Droid A855 mobile broadband connect

So I am in need of using my droid as a mobile broadband connect to hook up to my laptop and it gave me the option to select it as a service (for $20) but I am not sure now how exactly to get it to sign on and what to do next? Is there a place to download instructions or do I just go into my settings and try it through there? I am so lost...sorry...

Good morning.
To use the Mobile Broadband Connect, you will need a USB cable, and you will also need a copy of VZAccess Manager. This is included in the Mobile Office Kit, BlackBerry / Smartphone box, or can be downloaded from www.vzam.net. Once it is downloaded successfully, you will be able to connect your Droid using the USB cable, to your PC or laptop. You will open VZAccess Manager, and then connect. You can also use this link for instructions to use VZAccess Manager.
If you need additional instructions or assistance, please send me a Private Message and I will be happy to assist you further.
Thank you,

Mobile Broadband Connect not working on x301

Hi
I definitely cannot get mobile broadband working on my UK x301
I have a fully updated system with all the Win7 Drivers (using both System update 4 and further manual downloads) and I found a Win 7 version of Mobile Broadband Connect however when loaded it hangs on Initialising... for ages and then complains that "the sim card present on the system cannot be read"
Can anyone help please?

That has been on issue ever since RC1. The Ericsson Broadband Modem only seems to work in specific combinations of older drivers. Also not every access connections version seems to behave nicely in combination with it. My success rate in configuring those has been approx 50% and I gave up.
I did manage a 100% success rate though with all most recent drivers + the specific 7uw706ww ericsson package from the beta website.
There's one catch though. This driver seems to be capped at 384Kbps e.g. stuck in UMTS mode.
For me that's enough to last until proper drivers come out, but it is higly irritating.

How do I share a MOBILE broadband connection through Time Capsule ?

Hello all.
I have one of those little USB stick Mobile Broadband Modem thingies that I plug into my i-Mac with 10.5.5 Leopard to get internet access. I discovered I can share the internet connection with my i-Phone using the ad-hoc internet connection sharing function in "System Preferences > Sharing > Internet Sharing". This works fine as long as I am only trying to share with ONE device, eg my laptop, OR my i-Phone, and as long as I disconnect the ethernet cable connecting my i-Mac to my Time Capsule (otherwise Safari won't connect to any websites).
But. . . .
How do I share this Mobile Broad Band USB stick with ALL my network devices (i-Phone, Apple TV and Toshiba laptop) at the same time ?.
Should I :-
(1) Configure my Time Capsule to use NAT and "Share a Public IP Address" with the rest of the network ?
(2) Set the Time Capsule to use bridge mode and do the sharing in "System Preferences > Sharing > Internet Sharing" ?
I could not get either to work.
I read an article on how to do this using a PC on Vista using something called "Port Forwarding", but has anyone achieved this trick in the Mac world ?

Shaun

Hello Tesserax.
I have the USB modem stick plugged into the back of my i-Mac, and yes I can set up an ad-hoc airport connection between my i-Mac and (say) my Apple TV, and share internet that way. This works but only if I disconnect the i-Mac ethernet cable from the Time Capsule. Presumably, this is because both the Mac and the Time Capsule are both trying to be routers ???
One of the British Mac Magazines explained that you should not try to use ad-hoc Internet Sharing (via System Preferences) whilst NAT and "Share an Internet Connection" (via Airport Utility) is turned on because they are alternative (and mutually exclusive) methods of sharing an internet connection.
I will try setting Airport Utility to use "Bridge Mode" instead of "Share a Public IP Address" and see what happens. I assume Time Capsule will still issue DHCP IP addresses in "Bridge Mode " ?? but hopefully the conflict between the Time Capsule and the ad-hoc i-Mac airport network will cease because NAT is off.
Remember, this is supposedly possible using PC computers on Vista . . .

