[Q] Bluetooth to PC(Win7) - HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I don't usually pair my PC and Aria. The truth is the last time I did was when I was running a stock HTC Sense Rom, and had all the HTC Sync crap installed. Then my win7 laptop picked up the phone no probs and presented me with all the different bluetooth services.
I'd like to pair it again but this time I'm a fresh install of win7 that has never had HTC software installed and the Aria is running CM7 nightly82. When I try to pair it the Win7 system sees the device. Then the Aria prompts me for the password but doesn't appear to pair or doesn't identify the device 100% correctly, and doesn't have the drivers.
Do I have to install the HTC Sync software or is there some other way?
Much thanks

I would suggest installing the HTC Sync software to get the drivers, then try pairing again.

upgraded wm2003se, lost BT activesync

I upgraded to wm2003se, then lost bluetooth to activesync functionality. xda and pc can find / pair but no sync, no response at all. used to work previous to the upgrade and cradle syncs fine. anyone?
happened to me as well but what i did was uninstalled both the sctivesync and bluetooth software in my laptop. resinstalled a.s. again and created a new sync using the cradle. rebooted my pc and my xda; reinstalled my bt software in the laptop, rebonded and from there bt-sync worked again.
hope that helps

HI baboyako
i also face thats problem,,,
Robson i did thats but not works for i use windows xp sp2 so hlep again
ah, the windows xp sp2 thingee again even before i started using bt-activesync i noticed that i could only go as far as bonding the laptop and xda via bt. i noticed that i couldn't get them to sync despite numerous attempts and install-uninstall bouts. i did some reading in the internet and found out that sp2 was not really "compatible" with the software i was trying to use; in this case the bt widcom. i did come across this website and the chap there uninstalled sp2 and downgraded to sp1. so i did the same; i downloaded the sp1 package, uninstalled sp2 on my laptop, reboot, installed sp1, reboot, and went to the process of reinstalling my bt and activesycn software. whew. quiete a chore that one. bt-activesync worked afterwards. when i upgraded to wm2003 se; i had the same problems mentioned by baboyako...which led me to uninstalling and reinstalling my bt and a.s software. lunch time in an hour...could use a beer!
cheers
One thing though: it worked ONCE. I mean, I've been having that bt-activesync sp2 problem but just ONCE, it synced! couldn't get to do it again though...

Sync your Startrek and Vista

A solution may be coming. Sync your data with Vista is still a problem. I installed Windows 7 (beta) and I can sync my Startrek now. It seems that windows 7 is looking for new drivers, which Vista didn't do.
I hope that we can do it with Vista in the future.
Next: I will try to update with win7
That's wierd, I'm using Win7 as well (build 7000) but I can't get it to detect my 3125 for jack.
It didn't work the first time, it did the second time. Win7 started to look for a new driver itself.

That's weird, mine keeps calling it "Unknown Device" and won't let me look for drivers, even with the OEM CD in the slot. I'll just have to keep using my XP work laptop.
windows update?
im on win7 build 7000 and everything works just fine...
i think u need to be connected to the internet so that windows can download the WMDC and the phone driver...
try doing a windows update while ur phone is plugged in...
may pay to try a different usb port on your machine...
i was having problems like this when i was on vista... switching usb ports made vista detect my phone...
Hi,
Mine syncs with Vista without any trouble. I have a Polaris and a Startrek that I interchange, both just plug in and sync.
M
Just an update, mines is working now. For some reason all I needed to do was reset my laptop with my Trek plugged in. It automatically installed the updated drivers. I'm good now.
Sync
My device syncs with Vista (Outlook 2007) easily on my lap top. But doesnot sync prperly with Vista or XP on in my home system.
If I delete and add new PC in device and sync with home then it doesnot sync with laptop.
There seems to be a problem. It syncs with only with one system

I am also having a similar problem. I read that the problem of syncing with two computers was supposed to be fixed in AKU 1.2, which appears to only be available in the ROM by Pampooh (AKU 1.3.6?)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=483950
I have not had a chance to try this ROM yet to see if it does fix this problem, but it may be worth looking into. If you are not using Pampooh's ROM and do try it out, please post your results.
I have the same problem.

