Preventing 3 Mobile Broadband from continuously writing huge log files

On my system I’ve noticed that 3 MobileBroadband.exe continuously writes to the following 4 trace/log files:

  • ATRecord.txt
  • Callbalk_trace.txt  (note the mis-spelling of what I presume should be Callback_trace.txt)
  • Func_trace.txt
  • trace_0.txt

On my system, the ATRecord.txt file is over 12MB!

There is a setting that controls this behaviour in the RunInfo.ini file.

In the [TraceSet] section of \Program Files\3 MobileBroadband\RunInfo.ini

  • Change the TraceLevel parameter from 4 to 0 (zero).
  • Change the ATRecord parameter from Y to N

Make sure that 3 MobileBroadband.exe is not running and then you can safely delete the log files in the
\Program Files\3 MobileBroadband\Log folder and restart 3 MobileBroadband.exe

NOTE: When 3 MobileBroadband.exe starts, a zero-byte trace_0.txt file will be created in the Log folder, but the file will no longer be written to.
