I've looked around but can't see this topic... hopefully it's not been asked
I'm a Linux user at home- I can do most basic things but I'm not at compile-your-own-kernel and the like yet. I have my Himalaya (an Orange SPV M1000 in this case) and plug it into my cradle, with a USB lead the the PC.
The Linux distro is SuSE 9.2 for reference; plugging in the cradle stops my printer (similarly connected via USB) from working, and USBview won't launch whilst it's plugged in.
So... anyone got any ideas about how to connect the two so I can access each from the other? Possibly even get some kind of Sync program running so I can sync my phone with Kontact?
Thanks

Ever since upgrading to Autosync 3.7.1 I've found that I cannot Autosync after my PC (Thinkpad 600X / Windows 2000 Prof) comes out of hibernation. My T-Mobile PPCPE cradle is connected to the USB on my Thinkpad docking station at the office. Normally when I leave my office I just undock the notebook and then hibernate it. After I work at home I just hibernate it again and then plug it into the docking station when I get to the office and go.
Since Autosync 3.7.1, whenever I do this when I plug the PPCPE into the cradle Autosync does not find the device. Even the "Get Connected" function does not find it even though it scans the COM ports and USB and shows the USB is available (I know the USB is working as I have a desktop scanner connected to USB and it recovers find when I plug in).
If I restart the notbook from power-off everything is fine, just if it starts from hibernate. Anyone seen this behavior and have a solution?

I had the EXACT same problems under 3.7 when using the cradle and my HP laptop on W2K Pro. Was never able to resolve. I've been pretty mobile lately, haven't had the laptop in the dock for a few months, so I do all my synching via IrDA now.
Unfortunately, I was never able to resolve the issue, I'm sure if I was back on my dock, it would still be happening. I am making the switch to XP Pro this week, I'll let you know if that eliminates the problem.
Thanks, appreciate the reply. While it remains a problem, at least it sin't just MY problem
Hi all. I'm a newcomer to this forum, as well as to the "Wallaby"-type phone, so any and all help or suggestions I receive will be very, very much appreciated.
I recently purchased a very used T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone Edition phone from a private party. The seller's ex-husband was/is a Microsoft developer and had bought this phone when it was brand-new, intending to do software development on it, but had put it away in a drawer and had basically forgotten about it. When the seller transferred the phone to me, she was able to supply ALMOST everything that came with it. The one glaring exception was the Pocket PC Companion CD that originally came with the phone when it was new. (Apparently her ex-hubby took it with him).
I actually didn't intend to use the phone portion of this device at all, as I have a newer Windows SmartPhone for that purpose. I had bought it with the intention of downloading some software into it (Microsoft Money, etc.) that will not run on my SmartPhone. However, I soon discovered that in order to do any downloading at all, I must first establish a connection between my laptop PC and the phone, and herein lies the problem.
Because I did not receive the Pocket PC Companion CD, the software that establishes the connection between the laptop and the Pocket PC Phone does not seem to be installed. I DO have ActiveSync 3.8 installed on my laptop for the purpose of sync'ing up my laptop with my Windows SmartPhone. However, ActiveSync 3.8 does not seem to be able to establish a connection to the Pocket PC Phone. Connecting the USB cable from the USB cradle holding the Pocket PC Phone, to the USB port on my laptop, causes the following error message to display on the phone:
"SYNCHRONIZATION ERROR
To synchronize this device, you must install ActiveSync 4.0 or higher on your desktop computer"
I was under the impression that ActiveSync version 3.8 was the latest and most-current version -- unless that version is only for SmartPhones, and not for PocketPC Phones??
Can anyone supply the Pocket PC Companion CD (or the software that came with that CD) that was originally provided by T-Mobile?
And can anyone suggest a source for the version of ActiveSync that is needed for this Pocket PC Phone to be able to sync up with my laptop?
Also, if I do install that ActiveSync version, do I risk accidentally overwriting the version of ActiveSync that is already (correctly) loaded on my laptop for syncing the laptop to my Windows SmartPhone?
The following info may be useful:
Model No.: PW10B1
Platform: PocketPC
IMEI: 350314010270552
ROM Version: 3.04.00 ENG
ROM date: 06/12/02
Radio version: 6.24
Protocol version: 324e4

