when I connect my phone to the comp I have to connect whilst I'm using tw launcher. I use launcher pro, is there any way around this so I can use launcher pro whilst it connected to pc.
also if I did uninstalled tw launcher will I still be able to use the kies software? and would it effect the speed of my phone?
TwLauncher is the app on the phone that is used for identifying the phone in Kies, so if you wanna use Kies, you also need to use TwLauncher while connected to the PC.
o ok, so i should leave it on? if if did get rid of it, would it speed up my phone?

I've never had the need to use WMWifiRouter as a 3G to USB connection, but my modem at home is dead and won't be replaced until Tuesday. 3 days is quite a ways to go without Internet! So, I used WMWifiRouter 1.51 to enable the 3G to USB connection for my desktop PC.
After I was done with the 'net, I turned off WMWifiRouter and unplugged my phone. I then realized I needed to upload a few things on my phone, so I plug it back in to use it as a storage device. Problem is, my computer immediately detects my phone as a tether rather than the storage device. I've enabled the option so my phone asks me what type of connection it wants to create, but my computer keeps forcing the tether instead.
I know it's the way my computer is seeing my Touch Pro 2, but I was hoping somebody else may have run into the same issue before and found a resolution.
Thanks in advance!
I just used WM last night as a test, and then finally sync'd up my outlook 2000 contacts and calendar today.
Are you absolutely sure that WM has stopped running? I know on my diamond, the task manager option would NOT show some running apps after it was running without a soft reboot for like 2 months.
I haven't tried a "storage connect" yet though, I don't think I've ever used that.
I am absolutely positive it has stopped running completely. I used the built-in task manager with SKTools to verify. Even after a soft reset on my phone, my computer still does it.
Like I said, I know it's just the way my computer is now detecting my phone, but I was hoping somebody here had the same problem in the past.
I find it a little funny... I used my phone as a temporary solution to not having internet at home and now it only leads to more problems
Try uninstalling the drivers that your computer installed for the TP2, it would be in the Control Panel->Device Manager . Honestly i have no clue which one they would be but by doing this your computer will have to reinstall the USB drivers for your phone and re-recognize your phone.
Tried it. My computer installed it as a modem, but uninstalling the drivers didn't help. My comptuer would still detect it every time and reinstall the modem drivers.
Hard resetting my phone fixed this. It's the worst solution, yes, but it still worked. Fortunately, it only takes about 20 minutes to get everything back in order once more.
Thanks for the help anyways.
UPDATE: Ran into the same problem again last night. Fortunately, I found a better solution.
I made the USB to PC connection automatically connect to ActiveSync and disabled "Enable faster data synchonization." Disconnected and reconnected my phone and I was able to use the Disk Drive option once more without having my PC automatically see it as a Windows Mobile Modem
Hi
After i install all tips and tricks the pc not recognize my htc hd2 pone and cant connect to the activsync .
Active sync
go to settings, click on connections, click on usb to pc, uncheck Enable faster data synchronization.
That should work.
Is this normal ActiveSync behavior?
I am having a different ActiveSync problem.I have to go to my task manager and close ActiveSync like all the time. I can close it and close the task manager then go back to task manager and it be there again right away sometimes. Aside from it being anoying I also think it is cause my battery to drain some what faster and my HD2 to need me to run cleanRam alot more often if you know what I mean. This only sarrted after I flashed the official T-Mobile updated ROM, it was not happening with the first stock ROM. I have seens did a warranty echange and my replacement HD2 has the same ActiveSync issue. Is this normal behavour for ActiveSynce? Or is this non normal behavior?
The Arc has a very cool USB over WiFi function Sony Ericsson added to the phone! It just works like normal USB (in MTP mode), but over WiFi!
To set it up, follow these steps:
Connect your phone to your PC over USB
Get your Arc to install PC Companion on your PC (popup dialog when connecting/go to settings - Sony Ericsson - Connections - tap PC Companion installation)
Follow all the steps to install PC Companion
When PC Companion is fully installed and set up, disconnect your phone
Open PC Companion, and click "How to connect" at the top of the window
Follow the steps when you select WiFi
Done!
Works very smoothly!
Nice.. Getting mine today, so my inner geek is bursting to get out and play!!

I am very impressed with this feature. If they could make it work via PnPx and install the drivers via Windows Update so we didnt need the crappy PCCompanion software I would be more happy.
Not sure if you guys have more experience with this but My desktop is connected thru WiFi and the WiFi option is dimmed and can not be selected. I reinstalled PC companion but didn't help.
Anyone with some tips?
You might find its a firewall issue. Do you have UPNP enabled on your router and also do you have any firewall software running on your windows client?
I have tested on Win7 x32 & x64
This made me lol, cause i had installed pc companion and today when i plugged my phone to charge in my pc i saw that i have wi-fi signal.. And i was searching myself for like 5 minutes to figure out myself that i got wi-fi from the cable

Yes AVG is running but SE allowed for all. I have to find the setting which wants to connect
this only worked for me once or twice now it never picks my phone up. Very poorly implemented really. I use Android Manager Wifi and it picks my phone up everytime
Working great here. Thanks.
Is there any Way to get this feature on LInux (Kubuntu), too?
Will have to try this. Have known about this feature for a while, but afraid to WiFi my mobile to pc, both of which are Sony VAIO.

I'm running ansar's Tango ROM currently and I never noticed this 'feature' before. I do NOT have any reception at work.. and I barely can get a 1x connection if I put my phone 46 degrees NNE of the window beside the stockroom(just saying here... no signal at all here lol). But anyway, I was connecting my HTC Trophy(Verizon) to the computer to sync some apps through ZUNE. Tested an app and noticed that I could get on the internet with my phone while connected to the computer. In otherwords, Reverse USB Tethering I guess. Like my phone was pulling internet from my computer here at work. Make sense?
Is this a standard WP7 Feature? or is this something ansar put in the Tango ROM? I was just wondering because this is an OMFG BEAST feature to have due to bad reception(and I do mean BAD) at my work area. Thanks.
Edit:
Might I add this as well.. If you disable the 'sync' screen in the WPTweaks app, you can download apps WAY faster by connecting USB then then downloading the app.
My phone has always pulled internet from my phone when connected via Zune, even on stock software
Thanks, I never noticed. I wonder how it works? is it the driver on the kernel or something?
Whatever USB mode I pick, it'll always switch to PC Software. I don't want to use it, but it keeps reverting back to it. Whether it's connected to my Playstation or PC, it always chooses PC Software.

I have this same issue and it is so annoying!
It's driving me insane. I can't root when it keeps switching back to PC Software.

Yes, I do. And I've tried factory resetting and that didn't help. but it did fix my other issue. I think it may be the Kitkat update. My phone didn't behave like this before.
Just reloaded kitkat and no I have this issue also, don't know how I got rid of it before but this is the pits. Tried G2 Xposed, G2 settings, Gravity Box but no luck. Any ideas to get rid of the pop-up every time you plug into a computer?
