My Hero is showing as HTC Dream - Hero CDMA General

When I connect my phone to the computer after it installs the software it says HTC dream and not Hero. This is keeping PdaNet from working and HTC sync does not show my phone either. I am using fresh Rom 1.1. The weird thing is on my Win 7 64 bit computer it shows correct. Any ideas how to fix this?

This isn't a problem really, the software just sees an android phone and says Dream as it was the first android phone. PDANet and HTC Sync should work fine... actually, I have had problems with PDANet and HTC Sync both being installed, uninstall them both then just install PDANet and all should be well.

you have to manually change the driver to "My HTC"
Go to the device in device manager, hit update driver then hit manually select driver from list.

I did that many times and all it does is come back and say windows is already using the best driver for HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface

The problem with having the computer see it as HTC Dream is when I try and do a restore using the RUU from Sprint it says the phone is not connected to the computer nor will HTC Sync ever show green

I feel like an idiot. I failed to click search for driver from a list. Now it is showing right. Thanks for reminding me about that and just how easy it was LOL.

Not supported by Samsung Kies.. What?!?!

I try to download Samsung Apps by using Kies but when I click on Samsung Apps icon it says.. "This mobile phone does not supported by Samsung Kies"

Oh God.. so im not the only one
I think they just have not added it to the program's supported devices list. You should try to browse the store, download a free app, then look for the .apk on your PC without connecting the phone.

It doesnt matter.. connect or not connect the phone I still cant browse the Samsung Apps store. If the phone is not connected it says "The server committed protocal violation"
That's weird, I was browsing the store without my phone connected, will go have a play with it now and get back to you.
I can browse and download things fine without the phone connected, the files are saved to your My Documents\Samsung\Downloads folder, but if you click on "All Devices" to give you a list, there's only 4 in there, and they are either Bada or Windows Mobile.

I just grabbed the one off the Samsung Apps site:
samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as
If you look at "supported phones" it shows the same 4 WM/Bada phones, but underneath has a screenshot of the SGS and the Android version.

Tether Stripper?

Cyanogen nightly less than a month old. USB Tethering won't work on my Work Laptop because "Android Phone" is showing up under "other devices" in Device manager. Win 7 is supposed to have this driver built in, but it's quite possible that my work stripped out these features when they prepped the computer.
Tried using XP driver, to no avail. plz help.
Did you try reinstalling the latest version of HTC sync?

The subject of this post is definately not what I was hoping I was getting from the title :-(
I second the "HTC sync" install prior to trying anything else.

Has anyone tried it yet?
Yeah, it doesn't detect my G2. Sits on the main screen saying, "No device connected". A buddy of mine with a G2 has the same result.

Sounds like you may not have the correct drivers installed for your device. Check device manager (Win key+Pause/Break).
HTC Sync recognizes my Z but says that I've connected a device without storage card and that a storage card is needed. I've tried with and without debugging mode.
And my SD card is mounted with Auto Mount.
Any ideas?

[Q] I/O Tab Mounting With Mac

Hey everyone,
I love my tab from I/O but as a Mac user I am stuck with no way to connect it to my mac to put videos on or anything. Every time I attach it to my Mac (or even PC) it wants to load Kies. It doesn't give me the option to mount as disk or anything.
On my Windows 7 PC it does allow me to browse it as a folder but I don't use my PC for any video downloading or anything. Is there a solution for Mac? I tried downloading the DMG for Honeycomb tablets from Android.com but it still didn't work for the Samsung tab. Not sure what to do here.
Second thing... someone needs to break a version of the new Netflix app to work on Honeycomb. I can get the app to load as is but it won't let me play video, says that this device is not supported.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Did you try this: http://www.android.com/filetransfer/ Should work. I used it with the Xoom and it worked like a charm.
Also if you have the SDK installed you can use ddms to open a file explorer. (In the same menu where you can launch the screen capture app)

I did try that and it did not work, because I think Kies is persistent and messes with it. Any other ideas would be great.
And to be clear: neither Kies on the mac nor Windows recognizes it either -- they say it's an unsupported device.
I managed to get a movie on it for the flight home by connecting in windows (VMware), installing Kies (for the drivers) and mounting it as an external drive.

Really that would be a disaster for the 10.1v because of a lack of a SD card...... It would mean that one only can transfer files over a network.
But I assume that uninstalling Kies would solve this?
Deleted.......
Anyone else know anything that might help? I don't have Kies installed and cannot get it to work on my Mac.

Only option is adb push if you want to get your files on there. Or wireless transfer but hat takes too long

I tried both the Windows and Mac versions of Kies, and ended up having some luck with XJNB. I have a post on my blog (at surfsoftconsulting.com) explaining this, have a look at the Galaxy Tab First Impressions entry. The problem seems to be that Samsung's implementation of MTP is rubbish. Worst case scenario is that the update to 3.1 will include Google's own (and hopefully less buggy) implementation. I guess a more worse case is that Samsung have donated their code to 3.1... sigh.
I should add that since doing a factory reset I've not been able to get XJNB to work with the tablet :-( so I shall probably move to using a Wifi based solution

filetransfer doesn't work - at least not for me - with the I/O Galaxy Tab 10.1 (MacBook Pro early '08, OS X 10.6.7). I've written more elsewhere on this thread, I won't repeat it here.

[Q] Windows Bluetooth Drivers?

Windows 7 is not finding any drivers for my G2 when i try to pair it with my computer. My G2 is currently running CM7 7.0.3, not sure if that matters or not. I did a little bit of googling, and couldn't find anything. I also couldn't find anything on the forums concerning the G2. I'm not sure if it's just the ROM I'm running, or even the kernel I'm using.
Download the android sdk and install it on your pc
Search for the sdk on google that should do it

Funny, I have the SDK installed. I'm having it run updates now though, and I'll look for bluetooth drivers in the manager as well.
SDK has nothing to do with it. What bluetooth profile are you trying to connect? PAN, serial port, modem?

Well, I'm just having the computer pair with the phone by making the phone discoverable. Some of the modes may have installed correctly, but I'm not sure. Bluetooth file push isn't working in astro, however that maybe some incompatibility with astro and cm7...
Just checked the settings, and the "supported" services are PandoraLink and ServicesProxy. I just had the phone pair with the computer this time around with the same result.
Open Pandora and go into settings to turn off "Bluetooth for automotive" then try again. That is for the Microsoft Sync service, so this may be the issue.

Well, that fixed the missing device driver problem, but Astro still can't send a file over bluetooth... If saying send by bluetooth, it says file not sent, if by Astro Bluetooth, it says push failed, trying ftp, file transfer failed.

Just ran across this thread. My g2 also can't send a file. I can recieve a file from my laptop but not send one. I have tried astro and also some free bluetooth send/rec pgm from market. Also i have tried 2 different radios and 3 different roms (doubleshot, cm7 and myvision).
