My two top tethering apps have to be:

PdaNet 3.02

PdaNet can sometimes be a bit picky and will sometimes disconnect itself for no apparent reason, but its pretty good considering it's free :)

But the app i have found to be the most reliable is:

Klink (Red Edition)

It is £3.09, but it is alot faster than PdaNet, more reliable, it so far hasn't randomly disconnected and is very stable

Hope i helped :)

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mirroalex:
Hi,

I have Sandisk 2gb SD card which comes with hd2, i installed WP7 but it seems that WP7 can not recognize my SD because when i put SD in my computer nothing is changed in my SD even i tested it, I put some files in SD and reinstall WP7 so as far as i understand wp7 has to format my SD put its specific partition but guess what nothing is changed in my SD even that files remain in the same place...

So i tried to format SD my self with FAT32 and FAT and even i delete my SD partition and none of them make WP7 format and make partitions on my SD card...

P.S-1 My SD card is working i tested it wit my computer by formatting copy some files there so read and write is ok.

P.S-2 WP7 booted correctly in this situation i mean when SD is in device the only problem i have is WIFI can not find any router when SD is in device, when i took it out wifi start working, why i'm saying this because i aware of compatibility issue of WP7 with some SD cards where it reboots if it is not compatible .
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] D.O.C:
same thing happens to me, I am now trying to reinstall (again) wp7, and it seems it got stuck at the DFT screen..... previously it booted almost inmediately. maybe it is partitioning it?, for those of you guys that sd card works, wp7 boots inmidiately?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] G-ThGraf:
Yeah SD cards makes crash wifi !

And i cannot use it... Flash WP7 with formated SD cards NTFS but still doesn't works !
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Pisisuli:
First time i istalled WP7 without SD card and when i afterward inserted card nothing was changed. Then i made Factory Reset from Settings menu and my phone started to restart over and over from point where DFT banner shws first time after loader. Then i went to the loader and as i can remember then i re-selected preferred boot source and then for me all was good. Now it show 1.6GB free space with my original HD2 SD card.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] notlesss:
I have exact the same problem.. i found some sort of "solution". but it is a bit strange. when I pull out the sd card, boot my phone in magldr, insert my sd card and boot wp7, It shows the normal storage instead of the 15 mb.

but when I try a normal reboot without going to magldr, its going back to the 15 mb. and when I try to sync my phone with zune,(with the put-sdcard-in-phone-when-in-magldr-solution) everything goes slow.

Dont know if you (or someone else) already found a "good" solution?

After I successfully flash WM7, I juz realize that my pc not recognize my sd card when i connect my phone to d computer. First, i thought becoz of some bug of wm7 so i try to flash android back. I took my sd card put into a card reader but it still not recognize my sd card. Is it gone? :(

What about the sd unlock tool that xbmod released ? try a few nokia devices or a device which takes sd card to see if you can unlock... Check out 96edwy video on YouTube on how to unlock after wp7
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mmajor:
I have the same problem like arrirang .

When I put my SdCard to CardReader, windows 7 does not recognize SD Card in reader. If I try proces mentioned in video tutorial -> result is the same. Device USB Mass Storage is displayed in device manager with error code.

I was trying it in three computers (two with windows 7 x64 and one with Windows XP) - the result was allways the same.

Any one help me?

EDIT:

I have found this solution:

1. Connect USB cable from PC to phone.

2. At PC, enter WP7-Update-Cab-Sender folder.

3. Go to ‘if needed install this tool’ folder.

4. Install Setup-UpdateWP (x64 for 64 bits Windows and x86 for 32 bits Windows).

5. Copy DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab to WP7-Update-Cab-Sender folder.

6. Run WP7 Update Cab Sender.bat.

7. Then type S – (S)end Cabs to device.

8. After finished installation, close WP7 Update Cab Sender.

9. Disconnect USB cable from phone.

10. At WP7, launch StorageLock.

11. Click yes to unlock SD card.

12. Shutdown your phone.

13. Put your SD card into card reader.

14. Launch Partition Wizard Home Edition (download it here)

15. You should see 2 partitions on SD card.

16. Delete both of them.

17. Create a primary FAT32 file type partition.

18. Click ‘Apply’ to begin the process.

19. That’s all.

It works! I kid you not!!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Moschino02:
You should know that Installing wp7 locks your card so thats why it is not recognised by your pc..

Have you installed mango or another wp7 version on this sd card or succesfully on another?? I take it, you have no nokia devices that can format your card?

If you have mango installed transfer the storageunlock.cab to the phone followed by partition cab (got to be less than your total capacity) Reset your phone check if partition has taken effect..unlock using storage lock.turn off phone ..take sd card out into adapter into your pc now it should be readable (not full capacity bear in mind) you have to use easeus partition tool to format to full..

If you have mango on a different sd card and want to recover the corrupt one

Check this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1286511

Or if your using just the same sd card you have to start over again and reflash from task 29 stock magdlr radio ie then storage unlock tool

Good luck

I have the same problem
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hjhjhj:
it's probably because you installed wp7 without the sd card in it and you did not hard reset after installing rom...if so, you need to do a hard reset with the sd card in it for wp7 to recognize the card. or you have a bad card to begin with and the wp7 install had problems.

