USB Problems

I occasionally see an error message when HotSync starts up
Question:
that says that Com port X is not available / or the Com port setting
changes when I plug the i500's USB port into my system.
There are additional USB drivers that were installed when you
Answer:
went through the setup from the i500 distribution CD for the Samsung
USB Composite Device and the Samsung CDMA modem. These drivers
are not actually used during HotSync operations. As with all USB TAPI
Com port drivers, the Com number being used will change if you plug
the cable into a different physical USB port on many systems and laptops.
Additionally, if you have other Palm OS
devices with USB-to-Serial converters like the Samsung SPH-i500 or the
Palm USB Connect device you must maintain the "Local Serial" checked
in order to sync these devices. The i500 is a native mode USB device, you
MUST have "Local USB" checked to avoid problems during HotSync
operations. We recommend that you leave the "Local Serial" entry
UNCHECKED, unless you are actively syncing one of your other devices. If
you see any error messages regarding Com port availability from
HotSync, just hit the "OK" button. As long as the "Local USB" setting is
checked, you will HotSync without problem.
