Hi
Can anyone tell me how can i use DOPOD818pro as a USB-WIFI to a Windows PC.
I already know about using DOPOD818pro as a WIFI modem for internet from Windows PC.
I know buying a new USB-WIFI & plug in to the WIndows PC, is the easy way.
But is it possible to use DOPOD818pro as a USB-WIFI?
Thanks in advance
PS:
I plan to use a software Remote Disk on a Macbook Air.
Remote Disc lets us wirelessly use or “borrow” the optical drive of a Windows PC in the vicinity.
The Macbook Air have a WIFI IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n compatible.
But my Windows PC do not have a WIFI.
I also would like to know if this is possible. I have a Diamond and would like to use it as a USB WiFi dongle so I can connect my Desktop to my laptop wirelessly. Mainly so I don't have to dig out an Ethernet switch and use cables.

Hello,
After 2 days of using HD Mini I must say I am very pleased... the only major complaint is that the phone hangs up after connecting to my macbook and to my iMac. I know that this is a windows phone and I don't expect it to synchronize and so on, but my previous phone ( HTC Diamond) connected to mac computer acts normally- it is seen as external disk drive, I can copy files to memory and charge it from the laptop battery if needed. HD Mini freezes and I cannot even switch it off- I need to disconnect battery! Do you think it is something wrong with my phone or all of them act like this? Has anyone try to connect HD Mini to Apple computer? Thank you very much for any info!
Hi,
You can sync the HD mini with Apple iCal, Address Book and some iTunes music (and more) thanks to utilities like Mark/Space Missing Sync for Windows Mobile. It works through USB or Bluetooth links (it uses the MS ActiveSync protocol).
The USB mass storage mode of the HD mini seems to have problem with Apple computers. I'm experiencing the same troubles as you are with both a MacBook and an iMac. Some driver update is probably required.
Regards
Thank you!
problem solved at least partially...
using missing sync for now and hope HTC to release update to storage mode
Regards and many thanks

Mine does exactly this. Freezes and I too have to remove the battery. If I set the HD Mini to 'ActiveSync' mode, I can charge the battery from the Apple (Mac Mini in my case), but cannot access the storage card.
I use the free version of SyncMate to sync the HD Mini with my Mac, I couldn't get this to work via BlueTooth (which worked with my TG01), naturally can't get it to work via USB either, but eventually had success using WiFi to sync.
please everyone having this problem....report to HTC let's hope they fix the mass storage mode

Did this yesterday!
I should say, I don't think setting the connection type to 'ActiveSync' prevented a crash after all. I think it just delayed it!
I'm using SyncMate - works perfectly.
I'm not able to see SD card like USB storage, but via SyncMate I can connect to StorageCard and copy files.
It's not good way for big files (700 MB about 30 min), but for small is usable.

