Ross Barkman's Home Page Ross Barkman's Home Page Pintware My scripts and other files aren't shareware - you can use them for free. However, several people have asked if there's anything they can send me as thanks for helping out with various scripts and modem/phone issues. Normally I'd say, 'Buy me a beer', but since the Mac community is global, that's not really practical. So I've adopted the 'Pintware' concept pioneered by Turly O'Connor for his wonderful utility. If my scripts are of use to you and you'd like to say 'Thanks', you can make a donation to buy me a pint or two through PayPal by clicking the 'Thanks, Ross' button below. Just pay whatever you think is reasonable. Download Instructions READ THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE DOWNLOADING: These scripts only work with Apple Remote Access (OS 9 & earlier), Internet Connect (OS X) and other programs that use the Apple Connection Control Language.
If you use AOL or FreePPP, you need to enter the modem initialisation strings yourself. Gives instructions on how to do it. The files are Zip or Stuffit archives some with BinHex (text) encoding. For Stuffit archives, you will need to decode and expand them to their normal size. These are HTTP downloads (the server doesn't support anonymous FTP), so they may appear as 'garbage' text in your browser window, particularly with some older browsers.
If that happens, just wait until the page completes downloading, save the completed 'page' as a text file on your desktop (using File:Save As. In your browser), then drag'n'drop it onto Expander, or run Expander and open the file. Modem Scripts Modified Modem Scripts for Apple Internal Modems (262kB): - Updated Feb 2001 to add extra speed options and reorganise Read Me file (too many people missing the instructions at the bottom).
These scripts overcome problems with 3Com-based ISPs to permit V.90 (over 33.6k) connections, and allow you to limit the connect speed to any V.90 rate from 34.6k to 50k for added reliability. These will work with the PowerBook G3 Series, the B&W G3s, G4s, iMacs and any later Mac with an Apple V.90 modem up to late 2001. Macs from then onwards have a USB internal modem (I have a few scripts for those if anyone needs them, but the recent modem firmware doesn't seem to have the same problems). Dramatic speed improvements are unlikely with any recent Mac modems, or any which have been upgraded with Apple Modem Upgrader 2, since the firmware from V2.300 (check with Apple System Profiler) onward is better than the original versions. However, the speed-limiting scripts may still be useful if you get frequent disconnections. Script for D-Link 56k PC Cards (6kB): - based on info for the DMF560TX Ethernet/Modem card, but apparently works with other D-Link cards. Mobile Phone Scripts Before using the mobile phone scripts below, check that your airtime provider has enabled data access for your phone - many networks disable it by default.
If data access is not enabled, you will always get a 'no carrier' result from Remote Access. This also applies to GPRS/3G/HSDPA service - you may have to request GPRS/3G/HSDPA access, or even get a new SIM card to use it. It is possible to use these scripts with Bluetooth or infrared (IrDA) connections, or with some USB cables (but not most Nokia or Sony Ericsson cables, other than Nokia's CA-42 cable). Motorola's USB cable works fine on 10.3 or later. There is also a driver for the Prolific and FTDI chipsets that are used in many 'generic' USB cables (see below) Alternatively, you can use a serial cable and a USB-to-serial adapter Provided the phone has an internal 'modem', the script doesn't care if the phone is connected using infrared, Bluetooth or a cable. Warning for GPRS/3G/HSDPA users: if you get connected, but no traffic seems to flow, try turning off TCP header compression (Remote Access:Options:Protocol in OS 9, Network Preferences:PPP:PPP Options in OS X up to 10.4, Network Preferences:Advanced:PPP:Configuration in 10.5 onward). Many networks do not support this feature.
Warning for OS X and GPRS/3G/HSDPA: one of OS X's default settings causes problems with many networks. If you get disconnections after only a few seconds, turn off 'Send PPP echo packets' in Network Preferences:PPP:PPP Options (up to 10.4) or Network Preferences:Advanced:PPP:Configuration (10.5 onward).
Motorola Phones Scripts for Motorola GSM phones with internal modems (36kB): - Updated Feb. 2002: complete re-write, plus a fix for problems with the T250. These scripts work with all Motorola GSM models.
They will not work with any non-GSM phones, as they use GSM-specific commands. Scripts for Motorola GPRS phones (90kB): - Updated May 2004: Add check for use of.99 instead of the APN, various other tweaks and improved ReadMe.
