u need a pc

you need to hook the phone up to your computer and make sure USB Debugging is enabled (you can find in Settings>Applications>development> and check usb debugging

then install and setup the androidSDK:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

and your ready
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes and Apps] luvjones305:
thank you

ok thanks im a try it now
[Captivate General] ozziecis:
I searched the Captivate forum to see if AT&T left USB tether enabled on the phone and couldn't find squat. I'm inclined to assume that they disabled the capability unless you paid the extra $20 (or $30, whichever it is) to use the feature. Can anyone confirm please?
[Captivate General] javi1110@gmail.com:
It does work

Posting this using the USB tethering feature and have not subscribed to any additional tethering service
[Captivate General] brandonb81:
1. Enable Airplane mode

2. Enable Wifi, and obviously connect to a wifi network

3. Search Market for PDANet (which is free)

4. Download

5. ????

6. Profit!
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I have tethered via USB. you need the generic Samsung drivers Not the att captivate driver. Then Just enable pc connexrion in USB settings and your pc sees the phone as a network adapter.

NO Root required.
[Captivate General] dannyfritz:
You can also do ad-hoc tethering.

Sorry, didn't know the details, was trying to be funny. Listen to these other guys, but that is how you can install pda net on an unrooted phone.

Thanks all. The feature was one of the deciding factors for me to get the phone. Appreciate it

Tethering

I can personally attest to the fact that the Captivate WILL tether straight out of the box with NO third party app needed if you get the right USB drivers installed and just select PC Internet when you plug in the USB.. Wifi tether is a bit more touchy though..
[Captivate General] cliffgardner:

I've seen a lot of folks refer to the generic Samsung drivers, but I can't seem to find a link to them anywhere.

Anybody have a link to where I can get them?
[Captivate General] Main Target:
Anyone have some details on which drivers work for tethering? I am using the ones off Samsung's site and its telling me that it cannot start up the modem, perhaps im using the wrong drivers.

Thanks for the help:)
[Captivate General] phishie:
I installed the drivers from here, 64 bit in my case.

Changed USB setting on my phone to "PC Internet".

Plugged in my phone.

Waited for my laptop to setup the ethernet connection (Windows 7).

Disconnected from Wifi on my laptop for testing purposes.

Voila, submitted this post via USB tether to my phone.
[Captivate General] Lancez:
LOL.... i just couldnt stop laughing.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Drivers posted on Samsung US site does not contain network driver for tethering (no supprise there). AndroidForums.com Captivate forum has a sticky to download drivers that do include tethering.

If you don't feel comfortable going that way, you can download Kies from Samsung UK or any other non-US site. Kies has the proper driver included in the installation. If you don't like to use Kies, you can uninstall it and the driver will stay.
[Captivate General] Main Target:
I ended up with Kies, The network device connects but I cannot reach open internet. Any thoughts?
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
It depends how you connect your phone. If you select USB mdoe to 'Kies' mode, you will have to use modem tethering inside the Kies application on your PC to connect. Otherwise, you need to set your phone to 'PC Internet' mode and your PC should be able to connect to internet once plugged in. No Kies needed in this mode.

Personally I don't see much value of the Kies (I can use WMP to do all the media transferring). Hence I uninstalled Kies and left the network driver alone.
[Captivate General] Main Target:
This is while its set to PC Internet.
[Captivate General] Main Target:
it just randomly started to work, hell I wont complain lol

Posting from a tethered captivate now :)
[Captivate General] danncas:
I',m looking at this phone looking to tether

I'm looking at this and Blackberry torch. I love BB so it best be nice. I had I phone did not like it at all. I want to be able to usb teether for free like with the BB.

Ideas;)
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
USB tethering is about to end soon. The leaked JH2 firmware had both USB tethering and Kies/Dialup modem disabled. So, looks like whatever next firmware hits Captivate (probably the Android 2.2 Froyo update), you will not be able to easily tethered out of box.
[Desire General] aindow:
I didn't think the Desire had 720p video capture but according to this it does. http://www.htc.com/uk/product/desire/specification.html

Could this mean there's finally something going on with the Desire?
[Desire General] bedeabc:
No it doesn't without custom ROMs. It's something that from day one HTC hasn't been able to make up its mind about. It would seem highly likely that it will be coming with the 2.2 update but surely not before?

I say typo...
[Desire General] boas:
And the HTC page for Sweden do state 720P recording too! So it should be getting closer to FROYO!:D
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
guys!!!! not to disappoint but that page has been like that since March this year. It always said it did 720p recording even though it didn't. plus that page still says 2.1 Eclair,. and we know that 2.1 cannot do 720p recording. so its just HTC BS thats been there since the start. The chinese page that says 2.2 android looks more promising.
[Desire General] r47z:
Guess it wasn't updated correctly. The Portal admin missed out on updating the O/S to 2.2 as well. The page design have changed, it wasn't so much "in your face" before.
[Desire General] knights191:
offtopic; but there are things happening at HTC...

http://twitter.com/markmoons/status/19714729664

Twitterpost from a HTC Europe guy "Froyo is coming soon" .. wont take long anymore it says
[Desire General] iDaddy:
Looks very promising !! :) ... I was really starting to think I'de have to Root my device.

