[SOLVED] Set up ZTE mf627 GSM Modem - almost there...

Hi eve!
I have this goddamn dongle that never worked...
I read alot of posts about it, tried installing usb_modeswitch and everything, but the device never showed up on NM.
Plus i saw a big change in the last year and logs show a very strange situation that it's not yet documented on any forum. In fact, i still can't understand how the hardware is abstracted now that HAL is deprecated... Kernel magic powder? Keel anyway, HAL was a bit junky ;-)
So when i stick it in, it first tell me
Apr 27 00:03:24 myhost kernel: usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
Apr 27 00:03:24 myhost kernel: scsi8 : usb-storage 1-4:1.0
Apr 27 00:03:29 myhost kernel: scsi 8:0:0:0: CD-ROM ZTE USB SCSI CD-ROM 2.31 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2

Apr 27 00:03:29 myhost kernel: sr 8:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr1
Apr 27 00:03:29 myhost kernel: sr 8:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 5
Apr 27 00:03:35 myhost kernel: usb 1-4: USB disconnect, address 4
!! Then! The device automatically shut down and restart givin theese new messages:
Apr 27 00:03:40 myhost kernel: usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5
Apr 27 00:03:40 myhost kernel: option 1-4:1.0: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected

Apr 27 00:03:40 myhost kernel: option 1-4:1.2: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected
Apr 27 00:03:40 myhost kernel: usb 1-4: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB1

Apr 27 00:03:45 myhost kernel: sd 9:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk
At this point one may think that HAL now see a new modem and dbusses NM to create a new connection through the frendly wizard... but it doesn't...
Plus i get a ZTE MMC Storage on my "Computer" that i can't "safely remove"
Error detaching: helper exited with exit code 1: Detaching device /dev/sdb
USB device: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb1/1-3)
SYNCHRONIZE CACHE: FAILED: No such file or directory
(Continuing despite SYNCHRONIZE CACHE failure.)
STOP UNIT: FAILED: No such file or directory
So i tried usb_modeswitch with the setting i saw on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1017630&page=3 and it just worsened the situation since it would only mound as an MMC once restarted.
HAL infos, gathered from the link above, made no difference...
lsusb give "Bus 001 Device 009: ID 19d2:0064 ONDA Communication S.p.A. ZTE MF627 AU" with various Interface descriptor ("bInterfaceClass 8 Mass Storage" and various "bInterfaceClass 255 Vendor Specific Class" , no modem though...)
Damn, i'm afraid that these dongles only work fine if you are a teenager with an unsure personality that needs to check her facebook profile every 5 minutes on a windlords svista...

F*#ç s>*t!!! You mean modemmanager is the opt depend for NM to bring up the modem?!!!
sorry... thought it was wvdial...
So cool! This gives ZTE mf627 full linux support out of the box ;-)
And even the MMC reader seems to work! WoW
Love you all guys!

Latest Arch Linux & Huawei E398 GSM Modem

Hello,
I have a Huawei E398 GSM Modem running on the latest Arch linux.
Kernel 3.8.10, modemmanager 0.7.990-4, usb_modeswitch 1.2.5-1, usbutils 006-1.
The device was working properly until couple of days ago when I last used it. Now it doesn't show in KDE network manager applet.
This is the dmesg for the device:

This is lsusb output:
Bus 005 Device 013: ID 12d1:1506 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E398 LTE/UMTS/GSM Modem/Networkcard
There is this warning in output from journalctl -b:

Thanks for any help.

I had very similar or maybe the same problem.
My error was:
localhost dbus[324]: [system] Activation via systemd failed for unit 'dbus-org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.service': Unit dbus-org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status dbus-org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.service' for details.
I enabled ModemManager.service
systemctl enable ModemManager.service
and started it
systemctl start ModemManager.service
That solved the problem.