These scripts are for Motorola models supporting GPRS for 'always-on' Internet access. You can get information on the correct settings for most networks.
Scripts for Motorola 3G (EDGE/UMTS) phones (19kB): - First release May 2004. These scripts are for any Motorola models supporting EDGE or UMTS '3G' technologies for 'always-on' Internet access. You can get information on the correct settings for most networks. Scripts for Motorola 3.5G (HSDPA) phones (19kB): - First release Dec 2006.
These scripts are for any Motorola models supporting HSDPA technologies for high-speed 'cellular broadband' Internet access. You can get information on the correct settings for most networks.
Script for Motorola iDEN phones (11kB): - Updated Mar. 2003: Increased port speed and configure for blind dialling, improved ReadMe. This script should work with most iDEN models. Note that, unless you have used the iDEN as a wireless modem with other devices, e.g.
A Palm, and you know for sure that data dial-up calls are enabled, you should check with Nextel to make sure that feature is activated. Script for Motorola CDMA phones (4kB): - First release. This script should work with most Motorola CDMA models. Generic Script for Motorola phones (3kB): - First release.
This script uses a very 'generic' init string, and should work with most non-GSM Motorola models. USB Driver for Motorola phones: Rob McKeever wrote an OS 9 USB driver for the P280 phone, which also works with the V66 and other Motorola phones with USB capability. His mac.com page has disappeared, but I've posted a copy. Sony Ericsson and Ericsson Phones (and Philips Fisio) Scripts for Sony Ericsson GPRS phones (36kB): - Updated Dec 2006 to improve error handling (overcoming a bug in 10.4 that doesn't display error messages). These scripts work with Sony Ericsson and Ericsson GPRS models as well as Philips Fisio (which is made by Ericsson). You can get information on the correct GPRS settings for most networks. Scripts for Sony Ericsson 3G (EDGE/UMTS) phones (41kB): - Jan 2005: additional CIDs added.
These scripts work with Sony Ericsson EDGE and UMTS models - they are basically the same as my GPRS scripts, but have a faster serial speed so that the Mac-to-phone link is not a bottleneck. You can get information on the correct settings for most networks - UMTS and GPRS details seem to be the same for most networks. Scripts for (Sony) Ericsson GSM and HSCSD phones (65kB): - First release June 2002. These scripts should work with any Ericsson and Sony-Ericsson HSCSD models, and the Philips Fisio also. The package also includes two standard GSM scripts. OS X now comes with 'Ericsson T39' scripts that do the same job, so I probably won't update these further.
Script for Ericsson DC23 Mobile Interface PC Card (5kB): - untested; I'd appreciate any feedback. Nokia Phones Scripts for Nokia GSM phones (38kB): - Updated Feb. 2003 with a new flow-control setting (+IFC=3,1) that works with current models; the original scripts are still in the package, since the new versions may not work with older models including the 6310 (which used +IFC=2,0). These scripts avoid known errors in the original Apple 'Nokia Infrared' script that caused problems with the 7110 and most later phones, including an inability to send large emails. They work with most Nokia models. If you have a Communicator 9110, it doesn't work with my scripts. There is an official Nokia script.
If you are using OS 10.1.x, the Nokia Infrared script in it doesn't work. This is because it is based on the older OS 9 script which has an error in it.
Either copy the OS 9 Nokia Infrared script (from System Folder/Extensions/Modem Scripts) to OS X (Library/Modem Scripts), or use my scripts. Thanks to Jonathan Browne for this tip. Scripts for Nokia HSCSD phones (87kB): - Updated Feb. 2003 with a new flow-control setting that works with the 6310i, and to build in the ability to disable compression (eliminating the need for separate no-compression scripts).
The original scripts are still in the package, since the new command may not work with older models including the 6310. These scripts allow HSCSD models to connect at HSCSD speeds. It appears that most GSM networks where HSCSD is available don't support 43.2k, but 28.8k works. It's all to do with the speed of the data channels (9.6 or 14.4), the number of channels they will allow you to use (4 or 6 total) and how they are split between receive and transmit (2 and 2 or 3 and 1, for example).
