MDMA rundown
Hi guys.
I have not gotten my hands on a modem yet so I could never Fig out if it would work with MDMA but seems its working fine, Thanks to feet.
So if you want to know how good your signal is, or see what tower your connecting to you can load this app.( Make sure your modem is connected via usb)
First download the app from http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthr...amp-USSD-amp-Monitors-Signal-Strength-Windows ( Thanks to gings!)
Now run down of stuff you might want to know
1.Now before you open the mdma.exe make sure you don't have other app's using the modem or you will get this error.
2.This shows how strong you signal is, the lower it is the beter signal you have. Anything under 80 dbm is good(for both 3G and EDGE)
3.This is just to show you who's Operator your using .
4.Now this shows you if your on 3G or edge ( this goes with the Signal part) If this is on EDGE it will show your EDGE in the signal bar if its on 3G it will show your 3G signal.
5.Next up is you CellID (towerID).This is a good way to check what tower gives good speeds, what tower gives crappy speed and also if you want to ask mtn where the tower is located or you have a problem with that tower just use that ID.
6.Here is the Connection Type. Mine is on 3g Preferred because I have good signal but if yours is jumping from 3G to EDGE or if it does not want to pickup 3G just select 3G only and hit apply. This will also force the modem to the 3G network ( if there is one).
7. (Careful) If you want to reset the device to factory default, press the "reset device" button on MDMA. This will reset all the settings to default.
Last thing guys. For thoses who does not know, when you are on 3G you will get pings around 400ms to local servers(using stuff like pingtest.net) Is not a valid way to test your ping. You see the modem needs to go over to HSDPA and the only way it will is when there is enough DATA moving. You can use speedtest.net. This will force the tower to give your modem HSDPA then you will see your pings.Tracert will also not work.
Just to show you I have done a ping test and a speed test.Also my ping test via CMD.
