[Brendo]

Supported list (GA models. Says 4.2, but same for 4.4.4 iirc)

You may need to change/add apn settings. Install this app to get to the settings: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=diewland.settings.mobilenetworks&hl=en

I use this one: http://www.eonon.com/Others/Others/V0049.html (is cheaper on ebay)

Also make sure that the cable is connected firmly to the back of the headunit

Could someone direct me to where the support list is found? The top link doesn't work. Just wondering if there has been any additions.

I'd like to have 4g ideally, is this even possible with these units (I own a huifei)? Can pick up a huawei e3372 for £15 on eBay

Any tried and tested USB wifi dongle as sometimes my units WIFI doesnt turn on, I am hoping I can just add an external USB WIFI dongle to the OTG USB adapter and use that one that way ????

These two work well together on the Head Unit.

You can get other USB broadband modems working if you use the PPP Widget 2 app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.draisberghof.pppwidget2&hl=en). I found it to be pretty annoying though so I came up with an alternative solution.

I now use a TMobile Z915 mobile hotspot. I plan to install a switch to the battery so I can still use it when travelling, but I can otherwise leave it installed in the car and have it powered by the radio. When the car is turned off, it should kill the power to the hotspot. When power is restored it will power up and have instant wifi.

I'm tempted to try my 4G USB broadband modem again just to see if it works now that I've installed the Malaysk ROM. With my portable hotspot, everything is great except that the radio thinks it is always on wifi so it doesn't mind wasting data.

Hello,
I use the Huawei E1750 USB 3G dongle. I see it run not stable and do not know the reason. I usually used this dongle in PC before take it to my car.
Sometime, the HU did not recognizes the dongle, most of times, the problem happens when I start the engine from the HU running by battery's power.
I guess the power supply for the USB port is not enough.
My HU is Klyde MCTB-KLD. RK3066, 800 X 480, Malaysk newest 4.4.4 ROM
Is there someone met this issue before? Please kindly share your experience to help me solve this.
Thanks!

I believe others have seen this same problem and used a powered USB hub. Good luck.

Hi guys,

I am also using a HUAWEI E1750 in my Carjoying HU and had the same problems but maybe I found a solution.
At least the behavior of the dongle improved dramatically.

1. At first I updated the firmware to version 11.126.13.00.00.B418

2. I think this is the important point .... I disabled the CD-ROM and SD-CARD function on the dongle.

You can use for that the DC-Unlocker.
In the white window on the bottom I used this command

AT ^ SETPORT = "A1, A2; 1,2,3,7"

I have a Huawei E160 and unfortunately the AT ^ SETPORT command doesn't work on my dongle. In the past I've tried AT^U2DIAG=0 which stopped it from working with my HU - fixed by reset using AT^U2DIAG=276.

Based on the above advice, I'm now trying AT^U2DIAG=3. It works with the HU but time will tell if it has fixed the reliability issues. I'll update this when I know more.

I tried and successed!
The AT-comand must follow this instruction from http://www.3g-modem-wiki.com/page/Huawei+AT-commands
The code for the "AT^U2DIAG=n" command depends on the model of dongle (Support by/Not support by)
The modem did fix quickly and more stable. But bases on the new firmware update feature: "More saving power" with your suggestion: "Disable CD and SD card reader", I think the main reason is the weak power of USB port. So, increase the USB power is more necessary because we may use any other device on it, not 3G modem only.
Thank you!

It hasn't completely fixed mine, the connection still drops out, but it MIGHT be better than before. Can't be sure though. Based on the above advice about firmware reducing power usage, I'll try that next.

 

[CARRisma]

This is for the benefit of anyone who owns a Huawei E160:

Do not install the latest firmware 11.609.10.02.432.b418.

After doing this, it wouldn't work with my HU at all. Unable to add APNs - they're not saved as the dongle is not recognised by the HU. It worked on my PC so wasn't broken, but the HU just didn't like it.

I downgraded to 11.609.06.02.94.B409 (was originally on 11.608.02.02.55 so is still an upgrade) and it now works once more.

I'm going to try out the different AT^U2DIAG commands to see if I can improve reliability.

Can you explain this setup more? Maybe some pics? seems like maybe a better scenario than the USB dongle

Hey people,

I have a question. I have a 3g Stick Huawei E1750. It works very good, but I need 4G, because here at the most time only EDGE, and 4G is not supported by the stick. Does anyone knows a compatible working 4g STICK, not a Modem. Thanks
