Vodafone uk huawei wvdial.conf script workin

Hi,
so far I was only able to get the UMTS modems working with wvdial.conf. The only problem is to find the correct wvdial.conf scripts for the mobile phone provider.
Here a script which I found here:
[url][http://secretlondon.livejournal.com/430709.html/url]
Worked for me with a a huaweo 169 usb stick on vodafone uk
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 3600000
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2
Init3 =
Area Code =
Phone = *99***2#
Username = ppp
Password = ppp
Ask Password = 0
Dial Command = ATDT
Stupid Mode = 1
Compuserve = 0
Force Address =
Idle Seconds = 0
DialMessage1 =
DialMessage2 =
ISDN = 0
Auto DNS = 1
Hope someone will find this information useful.

Use wvdialconf to setup an initial wvdial.conf if your wvdial.conf is the source of the problem. Otherwise look in the thread above and at my reply to that thread further down (2 more links).
I really need to setup that wiki entry on connecting to 2G/3G mobile internet - but right now uni doesn't give my any time.

Hello, new here and looking for suggestions on creating a conf script

Hi,
The current project that I am working on would like to make a java display window to be fully customizable from a conf script.
the java display window has 10 fields or so, which are updated every second. the java object passes to JNI, gets populated by C++ data, and returns back to java for display.
Now, how is one able to create a script that can modify that java window to display only certain fields, lets say 1-5.?
suggestions, or know of an area that i can look into?
thanks

First you may want to google »photoshop tutorial distresssed«.
As for combining images like that a combination of Blend If-settings (one can split the handles by alt-click-dragging them)), Layer Groups set to Blend Modes other than Pass Through and Grtadient Maps may be employed to maintain high editability.
One could also just use the images as Layer Masks for Solid Color Layers (and use Levels or Curves to get the intended contrast), though.

Pacman/Pacman.conf Scripts

I've been working on these two pieces for a while. For the most part, they're complete to my standards, but obviously they can always looked to be improved upon. I use the first one daily with no real problems (though I could add a little more error handling) and the other one does work for me though I don't need to call upon it too much.
My goal was really to provide an interface for pacman which was fast but still easy to use. I also realized that I can't write any GUI code, nor do I feel like it's nessisary to make something simple. It really only requires bash, a few coreutils, and pacman to be used, so if you're on a lower-end system and don't want to call upon a large GUI front end, this may be something good for you to try out.
Any feedback is appreciated too

Sadly my webserver is down as of now, so I can't post these scripts directly from my site, but this should work fine anyway. Enjoy!

Oh no I understand. Hah I figured that'd be the case that somebody created something like this.
Well my main point with these scripts was really just for self-teaching and such. Essentially though, my idea was to make a script which can help somebody who is newer and doesn't quite know all the helpful syntax of pacman or somebody who just doesn't want to be bothered with it have a quick and easy way to do it. Since there are already GUI front ends to do something like this, I figured a scripted version would be nicer for somebody who may need something less resource intense. That's the first script
The second script was just to make it a little less painful to navigate the pacman.conf file without having to go through it and figure out the syntax for everything (if you don't already know it) because I figured it was easier to find just a URL than to know all the syntax of the config file, and this just fills in the voids for you.
I use it for myself daily and it does make it a bit easier when you just want to install a package or update real quickly. Like I said though, I'm not surprised that there's something better implimented already. I figured I'd just toss it out there to see who could enjoy it. I appreciate the questioning though as you're right; I didn't make myself very clear-cut. At any rate, useful or not for people, they're here haha. Like I also said, I wrote these just as a learning experience for coding and other things. So, if somebody can find a use for them, all the better. If not, um, sorry to waste thread space haha.

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?

hi
I'm using a vodem on my Intel mac book and never even use the software vodafone provide as it is clunky, slow and unreliable.
i used it once to set up the connection and from then on have simply connected through system preferences:network: and connect the huawei modem from there. it even gives you the option of having an icon in your top tool bar.
hope this helps
cheers

Sorry, no modem was detected! Is it in use by another program?
Did you configure it properly with setserial?

As a result I'm stuck with Ubuntu for the time being. ;( Any help would be very appreciated.

Hi
Thanks for the advice above. Initially cleaned off original app
I removed the software application from Mac HD/Applications/Orange Mobile Partner
The kernel extension located at Mac HD/System/Library/Extensions/HuaweiDataCardDriver.kext
The modem script located at Mac HD/Library/Modem Scripts/HUAWEI Mobile Connect – 3G Modem
Then dragged the Orange MobilePartner file to the HD, selected 'Show Package Contents' and followed the advice above opening the .mpkg.
Was about to try and return the dongle, but now after several tests, am sure it works

Struggling to connect by Huawei E220 3G modem

Hey there!
I got one of those 3G modems that are quite common still where I live. Now I had it up and running perfectly fine in Ubuntu thanks to the sorcery of NetworkManager Applet 0.7.0.
I followed the instructions in the Arch wiki, but as connect I get the following output:

...but if I try to ping anything or visit a website in my browser, nada.

