T400s GPS - Ericsson F3507g Windows 7 drivers

[david99]

Hi All,

I would like to highlight that drivers for WWAN fro Windows 7 arent working properly. I have T400s with WWAN Ericsson F3507g, 3G broadband is working fine, only GPS isnt working at all. When I open GPS enabler all the time I have stallite acquisition in progress and all values are N/A. Also Garmin Mobile PC isnt able to recognise this GPS. I have tried with preinstalled Windows 7 pro 32 bit, and also with Windows 7 ultimate 32 and 64 bit - always the same GPS not working at all.

After that installed Vista as a test, here GPS is working fine also Garmin is able to operate with it. When Vista drivers are installed in Windows 7 GPS seems to be working but after that wifi profiles in Access connections arent working properly.

All tests were made at the same time (5 minutes) at the same place, so GPS signal was good and conditions were same for Vista and also for Windows 7.

So Lenovo team please fix this problem with GPS drivers for WIN7.

Thank you,

David

Where you indoors or outdoors when you tried the GPS connection?

I have a T400s, which originally had Vista.

I upgraded to Windows 7, but can't get my mobile broadband working.  I installed a new driver for Ericsson 3507G (driver 7uw706ww) but either the Ericsson hardware is not found, or otherwise I am told that the SIM-card can not be found.

Did anyone encounter the same problem, and found a solution ?

Hello, i was outdoors during testing.

I checked original drivers but it seems that these drivers arent compatible with windows 7.

to GBENS:

I have installed the same package in WIN7 - wireless broadband is working fine, also all components were found and detected correctly. Only GPS isnt working for me, try to uninstall all versions of mobile broadband you have installed reboot and install new version again.

to david99: Well i have test it on Windows 7 ultimate x64 and it works correctly.

Thanks for a tip, I have tried to download drivers on your link, but immediately noticed that drivers are for GC89 card which is PCMCIA card. Anyway I downloaded it and tried to install, but unsuccessfully, I get some error with WLAN and also unrecognized F3507g card in device manager wasnt installed.

Well what i did, i have installed drivers from Lenovo and then this utility, because i don't like Lenovo Access Connection application generally. May be you did not install drivers from Lenovo before.

Hello all from Lenovo,

I think that there is time for upgraded drivers for F3507g for windows 7 isnt it? I was waiting for WIN7 with this notebook and finally when this version was avaliable on market there is not everything working. So please release some update to get GPS working on WIN7.

Thanks,

David
