thanx guys for the reply, but none of the mentioned solutions worked :(

I am seriously thinking of moving out of android because of this issue, its as if the phone doesn't have wifi?!?!
[Android Apps and Games] Droidicus:
K just read about the Unreal engine being used on some games for iPuke. I love android and all but I am freaking sick of the excuses. I have been on android since september of 08 with the g1 and I just don't get it. I'm telling you now google, unless you get moving on this I am going to have to move to the dark side for a much richer multimedia experience

I've waited too long as it is! I keep telling my son (who has friends with iPhones) to just wait, developers will come to android.....boo!

What the...?!? That's NOT what I asked for! Shoo! Shoo! You go away with your bad news! Can someone please find me a replacement who had good news? (And don't tell me about the Sony-Ericcson playstation droid whatever. I know about that)....

Android devices capable of really nice 3d gaming are just ~6 months old, so relax :-) Did you saw Gameloft's games released recently? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxdZWhga0Vw

Also I don't really know, what do you want from Google? :-/ Maybe something like ADC, but for games.

wait for ginger

ginger bread is supposed to be more focus on gaming and multimedia (and terga 2 tablets wont hurt)
[Android Apps and Games] lambstone:
Relax. There has been some serious talk of a PSP Phone which can only mean that there is going to be some serious games running on android.
[Android Apps and Games] Droidicus:
Mmmmmm Ginger....Oooh! MaryAnn...mmmmmm.....

Those gameloft games look pretty sweet. Now the vibrant has bt 3.0. I wonder if I could use my bt keyboard and mouse...hmmmmm
[Vibrant General] sj_martin:
I use Google Voice extensively for about 50% of my contacts. Because of this, I set google voice to ask me every time if I want to use Google Voice to dial or use the native method.

What would be great is if I can specify that preference on the contact level so I don't have to go through the menu selection for every single one of my calls.

Thoughts?
[Vibrant General] ytj87:
I think you can do this by dialing the 406 number assigned to your contacts by Google. The caller ID they receive will be from GV, which I presume means the call is actually routed through GV. I did not experiment fully when I discovered this since I have unlimited minutes anyway.
[Vibrant General] sj_martin:
can you elaborate on the 406 #?
[Vibrant General] SykesAT:
there is an app for that.

search market for "GV" or "google voice" and you will find it.

Can't remember the name of it but I was looking into it because I use GV for domestic calls but voxofon for international (great rates and intercepts calls like GV app does, this double interception causes issues).
[Vibrant General] ytj87:
Basically, when you call someone via GV, Goog assigns them an alias number in the 406 area code. If you dial that alias straight through the phone, you will be connected using GV even though you didn't start the call using GV. Also if you text that alias, the text will go through GV.

The trick to finding the number is to receive a text from it. That text will be from their 406 alias. Needless to say, this obviates finding the 406 of a landline and makes finding the alias of business contacts unprofessional.

As of earlier this year I knew of no other way to find the 406 number.
[Vibrant General] sj_martin:
Interesting. I believe i skimmed over something like this as it sounds familiar. I will look into this as it seems like a valid solution for what i need.

Thanks for your help!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwathey:
When I plug my SGS Vibrant (I9000M) into my computer running Win7 Pro 64-bit the icon for drivers being installed pops up in the tray. However, all drivers for the phone fail to be installed. I have installed Kies, but it does not connect the phone, it does continuously try connecting to it though. I also notice the screen of the SGS is flashing. You can breifly see the USB sign on it, but then it just continuously alternates between that and the idle screen in rapid succession. On the idle screen I noticed the top had a bar mentioning mtp application. Any advice in solving this issue would greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
you need try on a winXP computer

many people have reported problem on Vista / 7

you can try to do it again by "Run AS" administrator
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] segun_aduba:
I have the same effing problem man. Happened just now and was trying to find a solutions on the forums and your topic just popped up.

The very funny thing is that I am currently trying to connect the phone to my laptop ( WIN7 x64) and it doesn't work while at my office computer running also WIN7 X64 it works flawlessly.

Maybe somebody has an idea about this.

May I mention that I cannot see the phone in My computer and Kies just hangs at the loading forever

I also have the Connect/Homescreen screens dancing and changing back and forth in a rapid succession.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwathey:
I've had some minor success. I've gotten 2/3 of the drivers installed, but the MTP usb device won't install. I've tried a couple of the ideas floating around when I googled the issue, but still no success with it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] segun_aduba:
More info in the issue in the FAQ

Hint: Search in page for "Wuala"

I'm downloading those drivers to try now. I'll get back with results if any.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwathey:
I've gotten my computer to recognize the phone finally and the MTP USB device driver seems to be installed yet Kies still won't connect to the phone.

The steps I followed were:

1. Unmount Internal SD Card

2. Format Internal SD Card

3. Connect to computer

After those steps it connected fine except for Kies still messing around. The phone no longer does the connect/home dance, instead Kies is in a continuous loop of trying to connect while the phone says it is connected.