I tried putting this here instead but without success, however I think it's crucial that I put this somewhere:
search bredband.tre.se

nameserver 80.251.201.178
In Ubuntu NetworkManager automagically put this stuf in /etc/resolv.conf for me, but it doesn't seem to make a difference here?
Well then there's of course the /etc/wvdial.conf file:
thoht@ratatosk: ~> cat /etc/wvdial.conf

Init2 = ATZ
Init3 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
If I leave username and password empty the program gets pissed, but I don't actually have a username, nor PIN (activated).
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

About your resolv.conf copy/pasting - /etc/ppp/resolv.conf and ip-up:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=62520
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=62004
I think its time for me to add that to the wiki... if its not already there.
Thou I don't know if it solves your problem in this case, since you said you edited the resolv.conf.
EDIT: Posted too fast again. I just saw this
--> primary DNS address 80.251.192.244

Same? Purposely put different DNS? /etc/ppp/resolv.conf

Opendns with wvdial connection

Halo i've a small problem using wvdial to connect my Huawei e180 to internet, i can connect it without problem and browse the web perfectly but i would like to use the Opendns instead of my provider's one, so i've search a solution and i've found that adding in /etc/wvdial.conf the line Auto DNS = off and also in the file /etc/ppp/peers/wvdial to comment the line usepeerdns but in this way i can't browse nomore. Does anyone has a workly solution? Thanks, Marco

Don't worry that your router's LAN IP address is still in there as well. Despite appearances, the OpenDNS servers you just entered in your Mac will be accessed first. So your router won't even be asked to handle an address translation unless the two OpenDNS servers can't find it.
The DNS table in your router itself also won't matter except when the router itself is booting up. From then on your Mac will go directly to OpenDNS, find the translation it needs, and end of story. It won't ask your router, so your router won't go to the servers in its list.

Folder Actions script no longer runs on new file creation

Hope this isn't trivial.......first time posting here...hopefully in the right place.I'm not a total Mac OS X newbie...and surely no techie, either. Dabbled a wee bit with Automator and scratchin' my head on this one. Help, please!
Any idea why folder actions not running when a new file is saved? A simple add-color-label script created in Automator was workin' fine before I did a Snow Leopard-to-Leopard downgrade clean-install & account migration from external HD (TimeMachine) backup. Folder actions are enabled and script runs only if I start it with Automator Runner. Previously, it would label the file as soon as I saved it....now it needs a manual start. Is this default behavior in Leopard? Or am I missing something or doin' something wrong? Or is this a consequence of downgrade? I was sure I had the same script workin ok in my original Leopard install - though possibly un-modified at that time.
I have no clue why, but the new version I created recently (cpl wks ago?)worked the first time I added a new file but not thereafter...and in that instance it only labelled the file in Finder upon quitting Preview (file is a Grab saved as pdf).
The reason for the downgrade was compatibility problems with Photoshop CS4 on SL (OS & app all updated yet crashin' at the drop of a hat) - maybe due to lack of RAM? (only 1GB). Saw quite a few posts regarding SL running CS4 problems, so now I'm back to running 10.5.8 ..again.. and PS actually runs smooth like it did before.
Maybe these console messages are a help......or am I barkin' up the wrong tree?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Apologies if this seems long-winded.

Folder Actions are set up a bit differently in Leopard (they use an AppleScript wrapper), and several actions have been updated to use new technologies available in Snow Leopard. Looking at some of your console logs, it looks like some actions or workflows were just copied over from Snow Leopard. When changing versions like that, you should rebuild the workflows so that they link to the correct actions, and check added actions for any dependencies (an action won't be loaded if it requires resources that are not available).
Resaving your Folder Action workflow as a Folder Action Plug-in should do the trick.

[Solved] PCMCIA gprs/edge and wvdial, don't work

Hi all...
I have bought a pcmcia gprs/edge Lightspeed EDGE-100M, but don't work.
I load the modules pcmcia, pcmcia_core, rsrc_nonstatic, yenta_socket (I have found they whit hwdetect --show-pcmcia).
PCMCIA it comes recognized like ttyS0.
I run wvdial but I got "Modem not responding".
I have also added line "options usb_serial vendor=0x0279 product=0x950b" into /etc/modprobe.conf but I don't got any results.
Thanks

[wvdial, ppp] ATDT invalid dial command

Strange problem. I can't go on the internet since I made a pacman -Su. There's a problem with ppp or something in the arch configuration (modules??).
I have a serial external hardware modem that had always worked easily, BUT now wvdial cannot connect. The problem does not come from wvdial, I'm pretty sure of that.
[root@myhost fred]# wvdial

