CHINA MOBILE AS A MODEM

1
Recently, a friend of mine ask me to test Internet connection using China brand Mobilephone (on celcom 3G carrier) as a modem. So if you are interested in this matter, please continue reading:

China Brand Mobile Phone ( after this will be referred as CBMP throughout the post), can be used as a modem either by using USB cable or using Bluetooth DUN connections.

1# I tried to use the phone using a USB cable using driver and software (
http://mt6227-driver.blogspot.com). Please bear in mind that CBMP used as a modem linked by USB cable got no official support from the manufacturer. Therefore if you try to do this, no guarantee that it will work and if anything happen to your phone (minimal risk if ever present), please dont blame me or the manufacturer. Do this at your own risk.. However the interesting point I want to share here is that I already tested it and the connections was failed. Eventhough after I Installed all the relevent driver and software, my Windows XP SP2 still failed to communicate with the modem (It was detected though as MTK GPRS Phone)

2# I tried to use Bluetooth DUN connections, and the connection was successfull. Just pair your phone with your computer, and once DUN`s driver is installed, you are ready to go.. Pls refer screenshots below:













The last screenshot shows 115.2Kbps which the maximum bandwith speed available for this china mobile phone (for actual speed, I recommend speedtest.net as a third party bandwidth tester) .

If your connection failed, go to control panel>phone and modem>Modem>highlight Bluetooth DUN Modem and select properties>Diagnostic>Query Modem. Once your query modem success, select advance and under the extra intialization command box key in: +cgdcont=1,"ip","celcom3g". Press OK twice to get back to the control panel window and try again to do the connection.

CHINA MOBILE SETTING (I MOBILE, NOKLA, BLUEBERRY, CSL, TV MOBILE ETC)

Nowadays made in china phone or more popularly known as China Mobile in Malaysia, is quite a common sight on our local Communication shop. These China Mobiles and its clone (such as I MOBILE, CSL, BLUEBERRY and NOKLA to name a few) got some disadvantages. The most common disadvantages is that local telecomunications company (Celcom, Digi, Maxis and U Mobile) MOST PROBABLY do not provide OTA settings (a.k.a. Over The Air settings). Most unlucky customers will end up scratching their head due to the fact that not all telecommunications company provide technical support to configure their phone. So for my friends out there who is not a very tech-savy minded, I provide below a general outline on how to configure your beloved phone. The settings below is for CELCOM SUBSCRIBER ONLY. For other TELCOs, leave your comments and I will post the details in this blog.TQ

10 Ways on how to save on Petrol..

First off all, this is the view of an amateur (known as mr Amry.. it`s me hehe) and not a professional. My field of work is on computers and mobile network and this post got no connection at all with my daily job.. All data if present is solely based on my own experience, advice from my mechanics and a bit of research on the internet.

So guys, here are the tips on how to save on Fuel (on automobiles only):

1#Plan your journey ahead. If possible, don`t drive during peak hours. Traffic jam is a waste of time and fuels. My Proton`s full tank (RM120) cannot last a week for a 5 times +/-30KM journey.

2#Service your car regularly (usually in 3 months interval or after every 5000KM). A well maintained engine prolonged its life and maintain the fuel consumptions.

3#Check and clean up (if necessary) your engine`s air filter and spark plug. These two components if not taken care of will cause your engine to operate inefficiently. The engine will be unable to mix air and fuels and burn it for optimum result.

4#Do not put extra weight on your car. Remove all unnecessary thing form your car`s compartment. Extra weight means extra fuel consumption for your car.

5#For manual transmission, shift and stay at highest gear if possible so that the RPM will stay below 3000RPM (less RPM mean less fuel burned). For automatic transmission, don't press the gas pedal too hard from static condition. Press the gas pedal gently and let your car gain momentum slowly. If you press it too much, your RPM will only goes up but your car still take time to gain momentum due to the restrictions on the automatic gearbox.

