hi!
I use LG Optimus 7, I would have to ask that kind of experience with BT can not I download or send any file. If someone has let me write or whether there is a program that must be inserted into the phone
Greeting
This is not possible at the moment on any WP7 phone and there are also no apps that allow this.
Using Bluetooth for file transfer is simply not possible on any WP7 phone as of now. Hopefully this will be adresses in one of the upcoming software updates between now and fall 2011 (along with a file explorer of some kind). However, there are other methods, some legit, other requiring unlock that will allow this, and many are in the works. We should see a lot more hacking by the end of January, all of which would probably be broken with the first update ((
Here is the response I got from LG (UK) on the issue of bluetooth file transfer -
The LG E900 handset currently does not currently support the bluetooth profiles needed to connect and transfer with various devices. We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause. We can however confirm that within the next few months the handset will receive an update that will allow these features to be accessible.

The update in the coming months...possibly the second update in the first half of 2011? That sounds like good news...

I've searched. Only found one nobody post saying it wasn't capable hardware wise... Is that really true. And if so, why can't it handle it. Imo, it should be able too.... Really want wp7 hotspot device.....
Don't believe it... Will only be a matter of time until an app is available...
I agree.. it's all a matter of apps now. Apparently, the MANGO release will give developers more access to the 'guts' of the O/S, so we should start seeing apps with more functionality than before.

It tethers fine, you just need to use the built in MFG application to change the USB port mode to QC composite.
Instructions are here:

That's insane I had no idea these can tether. I'm liking my Quantum more and more everyday. I'm a big accidental LG fan.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
I was able to install the modem without issue, and my computer sees it. However the connection is immediately refused. Apparently AT&T is blocking this in the U.S.A. At least in Minnesota.
It's kind of annoying way to do it though. Not too thrilled about entering a code and password everytime I would want to tether.
Really looking for something like Win Mo 6.5 equavalent to WiFi Router.
How about on PetroCanada or Speakout
I have the Quantum and PetroCanada UMB and I tried everything on that above link to get it to work but can't! The USB modem drivers installed correctly but I don't know the correct settings to get the phone to tether properly on the internet and I've tried so many combinations! Can somebody help me out? A WIFI Hotspot update sure would be good right now to avoid the whole problem altogether!!!
add a string in the advanced tab
Did you do the init string in the modem setup?
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","isp.cingular"
maybe a different isp string in Canada
I lost the ability to tether with Mango. My wifes phone is still on Nodo, and that phone can tether fine with the QC composite mode. Can other people on Mango still tether? I upgraded to Mango beta with the legit developer release, and then to Mango after it went RTM(never rolled phone back to nodo first).
Also on a side note, I still cannot connect to hidden wifi SIDs, and I see other people with the Quantum have the same problem. Seems like the OEM needs to enable this with Mango for it to work. Can anyone else use hidded wifi SIDs? My + icon is missing under advanced. Wondering if the route I took to Mango didn't update something.

Still no hidden SSID support with the LG Quantum.
As for Mango tethering, you're missing one more update after Mango RTM. Connect to Zune again, and check for updates. You should get an LG-specific update. That will update the USB tethering functionality in the phone for Mango.

The update is definately not available for all Quantum users.
I have AT&T and live in the United States and am not able to get the LG update.
Why everyone doesn't take the 5 minutes to go into User CP and set their carrier and country is beyond me. IMO, it should be a requirement before posting. More than half the posters in this thread haven't done it.

I have AT&T and live in the US as well. I got the LG update just fine.
You might have to go in the registry and make sure your carrier is set to ATT-US. If it's unbranded, or if that value is not filled in, then it won't work.

Done. It probably should be a requirement. Until it is, people (like me) won't do it unless reminded.