I'm guessing you have the full (paid!) version of SyncMate? I don't think you can sync to the SD card with the free version?
I can't get SyncMate to connect to the HD Mini using bluetooth, only WiFi. Is this 'normal' or am I just daft?
@ everyone -
If you have any problems while using SyncMate, please, contact our Support team at [email protected], thanks
If anyone else did report this to HTC, did you get any sense from them?
All I get back is bland statements about not supporting sync with the Mac, but to try 'MissingSync'. Surely connecting the HD Mini to MissingSync with USB will give the same lockup, won't it?
In case you are interested, here is the response from HTC so far:
Hello.
I have just received my (wonderful!) HTC HD Mini.
I am finding that if I connect the USB cable to my Apple Mac Mini, the request for 'ActiveSync, Disk Drive, Modem' pops up, then after selecting 'Disk Drive', the disk does not mount on the Apple desktop, but even worse, the HD Mini locks totally and I have to remove and replace the battery before it will respond again. I have tried turning the 'do not charge from PC if on' option on and off, but this doesn't help at all.
I have had other Windows Mobile devices (Samsung and Toshiba TG01) and these have had no problem connecting to the Mac in this way.
Can you suggest anything please?
Dear Mark
Thank you for your enquiry about Mac.
I'm sorry but we don't really have any support on Mac, but you can try Missing sync. Just search through Google and you should find it, for more support i recommend you to contact Mac. Have a nice day!
Best regards,
Hello.
Perhaps I didn't explain my problem very well. I can use SyncMate to sync my calendar and contact information between my HTC HD Mini and my Mac Mini, but only using a WiFi connection.
The problem starts when I try to use the USB Drive facilities on the HD Mini to transfer program, music and video files from the Mac to the HD Mini. As soon as I connect the USB cable to the HD Mini, the HD Mini locks totally and I have to remove the battery before I can restart it. I have used other Windows Mobile devices with the (same) Apple Mac Mini in exactly the same way and had no problems - only with the HD Mini.
I hear reports on the XDA-Developers HD Mini forum that at least one other HD Mini and Apple Mac owner has the exact same symptoms on attempting the same thing.
Hoping you can help.
Dear Mark
Thank you for your enquiry about 3rd party.
We don't have any support on Sync mate, so you will have to contact them for assistance in theis area. This includes Mac which we don't support. But sync with windows you can use Active sync 4,5 for xp, and windows mobile device center 6,1 for Win vista/7, if you need guidance please call into our support line below. Good luck!
Best regards,
Can I make my query perfectly clear as it appears as though my problem has been misinterpreted.
My problem is that connecting my HTC Mini to my Apple Mac Mini in order to use the USB disk drive transfer facility of the HD Mini causes the HD Mini to lock totally, requiring me to remove the battery from the HTC HD Mini to reset it and to continue working.
I have had no problem using the same feature on other Windows Mobile phones in exactly the same way, on the exact same Apple Mac, using the exact same operating system.
Other people have also reported problems using this facility with other Apple Mac models. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=680635) One user here is reporting that this feature has worked with other HTC Windows Mobile Models, but not the HD Mini.
It has to be said that I'm struggling to see how my first question has yet to be answered. Still. We live in hope...
Thanks for all your help...
Had this reply from HTC today:
Dear Mark Thank you for your enquiry about Mac. I'm sorry we don't support Mac, so we're not alowed to help you setup your hd-mini with a Mac operating system. For assistance on this you'll need to contact Mac, i'm sorry for the inconvenience! Best regards,
And my (final) words:
Thanks for your reply.
It seems a great pity that such a useful facility cannot be used in this model, when it was available in previous models.
Whilst I understand that you do not support the Mac, should a device designed to work to a universal standard, such as USB not work on all devices regardless of operating system? I have never had problems with other 'standard' USB disk drives on the Mac, they all work on Windows, Linux and Mac machines. I would have expected the HD Mini to do so also, if not for the Sync features (which I expected) and not only for the WiFi and Bluetooth (which do work as expected on the Mac) but certainly for the USB disk facilities, facilities that do work on competing Windows Mobile Devices.
Should you try connecting the HD Mini to any Macs that you or your team may own and discover the reason for the lock-ups, please contact me.
Personally, I'd say that the problem lies with HTC - not Apple, but it doesn't look like anything is going to be done about it. Perhaps a future update will 'accidentally' fix the problem?
I can hope. Can't I???
I have just applied the ROM update for the HD Mini (released 28th May 2010).
This appears to have removed the lock up encountered when connecting the HD Mini to the Mac, so far at least.
Whilst this has not enabled the access to the SD card on the Mac, it does mean that Parallels (Windows XP) can now connect normally using ActiveSync for software installations and backups. Parallels too seems unable to access the SD card directly, but can browse the HD Mini device using ActiveSync.
Performing this ROM update did not delete any data on my device, despite the warnings that it would. Perhaps different versions of the device (mine was purchased SIM free and network unlocked) will lose some data during the upgrade process.
Hope this helps.
Hi guys
I have a small issue with my remote connectivity to my android, I hope you guys can help with, the scenario is simple and my target is to connect to my android remotely through my laptop while the android is connected to my PC in the other room through USB cable, so what I have done already is that am connecting the Android to the PC through a USB cable and the PC to the Laptop through the LAN, now am connecting Remote desktop from my laptop to the PC and on the PC I installed application that can connect to the android so I can totally see the skin of my android and control it, but the final thing I wish to do is to make a phone call, here I connect a Bluetooth to the PC and I connect the Bluetooth as free handset to the android it didn't totally work,
So guys as you see its interesting scenario and if we work together we can accomplish something really assume
Really appreciate your help, Thanks
There are some computers that can act as a bluetooth "headphone", I'm one of the lucky ones.
Hang on while I search for my bluetooth drivers...
Bluetooth Radio by Qualcomm Atheros
Driver for my Asus N56: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/DriversForWin8/Bluetooth/Bluetooth_Atheros_Win8_64_Z800206.zip
It appears that most of the Atheros bluetooth cards support this feature.
Thanks AmeesingNoob
But the thing is that I already got a Bluetooth USB connected to my PC working as a Hands free, so from the PC itself I can do Voice call through the PC speaker and headset but my trouble is that I can’t do this through the Remote laptop that is connected to this PC
So it would be like this:
Mobile Phone Sound > A2DP > Computer 1 > Computer 2

Am I right?
Exactly,
the first connection is between the mobile and the Computer 1 which it is a USB connection, and the second one is between Computer 1 and Computer 2 which it is a LAN / WAN connection.
Ah. Sounds like something I could use too.
I did some searches on Google and browsed some forums; found this.
PulseAudio is a sound server, a background process accepting sound input from one or more sources (processes or capture devices) and redirecting it to one or more sinks (sound cards, remote network PulseAudio servers, or other processes). -- Wikipedia

Please note that this software only runs partially (command line, no gui) on Windows. It was written for Linux computers.
mhhhh
I will try to download it and test it , then I will post my result in here
hope it will do the job,
Good luck!
Hi All,
I don't actually have a Samsung Galaxy S4 but I have a friend that does, I have a HTC DNA. He posed me with a good question. Is there anyway to have a Windows 7+ computer recognize when you have your phone connected to the same wireless network so it will launch an Application or do a task such as play a song on the windows machine? I assume it would be the same for any Android Phone. He isn't against installing a program on his computer and an App on his phone. The only thing like this that I could see was a wake on LAN App that turned on the computer, but what if the computer was already on and you just wanted it to run a task? Does that make sense? Let me know if you have any additional questions.
This isn't really S4 specific but Bluetooth would be the better way to go.

How to use your Tablet Z4 or any other android tablet or phone as a secondary display with Windows 7, 8 or 10 (Duplicate or Extend Screen)Recently my tablet screen got cracked which left me heart broken :crying: . So I decided to use it as a secondary display for my laptop.
It can be done by two ways 1) Using WiFi 2) Using USB Cable
1) Download Kinoni Remote Desktop app for both laptop and your device and connect them both to the same Wifi Network (Internet not required). Simply connect and you will be able to mirror your desktop screen on your device.
2) Download TwomonUSB for both of your devices. Install ADB drivers and on your laptop and remember to turn on USB Debugging Mod on your Android device. Now just open the app after connecting the USB cable and enjoy both mirroring and Extended display on your Android Device.
This method will work on Windows 7, 8 and 10. I have made a video running windows 10 on my Tablet Z2 with Extended display
Thanks for sharing. How did the crack appear, you dropped it?

No..... It was kept inside my laptop bag and i dont know what happened. Something heavy came in contact with it which cracked its screen in a very unusual manner.
