Here's what's happening.Phone is locked. Hitting the power button brings up the "slide to unlock" screen, and if you slide, you get the keypad asking for the pin to unlock the phone. OK, that's normal. But if you plug in the USB--either with the keypad displayed, the "slide to unlock" screen displayed, or the phone screen timed out and off--you get the green android "turn on USB storage" screen. Hitting the button connects the phone to the PC, even thought you'd still need to enter the pin to use the phone otherwise. So whatever is "locked" on the phone is accessible through the PC.'TwinTurbo said:

Be careful with this. The phone companies watch for non-mobile user agent strings (at least, that is the easiest way) or huge data overages, and will automatically enable the hotspot feature and charge you for it.

I put this in the Demonoid thread, but Ill put it here because its not just for using demonoid. For those that download torrents via the uTorrent client on your PC, this app will be useful.
I just downloaded and installed the uTorrent Remote app on my Android phone, and turned on Remote Access option in uTorrent on my laptop. Now, I can go to a torrent site (I use Demonoid) in my mobile browser on my phone, search and find whatever I want, and when I click DOWNLOAD TORRENT, it automatically starts downloading with uTorrent on my laptop at home. The app also lets you manage all files in uTorrent on the remote PC, so you can see file progress, add or remove files, etc. Of course, your PC has to be turned on and uTorrent open in order to do this while youre not at home.
So, if Im out and about somewhere and someone recommends a movie, music, or whatever, I can use my phone to find it on Demonoid, click DOWNLOAD and it will be waiting for me on my laptop when I get home. Too cool.
According to the uTorrent Remote page, "Completed downloads can even be shifted directly back to your Android device for local playback.", but I havent been able to figure this out yet. I keep getting an error, I think its because theres a limited number of video formats that can be played on the phone. HOWEVER, you could use a Remote Desktop app to watch videos on your phone that are stored on your PC.
This next app is cool for those that hook their PC up to their TV to watch movies, etc.
Gmote remote control app:
Also downloaded Gmote to my phone, which turns my phone into a remote control that lets me control media files on my laptop from my phone via Wifi. So when my laptop is connected to my TV for watching movies, etc, I can now pause, rewind, start and stop those files from my couch instead of having to get up to use the laptop keyboard. Also works vice-versa, so i can play media files from my PC on my phone (all within Wifi range only).
It can also be used for music files, so you can control and play music on your PC or laptop from your phone.
Enjoy!

I've read that if you have Verizon there is an app called Verizon Messaging that allows for it. But apparently it's a really ugly, slow and not intuitive.handcentstill can't replay to all on this

I think I got this group message thing working on Handcent, GoSMS Pro and the stock app on my GS3. I'm still beta testing because I'm not sure how it happened. FWIW I'm running ICS.
GoSMS - Settings > Advanced > Send Settings > Check "MMS Group Chat"
Handcent - Settings > Application Settings > Check "Thread group conversation" (all the way at the bottom....might have to check "Default Messaging application ALL" at the top as well)
Stock app - Not sure. I think one or a combination of the above did it.
GoSMS - Settings > Advanced > Send Settings > Check "MMS Group Chat"

I never had trouble with handcent and that's not checked. I just use the batch mode. I'll set that and see if there is a difference.

I did that but I get an text, I have to download it, then it goes to the group text thread. What am I missing here. I had GoSMS but never could figure that out.

Try going to the stock app settings. There should be an option for "MMS Auto-Retrieve" or something similar. That should at least eliminate having to hit the download button.Also, let me know if you get 2 notifications with Handcent. I'm using GoSMS because I like the format better, but with the group text, I get one notification from St. Louis Bob and then another when it moves it to the group thread. I think that's a limitation because it is a 3rd party app as opposed to being handled by the OS.I did that but I get an text, I have to download it, then it goes to the group text thread.

Do you do that by turning off auto retrieve? I don't see a way to actually disable it.Disable the stock appExactly what is happening. Trying the auto retrieve.Try going to the stock app settings.

Not sure which phone/android you are using.Manage Apps > Text Messaging > Disable. Then you need to enable all SMS/MMS in Handcent or whatever app you are using. That will remove it completely from being usedDo you do that by turning off auto retrieve? I don't see a way to actually disable it.Disable the stock appExactly what is happening.

OR
Turn of Auot-retrieve and notifications.
I usually disable mine but that could affect other things but so far I haven't had an issue

i would like to install the NES emulator... and i have a lot of the .roms on my computerbut how do you control it without a controller?Also, I have an NES and SNES emulator installed, that provides many many free games

They all have touchscreen controls, but many also allow you to tether a bluetooth controller (PS3, Wii).i would like to install the NES emulator... and i have a lot of the .roms on my computerAlso, I have an NES and SNES emulator installed, that provides many many free games

So apparantly iOS has some proprietary function where if it's users use a certain app to send messages to a group, only the iphone users can see this. Since most of my friends have iphones, this is causing much aggrivation in my life. As much as I hate to do it, I'm going to give in...this is the biggest reason why. #### apple, but they have all the leverage

I have had success with both goSMS and handcent. It isn't perfect but it does work.Edit, I see what your saying now. That sucks balls. Hope my gbs s don't migrate to that app

Apparently, theres a setting in GoSMSpro that you have to set to MMS to get it to do what youre looking for. Check out this link, it may help you:http://forums.androidcentral.com/verizon-htc-thunderbolt-forums/147189-how-group-text.htmlIts a 3 page thread, and on page 3 the user "gilbralter" says "GoSMS does support this function. I use it all the time to participate in group text conversations with friends on iphones."I dont use GoSMS anymore so I cant go in the settings and see what theyre talking about, but maybe this will help you. Worth a look.eta: from another thread, Im not sure if this is the same thing as in the above link, but its osmething else to try:FYI all: I've been using GoSMS and it works fine.What you need to do:Open GoSms,Settings,Advanced,Send settings,Check the Group Chat option.Enjoy texting with Android and iPhone users in the same group thread. Best part, they see it in the same thread as well. So when they reply, you all see it together.

Yeah, I haven't seen a work around for the double notification yet, but at least you've got the reply to all/group thread thing working for now.This is talked about a bit above. Seems to work ok except the double notification. Still haven't figured that part out