Hope this appears to be true :-)
[Desire General] Whiterin:
"We start with Desire" hopefully that means 2.2... wish it was in English so I could follow it easier.
[Desire General] Flaggie:
check out the entire twitter website:

http://twitter.com/markmoons

he just posted that they will start releasing it tomorrow for htc desire :D (We beginnen vanaf morgen met de upgrades naar Android 2.2 voor Desire, later meer devices (@Luc_GIS @Wekkel @Androidworld))

But don't know how reliable this guy is
[Desire General] boas:
Actually that is not the case for Sweden, and now the swedish webbsite has been changed, now it does not mention 720P.
[Desire General] vrmp:
Well he is the chairman of HTC Benelux, so I would think it's reliable :)
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
2.2 has started coming down to a small number of devices already. Officially.

We've already gathered that Verizon, Moto, and HTC all seem to be pretty well committed to bumping most of their Droid models to Froyo (as well they should), but things are starting to get real -- really real. First off, we've been fed a shot of a tipster's Droid X that has apparently already been blessed with 2.2 over the air;

[Desire General] XDA mark:

That would be awesome, I could really use some froyo. Looks like its very close!
[Desire General] vrmp:
http://tweakers.net/nieuws/68840/htc-update-desire-naar-android-22-komt-deze-week.html

you can translate this for an article about it on a Dutch newsite. :)
[Desire General] iDaddy:
I let google translate it to english for me.

It just makes me wonder - is the update coming worldwide ? Or are they talking only about the Netherlands for now ?
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
I don't see why the Dutch would get their own 2.2 rollout. so its probably across Europe. Fingers crossed.
[Desire General] etismyname:
To be honest, the video recording ability isn't that good...

I hope the higher resolution will be backed by a smoother frame rate
[Desire General] choccy31:
T-mobile UK have said they have only heard about the Holland release and have no info on any other releases.

I'm sending my Desire (tmob) to HTC for repair on Monday and they did say that part of the repair is to update the latest software, hopefully they can somehow put 2.2 on it.?

does the Dell streak with 1.6 Android support double tap zooming via browsing?

No I do not think so mate it has the pinch zooming, it shows you how to do it in the user manual
[Streak 5 General] uvz:
Not with 1.6 but yes with froyo, that I'm testing now on leo

[Android Apps and Games] Quantumstate:
I need to record phone calls. My boss screams at me like a demon monster, and I'd like to preserve this fresh Hell for posterity... maybe make it my ringtone. (Yes, I have a right to in my state, as I am a party to the call)

Searching on AppBrain for 'phone call recorder' gives 13,997 results.

Ideally I'd like it to automatically start when I get a call from a certain number, and otherwise have a push-button start/stop while calls are in progress, and any other time.

Can anyone advise?
[Android Apps and Games] esone1ll:
I think Google Voice has this feature, but it lets the other party know via an in-call announcement.
[Android Apps and Games] Quantumstate:
Thanks, but no Google apps please. Don't trust them. Open-source is best.
[Android Apps and Games] d0ugie:
Interesting choice of phone platforms given that you don't trust Google.

By the way, much of Google's software is open source with that source code freely available, including Android.

Though I've only looked for this in Nexus One forums, it seems that no one can figure out how to get an application (at least not involving GV) to capture audio on both sides of the conversation, unless it's on speaker or maybe a headset. Might vary by device though if it's a hardware thing.
[Android Apps and Games] Quantumstate:
Long story. Sure you want to know?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=730544

Yes N1 is the phone of concern. Odd that it's difficult to capture both sides. Shouldn't be difficult to emulate GV by looking at the source.
[Android Apps and Games] willwgp:
I was going to suggest Google Voice also. When you hit the number 2 or 4 (can't remember which), it will notify you and the other caller that the session is being recorded (which might shut your boss up for good!). You can even download the conversation into an mp3 format. It records both sides of the conversation, not just yours or his.

Now, why would Google give a crap what your boss is yelling about? My point exactly ... this isn't Big Brother ... yet.
[Android Apps and Games] Quantumstate:
Read that other thread to find out, if you're actually curious.

I notice that comments in many of the call recording apps say 'doesn't work', with one phone or another, usually newer phones. And I am gathering that G**gle Voice is closed-source, as are apparently many of their other apps, so reading source for tips on how to get both sides is not an option.

