I'm getting "network cable unplugged" when I try to tether from the epic to my 64bit windows 7 laptop.

Any idea whats up? I have the drivers installed. (and windows shows no errors).

Thanks
[Epic 4G General] issai:
Can anyone reply with steps on how they got the phone to tether (w/o the $30 / month hotspot add-on)?

Even if it's with PDANet? I have Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and I can't even get the drivers to install.

Where would I get the drivers from anyway? Maybe I should check the box @ home to see if there's a CD included (is there a CD included??)

New Windows driver from Samsung

Samsung just posted Vista/Wndows 7 drivers, dated yesterday. You can download here.

Please let us know if that solves the problem for you.
[Epic 4G General] issai:
^Awesome, much appreciated. I'll give that a spin.
[Epic 4G General] mscott:
I am able to successfully USB tether (and wifi tether, I decided to pay for the plan for at least this weekend, was going to be traveling, and need it).

However, I can't seem to get tethered 4g to work. Every time I switch to it, the Epic disconnects from 4g, then the computer tries to get an IP, and is never successful, despite that just before that, the phone was on 4g, and had an IP.

And sprint's mobile hotspot software appears to disconnect the 4g connection as well, when I activate it, very odd.

Tether to USB on Non-Rooted EPIC confirmed

I downloaded this app:

Market Link: market://search?q=pname:com.mstream.easytether_beta

Then I installed this onto my PC:

Win 7 -- 32bit here (I only tested 32bit)

http://www.mobile-stream.com/beta/easytether_x86.msi

Win 7 -- 64bit here

http://www.mobile-stream.com/beta/easytether_x64.msi

Then I downloaded this and installed Samsung Drivers to my PC after Easy Tether

http://www.mobile-stream.com/beta/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe

Confirmed working since I made this post from my Netbook connected via my EPIC and no I do not have Sprints tether plan.
[Epic 4G General] issai:
Somehow, I'm unable to get this to work, even with Hero's steps with Mobilestream.

My computer isn't matching the Epic as a Samsung device with the drivers, for some reason.

I'm seeing the following sequence in my Windows Event Log:

"

[Epic 4G General] issai:
mscott,

Would you mind providing detailed instructions on how you got USB tethering successfully working?
[Epic 4G General] issai:
*Finally* just got USB tethering to work, with either PDANet or Mobilestream's Easy Tether on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit!

I seem to be the only one remaining in the world who's having these issues, but in case this helps any other poor souls:

1. Google "sdx epic development confirmed working drivers" to download the confirmed 64-bit drivers. (These were confirmed earlier by joeykrim, and confirmed by me as well, (like I matter)). There were many other threads elsewhere pointing to the same drivers, but the first Googled result is quite definitive.

2. Same thread, few posts down written by "chaosfenix", basically explains how toggling USB debugging mode on and off initiates the recognition and installation of a whole slew of drivers (e.g. Samsung Android Modem, ADB interface, USB Mass storage device, etc.). In my case, I simply installed the 64-bit drivers once, and yet unplugged the USB cable, and toggled the USB debugging mode multiple times, in order to have multiple drivers install successfully.

And voila! That's about it. This really tested my ol' Helpdesk chops a lot. Hope the next guy doesn't need to go through as much pain as I did...
[Epic 4G General] MameJunkie:
Like what issai said, finally got USB working by turning On/Off debugging mode and removing/plugging back the USB to the PC multiple times.
[Epic 4G General] Gagstr:
Wait just a second here, even with the "everything Data" plan there is a cap while in USB tether mode?

If so then we can bypass this by Rooting and using third party tethering aps correct?
[Epic 4G General] issai:
Back to having issues again. No clue why. Up to this point, I've never used System Restore before. Now I'm a "pro" at it, although there's really not much to it.
[Epic 4G General] issai:
Update: I think there's something seriously wrong and wonky with my computer, more so than anything else.

- I've installed the 32-bit drivers on my work-issued Windows XP notebook. Easy Tether worked without any hassle.

- Got home, tried the same thing, but with the 64-bit flavor of everything (drivers, Easy Tether) on a 2nd Lenovo notebook running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Easy peachie & everything worked as expected.

