TL-WR720N and HuaWei dongles

TL-WR720N was bought in China at about 120 RMB

The first thing to configure is to connect UTP to TL-WR720N

There are three modes router, 3G , AP

1. Safetest mode is to put to router mode
connect UTP to the LAN port (again avoid LAN/WAN port)

run a browser to conect via http://192.168.1.253

2. set up the wifi option under 无线设置
put a wifi password
Check the wifi server working ok or not

3. set to 3G mode and remove the UTP and connect via wifi

4. Set up the 3G

For all Singapore telco , turn of China telco and maually set

Few setting you require

I. Dial codes
there are three options
a. *99***1#
b. *99#
c. *777#

The first one a. is to one work with M1 unlimited dial up prepaid dial up plan
as given by staff at M1 paradgon shopping center

The second is the code given by hot line

II. APN is sunsurf

III. userid is 65

IV. password user123 but we used 65 again

So all in all, the setting work is
dial code *9***1#
APN sunsurf
userid 65
password 65

A. Dongle

There are various dongles

the list are the compatible list


看起来这华为型号有在



A. I have tried with 3556-Z
Z refer to ZTE
and it failed badly

B. The staff at paradgon has tested latest E303 and it work (even though it is not in list)

C. We have another E153 and it is in the list and works


Last but not least is the sequence of connection (simultate manually)

1. Under TP configuration and status menu, TP will try to recognize the dongle
some of the model may need .bin to allow to be recognize

when recognize
the configuration status flash few times
the confirm  is when 

识别成功
and the bar even show a colour code bar on the signal strength

Then it will try to dial
(If not need to configure to auto dial or connect under one of menu)

so part I,II,III, IV play a part

If connected then there will be ip address and DNS show 

If not please check setting and power on/off router

so with the right dongle, just need to put the SIM card and it will auto connect to Internet

Allwinner/Boxchip A10 vs. RK2918

http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/31293-allwinnerboxchip-a10-vs-rk2918-what-you-should-buy/


this is the comparison between 2 chipsets

and Allwin A10 seem to win

but then

http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/31887-latest-dual-cortex-a9-chips-coming-out-soon/

confuse me for the time being post by

Nickos-V 


No you don't Vicky!!!!

You have AllWinner A10 chip which is Cortex A8. It is single core & normally comes @ 1GHz though few tablets have 1.2GHz speed. It has somewhat better GPU than my tablet otherwise *all* of the CPU benches are very close to what I get. GPU benches will give different results.

Run Sunspider and you will see somewhere between 3500-5000ms (normal for A8) though with very bad firmware, 7000-10000ms. A dual core Cortex A9 tablet will get about 1700-2200ms. Sunspider is very CPU intense bench.
http://www.webkit.or.../sunspider.html

Trust me. I have known about the AllWinner A10 chip before it was released. A10 = chip name. Just like Rockchip RK2918. RK2918 = chip name. Nvidia Tegra2. Tegra2 = chip name., etc.

AllWinner named it A10 to confuse people into thinking they have Cortex A10 when they are just buying a Cortex A8.

PS, ARM does not have any Cortex A10 chips. From A8 it goes to A9 and then A15.

PPS, Sorry if I am tough on you but this gets me worked up because I have seen many other people think the same thing and I hate dealing with Chinese misinformation.

update to Taiwan W1 ROM with google


---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Tin KOH 
Date: 2012/7/23
Subject: W1 THL-W1-0704官包卡刷ROM自用版 with google restored
To: KOH YS


I think this should be the best

I should have download last night as it is so low to download


Please take note under W1 setting: my handphone: recovery

But it is worth waiting as it is working



Please take note of the instruction wipe cache and factory (before?) and after the updating


I did after recovery进行“双wipe”

After that it is working so far

Cheers !

HL这款W1更棒
 
新手请参照以下的步骤:
1. 下载附件V9_4.0_ROOT.zip,(不要解压)并复制到手机的内部存储卡sdcard,注意不是sdcard2(根目录通俗讲就是进入内存卡后不进入任何一个文件夹,也就是说不要把文件放在文件夹里了)
2.复制好后在手机上进入  设置--->关于手机--->T卡升级  点确定进入RECOVERY模式;
3.出现感叹号后按音量上键进去recovery 菜单;
4.按 音量下键 选择第二项'apply update from sdcard',按电源键进去(千万不要选那两个wipe的)
5.选择刚才复制到卡上的V9_4.0_ROOT.zip,按电源键开始
6.root成功后最后一行显示"Install from sdcard coplete",按开机键重启手机

THL-W1-0704官包卡刷ROM自用版
基于官方0704线刷包制作,修改如下:
1、放回谷歌套件(地图、导航、谷歌纵横、快速搜索、语音搜索)
2、删除过多的铃声文件
3、删除仓吉、百度等输入法,只留系统自带拼音。
4、删除云应用
5、内外卡互换处理
6、电量1%显示 横放图
7、已ROOT(ROOT权限、加RE管理器、软启动)
无其它增删了。




顺便分享一个MTK6575通用写IMEI码工具:



写码过程图文操作说明:  http://products.mobileuncle.com/thread-142531-1-1.html


卡刷步骤:
1、下载本包到你的电脑并解压
2、把里面的【THL_W1_TF_update0612_all.zip】拷贝到你W1手机的内置卡根目录
3、拔掉USB数据线(务必)
4、进入手机的【系统设置】找到【关于手机】点进去,点第一项【T卡升级】,点【确定】(关机状态长安组合键:【音量+】+【开机键盘】)
5、看到躺着的绿色安卓机器人后,按【音量+】键进入菜单,按【音量-】选中【apply update from sdcard】后按【开机键】进行确定
6、按【音量-】选中【THL_W1_TF_update0612_all.zip】后按【开机键】进行确定,开始刷机。
7、进度完成后显示“Installation complete”字样并返回菜单,选中【reboot system now】后按【开机键】进行确重启手机
8、进入手机
9、(可选但推荐)双WIPE,
参考第4第5步的操作,但选中的是【wipe data/factory reset】,按【开机键】进行确定。
完成返回菜单再选【wipe cache partition】按【开机键】进行确定。
完成返回菜单选中【reboot system now】后按【开机键】进行确重启手机

注意:
卡刷前后最好进入recovery进行“双wipe”,
以免手机保留了你卡刷前的旧用户数据,尤其是卡刷前使用的是非官方原版ROM的用户,避免不必要的错误。
这点适用于完全版和精简版的卡刷。
