Huawei E220 HSDPAUSBmodem

The Huawei E220 is a HuaweiHSDPA access device (modem) manufactured by Huawei and notable for using the USB interface (USB modem).

HUAWEI, as the world's top manufacture of telecom equipments, its advanced technology in LTE application and deployment makes HUAWEI 4G LTE modem become the most popular and qualified mobile terminal all over the world. Following the deployment of 4G LTE network in Europe, Asia, Australia and North America, Huawei had released many 4G 100M Modem to public for different markets. Huawei Modem Driver Windows 10 UpdateStar has been tested to meet all of the technical requiremen. Hi, you to get all Huawei Smartphone USB drivers with an easy installation guide. Huawei USB driver is an important part of all Huawei Smartphones which enable you to easily connect your Huawei android device with the PC or laptop.

Technically it is a modem, USB and (due to the CDfs format) virtual CD-ROM device.

Launched on 21 June 2006,[1] the device is used for wireless Internet access using 3.5G, 3G, or 2G mobile telephony networks. It supports UMTS (including HSDPA), EDGE, GPRS and GSM.

A Modem Driver is software that allows your computer to access and use the installed modem. Modem driver problems may occur if the Modem drivers are improperly configured, incompatible with your operating system (such as Windows) or corrupt.

E220 works well with Linux, as support for it was added in Linux kernel 2.6.20 (2007-02-04[2]), but there are workarounds for distributions with older kernels.[3][4][5][6] The card is also supported by Vodafone Mobile Connect Card driver for Linux, and it is possible to monitor the signal strength through other Linux applications.[7]

Most 3G network operators bundle the device with a contract, with some operators simlocking[8] the device. Unlocked and unbranded modems can also be bought from independent suppliers.

Features[edit]

The device contains not only the cellular antenna but also about 22 MB (10 MB on older versions) of storage memory accessible to the operating system as a USB mass storage device[9] formatted with CDfs, thus emulating a CD-ROM drive. In this memory, E220 devices supplied by mobile operators may contain 3G dialer software written by the operator, while Huawei-branded devices contain Huawei's original dialing software, which they call 'Dashboard'. Huawei's Dashboard and updates for it are also available from Huawei's website,[10] or the 11.313.02.00.01 firmware for 7.2 Mbit/s from NetCom (in reality 'flashing' this device means writing a firmware image to its internal flash memory, which is different from 'updating the dashboard', which is simply writing a new CDFS disc image to the USB mass storage device that appears in the operating system). Flashing the firmware of this device doesn't change the USB Mass Storage memory used for the operator's software, therefore connection settings (such as APN) will be retained. When the device is first attached, Windows will automatically run the software stored on it, unless that feature has been turned off in Windows. This feature can be bypassed by pressing the Shift key while attaching the device, or by turning off the autostart feature entirely. It is possible to remove the operator branding by flashing the device with Huawei's Mobile Partner software.Huawei does not publicly release firmware updates for its devices, only Dashboard updates. The standard way of obtaining firmware updates is through the service provider, however some firmware updates are publicly available over the Internet and some users have cross-flashed (i.e. using a firmware provided by service provider 'X' with modem supplied by service provider 'Y') their modems without trouble.Updating the modem's Dashboard does not remove or affect the network-lock (that may be in effect with modems purchased subsidized from a service provider) that prevents you from using the modem with any service provider. However updating the modem's firmware may remove this network-unlock or even the opposite, turn a network-unlock free modem into an unlocked one.

Hardware[edit]

The E220 connects to the computer with a standard Mini USB cable. The device comes with two cables, one short and one long. The long one has two USB A interfaces, one used for data and power and the other optionally only for assistance power in case the computer is not able to provide the full 500 mA (milliamperes) required for the device to work from one USB interface only.If the connection is frequently disrupted or is unstable (or usable at slow speeds only), the two plug USB cable should be used instead.

