Vodafone Mobile Broadband on Mavericks

Finally I found a solution available and easy:

1) Upgrade to last Vodafone Mobile Broadband

2) Shutdown your MacBook Pro.

3) Connect your USB Device K3765 (with your Mac off)

4) Start your MacBook Pro.

5) Run Vodafone Mobile Broadband

And, runs correctly.

I have done this several times and has worked in all.

If you put in hibernation state the Mac, without disconnecting USB device, when returning to raise the screen, it also works without problems.

Updating to the latest firmware and Vodafone Mobile Broadband software did not solve the issue for me. However, I found the following solution.

1) Install the latest Vodafone Mobile Broadband (VMB).

2) Open VMB, go to its Preferences. On the "Start & Quit" tab, use the following:

- Do not start this application (when OS X starts up)

- Untick "Start this application when a mobile device is plugged in or switched on"

This ensures that VMB does never start automatically.

3) Now, in System Preferences, in the Network section there should be a Vodafone K3765 modem. Set it to use the following (using an administrator account):

- telephone number *99#

- account name vodafone

- password vodafone

- tick Show modem status in menu bar

- Apply

4) Now, from the modem icon in the menu bar you can connect and disconnect.

The VMB software is never started. You cannot use it to monitor your usage. However, you can start and stop the modem using standard Apple controls, and the connection will not disconnect after a few seconds.

It may not be ideal but this works realiably for me; the VMB software does not.

Good morning. You need first remove all Boradband Software and Config in your Mac. Second, verify if the firmware verison of your USB device are the last (if not, ugrade). Thirth, instal 4.09.17.00 from Vodafone global site. Restart you MacBook Pro.

Hi, I have the same problem but managed to get the internet connection working with a work-around:

- Let the "vodafone mobile broadband" app connect.

- Open the force quit menu and quit the vodafone app (before it disconnects).

- Wait for it to close.

- Check that the connection established led light is active.

- Try using the internet.

I did this by chance and its working fine. I'll keep using this work-around until a better solution comes up (probably an app update).

Cheers

I have the same Problems with K3765 Device

My solution:

Open Network and adding new HUAWEI Device

Add a telephon nummer like 1234

Chosse in additional options GPRS (GSM/G3)

Removing VMB Software from the MAC

Now you are able to connect to G3.

There is a new Maverics compatible version 4.10.04 available at https://www.business.vodafone.com/site/bus/public/enuk/support/10_productsupport /laptop_connectivity/40_software/software/10_latest/p_software.jsp?mac

Problem resolved with version 4.09.17.00 (25015) in my Huawei Vodafone K3765 with firmware 11.126.03.09.00 (last) in my MacBook Pro.

Hi I had the same problem with my MBP and a Huawei k3765 Surfstick. My solution was the Mobile Partner Software from Huawei.

AngeloDS,

you can check the firmware when going to Help / Diagnose.

I'm having the same issue with my MacBookPro and K3765.

I am using now the last Vodafone Mobile Software and the last Firmware.

I have done a firmware update with Windows, even if I allready had the last version.

I works perfectly in my MacBook pro in a Parallels Desktop VM with Windows 7, but it has the same issue as reported above with Maverichs.

It conects, but there is no dataflow and then it hangs up after soem seconds.

Regards, Carsten

Just came off the phone to Vodafone Technical Support regarding this problem and they confirm they are aware of this problem and are working on an update of their software. Why do so many thinks go wrong when Apple issue a new operating system? QuickTime ***** too. I've stopped using it now for an alternative.

Yes, it's true. You need make this with a Windows environment (or i a PC or in a Virtual Parallels Machine in your Mac). I have Parallels desktop installed.

Have you upgraded the vod mob broad at last version? with upgrade i have solved.

Eelco, your solution works perfectly, but only after I removed the PIN from the SIM.

Thanks!!

I found my device firmware in http://huaweifirmwares.com/download/vodafone-huawei-usb-driver-k3765-k4505/. You can try to found your device here. Now, with this changes, my device and my MacBook Pro runs correctly.

Thanks NX70.

Installed yesterday and it appears to work as it should.

It has asked to install Java SE 6 (if I well remember), which I accepted.

Problem is solved.
