Everytime I launch htc sync it says that no devices are connected. However my phone says its Connected. Then I got a popup from the app saying that it has closed unexpectedly.
I am running Windows 7 x64.
Also if this doesn't work is there another alternative?

I don't think anyone really uses HTC sync here, you're probably better off calling HTC themselves...why are you still using USB to sync...everything can be done over the cloud now through google, even connect with outlook etc. There are even task programs in the market which sync to google and outlook over the cloud.

I was trying to use the tether option and it says it requires htc sync to work.
Has anyone seen this error?

I'm sorry I don't have my amaze with me for a few days, SO I cannot directly help you get HTC sync working...But when I get it I'll get back to you...In the mean time, contact customer service, unless you're unlocked...in which case, hopefully someone who uses htc sync can help for now

Brand new GSII, so it's running KE3 and completely stock on T-Mobile.
the Facebook app from Market lets me login and use it. But when I want to connect my facebook account with the social hub OR through "accounts and sync" (in settings) it says connection failed. Try again.
I've done that repeatedly (on wifi and 3G) and it still fails.
Anyone know how to fix this?
(btw am I right in believe that this will allow me to link my facebook contacts with my contacts on my phone - thus pulling down their profile pics - and bringing up the little "f" icon showing that they're linked??)
Thanks for any replies

That's why it's really annoying for me. I had the Desire and I really liked the fact that I had little pictures next to the people I was texting!!

Hi,
I have an HTC Titan and used to run Shazam OK, but stopped working.
Uninstalled, restarted, re-installed and the same issue.
I have sent my phone back to HTC and they have completely reflashed it - everything else works fine. I am still using 8107.
I have once again downloaded Shazam and I get the error "couldnt complete setup at this time. Please try later. Error (2)"
Any ideas?

If even HTC couldn't fix it won't it be worth checking if Shazam can advice anything?
Also, check out the in-built music recognition via search button. I've never needed anything like Shazam or Soundhound after using that. It also links me to marketplace for some songs I want to download or buy! - I love it.

Agree, the built in solution (accessed by the magnifying glass followed buy the music symbol) works OK - no where near as accurate as Shazam based on my experience though.
Have mailed Shazam AGAIN .... still waiting for a response.
Weird, it works just fine on my Titan II. I wonder that the difference is...
Still not working
HTC have just replaced my Titan with a new one.
Before downloading ANY other apps, I downloaded Shazam and tried to run it.
Same problem as before, 'cant install at this time' blah blah…
Unbelieveable!!!
Any ideas?
Is it a problem with my Windows / Hotmail account?
Or maybe Orange?
I can live without Shazam, the built in app is OK but that's not the point....

It's cool, what can I say--it's new! But the problem I'm having right now is how to get my Macbook Pro to see my new Evo as a drive? I see HTC Sync Manager and Media sync and I assume that I can use media sync to transfer files but nothing happens on my mac.
Is anyone else having this problem? How did you solve it?
Thanks

Welcome to the joys of the fantastic EVO LTE!
And good luck getting help with the mac problem, I have no ideas there I only use PC and Linux.
Throw an SD card in it, you'll get more options. I know, I still don't fully understand the new MTP protocol, and it doesn't work on my old PC.

Hey thanks for your quick answers, I found a solution here to use Android File Transfer. This worked and apparently this is not needed on a PC. As soon as I installed it on my macbook pro I could see the phone. Weird--I guess I have some reading to do… oi.
Hi
Has anyone had a problem trying to use sync manager, as I can't even find the option use choose it, from the USB option,
I installed this one from the htc website (arrgh I cant post links yet) which I got from the one x+ support page
dl4.htc.com/download/htc-sync-manager/setup_1.1.48.0_htc.exe
On the phone there isnt an option to select htc sync like I had on other htc phones, but once installed the software on the pc detected it correctly and let me sync media, contacts etc
I had previously installed 3.3.10, but that didnt detect my phone

Just the problem with the button control when useing headphone.
That being when you click the button to forward or rewind track you dial the last number you used
A bit of a pain when walking the dog...

