Globetrotter??

I've just taken delivery of a Z51, and I want to use my Vodafone SIM in it. It looks from other threads that the way to do this is using Globetrotter, but this isn't supplied with my Win7-64 machine....

Does anyone know where I can download it?

The Z51 comes with Gobi Qualcomm UNDP-1, so you can't use GlobeTrotter. You need Sony 3G Connection Manager.

 

Ok, where do I get that?

EDIT:
Found WANtoGo on Sony siye - installed that and it recognised the Vodafone SIM card....

i have a wwan module (option GTM382) in my Z that worked with globetrotter under vista32 (fress vista install with latest drivers and globetrotter connect from option.com)

I have just recently installed w7 64bit and although the wwan module itself works ok and I can use the new w7 integrated dialer to establish a 3G connection, the Globetrotter Connect sw does not recognise the wwan card (just says waiting for device and nothing else happens).

anybody with similar experience or maybe a solution?

there are some settings that can only be changed w Globetrotter, so it would be good to find a solution..

 

Hello NHT,

I still did get my Gobi2000 and temporarily I am installing the UNDP-1 (unlocked) ,
do you suggest to install the wwan driver and connection manager from the below EU model:
http://support.vaio.sony.eu/computing/vaio/downloads/preinstalled/index.aspx?l=it_IT&m=VGN-Z51WG_B

and the US smartwi only in order to get the GPS function(without Vzaccess to avoid Verizon problem),


thank you

 

Is it for your Z?
Install WWAN driver, connection manager (for the 3G). And you can install smartWi for the GPS

 

Hello NHT,

yes it is the Z790DLX.........

but I'll get the wwan driver and connection manager for 3G from the European model VGN-Z51WG/B ,

thank you for your kind help

 

Why didn't you get them from Z890's drivers? I think they are newer

 

because I think I could get some Verizon problem......so I thought to take the safe way by using European software,
what your opinion?

also I need to know from you :
I bought one Gobi 2000 which is different to the UNDP-1 ,
and I would like to install it once it will delivered to me but I didn't find the driver for the Z series,
only the P series and X series using the Gobi2000 but they have 32bit driver ,
any idea?
thank you again for your kindness

 

Ok,

I'll try the softwer belng to the Z899GBS which is the latest,
but I don't think it will be good for my future project(gobi2000),

I'll let you know later today,

best regards
F.

 

Hello NHT,

I just realized that I wasted 100$ for the UNDP-1 unlocked bought on Ebay from a Chinese seller ,the device ask for the HS-USB driver, but which one! because the Sony HS-USB modem driver and Gobi image they are already installed.........
since yesterday I am trying to make work the unlocked UNDP-1 and guess what..............
this morning I decided to try the original UNDP-1 that I found into my laptop and after restart the computer started and finished properly the installation...........and what is more incredible it is that the UNDP-1 is not Verizon locked or the HSDPA/HSUPA part only is not Verizon locked.
from this I learned do not buy anymore not original Sony released spare parts,
the UNDP-1 that I bought maybe it is from HP or others.

I used all drivers from the European model Z56XRG + the US SmartWi from the Z790DLX,

Start!

1)I unistalled everything regarding the Option GTM382E + Vaio Smart Connection previously from me installed,
2)removed the GTM382E minicard
3)switch on the laptop and download the below :
http://support.vaio.sony.eu/computi....zip&m=VGN-Z56XRG&ip=Preinstalled_Drivers.htm

http://support.vaio.sony.eu/computi....zip&m=VGN-Z56XRG&ip=Preinstalled_Drivers.htm

http://support.vaio.sony.eu/computi...ip&m=VGN-Z56XRG&ip=Preinstalled_Utilities.htm


than I installed per order :
1) VAIO_Smart_Network_3.0_3.0.0.09080.zip and I restarted the laptop,
Than I have istalled the below:
2) WWAN_Driver_R5_Generic_1.x_32bit_64bit_E_6.0_6.0.6.3_ALL.zip
3) WWAN_Connection manager_R5_Generic_ENU_1.x_32bit_64bit_E_1.0_1.0.0.1_ENU.zip


After I switched off the laptop and opened in order to install the UNDP-1,
Closed again the laptop and switch on…………..
BINGO! Everything working,

Than I left the European Smart Network with the WWAN in ON position and I unistalled the Smart Network,
I download the US Vaio Smart Wi :
http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-download.pl?mdl=VGNZ790DLX&upd_id=5152&os_id=47

install the above Vaio Smart Wi and than switch of and restart again the laptop.
BINGO,

You for sure will ask me why I used the Drivers from the European model………well….I did it to avoid the Verizon inconvenient.

what can I do in order to get the Microsoft Streets and Trips 2009 ?

I open what I have in START but it asked me for the product key,
is it possible to get it free? or how much it will cost?
