I did this, but no voice or anything yet. :(. Weird thing is i did saw the call log buttons and few others when i first mistakenly installed just the windows app.

Antenna:

In GEB there are quite a few ones for ~1500

Saw somewhere that 3gmodemstore.com also retails antennae

I got speeds upto 500KB/sec with these.

@varkey

I am getting error while updating firmware:

a)the data card is not properly connected to pc

b)other program using the data card

c)you do not have the authority of the administrator

I am the administrator of my laptop, Data card is well connected and none of the other program is using the data card, I have already uninstalled the mobile connector.

Please help, thanks

Try this:

Install the Mobile partner from your data card (whatever came with the data card) and then run the firmware updater (make sure that the mobile partner is not running in the back round)

The first antenna I ordered didn't work. It actually worsened the Signal levels. Told the seller about this and he refunded the payment.

So ordered another 9 dBi Antenna shown here, but contacted the seller directly and got it for $13 shipped. This one looks much better and seems to be of better quality. Anyway will update when I get it, was shipped on Nov 4th, so should reach me by end of the month.

@dragon - Two of my friends are using the E122 with the stock firmware and are getting 3-3.5Mbps easily. They never faced any issues.
 
i dunno folks...

my speeds are pathetic now... getting under 10KB/s.... :S.... good think i didnt went for 4200. would have been heartbroken

Was the cake a lie?

My signal strength is -93dbm ....

no idea why i am getting such low speeds... when i start something speeds are good... then suddenly it drops.. :(
 
Supra said:
^^ We dont know lol :p

Just follow this tutorial and try connecting and post your speeds :p

Not getting information with google search either, anyway I have updated the firmware, following are the speed result (without any ext. cable)

 
The signal strength is important .Check it in diagnostics . If the tower is near you are lucky , otherwise it will not be up to full speed . You can check where is the tower using an android app.

Any recommended antennas for E122 ? .I am interested if some one can GO .

Get a magnetic mount antenna and crc9 connector from the local shop and assemble them and attach to the antenna port. I am using them. Higher the dBm reading the better the speed u will get(better @ -71Bm to -77dBm, bad @-95 to-100dBm)

Firmware is generally used to UNLOCK 3g usb modem devices and some of its features(voice calling etc) if locked to any particular provider. But in some cases it improves/upgrades or worsen the performance.
 
Where can i get these in blore ?

Got my E122 today (from ebay).

Mobile partner that came with the modem (packed date : Sep 2010) didn't work.

I Updated Mobile partner from DC files.

Now it works.Signal strength 99%.Average speed 3.6 Mbps.I was getting the same speed earlier with my Nokia C5 too.So i guess the speed is locked at 3.6

Is there any redial options with the "Mobile partner" ? I couldn't find one in the options menu.

Happy downloading ! :)

EDIT : updated firmware and dashboard from DC files.
