Windows 7

Hey guys,
Reviewed alot of the posts here, but can't find out what the status is with the native functionality of cell modem access on Win 7...
I just got Windows 7 Pro installed (it isn't the beta, or hacked, it's retail), Everything is working (touchscreen, aero, etc...) with the exception of the native cell modem internet sharing.
I do know there is a hack by using the USB tool to get it working, however I'm just curious if anyone has it working the proper way as intended by HTC?
I'm noticing there are no devices missing drivers in the device manager, the HTC control app works fine, and even can control the modem on the snapvue side of things...
But there is still no "virtual" network adapater inside of the Network adapters on the system...

Scratch that...
I'm a tool. My shift has been sitting for 6 months after not being used until today when I decided to upgrade...
Totally forgot the virtual adapter only shows when no other connections are present...
Everything is working now

Hi!
How did you get the TS to work?
I've been trying to get the touchscreen to work with the latest W7 but no soceess. I've followed the guide on XDA and all tips on XDA but no sucess.
Could you maybe write down how you did even if it was just a regular installation? I've reinstalled and all but the ts just won't work!

To be honest, I was an idiot and had a horrible install... Here's what I did if you dare try..
1. Install all the drivers (NOT using compatibility mode and "Run as Admin")
Only a few things worked, it was horrible...
2. Re-installed ALL the drivers, using the list that HTC recomends. Keep in mind that the device manager will show some of the devices as not working, after you install all the drivers in Compatibility mode, along with "Run as admin". Go to the Device manager, and right click on all the problemtic devices and select "Uninstall".
3. Restart the computer, then Aero will start bluescreening and crashing. Boot into safemode (with networking). Go to the device manager and disable both Video card adapater shown.
4. restart and go to Intel's website and download the latest Chipset INF installer, and Video drivers for windows 7. Install the Chipset INI first, then video drivers...
5. At this point I can't remember but I thinnk the touchscreen didn't work. I just ran the Touchscreen installer one last time, and BANG it worked...
Sorry for my horrible instructions, it was a messy install, but everything is working for me now.

Thanks!
I't looks similar to how i've been fooling around with my shift.
Well, at least it's gratifying to know that i may get it to work if keep messing with it

Hi just have a quick question: When you upgraded your vista to Win 7, do you used the upgraded disk or start from the OEM win 7?

I actually didn't upgrade.
I used a Open Business Volume disc I have that was issued to my company. I guess it's the same thing as a retail copy.
I did a fresh install.

Thanks! It is OEM Disk. And one more think are you install the Win 7 pro or the ultimate? Thanks again. I really appreciate your help.

I could be wrong, but I think I did Win 7 Pro

Thanks again...I will try to install win7 pro on mine. I think 7 ultimate for Shift is too much coz the processor itself is only 800Mhz.

Auto WinMo update failed? how to do it manual?

Hi, I think everyone of us can't use the windows update feature in our omnia 2 (winmo 605)
Then, how can I update my windows build? i'm running build 21863, which have irritating menu to manage..please, i really want to update my winmo 6.5 build. Please share, thanks!

I just went into the update page on my Omnia2 and did a manual update. It took about 4 mins and I did not have it connected to my PC. Update successful.

why i can't? failed to connect.

can someone please help me?

same problem here.
it always tells me to check the connection and make sure time and date are set correctly.
for system time i use GMT+1
connection is fine. i tried provider network as well as WiFi.
Does anybody have a solution how I can check for updates?

[Solution] Update Samsung Omnia II
Method 1: By Yourself
1) Download New PC Studio from Samsung's website:
Link: downloadcenter[dot]samsung[dot]com/content/SW/201002/20100210183453156/New_PC_Studio_1.4.0.IL2.exe
*NOTE: REPLACE the [dot] with .
2) Install and launch NPS
*NOTE: YOU MUST BE RUNNING XP/VISTA TO USE. WINDOWS 7 IS NOT SUPPORTED
3) Connect your device via USB, make sure ActiveSync is already installed, ensure that NPS detects your phone.
*NOTE: IF YOU HAVE LOST/MISPLACED YOUR USB CABLE, A STANDARD MICRO USB CABLE SHOULD DO.
At the bottom right hand corner, there is a 'Upgrade' Button. Click on it. It will launch a window in NPS. Select your phone and click Check For Updates. If there are upgrades available, it should prompt you whether you want to install the upgrade. From here, follow the instructions onscreen.
If your phone errors during installation, it will boot into recovery. Reconnect the phone to the computer. It will not be recognized by NPS yet. Once again click the 'Update' Button and instead of Checking for Updates, click Recovery.
Method 2: At a Service Center
If your phone is still under warranty, you can bring the phone to a service center for upgrade. It should take ~30min for them to do that, depending on the number of customers they are serving. This way if anything goes wrong it isn't your fault.
I think Samsung disable the update function in their phones as they wanted people to flash only Samsung-Approved ROMs from their application
Besides, i was also facing this problem, so GOOD LUCK!
HOPE THIS WORKS FOR YOU

I just tried to update on my i8000 - worked fine, but:
a) it lasted a few minutes
b) no updates available now.