[Q] HTC hero isn't recognised by my computer HELP!!

a had a htc desire z but the thing had to go back to factory for a problem. I had my old htc hero and used it for a week. but since yesterday I can't use him with my computer anymore.
When I connect to my PC my hero goes into charging himself, but neither on the phone or computer I have the options to use htc sync or diskdrive...
I can't put music on it anymore without the cable as android protects the SD-card against writing...
I would like some urgent help with this!!!
I already tried hard reset and setting back to factory settings
I had the same issue with mine. It was determined that the USB port was non-functional. There was no self fix and required a whole new device.
any ID what this will cost me?
do you have the latest drivers?
Try uninstalling htc sync and re-installing.
You will find the software on htc website, i cant post a link cos this is my first post!!!

help needed htc sync phone

okay this is really my last chance
The phone recognizes USB connection but it does not allow me to connect with the htc sync.
I have the hero and there is a ADWlauncer at the minute I restore to factory settings will return adw.
Internet, I followed a lot of steps, and to connect to the PC is possible but I can only encourage mass media and this is not what I want.
this is a hero htc + romupdate to sense not possible,
someone has a solution that can lead to happiness!?
or close the phone to your computer! but does not himself that he can connect with HTC sync, I have no choice options.
Hoping to answer that makes me more angry on the phone haha.

Q. Are you using a custom rom or are you using sense?
If you are using a custom rom I am pretty sure that the htc sync software will no longer work.
If you using standard android 2.1 with the official hero rom I don't know why its' not working.
If you are using a custom sense rom later then android 2.1 I guess it could be that the htc hero pc software might not work on the new rom.

Phone constantly gets disconnected (USB) from laptop (Windows 8.1)

I just got a brand new Dell XPS 15" and whenever i plug my M8 (Root, Venom ROM), it keeps disconnecting from the pc as if someone is pressing a button to connect/disconnect. The windows file explorer shows the device and then the device is gone, it shows and then gone ...
I tried testing the USB ports and plugged in an external HDD and i was able to copy 159G of data without any interruption.
I have installed Google USB Drivers and then HTC Drivers (via HTC Sync Manager) and still no success.
Any idea ?
@..alee
You checked your new computer but did you check multiple USB cables?
Is the cable your using the one that came with the phone?

I have been using this cable for a pretty long time. Used to use this cable with old computer as well.

Check windows device drivers when phone is plugged in and make sure no items show up as nonworking related to HTC phone (yellow exclamation points). Make sure that in the HTC notification bar, after its been plugged in that you have an option to "authorize" HTC phone to communicate with computer. Check you USB connection mode on HTC device while plugged into computer - try toggling the setting back and forth. Lastly uninstall HTC drivers while plugged in to computer and reboot computer and let it install drivers.
Hopefully, following those steps in order, at one point you have have a successful connection.
If it still fails definetly try a different cable. Not all cables are the same, what works for one device, especially an older cable may not have the proper wiring for the HTC one - suggest using the cable that comes with the HTC one, if available.

Same problem with my m8.
not a pc problem.. Tried on various laptops.. Other phones connect through the same usb cable without any problem.
so definitely a problem in phone.
btw mine is m8 stock rooted!
I'm not sure how the problem is "definitely" a M8 phone problem with the data points you supplied. One thing I see is the mention of same USB cable works with other phones - but as previously pointed out in this thread, not all cables are the same, and what works on one phone, may not work on another

It is not a phone problem. This has been talked about over and over in the forums. It is a Win 8 problem. Everything works fine if you use a Win 7 machine, or as I have found out the Win 10 Tech Preview works too. I have a spare laptop here with that installed and guess what, no problems. The main machine I am using now is Win 8.1 and I can't do jack with HTC. Other phones are fine, but this one always is a problem so I use the spare laptop.
Many of the issues on win 8.x boils down to Microsoft's own USB 3.0 drivers that are installed as compared to Intel's drivers. I've replaced my ms drivers with Intel drivers for my chip set a year ago and never had a problem on my USB 3.0 only laptop since that time. Newer chipsets don't have this problem and the chipsets that do are difficult to install - but worth it if you do a lot of phone/adb tinkering like us folks here on XDA.

