Are you sure you didn't get the wrong plan on your account. It is not regular tethering plan, but the new Mobile HotSpot plan that supports multiple devices via Mobile AP. Regular tethering plan does not support that.
[Captivate General] stoobie-doo:
According to AT&T, the two plans are DataPro Personal with Tethering and DataPro Enterprise with Tethering, as can be seen at http://www.wireless.att.com/answer-...ncharset=UTF-8&solutionId=KB115814&isSrch=Yes

Both my company and AT&T have insisted to me that the phone is provisioned correctly.

All I know is I won't leave the support center without confirming that the replacement phone does work; shame on me for just not disabling the tethering manager, but since it's not my phone, trying to stay on the straight and narrow :rolleyes: - although the fact I had to flash via Odin to get Froyo in the first place got me already off of that path.

Despite both customer care and advanced tech support claiming provisioning was set up correctly; removing the feature and restoring it finally solved it. Now to re-root and re-install. Sigh.

Edit 2: Once I rooted with SuperOneClick (psneuter) - MobileAp stopped working. Unrooting has made it work again.:eek:

Before re-provisioning, however, I was not rooted, and it did not work either.
[Captivate General] bames:
1. Then why encourage people to use more data by forcing them to purchase a tether plan that includes 2 more gb of data. As i said most people wouldn't use more than 2gb even using tethering periodically....I don't but if i hadn't rooted and was forced to purchase the tethering plan for $20 more i would tether more and make sure i used the extra 2gb i was paying for.

2. Just because you tether doesn't mean you will use more data. Alot of data abusers are actually doing mass quantities on their phone without tethering (torrents etc.). Tether away doesn't mean many users will be free to just use as much data as they want...as anyone on a capped plan will still pay $10.00 per gb over their cap. Anyone on an unlimited plan could be handled if they used absurd amounts of data (could be throttled...etc).

3. Charge for the DATA itself. It shouldn't matter whether you use it tethered or untethered.
[Captivate General] bames:
just because you need more data doesn't mean you would need a tethering plan that added 2gb more data.

If you have the tethering smartphone plan you have 4GB of data/mo for $45

If you have a capped 2gb smartphone plan and use 4gb guess what it costs $45

If you have the 4gb tethering and use 5gb it will costs $55

If you have a 2gb smartphone plan and use 5gb it will cost...*gasp* $55

Now obviously at this time being a company phone they probably don't want you to root so your only option is to pay for tethering if you use it but the bigger point is Tethering plans are a bad business model and not necessary. They only serve to alienate the customers like me who occasionally tether and never go over 2gb of data by expecting me to pay $20 for NOTHING.

So what if i did go over i would pay $10 for each GB over. What if some months i need 4gb and i pay the $45 to use it maybe some months i only use my 2gb and pay the $25 for it maybe another month i need 3gb and pay $35 for it. Not rocket science...given the customer this kind of flexibility is just too logical for them to grasp i guess.
[Captivate General] stoobie-doo:
Well - stopped working again. Gave up - rooted, renamed tethering manager; it works.

Pathetic - I'm still paying for the service (or more clients are), but this awful setup required me to go around the standard way.
[Captivate General] fldude99:
I have to say that all I did was freeze tethering manager with titanium..end of story. Works like a charm
[Captivate General] studio52:
I did everything...it all seemed to work fine...except no connection came through...I dont quite understand...or I could not find in my wireless settings,,,use packet data I typed it in the search box, I looked at every setting never saw that type of setting to toggle...so Im stuck ...again...lol...dang I thought this was finally the done deal...Im usind windows7 64bit on a brand new sony Vaio....any suggestions?...The att denial is gone...every thing else seems fine...There is just something missing...my pc is not recognizing the tethering from the phone.....Please any suggestions?
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
If you read my posts in this thread, I have to wait a few minutes after enable Mobile AP before my PC has internet connection.
[Captivate General] loonieryan:
I haven't done extensive testing, but that has been my experience with the Rogers stock ROM as well after deleting Tethering Manager.

I wonder if there's a better way to shortcut that out. On the custom ROMs the connection is made immediately.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Custom ROM probably has the original Google Mobile AP code that does not need TetheringManager. On carrier released ROMs, Mobile AP has been modified to look for TetheringManager. If it can't find it within certain time limit, it will continue functioning.

A minute or two waiting doesn't bother me that much as long as it works. If you don't like that, you will need to go custom ROM route.
[Captivate General] Simba501:
Nice! Thanks

[Captivate General] Racer447:
I second this. Froze with Titanium and USB tether working flawlessly.