Snow Leopard and GSM Modems (Vodafone)

I'm not sure if this is the proper place to post this, but I'd like to share my experience with GSM (GPRS/3G) modems and Mac OS X. The main reason for doing this is the fact that I wasn't able to find any related information for my issues on the web and I think I'm not the only one with those issues. Feel free to post any feedback here
Few months ago I started using a 3G modem with my Macbook Air. The service provider is Vodafone and the modem is incorrectly marketed by Vodafone on the web as a Huawei device (E169), but it is a ZTE K3656-Z modem (I'm not sure if the companies are different or if the hardware is, in fact, different, but the kernel module is definitely different :D).
The first thing that annoyed me is the Vodafone Mobile Connect application. The 'response time' between plugging in the modem and actually getting online is quite big, and I really wanted to get it out of my way. I'm not using any SMS functionality, so from my point of view, the application was totally pointless. When you plug in the modem, it acts as an external CD Drive. If the Vodafone Mobile Connect application is installed, it will automatically eject (unmount) the drive. Unfortunately,
this usually (not all the time, but quite often) generates a crash in diskutil (quite annoying).
But what annoyed me the most, was the fact that, when online, the Vodafone application was taking at least 35% of my CPU. Now, this is unacceptable Under normal load (Safari, Adium), this was quite acceptable. But under slightly higher load, the CPU was getting quite hot, causing the kernel_task to try to slow down the system (and cool down the CPU) by taking about 135% of CPU (according to Activity Monitor) and making the system unusable. Of course, another side effect was the cooler running at 6400 RPM, faster battery drain and generally, making the system quite unusable. My 1st Generation Macbook Air wasn't able to deal with all that
When I first saw the high CPU usage by the Vodafone application, I immediately thought of the old 56Kb WinModems Back then, it was quite a common practice to develop modems that would use the CPU to compress/decompress or process the data/sound in order to make the modem as cheap as possible, but inflicting a huge system slow down - Yes, I'm that old :P
Given that experience with those modems, I figured that the Vodafone application was somehow doing that as a 'user space module' Boy, was I wrong
So, this is what I did: First of all, you need to properly identify the GSM modem. In order to do this (no Terminal involved) is to set up connection using Vodafone Mobile Connect, then using the System Preferences, head over to Network and check the available interfaces (no, this is not a tutorial, but a guide :P ). You should see either a Huawei Modem or ZTEUSBModem/ZTEUSBATPort. Keep in mind the modem you have, then disconnect. At this point, you need to use the Vodafone application to change the PIN settings on your SIM card. Use the application (Preferences -> PIN) and disable PIN check. Now you can safely remove the Vodafone application
The second step is to install the proper modules/drivers/kexts for this. You can either get them from the web (at this point, you already know what modem you have) or you can use the packages located inside the Vodafone Mobile Connect application installer. To do this, simply use 'Show Contents' of the installer, then locate the packages (pkg) inside the Resources folder for your modem (the names are quite clear :P). Install that package and you'll have the modem drivers installed on your system.
Once the modem drivers are installed, when you connect the GSM modem, the external CD Drive will 'mount'. Eject it and wait a little bit (few seconds) until the SIM card is initialized and the modem is available. Go to System Preferences -> Network and add a new interface using ZTEUSBModem (not ZTEUSBATPort). Set it up as a Generic Modem, GPRS Modem and configure it with your provider settings (APN, username, password). Set the dial up number as *99# (you can find a lot of tutorials on the web about setting this up - the tricky part was installing the proper modules and disabling the PIN check). You may now connect.
The downside of this is the fact that you need to manually eject the drive when connecting the modem, otherwise you won't get the modem functionality, no SMS functionality and no PIN security.
The upside is a very quiet system (the fan runs at 2400 RPM as opposed to 6400 RPM), a fast one (I can't see any noticeable slow down at all) and better battery life time.
I'm not sure what is the effect on other systems, but my 1st Generation Macbook Air was totally unusable after few minutes of online time. Now it works perfectly
I really hope that this is useful for other people Feel free to ask any question, I'm aware that my 'tutorial' skills are quite poor :P

Oh, I forgot to mention: This works both on Leopard and Snow Leopard (tested on both systems). I've used the modem drivers located inside the Vodafone Mobile Connect installer (I couldn't find any ZTE modem drivers on the web).