- Still having significant driver issues with my primary Lenovo notebook running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. I will be wiping it and re-imaging it soon... sigh.
[Epic 4G General] 1NfE5T:
I can't for the life of e get wired tethering to work!!!! I'm rooted, and have the wifi tethering app that works beautifully....but I get wired usb tether to work. I enabled debugging, doesn't work, unplugged and pluged the cable to diffrent site, still nothing. Downloaded the samsung drivers for my pc...still nothing. I'm at a loss here.
[Epic 4G General] saywhat4118:
same here.

Got PDA net working, wifi tether (only ad-hoc mode though) working but wired tether?? i wish. i wanna try it cause i think you get faster tethering speeds
[Epic 4G General] 1NfE5T:
Well ended up using pda net(free verson). But still wish I could get it working right. Maybe once we get a few custom roms going in this community, we could get wifi and wired working....like when I had my g1 :-)
[Epic 4G General] ldrn:
I'm still hoping for USBnet -- I think that's what Wired Tether uses. (Not the built in one.) :)

It will require a custom kernel, or at least a module, alas... RNDIS support wasn't compiled into Samsung's kernel. :(
[Epic 4G General] issai:
Update:

This is crazy. Basically, if it wasn't for the Samsung Epic, I would never have determined that there's *some* problem with the USB I/O card, ports, or the connection between the two with my Thinkpad. Or perhaps the Epic is a very sensitive phone, although I'm not sure in what aspect.

All my USB jump drives work and have worked fine. Connecting my Blackberry to my Thinkpad via a USB cable works and has worked fine. Even my Logitech USB micro-receiver works and has worked fine.

But the Epic and my Thinkpad constantly connects and disconnects with 3 of my 4 USB ports.

And while opening up and diagnosing these USB <-> Epic issues, I've discovered that there are other issues with the build quality of my Thinkpad. Oh well.
[Epic 4G General] dito33:
I can't install the drivers 64bit debugging on or off, I think that what the problem

is on 64 OS platform, got to wait for new drivers from Samsung.

And if debugging turn on then can't mount SD card have to be turn off to read the card, weird.

dito33
[Epic 4G General] issai:
^There are 64-bit drivers, just not from Samsung's website, which only has the 32-bit ones on the Epic support page(s).

Read Posts #17 and #20 in this thread for 64-bit drivers.

*Posted while being USB-tethered using EasyTether installed on 64-bit Windows 7 Professional.*
[Epic 4G General] dito33:
Is anybody was able to install 64 bit drivers cuz I tried and nothing would install, goes half way and stays there forever, yes I tried those not from Samsung side same thing.

dito33
[Epic 4G General] issai:
^I've seen the installation routine hang-up as well. I forgot which specific driver my setup routine was working on when it paused. What I did was disconnect my USB cable from the Epic, and strangely, the driver installation proceeded. See if that works.

I must say my driver experience and nightmares are nearly inexcusable, especially since it's the Year 2010 and driver installation shouldn't be this exasperating.

Extract the img file from the zip and place it in the root of the sdcard. Hboot should detect it automatically.

Hi Folks,

is there any media player that can access to files that are in my LAN e.c. on my server?

If i use Astro FE, or ES File Explorer I have access to my server, but i cannot chose which media player to take...

so what I need is a player that has access to LAN or a file explorer with which i can choose how to open a file...

(Main problem: there is no media player that plays ALL file formats + lan access)

Thank you,

Michael
[Android Apps and Games] mlbl:
So far I don't believe there's any that can do that, mainly due to fact that its not that easy to develop something like this. I believe it can be done, but because the app would probably need to be either some sort of client-server architecture or streaming the video, otherwise, if you would say like double click on a media file in astro on the LAN side, it would be downloading the video to your phone, then playing it locally rather than directly playing it from the LAN server/machine. Do correct me if i'm wrong though.
[Android Apps and Games] fudduf:
have also been waiting (im)patiently for this. can't believe it hasn't been done already!
[Android Apps and Games] protorix:
Right.

That was no problem on my winmo 6.5 device, a lot of apps were able to do that.