The V.110 and V.120 (ISDN-type) scripts can report connect speeds of up to 56k - I'm not sure how realistic those are, and I suspect the real speed is still 28.8 or 43.2k. If you have a Communicator 9210, you have to open the 9210, go to the Extras - Faxmodem application, set it to Infrared and activate it there. You cannot activate Infrared with the Communicator closed via the phone menus like you do on other Nokia phones (thanks to Marcel Hochuli for this info). Scripts for Nokia 3.5G (HSDPA) phones (26kB): - First release Jul. These scripts should work with all current Nokia HSDPA models. They support speeds up to 3.6 Mbit/s.
You can get information on the correct settings for most networks. Scripts for Nokia 3G (EDGE/UMTS) phones (17kB): - Updated Aug. 2006 to overcome an Apple bug with error message reporting. These scripts should work with all current Nokia 3G models. They are the same as my GPRS scripts, but with a faster serial link speed so that the Mac-phone link does not limit throughput. You can get information on the correct settings for most networks.
Scripts for Nokia GPRS phones (73kB): - Updated May. 2004 with a few minor tweaks and an improved ReadMe. These scripts should work with all current Nokia GPRS models. The previous scripts are still in the package, since the new versions do not work with older models including the 6310. You can get information on the correct GPRS settings for most networks. Scripts for Nokia CDMA Phones (4kB): - Updated Jul 2007 to add support for higher speeds. This set offers circuit-switched, 2G packet and 3G packet options.
The first is for traditional dial-up, the others are for network-based Internet access. Script for Nokia TDMA Phones (4kB): - a fairly 'generic' script, based on the GSM scripts above but without the GSM-specific commands. It should work on most Nokia phones, regardless of network type. Siemens Phones Scripts for Siemens GSM & HSCSD phones (20kB): - updated Sep. 2003 to correct an issue with the S55. Scripts for Siemens GPRS phones (72kB): - updated Sep. 2003 to correct an issue with the S55.
Note that it is better to use my Generic GPRS scripts (see below) with recent Siemens models. You can get information on the correct GPRS settings for most networks. Windows Smartphones & BlackBerrys Scripts for Windows Mobile phones (12kB): - Fourth release - Adds HSDPA speeds. This script allows phones that use Windows Mobile software, such as the iPAQ, Qtek, HTC and several others, to be used as a modem by the Mac.
It allows GSM dial-up connections or GPRS/3G/HSDPA (but cannot change the GPRS/3G/HSDPA settings in the phone). Scripts for BlackBerry GPRS/3G (27kB): - First release. These scripts only work with GPRS/EDGE/UMTS BlackBerry models released from mid-2006, such as the 8100 - these models are quoted as supporting 'tethered' mode. Basically, these newer models have built-in modem capability, unlike earlier ones that rely on the BlackBerry Windows software to handle modem commands. Generic Scripts - work with many phones (incl. Samsung, LG) Generic HSDPA Scripts (20kB): - First Release Jul.
These non-specific scripts should work with most HSDPA phones and PC Cards - they are a further speed evolution from the 3G scripts below, supporting a serial speed of 1.8 Mbit/s. They contain the bare minimum of set-up and configuration commands, in the hope that the phone's defaults will deal with the rest. You can get information on the correct settings for most networks.
Generic 3G Scripts (31kB): - Updated Feb. 2007 to add extra options, including PIN support. These non-specific scripts should work with most EDGE and UMTS phones and PC Cards (they are the same as the GPRS scripts below, just with a faster serial port speed to avoid limiting the potential performance of 3G networks). They contain the bare minimum of set-up and configuration commands, in the hope that the phone's defaults will deal with the rest. You can get information on the correct settings for most networks.
Generic GPRS Scripts (44kB): - Fist Release Jan 2005. These non-specific scripts should work with most GPRS phones. They contain the bare minimum of set-up and configuration commands, in the hope that the phone's defaults will deal with the rest.
You can get information on the correct settings for most networks. Generic Mobile Phone Scripts (9kB): - Fourth release, creating a range of scripts for different serial port speeds And updating the ReadMe; should work with most phones, whether GSM, CDMA or TDMA. These scripts use minimal set-up and configuration commands, and leave the rest to the phone's defaults.
They may well report false connect speeds like 19200 or 230400 - do not trust the reported speed! Other Phones and Phone-Related Items Scripts for Panasonic GSM and GPRS Phones (39kB): - first release, for the GD87 and similar models. You can get information on the correct GPRS settings for most networks. Script for Samsung Phones (3kB): - generic script for normal dial-up operation (not GPRS or 1xRTT).
