can use on ZTE mf100?

You can use the Qualcomm chipset tweak or hardware mod

how to check software? what the goodness of doing this tweaking?

walao first time found this kind of thread..

For MF100 it won't be so obvious considering the age of the modem

You gain signal boost and stability boost

show the uMobile MF680 firmware flash ma
hm.. maybe the "3" firmware too

Don't want later my PM full of flame

Another sifu in the making, keep up the good work, we gonna recommend the Admin to give you the Elite Tag soon, like what we done to Chuah.....

this is a really great guide, two big thumbs up!

Nice sharing..
Thumbs up! Thumbs up!

Thanks for the support guys

Added possible fix for MF680 DC lost issue

Blacktubi, the modify on first post of tx power to 26 is permanent on modem right even after tweak with computer and using modem on router? Effect stay after tweak unless we tweak it back again?

Yes, it is permanent until you reset it

In fact the mdma actually tweaking these value too, mdma is tweaking BAND_PREF for the band option

agree. Remember to list my name in the nomination list. Blacktubi very helpful and great knowledge too

---

Added on October 7, 2012, 8:46 pmbut the mdma didn't tweak the tx power right? Only able to tweak band frequency. Need to tweak the tx power to 26 and see any improvement. If not much then will tweak it back down.

This post has been edited by chuahcs79: Oct 7 2012, 08:46 PM

mdma didn't touch any other values except BAND_PREF

You may backup the whole NV Items just in case, there's a tool for that

quite less confident to testing tweaking after the purple led issue will test kaw kaw. If there tweak can gain higher stability, also a bonus for me.

install a femtocell la bro, Maxis is selling them soon

If you want stability, play with TEMP TX LIN, increase it a bit but not too much

the issue is i am not sure which value fit me though,. hmm just dont want to over tweak,

Seems like after I tweak the TX, my speed dropped by half

Increasing TX power got nothing to do with speed drop
Try restart a few times if fail then revert

This post has been edited by blacktubi: Oct 7 2012, 11:17 PM

what value u tweak ?

Same value in the screenshot, 26. After I reset to 23, the speed come back up

My E372 and ZTE MF680 both original TX value = 23, i tweak both to TX 26 now,.

testing to see whether any different

May I know what modem are you using
It increase the speed on all my modem

i think my ZTE MF680 much more happy with this tweak than my E372,..

i guess ZTE MF680 is a power hunger like Option Icon,..

after tweak E372 effect is so so similar like before,

but for ZTE MF680, consistency is really there, very stable compare to before up down ding dong for sure

thanks for sharing Blacktubi

I am using MF680 and the funny thing is after the tweak, the signal strength dropped to 54% from 64% in MR3420. Heat is not an issue because I have a panasonic stand fan blowing at number 3 24/7 and its actually very cool to touch

---

Added on October 8, 2012, 12:38 amOk, I tried it again and repositioned my router a little bit, now I am getting same speed as 26 and 23. Maybe my tower is already at max

This post has been edited by linkeong: Oct 8 2012, 12:38 AM

normally me with no star IP speed around 9~11Mbps,..

result is after tweaking with the QPST blacktubi method on no star IP
so i guess 5 star IP would be higher speed for sure

hi.. newbie here..
how do u actually "uninstall" old drivers/dashboard?

recently updated to new umobile mf680 driver and i lost dc-hspa+..
now it's constantly on hspa+ and blinking blue light on modem..

i tried uninstalling driver software from device manager and installed the 3 drivers, but the 3 connect mannager wont detect my modem and the umobile driver reinstalls itself after a few moments...

Gudjob sifu..

after tweaking TX power, current speed

I tried n my speed a bit down but the line just got stable..

my speed super stable like never before,

wow TX 26 value really amazing

especially when u download IDM u will notice huge different

Wondering is there any tutorial in upgrading the E372 firmware?

the E372 tweak to value 26 ada beza?

btw, THANKS and KUDOS to blacktubi

I googled and found out femtocell is like a small base station.

Will this be expensive?

now the 3 connect manager detects the network, but i just cant click connect no matter how long i wait..

and the u broadband connect manager fails to connect (maybe becoz i deleted the drivers and installed the 3 drivers instead)



edit : i cant find the uninstall button for the u mobile connect manager either

edit2 : qxdm cant install, says i need internet explorer 6 or higher.

but i got ie8 -.-

rebranding E372 can tweat too?

Can i tweak my icon505m too? Hehe

Flash to the latest firmware then use the signal tweak.

You will see a huge increase in speed.

