First off, I have been having a plethora of problems with Windows Vista, and I might start out by asking if anyone else is having sync problems with Vista.... ever since I upgraded to SP1 RC1 I have been unable to sync.... and then I reverted back the non-sp1 and still can't sync... Everytime I try it installs as Microsoft USB Sync in Device Manager (when advanced network functionality is unchecked) and the Windows Mobile Remote Adapter #3 in Device Manager (when advanced network functionality is checked). No matter what I do, Windows Mobile Device Center will NOT open. I'll connect the phone, and it always just acts as a charger, never any data exchange of any sort. I have gone through all the troubleshooting I can find online, and still have no luck.
Assuming nobody can shed some light as to why Windows Vista sucks, I have another option. I made a backup of everything using SPB Backup of my previous ROM (Stock Sprint) and now I'm on DCD's newest release. It works great, I just want to know how I can get ONLY my contacts and calendar off the backup file. I am able to access the file tree when going into the advanced option. So, what is the file that contains all of the contacts (I assume some sort of xml file or something) and calendar files.
Anyone help would be HIGHLY appreciated.
Thanks!
pim in the main dir of the phone is the file with contacts and recent calls you will have to use total commander or another file manager as the reg file explorer won't overwrite it. and as far as the not connecting on the phone go into settings then connections and on usb to pc try disabling the advanced options that should do the trick.
I have already tried enabling / disabling the advanced functionality in USB to PC.... it still doesn't work....

I had the same issues as you until I was on the road and connected directly with my cable instead of my USB hub. From some reason Vista + USB hub (Belkin) + my 6800 didin't get along. Once I connect directly with the cable, all is well.
You my friend are a star! I've had a touch cruise for a year and no problems at all. Then yesterday I got a Touch HD and it would connect once, then refuse until either/or both HD and PC were rebooted. Took the hub out of the equation and bingo!!!

I have an Advantage x7500. I've installed the WM6 ROM here. My problem is I can't connect to my Advantage via Windows Mobile Device Center on my Vista box or ActiveSync on my XP box. The computer makes the expected sound when the USB connection is made, and in ActiveSync I can explore the device, but that's it. In WMDC, the error message for RapiMgr is "Windows Mobile-based device failed to connect due to communication (0x80072745) failure (see data for failure code)." I've done a lot of searching before I posted this and found a lot of posts (so at least I'm not alone). I've disabled firewalls, AV, anti-spyware, but no change. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled WMDC and ActiveSync. I do notice in Device Manager no Windows Mobile Remote Adapter under the Network Adapters node. Under the Mobile Devices node is HTC USB Sync. Any suggestions would be appreciated as I've been beating my head on wall on this. Thanks.

Thanks, but been there, done that. (I didn't want to waste everyone's time so I did use the search button first)
As I mentioned in my prior message, in Device Manager there is no Windows Mobile Remote Adapter under the Network Adapters node. Do those of you using WM6 have such an entry for that adapter?
.
I have the same problem, but in Vista.
Sync has been working fine, but now suddenly it wont connect.
.
ps: sync on my SPV C500 works perfect. It's only my X7500 that won't connect.

lo and behold.....xman06's solution in the other tread worked for me.
"Try to go on setting connection usbtopc and disable advanced network functionality and ok"
perfect