Script for Kyocera CDMA phones (4kB): - apparently works fine. Information for Palm Treos: The following information is relevant to Treo PalmOS models - if you have a a Windows Mobile Treo, use the Windows Mobile scripts above. With the PalmOS models, you need to change the Treo to 'tethered' mode. You do that by dialling on the Treo itself either #.83843733 (#.TETHERED) for GSM/GPRS Treos or ##83843733 for CDMA Treos.
That then 'disconnects' the Treo's sync function from the serial port; the same code re-connects when you're finished, so you can sync again. Then try my Generic GPRS scripts for GSM/GPRS Treos or Generic Phone scripts for CDMA Treos (see above for these scripts). Phonebook editing and backup: Software to download, edit and upload the phonebooks and other SIM card and phone memory contents of a number of phone models is available from,. There is also Ericsson-specific software from. Generic USB Cable Drivers: Information from a reader who prefers anonymity - many thanks: 'Most cellphone cables sold for the PC market do not come with Mac drivers. But the majority of them are based on the PL-2303 USB-Serial chipset manufactured by in Taiwan.
In most cases the Apple System Profiler will list a device called 'PL2303', although MacOS X itself won't recognise the cable. There are different chipsets of course, but the PL2303 seems to be widely used in cheaper cables. 'The manufacturer does actually have drivers for Mac OS on. I have verified that this driver works fine and it works with most (cheap) USB-serial or USB-phone cables sold at shopping malls throughout the world.' I've also encountered cables, such as those provided by LG, that use the FTDI chipset; the generic drivers are.
Other Useful Files READ THE DOWNLOAD NOTES AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE CAREFULLY BEFORE DOWNLOADING OS 9 & X US Keyboard layouts with Caps Lock disabled (6kB): - If you're a PowerBook user, you'll know how easy it is to tap the Caps Lock key accidentally and look up TO FIND YOU'VE BEEN SHOUTING FOR HALF OF THE SENTENCE. This keyboard layout disables the effect of the Caps Lock key so that it is irrelevant - the green LED will come on, but it will have no effect.
This goes a bit further than some of the standard keyboard hacks, which often forget to disable option-CapsLock (annoying if you use accented characters, etc.). BE WARNED - this only disables the effect of Caps Lock, it doesn't disable the key itself. Some software still checks the Caps Lock setting when looking for hotkey combinations - e.g. Norton FileSaver, where key combinations (like Opt-Cmd) can bypass or activate certain functions.
If Caps Lock is set, that makes a different combination (like CapsLock-Opt-Cmd) which will have either no effect or a different effect. Took me ages to figure out why FileSaver was ignoring me some of the time. OS 9 & X British Keyboard layout with Caps Lock disabled (6kB): - Same as the above, but for the British keyboard layout (shift-3 = £ instead of #). OS 9 & X New Zealand Keyboard layouts (8kB): - As a dedicated Kiwi, I was annoyed by having the US flag on my menu bar since I have a US keyboard (no offence to US citizens, but it's not my homeland).
So I created versions of the standard and no-CapsLock US keyboards with an NZ flag instead of Old Glory. OK, this is a bit sad & pathetic, but humour me. Anyway, Apple do the same with their 'Australian' keyboard layout - as far as I can see, it's identical to the US one, with only a cosmetic flag change. OS 9 & X Catalan Keyboard layouts (8kB): - For Catalan users who have the Spanish ISO keyboard but are not so keen on the Spanish flag. Updated Feb 2011 with slight changes to the Llegiu-me files. OS X Galician Keyboard layout (3.6kB): - For Galician users who have the Spanish ISO keyboard but are not so keen on the Spanish flag.
OS 9 & X Confederate Flag Keyboard layouts (8kB): - For those from the deep South who prefer a slightly different flag on their menu bar. OS 9 & X French Numeric Keyboard layout (5kB): - For anyone with the French AZERTY keyboard who is annoyed at having to press Shift to type numbers (spreadsheet users?). This keyboard layout uses the Caps Lock key to swap the case of the upper row of keys - while Caps Lock is on, the top row gives numbers unshifted and the normal characters when Shift is pressed. Thanks to Laurent Casado for suggesting this one. Contact Information Stoke Newington, London, UK You can contact me using the form below - don't forget your email address, and be very careful to type it correctly, or I won't be able to respond. If you're reporting a problem or asking a question, please, please tell me what Mac you have, what OS you're using, and (where relevant) what external modem, PC Card modem or mobile phone you're trying to get working.