Hi there. Honestly, sync manager is kind of garbage (for me at least). It's way too slow and as we can see, doesn't always recognize your device.
Download Android File Transfer. You can put music, photos, and all kinds of other things on much more quickly.
I have searched, Googled,etc. and have concluded that there is no easy or consistent way to sync photos, video or music between the HOX+ and Macs running Mountain Lion. If this is wrong I would very much appreciate any info on how one is able to do this.
This is the one thing that keeps me from buying the HOX+ over the Galaxy S3 which has the Kies and Kies Air apps and the Nokia 920 which has the WindowsPhone app. I have tried syncing both the S3 and 920 with my iMac with 10.8.2 and while neither sync is as trouble free as the iPhone5 at least with a little tweaking one can get the job done.
Does HTC really intend to just ignore the Mac base or is this situation just temporary?
Thanks for any help.
They are made to sync with the Google options, not the Apple options. If you want it to sync up right then use Google mail, music, talk, Picasa, G+ and other things. If you expect it to sync with iPhoto and iTunes then you are kidding yourself, I'd NEVER expect good support for those.
I'm a Mac user too, but I live in reality.

It feels like you didn't even read his post... he's not asking for solutions that sync with the native Mac applications, he just wants sync software of some sort that supports the HOX+.
fmcgirt, have you looked at HTC Sync? I've never used it, but it seems to fill the role you are looking for. http://www.htc.com/uk/software/htc-sync-manager/
Thanks for the response but the reality of my situation is that we have family members with iPhones and Android devices which currently all coexist nicely (sync contacts and calendars) on iCloud and music and photos with iTunes and iPhoto. And I don't expect good support but my point was that I haven't found ANY support for the HOX+ - not even that of the Kies variety for the S3. So I guess you are telling me that in order to own the HOX+ I will need to convert everything to Google services which of course can't happen.

When I was searching I think I found that HTC Sync has not been updated to work with Mtn Lion or at least nobody had seemed to get it to work yet. If it would work it would be fine or also Double Twist or something like that but there seems to be some "gotchas" in everything I looked at. Thanks for the suggestion. It was the type of feedback I was hoping for.
Double twist has worked for my HOX+ and wife's gs3

That is really good news about the HOX+. I also have gotten it to work using AirSync for the G3 but that is the first I had heard about the HOX+.
And you were using Mountain Lion (10.8) on your Mac?

Have you been able to get it to work over USB? I had it working with airsync when I was at home, but now I am at school and they block network communication within the network and I can't get airsync to work. Any luck with USB?
I downloaded the latest HTC Sync Manager and it works fine on my iMac running 10.8.2 and the HOX+. Had to view the Gallery Camera Shots in the Finder,
move them to the Desktop and then import to iPhoto but otherwise all else seems OK.

I admit the sync stuff can be flaky. What works perfectly fine one time will not connect the next time, etc. What seems to help for me when I can't connect when I know nothing has changed from the last time when it worked is to restart both the Mac and the phone. If that fails then I try uninstalling and reinstalling the Mac apps and usually between these two things I can get the stuff to work but it sure can be a pain.
I would check your USB cable. For the longest time, I could not get things to sync with my Mac until my friend let me borrow his USB cable. Granted I'm running Lion, but I think trying a different USB cable would help. Try a shorter cable.

I think it must be something to do with my phone. I am using the stock cable and never had a huge issue syncing with HTC Sync Manager (crap I know, but on USB it usually seems to work) and then I put Viper XL 1.2 on it and now it cuts out midsync most of the time, sometimes android file transfer works and sometimes not. Just seems hit and miss.

You are not alone, HTC sync manager for OSX is garbage. I can't get mine to sync most of the time. I had to go with doubletwist, which I don't care for, but heck what can you do.
I ended up going with iSyncr. I would agree with what other people say about it being flaky, and with trying a shorter cable.
For file transfer, I've been using the Android File Transfer program from Google (can't find the link right now), and it also works sporadically. The most annoying thing with it, though, is that you need to keep your screen on while transferring files, or else it seems like the Mac thinks the phone is leaving USB Debugging mode.
My wife has a crappy old Dell that I had to break out when I unlocked and rooted with Hasoon's tool. Otherwise you should be able to get by without it.
FWIW, iSyncr did just an okay job with iTunes playlist. I'm thinking of just going with Spotify for all my music since I'm a subscriber anyway.
As for calendar, photos, etc, it would seem that the best bet would be set up your Apple services to sync up with your google account. For example, my wife has an iPhone 4, and I set her whole phone up to sync with gCal, gMail, etc. If she had a Mac I'd probably just set iCal and Address Book to sync with that. As for photos, I think you may be SOL, unless iPhoto has some sort Dropbox sync or other service I'm not aware of.