Why gnome-ppp establish mobile broadband connection,not networkmanager

I am using usb radio modem AirPlus MCD-650 on my summer cottage and trying to setup internet. I have both Ununtu and Archlinux partitions, but prefer to use Arch, because my computer is too old for heavy Ubuntu OS.
There is no problem to connect to internet from ubuntu network-manager-applet in Gnome panel (which uses networkmanager daemon), even from LiveCD. But in Archlinux, following instructions on http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_manager fails to succed. But another way: to use gnome-ppp program (graphic interface for wvdial) establishes connection. I prefer first way as less "clickable" and wonder if somebody can explaim me my mistakes.
As I noticed, in Ubuntu there are both lines in right-click network-manager-applet menu
1)Enable networking
2)Enable mobile broadband
but in Arch only first one in this place. May be it can help.

let me tell you what happens to me on a mobile usb.
first is trying to mount a partition and i have to go in Applications->System Tools->Disk utility and umount that disk. after a moment i can use it in network manager and is listening the new network and "enable mobile broadband"
i think they got a udev rule or something to stopping mounting that partition, where is the driver for windows/mac

NB 100: How to - Orange UK mobile broadband connection (icon 225 usb stick)

I've just managed to get my nb100 connected, here is how:
Step 1 - Register the SIM - instructions come with the device
Step 2 - network manager upgrade
#Right click on your network manager icon in the top right and select 'about'. If this is less than 0.7 (as was mine) upgrade is needed.
#upgrade to network manager >=0.7
>sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
#add the following to the end:
>deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/network-manager/ubuntu hardy main
>deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/network-manager/ubuntu hardy main
#save, exit, run update manager, install updates and reboot. If network manager icon is missing - shut down completely. Should appear after turned back on.
Step 3 - Install the hso driver and ozerocdoff
locate and download the latest version (1.9 in my case) here: http://www.pharscape.org/forum/index.php?board=14.0
>cd Desktop/
>tar zxvf hso-1.9.tar.gz
>cd hso_26-v.19/
>sudo apt-get install build-essential
>sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
>make
>sudo make install
Locate and download ozerocdoff
>cd ../
>tar zxvf udev.tar.gz
>cd udev/
>sudo make install
Step 4 - Set up connection
Right click on network manager and select 'edit connections' > mobile broadband. Edit the connection listed and insert the following:
username: orange
password: orange
APN: orangeinternet
When you plug your icon 225 in it should now connect.
Pull the icon 225 out when you want to disconnect.. I tried using the disconnect option on the network manager and my notebook crashed..
Feel free to copy and improve this howto.

Mobile broadband connection issue

I just bought MBP (first ever and was so excited ) and connected my mobile broadband dongle to it. It told me to install software and then go to Network Settings and "enable" the device. The device does not appear in the list, only wifi/ethernet/firewall, not my USB Broadband. Does anyone know why? Have installed it twice and restarted and everything, but I plug in the USB dongle and it gets recognised but I cant connect, it works on my old computer tho...

USB is not inherently a Mac Networking protocol. To make it recognizable as one, there needs to be some software that is run to configure the USB device and make it appear as a Network device.
Check in the downloaded software for a setup or configuration program, and run it.

Droid DNA Mobile Data Connectivity Issues

   I have the HTC Droid DNA, about 6 weeks old, and for some reason my phone has randomly started to lose connection to mobile data. I've never dropped it or spilled anything on it, so I don't understand why this is happening. I've tried turning my phone off and on again, changing the preffered network to global and back to LTE, and removing and re-inserting the SIM card..but it still randomly happens. My phone can be fine for a week and then it will randomly just disconnect from mobile data again.
   My first question is why do I pay for this when I have to sometimes wait for more than an hour for mobile data to come back? My second question is does anybody else with the DNA get this problem? I realize that when you have Wi Fi activated it would automatically disconnect you; however, this isn't related to my issue. I've turned Wi Fi off and that's when I get the mobile data disconnected issue. This HAS to be corrected. I'm not paying over $100 a month for data when I can't even use it when I need to.

[SOLVED] NetworkManager will not connect to Mobile Broadband (o2)

I cannot get Networkmanager to connect to mobile broadband (o2).
Everything works fine if I open a terminal, do "sudo wvdial o2", minimize it, and then open Firefox.
Networkmanager (nm-applet) shows the connection to o2, but if I select it, it just instantly responds with "Network Disconnected". I have checked the settings for the mobile broadband connection, and they are the same as in wvdial.
I have also tried logging in as root, and tried from there, but I still get the same resuilt.
I would be very grateful for any help with this problem.

As if by magic, the latest updates have solved the problem. I've no idea how, but everything is now working perfectly.
Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to think about this problem for me.

