The connection number is: #777  <~~ this is the number to dial....with the # sign.

*It does not matter what you call the ISP, username, or password.... the phone sends that info itself... so put whatever you want in those boxes! This is why we change the "modem" to "pda" in QPST...

WARNING... this is a v e r y   s l o w   c o n n e c t i o n.....  

~posted from my Fin Dun connection~  

DO NOT PM me on "how do i do this..." or "It does not work for me...."

wow.... i love you... LOL

I'm not done yet. I'm going to be a major player on writing the manual. Promise.

@tsx420j :
I know ya did pay... i did say "most"  

@Ybom:
i cant wait... i wanna help too  
Can you make this topic a "sticky"?

I'm "pretty sure" you can hook your phone up via USB, but I could be wrong...

And one other thing, you're going to need the Samsung USB driver as well.  They posted it on some topic on the forum somewhere.

Does the computer recognize the device in device manager?

Right click on "my computer" and go to "manage," then "device manager" you should be able to see your phone in there.  If not, you could maybe use a reboot. Although my computer didn't require one when I installed the USB driver yesterday afternoon.  Once I saw that it recognized the device (I saw a little pop up bubble saying "USB Mass Storage Device ready for use" on the right side task bar and when I opened QPST, I could see my phone attached to the proper COM port.

With regards to synching the PC to the phone, I have yet to try so I wouldn't know if it works and how to do it.  Have you searched the forums?  I'm not sure, but for some nagging reason, in the back of my head, I think I read something about synching contacts w/the fin...  It may have been HowardForums though.  I can't remember the specifics like if it worked or not or how to do it.  Try googling it maybe?  Definitely check these boards though!

I am useing the USB cable that came with the phone.

If you have the drivers installed correctly and you phone pluged in you should be able to see in the device manager:

- Samsung Com Port COm#
- Samsung Modem <~~under modems, not ports

@joejohn:
It wont work, because the feature on the phone is turned off... i am working on a way so eveyone will be able to turn it on

just tried and it didnt work.  I see it in Modem and Com in my device manager, but no luck.  What phone number do I need to set it to dial on the dial up connection?  If you have time, can you give us a step by step with a bit more detail?

Thanks!
