[android-developers] Re: Not able to connect device using adb -d shell command from vista

Actually I have got my new dev phone today. I need to connect wifi to
start up with dev phone as I dont have any data card.
So I was planning to use my lan wifi connection.

the "ls" shows the list from the phone device.
then I was intending to give "am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -
n
com.android.settings/.Settings" command which would enable me to set a
screen for wifi connection.

Basically I was following the previous solution of the same problem
faced by other people.

You don't need to have a data plan. You just have to setup an Internet
connection - through your telephony provider or through WiFi. For the
first one you need a data plan, for the second you have to use "adb
shell" from SDK, to run a setup for WiFi connection. When you log on
to a shell, you have type "am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n
com.android.settings/.Settings". This will show you connection
options. Save it and you can now register to your Google account.

I dont know where I am going wrong. After I give the "am start.."
command on the window cmd and I dont find next step to do. Because no
screen comes up.
If you can tell me any solution would really be helpful.

Thanks in Advance,
adag
