problem with card registering to provider

[Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz]

Hi,

I have few K3520 dongles. One of these had voice disabled, so I enabled it.
Unfortunately it doesn't want to register to operator network somehow.

I've done testing using the same SIM card and the result is:

Working card has:

+ GSM Registration Status : Registered, home network
+ RSSI : 16, -116 dBm
+ Mode : No Service
+ Submode : No service


Not working has:

farm*CLI> dongle show device state dongle0

Any ideas what can be done (set with AT commands maybe) to get dongle register
to upstream network?

Note that when using "Mobile Partner" under windows with this dongle I'm able
to make calls without any problems.

Solution was
AT^SYSCFG=13,0,3FFFFFFF,0,3

What I found was this:

AT^SYSCFG=2,1,3FFFFFFF,1,2 for GPRS/EDGE Preferred
AT^SYSCFG=2,2,3FFFFFFF,1,2 for 3G Preferred
AT^SYSCFG=13,1,3FFFFFFF,1,2 for GPRS/EDGE Only
AT^SYSCFG=14,2,3FFFFFFF,1,2 for 3G Only

Do you have a source for the version you mentioned?


Also, you say you enabled voice. How did you do that? I've got two E160's
here that have voice disabled. I could try to spend $4 for each one to
enable voice using dc-unlocker, but I was hoping someone knows another
way. There has to be one, since dc-unlocker is using it ;-)