I actually dropped the service on my phone.
It's not that I didn't love Windows Phone 7 with Mango. Work bought me an iPhone 4S with a new number and they pay the monthly bill. So, I ported my personal number to Google Voice, so I can use it on my iPhone along with the number they provided. Free vs monthly bill. Free wins almost everytime.
I wouldn't think that service would be required to get an LG update, but since the carriers push the updates out, maybe it does. I guess I will know for sure when Apollo starts getting pushed out. Or it might be one of those things where it is going to take 30 days to push it out to everyone.
Nice job getting your info updated.
Is there any clue to unlock the hidden wifi configuration on our LG Optimus ? This was the only feature I was waiting for...
I thought I saw a wifi option in the MFG menu
I'm looking for that answer too...MFG doesn't seem to have an option for hidden networks...has anybody figured out how to do it? It must be already available inside the software, but hidden (I think). Any help? Hidden wifi is one of the most desirable features for me...
+1 No Hidden WiFi support on the LG Optimus 7 - bummer.
I recently had a hardware fault, and LG were excellent.
But I will probably go HTC or Nokia for my next WP7 phone, as LG ommit things as simple as this. Shame.
Bummer. Is this an Optimus 7 only specific issue?
Yes, I don't have the link to the article but LG posted that they are working on releasing a new set of wifi drivers "soon" so .... maybe next year?
...next year I will buy another phone because there will be much better choices in the market...these updates should be done in les than 2 months. I think that MS and LG were quite loose in terms of their support. I want to buy an e900 (they are extremely cheap right now) for my woman and I'm thinking that I won't even be able to update it to Mango... (I had to force the update on mine, after I flashed another firmware)...Is this support? Even if it is already updated, I won't have my country's display language (as advertised). So, Microsoft gets us always into a risky, hacking procedure...Is this support?
I was waiting for Mango to get hidden network support and tethering (as advertised), and LG has just remembered that they have to make a new update for this function to work...after one month since Mango release...Is this support? I'll tell you what it is...Irresponsibility and inability to support their products...anti-professionalism.

Yeah, I don't remember anywhere saying that and of the LG phones would support tethering, and that it was also carrier unlocked feature... so if you were to use tethering, it was probably going to be a hack anyways.
As for the Mango update. I have an unbranded phone on a carrier that doesn't support it. As the updated were pushed by the carriers I had no issue with having to force mine, and really, it wasn't and harder than turning of my wifi when hitting update.
You are, of course, free to chose any phone you'd like. While I know I must wait for the Wifi tethering feature, and am not pleased by it, I will stick with my e900 as it beats any of the phones currently offered by AT&T.
Oh, and keep in mind this is a first gen phone, I do recall some other brands having issues on their first iteration. It's a small price to pay to be an earlier adopter.
Hope!
According to this, radio and/or firmware version 1.0.16.10 will bring tethering and hidden wifi support - yippee
I can't post a link -sigh- but it's on wmpoweruser dot com website
Yeah it's out now and brings support for Hidden Wifi + Internet Sharing.
Kinda funny how just 5 days ago people were complaining about LG and that the update won't be out until next year or might never be coming.
As far as I know LG is the very first to make these two features available to pre-Mango devices.
VodaFone UK
LG Optimus 7
Upgraded to 1.0.16.10 (without having to "force" it)
I can confirm that:
Internet Sharing
&
Hidden WiFi support
Works!

I do think you are right, while there are work around's to get it working on the focus, I think this is the first officially supported version.
now I am happy

A Vodafone "Branded" version of an LG E900 of mine got the update, but my OPN version did not yet receive the update. I have also read that the OPN version gets an update, but that it will not enable tethering.
I tried to re-brand the phone but nothing happened.
I followed the guide by changing the "MobileOperator" key in the registry. It was "000-88" and I've changed it to "VOD-IT". Am I doing something wrong? "Carrier" in the about info still shows "OPN" and no updates on Zune.

Maybe you didn't do all the steps.
There were 3 key in registry to change in italian manual
Works really good.
I did the same (Ihave changed the info on all of the keys) for my second phone and still nothing (I don't want to flash it too). So, I'm waiting...
Me too.
In emergency case I'll try operator identifier registry keys change method
LG G2 NFC transfer becomes bluetooth after kitkat update HELP
everything started after updating my phone to kitkat 4.2.2
every time i send a file it will automatically turn on the paired phone's bluetooth and send the file via bluetooth, sending takes long because it is sent via bluetooth instead of NFC
never had this issue before the update, had the same issue transferring files on 2 phones, one GalaxyNote3 and another LG G2.
please help
NFC is only used to negotiate (pair) between two devices -- it's always been that way, as NFC is very low-bandwidth. Actual transfers are accomplished via BT/WiFi. See:
en[dot]wikipedia[dot]org/wiki/Near_field_communication#Bluetooth_and_Wi-Fi_connections
en[dot]wikipedia[dot]org/wiki/Android_Beam
If it wasn't done this way, given the size of many files, you'd need to keep the devices held together for the duration of the actual transfer. BT/WiFi eliminates that need.
but why did this just happen now just after the update? it was perfectly fine before the update
Files have never been transferred over the NFC link -- there's simply not enough bandwidth to do so. Perhaps older ROM versions didn't activate the BT icon, or maybe they used WiFi direct instead.

thanks for the information. but how should I make it work again just like before?