I'm thinking of trying the Windows XP Virtual Machine next.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwathey:
I've tried for hours now with little success for my computer recognizing it, but the little success I had achieved with my previous post undid itself and now that fix no longer works. I've tried older versions of Kies, but the older versions of Kies don't support the SGS and the newer versions don't even recognize the phone. I've done almost everything I can possibly think of and find on google in getting my phone recognized by my comp. I'm so close to returning this phone to go back to my blackberry. If anyone can think of anything that may help, please advise. Thanks again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwathey:
Well, the problem has finally been solved. I had to completely reinstall windows to fix it. Hopefully this phone is wort the mad amounts of stress it has caused me so far.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
:eek: wow, that was pretty insane, have to reinstall entire OS just to get KIES to work?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChongoDroid:
Is there a rom/app that has usb tethering via WIFI and NOT 3g... I've only found pdanet and its garbage on macs so I ask you with a thousand thanks in advance DOES SUCH A THING EXIST?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damanrico:
Stock.

Wrong forum whine for +10chars.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChongoDroid:
Thanks captain useful... I put a request for an app in the nexus development section sorry... maybe a mod would redirect me but for some guy who is as clueless as I am to come on here and tell me I'm whining when in reality he doesn't have a fix for it or even advice...

Its funny how only mods/devs are useful and the rest (not all, had some great advice from here) are just snarky users who pounce on a mispost... go back to flaming on youtube.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChongoDroid:
So again I ask is there an app or a mod that modifies an existing tether app to allow wifi tethering via usb instead of 3g/edge... OR can a mod please direct me to where I should be posting... That way I won't have to deal with flamers... Thank you xda
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwig:
The phone tethers over wifi via USB stock. Just try it, it works.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChongoDroid:
really... Wow well il try that at home... Thanks in advance... Every android user is allowed one stupid question :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbirdguy:
Me thinks you owe someone an apology.

and save YOUR snarky comments for youtube...

you come into a dev forum and ask for some one to spoon feed you an answers to newbie questions, an excusable offense, but the attitude you complained someone else had, is the one you felt the need to display.

Hypocrites suck, especially ones asking for help, then cop attitude because they are too dumb to read the post that helps them.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Especially when the answer was in the 2nd post, which you ignored.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChongoDroid:
Stock isn't an answer... And the solution still hasn't been found... All bs aside is there something I'm not getting... I tether via usb with the stock tethering and on the comp side it shows up as ethernet 2... now in the network settings it won't connect to my "ethernet" is there something else I over looked or are their manual settings that need to be input.?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChongoDroid:
Thanks for the useless, unhelpful comment Tbirdguy... Seriously how much attitude are we talking here... I asked a pretty basic question as the stock tether won't work for me which is actually a big deal as I need internet for my work... He didn't answer my question and he told me off for whining... So I gave him a piece of my mind and when Pwig helped out I admitted my stupidity and I admit I probably posted in the wrong forum but hey at least I'm getting ppls thoughts on it negative our positive... Il gladly buy whoever can help solve this one a beer, granted you have a paypal account :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChongoDroid:
Evilkorn is there a settings/setup on the pc side of things? I understand how it works it just won't connect... Do you know of any issues with cm6 and older g5 macs... God they sure have a lot of problems! Thanks in advance.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikiksaz:
I'll entertain this even if it's in the wrong forum.

It'd be nice to be able to share wifi in the absence of 3g. One perfect situation is in hotels where only one computer has assess to the pay-for-access wifi internet.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
1) You can't share WiFi over WiFi. You can, though, share WiFi using USB.

2) COMPLETELY STOCK PHONE SHARES WHATEVER INTERNET CONNECTION IT HAS - WIFI OR 3G - USING USB TETHERING. IT CREATES VIRTUAL ETHERNET ADAPTER ON USB. SOME COMPUTERS WILL NEED DRIVER FOR THIS. SOME COMPUTERS WILL NEED RESTART TO ACTIVATE THE WORKING PHONE CONNECTION AS PRIMARY. SOME COMPUTERS MIGHT REQUIRE DISABLING OTHER, NON-WORKING CONNECTIONS.

3) I hope the caps were big enough to end this thread that shouldn't have begun (or at least should have begun in Q&A section with "I tried to tether my WiFi through USB, it doesn't work for some reason, what am I doing wrong")...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo-K:
What the guy wants, what i presume, is not the tethering he says, because that is stock.

But if you are picking up a Wifi Signal with your Nexus One! and you want to share that connection through USB on your laptop/pc. This means your phone acts as the wireless network card for your pc/laptop :)

Correct me if this already is possible, but as far as i know, this wasn't possible till 3 months ago!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChongoDroid:
1. I know that, that's mobile hotspot...

