I am wanting to update my hd2 to the rom they pushed out a week or so ago. I installed activesync 4.5 on my computer, but when i plug my phone into my computer, it does not recognize the phone and nearly all of the buttons on the activesync window are greyed out. My computer recognizes the phone and I can get into the storage card on the phone, etc. but activesync just doesnt work. When i first got my phone I used the internet sharing function to get my computer online, if that matters at all. I also have used the multimedia twist program to sync up my music with the phone.
I am at a loss, and quite aggravated how not user friendly this process is for me. Can anyone help?
My computer is running fully updated win xp, sp3. I read something about needing outlook to import contacts, and I have office 2007 installed also.
Here's some advice, don't upgrade to the TM latest ROM rather get one of the other roms available on this site.
I cant tell you how much time I've wasted trying to get activesync to work, just when things seem to be going smoothly, bam, it stops and short of re flashing the rom sometimes it just will not recognise the phone. Or it hangs on some date from a meeting years ago and refuses to sync so being so frustrated and fed up I took the plunge and put Android on the phone.
It's a little bit of a pita to sync outlook to your google account but once you figure that out it's smooth sailing and you'll never look back. Android works, the chefs have done an incredible job, it's seamless, elegant and makes you wonder why MS should ever be used.
If you still want to mess with activesync, go through a hard reset and pair it again with the PC and wait until it reloads all your data - talk about a pita.
First day with the phone, and so much grief. Never did I expect it.
I am able to transfer music etc from the PC Suite in mass storage mode, but i can't transfer contacts. The sync in progress bar comes up and its stuck there without moving. Then it says ''no response from the phone''.
Deleted usb drivers using usbdeview, and re plugged the phone, but no relief.
Was having other trouble with a 4gb SD Card ''preparing SD Card, checking for errors''. Will be trying to return it tomorrow, i think its corrupted.
So put the original 2 gb in it after a factory reset. 2gb card working but cannot sync contacts from pc to phone. is there any other software, way?
Beginning to wonder if i should have bought this phone.... Haven't slept a wink.
Trying another factory reset with the 2gb card in it - Which surprisingly was the only things that works! I can sync contacts, but i think this is a really irritating way. Im gona have to do another one after i get a 4gd SD.
LG Software developers - do ya'll think we like to spend our lives solving your puzzles??!!
The new LG suite software has a warning to you turn on wifi or 3g conection, before doing the sync.
Have you done that?
Cheers

Hmmm. I haven't got that warning, and ive checked that the PC suite version is the latest one. anyhow, i never leave it on, so maybe that is the cause
Without any problems with MyPhoneExplorer. If you download also MyPhoneExplorer app from market, you can use for transfer also wifi and USB.
PC Sync you need to add account in Accounts & sync
Hello, just bought mine and is very happy with it, considering i bought this to replace my iphone 3gs. pretty much a downgrade, but a new ground nonetheless since its my 1st android phone.
now, people having problems syncing, ive been trying to figure this out since yesterday. heres what u need to make sure to sync contacts/mail/calendar:
-make sure u have 3g/H signal on top of your notifications.its network dependent, u might have to adjust it on settings, network, mobile network, access point names. choose one that gives u 3g signal
-make sure 2g only signal option is unchecked
-make sure your phone is visually on. adjust your screen timeout on settings, display, timeout setting and put it on 30 mins so your phone doesnt sleep.
try syncing it again.
hope this helps.
LG Optimus P500 Outlook sync issue resolution
Hi All,
As suggested in this earlier thread, I was able to resolve the outlook sync issues. Though it might sound weird, you need to have the wi-fi or 3G data turned on, for you to be able to successfully do a sync. I kept the wi-fi on and was able to do a sync of my contacts and calendar, though there were some repeat entries in my calendar. I will have to work that out!
Here is what you should be doing:
Connect you phone to the computer
Ensure that you aren't switching on the mass storage
Keep your wi-fi or 3G data turned on
Launch LG PC suite IV and start synching.
There is an update available for the PC sync suite, which i downloaded today. I am seeing an improvement in the performance of the application, when I switch between contacts to messaging to calendar etc., The latest version is 4.2.46.20101118.
Hi all,
Houston we have a problem
I'm having problems connecting my phone with PC Suite. I was able to cennect it in "mass storage mode"and instal PC Suite from it, but i can't connect phone with PC Suite. It starts loading and then the error comes out saying either; "device cannot be opend, it's beeing used by another program" or "not responding". If I then press OK, it throws me into the LG Air Sync, with the same errors.
I tried what @xeboslavvb said, but only with 3G, cos i don't have wi-fi(yet).
Need help, please It's my first smarthphone so i might be missing something obvious.
tnx
Well, you can use MyPhoneExplorer instead, so easy and fast
So i can use it to sync phonebook, update to 2.2.1 etc. It wont "hurt" the phone?
I'll try it. tnx
I would still like to have PC Suite working, so if there are any ideas...
edit:
LOL, i don't know what is wrong with it. I instaled MyPhoneExplorer on computer, connected the phone and then in the MyPhoneExplorer another error " Connection to phone could not be established:No device attached to USB"?
edit2:
All I had to, was to connect the phone to the backplate USB port, the front one only worked in "mass storage mode"...

