USB_ModeSwitch

hi, Josh:
I try to use my mu351 TD-SCDMA card on Acer A500,but when i installed pppwidget and pluged the usb card in, the pppwidget stopped on "search for modem...", i modified the usb_modeswitch.conf and enabled loggin, the contents in log file is:

************************************************************************

i noticed the other post about td-scdma, and i made some experiments you pointed out in that post.

first, i created a fiel named zte.conf and put it in /sdcard

then in adb shell, i called the conf file by

# usb_modeswitch -I -W -c /sdcard/zte.conf

the prompt ：

it seems that the system could recognize my td-scdma card, but pppwidget still dot work, what should i do now?

Look forward to your help, thanks.

Hmm, the mode switch does not seem to be the problem here.

It looks like there was no modem port found on this device during the port check. Usually there is one ttyUSB port with interrupt transfer which can be used for the ppp connection.

But your device is different. There is a full interface listing here:
http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswit ... =2528#2528

I'm sorry to say that there is no success report for this device yet.

What you can try though is to open the config page of PPP Widget and set the port selection to "Manual". Then you can try entering all your ports one after annother and see if something is happening when connecting ...
Be sure to include "ttyUSB0" that was left out in your port check for unknown reasons.

I'd also like to see the output of the "dmesg" command (in the adb shell) after the device was mode-switched.

thanks your reply

i tried ttyUSB0,ttyUSB1,ttyUSB2,ttyUSB3,the same.
the prompt of dmesg as follow:

**************************************************************
is any expectation to use this td-scdma card on pppwidget?

As I said, there isn't even a report of this thing working with a desktop Linux ...

If it does not react to AT commands, it will hardly ever work.

hi,Josh

I flashed my A500 to another ROM,
now i find some new information in the prompt of dmesg

is these information useful?

I'm not sure this will change anything. You had all those ttyUSB ports before, so that's not the problem.

Again, unless the device responds to AT commands, there is no hope to make it work with the widget.
Did you try to find any success reports for Linux? You could google for the USB ID or the name ...

Maybe the device needs special drivers?
