Hello,
does someone know how to use the Sensation as usb storage?
In Gingerbread that was really easy but this time I cannot find
an option for that.
Thank you

ICS Doesn't really support USB Storage. You have to download Mods.

Hmm, as soon as I connect the phone it pops up and I select storage on the phone. Windows the sees it fine.
I have noticed that the screen must be on at connect time. If it's off, connect, screen on it doesn't show.

This is on my winXP laptop, win 7 one is bust ATM.

OK, so far this phone has been just about perfect.
My only gripe so far is that when I plug in the usb charger to my computer and set it to "Charge Only"... my SD card still gets mounted and I can't listen to music.
I don't remember this happening with the G2.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting I missed?
Thanks
Do you have the Winamp app? If so, go in the options and turn off auto mount.

Thanks!
I can't believe I didn't know to do that. *facepalm*
Works perfect.

I recently bought one of these but can't seem to get it working on my tv or laptop. I watched the official htc how-to video and it says to make sure the tv and phone are connected to same wifi. My questions include:
what is the purpose of both being on same wifi if I already have an mhl adapter and hdmi cable connecting my phone and tv?
how do I set this up? And for my laptop?
Do I need a newer tv to do this? My tv is 37" 1080p but doesn't have built-in wifi or anything like that.
I've also heard the term "mhl-capable tv"...how do I know if mine is capable?
Thanks for any help!

Try plugging your micro-usb cable into the side of the MHL cable. Then plug the AC adapter end into an outlet. You need to be charging your Sensation in order to use the HDMI out.

Ya I did that, and I get the hdmi out icon in my status bar and as soon as I plug it in, my tv detects the new signal but my phone doesn't see the tv cuz its not on same wifi. So my question is why is wifi necessary if its already connected via mhl and hdmi? And also how can I set up the wifi for the tv or do I need an even newer tv to do this?

I dont know why but the restart helped my phone last time I had this issue. Maybe it has to restart that service. Is your phone temp-rooted?

Oh alright, just try to reboot the phone and it should work. I was wondering if you were temp-rooted because that was when I had troubles with my mhl adapter.

Yeah that first part about being on the same WiFi doesn't even make sense. When I got my MHL adapter, I took it over to a friends house plugged it into his TV and it worked like a charm.
I did not have to reset my phone though, I don't know why that would make a difference or not but it can't hurt to try.
I have the mhl + hdmi cable, you don't need a WiFi connection. It just needs to be charging, connected thru the adapter's side, and connected to the TV with the hdmi cable.
BTW there is no WiFi in a place I use it often.

Anyone tried watching an xvid movie on your tv via the MHL adaptor?
If you have, is it working ok?
For me, the quality of the picture is very much depending on which player
I use. The best one that I have tried is "Dice player". But no matter what I do I can´t get any "flow" in the picture. It is always "choppy".
Any suggestions of how to solve it? If it can be solved...

Don't know of such capability using the Inspire but I use my HDTV as external monitor on my MacBook Pro...have you tried some sort of display port adapter?
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G using XDA App
There is no capabilities to recognize external storage devices other than the sd card. You would need an external monitor as mentioned in previous post.

Normally I'm the one helping out and never asking for help but please help me out! I've searched through both Google and XDA and I can't get this Sensation to connect to my Windows 7 64bit laptop for the life of me.
I've installed the latest HTC Sync and I keep getting a driver error whenever I plug my phone into the laptop. I even deleted old drivers from my previous Android phones (Galaxy S II and myTouch 4g Slide).
I am definitely not a noob of any sort. This is the first Android phone that is killing me when it comes to setting up the drivers.

Thanks for the response. Device manager is saying "unknown device". I keep deleting it and it still says "unknown device". Hopefully I can get it to download the necessary drivers through recovery.
I'll test it out soon as I get home. I'm at work right now.

I'll try a different one but I'm honestly convinced that I have bad drivers. Thanks for the tip.

Redownload the drivers. Do you have usb debugging box checked? Also try different ports. If a desktop i recommend pluging in behind your tower.

I've tried installing the drivers through Recovery with both USB debugging on and off and still no luck. I tried using different ports on my laptop and still no go. I even tried using another USB cord and nothing. I really don't understand this phone!
Never in my life have I had this issue with any other phone. I can't do anything other than charge my phone with my laptop

What if I delete HTC Sync and plug in the USB? Would that install drivers automatically?

Iv'e installed HTC Sync witch installes Sync and Driveres. After that i uninstalled HTC Sync, because that leaves the Driveres.
I've tried everything suggested and still no luck. I went to HTC's website and downloaded HTC. I then checked on USB debugging and HTC SYNC and I keep getting the error.
I guess my next bet would be to call T-Mobile or HTC to see if they can trouble shoot the issue. Thanks for the help guys!

Just wonder if this or this article will answer your question.
Also note if you are using custom ICS ROM with Sense 4.0 WiFi tethering might not work.
I'm running eye candy aokp Rom.

It should work on your device then. Never tried this ROM, but my guess that the same instructions as for stock ROM could be used.
Hi I'm running eye candy and confirm wifi tether works great with this rom. Its a matter of settings. Settings go like this., make sure and power off phone and pull battery put back in before you start to tether each time. Settings are routing fix checked, disable wake lock, channel 11, set up wext ad hoc checked, device profile generic ics, dns,8.8.8.8,lan 192.168.2024,transit power disabled. Your set.if it starts with a error power off pull battery put battery back in power on you are good to go.! Do the battery every tethering session. I hope this helps you. Works like a charm. Its a simple free app at the playstore called wifi tether. I use it daily with the eyecandy rom. Best wishes and happy tethering!