How to send sms from gsm modem(AT commands) to j2me application(not inbox)

hi
i want to send sms from gsm modem to a j2me application, for this to happen i have to send sms to a specific port in which j2me application is running.when i m trying to send sms from modem it doesnt go to application it goes to inbox.
is it related to udh settings if yes then how do i set port no in settings?if no what are the other ways.

Hi Vignesh,
Might be you can call ActiveX or DLL objects of the software installed for modem from LabVIEW, if it is unblocked.

Three ZTE MF627 Dongle

I upgraded to SL yesterday, and today picked up a Three ZTE MF627 Dongle, which I now discover is only compatible with Leopard up to 10.5.2 and so I can't install it! Any ideas as to how to overcome this, whether it is likely to be upgraded in the next few days, or is it useless?
Thanks
Andy

I've been able to get this working on my MacBook. The process I used was:
1. clean install Leopard (not Snow Leopard)
2. install dongle software and check it's all working, leave dongle plugged in
3. upgrade to Snow Leopard
3. in network preferences, delete the 3Connect location
4. switch to Automatic location and click the + button
5. add the ZTEUSBModem device
6. put phone number "*99#"
7. click advanced, select vendor "Generic", Model "GPRS (GSM/G3)", APN "3internet"
I can now connect and disconnect without using the 3connect application and it seems to be working perfectly. It has the added advantage of not messing up my network settings and requiring reboots as the awful 3connect app did.
With regards to installing on a clean or upgraded Snow Leopard, the issue will be getting the right kernel extensions into the right folders. It may be possible by exploring the files in the 3connect package and manually putting them in the right places. If anyone is desperate for this and if I have time I can try installing onto my Mac Pro and see if I have any luck.

please help me

Thanks so much; you just helped me fit together the last few pieces of this puzzle. I did a little more digging and found a [url http://support.webecs.com/KB/a375/how-do-i-configure-sql-server-express-to-allow-remote.aspx]knowledge base article that explains how to set a static TCP port. According to the article, SQL Server 2005 selects a random dynamic port on installation, and my experience bears out the fact that it does survive server reboots.
TheAvalanche wrote:
If you don't want that, make sure the SQL Server Browser service is running and connect to your SQL Server using the instance name, and not use a port in the JDBC-url.
BTW: I am not sure if jtds supports usage of the browser service, the Microsoft SQL Server JDBC drivers since version 1.2 (I think) do.It would appear that jTDS doesn't support the browser service, at least not by default, because I tried using the instance name rather than the port to connect (along with just about every other possible combination) and it didn't work. In my opinion, using a static port makes a lot more sense anyway, since you don't have to rely on the browser service, and you'll always know what port to set in your firewall exceptions. (For anyone out there wondering about firewall exceptions, in addition to the static port for the server, an exception has to be created for the browser on UDP 1434 if you're going to use it, which most programs apparently do.)
Once again, thanks for all the good information!

Sony Ericsson GM29 GSM modem - RS232

Hi all,
I have "Sony Ericsson GM29 GSM modem" connected to my PC with RS232 cable.
please tell me if someone know the port setting to use with Windows HyperTerminal ?
if it works in Windows HyperTerminal i can finish my LabView application immidiatelly.
any help appriciated.
Regards
Mor

Thanks all for your messages.
until now (3 days) i can:
* read first SMS from my GM29 gsm modem
* i figured that i need to read all "Bytes in Port" after the Write Command.
i do that in While loop, each iteration i re-query the "Bytes in Port" and
read the port until "Bytes in Port" equals to ZERO...
its work fine ONLY IF i put "Wait Until Next ms Multiple" (1000ms) inside the while loop
if i dont do that i read again the same string from the port, its "too fast" , i dont know why its behave like this.
now the problem is :
the SMS message have some format like this -
+CMGR: "REC READ","+657577575757",,"05/09/30,10:59:44+12",145,4,57,8,"+6748480032",145,64
05E605D205DD00E805D52005DE0505205DD002005DE0505E805D705D5
0205DD002005DE051002005E205DD002005DE0D4205DD0020055D505DE05D4
i gues that its UNICODE ...
so i need to convert this UNICODE to real String .....
again any help is appriciated
back to work......
Thanks.

