rabii

Hi all,

After days of looking on line and investigating I install the driver and the application for my 5530 WWAN, working fine
With windows 7 32Bit
Now my question is the GPS driver is just goon I can’t find it any more I try to installing the windows 7 driver alone the GPS visible in port 7, but dell wireless manager don’t detect the device, after instating A9 software from dell website the GPS drive just goes and I can’t see it any more

Can anybody have a prober solution to install the hardware properly with all the functions

Regards

Hello Rabii,

from where did you get the driver? I have installed today a 5530 in my XPS M1330, made a clean install with Windows 7 32 bit, but no way. I tried several drivers from Dell, but no one works (during install it blocks saying that I cannot install 5530 on this Hardware). But windows recognize the precense of the HW.

Thanks in advannce

Many thanks! I use Windows 7 - 32 bit.
Is the Dell Driver correct for this OS? (in the title it seems yes, but in the instruction the speek about 64 bit).

One more question: after installing the driver which application do you use for connecting? I would be happy if works UMTS, i am not interesting in GPS (almost at the moment). Or do you use only native Windows 7 connection?

sincerly

Hello Rabii,

in the meantime I installed the Dell Driver - it seem successfully, because the Device Manager shows now the 5530 driver.

But I am not able to make step 2. I downloaded the indicated file, extracted it, but there is no setup. Furthermore if I try to right click on the singel .inf files and choose "Install" a get on all 8 files the message: "the selected .inf file does not support this metod of installation" (translated from italian, so not 100% equal).

And if I try from the device manager to update the 5530 driver it does not fond anything in the created diretories. Could you explain me please how I should "re-update every driver separatley"?

Of course I was hopefull and tried to use the Dell Wireless Manager (last found version on Dell Site: R262123) - but I get only the message that there is no comunication with WWAN board. Furthermore, therefore I also did not try any other version of the Dell Wireless Manager, also Windows 7 offers me no possibility to connect - with other, newer, notebooks I have seen that with Windows 7 a WWAN connection is identical to a WLAN connection.

Hope to hear from you soon
Sincerley

Sorry for my third post without your answer. Only to tell you, that with the indicated (old) application it seems to work - almost the application founds the WWAN and identifies correctly the provider of the inserted SIM. But than, after push connection, I get a timeout error. Will further investigate and let you know.

hi
is radio on?
did your dell or sony ericsson manager found your device?
what sim you using?
do you know how to setup APN?

brunoben

yes radio is ON
yes, the dell manager found my device
I use TIM (italian main operator)
now, i did not find how to setup APN, i looks that it happens automatically.

But the post of yesterday was to optimistic: after the next reboot the same manager that first told me that I have SIM and a good UMTS signal now says me that there is no SIM. Any ideas?

rabii

For the SIM I knew that well happen that’s the reason I advice to change the SIM drive
For TIM APN:
APN: ibox.tim.it
Username: blank
Password: blank
If you need a step by step how to update the following Pm me and I well send you screen shoot.
