[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caswellsam:
Hi people I have a small problem trying to tether my Desire HD.

I have rooted the handset and installed custom roms successfully. However,

When trying to USB tether I can connect it to my laptop (running XP) via USB tendering option on the phone. However I cannot connect to the internet on my laptop. Can anyone help ?? I have tried downloading USB tether tools or apps but no luck.

I have noticed that even though I have chosen USB tether if I go

Settings - wireless networks. And scroll down to the bottom,

The USB tether option is not ticked, trying to tick the box just brings up "unable to turn on"

I'm stumped as my friends Desire easily tethers on my laptop.

I am on Orange and have an " unlimited" data plan.

Thanks in advance people

Hmm that's weird.... try to unplug your dhd from your pc and activate usb tethering in the settings. Normally it should turn on even without being connected to a pc.

If there's still an error, it's probably an issue with your rom

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Feltwo:
When I bought my DHD , I had the same problem , because I used to press either "Internet pass through" or "USB tethering" without waiting the phone to establish a stable connection to the PC .Later I realized that if I firstly turn on "Charge only" , because in this way the phone is able to establish a stable connection , and later I turn on "Internet pass through" or "Usb tethering" , the internet connection get established succesfully.So I suggest you to follow these instructions , I hope they could fix your issue :

-Press "Charge Only" when you have connected your phone to the PC . Wait a few seconds ( 10-15 ) , later you could press "usb tethering " .

-If this haven't helped you , you could try this

-Go to Control Panel - > Network Connections - > Press " Local Area Connection " icon ( which ressembles Monitors ) - > Press " Properties " - > Scroll down the column , which has appeared , till you found the row , in which is written " Internet Protocal TCP/IP" , and press it - > In both "general" and "alternate connection" press the circle , where is written " Obtain an IP adress , automatically " .

- After you have done this , try to establish USB tethering connection .

I hope this may fix your problem : ))

I've actually an even more strange behavouir....it looks connected (at least I've the icon in my tray area), but it is not working...

I've also tried to pass before from the charge only and then tick the USB tethering option, I've re-install the HTC sync and the sdk suite, I've done a factory reset....but nothing!!!

Any idea???

Hi can the owners of flytouch3 4 gig and 8 gig please tell me when going into Settings/Internal device storage What their available space is please.

As mine was only 780 mg out of the box and going down with every app i install.

My Flytouch3 is an 8 gig There is 6gig in the local folder but this is not much use as the apps do not install there.

Thanks in advance
[LG Optimus 2x] unfnknblvbl:
I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S, and I'm thinking of upgrading to a new phone in the coming months (there's loads of annoying issues with the SGS). The Optimus 2X is appealing to me because it's out now for a decent price, and so will probably be cheaper when time comes to upgrade.

I have a few questions though, to which I've not found the answers elsewhere in my admittedly feeble attempt at searching;

Does the phone ship with an unlocked or unlockable bootloader?

Further to that, how difficult is it to root?

How much space is there in the /system/ and /data/ partitions?

What filesystem does the phone use natively (The SGS uses RFS, which is slooooow)?

What's the custom ROM situation like? Everything I've seen so far is based on stock - is/are there no completely custom ROMs?

Further to the above, has LG released source to their drivers? I imagine that being an nVidia chipset, they'd be using a 'binary blob' with a 'shim' like they do with Linux...

Does this phone use the standard Android tools & partitions, or do you have to deal with another program (like Samsung's Odin utility)? By "tools & partitions" I mean using fastboot to flash the various images (fastboot recovery.img recovery, for example)

Does the LG cruft slow the phone down in any way?

Your helpful replies will be most appreciated (and probably your unhelpful ones, too) :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Piter1225:
1) The bootloader is unlocked

2) Getting root is peace of cake

3) System partition is around 350 MB, data partition is 1,2 GB

4) EXT3, EXT2

5) The device is rather new, but there are few custom ROMs based on stock, and there is a proof of CM7 booting, the official CM support is in works :)

6) There are sources for kernel, and several drivers, haven't investigated much, you can download SU660 source code and check it yourself for more info

7) Getting to fastboot is a bit tricky and not as simple as in many devices, but there is fastboot, and flashing via fastboot works. There is also deicated nvflash tool.

