how bout your "surgery" on 3g modems

here is the current small experiment i am doing and researching

ZTE MF680
[attachmentid=3150346]

E372 Maxis set
[attachmentid=3150352]

Those line is highlight is one of the internal Signal antenna attach to the cover,

See that E372 have much longer zig zag silver than ZTE MF680 which have only tiny  bit ?


ZTE MF680
[attachmentid=3150353]

E372
[attachmentid=3150355]


As you can see from 2 photo above, see how the heatsink in ZTE MF680 is 2 divide piece and E372 is one whole big long piece of heatsink ?
This is the main reason why you guys feel ZTE MF680 is hotter than E372 because the heatsink too small compare to E372 can't hardly tame the whole heat , and the zte mf680 cover will get much more warm and need a cooling method or else performances is drop. on the other hand E372 doesn't need any cooling method and will still be fine and performances a lot better and much stable when heat raise,..


now you guys have the answer of why E372 is much stable and less heat in overall than ZTE MF680 & why ZTE MF680 performances drop tremendous when heat raise

i hope this post benefit you all who having these modem and also for you all who is choosing between which one to have,..

new experiment coming up ^^,
so stay tunes,

yep, can be a way to intro people the structure of a 3g modem

what is latency..high latency or less latency better

Hey guys...i tried testing my broadband by changing the apn............it actually make a different....i use maxisbb, unet, bbnet.........i using maxis postpaid and prefer the bbnet because can get much stability, and much faster...i hate the maxisbb, so slow

bbnet 


unet   


maxisbb 

all of this i made same time, same ip , same place
i tried the speedtest three time for all the apn...and right now glad using the bbnet

using Huawei 173 and Maxis Postpaid 6GB

that's the maximum value that can be selected

ZTE firmware is quite weird for sure

But trust me never do a firmware upgrade or prepare to say bye bye to Purple LED aka DC-HSPA+ high speed

mine current permissible max tx power is 25 , beyond that would get me disconnection issue ( guess i got the bad bin ) , so if i attached to antenna , is that mean i can go beyond 25 ?   to bad my panel is not with me now , kena hijacked by my cousin

I saw you stripped your modem , will accumulated dust harm it ?
so you use 33 as well ? 

Your fan had blown all the dust away lah

I really had problem opening the casing of my MF680..Got stuck opening the back case,the one beside the sim tray..For the front panel I see there's 3 screws there..

Someone can help me on the right way to crack it open?

thanks bro chuahcs but I've already seen this and a few times also..The thing is that it is an assembly not a disassembly video and at the second he tried to put the piece on,he take it up all over the camera so I couldn't see..I tried pulling it up but I already did that sometime ago with another device and the clip broke..So I really2 wanted to know the real way open it,without breaking the clips that is..Say like pulling it up but towards the edge,or from the sides..Thanks

Thank you very much.   I would gladly accept that.

Thanks a lot bro chuahcs. You really are the mod sifu here.  

Thanks for the tip.Thanks a lot.  

same here.. seems like it acts like modeswitch only...

I can use 'unet' with my Celcom 3G.
