The HUAWEI Mobile Partner connection client, shown below as the OiSTER connection client, is logging excessively to your hard disk. You can read more about this in the blog posting concerning Telenor’s use of HUAWEI Mobile Partner.

I am very glad to be able to forward to you a fix for the excessive logging to your hard disk.

Before turning the logging off the Mobile Broadband Logging Monitor would show up to 142 log changes pr. minute, which would mean more than 68.000 changes on a workday (8 hours).

To stop the excessive logging you have to locate the installation directory of HUAWEI Mobile Partner (in this case is was “C:\Program Files\Mobile Partner”, but it may reside in other locations as well). Make a backup copy of the RunInfo.ini file and open thereafter the RunInfo.ini file with Notepad.

You will see a section of information like this:

[TraceSet]
TraceLevel=4
TracePath=Log\trace_0.txt
ATRecord=Y
ATRecordPath=Log\ATRecord.txt

Change these to the values below:

TraceLevel=1
ATRecord=N

Save the file and re-start the application. The Mobile Broadband Logging Monitor now gives a totally different output showing only two changes to the log files. I can tell you that these changes were done at startup of the application and no changes were made hereafter. The projected 8-hour value is therefore not valid in this case. Very nice! :-)

There’s only one thing left to wish for and that is a way to disable the excessive use of the Windows Registry. Do you have information on this? Please share in comments below.