I wouldn't use G**gle apps in any case, but to notify my boss I am recording would probably get me fired today. I'm just wanting to collect his fiery, abusive calls just in case...
[Android Apps and Games] Quantumstate:
Apparently most apps are unable to record the other party's side of the conversation.

Does anyone know why this would be? What would it take to record both sides. I'm sure there are hooks in Android to get this.
[Android Apps and Games] Quantumstate:
All right, after considerable research it seems I am the best-informed around here.

It is now clear that there is no way a third-party app can record the orther end of the conversation, except in speakerphone mode. (MIC ONLY). Only Google Voice can do this, and it insists on using 'The Cloud' so they have control over all your conversations.

There is confusion over whether this is an API problem, or a driver problem, but if it's a driver problem both HTC and Motorola suffer from it.

So, this is a deal-breaker. No Android phone for me. I'm lucky I'm not already stuck with one.

Winduhs Mobile phones can record with third-party apps, as can the Symbian-based Nokia N8 when it comes out next month. So that's where I'm going.

Good bye Android
[Android Apps and Games] kyphur:
Hate to tell you this but you are butting you head up against a long time limitation of the "Smartphone" platform. It isn't limited to Android devices either. WinMo has the same limitations and it has to do with the OS not having access to the incoming audio stream.
[Android Apps and Games] Quantumstate:
Not true. Google Voice can do it, built-in, but I'm not sending all recordings to them, no sir.

This proves that the mechanisms are in place but that either the API is rigged, the drivers are, or documentation is lying. Everything records as documented in the emulated SDK, but not on the phone itself.

Phones that actually can record both sides are Nokia S60 & Maemo phones, including N900 & N8 (Recaller, Voxtrack Personal- beepless), Rseven on Symbian & WM, Mvoice & CallRec on Palm, Vito-Audionotes on HTC TouchPro2, Sony Ericsson c905 has the record option.

Right now I'm looking for a Linux port to any of the newer smartphones, as Linux can record and has nav apps, my two vital functions.
[Android Apps and Games] GinoAMelone:
That doesn't prove anything. Google Voice calls go through their servers. I can record calls between two landlines, if the call is made through GVoice. Does this mean that my 1970s-era, rotary-dial phone has the SDK to record calls?
[Android Apps and Games] Quantumstate:
It proves that I can't use Android.

I am not going to bicker with you.
[Android Apps and Games] SpeeDemon:
This thread is comedy gold. There are several reasons why access the audio stream is restricted. Phones from many platforms cannot record both sides of the conversation, and I am surprised to hear that 3rd party apps can do this on WinMo. I would hazzard a guess that this requires more than just a regular run of the mill type install.

You seem to hate Android, and Google in particular. I have read your posts. I thank you for your lack of contribution to the forum. A good chuckle doesn't really count.

Your fear mongering and paranoia regarding big business and biased news is typical of someone living behind a computer for 52 years. Oh yes, that's you too. If you wish to spread your opinion, I would suggest you start a blog, rather than fill a forum with posts like these.

Take care.

Voice recorder app on win mobile

Until about 10 days ago when I bought my first android phone, a samsung vibrant which i am loving it, I was a windows mobile user for many years and it's true that there is an free app called PMrecoder, that records phone conversation (both sides) and saves it in a folder on the SD card. I still have the app on my Tmobile wing. This app works great and records all coversations automatically. I wish there was an app like that for android also. I am sure someone will come up with a similar app for android soon.
[Android Apps and Games] Quantumstate:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 325i.:
I have currently a rooted desire and have the mondaco R3 rom with A2SD+. I am thinking of moving to the modaco froyo rom with A2SD+.

1. Will i need to make a backup of everything or can i install the new rom without deleting anything?

2. if i need a backup, what is beter, my backup pro or titanium backup. I would need something that backs up EVERYTHING and the easiest to restore.

3. On froyo, there is an option to install apps on SD. Will it be ok for me to transfer apps to the SD via the built in menu? Will it cause conflict as with A2SD+?

4. Some apps i will unable to move, is this a good way to move the rest? http://www.appbrain.com/user/imran1987/apps-on-the-phone

Again, will it cause any conflicts?

Thank you
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommo123:
well, best to wipe first.

persoanlly, i'd use titanium. it backups the apps and all the data alongside it.

i'd also do a backup via rom manager so you can go straight back to your current setup easily if needs be. the rom manager one includes the apps on your ext partitions if you use apps2sd+ now, use titanium to add them all back on a new rom only.

i haven't used native apps2sd. it sounds awful since it doesn't work with widgets, and is limited to apps that are written to allow it (iirc).

apps2sd proper just works better and i'm sticking to it over the official one.

linky in 4, is a link to a list of your apps.

seriously, use the non official apps2sd. it's just better (at least IMO).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 325i.:
Thanks, i have used MyBackup Pro to back all the apps and data. Also the ROM via ROM manager
