Problems with Vodafone/Huawei E220 wireless usb Modem

Hi there,
My faithful Powerbook is having issues with a company issued Vodafone Vodem (Huawei E220 wireless HSDPA 3G USB modem).
It worked well at first, but then after restarting, waking from sleep or rebooting from off, the Vodem would cease to connect to Vodafone, with the Vodafone Modem Software giving me a cryptic message "No modem or data card attached".
Yesterday, I tried reinstalling and uninstalling the software, and after several installation/uninstallations, it finally reconnected. It has since stopped working again since shutting down the Powerbook overnight. Reinstalling has not yet worked.
I read somewhere on the net that leaving the modem plugged in for a minute before attempting to connect might work - alas no such luck.
Has anyone else out there had problems with their Vodafone/Huawei E220 USB wireless modem, and how did you resolve the problem?
I have tried both the New Zealand 2.07 version, plus the European 2.08 version of the Vodafone connectivity software.
I am running a Powerbook 15", 1.67ghz, MacOS 10.4.11, 512MB, no other peripherals connected.

No experience, but what happens if you log out then back in?
Does a New User have that problem?

  • Huawei E220 HSDPA USB modem on MacBook Pro

    Hello
    I'm trying to get the Huawei E220 usb modem to work on my MacBook Pro, but without luck so far. When I plug it in, nothing happens (except for a green LED blinking on the modem), but it doesn't appear anywhere in the system preferences / networking settings.
    I tried to find some software for macos for this modem, without luck ... there is a dashboard application from Vodafone (Mobile Connect), but it is available for PPC only.
    On the other hand, I found quite a few resources on the internet that mentioned that this modem should work on a MacBook Pro, which is why I got it in the first place.
    Does anyone have a hint.. maybe? Please?

    Plug in the modem when computer is on WAIT klick on the installt the software screen to run the software from the modem,(mine Huawei E220 from ,3.dk)install the software WAIT, type in the phone number when requered(if required), my standard password when i start the modem is 1234 you can change that(or use old ), and then connect to the internet manuelly(automatic if it is set up for that), dont connect the modem to the internet, if you want to adjust the modem so it vill start connecting automatic or to make other adjustments my computer L40-18R

  • Problems with Vodafone Mobile Card (Huawei E220)

    I have a Vodafone Mobile Card with the latest firmaware and with the latest software on the Mac (the official software from Vodafone, kinda like launch2net) and all worked fine in Tiger, but now in Leopard, I did a clean install, installed the Vodafone software, it works fine the first time I use it and then, after unplugging, when I use it again it never works.
    The Vodafone Mobile Connect launches, accepts the password, measures the signal but when I tell it to activate, it just hangs and I have to force quit. Sometimes, after force quitting I can still do the normal connection (choosing modem and connecting) but this only works sometimes.
    Does anybody have this problem also? How can I fix it?

    I am experiencing a similar problem with Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G (Version 2.08.01.00), however, I am not running OS 10.5. The modem was working fine on both of my computers for about 3 weeks, but now it does not work on my Macbook while it continues to work on my old iMac. When I launch VMC it hangs before the activation window appears and I have to either force quit or it quits itself; no error message window appears. Both computers have the same recent software updates from Apple. I am going to do a clean install of the old software on the Macbook, but I am nervous that when I unplug the modem from my iMac, the same problem will occur on it and then I will be without a connection.
    I downloaded VMC software (in English) from here:

  • Wireless USB Modem connection problem on MacBook Pro

    I am running os x 10.8.2 on my macbook pro and am trying to connect to the internet using an alltel Wireless USB Modem (manual found here: http://pcdphones-client.s3.amazonaws.com/files/709/Alltel_English_Manual.pdf) through verizon. The USB modem works on all my PC's at home and I recently switched to a mac.
    I got the software installed when I plugged the USB modem in, but i cannot get it to connect to the internet. When I open the alltel program, I cannot click the connect button and it says "no wireless WWAN device connected" and "no wireless networks defined. To define a network, click on Networks in the Preferences". I've been in the networks tab, but don't really understand how to get it to connect.

    When you contacted aaltel what did they have to say?

