Hi Ginggs,

E173 is not decoding QoS info properly, Also auto USSD messages which sent by network not receiving it, instead of it saying bad USSD response...do i need to do some special setup? Connections management working fine! Here is the snapshot,

I'm using beta version 8, and thanks for your wonderful program!

One of the changes made in the beta was to stop trying to fix strange QoS values, basically what you see is what MDMA gets. In all cases so far, corrupt QoS values were fixed by updating the modem firmware.

Do you mean network originated USSD? None of the operators here use it, so I have never seen how it works. What information do you get? Where are you from?
 
OK me again.

I haven't used MDMA for many months being a happy Ubuntu user - but now I've got a work laptop with Windows 7 and a Cell C contract that I need to keep track of data usage on.

I'm using an on-board Dell 3G device - MDMA detects it as Novatel Wireless Incorporated - Expedite EU870D MiniCard

USSD commands work.

But data counters are not updating. Is this a limitation of this device?

Only the Huawei modems provide this information over the AT interface. Maybe one day MDMA will read the data counters from Windows RAS.
 
Thanks Graham
Good for Huawei!
Sounds like reading from Windows RAS would be a good feature to develop :D

Yup, although all the new HSPA+ modems appear as a network interface as well (NDIS mode), and some dashboards are already preferring this type of connection.
 
hi ginggs, i have tried the MDMA with "C:\Program Files\mdma.exe" /nocbm for icon 505 but still doesnt work, any help?

or maybe any driver version will work?

thanks for ur help...

best regards

Sorry, I've never seen an Option iCON 505. I've only had a report from a user that the /nocbm switch worked for them.
What I can do is add some diagnostic info to MDMA so that you can verify whether your command line switches have taken effect.
 
1.0.0.31 Beta 9 released.

Be careful with the network band setting command line options, I do not know what can happen if you attempt to enable bands your modem does not support.
That being said, I have been able to lock my E1820 to 900MHz-only and 2100MHz-only, more on that soon.

I don't see any network band option :o.

Edit: The connect option gives an error 623 cannot find phonebook entry. This has not been working since the landscape version was introduced.

I've updated the second post with some tested /HWBAND values. Newer Huawei modems report the available bands with the AT^SYSCFG=? command. Here's the output from a Huawei E1820:
Code: 
AT^SYSCFG=?

^SYSCFG:(2,13,14,16),(0-3),((2000000680380,"All Bands"),(2000000400380,"GSM900/GSM1800/W900/WCDMA2100"),(280000,"GSM850/GSM1900")),(0-2),(0-4)

OK
You can query the current band setting with the AT^SYSCFG? command:
Code: 
AT^SYSCFG?

^SYSCFG:14,2,2000000000380,1,2

OK
My E1820 is currently set to GSM900/GSM1800/UMTS900. Disabling UMTS2100 has increased my signal strength and my speeds significantly, see here.
 
Thanks for the useful update. Now I can connect my E1820 to 900 MHz or 2100 MHz at will. I can now also verify that my tower 40411 is 900 NHz and 40414 is 2100 MHz.:)

Not Hyperterminal.

e.g. 900 MHz only:
mdma.exe /hwband:2000000000380

2100 MHz only:
mdma.exe /hwband:400380

All bands (default):
mdma.exe /hwband:2000000680380

No, if you start MDMA from a command prompt, type:
Code: 
mdma.exe /hwband:400380
...or create a shortcut to mdmda.exe and then right-click on it, choose Properties, click on the Target field, press END and modify as follows:
Code: 
"<the path to where mdma is located>\mdma.exe" /hwband:400380

If you lend me your Sierra Wireless modem again, I'll see if I can do the same for it. ;)
 
From K4605 :

AT^SYSCFG?

^SYSCFG:2,0,3FFFFFFF,1,2

OK
AT^SYSCFG=?

^SYSCFG: (2,13,14,16),(0-3),((2000000400380,"GSM900/GSM1800/WCDMA900/WCDMA2100"),(4a80000,"GSM850/GSM1900/WCDMA850/WCDMA1900"),(3fffffff,"All Bands")),(0-2),(0-4)

OK

Nice for use in the USA !

If I set this modem to 900MHz UMTS only using MDMA, will it keep those settings in the MR3420 ?
