I looked up in market and it says wifi at the end. how do you sync?

thanks

My Desktop is connected to the router using LAN Cable. And i connect the phone to the same router using wifi.

Basically the phone and the PC need to be in same network and then once setup you get a IP address on the screen of your phone which you need to uset to connect the PC & the phone.

I did all that, but its not working. The phone says waiting to connect even after entering IP in pc and also entering the pin.

Dont know why this happens. Will give it a try again today. Thanks

I came across some strange news yesterday. Has anyone heard anything about Samsung's android phones not being compatible with the Vodafone network ? My GT-i9000 does not connect to Vodafone anymore and the good folks at the Samsung service centre confirmed my apprehensions.

Anyone ?

Wow! Awesome pricing at BuythePrice. How reliable is the site. Ofcourse, letsbuy is not great either. Thanks for suggesting this site.

Hi all, I too need a discount coupon for Letsbuy. Anyone??

Ps. Msging from i9003 (edge)

Hello Friends,

I have purchased a Galaxy S2 for 28 K. But unable to sync it with the Ford Figo bluetooth. My previous phones ZTE Blade and SE Cedar worked fine. Anyone tried it and succeeded syncing SGS2 on ford figo please let me know how.

Rooted the phone in 10 minutes flat with SuperOneClick. But that's a long way still from network unlock. Torrenting a tool called SETool which hopefully will aid in network unlocking. Frustrated to see all this network unlocking being made a big business in the internet, where one has to pay ~ $50 to unlock a phone. Forums like XDA is useless when it comes to network unlock.

Finally network unlocked the Xperia X8. I used FastGSM.com service to do that. Basically you have to buy enough credit from their site, run an unlocking application in PC, connect the phone over USB and just click Unlock.

The application will talk to their server to see if I have enough credit to unlock the specified model and if found yes, it will proceed with unlock. The process takes about 5 minutes and one time you have to manually restart the phone, allow USB debugging and connect back to PC.

It costed 19.99 USD. There is no free or cheaper unlocking for X8 yet.

Here is a little something I just cooked up - its terribly WIP so bear with me for a week or two, but I hope it is useful for everyone:

Today, this thread has so many discussions on phone models and particular queries but not enough consolidated information on what applications one must look out for.

@clevermax - could you not have flashed a completely new ROM? I thought that's how SGS2 users were reporting doing it. btw, superoneclick takes under a minute - wonder how you took 10 min flat? lol bro!

Flashing a new ROM after rooting will not remove the network lock. The network lock resides somewhere else (called trim area, not sure its specific to SE) and ROM is not responsible for actually checking it in low level... it just gets to know that network is locked and that it should ask for the code.

SuperoneClick... I meant downloading the thing, connecting phone, mental preparation and then clicking and waiting time :D

Exactly. Its just another part of the firmware - nothing else. The website tool just overwrote it and did nothing else.

So is it possible that a fully-capable SETool would have been able to do the job? no?
