  1. Hi Dazzle,

    recently I bought one of these: XTPower MP-10000 Powerbank

    Powers my MKIV and a 16GB USB stick connected to the 12V outlet for at least 10 hours. Can even charge my smartphone over one of the USB ports at the same time. Looks quite similar to the AnkerĀ® Astro3 10000mAh battery pack discussed in the battery options thread.

    Thanks for your reply, I really prefer getting a single 10000mAh one instead of 2 seperate ones

    The one you posted looks just like the Astro3 indeed but it could just be a cheap ripoff which im afraid of actually :unsure:

    Thanks,

    Dazzle

  2. Whistle Master,

    thanks for your reply. In fact my 3G configuration was inspired by your posting in the thread you mentioned.

    After a lot of googling and experimenting I finally discovered that my modem not a E173 but a E173s-1 also sold as Vodaphone/Huawei K3770 ! Should not matter much as the modem is properly recognized by the Pineapple and I can connect to my providers 3G network . . .

  3. Hi everybody,

    long time reader, 1st time poster here.

    My pineapple refuses to connect over a Huawei E173 3G USB modem. The same modem works in my notebook and PC under Ubuntu without any problems. These are my config files and logs:

    pineapple MK4, firmware 1.1.1

    lsusb output:

    my 3G script section:

    Jan  1 00:01:57 Pineapple daemon.notice pppd[2860]: Modem hangup
    

    My understanding is that the basic 3G configuration is ok. As soon as a 3g connection is established it stops however. Another problem is that I cannot use the 8GB MicroSD card I have installed as is gets mounted in read only mode only.

    Thank you very much in advance.
