can´t understand your question...... :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

wifi is WIFI and mobil is MOBIl connection. you can see this in your status bar: mobile (3g ore 4g) and wifi.

in wifi-mode you must enter a wifi-key. when you plug in a real 3g/4g modem, the connection coming up immediately (be sure to disable the pin query of the sim-card).

Hello!

I tried a k3772 that appears on first page on stock version but not works for me. The signal appears on top bar but blank.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] mulderfbi:
full signal, no internet

Hi, a have isudar unit with android 8 4GB ram with stock rom. I tried huawei e3131 modem with HILINK firmware which works perfect on my older PX3 unit with android 5.1 (custom rom) When i plug the same USB modem in my PX5 with android 8 it shows the signal triangle (full) but no internet is passing through. Also there is no 3G icon beside it. What might be the problem. There are no network settings in the unit settings.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] homelol:
Can be that you use stock rom?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] mulderfbi:
yeah, it might be because of that, but i need to know for sure so i can stop trying to make it work.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] snakedoc73:
"HILINK" is a modem-to-router simulator. it´s NOT working as a real modem-connection. you can see this on your old px3 unit: there is no 3g connection shown, only a ethernet connection. BUT: you can disable the "ethernet-simulator" and switch the E3131 back to a real-modem; search google for this.

/chris
[MTCD Android Head Units General] homelol:
Someone can help me with my k3772? I get the cell signal icon on top bar but is empty. Some specific firmware?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] mulderfbi:
So this means that the newer unit with later android OS can`t handle what older unit with lot older android version can? I have another E3131 stick, which is not a HILINK version but it does not connect to the network at all. An empty triangle shows and no on the notification bar and thats it. On my computer, when i use AT commands and set it as a network card i can see it in the "network connections" window, and it connects to the network, but if i set it to work as a modem it does not connect by it self. It waits to open the dedicated software and press "connect" After that it gets connected to the internet. So, how can i make it connect as a modem on android multimedia unit if there is no software to start and press "connect"?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] homelol:
My k3772 withouts hilink the same, empty triangle connection. The strange think that this model is marked as working on first page.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] snakedoc73:
be sure: HUAWEI E3131 "s-1" version!!!! and : PIN MUST BE DISABLED ON SIM CARD via the "Mobile Partner" Programm for Windows!!!!

the HUAWEI E3131s-1 is 100% working on many devices....

/chris
[MTCD Android Head Units General] mulderfbi:
OK, i set my E3131 (not the HILINK one) to work as "modem+network card" and i got the full triangle with the 3g icon and it works on my old px3 unit now. Before, it did not show up at all. Maybe you could use "at commands" and try to set your stick to different modes and test after each one. For E3131 i use AT^SETPORT="A1,A2;1,16,3,2" command using the "Huawei terminal" Can`t tell if it works on the PX5 unit with android 8 stock rom yet, cos i don`t have the unit right now. So now when i plug in the HILINK stick i get the two computers like icon (ethernet connection), as snakedoc73 mentioned earlier, and when i plug the other E3131 (non HILINK firmware) i get the triangle signal icon with the 3g sign on it. This is all happening on my old PX3 unit. In both cases the internet access is working.

---------- Post added at 10:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

yeah i know E3131 is one of the better USB modems for this job :) thats why i have two of them. One is E3131As-2 and one is E3131i-...something They have different hardware inside, so the FW are not compatible.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] homelol:
I will try the command and then I will comment the result. Thanks!
[MTCD Android Head Units General] snakedoc73:
when you get the HUAWEI E3131 "s-1" Version it will work plug´n´play w/o any modification on any device. Other E3131 Versions makes many problems on some devices......

/chris
[MTCD Android Head Units General] homelol:
I have a k3772 and tried your command but not works... I have no idea what to do since this adapter is listed on the first page as compatible. I have tried it on the pc and it works without any problem but on the px5 with stock rom only shows mobile triangle empty. Notification bar shows no carrier. I disabled PIN too.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] mulderfbi:
Hi, not all modems use same commands!

You can try to send AT^U2DIAG? an see what it will return as an answer. Then see these commands if there is an answer and "OK" at the end.

Diagnostic AT Commands

AT^U2DIAG

Usage :

AT^U2DIAG=code : where code is specific number of command set given below :

AT^U2DIAG=0 : Modem Mode

AT^U2DIAG=1 : Modem and CD-Rom Mode

AT^U2DIAG=255 : Modem+CD-Rom+Card-Reader Modem+ Factory Defaults Setting

AT^U2DIAG=256 : Modem+Card-Reader Mode

AT^U2DIAG=257 : Disable Application Port

AT^U2DIAG=276 : Reset to factory Defaults

If this doesn`t work, try this command at ^ setPort? an see what it will return as an answer, and if there is "OK" at the end. If it works try to set it as modem mode only wit this command at ^ setPort = “A1; 10,12”

You can find at commands for different Huawei modems here https://routerunlock.com/useful-at-commands-for-huawei-modem/
[MTCD Android Head Units General] homelol:
I tried the firsts ones and get error

Send:AT^U2DIAG=0

Recieve: ERROR

Then tried the second ones and the same.

