USB Tethering problem - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
I flashed custom rom on my Desire S - newest CodeFireX. After that I tried to enable usb tethering function, but it gave me no internet connection on PC (network icon was showing that everything is ok, just pages couldn't load.) and also my HTC didn't have internet connection. I tried another rom, IceColdSandwich, and everything was like before. I installed drivers for my HTC one more time, that didn't help, then I was flashing few other roms like CoolDroidEvolution, MIUIzero v9, Revolution - saga, and something I can't remember, and the result was still the same. One time, PC network was fine but phone still wasn't. Meanwhile i tried with tethering apps for both smartphone and PC. Tether app was showing that transfer is ok, upload and download was rising.. And in other app, download value stopped on 97 kb/s. I was searching solution for that problem, but i couldn't find anything like that. What should I do in this case? Any ideas?
Greetings

I had exactly the same problem! "cannot run timewizard.exe" appeared every time i tried to get off stand-by. Most propably you followed directions in this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293480&page=10.
Try doing the same thing again(flashing pdaviet3). Start by rerunning enableRAPI(in short follow directions described in the flash tool contained in the above post). I did the same thing and everything went ok second time. Then, i did a hard reset(after i took a backup), by going "start->settings->clear storage".
Hope this helps
I can't reflash if i cant connect to active sync. unless you know a different way...

Most propably, you need ActiveSync 4.5 Beta 2 (Download it easily from M$ site). WM6 doesn't wotk with ActiveSync 4.2. Try it and keep us posted
first time i tried to connect it told me I had to install activesynch 4.4+ or 4.5+ or something, so i dl'd it but i had to run out for a few hours.
So when i got home, still no luck. It starts to detect but then it just wont connect.
Well since i just "cleared storage" things have been working now
I got that timewizard error once but it closed itself real fast, also now get my contact list up
wont know if active sync works for another 8 hours =/ just got to work.

At least things are working now. Activesync beta, becomes unstable sometimes and it fails to connect to the PPC(as you describe). The only solution for me, is to reinstall it(not a big problem for me), but anyway... it's still beta(as all M$ products )

[Q] ActiveSync doesn't work anymore

Sounds like USB port is broken.
Hi all,
I've read a couple of threads for several days now, but none of the answers worked for me.
Problem is: I can connect from my HD2 to my desktop PC (win 7) initially, but when I try to install a new ROM (3.14.407_2), my HD2 restarts, shows the four colour screen and nothing more happens. After some minutes, my PC tells me that my phone isn't connected anymore.
It worked two months ago for the last ROM flash, but now nothing helps.
Tried:
- rebooting PPC and PC several times
- deleting partnership and setting up a new one
- disabling "faster connect" for usb to PC settings - afterwards, PC doesn't recognize any connection at all
- hard reset on PPC
I have no idea what to try next.. I wanted to install HSPL2 and flash the ROM from my SD card, but can't install HSPL2 ... same problem.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Infyrana
I also tried several USB ports on my PC
You think the HD2 USB port is broken? But I was able to transfer data when connected as normal device without active sync.
Do I have any chance to check, whether you are right, without having to send my phone to HTC?
maybe running the update in compatibility mode will help?
I thought the microsoft mobile device center (or however it is called) was made for win7, as the actual activeSync tool cannot be used?
So I can't see a benefit from this, but anyway.. I will try.
You could try using BlueTooth with ActiveSync, thats what I do. I have a "micro" bluetooth adaptor for my laptop and it all works fine... just a bit slower.

the compatibility mode for the ROM update file could help becasuse it is a separate application (no guarantee though as I have no way to check it on my PC)
compatibility mode didn't help.
don't have a bluetooth stick ...
no further suggestions?
Just found out, that windows tries to install driver "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" when I connect my HD2 after starting bootloader.
But it just searches and doesn't find anything. I searched by myself, but didn't find the driver anywhere ...
if you are really determined to update ROM, find the thread on ROM 3.14 here on xda forum, I recall seeing guidelines on installing ROM from SD Card
of course it will not solve your sync problem, but still...
Yah ... I wanted to install HSPL2 to be able to do install the ROM from the SD card (at least that's what I understood - that I need that first), but I can't install it, as I already wrote.
I GOT IT!!!
Finally.. in a forum somewhere in a forgotten corner of the internet.. someone gave an advice to uninstall the windows mobile device center and reinstall it.
After uninstalling, I had some trouble to find it again, but finally got it.
And guess what: it works now.
Windows managed to install the quadcomm driver and I could update my ROM.
Never had such a hard challenge with my HD2.
Thanks everyone who tried to help!