  • WiFi solution using Telstra wireless USB modem

    Having perused the many discussions concerning difficulties with wireless networking using OS X Lion, I now have little confidence as a new Mac owner in establishing such an internet connection unaided .
    After much technical support, I come to realise that my current telstra USB modem (sierra wireless compass 885) being used with a pc laptop is not directly compatible with OS X 10.7.3.
    My basic need is to have an internet connection on my Macbook and an ideal situation of being able to network with pc, Apple TV and possibly a backup device such as time capsule.
    So, I figure my options are to either purchase a new compatible USB modem and router,  or purchase a wifi router that will allow me to connect my Mac to the internet wirelessly through the existing pc connection.
    Please advise on the viability of these options, insofar as the likelihood of establishing and maintaining such a network without the need for a fixed line ethernet ADSL type connection. Further to this, I would appreciate any recommendations for suitable modems and routers.

    Do you need a modem because you have a dial-up ISP? There are several USB modems that work with Macs listed on Amazon. Just search for USB modems and you'll be able to find customer comments suggesting ones that work with Macs. There is a US Robotics on Amazon with reviews that say that it works with Lion -
    http://www.amazon.com/USRobotics-USR5637-FaxModem-Windows-Linux/dp/B0013FDLM0/re f=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335769698&sr=8-1
    If you have a DSL or cable modem, I would suggest in investing in a good wireless router so that you could connect all your computers. For Time Machine, I don't use the wireless drives that Apple sells, I just use a G-Drive Firewire drive. There are a lot of good outers on the market - I have a LinkSys (Cisco) that I bought a couple of years ago that is a great little 4-port router. Try http://home.cisco.com/en-us/home for a selection of good routers (others here may have other brand preferences, but Cisco has always worked well for me with minimum set-up required).
    More specifics would help - what Mac you have, if your ISP is dial-up, DSL or cable, etc.

  • Problems with AMD-K7 boards supporting USB

    Hi folks,
    I have a broadband connection via a USB modem that keeps cutting out. I have to reboot my computer to get it to connect again. I have all most recent drivers and no hardware conflicts or errors reported.
    Calling my ISP tech support they explained that there is a problem with WinXP Professional not properly supporting USB on AMD-K7 boards.
    This info was confirmed by usbman.com who write that the best solution is to buy a USB card.
    (see http://www.usbman.com/winxpusbguide.htm#AMD%20756)
    Can anyone tell me if this is correct and is there another way to get around this?
    usbman.com's say in some cases to download some new EIDE drivers from AMD
    (see http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_871_2336~4512,00.html)
    but the drivers refuse to install following the instructions from AMD.
    I'm desperate - if anyone knows how to get round this problem, please help!!!

    oh my gosh! I can't believe! you have to be a kind of magician, your PSU it's the weakest that I ever seen!    5a it's extremely low! I don´t how did it works now, even at the lower speed, please try another PSU ASAP! at least 400 watts,   and on the 12v rail at least 18a (at least, I mean minimal).