The E220 antenna is internal; the USB cable does not act as an antenna. The external antenna connector is not accessible without opening the device (voiding any warranty). It is still possible to connect an external antenna without opening the device and using the (internal) external antenna connector. Together with a high gain antenna like an LPDA or an OMNI booster antenna and an adapter, signal strength can be considerably improved.There is also a way to do this, open the modem, remove the small internal antenna, and solder a UMTS-antenna cable onto the board. The warranty will be invalidated, but it can be a cheap and functional way to connect an external antenna.[11]

Software[edit]

Vodafone 3GUSBmodem

The Huawei E220 includes its own Windows software in its internal memory, which self-installs through the Windows's auto-start feature and can be flashed (overwritten) by the end user. The standard software by Huawei is called Mobile Partner and is indicated by the code UTPS.

Some network operators selling the E220, however, replace Huawei's software with their own, which often is software-locked (albeit not SIM-locked) to work only with the operator's own network. End-users can use also third-party open source software PyHumod or freeware MWconn.

Huawei drivers for windows 10

Since the release of Windows 7 users have reported a number of issues that require a firmware upgrade to the modem. Huawei have released new firmware to the operators, who have generally made it available on their websites. The firmware upgrade must be carried out from a machine running Windows XP or Windows Vista and which can see the modem. Once this is complete Windows 7 can see and use the modem.

The following operator(s) are known to replace Huawei's software with their own:

  • BASE eplus (Germany),
  • BT Business (UK),
  • Claro (Americas),
  • Dialog Axiata (Sri Lanka),
  • Drei (Austria),
  • Metfone (Cambodia),
  • MTS (Russia),

I have signed another Section of a Contract with a Telecommunication Operator for an Internet Mobile Modem 4G E3372 Dongle produced by the Huawei Technologies Corporation Limited based in Bantian, Longgang District, Shenzhen, 518129, People's Republic of China.

The Huawei Corporation does not offer support for any kind of Dongle on its Support Web-Page.

The Cardboard Box of the Device specifies that the Compatible Operating System List does not include the Microsoft Windows 10 Operating System.

The Official Huawei Specification Web-Page of the E3372 Dongle also does not list the Microsoft Windows 10 Operating System among the Supported Operating Systems.

Huawei Modem Driver Download

The Cardboard Box of the Device specifies that the Interface Type is USB 2.0 High Speed.

The ASUS machine is endowed with an USB 2.0 Port and with an USB 3.0 Port.

All these being said, nothing is happening when I am inserting the Dongle in either USB Port.

I have already tested this Issue on two Machines running the Microsoft Windows 10 Operating System. On the other Machine, I have selected running the AutoRun.EXE Executable Binary File upon the Insertion of the Dongle in an USB 2.0 Port, but nothing has been run afterwards.

Attempting to run various Third-Party Device Drivers (produced by the Lenovo Corporation, for instance) using the Microsoft Windows 8 Compatibility Mode has not solved this Issue so far.

Amazingly enough, the Telecommunication Operator has allegedly not encountered this Issue so far and they are waiting for my Status Report in order to tell them whether I have been able to solve the issue on my own or not.

Please advise.

E3372 does not work in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. It does work in older Windows 10 versions. Huawei support told me yesterday that Microsoft is working on a windows update to adress the issue.

We have also stumbled on this problem and there is a workaround that can be found here.

'Hey,

Driver Nextel Usb Modem Huawei

I solved the problem by realizing that the modem isn't able to find itself an I.P. address, so you have to do it yourself in the Windows options:

  1. Go to the Control Panel, search for the Control Panel.
  2. Navigate to Network and Internet ->Network and Sharing Center
  3. On the right sidebar, you will see Change adapter settings, go there.
  4. There you will see a few devices, open the one that has a greyed text: Remote N.D.I.S. based Internet Sharing Device (some text probably cut out).
  5. Properties -> Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) by clicking on it ->Properties.

  6. Click on Use the following I.P. address: and fill in these values:

    I.P. address: 192.168.1.100

    Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

    Default gateway: 192.168.1.1

    These D.N.S. servers are Google Public D.N.S.'s, you can use your preferred one if you want.

    Preferred D.N.S. server: 8.8.8.8

    Alternate D.N.S. server: 8.8.4.4

    And check the tick box that says Validate settings upon exit.

  7. Click OK and it should work wonders after this.'