Also, please tell me what the problem is - if you just fill in the details of your phone and system but don't ask a question, I'll assume you're just reporting a successful combination, and I won't respond. Also, please bear in mind that I do this for free, and I only have limited time to deal with your questions.
Spend some time reading the information on this page and in the Read Me files in the download packages, and experimenting with the scripts that seem appropriate for your phone. Do not expect to see your specific model listed - in general, all phones for each manufacturer work the same, so the same script works with them. So, if you ask 'I've got a MacBook and a Sony Ericsson V600i, how do I get onto the Internet?'
That's lazy, when there are quite clearly Sony Ericsson scripts on this site. It occupies the limited time I have available to support people who have real problems, and assumes that, since you don't have time to waste on working things out, you'll just waste mine instead.
Also, READ THE README FILE that comes with most script sets. Sorry to be so blunt, but I get a lot of emails, and about a third of them are from people who simply haven't bothered to even look at what is available on this page. And another third haven't read the ReadMe files. Please try to experiment a bit first. But if you've downloaded and tried some scripts, and nothing works, or you can't see anything about your phone manufacturer, or you're just completely lost, I'm happy to help. Fields marked with. must be filled in.

Using a Huawei E170 (T-Mobile Web 'n' Walk USB Stick) with Mac OS X Leopard My mobile contract recently expired and instead of upgrading with a new mobile phone I chose the Huawei E170 T-Mobile Web 'n' Walk Stick. They seemed a bit confused at this request at first and had to 'speak to their superiors' but eventually agreed that there was no reason that I shouldn't be sent the USB Stick. This means I can add on the Web 'n' Walk Plus or Max packages as and when I need them at the discounted rates when using them as add ons. To get the USB Stick to work with Mac OS X Leopard though you'll will need to do a few things for yourself as the Web 'n' Walk stick manager software crashed repeatedly when I tried to use it to connect. Here are the steps:.
Plug the Web ‘n’ Walk stick into your mac. Open System Preferences and then ‘Network’. You should see a message about new connection devices (I think two are added for some reason: ‘DIAG’ and ‘HUAWEI Mobile’). Select the 'HUAWEI Mobile' device in the left column. Enter.99# into ‘Telephone Number’.
Click ‘Apply’ and then ‘Connect’ You should now be connected using your modem. Simple really! I actually noticed once connected you can open the Web 'n' Walk stick manager software to monitor the connection. Considering it's this simple I think its a bit misleading that T-Mobile say the device isn't supported on Leopard.
Feel free to share your experiences below in case there are other issues. Comments. thanks for the info.
Just got my stick today. I'm using OS X 10.4 and the supplied software kept crashing for me as soon as I loaded it too. After entering the phone number in network prefs, the web 'n' walk manager no longer crashes at startup, but still crashes when I try to connect. Oki c3600n driver for mac. It seems however that just using Apple's built in internet connect is all that is needed to fix the problem!
The web 'n' walk manager will show the connection statistics fine though. We are still missing out on the SMS capabilities and other bandwidth monitoring tools that come with the windows version. I wonder if there is a 3rd party replacement? The guy in the shop told me that there was some free texts (50 per month?) included in the contract, so it seems Mac users are being deprived here! 4 Apr 08 17:01 Tom. Interesting - yeah thats pretty much what I discovered. Something odd has happened with my installation though now - I think I might have somehow managed to uninstall the stick manager so that I can't even try and open it.
I just says it has been uninstalled and needs to be re-installed. I did this and then opened it - and this time it seemed to work, even connecting. Yeah would be good if someone came up with a 3rd party replacement.
There is a version on the t-mobile website which was newer than the version on the cd-rom, this might have had something to do with it. You can get it from www.t-mobile.co.uk/datacardhelp - hopefully they will post an updated version there in due course. 5 Apr 08 0:36 the. Just noticed you said you were using 10.4 - thats odd that it shows the same problems as in leopard - sounds like typical dodgy software we get fobbed off with with these types of things!
