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.

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....)
Hi,
I got hold of my T mobile G2 a week ago and had being using WM 6.1 till now it looked to me promising choice but had following issues, please help me (dont mind paid software as well) :-
1) How to Sync Exchange mails (even if its through USB connection to pc its fine)? have used even "Touch Down" trail version cant get even mail from USB synchronization. Have being successful in syncing using HTC sync only calender and contacts.
Have used WM 6.1 smartphone active syn could do without any issues.
2) Wifi wireless connectivity with eapfast(eapGtc) any software ?
3) Connect to Internet from HTC hero using PC Internet connectivity using USB data cable again was possible in WM 6.1 without issues.
4) Offline maps for google ? though happy with dapdroyd but does not give direction for point a to b only present location somehow limiting the use of maps.
Regards
VK
For offline maps you may also want to take a look at Maverick.
Solutions
1) How to Sync Exchange mails # Much tweak Touch down worked and is a blessing just it dont update all folders within inbox.
2) Wifi wireless connectivity with eapfast(eapGtc) any software # This is already there by deafult and to much of surprise "Enterprise ready" Kudos to android.
3) Connect to Internet from HTC hero using PC Internet connectivity using USB data cable # This is still a problem not sure if anyone got this working
4) Offline maps for google ? # have to stick to dapdroyd for timing as no better alternative till now.
Have had some problem when connecting to the pc using USB or Bluetooth. On the phone itself the connection goes fine all the way (i even manage to download 200mb or 400mb files with opera)
On the computer i also have one USB 3g modem witch works fine and that was confirmed by my ISP.
Have tried Toshiba support to see what was their point, and, although they reply very fast (under one day) the messages are not very conclusive. i leave then have to see what you guys think
"thank you for contacting us again.
You need Windows Mobile Device Centre in order to have the drivers installed and make sure Windows Mobile Device Centre displays ‘Connected’ status. As soon as you have checked this, disconnect the device from the PC, select ‘disk drive mode’ as connection type, re-connect the device to the PC and select ‘Internet Sharing’ within Menu. Then tap on ‘Connect’ at the very bottom of the screen.
We trust that this resolves your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if required.

No it doesn't mean you are the slave of Mobile Device center.
They want you to connect to Mob Device Center once, and then download the correct drivers needed for your phone. All you have to do is wait till it says 'Connected' which means that your phone has all the necessary drivers.
I am presuming the rest of the steps are straightforward on your device - so next time you connect device, follow the steps above and it should work according to their reply!
OK, i have seen one Unidentified Device when i connect the phone with usb mode . The windows fails to install it but the connection goes ok the same way (until it fails a bit later).
Anyway, another thing i noticed is, the USB 3g Modem i have Hits the 3.2 Mbit whitch is its maximun speed , but the phone fails to even reach its 7.2.... will it be because of the missing driver? (whitch i have no clue how o install) Is this the same procedure for any phone that uses USB (Android , IOS) needs drivers to work properly?
Thank you

Can I ask if you have installed Windows Device Center or Active Sync using a CD that comes with TG01 or not?
I have installed from the Microsoft website, Windows mobile device center.
Have now tried the same on another computer with Windows XP (Active Sync), and the problem is the same as with windows7 (and Ubuntu) where i have already tried.
I am using one Toshiba OFFICIAL Rom, with USB the connections takes a bit more to set up but normally lasts more time connected, with bluetooth, it connects very fast but when it breaks, the PHone crashed completely and the only way to continue is reset..
Want to know if anyone has similar issue
thanks
Have had the following reply after trying to contact toshiba Aggain
"It is normal for the connection to be slower trough the Internet sharing than your normal computer Internet connection. Please note that the phone has different technical specification than your PC has. Also, the Internet connection that you share has different technical specification than the one you get from your home broadband.
We trust that this resolves your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if required. #
Can someone explain what does this actually mean? The TG01 Cant be used as a 3G Usb Modem ?
thanks
Anybody used or is using the TG01 as a Data modem for the pc?
Hi,
I have an unbranded HTC Titan here in the UK, it's on an Orange business contract (now EE). Internet Sharing has always worked on it and I use it a lot for work so it's an essential feature.
Last week in the space of about 5 minutes my phone went from working perfectly to being unusable and being unable to boot. A quick Google around and I decided to do a Factory Reset. This fixed the issue but ever since I've not been able to enable Internet Sharing, I get the dreaded 'Connection not shared - There’s no mobile data connection to share at the moment. Check your mobile settings and signal, and try again.' message.
I got Orange to send a settings update via text to my phone but it didn't make any difference. I tried using a different SIM from a colleagues Android phone which is definitely able to use tethering but that did the same too.
Can anybody suggest how I get Internet Sharing working again please? Thanks.
+1 lost Internet Sharing
Hi,
i've lost Internet Sharing too after the official last update Orange Fr and HTC on my official stock rom.
Orange and Htc can't explain solution.
Internet Sharing work fine with custom, but ever since I've not been able to enable connexion Usb with Zune .
I'm searching solution !!
slt
I have tried to connect my desire x to the internet from my pc with the internet pass through feature. I have installed HTC Sync (which is a terrible application!!!)
Whenever i connect my phone in the internet pass through mode, a new unidentified public network appears in the notification area which does not have access to the internet.
HTC Sync never detects my device whatsoever.
I have seen in Task Manager that the passthruserver service and the syncmanager service is running fine. Even in Device Manager, i see the network adapter of HTC running properly. Even after the phone gets connected, i cannot browse the net from my phone.
Does anyone have any idea how to solve the problem?
Hello
I had a similar issue after upgrading to the official 4.1.1 update on my one X. before updating I was able to have this feature working very
good. For your knowledge I have searched on many forums for solutions and tried many of them but no results although I have installed the latest version of HTC Sync manager but did solve the problem.
Please need help in this issue if you can find anything let me know.
Good Luck