Thanks, but been there and done that too. (The downside of searching first is that all the usual solutions have been tried)
Tell me, under Device Manager do you have Windows Mobile Remote Adapter under the Network Adapters node? And under the Mobile Devices node do you have HTC USB Sync? I'm missing the former; that may be the issue but I'm not sure not knowing if others have it or not.
I bit the bullet and did a hard reset (too bad that doesn't work on spouses ) and ActiveSync started working again.
Kaiser / TyTN II WMDC Activesync no connection
I have the same issue described above. And no, the solutions given don't work. Not even a hard reset.
I am not sure what the issue is. Any ideas?
Similar problem solved
I had the same problem and went through many steps like those posted in this forum. I'm going to show my steps to solve this problem without hard reset your phone.
1) When the phone is connected, at the phone ActiveSync setting delete the PC profile.
2) Unplug the phone from the PC.
3) Uninstall and then reinstall the ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Center.
4) At phone system setting -> About -> make sure there is a name ID. Without this the PC cannot identify the phone and thus cannot sync.
5) Set the USBtoPC with 'advance network..." enabled.
6) To the extreme, before step 3, go to PC windows\inf and remove infcache.1 (need to add in an administrators account and set the privilage to full control). That may remove old corrupted drivers.
This page was coming up on the top list of google so i'll post my solution here.
I also spent hours trying to find the problem
uninstalled/reinstalled WMDC/Downloaded the latest version etc/Hard reset TYTN II/followed endless google searches,followed the instructions here etc etc.
Similiar to the OP i had windows making the "normal ding dong sounds but no connection happening.
In the finish what fixed my problem was with the device plugged in go to Device Manager on the PC and in "Network Adapters" select "Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter" and right click "Update Driver Software"
That got me back connected.....Hope it helps someone else out
Did it worked? I can't install WMDC without having my Pocket PC conected and when I have it it doesn't install anyway...
hey guys, if you have firewall installed disable it until the connection is made with your computer and phone, then re-enable your firewall.
this seems to be the problem solution for me all the time. Hope it helps.
I have a att 8525 with wm6. My pc has windows xp home edition service pack 2 2002 edition. When I connect phone via cradle upon reboot of the pc I get a message new hardware found it then tries to sync. After this attempt I get a message device not detected so I do the troubleshoot after the trouble shoot it comes up with 2 issues one which really confuses me. I downloaded activesync version 4.5 but here is the message I get below
1 To synchronize email etc with your PC Microsoft Outlook XP or later must be installed
2 Unable to establish a connection between pc an my device. It then gives a link to a guide for this with all sorts of changes to make on the phone etc. I have performed a great deal of them changes enabling and disabling settings they ask for etc but this has not resulted in any change or a connection
My biggest question concerns the first issue mssage I get. 1 unable to synchroniz with my pc because it seems to says Microsoft Outlook Xp or later must be installed. When i went to install the activ sync my windows xp home edition was listed as compatible. So I am very confused here. Do I need to upgrade to the outlook 2007 ( More Money damn ) or is there another way perhaps a lower version software or am I missing something. If it matters i am connected via wifi wireless router which I just installed Any Help will be greatly appreciated, greatly

I couldn't sync after I did my first ROM upgrade and it was an official upgrade from AT&T, thats how I found this place. I would suggest reading through the Hermes WIKI, then looking through the Hermes section, it was a REALLY BIG help to me. Now on to your questions:
You have to have MS Activsync installed on th PC, I would try finding v4.2 as I have been having problems with v4.5 and 4.2 fixed it.
Are you trying to sync with the USB or just with the WiFi connection???? I don't think you can sync via WiFi or Bluetooth.
You only need Outlook 2007 if you use it as your E-mail client (I don't use MS Outlook or MS internet explorer).
Sync Solution!!
I had the same problem. I tried on my 3 pcs & figured out. USB connection is the best for all connection & sync.
Microsoft Outlook XP or later is must to sunc contacts & e-mail. if you dont have those & have Outlook Express you need a program (I forgot the name) to install in your computer & cab in DPA which sync contacts with Outlook Express.
i did following.
For sync connection make sure you have all security disable or you allow main 4 files to communicate. check this troubleshoot for help on allow files for different security programs.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/activesync/default.mspx
once you see device detection click "Explore" on active sync even it is connecting the device..if you see the phone files it means it is connected but somehow not synchronizing.
then try to muck aroung advance USB connection tick & untick. and also connected via The Work & The Internet connections in connection settings.
Hope it helps.

This happens to me when I upgrade to a new ROM, and I am unable to resync via ActiveSync. The first thing I check and gets me back to be able to sync 99% of the time is the USB setting on the phone.
Go to->Settings->Connections->USB to PC->Then UNCHECK "enable advanced network functionality"
That always gets me back to be able to sync again via USB. Hope that helps...(a little late I know....)
Hello all, I have the xv6800, dcd rom 3.3.4 and activesync and internet sharing setup on Windows just fine. However, I have recently gotten a MAC, and I have not been able to get the internet sharing to work via BT or USB. I can understand BT cause I was never able to get it set up on windows either. I don't mind the USB connection, it's alwasy been more stable and a snap to set up with the ROM. However I can't get it working on the MAC. Is there a driver or app that needs to be installed on the mac side? The only think I remember doing on the WIN side is installing the modem driver.
On Mac, I have installed Missing Sync installed and I have been able to attach and sync my winmo phone without issue, so I know I have connection. but I cannot get the internet sharing to work. I checked out the verizon site and they state that they do not make a modem driver for the mac os.
I should also mention that I have winXP set up on the mac thru VMware, but I have been unsuccessful getting this to work the way my original windows laptop is setup. I dont want to set it up that way anyway if I can avoid it.
I am curious if anyone has this working via USB?? I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere. I couldn't find anything related and certainly not specific to this ROM.
I did find this, http://www.keithtastic.com/post/3997...-to-sprint-htc, but it states to buy an app called USB Modem program from www.mobile-stream.com. but wouldnt the ISC app on the dcd rom provid the same functionality?
Thanks for any/all help

then just use internet sharing form the phone as normal?
no offense but that didnt help at all. I can connect my phone via BT themac sees it, but all I can do is browse device. I need to set up a connection with my phone to the mac and get online via my phone. I dont careif its bluetooth or not. I have the new macbook btw, if it matters
goon55: Like you, I always used a VM workaround to tether back when I had a Mac. I haven't tried this, but I've heard Syncmate allows Internet Sharing on Mac systems. Good luck!
I have no issues connecting my macbook for my 6800.
After you set it up like the other poster told you to, you should have a phone icon next to the bluetooth icon at the top right of the screen. click the phone icon then "connect bluetooth".

