Wait you trying to connect to a tethered WI-FI?

No but I can connect with pc and phone both wifi network to access net from each other but without enabling any hotspot feature in pc and mobile I tried to use the direct connect like we usually do to connect two pc's to share files and folders but it's not working.

@Topgear try this app: *play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smarterdroid.wififiletransfer&hl=en

I'm using it to transfer apps etc both from PC and phone & vice versa.

thanks guys - I've WiFi File Manager Free installed but never tried it and now I know about Airdroid and Wifi File Transfer free - will try both but I was looking for sharing files between pc and android phone without any kind of 3rd party apps looks like it's not possible. So far I'm running a FTP server on Android phone to upload and download files to/from pc ;-)

is there a way to delete the conversation while keeping certain messages( like a message lock in my old nokia phone)?
Any messaging app that has this feature?

im answering myself here. Chompsms works for me without the extra mind twisting features of GoSMS.

Nice thread...

I have HTC One V and will try to root it for the 1st time.
so I read that 1st bootloader needs to be unlocked and then root

but I'm confused which method to use as I found these two?

Finally rooted my Samsung GT-S6012 [ Galaxy Music Duos ] using this method : Source

now samsung promised to release JB update for GT-S6012 but released for upto 6010 model so far but with the device rooted and with so many apps support now [ which needs root access ] I don't care about JB anymore ;-)