Hi,

I'm looking for an application that'll backup my photos. Unfortunatly there is no stable program that'll sync my DCIM folder to Dropbox or something similar. I'm aware that Wavesecure has a backup media option, but they don't offer batch restore or download and the backup job has to be started by hand.

Note for the wise guys: I'm looking for something automated, plugging in my phone to the computer and copying the folder isn't automated.

Thank you :-)

Does your phone have a memory card and change the settings to change the saved folder to memory card.

Lookout Premium does that (backups photos online for $2.99/month or $29.99/year). Also does remotely locate, wipe or lock your phone. I'm very happy with it.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] tfn:
Hi I have a strange Problem

I have like flashed hundreds of Roms with no problems

recently I flashed a gingerbread rom but went back to froyo cause of on working camera and other issues

regardless what happens now is

My screen starts jumping from one side to another and the key board kinda gets unresponsive mostly at the bottom of the screen and it becomes almost impossible to use the phone, because if I press one thing something else gets pressed and I am forced to use the trackball.

So I unrooted my Hero and flashed the official Htc 2.73 Ruu.. It still happened but settled down.

Then I got a bit brave and unrooted my phone again but still regardless of which rom I use the screen goes unstable :( even my favourite Elelinux one)

I have the official Rom as nand backup If I Restore it happens and then settles.

But now I cant seem to use the custom roms without the screen jumping around like crazy

HELP :(

EDIT : Been looking around the net and some people seem to have the issue although quiet alot not sure whether its software or hardware related... possibly could be if the screen has been pressed too hard or something which my 2 year old must have :)

It still happens on the official rom as well guess time to send it for recycling cause no point repairing it although I am still in contract for a couple of months.

But if anyone has a software related solution you are welcome
[Hero, G2 Touch General] captainstu72:
when flashing next try wiping everything, clear your sd card, ext, etc and start again. I had a few issues with mine (lag, unsuable, and some issues with screen presses) and all seem to be fine now. (My phone was also turning itself off though)

(my 2 yr old jumps on my heros screen, I dount thats the cause of your issues)

so I'll post this for my future reference and for others.

I had troubles downgrading from SPL3.03 (which isn't compatible with HSPL) after my phone came back from repair.

I flashed _HTC_HD2_RUU_Leo_HTC_NLD_1.43.404.1_Radio_Signed_15.26. 50.07U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship from ActiveSync (microSD didn't work), after which I was able to get back to SPL-1.42. From there, I was able to run HSPL.

since there has developed a discussion on hardcores kernel thread with some infos about GPS that could be easily overseen because they are posted in Vibrant/Captivate sections but should also be of interest for international version SGS users, i decided to make this thread here for reference and to unload hardcores thread.

First there is a hardware fix that requires to open the phone and bend up the contact to the GPS antenna a little to get better signal

this fix is located here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9923176#post9923176

Second there is a fix that is taking on the firmware component by editing some files glgps and jupiter.xml which i did not have the time to look into further yet.

this fix is located here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=881941

if i find some other fixes i will complete this post, so if you know of something that helps, dont hesitate to post in here what you found out...

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
yes, interesting but it is meant for sgsgingerbread, which is not of interest for me as a daily driver since camera is not working yet and some more issues. but we will see how it behaves there. da_g mentioned that the gps could be influenced by cpu load also, if ginger does better work on cpu load this could make sense...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ashwinds:
Not to forget that depending on the change it could be backported if some kernel dev can take a look at Kolja's patches.

Hey FadeFX, didn't you have trouble opening the phone?

And more importantly how are the results?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
in the beginning i had a hard time to take off the backcover (not batterycover) but then i watched that youtube vid and decided to use a tiny flat screwdriver (i dont have such handy fingernails as that guy on the vid...) to lift it and it opened.

the exact results i can tell later on, didnt have a ride yet, but in two or three hours i can give info
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Metusion:
I haven't tried any fix other than some tweaking in the gps menus. I get a lock in about 30 seconds but the location jumps all over the place.. I'm afraid to open up my phone like in the vid, but would this solve this specific problem? Again I have no problems getting a lock. It also says my accuracy is about 10 meters (30 feet) so that's is not really the issue here.

The hardware fix worked for me! THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS IN HERE :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SGSChris:
Warning for the hardware fix:

do not forget to remove any external memory cards! I left mine in (only removed the SIM and battery) - result: almost ruined my phone b/c I had to use some force to put the back cover on after bending up the antenna connector.

Result - totally messud up my new 16gb card with all data on it...

Btw - my phone is an early series SGSi9000 (June built date) - the hardware fix made no difference. With my current set up (Darkky 8.0 and Harcore K12L it works well - not perfect but good enough for navigation). The most important thing is deleting GPS data - setting it to cold start and doing a reboot whenever I am in a new location.