8) Yes, it slows it a little bit, check out TMobile G2X preview to see how fast it is with stock Android, but 3rd part launcher also solves that problem.
[LG Optimus 2x] unfnknblvbl:
Brilliant. Thank you very much for that :)

US G2X

Thinking of getting that one. Have MT4G, but with impending AT&T takeout, thinking of selling it on eBay while still able to get halfway decent price (prices have dropped some since announcement). The G2x is going to also have AT&T 3G/4G bands, so would not be a dead-end device.

I have read reviews of the 2X which said the screen is less responsive by design. Question - how does it work/feel in everyday use?

[LG Optimus 2x] n1h1l1sT:
i'm moving from Windows Mobile to Android.

However i cannot afford to lose all my contacts just because stupid Android doesnt synchronize with Outlook!

So i really need a link to a program that either:

1) Synchronizes one's Android 2.3 Device with microsoft outlook

2) Synchronizes one's outlook with one's Gmail account

the program must be free (one way or another :P ), i dont want to have to pay even more money for something google should have taken care itself.

thanks a looooooooot to anyone who can locate that program for me, cuz i tryed and all i succeeded in was to find hollow posts and a program that you need to pay for :mad:
[LG Optimus 2x] spawndk:
It has nothing todo with Android or Google

Outlook is an Exchange client, and email client and a PIM (personal information manager), not a mailserver

Android's mail client and contactlists synchs with mailservers that can be reached online - like Exchange - if you dont use Outlook as an Exchange client but as a local PIM only it has no way of syncing with a PIM which is only a local database of information on your PC.

Synching between local PIM's and your Android device can only be done by software on your PC and its not Google's or Android responsibility to provide synching software for your PC for every kind of PIM that exist. This is the responsibility of either the PIM manufacturer or third partys, like phone manufacturers or others. In case of an LG phone synch software is supplied with LG PC Suite, install this and you will be able to synch between Outlook and your phone (not between Outlook and Gmail)

Exporting your outlook contacts to Gmail is very simple if you just want this

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/o...ook-contacts-to-google-gmail-HA001148902.aspx

I highly recommend you start using Gmail as PIM instead of Outlook - atleast if you want an Android/Google phone and integration with this.
[LG Optimus 2x] jpbl1976:
Once you've set up Gmail on your device, I suggest you use the free Outlook Connector. It now supports office 2010 (although not the 64-bit variety). That way, your Outlook e-mail (assuming you use your Gmail e-mail either as Pop or IMAP within outlook) and calendar are synced.

Or, if you prefer the 64-bit flavor of Outlook, you can do what I did: I use this program called gSnycit (it's paid software, though) and I use it to merge my data between the Google cloud and my PC/desktop. It's really useful too; by using it, I have the same e-mail across multiple android phones and even my 4th gen ipod touch.
[LG Optimus 2x] n1h1l1sT:
can you please give me a link to the free outlook connector?
[LG Optimus 2x] jpbl1976:
Sorry, I recalled incorrectly: it's called Google Calendar Sync: http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=89955

could you please re-phrase?
[LG Optimus 2x] T_Virus:
Dont ask for cracks to get around payment on apps, pay for it if you like and need the program.
[LG Optimus 2x] Zaphod_b_1:
If you want to sync your MS Outlook directly without Google, there should three possibilities/applications which are available legally for free:

1) LG Sync (don't know where to get, pls look at the LG webpage)

2) MyPhoneExplorer (Here)

3) Funambol (Here)

Outlook to Android synchronisation

There is quick developpimg official tool: Android-sync. (As well as I am new here, it is not allowed for me to post a link - so, just add dot com to the "android-sync" and you are there)

It is free, syncing well android with Outlook - not finished.

So far it is syncing contacts (without pics/photos) without any issue, and calendar.