5 Apr 08 0:38 the. Drawing for macbook pro. Yeah it seems like T-mobile contracted it out on the cheap, there are even two different versions of the manual, the one on the mobile and the one on the stick. Clearly poorly translated from Chinese.
Oh one other thing I remember I also had to do to get it to work, which was to change the modem script in the network prefs to the correct Huawei one and not the default Apple one that was selected. And I had to look up on another website what the default PIN code was for the SIM, because they didn't even tell me that.
Oh well at least it does seem to give a reasonable speed once it's finally possible to connect. 6 Apr 08 16:20 Tom. How many bars of signal are you getting? I have had some impressive results in terms of speed at my home in Exeter - it gets full signal and says its operating on HSDPA (which it should be) and gets a few kb's under the 2mbs download (testing from speedtest.net) and around 380kbs upload speed. Both of which are faster than my ADSL broadband line! However, I've noticed the download speed seems to drop to about 300kbs if the signal is as low as 1 bar (still HSDPA), but with two bars it goes up to 422kpbs.
Seems like it likes to have a good strong signal to get the best speeds. 6 Apr 08 21:14 the. Hi, you might want to have a look at launch2net (www.launch2net.com). It is not free, but might be a better allround solution if you need to use other SIM cards in different countries or need a better statistic. It works with most networks and modems worldwide. Cheers Jan (nova media) 7 Apr 08 4:30. Thanks Jan - I tried the demo and all seems to work very well.
It's a bit expensive for me though. Guess it would be nice to see SMS support in there too. 7 Apr 08 6:18 the.
Hi Jan, Thanks for the tip - was getting very frustrated trying to get my new Web n Walk to start up earlier. I've now saved the settings as a location on my mac and if you switch to this when you want to use the stick you can use the Stick Manager without it crashing. 8 Apr 08 8:18 damien. I'm north of Glasgow just now, getting two bars, and about 300-400kbps up and down - not too bad. A bit of latency sometimes it seems, but results are fairly typical. I'll mainly be using it in Edinburgh where the signal strength seems better though!
9 Apr 08 6:39 Tom. Hi, i just had to say thanks for posting this info, i just bought the same usb stick encountered all the same 'quitting' issues, rang support helpline - told it was compatible, downloaded driver update still no joy. Found your info applied settings as instructed - perfetto e tutto bene! Grazie mille tutto 12 Apr 08 3:29 Azzurri. Very useful information.
Thanks!P.S Your blog won't accept my.co.uk email address 4 Jun 08 8:32 Ben. Sorry about the email verification - I've replaced the script - its failed a few now but the new one shouldn't cause any problems.
4 Jun 08 8:38 the. I have tried the web n walk stick on my Macbook Pro. There dosent seem to be enough power in the USB ports to power the modem and as soon as it connects it drops the device and then says it can't find the device. Sometimes it comes back up and you can reconnect and other times you have to remove and reconnect the device. T-mobile were very helpful but they say the USB modem version carries a usb splitter to combine the power of two ports but the USB stick dosent. This would not be a benifit to MBP anyway because it only has one USb on each side of the laptop. Ended up sending it back.
5 Jul 08 1:10 Paul Dresser. Its great to have forums like this as it saves alot time effort and money in ringing up the manufacturer (T mobile) everytime something is not working on your internet or even phone for that matter. 28 Jul 08 18:13 dharmesh kapadia. If you are having trouble with the official software (I found it doesn't keep a log of data used) you may get on better with CheetaWatch (It's a small app that keeps an eye on connection type/speed and seems stable. 29 Jul 08 14:42.
You can get a t-mobile branded version of launch2net free from the tmobile site. A lot easier than seting everything up! 3 Aug 08 5:30 Steve. Once I'd found the special characters palette I was up and away using internet connect. Thanks indeed! So far so good running on my MacBookPro off USB port. 3 Aug 08 14:59 Jeremy Knowles.
Hi all, I've had all the issues mentioned previously, I have even had an issue with Safari not connecting although Firefox did. A pal explained Firefox holds it's proxies. These issue have all been sorted but I experience pixelating on images and graphics.