It seems a little fishy that they would make it so simple. Is it possible they'll be "auto-enrolling" us into a tethering plan if we use this method??
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
The hardest part is rooting. They figure if you can't root, there is no need to make it harder after that. Remember, the current rooting method uses a known exploit (rageaginstcage) that is the same method used by more than couple dozen malware apps just pulled from Market yesterday and Google already fixed the exploit in latest version of Froyo 2.2.2 and Gingerbread 2.3.2.
[Captivate General] fldude99:
The more discussion there is about this, the more chance there is that ATT will figure a way to shut the Mobile AP down..but I guess then there will be a way around that as well
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
how is it hard to use SuperOneClick?
[Captivate General] :
A quick question from a newbie: if you wanted to install tethering manager apk again, would you have to reflash the phone by Kies???

Thanks for answering :)
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
What I described above is exactly how SuperOneClick works. Somebody did the hard work for you. Now be thankful that Samsung didn't use 2.2.2 code. Otherwise, even SuperOneClick won't work anymore.
[Captivate General] fldude99:
Not to bypass, but why would you want to delete the apk? Just freeze the tethering manager and you don't have to mess with the apk.
[Captivate General] raphotog:
Hello sorry, a newb right here. So i was able to successfully root my phone, i do have the official release but when i go to tether i still have that need to have a tethering package message. i also have deleted tether manager using titanium backup
[Captivate General] fldude99:
Why would you delete tethering manager? It just needs to be froze..not sure what the results are if you delete it..but no need to afaik
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
The mobile AP will still has the message on it (it is part of the app). If you did it right, your tethering should work. When tethering manager was in place, you will get additional message in notification bar about need to check your plan (and with fail if you didn't have the tethering plan).
[Captivate General] raphotog:
I was following a video on youtube which said to delete it??? and it said some where on this forum as one of the options.
[Captivate General] raphotog:
okay so i have the unofficial 2.2. on my phone rooted and when i go to tethering it does not show the need a tethering message on my phone.. my friend has the official 2.2 which is rooted as well but he has the tethering message on his phone. will this always stay up here because he has he official release??? and does he only need to enable tethering and check if a message pops up, if not is he okay to tether??
[Captivate General] newlegend:
Mobile AP works!

Thanks, it works for me!
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Unofficial 2.2 does not have tethering manager to check your account for qualifying plans. Official release does. If he does not pay for tethering plan, it won't let him tether at all unless you perform the steps outlined in this thread.
[Captivate General] igorgomez:
Hello everybody!

I'm from Brazil (TIM carrier) and cant connect my laptop on the internet through the USB of my Captivate. If I perform the procedures described here can I remove the restrictions on AT & T to use my Captivate as a modem?

PS: my phone is unlocked and rooted.

Thanks for all!!!
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
If you upgraded to official 2.2, yes. You can chose either USB tethering (you need to enable it separately) or wifi hotspot. There is no need, nor any support, of use Captivate as a modem.
[Captivate General] ZephCr:
I didn't do any of those procedures & I get perfect tethering from the wireless tether app. All I did was root & allow nonmarket apps.
[Captivate General] bames:
are you using the official Kies update or one of the 2.2 kb1 builds from xda?
[Captivate General] fldude99:
Not sure I believe that..you must have done something to allow mobile ap. Until I froze the tethering manager I was blocked with that pop up message
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
That was my experience as well.

The Wireless Tether app is good.

I now have CM7 and still use it, because it is easy and convenient.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
No, he is using the 3rd party wireless tethering app, not the built in Mobile AP. My past experience with that app isn't that great (frooze my phone couple times0. It only supports adhoc wi-fi which means only PCs are capable of connecting to it.
[Captivate General] bames:
Would it have hurt him to specify that he wasn't using the Mobile AP APP? :p
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
His post never mentioned MobileAP... in fact he specifically said "wireless tether app"
[Captivate General] fldude99:
In a thread that is discussing how to enable mobile AP (even tho the title says "tethering")...no biggie tho
[Captivate General] ZephCr:
I'm using the official kies update.

Sorry if I confused anyone too. I just saw the word tether & decided to throw my 2 cents in.
[Captivate General] igorgomez:
In conclusion, I can disable tethering manager (freezing or uninstalling) and it will not have trouble sharing the internet of my Cappy via USB with my computer. Correct?!

I'm already sharing with the Wireless Tether but spends too much power, because they are connected to wifi and APN. Sharing via USB I think that improves battery life.

If I'm wrong in my conclusions, please correct me.

Thanks!
[Captivate General] ZephCr:
Ok, I uninstalled my tethering manager. It still says I need to have a plan to use it tho. Is that always there maybe?

Put Music to your SDCard ?

/Music
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kompolaga:
Hi,

There are the default songs that came with the phone in that folder. And I could see these songs in the music player, but now when opening the music player it says: "No music found"

And after using the eFile Manager app I saw that the songs are on the SD Card so they didn't move anywhere.

This also happened to my whole Gallery now. It says: no photos & videos found

:(

What should I do??? :(

The files are on the SD Card but not in the Gallery. Did unmount and remounted the sdcard several times and used the SDRescan app and everytime I use the Rescan app, the new pictures or movies I take before rescanning,, go away from the Gallery.