Hi there,
I'm having this problem when I try and update my OS on my Note 3 SM-N900W using Samsung Kies version 3.2.15072_2 on my Windows 10 Machine. Each time is the same - Kies connects fine to the Note 3, and notices there is an update - do I want it - OF COURSE!!! So I select that, and then Kies informs me it needs to update the USB driver before it proceeds - please unplug the phone. Then a message this could take a while. After about 1 minute I get the BSOD and windows apologizes but it received an error - attached - and must restart. EVERY TIME!
Tried manually installing the Samsung USB driver but Kies doesn't care - wants to do it for me. Yes, I granted Kies permission to make changes to the computer.
This also is happening with my Samsung Galaxy TabS 8.4 - since the issue is the same I have only started one thread. I've spent hours searching online - driving me crazy!
Suggestions?
Thanks!
Samsung has dropped KIES (About half a year ago), and as such it doesn't support Windows 10. You need to use Smart Switch instead, it's the replacement for KIES. http://www.samsung.com/us/smart-switch/

Huh! Thanks for that - strange that Samsung "technical" support didn't mention it? The agent said they are working on a Windows 10 update to Kies! Will Smart Switch also be used for updates?
I did finally manage to update my phone using Sammobile firmware and Odin - still have to root but at least I am up to date! Thank you for the reply.

Smart Switch is the full replacement for KIES. It also includes the same update function.
The helpdesks are outsourced callcenters, most of them have no idea what they're talking about. I once had an argument with five of them at once regarding the missing alphabetic sorting in the International S6. It wasn't included in the firmware, they claimed it was. Even after the official press release, they weren't aware of it. :laugh: Poor sods.

Thanks for the comments - installing it on both devices/laptop now!
LOL re "technical service". Whenever I want to get more annoyed than I already am with a problem, I use "Chat". I have very rarely been actually assisted by someone from any technology company's technical support - but hey, it could happen...
Hello everyone. I'm on vacation right now and yesterday I found an LG G Watch in the sea. I'm really surprised it's still working, because the fitness app shows no data for the past week, and it's an IP67 device. But anyway:
I wanted to get the phone number of the owner so I could call him and give him back the device. But there's a problem: I don't have a compatible charging cable to pair it to my phone without resetting (through ADB), the Contacts app doesn't allow me to see phone numbers, just contact names, and if I try to start a call or send an SMS the watch says I can't because of course I'm disconnected from any device.
What can I do?
I don't want to give it to the local police, cause last time I returned a smartphone, and two days later the policeman was using it as if it was his own.
P.S.: I wanted to post this on the dedicated LG G Watch subforum, but since there's not much activity and since this is a completely normal Android Wear (1.5) phone, I thought I could reach more people posting here. Thanks for the help!
up... nobody can help?
So there's no way to find the owner huh?
I'd say that you are the new owner. Unless the prior owner put a special app on the watch, given that it is not an LTE device, there is no way to determine who the owner is, even if you charge it up.
You could ask LG if the owner registered it and if they would return it to them ?
or...
Settings - Personalisation - Accounts
does it show an email address ?
Here in Ireland there's a popular radio (FM) show that people call in with unusual little requests and issues with wide coverage. Usually somebody who knows the other person tells them about it within 5-10 mins. Maybe theres something similar in Italy?
If it's got no data for over a week, keep it. Congrats on the find.
Thanks to anyone for the given advice. I tried hardwiring a cut USB cable and pushing a Contacts APK with no success (app instantly crashed). Sent an eMail to LG some days ago and still no response. Also my holiday ended so I'm back to my far away city.. I feel really sorry, but I can't find any other way. Unfortunately there's no radio like that.
I have seen more people get better results on Reddit. Try r/helpmefind subreddit.
you could try this:
go to settings -> known networks
look for a wifi and create at home a new one with no password and the same name. The watch should connect to it and you are able to send a sms or something else.