My partner has a PC and downloaded the T-Mobile web accelerator which fixed this issue, can anyone help resolve this on Mac. 11 Aug 08 5:31. @ D Carrington - see my related article on the t-mobile image compression issue, link is in the 'related articles' section at the top of the page. 11 Aug 08 6:04 the. I got one last week went into the shop they checked my post code told me i had excellent coverage where i lived. Got home set it up tried connecting couldnt because it couldnt find a signal wtf!
Tried it in the garden got 12% signal gprs very slow indeed there assholes and there's my old sony ericsson k800i on orange with full 3g signal and they cant even provide decent 2g signal absolute waste of time and now i have 18 months with them! Argh 30 Aug 08 17:12. I have been using my web n walk happily for some months now on my MacBook, but just now I can't connect to anything that is on port 8080. I am sure that this has worked happily in the past.
Has anyone else experienced anything similar, or have any ideas what I can do? 2 Sep 08 3:45 Mark Seaborne. Web n walk worked okay for me with Tiger until the system crashed (first time after five years using OS X this has happened, as far as I can remember) then it lost its settings, and then would not connect at all. Have just installed launch2net, which I had bought previously for a different PC card modem, and this seems to connect fine. 6 Sep 08 9:50 Lee Hanken.
Note to Jamie. Take the stick back. You placed reliance on the seller's advice that the stick would be usable at your postcode and it does not. This is a clear case of fitness for purpose - it does nto match the purpose for which you needed it and the seller assured you it would.

10 Sep 08 5:46 John. Thanks for your help with this. On a related issue, every time I plug the USB modem in it acts like a memory stick and opens a folder with the web'n'walk installation app and user manual. Any ideas as to how to stop this happening?
23 Sep 08 17:33 David S. Do you know of the same problems regarding the E160 Huawei on t-mobiles web n walk deal? I having problems using the software provided it connects but seems to take over a min or longer to get to any webpage.
Tried the tip you mentioned for the E170 but states the modem isn;t connecting via the macconnect panel.Any ideas anyone? 4 Dec 08 23:36 Benn.
upgrade e170 in the web of huawei.com, it work better than tmobile driver 14 Dec 08 0:49 franck. I have been having problems with this USB stick on OSX - the modem works fine using the settings provided here - logs on quickly - no problem, but it seems the stick starts to fail after about 20 to 30 minutes and refuses to log back on - i might be lucky and get another minute or two but then drops again. It seems like its overheating or something - the stick does get quite hot to the touch. Has anyone else experienced this? Btw - the exact same thing happens on my partner's mbp as well.
Any solutions would be greatly received. 3 Feb 09 12:38 Rob D. I've had the same problem, have managed to make the E170 last longer by using the USB cable as opposed to plugging it directly into my mbp. I'm sure its an overheating issue.! 9 Feb 09 18:03 Frank S. Whilst i have not got a mac i have to say that the Huawei E160 G mobile broadband modem that i treated my grandson to last week nearly caught fire!! He was using it in a Acer laptop with no power supply plugged into it and the 'stick' got so hot it nearly burned a hole in it!My daughter smelled burning and saved the day as no one was in the lounge at the time (MAKING TEA) SO BE WARNED!!
14 Mar 09 0:59 Harry Larter. I found the Huawei dissapoiting.
Indeed heating problems and most of the time gprs and no hsdpa connections. I have send mine back (trail period) to KPN the netherlands. But now I am stuck with a repeating popup message when I open my network pref in my system pref. I can't change anything because as soon as i klick ok ( there is another programe changing the network settings) it comes back. Only after i kill the netcnfgtool under the activity monitor i can chage my settings.trying to delete the hauwei modems under the nework prot settings doesn't work because something is preventing me from saving the changes. The button save is pressed but no changes are saved.any help from someone in getting this viral software from my computer would be greatly appreceated.
21 Mar 09 8:49 Dave. I had similar issues with MBP Unibody 2.53 Ghz, Huawei E170. Using latest firwmare from my operator and either Huawei's latest dashboard or operator's older dashboard, the connection won't stay more than few minutes. The strange thing is that in Windows, it works more than 30 mins to hours without problem. So it must be the MAC driver that is 'crappy'.
I wonder what can be done. Even the latest firmware (www.starhub.com look under mobile broad band, customer service) which is newer than HuaWei's website didn't help. The power on USB is interesting, but I don't have a USB splitter to test that. Overheating definately not the case.
