Help LG On-Screen Phone Issue

[roakes]

Hey all,

Loving my nice shiny new O2X but having some problems using the LG On-Screen Phone software, the one that lets you control your phone from your PC. I have it all installed and followed the user guide but when I attempt to connect to the phone after putting the password in (still 0000 as default), I press next to connect and can see that it causes the phone to wake up and a screen icon appear in its notification bar but then I get an error on the software saying "An error occurred while creating the OSP window after downloading the skin file from the mobile phone" this messages times out then it shows "Failed to connect to phone" and I'm back to the password screen.

Obviously some communication must be occurring for the phone to wake up and try to start the appropriate app but it just isn't working.

So far I have tried it with USB debugging on and off and have also tried reinstalling the USB drivers on the PC, no luck. Even tried it on 3 different PCs.

Has anyone else experienced this or have any advice?

Thanks

Russ

I stumbled across this on android.modaco.com which allowed me to get OSP to work. Hope it helps someone else.

"Woohooo got it working!

I had to go to /system/media and copy off the file osp_skin_p990.zip to my PC and extract it to the "LG OSP\Phone_skin\P990" folder in My Documents and then it worked!

So it looks like the program was unable to automatically download and extract this file for some reason, just needed a little manual intervention. Strange that it happened on 3 PCs though, which would suggest that maybe the file is located somewhere unexpected on my handset?"