Send:AT^setPort?

Recieve: ^SETPORT:A1,A2;1,16,3,2

Recieve: OK

Send:AT^setPort="A1; 10,12"

Recieve: ERROR

Thanks for your help
[MTCD Android Head Units General] mulderfbi:
NP. Did you try this command? AT^SETPORT="A1,A2;1,3,2"

One more question. When you plug the stick to your desktop PC what happens? Does it start its own interface app? if it does, it won`t work on the android multimedia. that`s why all other functions should be disabled except the modem and/or network card.

Right now as we speak i am testing Huawei E173 in modem mode only, and i get the full triangle with the 3G icon on top and i get internet, no problem. I wil experiment with my other USB stick (E3131) since right now i get only an empty triangle, no 3G icon and no internet.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] homelol:
I tried the command that u said and gives OK.

Send:AT^SETPORT="A1,A2;1,3,2"

Recieve: OK

And yes, when I plug on my pc shows mobile partner and works perfectly.

The next step is connect to my headunit? Mode is saved on the dongle?

Now when I query the dongle theorically get the correct mode

Send:AT^SETPORT?

Recieve: AT^SETPORT?

Recieve: ^SETPORT:A1,A2;1,3,2

Recieve: OK
[MTCD Android Head Units General] mulderfbi:
Yes- it is saved.

Remember to wait for about 30sec. ti 1 min. when you plug it in the headunit! It takes some time to initialize it. First you should see the full triangle, and then if everything is OK the 3G icon should come on, ant the internet should be available after that.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] homelol:
Tomorrow I will give a try and tell the results. Thanks!
[MTCD Android Head Units General] zerozoneice:
i think the thread should differentiate between 8.0 and 8.1 versions, since nothing works native in 8.0 but in headunits with 8.1 there are even built-in SIM card slots for 4G/LTE native connection. So someone with 8.1 unit (PX5 w/2GB or PX30) should check this modem list if they're working...

Hi,

I use a Huawei e173 on a PX5-MTCE marshmellow HU from pumpkin, some issues:

- no 3G connection settings in the settings, only BT, WLAN, VPN, Airplane mode and other stuff

- works more or less, tends to crash the whole headunit every second day or so -> Screen freezes

- connected via built-in extension cable (device has no USB-ports, just two usb-cables sticking from the back, way longer than 1m)

- Handover doesn't work great, but could be the carriers fault I guess.

So, could a powered USB-hub help with the stability issues? Any good reason to lift the device to Oreo (Malaysk) like better mobile support?

regards

I have a ZTE MF683 that gets a triangle with signal meter plus i have access to the mobile data connections settings menu. The only problem is. I cant get it to actually send or receive data. Not sure if I need to perform some logon procedure?

How do you initiate a connection when all of these things are working?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] snakedoc73:
you don´t need the 3G connection settings in the settings-menu, because the px5-unit can´t manage the 3g-stick.

these settings are only for device, which has an OWN port for the sim card. a 3g-stick is a unit working for himself. you have to do all settings with the "mobile-connecting-software" on your pc. when update to malaysk-oreo you have better stability.

Since there's kind of two threads on this, I'll post this here as well.

I had a Huawei E3372-510 somewhat working on my PX5 stock 8.0 ROM as a cellular modem. It didn't so up as a LAN connection like it does on my laptop, so I was able to configure cellular data options in the settings. Unfortunately it doesn't work with Verizon, and I live in a GSM area covered by two 3rd party providers. That means GSM devices are always roaming, and Verizon is the only data provider out here so I was unable to actually use it on my laptop or PX5.

Hey.

I´ve purchased a huawei 3531i-2 and under oreo it only show signal strength. Dont show 3g and dont have internet conection.

The system (px5 8.0 hal9k rom) recognize the usb stick and get apn, but it dont work.

Do you know if it should transform to modem only or similar?

help pls

Hello friends

I can confirm that e173u-3 unit works on px5 stock rom with the firm of the first post. Before, the seller sent by error an k3772 that is indicated on first post that works on stock rom but not for me.

Please add this model on first post.

More info after some days of testing. If the signal get lost the hu not recover the data unless you restart the unit... its a problem with the stock rom or is a common problem?

Hi all together,

I bought a "E3131h-2" a couple of weeks ago for some peanuts, because I unfortunately couldn´t find a E3131s-1 until now .

Its also with HiLink by standard and I was not able to switch it to Modem-Mode until now, because I cannot connect to it via serial connection and e.g. putty. Can maybe someone assist me in that, please?

I found out something interesting with that Huawei Stick. With the Stock Rom it didnt work: I got the mobile connection bar, and also the mobile service and the 3G symbol was displayed, but no internet data could be transferred correctly. Also in the settings the menu entry for mobile data connection is completely gone whether I have the USB Modem connected nor diconnected.

I then installed the Oreo Hal9K Rom on my unit and tried it again with HiLink Mode:

I also have in this case all signal bars and mobile network service informations (O2 Germany and 3G) displayed but some internet data is still not transferred.