6#install voltage regulator to save 5% to 10% less fuel consumptions (installation cost range from RM100 to RM150)

7#wash and wax your car regularly. Reason?? to improve air flow and aerodynamic of your car. ;P When we talk about aerodynamic, don't buy box shaped car instead buy an egg shaped one. Boxy shaped cars like Proton Juara consumes more fuels compared to let say Perodua Rusa. Bad aerodynamic design cause drag. Drag means more energy needed by the engine to move the car.


8# Use small diameter tires and aloy rims. Reason is to save weight and and remove unnecessary burden on your engine. The negative side is, small tires decrease traction control..

9# Minimize air conditioning usage. Air conditioner consumes fuel my dear..hehe

10# Don`t leave your car on idle for a long period. Turn your car engine off while waiting for your friends..it save fuels, and help save our environment. Even though starting your engine consumes a considerable amount of fuels but that's only true to some extent with carburetors engine.

That all pals!! save fuels and save our environment. Do your small part to save the world and be a hero!!

For my dear friend..

I received this article this early morning and straightaway I know it`s a good article for us to share.. (forgive me for the article below is not my own words, somebody send it to me by email ).

Once upon a time there was this girl who had 4 boyfriends.

She loved the 4th boyfriend the most and adorned him with rich robes and treated him to the finest of delicacies. She gave him nothing but the very best.

She also loved the 3rd boyfriend very much and was always showing him off to neighboring kingdoms. However, she feared that one day he would leave her for another.

She also loved her 2nd boyfriend. He was her confidant and was always kind, considerate and patient with her. Whenever this girl faced a problem, she could confide in him, and he would help her get through the difficult times.

The girls 1st boyfriend was a very loyal partner and had made great contributions in maintaining her wealth and kingdom. However, she did not love the first boyfriend. Although he loved her deeply, she hardly took notice of him!

One day, the girl fell ill and she knew her time was short. She thought of her luxurious life and wondered, I now have four boyfriends with me, but when I die, I’ll be all alone.’

Thus, she asked the 4th boyfriend, ‘I loved you the most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I’m dying, will you follow me and keep me company?’

‘No way!’, replied the 4th boyfriend, and he walked away without another word.

His answer cut like a sharp knife right into her heart.

The sad girl then asked the 3rd boyfriend, ‘I loved you all my life. Now that I’m dying, will you follow me and keep me company?’

‘No!’, replied the 3rd boyfriend. ‘Life is too good! When you die, I’m going to marry someone else!’

Her heart sank and turned cold.

She then asked the 2nd boyfriend, ‘I have always turned to you for help and you’ve always been there for me. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?’

‘I’m sorry, I can’t help you out this time!’, replied the 2nd boyfriend. ‘At the very most, I can only walk with you to your grave.’

His answer struck her like a bolt of lightning, and the girl was devastated.

Then a voice called out: ‘I’ll go with you. I’ll follow you no matter where you go.’

The girl looked up, and there was her first boyfriend. He was very skinny as he suffered from malnutrition and neglect.

Greatly grieved, the girl said, ‘I should have taken much better care of you when I had the chance!’

In truth, you have 4 boy friends in your lives:

Your 4th boyfriend is your body. No matter how much time and effort you lavish in making it look good, it will leave you when you die.

Your 3rd boyfriend is your possessions, status and wealth. When you die, it will all go to others.

Your 2nd boyfriend is your family and friends. No matter how much they have been there for you, the furthest they can stay by you is up to the grave.

And your 1st boyfriend is your Soul. Often neglected in pursuit of wealth, power and pleasures of the world.

However, your Soul is the only thing that will follow you where ever you go. Cultivate, strengthen and cherish it now, for it is the only part of you that will follow you to the throne of God and continue with you throughout Eternity.

Thought for the day: Remember, when the world pushes you to your knees, you’re in the perfect position to pray.

BEING HAPPY DOESN’T MEAN EVERYTHING’S PERFECT.

IT MEANS YOU’VE DECIDED TO SEE BEYOND THE IMPERFECTIONS