I have a client that uses Windows that has recently told me she can no longer open the PDFs I send her. I can't find this elusive "Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" setting that I have read may solve my problem. Can someone get me there?

Dear Dan,
It was from InDesign that I was creating the shared pdfs. I was one of two Mac drivers in a corporate sea of Win users and had to make the change I mentioned in order for the Win users to see my pdfs for review. The difference from what you appear to be doing was that were all on an MS Exchange Server so the files were shared over the company's Exchange Server e-mail system. However, some of these files occasionally went to outside users via regular e-mail and those people had no issues either.
So what I did was tested and worked for years.
You might look at the Adobe forums or Knowledge Base to see if that is a reported issue with newer version of CS. I was on CS2 when I was doing this, and the other Mac driver was on CS3 but had no problems either.
Some Win users I've talked to find a problem opening some pdfs (not mine) in general and found they had to open Reader first and them open the file from Reader's File menu. That most often happened if the client was using an outdated version of Reader.

I just set up the airport wireless modem - with a comcast internet router - all wireless device connect seemlessly (3 Iphones, Mac Air, and a Sony Laptop) but my IPAD 1 no longer connects. It tries to but never connects. I have reset it and have airprot utility app downloaded on my IPAD - it shows the modem and the internet no connected?

Do you mean an Airport Extreme Base Station connected to a Comcast Modem?

MacBook Pro's wireless connectivity with ZTE 531 ADSL modem using BSNL broadband

I have tried to connect macbook pro with BSNL broadband internet connection using ZTE 531 ADSL modem. The connection using both wireless mode and ethernet mode failed repeatedly. Using the same modem, I am able to connect to internet through my Sony Viao running Windows 8 and HP630 running ubuntu (both in wireless mode and ethernet mode). I have tried the 'assist me->diagnostics' option in Macbook's network diagnostics. The first 4 indicators are green, but the remaining 2 (ISP and server) remains yellow. Repeated attempts were made by restarting the modem.
Surprisingly, the Macbook works fine with a newly purchased Dlink N150 ADSL2 modem. I have used the same WIFI settings ( as in the ZTE modem) in Dlink modem also. What could be the reason for this ?

Hello jayan_a_r,
From what you are talking about, it seems like you have done some good troubleshooting to attempt to sort it out. Try using a different Network Location as sometimes that could be an issue when trying to access the internet. Also make sure that modem is using the recommended settings for the wireless access.
Using network locations (Mac OS X v10.6 and later)

Send SMS with GSM Modems (D-Link DWM-156)

Hi
I am developing an application for GSM Modems (D-Link DWM-156) in C#.Net using AT commands. I have a problem sending English SMS. I try to send "hello", But I receive
"e2□y" in my phone or ...exept hello!
when I send "h"(one character) ,I receive correctly in my phone. but when 2 or more character for example "hello", ,I don't receive correctly in my phone.
serialPort1.DataBits = 8;
serialPort1.Parity = Parity.None;
serialPort1.StopBits = StopBits.One;
serialPort1.BaudRate = 9600;
serialPort1.PortName = comport;
serialPort1.DtrEnable = true;
serialPort1.RtsEnable = true;
serialPort1.Encoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-1");
serialPort1.Open();
serialPort1.DiscardInBuffer();
serialPort1.DiscardOutBuffer();
serialPort1.Write("AT\n");
serialPort1.Write("AT+CMGF=1\n");
serialPort1.Write("AT+CSCS=\"PCCP437\"\n");
serialPort1.Write("AT+CMGS=\"09390150369\"\n");
serialPort1.Write("hello" + "\x1A")
I replace \n with \r.but it doesn't do correct too.

This is likely because your C# strings are unicode (wide). Use one-byte strings.