TouchXperience is Ok for LG E900 with Windows Phone Manager

I was able to start touchxperience with Windows Phone Device Manager (found in http://www.touchxperience.com/) for LG E900
To make this work you must have "unlocked" LG E900 through the application MFG
Windows 7 32/64 Bit Ultimate / Home Premium
Microsoft. Net Framework 4.0
Microsoft Windows Developer Phone Tools
Zune
Once installed and connected via the USB Phone TouchXperience the application is installed on the LG E900.
Do not worry about the errors that will be 'at the beginning, and if by' error serving TouchXperience version 1.3.2.0, phone manager and go Windows Phone Device Manager Change Settings and Click "Restore Default Setting" and reboot the PC.
At the next link "should" work, do a bit of trial that is guaranteed to work

That's great news!

Good to Go
Also working for me on Optimus 7 with NoDo installed reg hack unlocked.
Nice little set of apps.
Get stuck in.
XripX

Yes, a nice set of apps, nothing more.
All we need for LG Optimus , REALLY need, is full file accsess.
Similar to the HTC devices.
Without full file access the phone is useless, there is no GPS, no Apps, nothing.
The apps available are only cheap and worthless peaces of crappy soft, developed from amateurs.
The only goal is to make money, much money, without work.
I am from beginning of beta testing, but till v.1.3.2 of WPDM it is nothing more than a nice app, like thousends others available.
Zune do the same for me.
So we have to wait for unlocking the file system to full access.
Sorry for the bad news!!!

Do you really get write access with this in Windows folder on your sets?
I can't seem to write anything to the phone, just pull stuff off it.
If anyone got write access could you please explain how?

problem solved, please delete

Naturally it matters, if it's not dev unlocked you can't do anything at all with WPDM. And yes as of yet I haven't seen anyone getting full file access on the Optimus 7, don't know if anyone is actually working on it either.
As for WP7 being a ****ty OS that stands for you, I won't even comment on that.
And the apps, I'd say there are even more useless apps floating around for Android, I chose not to download them neither for Android, nor WP7.

u are right, my mistake: OS is great, the best ever, but MS make it looks and feel so ****ty. All the restrictions and dictation, tutelage of the users make it so worthless, even for the developer.
A question: how many new devices are out in the past few months, to say so, last 5 months???????????????????
Compare the price, thats the best indicator on the market, 6 months ago my Optimus was 640.-CHF and today????
237.-CHF ist the last price, from today, on Toppreise.ch
Its a really great device, great hardware, speed, all is perfect....but the whole thing is useless, aside from calling and paying money on Marketplace for worthless, useless ****.
Thats my opinion.

Unlock optimus 7 cannot connect to wpdm
hi, I have a problem with Windows Phone Device manager. I have just bought a new Optimus 7 in June, I upgraded it to NODO, I unlock by MFG method, I installed SDK.
When I connect my phone to WPDM, it don't recognise my phone, it install TouchXperient on my phone but it cannot launch TouchXperient, although it says that my phone plugined via USB, but when I try to connect, synch, it notice that "unable to connect device". Zune connect normally.
I tried to open TouchXperient manually, and connect to WPDM but I tried in vain, nothing happened.
Can anybody help me? I am using Windows 7 Professional with MSE. Is there anything I need to install before use WPDM, pls list for me.

Run touch experience on your phone before you try to connect. It should connect then. It does for me.

No matter how I tried, my phone don't connect with WPDM. should I reinstall Windows 7?