also when setting up the BT relationship, make sure you select the network services (i believe, there are one or two services you can check)...on the phone make sure you start BT and internet sharing (with BT selected) and when you go to the BT menu on the mac, your phone name should be under "devices", expand your phone name and select connect to network.
just trying to clarify a bit.
i had it
i had bt working for a bit and then was disconnected abruptly.
after deleting the profiles of the pairings on both the titan and the mac, it still wont share the connection although the phone will be connected in bt system prefrence pane, (where you select devices).
when it worked, i would select the phone in the device select, and underneath clicking on the gear to a menu option to 'connect to network'
it worked that wayfor 3 mins.
also, when i configure the device, if i set the phone to internet share while the mac is discovering the services, i get two options to select instead of just one:
access the internet
use device as network port.
edit: got it, apple talk active
best software you can use is http://www.wmwifirouter.com/ it works over BT or wifi and uses your phone's regular data access address which means you don't get tethering charges. NOTE I use the free version, and I have tried the tiral and although it does work, my mogul does not seem to like it and has little quirks after I install it (wifi turns on when I reset even if the switch is off, I don't why but its there).
Hi everyone, I've been trying to use my Windows Mobile phone as a modem for the Macbook, but so far I only see people being able to connect via BT. Problem with that for me is that BT drains both my laptop and phone battery quicker, so I'm trying to find a solution to connect via USB instead. Has anyone been able to surf on their Mac using their Windows Mobile phone as a modem via USB cable?
What you want is Mobile Stream USB Modem for Windows. Windows here being Windows Mobile, it works with my Mac.
Once you set it up, your phone is seen as a USB Modem and you dial from the Mac to this port. There is a free trial, take time to test it, read the forums, I had some initial issues to get it work right, but now it is good, I ended up purchasing it.
Tried BT sharing too, but too instable and drops. Tried the WiFi sharing, but eats battery...
Only downside: as you dial the data modem, it will fail if it is already in use (background email checking on your phone...). I have to disconnect the data connection on the phone to be able to dial from the Mac, otherwise it reports Port Busy.
Thanks for the recommendation, will try it out. Any other solutions in the meantime to connect and share the Internet connection from my Windows Mobile phone to Mac via USB?
I had the same problem, and tried everything recommended in the thread - no dice. I ended up just installing WMWifiRouter and that works like a champ.

This is for cingular, but I'm sure this can be attempted no matter what the provider.
I've been looking for a solution as well, and have yet to find one for USB Internet Sharing on a Mac. I currently just use Bluetooth with an external charger on the phone and laptop since it'll eat the battery of both quickly.
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.
i am really tired from a problem with my hd2 i can‘t connect my hd2 with pc (( usb cable )) i did every thing and i couldnt recognize it i am really desperate can anybody help ?
Might
help if you mention what Windows/system you are running on your pc
the operation system is windows 7
Do
you have the Windows Mobile Device Center installed?
Have you tried a Disk Drive connection, under connections USB to PC?
I do know for a fact some people simply solved the problem just by using another USB port...
Might be worthwhile checking your firewall too, I believe some can block the active sync connection

thank you for your post i did everything you wrote the problem still my hd2 doesnt recognize to my pc i am planning to sell my phone because og this
Havent used WP7 yet, but in WM6.x there is something in Settings for USB connection - this gives you the ability to check a box that says (something like) Fast Outlook connection. If you uncheck this you will probably find that your HTC connects beautifully. So, again, trawl through your setup/settings and look for something that talks to USB connection, or PC Synch.
Hope this helps.
Uninstall all versions of Windows Mobile Device Centre then reboot, just install the latest update from of WMDC from Microsoft and plug your HD2 in.
It worked for me and I'd tried everything else.

I'm having the same problem also, but I am using Windows Vista. I tried just about everything the forum mentions its pretty frustrating. I've tried uninstalling and installing WMDC and tried different USB ports, also tried selecting a few of the different settings on the phone in the USB to PC. Does anyone know what possibly I am missing or not doing correctly?

I number of my friends had the same problem concerning the connection and when they did the above it fixed the problem. I suggest everyone give it a go.
Still having problems with this... I've uninstalled rebooted and installed and reboot WMDC and also messed with all the settings on USB to PC and tried every single USB port on my computer. I am running Windows Vista 64 bit version and still not having any luck getting this phone to connect via USB. Anyone have any ideas?