But with Hal9k the mobile connection settings are available and the APN settings can be adapted and entered manually for my provider. I did this and the USB modem is now working even in Hilink mode.

Its also switching from "E" - Edge to "3G" and back.

Only one time until now I had the case that the modem hang up and didnt work anymore until i plugged it off and on again. Currently I dont know if its a Modem HW issue, or it depends on the Hilink mode or maybe the Android SW ?

That´s why I try to still get it into "modem mode" some time and test if its then working steadily.

I'll keep you posted on this.

Can maybe kindly support me someone here to get this USB Modem switched from Hilink to modem mode with a how-to ?

Thank you very much in advance and best regards
[MTCD Android Head Units General] snakedoc73:
It´s very difficult to switch from HILINK(Bull****-Mode :D )to Modem-Mode. Save time and buy one of the WORKING Sticks. I lost many days to switch from HiLink Mode to serial Mode. :(:(:(

/chris
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Haebbe:
:D:D "Bull****-Mode" :D:D

Do you mean the E3131s-1 is delivered without "HiLink mode" and in "ModemMode" by standard ? Or have you switched your E3131s-1 from Hilink to Modem Mode successfully ?

Yes, i would like to save time also, but the speed of the other sticks is pretty lame and I was not able to find a exact E3131s-1 till now. I keep it under observation ;) but I would like to switch my E3131h-2 nevertheless. :)

I found a HUAWEI K3772 and ordered it as my Backup Modem stick, but I would like to get my E3131h-2 also running because it would be great to have HSPA+ speed for my internet on my Android Headunit. :)
[MTCD Android Head Units General] retromann:
So there is still no true 4G modem compatible? In Germany big providers are starting to stop sending 3G in 2020 to free more frequencies for 4G. So it makes no sense to buy a dieing 3G dongle.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] snakedoc73:
NOPE! that is not true. Many emergency call systems, for example in cars, only work with GSM / 3G. Turning off this service would put all systems out of action. Therefore, 3g will remain in service at least until 2025.

Thanks for the link.

I think you´re pretty right with your opinion.

3G switch off will likely happen. But its not sure regarding the article if it will be done 2020 or maybe some time until 2025.

My opinion is: If the Stick only costs 10 Euros, like in my case, its ok if it runs even only one year left.

But I agree, for the future a 4G solution is necessary.

Hi Cris.

Best method to get 4G - Huawei E8372 Wingle.

Plug it into a cigarette lighter USB adapter and create a WiFi hotspot in your car that headunit then joins to.

Be careful plugging this into a USB port on radio as some stay powered after the ignition is turned off - end result flat battery as the dongles are reasonable power drain.

I use this and have full 4G speeds - far superior to any of the 3G modems suggested so far.

pls. read. post #1 rules: we are only discuss REAL MODEMS and not ´WiFi-Hotspot-Modem Crap´ devices.....

/chris
[MTCD Android Head Units General] IceFragmatic:
All I can say is good luck trying to find anything that will do 4G that meets your wishes. Pre-existing drivers do not meet the needs of modern high speed 4G devices. The manufacturers know that trying to add a driver via APK is virtually impossible in the Android architecture - so you are unlikely to see anything new until there are significant changes to Android.

I have a Verizon MiFi USB730L USB dongle. It acts as a RNDIS Ethernet Adapter for Windows/Linux, but also supports Enterprise use where it can receive direct AT commands.

Switching to Enterprise mode is non-reversible. Once you switch, it will no longer work in Windows without a terminal app sending AT commands to the device.

Does anyone know if this unit will work in either RNDIS or "Enterprise"?

You are right.

If you are future-oriented, buy a 4G WLAN Hotspot and you are ready to go. I'm using the Huawei E5573. It's working fine with my px5.

3G is already dieing here in Germany https://t3n.de/news/3g-nutzer-bald-ohne-netz-1175723/
[MTCD Android Head Units General] afman123:
What do you mean it is working fine?

How long have you been using it?

What happens if you drive through an area with no reception is it picking up the signal again?

Is the PX5 picking the wifi signal up automatically everytime you reboot the system? I have found that the PX5 sometimes struggles with that. For no obvious reasons it sometimes says "connection error" even though the hot spot has not changed.

Does this mean new devices would be able to handle 4G sim cards? This would be the solution to this great mess...
[MTCD Android Head Units General] retromann:
I'm using the E5573 now about one month and very intense in my holidays.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] afman123:

I can just talk for myself. I got absolutely no problems with my unit.

And yes, I also use the bluetooth in combination with WLAN at the same time.

Thank you very much for your post.

But: your modem establishes an ethernet connection to your android. Unfortunately, this does not pay attention to the LTE data volume. the same symbol also comes up with an OTG-to-ethernet adapter. your modem simulates an USB-2-ethernet connection, same like an wifi-connection (or simulated wired router) . i´ve got the same with some other devices (lte stick from samsung, etc...)

a REAL lte/4g connection is shown with the H+/4G Icon in the status bar. in thise case, your device pay attention of the LTE data traffic.

look in your connection menu> you will not see any sim-card or provider options or grayed out.