Make sure all requirements are met first.
Requirements:
* Registered or unlocked Windows Phone 7 device
* Windows Vista or Windows 7 32/64-bit
* .NET Framework 4.0
* Windows Phone Developer Tools
Hints: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
You can initiate connection from both PC and device (tap PC Synchronization in TouchXperience to etablish connection from device). You can connect via USB or Wi-Fi, but the first time you have to connect via USB so WP Device Manager can deploy TouchXperience and your device can get your PC IP address.
In the current version you can't manually set the PC or phone IP address to connect, or change default ports.
Make sure port 8007 is not blocked by firewall on PC and port 8107 is reachable on device.
When WP Device Manager initiate a connection and can't connect to the phone, in case you are connected via USB it will launch TouchXperience, in other cases it will send a push notification to your phone asking you to manually launch TouchXperience
Some tasks requires your phone screen to be unlocked
It is not necessary to have Zune runing in order to use WP Device Manager.
If WP Device Manager does not start at all, make sure you installed all the requirements and try to reinstall full .NET Framework 4.0 and developer tools.
If you are not able to connect or if some features are not properly working, go to Settings in WP Device Manager, click Restore default settings and eventually restart your PC.
If you get a message "TouchXperience version 1.2.3.0 or later is required" it means Device Manager is not able to communicate with TouchXperience, to solve the problem, go to Settings in WP Device Manager, click Restore default settings and restart your PC. Try to temporarly disable your anti-virus or firewall programs to see if that's the problem. If nothing helps, download and open WPDeviceManagerFix.reg in attachment bellow and restart your PC
If you have connection problems, try the following may help: unplug/replug your phone, close or start Zune, restart WP Device Manager, make sure your device is detected by Zune, in worst case restart your PC.
WP Device Manager or some components of it may be considered as potential threat by anti-virus or firewall programs, this is a false alarm, you may need to add exceptions to your anti-virus or firewall may prevent WP Device Manager from working correctly.
WP Device Manger is automatically disconnected when you quit TouchXperience (for example when you launch an app or return to Start screen). This is not a bug, this is because TouchXperience is stopped due to the lack of native multitasking in WP7. To workaround you can enable multitasking in TouchXperience settings.
Tap on a menu title in TouchXperience and the main menu will show up
If you want to take screenshots of an other application on the phone you need to enable multitasking in TouchXperience settings
You can only access \Windows and \My Documents on non-HTC devices and some folders may appears empty. This is because only HTC devices have full file system access at the moment.
Applications installed with other tools than WP Device Manager are not recognized (they are identified by their id) on non-HTC device, for the same reasons than above. To solve the problem you can simply browse your original xap files, application info will be automatically cached and diplayed in the app manager.
Some application versions are incorrect. This is due to the fact that some developers does not update their application manifest with correct version number when they release new versions. To fix the problem you can check for app updates and click on Dismiss All assuming all your applicatons have been updated to their latest version.
You can't copy most of DLL and EXE in \Windows directory, this is simply because these are not files but modules.
You can check TouchXperience version in Settings or in WP Device Manager application list.
You should have a folder with device name in My Documents on your PC, place here the files you want to sync with the phone.
You can send toast notifications from any program on your PC using command line C:\Windows\WPDeviceManager\WPDeviceManager.exe /SendToast "message".
In order to use WP Device Manager from Windows Device Stage, you must have Windows 7 and driver signature verification disabled, unfortunately this is because Windows 7 recognize only digitally signed drivers.

Yes, ists useless at the moment...
...and i think in the future too.
We have to wait for a CRACK, HACK or whatever for that idiotic restriction from MS...
...or wait for another OS, Android is the same **** at the moment.
or you prefer to go back ti WinMo 6.x

[Q] Fascinate driver help!!! Can't install

i need help, i have tried everywhere and can't find anything and any help would be greatly appreciated
i'm on the road to root my samsung galaxy fascinate and have ran into a laundry list of problems. i have rooted many android phones coming from eclair, froyo, and gingerbread, but seem to be stuck at the slightest of problems when it comes to the fascinate.
i can not install the drivers to the fascinate. i have searched through the web for all the drivers and have tried every possible galaxy driver. the driver simply won't install on my windows 7 prof 64bit machine. i have never ran into this problem before with any other phone. every time i try to install the driver it gets to the very end of the install then pops up with the message "windows was unable to install the driver"
It also gave me the option to view the failed windows installation log, which after many successful steps, at the end the log shows this error:
Action ended 1:26:53: ShowMsiLog. Return value 0.
=== Logging stopped: 12/16/2011 1:26:53 ===
MSI (c) (0C:08) [01:26:53:750]: Product: SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones -- Installation operation failed.
MSI (c) (0C:08) [01:26:53:750]: Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones. Product Version: 1.3.550.0. Product Language: 1033. Manufacturer: SAMSUNG Electronics CO., LTD.. Installation success or error status: 1603.
i have also attached the entire log
the first thing i did was plug in the phone, which windows sensed this and automatically installed a driver, not sure which. after this i unplugged the phone and then checked "usb debugging" for rooting purposes and plugged the phone back into the computer which windows then installed another driver automatically, then following the steps from xda to root the phone, i downloaded the given drivers which is where the problem first occurred and the drivers were unable to download.
I'm simply trying to get root access to the phone and can't do anything with the phone with crappy drivers...i can't even mount usb sd card now to transfer data anymore. the drivers have completely been shot. i desperately need help. please
also what is the absolute easiest way to root the fascinate? is it with one click root or with Odin? Because the fascinate just updated itself from 2.2.2 EH05 to 2.3.5 EH03 and i'm not sure which program supports rooting which version of android. also all other android devices simply give root access to the stock rom, which is great cause i get to keep all my apps, messages, contacts...etc, then simply titanium backup everything and transfer it over to the new rom. is it different with the fascinate? will rooting the device simply flash a completely new rooted rom? therefore loosing everything? if anybody has any answers to any of these questions, please be my hero. thanks

sorry didn't see what section this was in, also have posted this in the Q & A section, my apologies

This is elementary, but did you unzip the drivers file after you downloaded it? The reason I ask is I had same problem for about 10 mins before I realized my brainfart.
As for root, just flash a rooted rom, either stock or custom. Tutorials and guides are all over this site just dig a little.

Have u try downloading the driver directly from samsung.com ? No way to mess up that way.
Backup everything if u dont want to loose it. Sms backup from Market let u save ur text to your gmail account. Save your contacts to the SD card, by exporting it as vcard. Then titanium like u already know.
Once u flash new rom u will loose everything. Flash new custom rom will berooted already.
