Re: Samsung mobile phone driver??
From: Stephen Peterson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 09 Dec 2005 18:07:51 -0500 Verizon Wireless has recently started supporting Mac internet access via its cell phones with a USB data cable (called Mobile Office kit) or high speed connections with a specific (Kyocera) PCMCIA card. Well it turns out they don't have any driver for the Macs for the USB connection and will only support the expensive PCMCIA high-speed connection. The Quick to Net USB solution allows many people like myself to connect after 9 and weekends for free with no airtime charges. PCers get this service. The only reason it doesn't work on my Lombard is that it won't recognize the phone as a modem correctly. I attempted to use the OS X10.3.2 built-in drivers and got the phone to connect with the 3Com Impact Analog 14.4 driver but the verification (username and password) fails. Has anyone succeded with connecting a Samsung a650 cell phone to Verizons ISP service? Any driver suggestions or otherwise? Ever heard of Yahoo Groups? Pretty much everything you need to know about should be here. It's called Mac cell phones . You maybe able to read it without joining but you won't be able to ask questions nor see the available software . It's free to join so no big deal. I love my Samsung a650 great small non-camera phone. The group also has info on which USB data cable to buy for cheap rather then spending big bucks at Verizon. Let me know how it works . I've been meaning to give it a try but haven't yet. Will S PS you can also upload ring tones with the data cable for free. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/maccellphone/ -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

This has worked for several years now. The techs just weren't allowed to yammer it too loudly. with a specific (Kyocera) PCMCIA card. Lame.

Has anyone succeded with connecting a Samsung a650 cell phone to Verizons ISP service? Any driver suggestions or otherwise? I donno about Samsung phones in particular, but Verizon in general... Their network is set up for the higher speed access. The slower free Q2N service is done over the same network but with a limited DCE speed. Authorization fails because the network dynamically steps the DCE speed down right after you tell it the username qnc. At that point, your modem hasn't stepped down, so further communication fails. The trick is that you have to tell your phone to shift down to the lower speed (14.4 Kbps) *before* connecting to their network. That way, when the network adjusts the speed, the modem is already there! On a PC, Verizon's software does this using some funky codes sent to the cell phone over that USB link. That software also resets the phone after the call. On a Mac... Well, we don't have that sophisticated driver capability. Best we can do is send a few simple AT commands to the phone's modem (via the modem driver scripts). So you fix the speed match problem by using the phone's secret tech support/diagnostic/service menu and permanently (until manually changed) lock the DTE/DCE speed to 14.4/14.4. After doing the above change to our Nokia phones, we're able to use Panther's Verizon Support (PC 5220) script quite reliably. HTH, - Dan. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