Added on October 8, 2012, 1:49 pmThanks for the support situ chuah
Learnt many from you

Just run the software
Huawei software is very simple

Huge beza

If you worry about warranty better don't play with this
What is your original firmware, I may able to get a backup copy for you

Hi bro, I suggest you to uninstall the old driver and everything first
Failed to connect because you haven't setup a APN
And I suggest you use RAS

This post has been edited by blacktubi: Oct 8 2012, 01:49 PM

its not connect failed bro..
is cant click the connect button

and how to remove drivers....
is it from device manager, right click zte network thing n uninstall drivre software?

can icon 505m use this trick/

If you are using pure Umobile modem, you won't need this tweak

Uninstall every dashboard you have

Umobile connect manager
Connect Manage

Then go to the settings > Add APN > RAS

---

Added on October 8, 2012, 4:05 pmI not sure with what chipset is icon 505M is using

Yellow light for this, you may try, if QPST detect it, it should be able to use

This post has been edited by blacktubi: Oct 8 2012, 04:05 PM

ok i try 1st. TQ

The Option iCON 505 is an USB based wireless boardband module that is designed for use on a UMTS/GSM networks. At the core of the dual-band HSPA and quad-band GPRS/EDGE modem is a design from Icera based on their Livanto chipset, which includes the ICE8040 baseband processor, ICE8215 RF transceiver and ICE8145 power management chip...

source -> here

so E372 only need install the dashboard and firmwave to latest version only.

Only ZTE MF680 require to do such following tweak
Qualcomm QPST
Qualcomm QXDM

difference between RAS and NDIS?

NDIS should better than RAS and it didn't create a new interface on the control panel.

But that legendary dashboard don't works well with NDIS

so.. for a mf680 will be using..

If you MF680 can Purple w/o issue, it is not required to mod dashboard.
Just use RAS.

does this mean that mf680 best using ras rather than connect with dashboard?

Very personal question

Test it yourself, I use mdma = RAS.

after all MDMA still a better dashboard other than can't read text message

whats the default value of tx already ah.. want test be4 and after later when i got chance

24dBm

better you "first page it"

mine both E372 and ZTE MF680 default value is TX 23

Default is 23

sorry to ask but how to uninstall umobile dashboard?
(dashboard is the connect manager right?)

i cant find it in programs and features.. also there's no uninstall.exe in the folder..

same as me...23 e372

after tweakk...ehemmm2

thank you tubi²

Thks blacktubi. tried 26 but got disc issue, will try on 24 or 25 later .

any improvement for you ?

so wats the best value for E372 and MF680?

i wan to overclock my E220 and see how to brick it as this is a modem that i seldom touch nowadays..........

will come back later la...dont want to hurry update the speed

for me best value for ZTE MF680 is 26 and for E372 is 25

After check again, the original value is 23
Messed up myself

The gold number for me is still 26, my E372 striking 1MB+ stable on IDM

This post has been edited by blacktubi: Oct 8 2012, 08:03 PM

Lets say i tweak it to 26, if i use it on another PC or Mac, will the value stays in the modem or that different pc's dashboard will revert it back to stock of 23?

It will saved there even you use router
This is direct tweak the chipset configuration, not computer level

it is permanent tweak stay on modem like MDMA Band tweak,..

unless u change it back to original 23 value

so the steps are in post#1 ?

thanks SiFu Blacktubi and SiFu Chuah

actually credit it -> Sifu Blacktubi

amazing works,.. and yes i dont mind or care if i brick my modem,. since i brick it in many ways before, and i know the risk,..

no risk = no gain

I cant launch the QPST and have no idea how to use QPDM..

can refer here -> http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2517342

Might be silly q but do i still need fan after heatsink added?

Very personal
More cooling = more better
Or just get a HSF, but really hard to find such small HSF

i know where can get that small heatsink fan, saw it before when i purchase my server fan

someone can help me ?

actually the qpst not detect device ...

and so i have uninstall all dashboard driver and program...
qpst still no detect ~
and install back for my zte mf680 driver ...

and qpst detected and already configured as tutorial ...

the problem is my MDMA couldn't detect my modem anymore and it just showing detecting device and can't detect my modem device so can someone assist me ?

Ok. 25 is stable for mine, no disc no blinking blinking issue, hitting >2m consistently this morning .

SiFu, how to determine the port number?



wat did i done wrong?

do i need to uninstall all Huawei dashboard ?

It is under the Ports list
Select Huawei Diagnostics

Alternatively, go to QPST, add port, uncheck "only show qc..." add every port theRe

This software supported for Window 7 Ultimate 64 bit?

I installed the software, but it seems that whenever I launch the QPST it crashes.

I tried running in compatibility mode and run as administrator still the same thing.

Anyone living area Sepang maybe can tweak for me..

I am using Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit too

Try reinstalling or maybe some software killing the QPST

Pay me postage and I can do it for you

Thx blacktubi
my E353 works best on 25

How you guys test the values ?

test one by one , start from default value of 23 , till 28 ?

then do a simple DL of 100MB each value? benchmark the fastest DL?

btw, thanks TS, i managed to set my value to 26 from the default of 23 on my E372 now...........

and if i reflash my E372 using your recommended FW on post#1, will the value reset back to default of 23?

thanks

Update :

Added video tutorial

Added on October 9, 2012, 3:33 pmOnce reflash = everything is set according to latest firmware. Latest firmware is solid
Flash then re mod kaw kaw

This post has been edited by blacktubi: Oct 9 2012, 03:33 PM

after mod kaw kaw = speed kaw kaw and signal also kaw kaw,. super stable 90%

it asked me to enter password when i tried to update the firmware on my E372.

Anyone know the password?

Blackie, where to find this TEMP TX LIN? Maybe you can give the number on the list of it on RF NV Item Manager? Can't find it anywhere..

Gonna play with it today, or maybe you got another settings too for us to play play on this evening?

Thanks.