An alternative would be a "Lan App" that simulats a "Lan" folder at the sd-card on which media programs have access.

The downloading thing junst happens with videos, that astro or ES File Manager cannot play. I can play a single MP3 for exaple but the screen than is black. So it seems as if there´s no comfortable app.

sad.

So can you recommend me some media app that maks the android device to a good looking media player for local files? (also that "easy" exercise is not as easy...)

thanks so far!
[Android Apps and Games] mik101:
I use subsonic. It uses its own server software, which is a bit of a bummer, but it works great anywhere be it over wifi or 3g. :)

http://www.subsonic.org/pages/index.jsp

PS. There are clients for many platforms, including adobe air and a built in http server as well.

The subsonic client is available on the market I believe.
[Android Apps and Games] pwvandeursen:
Vlc steamer can do both audio and video streaming great little app, but only works if the server can run vlan server
[Android Apps and Games] Dissaor:
Where you able to find any app with la access?
[Android Apps and Games] siedus:
There's an app in Google Play called 'Samba filesharing'. Browse for a media file on your pc, (through LAN of course) and open it. Works like a charm....
[Android Apps and Games] stefandunn:
I am able to stream videos from a lan computer through ES File Explorer in HTC Desire Hd using the default streaming video player app. Takes a few seconds to buffer and works a charm. Not sure if this is just a HTC feature.

did you ever try

as storage path for the IGO Map files.

(must not be "Programm Files" you can use each other folder for it.)

I have this problem a few month ago and all what happend in my case was that the maps are not in correct folders, IGO is finding the map but after a while something went wrong and IGO crash.

[Android Software Development] aychekay:
We have a large ambition of using Android phones or tablets to help us track equipment inventory. We need to track both equipment that we currently own (sitting in one or our two yards) as well as equipment that is available for purchase.

We currently have an Access database that handles these records as well as handling linking to the pictures stored in structured directories identified by stock number.

So here's the idea we have:

A user would walk up to a given piece of machinery and enter the stock number (stock numbers are painted on the equipment). This would create a record (either text or database on the Android device) and would add GPS coordinates to the record. The user could go on to take pictures of the item that should be linked to the stock number entered at the beginning. The user would then click a button to say that he's finished.

I'm seeing numerous problems with this and hoping this community can help me think through this.

1) It would be nice if the device could have a small copy of our inventory database so that the user's entry could be validated against our existing records.

2) Should we try to connect to the live Access database (if/when possible, won't always work) or would it be better to employ some type of upload/synchronization?

3) Is it even possible to program what I'm asking for? I did see code online to control the camera and it looks like you could easily choose (in the code) where to save the pictures. I'm assuming we would create folders for each stock number and place the pictures inside with names like 53595-001.jpg. Any ideas on how or if this will work and how much programming it's going to take?

4) I'm an experienced Windows programmer using VBA, ASP/VBScript, and some VB6. Would I be better off trying to do this with a Windows Mobile device? I don't have any experience programming in Android/Java or other related languages.

Hi all.

Just downloaded the new HTC Sync app from HTC. Has anyone found a way to auto sync at regular intervals? It only seems to offer manual sync.

Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00466:
I guess not then...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeterGuru:
Yes, you can auto sync; however, I'm not sure if all HTC Sync programs work the same. I'm using v3.0.5422, which works great.

The simplest way to auto sync is to connect your phone. If all goes according to plan, you will get the sync screen asking the connection type. For example, Charge Only, HTC Sync, Disk Drive, and Internet Sharing. If you click on HTC Sync, and then check the box "Don't ask again", it will remember to use HTC Sync every time you connect your phone via USB. However, it will sync automatically ONLY the first time. If you stay connected, you have to manually sync thereafter. If you then disconnect and reconnect, it will automatically sync again.

There is no way that I know of to perform automatic scheduled syncing.

Peter
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikolayoso:
Just set up your phone to sync with google (mail, contacts, calendar) and enable automatic sync within settings.

In regards to media, I can't help you.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00466:
Thanks but I think I saw my answer - there's no ongoing auto sync against the HTC Sync desktop software. Seems like an odd omission unless the new htcsense.com offers something similar.