Droid Charge Mobile Hotspot

Does Verizon charge extra for the Droid Charge Mobile Hotspot feature or is it included in the data package? Any extra hardware or cables needed? Does the mobile hotspot work in 3G areas also? TIA

Thank you for your inquiry. Adding to what was stated, to get unlimited 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot and Mobile Broadband Connect usage until June 15, 2011, it comes with the purchase of a ThunderBolt by HTC or a DROID Charge by Samsung with a voice plan and a data package $29.99 or higher. The hotspot itself is a data feature not included in the data plan. This is because the data plan covers data usage on the pone itself. The hotspot is a connection point for another device to use its own separate data access the mobile hotspot is designed for 4G coverage just as one of the two devices offered use 4G. In areas where 4G is not available, the devices would default and work on a 3G network. No extra cables or hardware is needed.

Huawei E173 mobile broadband modem install - lost access to Internet

A few days ago I purchased the Huawei E173 mobile broadband USB modem ("Internet Stick") with SIMcard from Tchibo; they use the 3G+ network (HSPA/UMTS) from O2 in Germany. I installed the modem with its "Mobile Partner" GUI in WinXP/SP3 on my Asus EeePC 1001R netbook and in WinXP/SP3 on a Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop and also installed the modem in Arch on the Dell laptop.
For the Arch install I followed the section "Easy Install using Network Manager" in the Archwiki "Huawei E220"; that was all that was needed, using NetworkManager, modemmanager and the Gnome network-manager-applet (nm-applet).
All went well: I successively and successfully used the modem and got on the net in WinXP on the netbook, then on WinXP on the laptop and finally in Arch on the laptop. Then I tried to use it again in WinXP on the Asus netbook: no access to the Internet. Tried it again in Arch: no access. Tried it again in WinXP on the Dell: no access.
The symptoms were the same in all three cases: when the stick was inserted, the OS recognized it, it asked for and accepted the SIMcard PIN#, established a link with the ISP access point - with excellent signal strength -, I was given an IP address in the 10.xx.xx.xx range, and according to the stick's LED, the connection alternated between being on an UMTS and HSPA net. But no Internet access, neither in Firefox nor Chromium nor Opera, with and without firewalls or system proxies! I was able to ping my own IP address but not the IP addresses of the standard gateway, DHCP server, and DNS servers, and some of these addresses were peculiar (I can provide more info on that). And no luck pinging Google or Amazon, either with their hostnames or IP addresses.
A support call to Tchibo confirmed that there was no O2 net service outage in my area, that signal coverage ought to be excellent in my area, incl. for an HSPA connection, that my new account was active and in good order, there was no block on it and there was plenty of high-speed data capacity left in it.
So I exchanged the stick. So far I've installed the new stick/SIMcard only in WinXP on the Asus netbook, with new cellphone # and PIN. And everything is fine again; I'm back on the internet.
I don't want to be confined to browsing in Windows; Arch is where I do all my work and that's where I want to access the Internet as well. But for nothing in the world do I want to go again through the ordeal of being completely locked out of the Internet and trying to troubleshoot this problem without access to it. But I'm leery of using the new stick in Arch again and again experiencing the same lockout; I need to know what the cause of this problem was.
I see several possibilities:
1. Hardware failure of the first Huawei stick.
2. Some network config setting might have gotten corrupted in going through two Windows and then the Linux install.
3. Some account or network settings on the ISP side might have gotten corrupted.
Re 1: Seems highly unlikely to me; the stick I returned worked flawlessly for 24 hrs. and is probably still perfectly all right.
Re 2: Are such config settings stored on the SIM chip or elsewhere in the data storage section of the stick, so that they an incompatible setting might be carried over from one OS or install to another?
Re 3: Tchibo already seem to have gotten confused over the uses of the stick in my two Windows installs. When I installed it in WinXP on the Dell (after having installed it in WinXP on the Asus netbook), the data volume counter was reset, and they again started counting KB's from zero in the Dell WinXP install, but kept track of usage from the Asus install separately, in spite of the fact that there was only one account with them, and account identifiers such as cellphone # and SIMcard PIN# were identical in the two cases. Further, they don't officially support Linux; perhaps their software got totally confused by the usage coming from NetManager in Linux. But one would think that this stick would be completely portable from machine to machine and from OS to OS, just like a USB WLAN adapter.
Any thoughts about the cause of these problems, whether they might reoccur if I use the new stick in Arch, and how I can get around them?

