[Bug 408555] Re: ZTE MF636 3G modem sometimes is not connecting in Lucid
Closing as Fix Released: my ZTE MF636 also works fine in Natty, worked fine in Maverick, all without firmware updates. There's also a report that it can be helped with a firmware update, so you might want to test this too. ** Changed in: modemmanager (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/408555 Title: ZTE MF636 3G modem sometimes is not connecting in Lucid -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Great News! Updating firmware of my ZTE MF636 to V1.0.4B11 (from V1.0.2B01) using a win-application from my local 3G data provider fixed all problems regarding instability of /dev/ttyUSBx creation/removal. Tested on Ubuntu 10.04 (2.6.32-29-generic #58) Now I can use my ZET MF636 as expected!

[Bug 408555] Re: ZTE MF636 3G modem sometimes is not connecting in Lucid
Also by default after plugging in and waiting ~80 seconds (time needed for the dongle to be recognized by system), "Enable Mobile Broadband" is unchecked in Network Manager, although broadband connections are available and it is possible to connect to them by clicking. If I manually click the "Enable broadband connection" before connecting to a network, then connection is lost shortly to the modem and Network Manager no longer recognizes it, until reboot. If the checkbox is left "as it is" and I simply connect to the desired network, then it is possible to unplug the dongle and then it will be recognized properly, when connected (takes ~80 seconds to start as well). Hope this info is of any use in tracking and fixing this bug. -- ZTE MF636 3G modem sometimes is not connecting in Lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/408555 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Due to the operating system wiped out and winxp installed, no further report will be available from me on this case, sorry. -- ZTE MF636 3G modem sometimes is not connecting in Lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/408555 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The above is with both Network Manager and Modem Manager installed (there is other option, namely Wader, but that one does not work good with Network Manager probably) -- ZTE MF636 3G modem sometimes is not connecting in Lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/408555 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi, Tested on Acer Aspire One A150 : MF636 with BT UK, yesterday's upgrade Karmic->Lucid: - Booting without dongle : After inserting the dongle FIRST TIME AFTER BOOT : (timeline) (+next event duration) - times approximate - it gets recognized as CD ROM (BT AM), dmesg shows it is mass storage (+20s) - tries to mount the CD automatically, but dmesg shows it sees no media (+10s) - so it ejects CD (+10s) - then the dongle light goes off, (+10s), it turns on red (+5s) turns blue - dmesg shows mass storage device (MMC), and the usual 3 ttyUSB ports (+10s) - Network Manager recognizes the dongle, if was not configured, shows new option (behold, up to 2 minutes!) - (if connection configured) Network Manager shows twirling icon and connects (can take 30 seconds easily) - haven't done tests w/r/t stability of connection over long time though. So from plugging in to getting internet connection it CAN take up to 4 minutes altogether. When closed connection, unplugged the dongle, and plugged in again : - it gets recognized as mass storage and dmesg is stuck on 'waiting for device to stabilize before scanning' (or so) - gave up waiting after 2 minutes If booting with dongle in the USB port : - it gets recognized as mass storage and dmesg is stuck on 'waiting for device to stabilize before scanning' (or so) - gave up waiting after 2 minutes But after poweroff/start up (haven't tried reboot only) it works through the usual procedure, no problem until dongle unplugged. (this is my boss's netbook, next time round it I will try to attach dmesg of both cases) -- ZTE MF636 3G modem sometimes is not connecting in Lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/408555 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 408555] Re: ZTE MF636 3G modem sometimes is not connecting in Lucid
Similar experience for me: The modem is detected automatically in 10.04 and the /dev/ttyUSB0,1 & 2 devices appear - but then no joy from the Network Manager in the KDE desktop (This time I did a fresh install of Kubuntu 10.04.) However: wvdial works great and the modem appears to be working well (there have been no disconnects the past couple of times I tried it.) My deepest thanks and congratulations, as always, to all the great guys and gals who are putting this together - even with the new & remaining problems K/ubuntu is fabulous! -- ZTE MF636 3G modem sometimes is not connecting in Lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/408555 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have had some problems with this in Lucid. Sometimes it workss perfectly with autoconnecting, other times nothing happens, but works perfectly with wvdial. ** Summary changed: - ZTE MF636 3G modem cannot used in Karmic + ZTE MF636 3G modem sometimes is not connecting in Lucid -- ZTE MF636 3G modem sometimes is not connecting in Lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/408555 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