Interesting. Even after installing an additional 2 port USB card, MS drivers auto install the device, and wow, same thing. Going to have to mess with this now to see.

USB3 or 2? What type of chipset? How do the drivers show up in device manager (Microsoft, Intel, other?) maybe I can help point in the right direction...
okay i ordered a brand new cable and still the same issue. now the only thing which is left to be checked is my drivers, gotta figure out my chipset drivers.
P.S: I have already treid it using htc one m8 manager (which installs usb drivers) and it didn't help me out.

I did man ... Today i spent almost 2 hours with dell support and as a last resort , I have to reset my computer to factory image and still the same problem
Is your computer USB 3.0 only? If so is it an Intel chipset for USB drivers? You can check in device manager. If Intel USB chipset are the drivers provided by Intel or Microsoft (look at properties for the drivers to tell).
Also did u follow my suggestions from a month or so ago?

Hey @tommy_riley, i tried whatever you suggested.
1. The device manager does show a usb android phone with exclamation sign. But it disapears right away (since the phone constantly switch and disconnect). See attached screen shot
2. I don't see any "authroize" option in htc notification bar neither i could change the htc usb mode option. I don't know where that option is in HTC One M8. Tried searching but didn't help
3. I don't have HTC Drivers installed since i just did pc-restore. so its a fresh copy of windows.
Looks like you need the HTC drivers for your phone if they are not installing automatically but could be other things.
Now that PC is restored, I'd suggest installing HTC sync manager while device is unplugged and plug it in if I prompted during install. If it installs the proper drivers you should get a prompt on your phone to authorize communication.
Make sure you are logged in as administrator when installing HTC sync manager and maybe even install it with right click>run as administrator.

First of all, I would like to thank you for taking time and replying to this thread. I really really appreciate it.
Secondly, I did all he steps that you asked me too, i..e, installed HTC Manager and the problem is still there. Now, I don't see any wrongly installed driver (device with exclamation sign) ... But it still constantly disconnects ... see attached image
btw, I am not the only one who is having this issue
http://forum.notebookreview.com/dell-xps-studio-xps/760728-xps-9530-usb-connects-disconnects.html
When in this state, what happens if anything, when you toggle through the various USB modes?
- Sent from a payphone ...
Tried each option one by one. Every option stated that the connection has been changed to the said setting but the device connectivity with the PC remained the same.
However, when i tried "Internet Pass Through" option, I got the error that either the sync manager is out-of-date or pc is already using something else.
There is one more thing I want to let you guys know that I am using ViperM8 ROM and my phone is rooted.
Edit:
From the link i posted above, I tried two more things
1. Changed the virtual memory. The problem still persists
2. Changed the USB debug from my laptop's BIOS ... The problem still persists

Not sure about laptop USB debug, but what about the debug option in your phone? Is that turned on? If not, do it (instructions are around here on how to unlock developer mode, I can't locate at the moment - tap build number several times I believe).
Also, might want to try these drivers instead, see if they make a difference:
"Universal ADB driver" - i'm not sure if the download link at the following URL is totally legit, so take a look around just to be sure.
http://adbdriver.com/downloads/
While phone is plugged in, uninstall the HTC drivers from computer device manager, then install the drivers in the link above.
Got nothing to loose at this point so...
I run Stock ROM so I'm not sure about computer connection issues with viper (if any) so I may be out of options for you after that.
