Sync with Mac - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
Any idea on how to sync the phone with Mac OS without spending money buying any additional Software. I really do not want to open my dell system to do this.
Regards
Aman

Isyncer our air sync should work but cosy a few bucks. Otherwise use the usb cable and manually copy over your files.

I am using Airdroid now.
Problem with USB cable is MTP mode is not working with mac.

Try a program called Android file transfer. http://www.android.com/filetransfer/

Tether Via USB?

Anybody Tethering via USB? I could of sworn there was an app for it when I had my G1, but there was also an app for wireless.
I figure I could plug my Vibrant into my laptop and have it charge my phone at the sametime use my phone for a source of internet. When I need to charge my laptop I could just plug it in, but still have the ability to surf and charge my phone if needed.

Yeah I've only found the wireless tether as well. The wired version was just so much more convenient.

Anything for non windows users ? (Linux specifically) I'm fine using wifi tether (yes, I rooted)- but I like usb for ease of use.
Thanks guys.
Cracks me up I look for a solution yesterday and then I see 5 threads talking about kies today.
Last time I tried to grab it, but I couldn't find it for some odd reason. I guess I have a few ideas now.
@jackhuny I'll give that YouTube a try when I have a chance. Work blocks any and every half way decent site. I'm glad they haven't blocked this one yet.

In ubuntu 10.04 usb teather is automatic. Just make sure your phone has debugging mod on and plug in.

Ubuntu supports USB tether out of the box, but without the tether function in the rom you get nothing. The unbranded Galaxy S rom has a USB option for "PC Internet" which works perfect with Linux, but it was removed in the Vibrant. I rooted, just wondering if there is a usb tether app out there I'm not seeing (besides PdaNet)...
Just install samsung Kies suite, or Behold II USB driver.
Set the phone USB mode to Kies, USB debugging is optional.
Setup dial-up networking, use samsung mobile modem
dial *99#
that's it.
or you can tether directly to Cradlepoint router using same Kies mode. Make sure you specify APN in modem setting.
PDANet works via usb. You may need to download updated drivers from the Samsung website.

Anybody have any advice?
I need a little bit more information on your situation.
Does every computer have trouble connecting to the hotspot, or is it just one computer? Can you test it with a few different devices?
On the computer that you have trouble with, try this:
Run --> CMD. When you are in the dos screen, type ipconfig /flushdns
Let me know if that works. If not, answer the question that I posted.
I have also noticed that running some ad blockers will block certain websites from being able to connect when you are using the wireless hot spot. Removing them fixed any problems I had with it.
I had this problem as well. I even.called tmo and added the service for the support, and the did not help.
I wiped and pit a fresh flash of my Rom and it worked fine. Then I restored all my apps w data and it still worked fine.
Then I restored system data and I got the same problem.
So I reflashed and did not restore system data and all is now working..

My laptop running Vista connects to the myTouch hotspot but gets no internet. Then I tried with cousins laptop running windows 7 and connects to internet with no problems. Same thing with his Evo 4g.

Dns flush?
Did the dns flush and it still won't connect. Don't think it has anything to do with it. Any other suggestions?

[Q] USB Reverse Tethering

I was using connectify for phone but it makes my internet in pc sooo slow. Are there any way to get internet to phone via usb interface? Found some apps in play store but I think I would need another app in pc side
Probably with some hacking but I don't think it's possible as of now. Your only optionsare WiFi and mobile data.

Well if you have a laptop or a desktop with a Wi-Fi adapter, you can try this method: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/38835-42-create-virtual-wifi-router-internet-windows
I used it with this Wi-Fi adapter and it works just great.

Use phone as PC WiFi dongle

Hi guys,
The other day my Ethernet cable plugging my desktop PC into the router broke, meaning I now have no internet access on my PC.
I was wondering if there was some way to plug my phone in via USB, and use my phones WiFi signal to access internet on the computer.
Any one know how this can be done?
Thanks.

Yes, it's straight forward enough.
Connect your phone to your WiFi network
Hook up your USB
Then go to Settings > more > tethering & portable hotspot and tick USB tethering

I tried that and it wouldn't let me enable it - could it be a problem with the ROM? Miui v5

LS-980 any working wifi - tether?

Has anyone found or established and working wifi or usb tether on stock rooted rom? This is single handly the most important function that I require on my phone. I will probably be trading it in on the Nexus 5 this week, it doesn't look like we will see working hotspot anytime soon. If anyone has a working tether please share.

Clockworkmod tether works just fine with that the USB. I take it you're with T-Mobile?

Clockworkmod Tether connects and works for me but it randomly disconnects on both my PC and laptop. Can't figure out what's causing it.

Yes I agree it does it to me too... And you tried pda+/foxfi?

i got it to work on tmobile by using sqleditor and changing a value.... but it doesnt stick after a reboot. luckily it just takes a few seconds to change. and pdanet worked perfect for usb tethering
TMobile D801
Are there any devs working on this?
Would be much appreciated!
I don't want to hijack your thread, but I was going to make a thread and I wondered if this was better suited to go with your post. Maybe you guys have encountered this and figured it out. Part of our problem is that no one really wants usb usally. They want wifi. But right now I'd be thrilled to have a good, stable usb tether for when I need it. The only way I've been able to keep it stable is by constant download, like setting something going in the background on Netflix, but that's not a real solution!
I have a few issues. This is USB tether and not WiFi.
I need to set up for occasional tethering and just planned on using USB tethering. I went to clockworkmod tethering and installed it on a Sprint variant LG G2(LS980). I am trying to get that working on two different computers. Computer 1 is an older laptop running Vista. Computer 2 is a new laptop running win8.
Computer 1 has the app installed and works. The issue is, if I stop downloading anything for just a few moments, it quits working. I then have to close out the app on the phone and then reopen it and it takes off just fine. I’d like to know how to make that a stable connection.
Computer 2 is more of the issue. First, the Win8 driver signature enforcement setting was disabled. The app was installed on the computer and there was tethering for a little bit. Long enough to try a page or two and then point the computer to speedtest, which was 16mbps down, which is great for where we are in the country. After the test there was a gap in downloading any information. It quit tethering and would never work again. It was believed it might be due to the wrong driver. The first one was taken directly from the LG page a week or two ago, LGMobileDriver_S50xxxx, so the app was relaunched and attempted to use the driver found on triple double u clockworkmod dot com/tether/drivers and is LGMobileDriver_S498xxx and that didn’t work.
In short, what do I do to get this to work? I’m at a bit of a loss. It should be easy.
Thanks.