  • PROBLEM with 24/96 bit-rate USB DAC that worked fine until I plugged in two

    I'm using a late 2008 15" Macbook Pro that I bought Jan 2009 right before the SD card models came out. Mac OSX 10.6.4 and iTunes 9.2 are installed. I have a Nuforce Icon HDP and a CEntrance DACport 24/96 bit-rate USB DAC (external sound cards) that still work great right now. Note - 16 bit/44 Khz is CD quality, and these 24/96 files are hi-resolution downloads that are closer to SACD or DVD audio.
    I have been evaluating a new third 24/96 USB DAC plugged directly into the Macbook USB port (no hub) which has been working fine for over 2 weeks with 24/96 bit-rate lossless music files in iTunes. Audio Midi Setup is set for 24/96 to match the music file's resolution. After making suggestions to the manufacturer they made some improvements and sent me a new version to listen for the differences.
    I listened to the new one for a day and it worked fine, but when I plugged in the original test sample into the second USB port at the same time as the new one in order to compare them, the sound became garbled and noisy. This never happened when either one was plugged in by itself. Note, if I make changes to the DAC's bit-rate in Audio Midi Setup I usually close iTunes first and then re-open it when I am done.
    Upon hearing this new problem I unplugged both of the new USB DACs and plugged just one of them back in, but now it causes iTunes music playback to pause when one is plugged in and set for 24/96 in audio midi setup. Prior to plugging in both at the same time, either one worked just fine by itself. There is no reason when unplugging one or the other that they shouldn't start working again. But now I can't play any 24/96 music through either one anymore. In quicktime player the songs don't pause like with iTunes, but there is no sound coming through even with just one DAC plugged in at a time. Then I discovered that if I go into Audio Midi Setup application and lower the bit rate to 24/48 then iTunes will resume playing again and I can hear the music fine with iTunes or Quicktime player.
    Basically, my Macbook Pro has now lost the ability to play 24/96 bit rate with either of these new USB DACs, when they both worked fine before I plugged them in at the same time. More confusing is that they use the same USB receiver chip as in one of the DACs that I mentioned above in the first paragraph, and both the HDP and DACport still work fine at 24/96 bit-rate. It's only these two new USB DAC that require me to lower the bit rate in Audio Midi Setup to 24/48 in order to listen through them, and this wasn't a problem as recently as yesterday!
    The computer is acting like some setting needs to be wiped out - it's DEFINITELY NOT the USB DAC's that are faulty because they still both work fine at 24/96 on my wife's iMac (I'm afraid to try plugging in both at the same time to the iMac in case I screw that Mac up too).
    I have reset the PRAM a few times, and this doesn't fix the problem. I thought maybe the com.apple.audiomidisetup.plist file could be corrupted and deleted it, but that didn't help. I don't know what to try next to get the Macbook to start fresh when trying to use these devices, short of having to re-install OSX.
    Please, does anyone have a suggestion of how I can make the Macbook forget it ever saw these two USB DACs, and let me start fresh so they start working normally again? I do dozens of reviews for Head-fi.org and I can't afford to have my Macbook Pro compromised like this, which could prevent me from doing some reviews or evaluating new products.

    UPDATE:
    As noted in the first post, both of these newer USB DAC work fine at 24/96 on my wife's iMac, so it's clear that they didn't both become defective when I connected them to the Macbook Pro at the same time.
    Resetting the Macbook Pro PRAM didn't help, so I removed the hard shell laptop case to get to the battery and remove it, then reset the SMC. After that I could use the original DAC at 24/96 again, but only IF it was plugged into the rear USB port. If I plugged it into the front USB port then the sound was garbled and filled with noise. This was a vast improvement over no sound at all.
    Then I switched to the replacement/updated DAC, but I got no sound at all from either USB port at any bit-rate. And returning to the original DAC again now results in no sound again.
    Sigh... I will reset the PRAM and SMC again, and see how far I can get with this. I'd still love some help. Thanks!

  • Problem with HP 6500-E709n Wireless software on Windows 7 64-bit

    How do I, or should I, uninstall Microsoft xps printer before installing HP 6500-E709n software on Windows 7 64-bit?
    I have tried installing, uninstalling & reinstalling the software twice now and am preparing for a third installation. I inadvertently left the wireless printer on during the first installation & eversince then, I've had to physically unplug the printer to get it to shut off. Now, the printer will only shut off with the power button if I hit it before the wireless light comes on.  I cannot get the printer key pad keys to function at all, other than turning the power on & off as described above.
    Up to now, I had been using a wireless network flawlessly with a NETGEAR router, untill I tried to install the HP software on my Windows 7 64-bit unit. Now my other computers no longer find the printer....I get the message the printer is off line.
    I have currently unistalled all the HP software and rebooted for the third time. The Microsoft XPS printer now shows as the default printer...& I can't find it in the add-remove program list. Do I need to uninstall it before installing the HP software, or is my problem with the eprom firmware?

  • Image problem with my palm (J2ME Wireless Toolkit)

    Hi,
    I did a basic application. I just show an image and it works perfectly with the J2ME Wireless ToolKit.
    However, when I create the package, convert it and send it on my palm, everything is ok, except the image. It won't appair.
    I get an exception that the image couldn't be found, but when I use the emulator, everything is ok !!!
    The image is in the "res" directory, like it was asked in the manual.
    I tought that everything is encoded (text file or image file) when you create the package. If it's working with the emulator, why is it not working on my palm?

