Do you guys have usb host\slave mode switcher working on corvus5 SP1? I can't get it to work on either of the two vega's I've tried it on?

Just want to know if it's working for you - if it is it must be something I'm doing wrong.

Thanks,

worto.

There isn't a switcher.  Just hold back whilst booting until past the splash screen.

If I've helped you, you want to say "thanks" and you do not use Dropbox (it's enormously useful, especially with mobile devices), please consider signing up for it using my reference. You'll get 2GB of disk space for files available anywhere, any time on any device. They give us both an extra 250MB if you do sign up!

Sign up for Dropbox

Apple?  I'd rather eat my own kidneys!

Thanks for the answers guys, I know there isn't a switcher as such, but when I follow the instructions on the 1st page,the back button thing, it just force closes on me. I posted a while back but nobody answered so when the thread was bumped back up I thought I'd try again.

It doesn't work on either vega for me - both exactly the same force close error - both wiped to stock then flashed using vega tools, odd. At least I know it's not a fault in the ROM in general now - didn't think it would be or it would be more discussed on here...

This is my post from a couple of weeks ago - if anyone has any ideas let me know or I might try manually reflashing  one of them instead of using vega tools but I can't see what the difference would be?

Hi,

I'm new to corvus5 - just moved over from modaco r8, it's looking good but I can't get the usb mode switcher to work.


When I try to swap to host mode to use a usb stick I follow these instructions


Quote
For enter usb host mode:
Press power button, once display get power (you will see the diference), press back button and hold until finish booting.


I take it once the display gets power it means when the backlight comes on then hold it down until I get to the pattern lock screen?

When I do this after the pattern lock I get the message

Sorry - the application Advent Vega USB HostMode Indicator (process com.ptbwillis.gridhostmodeindicator) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force Close.

Then when I hit the force close button it's still in slave mode

Any ideas? Thanks for any help,

worto.

Have you tried it with the pattern lock disabled?  USB host mode worked fine for me when I ws using Corvus 5, but I never used the pattern lock.

thanks - I did try it on one of the vega's with no pattern lock - still the same problem, after reading about the new vegacomb release having on the fly - no need for a reboot - usb mode changing I tried that & there's no way I'm going back, it's the smoothest my vega has ever run!


Cheers,

worto.

Hi leo,
If you have the phone apk's installed go to settings, accounts, add account, google, don't enter account details instead press the menu button on the status bar and select settings, and tick 3g power and enable data.
It will take a few seconds to power on the modem and about 20 seconds to establish a connection.
Here is a short video of me doing it if you need it (I have an internal Huewei E130 modem but its the same for all 3G modems).

You can download Widgets to open the last page of the above steps so you can toggle 3g with a couple of clicks instead of 6 clicks. Check the market for these.

Thanks Richard.

I have successfully connected the 3G signal followed your instruction .right the moment my vega can receive incoming call signal and make outgoing call signal ,which means i can not talk through vega just know the number who called me......
Any way to make vega a real big talk-able phone? Thanks.

see here for a discussion on making calls through a 3g dongle.
Skype with an online number subscription seems to be the simplest solution.
Remember that 3g dongles are meant to be for accessing the internet while away from wifi hotspots not for doing Dom Joly impersonations on the train with a huge mobile phone  :lol:

I'm having trouble downloading these files from Mediafire, I get an "Invalid or Deleted File" error.
Are they being targeted as a file sharing site, like Megaupload?
Are these files available anywhere else?

Thanks,

Barry
