Recently a strange problem has developed, I cannot explore my phones data when connected through activesync. I have tried right clicking the activesync icon, and selecting explore, and also doing it through my computer. Neither method works, it just sits there for a while then, says "crititcal communication services have failed to start, try resetting the mobile device and connect again"
I have soft and hard reset, still won't work
But the strange thing is, it will still sync data from my pc, and I can still install programs that use an installer. :?
Anyone got any ideas ? its a right pain not being able to browse my phone to copy files.
Oh, I have also tried re-installing Activesync 3.7 still no joy! :roll:

Usually this problem turns out to be caused by a firewall. Do you have one?
Try turning your firwall off then explore.
Somewhere on this site there are settings to allow you to explore through the firewall.
Thanks Joe_PDA
I did alter my firewall settings the other day, it didn't even occur to me to try turning it off
Works fine now 8)

Hello all,
I got a problem when synching to my computer. I install activesynch 4.5 on windows XP and then i connect my usb wire to my pc to my MDA vario 4.
Problem is, the phone gets recognized by my pc and I can open the folders. But I am logged in the active sync as guest. I googled for this problem, but everywhere it says I should get a wizard when I connect to the sync program for the first time, but with me it does not :S.
I have tried reinstalling, but no success either.
Can someone assist me with this matter? I would really like to try a new ROM
Thanks and regards,
Are you sure u don't get the wizard?? Sometimes you have to Ctrl+Esc so it can pop up back to the front
Hi,
Yes I am sure unfortunately.
It is really weird.
Hope to see some usefull tips.
Regards,
Every time I have had issues with Active sync, I would just go download it again reinstall it, I wouldn't even bother uninstalling it and it would always mysteriously work...

Hi
Did you try to configure active sync on you phone?!
One time it didn't want to sync yet, then i did a hard reset and all works like a charm... Maybe you installed smething bad like i did...
You can create a backup with Sprite Backup http://www.htc.com/fr/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=133&cat=3&dl_id=19
It creates a backup of everything you want, even settings and messages and make an executable that you can launch after hard resetting
Give it a try
Check your device-id?

I have recently updated to WM6.1 for the startrek, and now i cant connect to activesync 4.5 on my Windows XP SP3 computer. I have googled and searched this site, and nothing works. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do?
activesync
uninstall activesync from your pc,
make sure you delete any partnerships on your phone,
reinstall activesync and it should connect.

how do i delete all partnerships on my phone?
You need Activesync 4.5 for it to work on Windows Mobile 6, you can download it free from Microsoft.

Edit: Sorry, should have read the post more clearly.
ive uninstalled activesync 4.5, deleted the partnership off my phone, soft reset my device and my computer, re-installed activesync 4.5, and it still wont connect.
settings
Not sure what the problem is if that did not work, only other thing I can think of is to make sure you have the "allow usb connections" box checked in activesyncs connection settings.
p.s. to delete a partnership, you go to the activesync setting on the phone.
well, i even flashed my phone back to the cingular 3125 official rom and it still wont connect. oh well, i have figured out how to flash my phone without a usb connection (using my MicroSD card). so i guess that will work.
Guys ran in a weird prob....after upgrading to 2.2 via kies my pc cant detect my phone. When i connect to usb the phone recognises the connection and i am able to mount the storages also in my phone but my pc is not able to detect any drive....please help....cant do anything.
have you enabled usb debugging?
settings/applications/usb settings
worth a try

Try re-installing the device drivers on your pc.

Did you try a different usb port as well? I've never used kies, but its my understanding it comes with its own set of drivers. Did you install those? If not, give it a try. How its done though, I wouldn't know off the top of my head. On the other hand if you did install them, uninstall kies and/or the drivers, and other ones if you have them, reboot, and reinstall the drivers you knew to work the last time. Also try a different computer if you have access to one, and see if it works.
Edit: I just read through the thread again after having my morning coffee, and didn't see one item in particular mentioned. In your settings - applications - usb settings, are you set to mass storage mode?
Set usb settings to mass storage and tried but no luck