The only error I had doing the update was when compiling the new kernel26 (standard from arch). I had to remove "kermaps" in my mkinitcpio.conf because the hook keymaps was not found. After removing that, while keeping the old settings (my old mkinitcpio was not replaced during process, it made a .pacnew), everything went well.
Except now wvdial doesn't work. I have the same rc.conf than before, the same mkinitcpio was used and it keeped the same ppp settings or the wvdial.conf. Everything I could look at is like before except it's more up to date and my kernel is also newer, I have the last one, kernel26 package.
I tried all that :
-Reinstalling wvdial, wvstreams and ppp and deleting all config files in /etc/ppp, reinstalling them or replacing them with working ubuntu config files
-Deleting and rebuilding /etc/wvdial.conf, adding stupid mode on... but this file was not modified in process and it had always worked for me anyway...
-Tried to add in wvdial.conf DIAL COMMAND = ATDP (for pulse dialing) but it changed nothing
-tried rebulding the kernel with more options like (can't remember the exact name) adding the ppp module in mkinitcpio

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

[SOLVED] USB 3G no longer works after upgrade to GNOME 3.8

I did the 'big' update today, including upgrading to GNOME 3.8. Unfortunately, NetworkManager no longer picks up my 3G USB modem (which used to work fine before the update). Any pointers as to how I could debug this would be greatly appreciated.
wvdial has never really worked for me, but gnome networkmanager used to pick up my device and the connection, and now simply acts as if it's no longer present. Attempting to follow the instructions on the wiki to re-setup my USB stick (the instructions I followed in the first place) no longer works. Did today's update cause the same problem for anybody else?
**Update: After updating today to modemmanager 0.7.990-4 and running
sudo systemctl enable ModemManager
sudo systemctl start ModemManager
I have full connectivity again with the built-in DW5550 mobile broadband card in my Dell Precision M6600 (including showing signal strength in the GNOME 3.8 top bar, etc). Thanks all for the help, and (most importantly) to whoever fixed up modemmanager!

wvdial might also be a workaround, if one does not like to downgrade. In my case, I had to unset my PIN on the SIM card first. One can do that using a mobile phone, for example.
Then
# pacman -S wvdial
in /etc/wvdial.conf, I put
[Dialer Defaults]
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
ISDN = 0
Stupid Mode = 1
Dial Attempts = 3
Init1 = ATZ
[Dialer huawei]
Modem = /dev/serial/by-id/usb-ZTE_Incorporated_1_1_Surf-stick_MF19001MOD010000-if02-port0
Baud = 115200
[Dialer voda]
Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","web.vodafone.de"
[Dialer dial]
Phone=*99**1#
Username = umts
Password = umts
You can find out your modem name by looking it up with
ls /dev/serial/by-id/
In my case there were names containing the strings if00, if01 and if02, and if02 turned out to be the correct one. This depends on hardware.
Also, in the "Init 3" line, you may have to replace "web.vodafone.de" according to your provider. The section "dial" seems to be quite universal from what I read on the web, so you may not have to change that.
then
# wvdial huawei voda dial
and hope for the best.
Disclaimer: I do not have a comprehensive understanding of what I did here, but it worked in my case and it might work for you, too.
I noticed that the Defaults section makes a difference, because the one I just edited in above avoids some delay in dialing.

and here's what happens if I try using netctl:
# netctl start mobily
$ netctl status mobily

seems that where netctl status says active it is actually refering to previous wvdial uptime.

If it provides 3G via the the USB port than the answer is no. The iPad doe not have a real USB port. The USB dongle for the camera connection kit only imports photos and videos from a limited number of devices.

[solved] Using a phone as a 3G modem

Hi!
I have a Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and I'm trying to use it as a 3g modem with my laptop.
I went to the appropriate wiki page, installed usb_modeswitch and wvdial packages. When I plug in the phone via a USB cable, the lsusb command shows the following output:
Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

When I try to run wvdialconf as root I get:
Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'.
Scanning your serial ports for a modem.

Sorry, no modem was detected! Is it in use by another program?
Did you configure it properly with setserial?
Please read the FAQ at http://alumnit.ca/wiki/?WvDial
When I try running usb_modeswitch manually I get this:
[javadyan@optimus-prime ~]$ sudo usb_modeswitch -v 0421 -p 0156 -H

Sending Huawei control message ...
OK, Huawei control message sent
-> Run lsusb to note any changes. Bye.
But with no apparent result. I also tried passing -S, -O and -G options to usb_modeswitch but none of these worked.
I think there has to be some kind of workaround because I managed to get 3g working earlier on linux mint with the same laptop and phone.
Can anyone help me with this?

Ok, never mind. I switched the phone to PC suite mode while connecting, and looked at the last few lines in /var/log/messages.log. Surprisingly, the modem showed up in /dev/ttyACM0:
usb 2-3: USB disconnect, address 7
usb 2-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8
usb 2-3: USB disconnect, address 8
usb 2-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 9
cdc_acm 2-3:1.1: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
Then I ran wvdialconf, edited the config manually to enter my mobile service provider specific settings, fired up wvdial, and voila, I have access to mobile internet. Thanks for the help anyway. Cheers!