Authors promise to complete this tool with notes and tasks - it started somewhen in this January having cca 3-4 weeks period for new version...

I use it without any issue :-)

Once it is completely, recharged, switch ON the phone

I have used the Hero for 1.5 years and was very satisfied with its GPS. But the GPS in IS is a real let down. It takes much longer to get a lock (several minutes vs seconds in Hero) and is very unstable even after a lock is acquired.

I thought maybe in Hero I've updated to the latest radio. But not sure if more updated radio will be available for IS later.

Anyone has a different experience?
[HTC Incredible S] DaanJordaan:
My GPS is absolutely fantastic. Same as my Hero.

But waaay better then my Galaxy S.
[HTC Incredible S] doctorsax:
Have you tried using an app like GPS Status? Using that you can download localised assistance data for the A-GPS chip in your phone to allow it to lock on faster. I start that up when Maps is struggling to lock, refresh the data and it fixes every time.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kabantik:
Hey there folks, after my battle with Verizon, Bestbuy and Motorola I finally found an Android phone that would work for me (for the most part) up here in Canada. I have only had one issue so far and that would be using it in my vehicle with the USB port on-board.

I've had the phone for a few months now and never really needed this functionality until my 2nd iPod of the year was "liberated" from my vehicle over night. Now since buying the phone I've rooted, installed Darky's ROM series and formated the internal 16GB and external 16GB SD cards before putting my songs onto the external in a folder just labeled 'music'. Here is what I have just so you get a better idea:

-SG:S I9000M (Bell) with Darky Mod/ROM 9.5

-GM Chevrolet Tahoe (2010) with a standard USB port (which apparently works with thumb drives too but I might as well try to get my phone to work, charger + music = winning).

Lots of good R&R, and some really crappy techno (JK I like electronic too & classical as well as long walks on the beach).

-USB connection styles I've tried include: Mass Storage, Debugging, and Media Player (Kies no longer appears since I don't use Touch Wiz).

-The error my vehicle throws out is "Unknown device connected"

So I pose the question: do I need some config file on the SD cards, the phone or in a folder to tell my vehicle what the heck I just plugged in or do I need to put my music in a special folder? I don't know how apple does it, but I hate apple since their latest iPod update (Media Monkey can no longer sync the music without the iPod whining and slitting it's digital wrists about syncing with iTunes) which forced me to install iTunes (which I consider a virus since you absolutely have to install Qtime and it creates shortcuts everywhere and runs at startup).

Any input is appreciated, I did a quick search on XDA and I couldn't find any relevant topics, or I'm incompetent, one or the other.

TL;DR: Galaxy S I9000 + 2010 Tahoe + USB = not working
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3loaded2010:
Looking at how the SGS presents itself to a host device, I believe that it hides its mass storage device (among others, such as networking and ADB connection) under a hub device rather than on its own as would happen with a typical USB thumb drive. The computer cannot read the past this hub device until the Samsung drivers are installed, upon which the mass storage device is then visible.

I tried hooking my SGS up to a digital photo frame once and the photo frame couldn't read it since it couldn't see a mass storage device. So unless you can somehow install the Samsung drivers onto your truck, I'm afraid you're SOL. At least, until a talented kernel developer here recodes the SGS's USB driver to expose the mass storage device natively.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuryriderX:
when you plug the sgs into your truck, do you get the option to connect USB storage?

edit: just noticed you've already tried that.

yeah it might be up to the kernel dev's to do something about it - it would be great if there was an option to make it show up as a giant USB stick!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kabantik:
When I plug my I9000M into my desktop via USB it automatically mounts the 2 SD cards without having to do the windows "search for drivers" and under device management the 2 SD cards show up as portable devices. I think what I will do is remove the external SD card before plugging it in to see if it's confusing the onboard system (in the vehicle) by trying to mount 2 separate SD cards. My apologies for the slack spelling and grammar, I just woke up, I may edit the post later today as well as update on my progress.

just factory reset right before you go to the service. they can't accuse you of rooting if you wiped the evidence.