The modem disconnect within few minutes upon high data transfer speed (400kb/s) 8 Apr 09 5:08 Leonard. I've updated it with starhub's firmware as well. In fact after updating it, my disconnections got even more frequent. I've also tried using a powered USB hub to power the device but sadly, it still overheats. Its strange cos some days there are frequent disconnections, and some days no disconnects at all.
My theory is that high data transfer speeds might cause it to work over time and overheat and lead to disconnects. I called huawei but they said this shouldn't be the case.
8 May 09 12:32 Lincoln. just bought myself a macbook, previously used my web n walk on a pc, when i try to connect it says 'connecting.' Then disconnects and says there's a problem with my modem and check settings, spoke to people at t-mobile they said put the SIM in a t-mobile phone and go online to set it up, did that, re-tried, still no joy, any ideas?!?!?! 21 May 09 12:13 tom. Have you gone through all the steps I listed in the article above? 21 May 09 12:35 the.
I just bought a USB stick modem from Singapore (M1). I brought it to another country (Malaysia) and bought a prepaid broadband card (Cellcomm ). Works very well now but I had to top up because the initial mysteriously dissapeared! Had to pop the sim card into a mobile phone; sms the local provider and topped up using a code bought from 7-11. Hope this helps those who have problems. Connection was OK and I managed to download iPhone 3.0 upgrade. Now, if only there was a way to SMS on my MacBook Pro thru the modem to top up without having to pop out the card into a mobile phone!
19 Jun 09 2:15 Ronnie Yap. Thanks Ronnie, hopefully that will help others in your situation.
Interesting tale to tell! I second the the wish to be able to text through from the sim via the mac, would be great. So annoying the PC users get to do that! 19 Jun 09 6:21 the.
does anyone else have the problem of slow connection on a mac? I can use the stick on my PC and it get up to 60kbps but with my mac the fastest i get is 6! Any ideas anyone? Some network preference changes perhaps? 14 Jul 09 0:57 Rob drury.
Brilliant! I was ripping my hair out trying to get this to work.

My Web 'n' Walk software wasn't crashing, but it was generating a crash with Network Status whenever I tried connecting. Popped in.99# for the phone number and works a treat now:) 28 Jul 09 14:11. Thanks Ben for your opening note. I have been using this OK for 9 months now on Mac OS X via their software. The recent upgrade to 10.5.8 caused the application to crash - KERNINVALIDADDRESS at 0x000000006f6c6c61. Dialling as you suggest works!
No loss really as the application front end is useless, and awful translations of the German. ('Success to connect' and the like). Direct dialling also gives a connection-up monitor. Windows (spit) software is infinitely better.
Better graphs and says the connection type. Windows keeps usage history. However even that assumes use on only one system - ha! Website has stats but session only. 'Add them up' they said - again ha!
Re speeds, I get full 'speed' with GPRS connection. Speed is no problem at all with 3G of course (everywhere but home (8-(# ). 2mbps of course (although it says 7.2!). If anyone needs to connect using Linux, I know someone who has the method. I am sending this now via my stick at 64k, so if you see this it really works. Thanks again Ben - a life saver.
6 Sep 09 17:11 Tony Firshman. If you check 'Show modem status in menu bar' then the 'Connect' is available from there - small handset logo. I tried checking advanced PPP 'Connect automatically.' But that appears not to work. Also has anyone worked out how to stop finder opening the stick contents?

6 Sep 09 18:26 Tony Firshman. I too wish the mac software would handle SMSs. In the UK, T-mobile charge £2.50 for paper bills for.all. their customers.
They SMS when the online bill is ready, wait for it. To the stick! I have a Virgin mobile phone (T-mobile is the provider) but they won't use that. Eventually after much management discussion, they agreed to email me. 6 Sep 09 19:01 Tony Firshman. I can't believe 41 of you and not one of you mac os idiots thought about checking THE MANUFACTURERS WEBSITE for a solve to your problem.
GENERIC UPDATES HERE you'll need to use xp or vista to update? There is a small chance of bricking your modem(if your a bit thick).
And remember to get the mac compatible version. Your welcome. 13 Dec 09 19:19 ubuntuboy solves macOS idiots problem. Bit of an offensive tone there! Still - the link might be useful. 13 Dec 09 19:21 the. I just updated my E160 using the latest update on the t mobile site on a windows machine.