2. Stock tether is not supported on osx as it said in the help under tether/hotspot settings.

3. I know that my post wasn't in the right section as I stated before... and to be honest I don't really care

4. I'm sick of these ppl treating me like a noob when I've probably owned more android phones then half these cats, only reason I'm a noob on xda is because I've never had a problem with android that a few searches on xda/androidspin couldn't fix..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChongoDroid:
I'm back to my original question... Is there an app besides pdanet that allows usb tethering... *sigh* you know what forget it guys... any other day I'd be down for this and usually droid does but today droid didn't which means money in apples pocket... Thank you to the ones that helped and thank you to the ones that didn't, they did their best ;)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scote:
I have cm6 and I just tried it and it works like other posters says, USB tether shares whatever interwebs connection you have over a USB based rndis adapter. Your mac needs an rndis driver to make use of it, I thought newer versions of macos had this included. you may need to do some googling to find it, I cant help you as I know little about macs.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChongoDroid:
Oh I have no doubt that everything in cm6 works very well its something on the mac right after it finds it as a ethernet port it gets weird. A rndis driver you say... I can work with that... Thank you even if it doesn't work! :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChongoDroid:
On another note... Isn't cm6 f'n awesome... It literally cured my rom flashing habit! After cm6 I just check out news and apps... As far as I'm concerned my phone does everything I want... EXCEPT USB TETHER haha... Ahhh! My phone performs miracles and it can't tether lol... That's why I lost my hair on this one because I don't mind if I get stuck trying to trick out my phone (goodies, oc, aesthetics) but If I get stuck on something that can be very useful (won't say need cuz 3 months ago id say your dreaming) then I lose it lol... Anyways I'm gonna go check it out!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damanrico:
OP, I did answer your question. You asked for a rom or an app that could do it, I said stock rom. That it doesn't work with your mac, that's a seperate issue, but stock rom can tether wifi over usb.

Plus I didn't mean you whined, but I needed some extra chars to be able to post so I put up a whine about you posting in the wrong forum.

You might want to look at your posts, they don't show a great attitude. If you want help you shouldn't say things like you don't care about posting in the wrong forum. I, and probably more people here, don't like to help someone that doesn't give a crap about following some basic forum rules and starts flaming people who actually anwer his question.

Good luck finding a solution.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChongoDroid:
Sorry dude, stock doesn't support osx but I understand what you mean and for that I thank you, I only meant I didn't care because my other posts in the appropriate spots were ignored, I have been super stressed out trying too fix this and I know its not an excuse but hey mac products can make ppl do weird things lol... My apologies android brother... I am using solder and tin foil as a wifi antenna you can tell I'm desperate lol
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JanetPanic:
Simply put OS X does not support RNDIS and probably never will. Apple went with the CDC Ethernet device standard instead and chose not to support the Microsoft created NDIS. It has been a number of years since I used a Mac regularly but AJZaurusUsb supported usbnet (they seem to still be around and maintaining) but that does not mean it will work with the nexus one.

azilink has already been mentioned but here is a more complete instruction on how you might try that. http://www.dinke.net/blog/en/2009/11/10/htc-hero-usb-tether-on-mac-os-x/

Really what you are asking now though is "Can I use USB tethering on my Mac?" for which you won't get a lot of help in this thread.... well beyond what you already got. :)

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone knows of any dual sim adapters that work with the HTC Wildfire? Tried googling but the sites that come up only list adapters but do not seem to promise that these adapters work with this phone.

Have a personal number and a work number that are separate and it would be handy to just carry around one phone.

Thanks :)

Dual Sim for wildfire

You got me interested in this and my search came up with this company that says it does work with the wildfire :)

cant post the link because of forum restrictions, but if you google the company at simore.ch you will be able to find it from there. It says the platinum and platinum plus are compatible.

They seem really good and have videos showing how to do every step. The only thing that worries me is having to cut up the sim cards which I hear is normal for a dual sim adapters.

I just got a 26th gen cutting Magic Sim dual sim for my HTC Desire from a seller on ebay (he was the cheapest seller by a mile) i've also tried it in my girlfriends Wildfire and it worked a treat!

Its extremely unlikely that both will be reachable at the same time by using those adapters, although I havent seen / used them personally.

If you want a dual standby phone, get a proper Dual SIM phone.

Dual Sim

Here in the philippines its normal to have dual sim phones, also we do have tripple sims because we have 3 different network provider....

But i dont suggest to have dual sim on HTC

1 it destroys the quality

2 it voids warranty

3 it suck to put dual sim on HTC phones. it lowers the value :)

[Droid 2 General] theecho:
Hello everyone,

I have recently been messing around with my droid 2 and was able to change the boot screen successfully by doing the following commands:

adb push bootanimation.zip system/media/

After running this command I had the new animation and that works great. My question is if anyone know how to incorporate a boot up sound with this. I have tried creating a bootscreen folder and having the boot_animation.xml in both the system/media path and the system/media/bootscreen path, however to no success. It is to be noted that when I removed the bootanimation.zip from the system/media folder, it defaults to the original blue android loading animation as if it were not seeing a bootscreen folder.
[Droid 2 General] Archangel:
What is the boot animation that you used and is is just as simple as removing the boot animation that is in the system media file and replacing it with another boot animation like what was done with the D1?
[Droid 2 General] theecho:
Yes it was pretty simple just do the following

adb pull system/media/bootanimation.zip

This will pull you current boot animation. Move it somewhere to keep as a backup.

adb push bootanimation.zip system/media/

This is assuming bootanimation.zip is located in you android sdk's tools folder. You can use any of the bootanimations that are an assortment of pngs.