Please I really need help on this!!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobSimmo:
Is it the standard SD Card that came with the phone?

If not, try a new SD card in there. All music in the sdcard/Music folder should be auto found as said above. If not, it sounds like there's a problem with your card.

Also, are you on stock ROM or rooted? Bought in shop or online?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andalism:
Check if anywhere from the root of your SD card has this .nomedia file.

This nomedia file tells your gallery/music apps not to detect that part of the SD card.

Had this problem few months ago too
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kompolaga:
Yes it's a SD card that came with the phone (8gb Samsung) , I bought it online from Asia.

It was perfectly good until I got this problem.

I didn't do much with the phone in terms of changing the software or Rom. So it's the same Rom the phone came with (stock).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kompolaga:
Hi,

The .nomedia files has nothing in it :s

I don't know if I have to buy another SD card because if the problem persists I lost my money on the SD card too :s

Hi!

It worked! Now I have my pictures and music back!

BUT I also took some videos :S

Where are these videos at? :S because they are not in the Video player :S and they are very important videos :S

Please help me with this!

Also how should I get rid of the sounds in my music player use the .nomedia folder then? because I have a lot of sounds from the apps and games playing in the music player while I'm listening to music.

and just having the .nomedia folder empty did hide all my music and picturesa and can't find my videos right now.

Please some help would be appreciated!

Thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blezz:
u just got to place the nomedia right

f.e.

SDCARD

- media

- - music

- - videos

- Android

- - game1

- - game2

in this case u can palce the .nomedia in the game1 and game2 directorys, just not in the root sd folder

.nomedia prevents album&music to scan the directory & all subdirectories from scanning

Why does that file .nomedia appear?

I had the same issue, and if not for this forum, i wouldn't know what to do.

Don't know how I got it on there. And more serious is, you think anyone else would look or just re-format. I don't know if it is a bug, but pretty serious if the average user has no clue what to do.

First and most, i got scrued big time when i swaped my old phone for this peace of brick at my local market. Phone works like when he wants, litteraly like he has its own will to make my blood pressure go up.

I can never finish whole process to install xrecovery as it crashes in between so i am doomed to use SEUS Firmware. Current one i have are:

2.1-update1 2.1.54 Core 2.6.29 SEMCUser-SEMCHost#1 ver. 2.1.A.0.435

This versont tends to work fine (and also only one i can use), BUT with one big flaw. I have to limit myself from turning WiFi (20% chance of reboot after its activated, not limited to market only; maps, browsing anything can triger this), then i go to market (40% chance to close, 20% chance to return to starting screen of market, 40% chance phone will reboot). I cant install anyting bigger then 2mb. The longer the aplication is downloading i have higher chance to get error downloading file, or file not installed. Even smaller applications i must repeat download at least 3 to 4 times until it installs right. Best game i started were solitare cards (that also brakes after a week), and alchemy (which corupts save file after a week too so i need to reinstall it). I dont even know what market is, as 95% of apps there i cant install.

If i install more then 5 applications on phone it has huge chance not to boot phone at all, and i am doomed to SEUS again.

I have phone 2 months now. Reflashed it over 10 times, crashed over 1000 times, record reboot was 2h of constant restarts right after i put SEUS original firmware 3 weeks ago. I think it reseted like 200 times, until it finaly came up. All the time it was on charger.

Now, my primary suspect is faulty Motherbord, corrupted internal memory or bad battery. What do you all think?

Phone is not under garantee, i am from serbia, no offical SE support here... only general supplier ComTrade. I will try to find new battery (but i think its slim chance). Dont know how to check internal memory integrity as i cant find any app that does that, and for faulty motheboard change... well i can recycle it as industrial waste in that case.

[Q] "Device not recognized" "Drivers were not installed successfully"

Well, crap. I don't know what else to try here.

I plug in my phone to update to 2.2 and in all 4 of my USB ports I get a "usb device not recognized" error. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the root hubs, nothing. I want to try to uninstall the drivers specifically for the phone, but can't find them (running windows 7 32 bit)

What the heck man?

So far ive done:

Uninstalled the samsung captivate drivers.

Uninstalled the USB root hubs.

Uninstalled Kies Mini.

Reinstalled captivate drivers.

Reinstalled USB Root Hubs.

Reinstalled Kies Mini.

Turned on debugging before plugging it in.

Turned off debugging before plugging it in.

Changed to mass storage mode.

Changed to Media Played mode.

Changed to Kies mode.

FACTORY RESET THE PHONE.

I think that about covers it. The next step I will try is to get a new usb to micro usb cord. Then, if not that, i am going to a friends house.

I shouldn't have to go through all of this crap. Especially when it was recognized about a week ago. nothing has been changed, deleted or updated since then either.
