Unlock USB dongles

I'm looking for some forums on how to unlock my Huawei E1552 from Globe Telecom. I got this link where it provides me several ways on how to unlock it on my own. Fortunately I got an unlock code for my device. But unfortunately when I try to insert a different SIM on it, it doesn't ask me for an unlock code. I tried to modify some of its xml files but nothing helps...


I think this will work on those dongles you bought on year 2009 and below where upgrade on firmware is not yet available.


By the way, here is the link... http://www.sheeptech.com/how-to-unlock-huawei-usb-modem-for-free

Update: My quest to unlock my Globe Tattoo Huawei E1552 failed. Even changing its firmware failed. Good heavens it still works. Lesson learned: Don't buy usb dongles from Globe if you want to unlock it in the future or when it's warranty ends. I'll try my luck with my Sun Wireless Broadband USB Dongle.


You may check this link. This site contains the tools you need to unlock your Broadband USB Modems (except Huawei E1552 of Globe Tattoo as its firmware was customized by Globe themselves). Just browse...

Update again: I tried to unlock my Sun Broadband wireless Huawei E1550. I was able to key-in the Unlock code for the device. It worked! I could insert other sims there. But for some reasons, which I don't know, I can't send SMS to it using my Smart sim. I also noticed that the Firmware code is not used at all. I wonder...then I read this blog. From the steps it had enumerated, it says that I should update first the firmware of my device to be able to unlock the firmware by the Firmware code. The last step is to insert a different sim to the device to display the prompt for the Unlock code. Too late... but anyways, it is already open line... i hope I could send SMS here...


Well, that's it folks... hope it helps...

"Warning: Camera Failed" on your Samsung Galaxy phone

If you have installed any apps that uses your camera, then better sort them out. They may be the culprit that causes the warning message Camera Failed in your Samsung Galaxy phone. I don't know if it happens in other Android devices, but still this will serve as a precaution.  Camera Failed warning message normally happens when an app doesn't handle properly the camera, or never release its use in it after you close that app. In my case, I figured out that the security app I installed in my Samsung Galaxy W bugs my camera. This security app has a feature which you can remotely take photos on your phone, just using a web browser. I was so glad that it has this feature, not until when I am going to take a photo myself on the phone, it shows the warning message Camera Failed . It resolves by rebooting the phone, but after a while, its back.  I searched for some solutions in the web, and finally read about a post telling the users that a certain photo capture app is the cul

ICS Upgrade on Samsung Galaxy phones

Samsung's Global Blog logo courtesy of their website. Well I'm just so happy that my Galaxy W will get a value-pack upgrade. I'm still sad that it won't get any Ice Cream Sandwich, but I think I can live to it. Here is the link from the Samsung Global blog that says about the ICS upgrade plan for Samsung Galaxy phones. The phones not mentioned there, I'm sorry, but no luck. To add to that, here are the statements from the Product Planning Team of Samsung mobile and their thoughts about the OS upgrades people are talking about. I hope this will clear up everyone's mind about the issue. If you still want to have the ICS on your handsets, you can just root your phone and apply those custom ROMS out there. Just make sure you follow those instructions to avoid unexpected things. I don't have any plans to root and flash my Galaxy W phone with custom ROMS as of the moment. It is still in warranty period and I don't want to mess anything with i

With newer phones coming, I still love my Samsung Galaxy W

What I hate about getting a smartphone is that there are new models and units released almost every month by those mobile manufacturers, plus they are much more powerful, stylish, functional, and more energy efficient. Adding to it was they are included for free in a very competitive and affordable postpaid plans. GRRR!!! Currently I have a Samsung Galaxy W smartphone running in 1.4GHz single core processor with 4GB internal memory and Android 2.3 OS--more specs in here:  Samsung Mobile Press . I have already updated its OS from 2.3.5 to 2.3.7 via its Update utility. So far, this phone really is so durable and works the way I wanted. With an unlimited data plan included, I was able to maximize its Internet power. I had also used almost all of its features in my almost 2 months of use. The list would be as follows: 1. Make it as a WiFi hotspot. 2. Play games. 3. Listen to Music and analog FM stations 4. Browse the Internet via 3G and WiFi using its buit-in browser, Firefox,