I'm using active synch 3.8.0 ok.
On my PC I've got "Allow USB connection with this desktop computer" checked in File->connection settings...
Also got in the "Options" dialogue the "Synchronize mobile device clock upon connecting" checked.
After starting active synch it sits in the system tray and grey's itself.
On my XDA I'm running active synch too, and it works a treat.
On XDA run Active Synch, select Tools->Options...
Check "Enable synchro..." and select "'USB"
Also check the "Include PC..." box too.
Select the "ok" button at the top right
Now put your XDA in the cradle...
Active synch should pop-up and spin it's tray icon green spiny thing.
All should be well.
Start Explorer and there should be a "Mobile Device" item in "My Computer"
Good luck...
Else,
Did you try soft reset you XDA (small hole down left) or more extreem (as you will go back to factory setting and loose all data in it) by ard reseting it (very small battery hole down right) ?
I have an issue with my VZW Touch Pro not being recognized by MDC and have torn out what little hair I had left trying to solve it. I know there are numerous threads of this type and I've read every one I can find but my situation is a bit different (aren't they all ).
Basically, when I hook up the TP via USB to my Vista machine MDC doesn't come up. If I launch it manually it comes up, sometimes flashes the "Connecting" message very briefly then goes to "Not Connected" and sits. OK. So why am I baffled and what have I done? Well....
1. If I set the TP to connect as a "Disk Drive" (as opposed to ActiveSync) Vista recognizes it and asks me if I want to explore files and folders, I can see the storage card;
2. In PC to USB I've tried both WITH Advanced Device Configuration enabled and not enabled;
3. I've installed Activesync on another (XP) machine to see if the TP will connect to it and get the same behavior;
4. I've removed the Remote Adapter and USB Synch in Device manager (following the standard MS troubleshooting guide) so that Vista installs the USB driver, just to make sure;
5. I INITIALLY installed MDC on this machine when I was trying an HTC Fuze. At that time MDC worked fine, recognizing the Fuze and asking me what I want to sync, etc.;
6. Since that time I've uninstalled and reinstalled MDC (several times) JUST IN CASE, although it shows NO existing partnerships;
7. I've turned off and actually removed the firewall even though, as I said, MDC worked fine before.
8. On the TP I've set ActiveSync (I'm hooking to an Exchange Server) to sync "Manually" and Windows Live to sync "Manually", JUST IN CASE that was the problem.
The only reason I really even NEED MDC is that I want to use eWallet and need to sync between the PC and Touch Pro.
I've used the TP as a modem for my laptop via Modem Link successfully, but while ML is set to USB the service is Stopped. Would THAT have any affect on this: one thing I've noticed is that when I plug the TP in the PC (sometimes) displays a message to the effect that it's trying to connect to a wireless LAN?????
Sorry for the length of this message but I figure the more info the better and this really has me stumped.
Thanks for any ideas.
if this helps yo in any way here it is.
i tryed to hook up my TP via WMDC on a Toshiba Tecra Laptop, with USB or Bluetooth and in the best case i managed to send files via bluetooth ... and the WMDC does not recognize the device, it installs some drivers for the cable (i think) and does not find any for the device, so ... it does the same thing as for you, tryes to connect for a second and after that it goes on a endless brake ... never connecting
on the other hand, i had no problems with a dell inspiron, with wista, it installed the drivers instantly and got connected immediately. the same with a Win XP dektop PC using activesync ...
i`m beggining to believe that the software is sort of defective on the toshiba. now i just send file from it and us the dell to sync my TP. i gave up on connecting the toshiba.
Pretty sure you have already tried this...but different USB cord maybe?
uncheck the box for advanced network functionality in the USB - PC connection settings

Thank you!! Solved my problem.
This seems to happen a lot... I just replied to another post in regards to this (though they replaced their Touch Pro). Instead of disabled advanced network functionality (which does let you sync), you should try this to repair the error as it has worked on a friend's Pro, as well as mine (I just had to do it 40 minutes ago). And make sure you re-enable advanced network functionality BEFORE doing this:
1 - Hook up phone to computer
2 - On phone, start ICS (Internet Sharing in Start -> Programs)
3 - Select PC Connection "USB" and Network Connection of any type (if Sprint stock ROM, I recommend using "Sprint")
4 - Hit the "Connect" soft-key (bottom left)
If you've never used Internet Sharing on the phone, your computer should install some drivers... Once that is completed, click the Disconnect left soft-key on the phone. Now disconnect the cable from the computer.
Close out ICS or soft-reset the phone.
Once the phone is back up, plug it in - it should work.
I don't know what is getting reset in the phone, but unless I connect with ICS, then ActiveSync will not connect whether I soft-reset or not.
Hi
In the past week or so my HP TouchPad running CM9 has suddenly stopped being browsable in Windows Explorer. The cm_tenderloin device appears in the list of drives, but clicking reveals a white screen. MTP is selected on the Storage > USB computer connection screen.
Curiously, in the same time, my HTC HD7 has stopped syncing with Zune, so I suspect this is a USB related issue - can anyone point me in the right direction?
Try connecting while in webos with your USB if that doesn't work it would sound like there is a problem with the USB socket on your PC have you tried another socket on your PC or a different PC sometimes my laptop has a hissy fit and I have to use a different socket with hard drives etc . I would suggest doing that before worrying that your tablet has faulty socket.

I'm beginning to think that the issue is with Windows 7, tbh. Multiple cables and different ports have been tried, all to no avail. Something has corrupted the OS, I think. No viruses or malware are being detected, so I'm going to fall back on a reinstall (I keep my data off the system drive, so no biggy)
you can always connect over the network and browse everything on your device that way. i like es file explorer. just put the thouchpad in ftp mode then connect to it from the computer. also if you know how to use ./adb connections you can move files to and from the touchpad and browse the entire device that way.
Does anyone have issues with transferring files to a windows PC? I plug my phone in and under USB preferences its grayed out. I've tried the xperia companion and it seems like my device isn't recognized because the option to browse my files is grayed out too.
It happened to me because I was using the usb-c cable that comes with the same phone.
What I did was look for another usb-c cable that I had at home (from my Xperia 5) and when plugging it into Windows 10/11 it recognizes it perfectly and on the phone you put "Allow" and you can transfer files.
Apparently the cable that comes by default in the box with the Xperia 1 Mark III does not support data. Greetings

The cable that came with my Phone (Phone bought from sony partner from official site) wrk for file transfer without problem (under win 10 e win 11).
Maybe different market, different cable bundled in?
Yeah, I also bought it from the official Sony store via Amazon. When I plugged it in and saw that it didn't work for data (or for recovery via Xperia Companion) I started googling and investigating and the same thing happened to several users. Mine is the UK Bundle version.
It seems a normal problem on different phones. Usually, it will be solved when we change an offical USB cable. Or if your computer and your phone are in the same network, you can also try WiFi connecting. A third-party tool like Coolmuster Android Assistant allows us to do that. With its help, we can do that data transfer via WiFi connecting directly.
use adb push/pull commands much better.
I have the same problem in Linux, enabling USB debugging in developer options sometimes solves it. Very flakey however, its 10 years since I had as much trouble connecting a phone to a PC