Phone Mounting
Not sure what ROM you are using but I had a similar issue. With stock Vibrant the phone would mount as two drives in both Windows and SUSE - no problems. After installing the Nero V5 ROM the other day I couldn't get the phone to mount as a drive in either SUSE or Windows. Both OSs could see the phone since tethering worked. After much searching in a few forums I couldn't get a clear answer about what was going on.
Turns out that in addition to the normal use of USB debugging mode I now had to turn on USB storage in the notification area. It always turned on automatically before and when plugging in a USB cable the notification said USB was connected but the drives weren't being automatically mounted. I think it is because the Nero ROM has built in tethering and you have to specifically select either tether of USSB mount after the cable is plugged in. I think this extra step that wasn't needed before (because tether wasn't a system option) is what is causing some of the problems. Just a guess but one that worked for me.
Even after selecting mass storage from the notification bar the drives are not appearing.
I am on stock froyo. Haven't been able to try in a different pc, will let u guys know after trying in a seperate pc.

This worked for me and it has worked do far.... go to settings, applications, USB settings, and enable Ask on connection.. then it asks select Kies... it usually took a couple of times but it always worked for me.
I had to go back to an older version of Kies to make it connect. Allow it to update the phone's firmware but not update Kies.

Guys nothing seems to be working for me, tried ask on connection but nothing is working. The phone can recognize the pc but the pc isn't.
When I go to device manager nothing is recognized in my usb port.

Try reloading Kies 1.5.3.10092_2 and be sure not to allow it to update itself automatically. This is the only way I have been able to get it to work with my Galaxy S (while running factory 2.1, rooted).
I just upgraded to the standard 2.2 (haven't rerooted yet) but haven't yet upgraded to a newer version of Kies to see if these changes to the phone will have any effect on this connection problem. Just like you, the phone seems to be detecting the connection properly, just Kies won't finish connecting.
DONT ENABLE OPTION ASK ON CONNECTION POUT IT ON MASS STORAGE , IF THIS DIDNT HELP AND YOU ARE NOT ON STOCK LAUNCHER LIKE TOUCH WIZ .....REINSTALL TOUCHWIZ AND RUN IT AS DEFAULT should help .
and if u are on 2.1 eclair u need touchwiz back to make yoooour phone discoverable by kies . hey .

I upgraded via kies only, the pc detected the phone that time without any hitch. After the upgrade I am having this issue.
How to reinstall touchwiz?

Guys found the solution at last. There were two "pmp.usb.ini" files, one in phone sd and another in external sd. Just deleted them and tried to connect....voila...my pc can recognize my phone again.

suddenly i lost the usb connect with the pc. i cant use the usb mass storage. but previously there was no problem at all. now when i want to use the usb mass storage. i click "connect storage to pc" then plug in the usb cable. but after that nothing happened. the phone still showing "connect storage to pc". then i clicked it. it tells me to remove the cable... or just charging the phone. any advise on it? thank you so much.
PS. i am in vallianrom 2.4.2
This is so obvious that I'm sure you've already done it, but have you restarted your PC? If so, try it in a different USB port to rule out whether it's the PC or not.

i have tried to reboot my pc and my phone. tried on different usb port and even other pc. none of them can recognize my phone. very weird
I find in such cases a total removal of USB devices on that port followed by a removal of all Kies folders registry entries etc then reinstall works .

If it doesn't work on other PCs then it's more likely it's the phone that's the problem. If you have CWM or Titanium then I'd recommend doing a backup and doing a hard reset, just to see if it works after that.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

i have wiped out everything and install the rom again but still couldnt get it done.
Hi m8, I hate to say it, but I'm afraid that if by trying with another pc, the phone does not connect, you'll have to factory reset it. I had a similar problem and that was the only solution for me.

try:
settings - applications - development - untick usb debugging retick it and try again.
It's more likely to be a problem on your phone's usb...
I had this problem on my X10 and it would only charge but never connect to mass storage... The only solution was to send it to be serviced...
Meanwhile a good solution to transfer files to your phone is to use any wireless sync app.. Like sugarsync, dropbox or Awesome Drop.
I strongly recommend using Awesome Drop for small files... Just download the app on your phone, go to their website on your pc and simply drop the file on the designed space and it will be synced with ur phone...
Very fast and easy... I never connect my phone to my PC again for file transfer...
I wouldn't use it for large file transfers though... Even though I have successfully transfered a ROM (250mb), some people had problems transfering large files through Awesome Drop... I recommend dropbox or sugarsync for those...
