Step 1 - install Samsung drivers (instructions abound, run a search)
Step 2 - set to USB Debugging Mode
Step 3 - Plug in phone ;-)
Step 4 - hit the 'windows key' type 'phone' and click on 'Phone and Modem' when it pops up. Click on the 'Modems' tab.
Step 5 - Select the SAMSUNG ANDROID USB MODEM that shows a COM# next to it, and select properties. Click the 'Diagnostics' tab, then 'Query Modem' As long as it sends back 'Success', you can continue with the rest of this.
Step 5.1 Click the "Change Setting" button on the lower left corner of the dialog box, if your version of Windows 7 still has that.
Step 6 - Click the 'Advanced' tab, and insert
Code:
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","epc.t-mobile.com"
into the extra initialization commands. Exit out of the Phone and Modem Dialog
Step 7 - Go to 'Internet Options' in Control Panel, and select 'Connections' tab.
Step 8 -Click 'Add...' button, and choose 'Dial-up'
Step 9 - Populate Phone Number with *99# Name with 'wap' and password with 'password' Name the connection whatever you like.
Step 10 - cross your fingers and click 'connect'
As long as Step 10 connects you to the internet, then you're good to go.
I left-click on the wireless icon in my toolbar to access the dialer, once it's setup there's a section for 'dialup' in addition to wireless
The only 'difficulty' I've had is that sometimes I have to unplug and replug the USB cable in order to start the networking - otherwise, it's been very stable, and I'm getting MUCH higher speeds than when using PDANet or Easytether, and I SEEM to be getting better battery life (laptop and phone) than using the Apps.
Like the OSX instructions, this SHOULD work without root, however, I've not tested it without root, so I don't want to promise anything ;-)
Thanks to MSW1382 for helping me clarify this set of instructions.

Just tested this out and it does work.
There are a couple things I would like to point out.
Before step 6, you must click the "Change Setting" button on the lower left corner of the dialog box.
Also in step 7, you are referring to "Internet Options" not Internet Properties.
Seems to be working ok so far. I am posting this using this method...
there is an easier way to tether without being rooted and using windows. if you download Samsung Kies, once you connect your phone(keeping in mind you need to go into the applications setting under setting and change your usb function to kies) in the Kies program, there is an option to tether. i have used this successfully several times now. its worth a shot if you dont want to go and alter any sort of setting on your comp
speeds
Thanks, it works perfectly.
Thanks. This works. I had easytether and that worked for a day, after which it kept disconnecting after a few minutes. This seems more stable but I don't know if it's just as fast or faster, but hey it works so I'm not complaining.
I'm typing this out while tethering Happy happy joy joy.
Will this work over Bluetooth? Time to mess around with this

I have noticed that my phone loosing battery very fast (below in 35% after a day). I also noticed that the activesync keeps on running in the background ?
Please advise
Thanks
Same happens here, even if i shut active sync down it still restarts after a while ?
Theres been a load of threads about this already; basically no one has figured out how to get it to stop completely yet (as far as I know). I've tried the activesync killer as well as other methods too.
Carrying out the False Server works and stops Activesync showing.
However, what I still find is at midnight my phone comes alive then shuts off after the time value (in my case after 2 mins).
Beards
SOLUTION!!!
there are many posts here - i found 2 solutions:
1 - cab file (active sync killer) - did NOT work for me
2 - worked for me great!!! here is the solution:
Ok so click on > settings then > task manager and when you see AS running click and HOLD on it, it will give option 'add exclusive' then click on next tab called 'exclusive' and you should see AS in there also, the box should be not be ticked
JOB DONE!!! this works great!!!
thanks! it helped me disabling it too

Yes, still running at background.
not for me! its never there when i check -
how are you seeing it running in background?
does this work or is it still there? just not showing it?
yes doesnt exclusive mean you are adding activesync to be excluded from being terminated and therefore just hiding it?

From the HD WiKi:
In new devices out of the box Activesync is on all the time. To fix this you need to make a fake MS Exchange account setup (obviously this is for people that don't use the Exchange server).
Go to Activesync/menu/configure server, fill in all of the empty spaces of the pages with fake info, i.e. "[email protected] etc.
After filling in all the empty boxes, click next and uncheck all boxes sync options, Contacts etc. , then click Finish.
Now go to Activesync/Menu/Schedule and change the sync times to "Manually" , now click OK. Finished!
There is now a fake Exchange server that switches off the Activesync from starting itself.
NOW. If you want your Activesync to work but turn off each time you disconnect your USB sync cable, load the app called Activesync Killer at this link into internal memory http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=386948
That is it. Activesync will operate when needed and turn off when the cable is disconnected.
-------------------------------------------
In addition to the above fix, do this Tweak:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2481033&postcount=81
Activesync doesn't start anymore and the only time it doesn't close after use is when I've been connected with the "Disk Drive" connect option. In this case, just close Activesync after using Disk Drive with the normal taskmanager on the HD.
No its still running on Background damnn!! Why??? How can i close AS for ever??

If you follow the directions, Activesync will stop running.
I am glad I found this thread as I also noticed this.
I will try the above shortly.
Will this also stop the pop up of exchange trying to connect (it says correct my details or something as it cannot connect) when I am plugged in via USB?
Now this is strange.......
I'm happy with the Fake Server routine (been using it for years on my other Pocket PC's).
However, what I noticed two night back was at midnight the Blackstone woke up and then after 1 minute shut off again.
Last night when it woke up I managed to pick it up whilst it was on and did a search to see what was running.
According to the Blackstone... Nothing!!
Now something is waking the device up at midnight and I would like to say it's not Activesync.
Before I start off a new topic I'd like to first post this here and ask if anyone else has noticed if their device is switching on at midnight.

