MacOSX Excessively High CPU utilization of Mobile Partner

HI there,

Any other MacOSX user noticed the excessively high CPU utilization of the VMCLite/MobileConnect software on MacOSX??

My email to Vodacom Customer care:
=======================

Hi there

I've noticed that the use of Mobile Partner 11.300.08.00.03 (with the K3715 VMCLite 9.3.3.10523) draining a lot of battery power from both my MacAir and MacBookPro 17" (Both first generation) as well as slowed down the systems to semi unusable states.

This I've noticed on Vodacom, MTN Nigeria, and Orange Switzerland and Liechtenstein APNs.

While tracking it today, I've found the problem not to be related to the K3715, as I've tested the Mobile connect even with a E220, and when I started the Activity Monitors, I've noticed that there are high laods related to kernel threads associated with the MobileConnect software.

I've then make a test by initiating the connection *without* the MobileConnect software, and immediately noticed that my CPUs are idle again, while surfing normally. This is both with a K3715 and a E220.

To confirm the MobileConnect software being the guilty party, I started it *after* I've initiated a 3G session, and *immediately* the CPU utilization sky rocketed and my legs got burned again by the heat

Thus, I've isolated the MobileConnect software to be excessively utilizing the CPU and draining the battery.

Question: Where and how can I request a updated software that does NOT have such an High CPU utilization???

IMEI Number: *************
Firmware: 11.104.05.00.00
Hardware Version: CD82TCPU VER.B
Model: K3715
Serial Number: dh5tab1930******

Using PrePaid SIMs whenever I'm in SA: *************

Why don't you just flash your modem with the generic Huawei software?

'Cause it's the "default" Huawei software on the device that's the problem??

Anycase, I've searched and couldn't find any newer version of the software on Huawei's site for the K3715 device

That vodafone software really sucks, I hate using the e220 on my mac because it means installing that piece of crap.

Snow leopard might support 3G modems out the box though... hopefully.