Thanks for the tip. I'm very leery though of trying to use the new stick in Linux until I know exactly what caused the problem before because with the first stick it was after I'd used it in Linux (just once) that I lost internet connectivity in all three systems. If that happens again, I'd be in the same hole as before: trying to troubleshoot a potentially complicated networking problem without access to the Internet. Short of an expensive call to customer support of doubtful outcome that could cost me the price of the stick (not toll-free; costs 0.42 EUR/min), the only way out then may be to return the stick again and again set up a new account. I doubt, they will go along with that.
Setting up the stick in Arch was actually the easiest thing. After I'd installed networkmanager, modemmanager, nm-applet and some other bits (such as mobile-broadband-provider-info), it was all plug-and-play, and with these bits of software Arch automatically set up a mobile broadband connection to the ISP's server and I had an excellent Internet connection. Only after I went back into WinXP, did I lose all Internet connectivity in all three systems, even though I still got a good link to the AP (persistent misconfiguration of GW, route, subnet mask, etc?).

Networkmanager: mobile broadband doesn't work anymore

Hi,
I had setup a mobile broadband connection for my Nokia N900, connected via USB, with the NetworkManager (Gmome 3) two or three weeks ago. It worked perfect. Yeserday I tried the internet connection again - after a couple of rolling updates (e.g. actual NetworkManager 0.8.999-1). Now, the internet connection doesn't work anymore.
NetworkManager --no-daemon prints out the following:
NetworkManager[2944]: <info> Activation (ttyACM0) starting connection 'n900'
NetworkManager[2944]: <info> (ttyACM0): device state change: disconnected -> prepare (reason 'none') [30 40 0]

NetworkManager[2944]: <info> Activation (ttyACM0) Stage 1 of 5 (Device Prepare) complete.
NetworkManager[2944]: <warn> GSM modem enable failed: (32) Serial command timed out
NetworkManager[2944]: <info> (ttyACM0): device state change: prepare -> failed (reason 'modem-init-failed') [40 120 28]
NetworkManager[2944]: <warn> Activation (ttyACM0) failed.

NetworkManager[2944]: <info> (ttyACM0): deactivating device (reason: 0).
It seems, the modem cannot be initialized
Using wvdial with the N900, the internet connection works still fine.
What is the problem? Any ideas?

Hi,
I managed to solve. Only the downgrade did not work. My solution:
1-Create the directory (if not existing)
/var/lock
2-Do not use package:
kdeplama-network-management
3-Use the package (downgrade)
extra/modemmanager 0.4-1 [instalado: 0.4-1]
http://arm.konnichi.com/2011/04/30/extr … pkg.tar.xz
4-Use the pachage (gnome)
network-manager-applet
5-Add dbus policy (If the file nm-applet.conf does not exist, create!)

KDE networkmanager and sharing mobile internet connection to wlan

I'm not so expert in networking only a user.
I use KDE 4.6.1. I have a netbook with Atheros AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter driver ath5k. I have installed networkmanagement 20110226-1 and networkmanager 0.8.2-3.
I connect to the internet with a mobile broadband connection CDMA/EDVO that is well recognized and connect well.
I used to share the connection with other notebook.
But I can't create an ad-hoc shared connection.
After installing dnsmasq and follow the instruction finded here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sh … _interface
Configure dnsmasq. Make the following changes to /etc/dnsmasq.conf (uncomment if necessary):
domain-needed
bogus-priv
interface=wlan0
dhcp-range=10.42.43.1,10.42.43.100,12h
Start dnsmasq as root:
/etc/rc.d/dnsmasq start
Finally, set firewall to forward connections to and from the Internet for clients connecting to your wlan. This is done by issuing (you guessed it right, as root again):
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
Now it reply this error from the log
Mar 14 07:09:05 netbook-pc NetworkManager[2084]: <error> [1300082945.419707] [nm-device-wifi.c:1544] nm_device_wifi_set_mode(): (wlan0): error setting mode 2
The NetworkManager enter in a loop of trying to connect.
Can anyone help me?

According to that blogpost (mentioned in above post - http://lamarque-lvs.blogspot.com/2011/0 … ging.html), the bug has been solved and:
Plasma NM does not follow KDE SC release schedule. I tested this code yesterday with KDE 4.4.4 and it worked. It is just a matter of distributions updating their packages with this code.
And from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/725041 (same bug, reported for network-manager package in Ubuntu):
This bug was fixed in the package network-manager - 0.8.4~git.20110228t143901.5cdded6-0ubuntu1
Archlinux currently uses networkmanager 0.8.3-0.20110113, any chances of anyone including these updates anytime soon?