Thanks but AS never did show in the drop down menu.
I also tried connecting to my PC both under Disk Drive and AS after I noticed it.
Again, to all sense and purposes the Fake Server trick works in that it does not launch AS anymore..... It's just this weird starting of my Blackstone at midnight which has me baffled.
It never did it prior to the Fake Server trick so I have to assume it is something to do with AS.
...and again I am happy with the Fake Server trick. I've been doing it for years on different Pocket PC's.

Implemented 'fake' server method; all is well (no resurrection-midnight or otherwise). Been using this method on a previous device for few years, now on the Blackstone.
I did this so I can have a full scale Verizon PRL instead of a gimped Alltel one since I am on an old Alltel legacy plan. I built one of these guides (much easier) for the Droid Incredible and here's the follow up one for the Samsung Fascinate.
You can also use these same steps and applications to connect your phone via Diag mode with QPST. When you do, please be careful
Steps...
First acquire and install QPST. Hint google search "site:forum.ppcgeeks.com QPST and QXDM"
1 Get your MSL (I think they're all just 000000, so you can probably skip this)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8294762&postcount=14
2 Download a PRL that you want. Here's three spots to check...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...ybrid_for_Verizon_users_in_Alltel_tower_Areas
http://www.the-answerman.com/sidlist/prl/index.asp
http://www.corolada.com/prl/
3 Install GalaxyS Drivers http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7238660&postcount=1
4 Put phone into modem mode, settings, wireless networks, enable dial up networking, say yes.
5 load up your device manager and watch for the com port (under ports) you'll need to know the port number later.
5 Plug in phone (usb)
6 launch QPST Configuration
7 Click Ports tab, then "add new port"
8 Type in the port number on the right "COM4" in my case, then Label it, I used "USB"
9 Click ok
10 Click the Active phones tab, your phone should be in there now.
11 Click Start Clients
12 Click Service Programming
13 Your phone should show up and press ok
14 Click the Roam tab on the new window, then Preferred Roaming.
15 Click Browse and select the PRL you want to apply, locate it on your hard drive and select it.
16 Click "Write to Phone", enter your programming code (this should be 000000) Press ok.
Phone will reboot, you can close out the QPST app.
All Done.
Normally don't bump my own posts, however I entirely changed this from a question on how to do it to a full scale guide for others.
Hopefully someone else will find this useful.
Good work man.

my mobiler needs the phone to be connected to the desktop with a usb cable. thats a turn off. and if a rom (such as some of the ics roms based off the leak rom) isn't supporting usb mount, then theres no use. webkey can be connected to your phone from any wi-fi connection, from any browser, from any pc.
Mymobiler was the ipso facto app for wm6.x to enable one to control ones phone via a pc.
many people were waiting for it to be ported to android. It does support wifi as well as USB connections. I'm fiddling with mine now, as it happens. (downloading webkey, never heard of that one so thanks. I'll have a fiddle with that one too. It looks far more complicated i.e My mobiler is exactly what is says. Your phone on your desktop. I do like the look of the GPS stuff in webkey though.. Still fiddling...)
Webkey... far too complicated. How many user names/passwords/registration of device with them even?

I agree with that, but it also depends on what requirements you got
little bit slow, but worth it a try
webkey is slow over the wifi. cant connect with usb. much trickier than mymobiler. Also much slower than my mobiler.
Actually, I agree. Hence, I've uninstalled it since discovering Airdroid. Its also free on the now Google Play Store (seriously though, Google Market sounds much better, I don't know what they were thinking.)
Its similar to webkey, but its more organized and has a better layout. And if you can't or don't want to connect via Wi-Fi you can tether it to your PC with a USB. You can control your Note from the browser as well. Definitely check this one out, much simpler to use. I don't like apps that restrict me to only be able to control my phone or act as a file manager with a cable. But this has both options.

This is a solution for people using the Nvidia Shield with a computer they manage via Windows Remote Desktop Connection and Windows 8:
I was having difficulty restarting shield streaming after using the streamed computer via windows RDC. It would tell me that the display was not compatible with the GPU. My current setup has the computer in another room hooked up to a projector which is rarely on. I realized that after RDC the console control would not return to the default display. This worked for me:
Create a desktop shortcut by right clicking on the desktop and selecting new, then select shortcut.
In the text field enter:
%windir%\System32\tscon.exe 0 /dest:console (See below)
Right click the newly created shortcut, click properties.
Click the shortcut tab, and click the Advanced button.
Check the "Run as administrator" box and click OK.
If this doesn't work, try changing the number zero (tscon.exe 0 /dest...) in step 2 to the number one, and if it doesn't work, keep incrementing it until your remote desktop is released.
Alternately, open up a shell with start menu, run, cmd. Type qwinsta Enter, and look for the ID of the session that is in the active state (it will have a > character at the start of its session name). That's the number you need to use in step 2.
When you want to restore the console desktop, just double click on the shortcut and allow the administrator access.
It worked perfectly. I hadn't found a solution listed anywhere yet for this specific issue so I thought I'd share.

The windows drivers I use.. (I think I got e'm from Motorola's site) constantly prompt me for permissions to access the phone when I plug it in to windows...
They bring up some stupid IE URL for Verizon "backup assistant plus" and video..
So what drivers can you use with the XT907 etc. that justs allows you to transfer files etc. with no headache? (ohh yah and these drivers bring up stupid extra prompts for file transfers)
So were clear to what I have... it shows Motorola Mobility LLC v6.3.0 in "programs" the Device Manager shows 2.4.5
bump.
super bump!
You should be able to see your phone in My Computer. Just treat it like a usb or external drive.
The drivers work in the background. They're not an actual application.

It's because you have the software set to automatically attempt a backup of your data when connected to a computer. All you need to do is find the program in your task bar and disable the auto backup setting.
