,
It's possible that you need to deselect the option "Allow the wireless LAN radio to be turned off when inactive" found under Global settings.
Launch Access Connections>Tools>Global Settings. Deselect it and see if that fixes your problem.

Access Connections 5.3 doesn't see wireless

Suddenly Access Connections can no longer see any wireless networks -- even though the Windows wireless manager connects fine. There are other similar recent posts but without a solution that works.
T41 Type 2373
WinXP SP3
Access Connections 5.3
Atheros a/b/g wireless lan mini PCI, with driver v4.1.2.156
Hotkey features 1.31.0610
Solutions I've tried already:
Ran sys update to get latest versions
turned off firewall
removed Access Connections including all profiles
removed wireless adapter driver
removed hotkey features
rebooted
reinstalled Hotkey, Wireless driver, and Access Connections
rebooted
turned off firewall again during connection attempt
Access Connections fails to connect wirelessly (but connects OK hardwired)
The Connections Status window shows wireless radio not turned on Error Code 16 (even though the radio is on). When I run repair, the error changes to code 9 - no wireless networks in range (even though more than one is in range). I can connect via WinXP wireless mgr with no problem.
Thanks for any help!

well i don't have xp on my machine and it is a t61 so what i can assist with is limited. (vista business access connections 5.31) i've reviewd you troubleshooting steps but first i do have to ask since it was a sudden change do you recall installing updates or changeing any settings? if you have it set for automatic backups check to be sure everything is ok there. i wouldn't normaly suggest system restore since it messes with the registry and I'VE seen it do some damage but enymachine and user is different so you can give that a try if you can't at all recall what may have happened. you can find by going to start-->all programs-->accessories-->system tools
but just thinking off the top of my head in the advanced menu under details you change you global settings so that it wont power off the radio in any instance (but probably wont change since you can connect using the windows config) and be sure it is powered on by press fn+f5 along with checking for the wirless switch at the front of your computer, the t41 is a lil oder than mine so it may not have. and along with those drivers that you updated try updating (not uninstalling and reinstalling) the power managment driver. i know when i install my own os it runs a lot better to install you chipset and powermanagement drivers first. (that i i sugges to update and not uninstall) and since its giving an error that it can't power on thats what i can suggest.
p.s. under tools there should be diagnostics to where you can check to see if you enabled the error logging, if yo uhave that might provide further assistance.
p.p.s. i've looked up on a few other topics and it prob makes a difference with xp instead of vista because when selecting which tool to configure your wirless connection can cause an issue. but i mainly see this with older versions of access connecctions. so i guess i good question is if you were able to use windows to view and connect while you were using access connections?

ThinkVantage Access Connections, Power Manager, and Toolbox all crash on startup

I have a SL 500 with factory Vista , updated to SP2 and the current versions of the thinkvantage components.
Access Connections has always been very buggy of this machine (I guess the battery monitor has been as well), When I attempted to update them this is where I ended up.
Also just installed new .net framework 4 as well.
thanks for any help

ThinkVantage Access Connections cannot export .loc profile

Hello,
I've tried to export one of the location profiles in Thinkvantage AC. The function however is disabled in the profile maintenance window/menu. Access connection thus only allows importing, but no exports possible.
I've already tried using the Deployment tool for creating .loa files. But as this is binary gibberish, it's not much more useful to me than a registry export.
So, does anybody alternatively have a *.loc file at hand for public viewing? Couldn't find a single example on the web. (Much less in Lenovos documentation or web site...)
Thanks!

Here's an update to my situation:
ThinkVantage Access Connections Issue
I just gave up on this and uninstalled it so no conflicts on this now. (Not critical to me unless someone more knowledgeable thinks it should be!)
Rescue and Recovery: I tried reinstalling both the Thinkvantage version 4.21 and Rapid Restore 4.0 after disabling all virus protection and uninstalling whichever one was on at that time.
Thinkvantage version 4.21: Gave me tons of errors in the pre windows R&R environment so I gave up after rebooting a couple of times It told me there was a problem with factory.exe and the following files were "corrupt and unreadable":
netdgdxb.PNF
nettcpip.PNF
netvt86.PNF
netw940.PNF
net557.PNF
netand2.PNF
netbrdgm.PNF
netce2.PNF
NetSetup.Log
Rapid Restore 4.0: Reinstalled from c:\ibmtools\apps.
Ran both "Create Rescue Media" and Rapid Restore 4.0. "Create Rescue Media"seemed to work ok and burned a CD for me. Rapid Restore had a problem and closed on it's own, but then proceeded to prompt me through 17 CDs for a backup!?! Can I rely on these? Is there a way to check their integrity? Of course, a fix for the program seeming to end--but not really --would be great. Also, the program to create the factory product recovery disks is no longer in Start-Programs menu. The pre Windows R&R environment seems to load ok--no obvious error messages.
Finally, since I reinstalled the software is the backup to factory info gone from my computer? Is there a way to check? What is the relationship between this and Windows System Restore which is reserving 9Gb on my HD--do I need both?
Thanks in advance!

Access Connections refuses to run - X200 XP

Either something changed (an update?) or something I inadvertently did that has caused Access Connections to no longer run. The wireless connection is working fine and all of the Fn - x buttons work fine and I am not aware of any other issues with my X200. I just performrd a system update and the Access Connections driver was one of two recommended updates which I performed so presumably I have the latest version. Whether I start it via start menu, thinkvantage button, or from the wireless radio panel, the hard drive light flashes like something is being loaded but after a few seconds the flashing stops but no program starts nor is there any error message.
Hopefully someone here could shed some light on what might have happened and how to resolve it....any help will be much appreciated.

Download ThinkVantage Access Connections
Remove any and all versions of access connections-sometimes it will install on top of the previous version- (make sure to delete the application folder as well). Reboot and reinstall using the download from the link posted above (confirm it is the latest release). Access connections can be a little temperamental at times, usually the above steps will resolve the issue.
