So ever since the 2.2 update for my Droid Inc whenever I connect my phone to my PC there is a virtual cd-rom drive called 'Verizon Mobile' that wants to launch a website about the V-CAST Media Manager.
Anyone have any idea how to get rid of this? It's an annoyance more than anything but it'd be nice to recover that space as well.

Thank you.
Sorry, I tried searching for it but apparently the phrases I searched for were not a good descriptor of my problem.

im having fun with redeo control server. this allows you to control your window media player from the BA. you can select from your music library make play lists even play video files. im thinking this is one of the most useful gadgets i have found. i think i might be selling my ipod now.

alright so after a weekend at vegas my screen is busted. i cant see a damn thing but i really need to back up my numbers from the phone to the sim. is there a way to do it from the computer or can someone show me blindly how to do it. (i.e. show me the keys to press) important to know that i am using WM 5.0
update: cleared up some language
Try searching for some remote control software that allows you to control your PPC from your PC. I think there are some threads here with recommendation, I remmeber seeing one on the topic of screen capture.
BTW, if you were to sync it with your PC, you ought to have all your contacts on your outlook, which you can sync it back once you have your phone repaired.
i can't find the software. any leads to links would be much greatly appreciated...

Hi. I'm running a TouchFLO 3.0 ROM tp2 from Tmobile. Recently, without reasonable cause, manila stopped launching on soft reset. The ONLY way I can get it to load every time I soft reset is opening file explorer, going to the windows folder [which takes a good 3 minutes to load], and launching manila.exe. I haven't added or removed any programs in over 2 weeks, and it started today. Any one have any ideas besides backing up and hard resetting?
EDIT: Everything's running sluggish too.
EDIT x2: And after manually launching manilla, I'm missing my task manager button in the upper right.
sounds like as good of a reason as any to back up your contacts etc and do a hard reset. Especially if the phones being sluggish
It won't connect through ActiveSync. How do I back up all that stuff?
either use PIM backup or Microsoft MyPhone
Those would both involve me connecting to the device to install the cab. Maybe someone could tell me why all of a sudden I can't connect to the device as well? It's almost like my device has a functionality virus. -.- There's never been a huge problem connecting before, but now it absolutely refuses. I keep getting the "To connect to this device, you need to have ActiveSync 4.5 installed" message, when I blatantly am running 4.5.

Think outside the box...use the phones wireless connection to do it or use bluetooth to connect with activesynch. This is an internet phone after all.

How? I really have no idea.
EDIT: Nevermind. Emailing it to myself. Will it need to be connected to use PIMbackup or MyPhone?
use myphone... it can back up everything you need and stores it online... you can download the cab from the marketplace right on your phone. It uses your windows live account.
That said.. you can also transfer stuff on and off your sd card right to your computer no? By taking the card out and physically putting it in a memory card reader.
Myphone uses the data or wifi connection to back everything up. Pim doesn't just backs it all up to your sd card. Regardless I can only recommend what I myself use which is outlook or myphone and since outlook is a no go since you cant connect it via activsync for some reason I guess myphone is what I recommend.
good luck
Thanks for the help guys. All went well.

Glad it worked out.
Just got my GN (unlocked from Google Play) and trying to figure out this MTP thing, in partifuclar Windows gives a a warning: "Your device might not be able to play or view this file" *every time* I do a file transfer.
How do I transfer my audiobooks/music/movies without getting the warning?
Windows gives you this warning when it assumes your device (phone) can't open a file. For instance it doesn't know that the device, that it thinks is a music player, is actually is your phone and that it is capable of opening a pdf or mobile book or what ever. Just ignore the warning if you know you have the proper software on your phone to open the file.
Yeah I just bought myself a galaxy nexus too last night and was quite surprised with this message, just ignore it mate.
I ignored it and I have to wait for the rest of my life for just 1 file :crying:
ONe thing that happens to me is that when I try to copy a mkv (tried with several different ones), the explorer just crashes on Windows 8. If I change the extension to mp4 It copies just right. Weird.
Good thread
If any body can remove the alert, it would be better.
All android have this annoying alert.

It's windows not android. Ubuntu has no alerts.

I think he meant to say that the same warnings pop up while using multiple android devices.
Windows gives this warning for all MTP devices, unless you are transferring music files.
Is there anyone who has found out how to disable these warnings yet?
No you would have to complain to ms or edit whatever part of windows is necessary.
Some ROMs and some stock phones have an option for a phone to appear as a Media Device, or USB device. You may not get the error if you can tell your phone to not identify as an MTP device (but then you'll lose the ability to easily sync with Media Players)
usb mass storage
If you want connect your device to PC like usb MASS STORAGE, you can download app SG USB Mass Storage Enabler from play store. It should be woks with many smartphones, if not there are similar aplications
Got here from searching on Google and I found an answer on SuperUser.com. You'd have to do some command prompt tomfoolery with DLL files to remove the prompt, or use an application called ShellExView to disable it.
It's all here:

Ive done some searching, and come to the conclusion that something exists that does what I want, but it's either so obscure or so commonly known, that the search terms I'm using won't ever work (phone over usb, control android from pc, use android phone on pc.) Does anyone know of an application I can download that would let me take calls from my pc, over usb?
My searches are pulling up things like media sync tools and trivial sms apps.

Use Google Voice on PC to txt, and Google Talk plugin to make calls on PC. No phones required.
The desire and intent here is to use the phone - I'm well aware of Google Voice and Skype, et al. What I'm wanting to do is to use my existing phone, and make calls over it from my PC. I appreciate the effort, though - I do use Google Voice for my voicemail and for alternate local numbers for my phone.
orrrr, scratch that, I see what you're saying now. http://www.google.com/chat/voice/#utm_campaign=en_US&utm_medium=homepage&utm_source=en_US-gizmo5 - this would probably be the best option since I'm using my usb to tether in the first place. Thanks for the suggestions!