[Q] Wifi network not showing

I've got a strange problem with this x10i phone, I'm not the owner of this phone, but someone I know gave it to me cause she thougt the phone was dead, I dont know what problem she experienced because after I put the phone to the charger it just booted like there was no problem. One problem that I encountered after I turned the phone on though is that my homes wifi network is not showing in the network list. I do not have this problem on my own samsung galaxy 3 and since I'm not familliar with this phone I'm not sure what to do. I want to help the girl who owns this phone out by putting some usefull apps on it, so does anyone know how to solve this problem? The phone is running on stock Android 2.1 Eclair.
Is it a Ad-hoc network?

I don't know if Your samsung can see the Ad-hoc network, so it would be better to check it. If it isn't an ad-hoc network it may be a ROM problem. I would suggest You to install the stock ROM 2.3.3 for now with SEUS.
P.S. Doing that will erase all of the phone data (not the sdcard)
Next problem

The phone doesn't seem to get connected to my pc via usb. It starts charging but there is no usb icon or anything like that. I'm on Windows 7 64bit with Sony PC Companion installed, the same problem happens on a 32bit XP. I connected with a usb micro cable that was laying around, not with the official cable that came with the phone, could that be a problem? Anyway, anyone got a solution?
Edit: The usb port didn't make contact very well I think because when I pushed it in further it showed the icon and I'm able to connect to pc
Just succesfully updated the phone to 2.3 stock firmware (wich hurted my fingers because I had to push in the usb cable the whole time ) The problem with the wifi still persists, wifi networks from the neighbourhood showing up, but my home network isn't... Any more suggestions?
Edit: figured it out myself at last, phone didn't see my own network because it was on channel 13. I've changed the channel to 4 in the router and now it works just fine

Samsung MTP Driver Failed

I tried connecting my Samsung S3 to my computer and it doesn't connect. I tried debugging also and it doesn't connect. I uninstalled drivers, installed GS3 Toolkit and nothing is happening. I know there are related posts but those posts are not for i9300 they are for verizion, at&t, etc. What can I do to fix this problem? Can it be something with the ROM? I am running CM10 Paranoid Android.

Download driver.
Download SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface Driver v2.9.503.726
Restart your pc..
If not it should be test a different cable, tries to change usb port
if it is not test a different pc.....
CM10?
Do you happen to be using CM10, nightly? As found this to be the problem, while it worked with stock and even the Omega 26 build of JB, it does not work with CM10 nighties, as no matter what the "MTP USB Device driver" can not and will not install, what is interesting is the exact same driver worked less than 24 hours earlier with omega and did not require a reinstall, so my guess is CM10 has broken this support in the current builds.
What I'd like is a generic MTP driver to see if that works.

I have found the answser to this: After one year of troubleshooting, Done all the steps before like you mentioned and notthing happened too.
So I deciced to back-up my S3 to on a mini SD card. After that I gave the phone a factory reset. The phone reloaded and pushed the software again to the phone. If you make the phone factory default make sure you have a hotspot in the neaberhood so you can connect on to the wi-fi.
Why the phone get its software through Wi-FI or 3G to get its software again and Wi-Fi is faster:cyclops:
After the phone is back to factory default follow the instruction on the phone. It's just like you have the phone new out of the box . When that's its done connect it to your laptop/pc and start KIES or what programming your are using to sync your S3 with your laptop/PC and voila it connects and works and when you managed to set your bacp-up back from your S3 you can even see it back in the KIES program. Well dudes I hope this was help full.