    I had a same problem with my nokia 3650 in J2me the image appears but not on the phone, I think that that is a bug and fixed it this way:
    when you make a jar package, unpack package with winRAR or some archive program in some temp directory and in that directory make a res directory an put the image in it, then repack theese files again including the res directory in a new jar file. It works for me. It looks that J2ME in compiling doesn't change the path, to root but leaves the res directory.

  • Connection Problem with Vodafone on Curve 9300

    I have curve 9300 with OS version 6 and with a Vodafone prepaid connection in Kolkata Circle. Recently I activated BIS 399 plan (Mail+Maggenger+Surfing) plan but Vodafone is still unable to provide me the service. From the day of activation ( 8 days ago)  my tower is constantly fluctuatuin between 3G and 3G(B) when the network mode is selected as 2G&3G. They have asked me to select my Network Mode to 2G only and after that my tower is shifting between edge and EDGE. They haven yet figured out the problem. I do not think that there is any problem with my handheld but their network. Anyone here faced problem similar to this please share your experience. Please also help in this regard.

  • Problems with the FM Radio after USB connection

    I've been searching around for anyone else having this issue and I though I would ask before I sent my N97 phone in for repair.
    Does anyone have or seen a problem with the FM radio loosing all its frequencies after it has been plugged into the USB charger? Everytime my phone is charged, my radio plays nothing by static. The radio stations are still there, but nothing but static can be heard. I have to reboot my phone to get it working. Since I listen to the radio everyday (the reason I got this phone and my n95) I am constantly rebooting this bloody thing.
    Also, I have a problem rebooting my phone. Sometimes it just won't enable the buttons after the phone has been locked. The side toggle switch doesn't work, and when I touch the screen it says to unlock it. So I'm forced to remove the battery to reboot it. It doesn't happen all the time, happens about 30% of the time.
    Please if anyone can help? I really don't want to send my phone in for repair. 

    Hello,
    Try to remove the n97 battery and keep the "on" button pressed for a few seconds. Then reinsert the battery and turn the phone on. That should get rid of all the accumulated static electricity on the phone. As for your other problem, the only thing I can think of is reinstalling your current firmware and resetting your phone.

  • Problem with Time Capsule recognizing three USB hub hard drives at one time

    I attached three external drives to my Time Capsule using a USB hub, but it only wants to recognize one drive at a time. I know that all three work individually with Time Capsule and the USB hub, because when I turn off the two other drives the third appears. I can turn these on and off sequentially, and all are individually recognized, but only one at a time. Does anyone know what I would need to do to get Time Capsule to recognize all three drives running simultaneously on the network? I turned Time Capsule on and off, to see if it would then recognize the three drives, but it didn't help. Could the hub be the problem, that it is underpowered? I do have an AC adapter on it. Any help would be appreciated.

    I have the same issue and would love to know if you resolved it with a powered USB hub. Otherwise, i may just return to one external hard drive--though I will miss the double-backup idea. Anyone try the hub change?

  • Problems with a Belkin N wireless router

    Weird problem I'm having.
    Whenever I wake up my g4 powerbook from sleep, I can't seem to connect to the router despite having a full airport signal being displayed on my laptop. I have to "turn airport off", wait a few minutes and then turn it on again, 2 or 3 times before it connects again - despite the airport signal being at maximum strength. I also have an iPod touch which never has this problem and always connects first time. My laptop also has no problems connecting to other routers when on the move, just this one.
    I did speak to Belkin who suggested the laborious process of changing the wireless channel until I find one that works well. I have the same problem on every channel. I'm beginning to think this is a specific problem between my router and my laptop as both components seem to be working in other pairings.

    I have the same problem, but it's only one of the problems since 3.1 update:
    1. Wifi Problems, like described in this topic
    2.
    Bluetooth disconnects after a few minutes from my car phone system, after another few minutes it reconnects.
    3.
    My iPhone is very slow. If I press the home button then it needs about 5 seconds to show the unlock slider. then I will unlock, nothing happend and other 5 seconds later the phone unlocks. To open the sms application sometimes needs many seconds. sometimes it's not possible to unlock the iphone and I have to reboot it.
    I hope apple will provide a bugfix quickly, before that I never had problems with my iPhone.
