The Thunderbolt is nice. Nicer if HTC Sync would work with standalone Outlook 2007 running on Vista. I'm using latest version of HTC synch from HTC website(Note: it takes a few hours to download)
I've browsed a bunch of forums looking for a solution, and have:
1. disabled firewall
2. disabled virus protection
3. downloaded lastest HTC sync (installed, deleted, re-installed, repeat, etc)
4. Followed HTC instructions about going to settings-applications-development-usb debugging, then selecting (or deselecting) HTC sync
Tried installing HTC Synch with phone not plugged in, plugged in, etc.
Usually after doing step 4 (above), Vista laptop sees the Thunderbolt and connects for about 3 seconds, and then it goes back to "No device connected" on the Vista PC. In maybe 1 in 50 attempts at connecting, it will connect long enough for me to download the pictures from the phone to the Vista Laptop.
Anyone else get HTC sync working with the Thunderbolt and Outlook 2007?
Thanks,
Doug
p.s. I can't upgrade to Windows 7 on the laptop to test this out, as I have Dell M2010 laptop with 20 inch screen that doesn't have all Win7 drivers available.

It just sits there saying 'Connecting'
I tried the ip address change in Remote-NDIS Host
tried uinstall/reinstall Twice
Tried repair
tried outlook default mail
Tried turning firewalls off
im running XP pro with SP2 , activesync 4 (build 4343)
and wm2005 OS 5.1.1700 (build 14326.0.0.0)
Please help. Im sick of searching...
I upgraded my O2 XDA II tonight and everything went OK except like you my PC just sits there now "Connecting"
I know this may sound kind of strange: I tried disabling my software firewall on my PC (ZoneAlarm) as well as disabling Adware- Adwatch, but the PDA and the PC still wouldn't sync. AS 4 just displayed "Connecting".
I decided to also try disabling my antivirus software (Norton AV) in addition to the other disabled software and "suddenly" I can sync again!. Go figure.
Still cant sync...
Im transfering files via bluetooth until i fix this.
Still searching!
Really weird: I turn on the Norton AV auto-protect = no connection between AS & XDA. Turn off the Norton AV auto-protect = sync. I just spent the last hour bouncing back and forth to insure that Norton was the blockage.
The only thing I can suggest is download ActiveSync 4.0 from Microsoft's website, uninstall current version, reboot PC, install new version.
Mount PDA on cradle...
System will not recognize it again.
Unplug USB cable and plug it again BUT IN ANOTHER USB PORT on PC.
System will detect and install properly.
I hope this works for you as it did for me.

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....)
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.
Fast questin:
A friend has a HTC Touch HD whick he can use as a mobile internet connection for his computer using the 3G in the phone and a USB cable.
Is the possible with the Hero?
If not, would it be possible to make a app for that? I mean, the whole phone is opensource, so it should be possible?
It's called tethering - it's built into Hero, though I believe you have to use HTC Sync on your PC.

To sync it to PC, do i need any software or is it plug and play?
Never acculy synced my hero to my PC since i rl dont need to when i have andorid marketplace
Do i need any software on my computer to sync the Hero?
*woops, doubble post >.<*
Yes hero can be used as a modem, you need to instal HTC Synch on the pc first, then plug phone in and drivers will be installed via htc synch. I find after doing it on a few boxes you need to reboot the pc before the phone will give an IP address to pc at this initial instal. In settings/wireless controls on hero you need to tick mobile network sharing - this becomes available to tick when plugged to pc. Note there is a newer version of HTC Synch on the HTC web site than the one supplied on the hero's memory card - both worked for me.
To Synch - yes you need HTC Synch installed.
If you are using MoDaCo's custom rom you can use an app called Wireless Tether which lets you tether through wifi/bluetooth,so no need for a usb cable.
Wow, thanks for all the answears
cool, tethering over bluetooth
anyone tried this on linux? I start like feeling to flash that rom after all. HTC's ten days take soooo long...

I just wanted to ask the same question. i'm a linux user and wanted to share internet with my laptop.
it was hard to get it working with WM (i never got it working)
If you install the Android SDK you get a tool called "adb" which has this in its -help output:
Code:
networking:
adb ppp <tty> [parameters] - Run PPP over USB.
Note: you should not automatically start a PDP connection.
<tty> refers to the tty for PPP stream. Eg. dev:/dev/omap_csmi_tty1
[parameters] - Eg. defaultroute debug dump local notty usepeerdns
So it might be possible, but I don't know how exactly.
I did thetering over bluetooth and infrared with my touch dual wm device and ubuntu laptop. Worked very nice. I know it is easy over usb, but given the bluetooth support in Android, i doubt it will work over bt.
Hmm, iv'e installed HTC Sync (the version that is on HTC.com/support) but when i try to sync the phone to my laptop my phone says it didnt fint HTC Sync on windows... even though its insalled and opened on my computer...
What to do?

HTC Sync does not allow you to use the Hero as a modem. HTC Sync is used to sync Contacts to Outlook or Windows Address Book! I got this information from the HTC Sync user guide downloaded from the HTC website.
To use the Hero as a modem, you must use PDANet or root your phone and use some other tethering application.
So then there is no way I can use my Hero as a modem?
Since I dont want to root my phone and PDANet is not free(I live in sweden and can not buy apps yet)
Please see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544352. Apparently it works with HTC Sync on Windows and it works with the standard rndis driver on Linux.
The Windows/HTCSync method is also mentioned in the manual that came on the /sdcard of my G2 Touch (chapter 6.7, "Verwendung des Telefons als Modem" (i.e. tethering)). See also the screenshots on http://blog.brightpointuk.co.uk/using-htc-hero-usb-modem.

Wrong I'm afraid! Hero has tethering out of the box and *does* use HTC Sync, albeit just to install NDIS driver. (see http://www.htc.com/uk/faqs.aspx?p_id=283&cat=0&id=108516&f=t )
There is no requirement to install any other tethering app, or root your phone, though you will need to do this if you wish to tether via WiFi or Bluetooth.

did anyone actually succeed in this?
HI,
I still have not been able to tether between my ubuntu laptop and my rooted hero without a cable. I have tried using bluetooth with wifitether and with wifi ad-hoc network, but none work.
Is it even possible to pair a hero with ubuntu?
So everytime that I go to connect my TB to the computer via usb, it freezes my computer up. I have HTC Sync installed. When I connect to my computer, what option should I choose? If I choose a different one, it does not matter, the computer is still frozen. It freezes up the computer to where I have to do a hard restart and its really starting to piss me off.... I also chose the HTC sync option and it searches my computer for it even though I have I installed and running when I connect the USB!!
I am running Windows 7 64-bit.
Help, please!!
Uninstall htc sync and try using the vzw media sync software that's included on the sdcard instead
