Hello Guys.
I recently bought international Kindle DXG and found one problem.
I live outside the USA and live in a small town. I have no 3g connection and it's impossible to use Kindle free internet. What is important I don't need at all.
Can I remove 3g modem and will it encrease operation time for my Kindle. I think yes because 3g connection need voltage some time even if it's disabled in Kindle menu (whispernet is off). I think it's true because every gsm module checks it's parameters and location for some period of time. If you don't believe, see logs.
I have some questions to enthusiasts who have tried installing different mods on mini PCI-e slot:
1)Will my Kindle work if I remove modem from it? What difficulties it can lead? What cables/contacts I have to disconnect on motherboard of kindle?
As we can see
here wireless card number is: E727NV WN2. Is it a 3g modem or not? I didn't find imei, it looks strange.
2)What do I have to do after turning on my kindle? Do I have to edit system entries or something else. I have read in
this post that you have to change lines in /opt/amazon/ebook/config/browser_prefs
Maybe this?
If somebody else has removed modem please write your opinion. How long device works: longer or the same.
Thanks