Good luck
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] japperrrr:
Did you try walking outside for a few minutes? At first sight it seemed like there was no result, so I decided to take my bike and drive a few blocks away from my home. There I started Aura navigation software and waited for a fix, which took a couple of minutes. Then I went back home and surprisingly I still had a fix when I was inside my house. So I killed all the apps which could possibly use GPS and then I started GPS Test and it gave me a result of 11/8(visible/locked).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] deconfrost:
hardware fix did the trick for me, I get a lock much quicker than before, and no more jumping around the place, it stays within 20ft distances.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dupel:
Did both. As well as setting ntp (or what ever) setting to UK. And using hardcores kernel (that was said to improve gps). And using all recommended gps settings in service menu. ....And not using "use sensor aiding".

First two really made the difference, and all other help too. Now it seems pretty decent just by locks - inside the house on rainy evening in london I had 8/8 see/connect satellites. And a bit stronger sns.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mr_at_sgs:
I tried it and got no increase in accuracy. I had locks within 10 secounds before and after fixing contact. Maybe a little more powerful signal from the sats, acc is between 5 and 10 meter. Software issue?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
Seams the hardware fix did something good for me, it still drifts arround a little when i stop, but it stays in a radius of 10m, but i could only go for a short test.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Metusion:
I was working on the hardware fix, but those dang screws won't come out easy. I managed to get 6 of them out but 1 of them just wouldn't come out. I bought a set of screw drivers to do this and now I can't even open the phone. such a freaking hassle. I don't even use GPS that much but I want my phone to work 100%. Now the screw is almost broken and I can't get it out at all anymore.. so lame:mad: :mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dupel:
I did it with swiss knife =) As in knife.

But if you managed to damage the screw its next to impossible to get it out. Don't try further.

Also advice to opening phone - be careful of volume buttons they fall out (not a big problem, you can sick them back) and you don't have to completely open the back - only enough for knife-screwdriver to fit to fix the contact.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Metusion:
all the other screws went fine, but it seemed like one was glued in there like crazy or something, it just wouldn't budge and instead I was damaging the screw.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
if you are lucky the damaged screw is far from the gps antenna and you can still bend up the contact, but dont try to open the damaged screw anymore...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Metusion:
nah I'm really unlucky as that screw is the one next to the gps antenna :o

is there a shop that has the tools to open it up anyway? I would like to see the phone signal contact as well as I'm getting subpar reception (fluctuates a lot)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Adevem:
well as I've replied in Speedmod kernel's thread.

I've performed the hardware fix but my GPS wasn't that bad previously. I've gotta say that it's gotten me better/faster locks with less jittery navigation performance! hardware fix seems to have worked.

I too, used a flat screwdriver's head and "hinged" up the cover. was pretty scared I'll damage something.

I raised the contact points (yes O adjusted the wifi/cellular ones too) pretty damned high. maybe about 40degrees up? so it's bound to touch the copper plates on the other side.

My current configuration is as follows:

Stock JPY Base(samfirmware), DXJPB Modem(my region)

Hardware fix - well...

LbsTestMode - Cold Start + MS Based (only changes i've made)

FasterFix - set it to Asia NTP

GPS Status - to download A-GPS

GPS Booster - placebo or whatever, idk. but it seems to lock better, try it out.

SpeedMod kernel - kernel tweak for GPS improvements

Navigation software I've used:

Google Maps

NDrive

Sygic Aura

Testing all with GPS with Sensor Aiding only. No cellular data.

ah, to mention my test modus also, i use oruxmaps tracklogging
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Metusion:
ok haha I'm giving up.. I managed to unscrew the damaged screw by using a bigger screwdriver, but after I finally went through that adventure I wasn't happy to find out it's close to impossible to get off the plastic. I don't think those tiny screws were necessary in the first case. To top things off I nearly broke the chrome border of the phone while trying to get the plastic of from the back. I still don't know how to open it up.. I rather go to a shop where they know how to do this sort of stuff (pc repair shop or something) so that I won't damage the phone. Only God knows what I would have damaged if I had managed to open up the back :o
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] japperrrr:
Just watch the video on YouTube and open your phone exact the same way. Takes some time, but just be patient. My dad was scared as hell when I was opening my phone on the couch next to him because it was cracking a lot :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bau33:
possible a quicker fix

i have tried a lot of fixes in order to increase the GPS accuracy and locking time (without data connection)and finally i found one which gives me (in cold start and stand alone ) a fix time of ~1-2 minutes and an accuracy of ~5-20 meters: In lbstestmode -> Application Settings -> Operation Mode: Stand Alone; GPS Plus: Off: Dynamic Accuracy: Off; Accuracy:200; GPS Logging :Off

It will lock in 1-2 minutes with an initial accuracy of up to 150 m and then in around ~30 sec the accuracy will increase to up to 5 meters

Feel free to try it and post some results please
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Metusion:
I tried carefully but the chrome border came off the screen. I'm really scared to break things now. don't know where to get it off without breaking the plastic around.
