If your lappy has WiFi then just turn on WiFi hotspot of your phone and connect with it. Make sure that internet is on , on your phone and 3g sign is visible. The method outlined by K is how you will connect via USB tethering option. GWizzing on beautifully and freakin loving it.- 8 replies

Update Verizon Fascinate i500 to Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich and Jellybean
joshm replied to joshm's topic in Samsung
Wanted to share my latest setup I am currently on GEEWIZ , the ever so dependable ROM of the fascinate, one of the best i have used till date . I am using it with a few tweaks and a theme , which makes it totally out of the world , the USP of this theme is it makes geewiz lightening fast , so much so that it can beat the hell out of any ICS ROM any day If you are on GEEWIZ and want to have this kind of setup then gimme a SHOUT and i ll add the files plus the procedure here are the screens i just love this theme , so much so that i made it to work with some tweaking on geewiz regards -
Update Verizon Fascinate i500 to Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich and Jellybean
joshm replied to joshm's topic in Samsung
@ Silver1 : dear whenever you are downgrading from ICS or JB to GB then you should ideally use the PIT file as the ics and jb ROMS change the file system which can create havoc if you are not partitioned correctly on GB. thats why PIT file is absolutely necessary . and loads of thanks for chipping in mate -
Update Verizon Fascinate i500 to Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich and Jellybean
joshm replied to joshm's topic in Samsung
yes , if you are a heavy user who makes use of most functions of your phones then indeed you may not prefer to use ICS or JB , but THS seems pretty stable TBH . anyways if you wish to go back to OFFICIAL eh03 ( with official i gue3ss you mean the verizon stock eh03 ) then just download the eh03 stock odin from any of my posts + download the atlas pit file to your PC once done just backup your contacts , call logs , smses with super backup app ( pretty nifty it is ) and backup your apps with mybackup root. after that just switch off the phone run ODIN on your PC ( link is there on page one ) remove battery from your phone ( its turned off currently ) Put the phone in download mode by pressing and holding volume down button and connect the phone to ur PC with usb cable ( make sure your cable is not faulty ) this way your PC will recognise your phone on a com port and the port will be shown in yellow color on odin after that hit PDA button on odin and give it path to the EH03 tar file + hit pit button and give it path to the atlas pit file after that hit start it will take like 5 to 8 minutes for the flash to complete once finished > put in the battey and boot the phone the first boot takes around 6 to 8 minutes and now you are on stock eh03 official verizon rom ( full of verizon bloat ) =============================================================================== If you wanna root the stock ROM then download the RED RECOVERY from page one and put it on your PC and download the SU zip file on page one and store it on the root of your SD card Run ODIN on PC turn off phone put it in download mode like before and connect to PC hit PDA button on ODIN > and give it the path of the red recovery flash by hitting start put the battery in dont reboot the phone > instead press the vOL up + Vol down + power button together > this will take you to red recovery > in there just use the option of flash ZIP from SD card and flash the su zip file > once done reboot phone and update the su aka superuser app you are now rooted and van use my backup root to reinstall and restore your apps - but if you ask me you should ideally download all of them afresh from market as ICS app create issues in GB. ============================================================================================= hope this helps if you want to install my favourite GB rom , GEEWIZ then just follow page one. or i ll outline the process again as per my and your convenience . have fun post here if you need anymore help. regards -
Enabling 1X/3G Data On Non Verizon (Reliance -India) Fascinate
joshm replied to Maverick75's topic in Technical / OS related
Well I donno much about Indian version but you might try using CDMA workshop to setup your phone like we do in our imported ones. And then flash the 1x and 3g settings. Its just a hunch, again saying I donno much just speculating This could be very very risky and I do no how this Indian version will react to it. GWizzing on beautifully and freakin loving it. -

Update Verizon Fascinate i500 to Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich and Jellybean
joshm replied to joshm's topic in Samsung
I am not sure coz I have never ever made any conference call from my fassy. I can't tell about ICS or jb coz they are not official and developers may not have given this feature weightage . I would have tried but currently I am on GB as I wanted to test a few addons that djp is making for geewiz apart from the jelly bean rim that he is making upon our request.

Last year in April when i upgraded my PC , the vendor whom i trust suggested me to get AMD processor with a MSi Board , i dont remember which one was it but it was BLACK EDITION of some kind , everything was so called top notch quality in that system acc to him. and boy i was frustrated like hell , the processor fan was so noisy that one could hear it in a brand new PC from the other room , i tried decreasing the fan speed but then without usage the processor temp was crossing 40 degrees in temperature. System hung like 20 times within that 24 hr period , the time i used that PC- and that was my first and i am sure , last experience with AMD , next day i had to go back and return the assembled PC , and get the processor and mobo replaced with intel I5 , and boy even after roughly 1.5 years the system is quiet like a thief yes its costlier , i remember i paid like 5k more at that time but i am fully satisfied and can safely say that i wont budge from INTEL . my 2 cents