First, download Myphoneexplorer to your pc(website) and your phone(from market)
then open the program on your optimus, it will give you 2 options:
1-Wifi(Working if your pc and your optimus on the same router)
2-USB(should set Debugging Mode to ON)
select which connection you prefer, then press connect on PC program (you have to select that you're connect an Android phone from tools)
Tadaaaa.. connected
sorry for long post, but it could be useful to noobs
Tnx, but like I said, all i did was connect it via. "backplate" USB port and it worked. Don't know why...
You could sync it to your google account and then use your google account to sync to your phone. I have that and it works great
Hi All... I can synch to LG PC Suite IV...
All...
What I did is just to turn on 3G and Shazaaam!!!...
Actually I don't know why this synch needs from 3G, because basically the connection is through USB...
Hope this can help to you...
Memo.

Lg pc suite is too buggy. Try my phone explorer, for sync contacts, sms etc.
http://www.fjsoft.at/en/
I also had problems with Lg pc suite, but it seems you do need a working networkconnection (in my case enabling Wifi worked) even if connected to usb!
I guess it is due to bad programming from LG
pcsync worked for me only when using a stable wifi connection
until then i also tried using it in vain
after getting wifi router things changed
i could sinchronize my contacts
Guys,
All of a sudden, my HTC sync isn't working. I have a stock unrooted Thunderbolt, and now I can't get anything to work right. I tried plugging in phone (usb) choosing sync, and letting it find sync, no luck. Then tried opening sync on desktop first then plugging it in and choosing sync, still noting.
why the sudden fail for sync to work? I haven't downloaded any apps to my phone recently.
Any suggestions, please!?
connect the phone, then connect as internet pass through leave it like that for 5 minutes or so and then try again.
Finally got it to work, but not sure how. I plugged it in, with Sync already up, still wouldn't recognize anything, then unplugged and plugged back in, then it worked. So not sure what the problem is.
My computer is having a problem recognizing my HTC Vivid as anything besides an Unknown USB Device. Sometimes it will come up as an Android Phone and list the normal drivers but that goes away and turns into an Unknown USB Device with no drivers in about 10 seconds. I've tried mounting it to Disk Drive, HTC Sync, Internet Pass-Through, and Sync Manager. Not sure what to do at this point, I want to update my phone.

I'm having the same issue as you, just started tonight (trying to put the 1/15/2014 build of CM 11 on it), and so far haven't come across anything useful yet. I do recommend going to the HTC vivid forums and asking for help there, as you're more likely to get a response.
And sorry for reviving an old thread.
OK so, I recently decided to use my HTC One M7 as a "Modem" in this case, Tethering thru my Computer to my Main Modem, as my Computer keeps getting "DNS unavailable" stuff. Works great, only problem is that it freezes parts of Windows.
The Windows Task Manager doesn't load and is frozen (Usually doesn't when the CPU is under excessive load), the ENTIRE Control Panel of Windows is unresponsive, anything that has to do with Windows is not working, when it's unplugged they start working again.
Is this a problem with my Phone? or my Computer, It for sure can not be the computer as it works when it's unplugged.
Thanks!
