    Pedro, just checked the wife's phone and it wouldn't connect either.

    Until I fiddled with it a bit and now it works.

    I tried everything until it worked, these are the last things I tried.


    1. In Usb settings - turn on media player, turn it off again, then turn on Mass Storage.
    2. Next go into Tethering and tick Mobile AP - allow it turn on and when the Mobile AP settings is highlighted turn it off again and exit.
    3. Plug USB cable into computer, then into the phone. The little android fella pops up saying that usb storage is connected.
    4. Bring up the settings screen again and choose Tethering, it is now allowing me to tick the Usb tethering option and all is honky dorey (working for me at least).

    I don't know what I did, I can't say that it will work for you but something I did made it work.


    If all you IT techs are shaking your heads in disbelief spare a thought for all those auto sparkies out there, and we'll not even mention the heart attacks that the mechanics have when they deal with me.

    Go with the gas axe, I don't think the hammer will do to much.
