E156B detected as AE156B, no voice activation option

[germanri]

Hello,

I am trying to use DC-Unlocker to activate voice feature in a Huawei E156B. I already upgraded the firmware to version 11.609.10.00.264, and modem is detected using MobilePartner:

However, using dc-unlocker I get the following:

================================================== =================

DC - Unlocker 2 Client 1.00.1233

Detecting modem :

selection :

model - Auto detect (recommended)

Found Diagnostics port COM4

The modem is detected as AE156B, and voice activation option is not enabled. Is there any specific version of dc-unlocker for this kind of modem? Or is there an additional requirement? Thanks!

This is not related how it is detected, in your case there is no voice feature detected on this firmware that modem has now. Otherwise try to detect modem with both com ports instead just one, make sure mobile partner is not running on pc or else application port will be busy and device won't get detected correctly.

Finally it worked!! I connected the modem to another USB port (an onboard port, as the one I was using was part of a multi card reader). Now the COM ports assigned were 8 and 9, instead of 3 and 4, and dc-unlocker detected the modem correctly and can activate voice. Thanks!!
