Ps3

I just bought a ps3 and im wondering what all I can do with it from my android. Whoops. Saw a midget stripper and accidentally posted. Anyways, ps3 doesnt reconize captivate. Do I need to download drivers for ps3 will that work? Did a forum search for ps3 came up empty so if you can point me in the right direction or shed some light id really appreciate it.

For a system to recognize the Captivate, or pretty much any Android phone, it needs compatible drivers installed. I don't believe there are Captivate drivers for a PS3.

I figured that much. Thanks man.

I just hooked my captivate up to my ps3 and it recognized it even transferred music and photos to it. I plugged it in and mounted the phone and ps3 saw it. Funny I was curious too and was shocked it worked

mine has always worked, you just need to connect it as a mass storage device

the ps3 doesn't need drivers for any (probably most) usb mass storage devices. it probably doesnt even need drivers for most other usb input devices.

Oh ok. I guess it's a problem with the phone, because when I hook it up the usb connected notice doesn't pop up and I can't mount the phone. Guess I'll have to troubleshoot it.

Go to settings, applications, USB settings I have mine set to ask on connection, USB debugging is on too. Don't know if that has anything to do with it, hope that helps.

Wow, good to know. I happily stand corrected.

[Q] Question about wireless PC connection

I recently bought my mother a Motorola Bravo and I found that phone can connect to the PC wirelessly for file transfer. Also the Motoblur software is useful. Does anyone know if there is an app or setting to allow wireless connection to a PC? My laptop does not have bluetooth or I would use that. I am also not talking about tethering, just for file transfer.

Search for browsix by a member here and check it out...just came accross it but not at my computer. Sounds perfect but who knows.

Did a search but it didn't come up with anything? You wouldn't happen to have the link

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866988
There ya go...have not checked it out yet myself but I did find it in the market, has free and paid $2. Not sure what all the restrictions are on free though file size is one.
Also, the search here on xda is somewhat lacking...you are better off using google and including a reference to xda in many cases.

Try Swiftp ftp server.

Did you turn on usb storage? Plug your phone in, pull down the notification tray, should have a usb connected ongoing notification. Tap it. Then turn your storage on.

Try a different usb wire? Port? Basic stuff, I know, and im not intending to be condensending, but im trying to eliminate easy stuff before anything more drastic. As you didn't say what you have tried, we gotta ask.
Question: Have you use the usb tether recently?

Me and my bro have identical phones includin roms, kernals, etc. He has the same problem with the usb reading and also he has other minor problems which i dont have. That I see on the forums.

I've had issues with my laptop seeing my sd card after using usb tether. Try rebooting both your phone and pc. That works for me.

I've used the USB tether (CM 6.2 native) a handful of times, and on 2 of those occasions, my hero and my laptop would not connect to my home wifi until I power cycled the router.

Do anyone kno of any apps that can help this situation?

(I Ended Up Returning Mine)
But I'm Almost Positive I Can Help You, Let Me Look For The Apk, & You Can Try It!!

[Q] boot menu?

I found this at rootzwiki called "Found a bunch in Fastboot menu's, SBF flash mode, recovery and more...." im not a dev so I was wondering what these options do. I went down to hp tool and selected it to see what tools come up and it just rebooted my phone. I guessing I need it hooked up to a computer to use this. Since I don't know what im doing I stopped but I phone seemed faster. Not sure if its just cause of a reboot but I couldn't get over 1000kbps download and 500kbps upload. After I did the hp tools and it booted up I was getting over 2000kbps DL and 800kbps UL. Can anyone shed some light on the subject for me. "Remember im not a dev" just someone that's wants to improve his phone.

Ok, I switch to wifi to see what I get and speediest went through the roof. Switched back and now I can barely get over 100kbps DL

So your saying doing this is speding up download speeds?
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA Premium App

I don't know what I did but was getting 2000kbps last night trying to play around to see what it did. But know im doing the same thing and can't get to much above 200kbps. Its stop giving me 2000kbps when I switch to wifi then back. Just trying to figure out what I did.

Nice that would be nice of something did influence download speed. But could also be that late at night when the network is not as crammed you do tend to get higher speeds

True but how to hold the speeds at that rate without going down to low kbps like the op is getting now. Have you tried it?

Help!!! My phone was hacked!

OK so the weirdest thing happened just now. I was charging my atrix HD when I went on it to check a phone number. Then it started opening apps and going on xda then other apps. I had no control over it. I couldn't even turn it off. I had to do the power and volume down thing to shut off. It was very creepy. I was just looking for a minute while the person did what they did. It was like when a person from dell controls your computer if something isn't working right. At first I thought it was being laggy but no! It kept going settings were changed and the person tried playing music on it! I turned it off before he could but the wierdest part is that I had turned of my wifi and set my phone on airplane mode so it can charge faster. No communication what so ever. Right now its off and I plan to keep it that way until someone can tell me what to do to protect myself. Also this could have been happening before i went to go check my phone. Which was like 15 minutes before I checked it. Please help

Maybe you installed an app that had a RAT or some other virus in it

That's what I'm thinking. A bad app. The likely hood of it being hacked are slim.

I'm guessing you handle it like you would handle a virus on a computer and just wipe everything and start over.

android is very hard to hack probably a virus delete data in cwm

Best thing to do is just wipe.
Easy way to do it is to go to Settings->Privacy->Factory Reset
It was probably a bad app.
Click thanks if I helped!

Another thing to be aware of is I've noticed Motorola's screens (at least on the Atrix models) are kind of finnicky. If there's a little bit of moisture around they just start registering touches on their own sometimes.

With my battery life being... less than ideal.. I find myself plugging into all kinds of chargers along my travels. Some non moto chargers make my phone go nuts, exactly like what was described - apps opening etc. Have experienced this several times. Feel the other explanations are possible of course but highly unlikely.

There was a story on the news recently that someone's iPhone was hacked by trying to charge at a public charging station. I would be weary of these charging stations.

Airport WiFi connections are VERY insecure. Basically they monitor everything that goes through. Text messages, calls, anything. Maybe they also have access to control phones?

I agree with above post non oem chargers can make the phone act funny especially the cheap dollar store chargers get an oem cable the you will know that it will work for charging and data.
