Don't mind tinkering with your phone?  Got 15 mins with nothing to do? Try this:

• Dial *#*#2846579#*#*
  
• Select Project Menu
  
• Select Background Settings
  
• Select USB Ports Settings
  
• Choose Manufacture Mode

Reboot your phone and connect it to your computer and wait as 7 extra devices are installed, including 2 com ports

I'm just installing QPST to see what I can get from the com ports, but let's see what you can do

I didn't make a list, but I can see the following in Windows device manager
Android Adapter USB Device
Android Adapter Modem
Android Adapter PCUI (Com port)
DBAdapter Reserved Interface (COM port)

But there were more when I first plugged in the phone.
I can't get any of the com ports to respond.  Anyone else tried or found something new?

Be careful what you do in that service menu - see my post here: http://www.modaco.co...20#entry1963556

My meddling in the service menu cost me a couple of days having to re-install Windows.

Same here, I thought it was just my old laptop
Funny how it creates com ports and even a modem device but you can't interrogate them.  Wonder what we're missing....
