Yellow is HSDPA flashing Red is a SIM error - remove the SIM card - clean contacts with a soft white pencil eraser, reinsert (a tiny fold of paper can be inserted behind the SIM if it requires more pressure against the contacts) > yellow HSDPA (again) > or purple well it's *supposed* to be Violet, and it flashes EDGE >(I don't know what these colors mean, Yes you do! Now. :-D Wikipedia will give you a nice explanation of the various protocols. I'd suggest you give the device no choice eg.force it to only connect UMTS using the AT commands. <snipped to save electrons, and Ralf's sanity> Is that a Novatel U950?? The vendor code should be 0x1410 - what are the product codes please? If so I suspect it's actually a rebadged Ovation MC950D using the Qualcomm MSM7200 chipset. If so the following will probably work for you (should it break you may keep both pieces) ATEI (get OK response) AT$AUTOINSTALL=0 No longer need modeswitch. :-) It's only useful once anyway, and usually only on Mac or Windoof, it's rare to see Linux drives on the virtual cd (Alcatel have them, they just don't work). I normally let that irritating fake cd mount just once (long enough to copy the software somewhere safe should I ever need it) - then disable the bl$%dy thing. If any one know the AT command set for Alcatel I'd love to hear it - I've never managed to figure out the ZCDRUN or equiv for them. -- Tuttle? His name's Buttle. There must be some mistake. Mistake?
