Windows Mobile Device Centre (Vista) and Universal Mobile 6 - Latest

I am using Jwrightmcps Crossbow ROM 2.02.02 WWE. Hard reset fresh install. Current running programs - Wisbar Advance. Thats all.
The latest and most irritating problem I am having with Vista and Activesync on Universal is that it wont connect via USB . It connects and suddenly disconnects. Today i took some pics with the phone and wanted to transfer them to laptop on the train where there is no internet and GPRS wont work under cave. Device just wouldnt connect to laptop running vista ultimate.
Then i tried to connect Activesync bluetooth to transfer the pics wouldnt work either. All bluetooth or beam connections wouldnt work. I dont know if this issue is only occuring with me but i find it very irritating. Some troubleshoot tips would be really helpful.
Ultimately i had to transfer the pics via GPRS email.
I wonder when will Windows Mobile support Vista. Almost all my electronics are synced with vista very well like xbox360.

ActiveSync under Vista? Don't you mean Windows Mobile Device Centre --> http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx
I'm having all my phones hooked up (see sig.) without any problems under Vista, Guess your vista install is corrupted then.

ActiveSync under Vista? Don't you mean Windows Mobile Device Centre - YES I mean Windows mobile device centre.
You are lucky to not be having any problems. My vista install is not corrupt . My other phone works well with Vista's Mobile Centre. My HTC Advantage X7500 that is. ... Oh well looks like Universal sux.
To be more precise. The Activesync 4.5 on windows xp is experiencing the same problems as Vista's Mobile center. >.< as i tried on my other desktop

If the only program you have installed is Wisbar Advance, why don't you hard-reset your phone? That usually solves all connection problems.

Done. No change. Using same ROM. Connection keeps dropping. Does the connection drop after some idle time? Unable to sync via Bluetooth either.

yes, i have the same problem like you. Crossbow 2.2.0 and vista business with wdcm don't synchronize. It try and return me a error.
But it is strange because it install nero mobile on my device, but he don't synchronize !
I need a solution too.

Here no problems at all. Vista Ultimate and JW ROM 2.02.02 WWE. Sync works perfectly well. I use USB connection. I think, the problem may by with cable or USB hub, if any. Also make sure that you've got the uodated version of WMDC. Main is 6.0.3783. I also install soft from my Vista, browse my uni, copy files and abslolutly no problems.

What about the Bootloader and ROM upgrade thru Vista? How do yousolve the problem with the USB driver/ports in these modes?

Well, I still have WinXP on my other disk, so I could upload ROM to my uni from XP. The bootloader is 1.01. I had to use bootloader to install JW ROM. However I mainly use Vista now. I am syncing my uni usualy once a day. I am taking pictures and video so I have to transfer it to my PC. The syncing proces is done using USB under Vista and no problems at all. I never bothered with USB drivers for my Uni. Simply Vista system upgrade doeas everything form me.

USB Sync issues Vista mobile device center

I have the latest Windows Vista Mobile Device Center installed (the new actviesync replacment) It was working great with my new Treo 750 for a few days. For some reason I can no longer establish a USB connection. Instead of the normal postive sounds (boo beep) you hear three (boo boo boo) when you plug it in. Also, why do you have to push the button on the USB cable before it does anything? My previous non Palm Windows Mobile devices didnt have that.
boo = low tone
beep = high tone
So again, no more boo beep, only a very quick boo-boo-boo. I still get the BEE boo when I unplug it or the phone shuts back off though. Shoot what heck is wrong? My ipaq 6900 had no issues on the same computer for many months.
I tried reinstalling Mobile Device Center
I tried a new USB port
I tried softresetting the Treo
What else should I check out before I try a hard reset?
Does anyone else have connection issues?
The connection issue sucks, because now I cant use PDANet for my USB internet connection as well.
Any advice?

I uninstalled PDANet from both windows vista and the treo
I uninstalled windows mobile device center (and the driver update) via control panel, pograms, remove
I rebooted windows vista (32 bit by the way)
I reinstalled windows mobile device center
I plugged in my treo 750, hit the button on the cord, boo BEEP
"USB Device Not Recognized One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message"
Ok, so my next task will be to test this on another Vista machine to rule out if it's the phone or windows that has the problem. :-/

I've got same problem, but I never sync treo with pc completly error is (Server is bussy) code 0x80072EFF
pc see my treo but don't sync contacts anything.
I was reinstall wmdc and make hard reset on treo ... it's terrible .. maybee wm6 will help.

media sync problems
I have no problems with WMDC using USB and Bluetooth. Sometimes I get an error but I just hit Sync and it syncs up.
I'm having problems when syncing media. The Treo disconnects after a few songs are synced so I have to remove the cable then plug it in again many times before a sync is complete.
Have you tried checking if WMDC is allowed through Windows Firewall?

S4czech,
Can you give a try for the tip described below :

Windows Mobile device Center on Vista has gone mad!

Hi!
I want to sync my HTC Artemis with my Vista Laptop.
The problem is that I cannot open Windows Mobile Device Center on Windows Vista.
When I run it, theres only this Connection settings dialog appearing... everytime i open it! Normally there should pop up this bigger green nice designed window with many function (one of them the connection settings)
So I can nothing do!!
Though I can connect to my phone by USB and Bluetooth (I can browse the files on the device) I cannot set up WM Device Center to pair for a Sync connection.
It is also strange that all my contacts, etc. were gone when I tried this first.
I think this is because I had my device still paired but installed Vista new on my Laptop.
Can anybody help me?

you should search first grasshopper, or atleast check the second page of this forum.

i'm sorry that thread didnt help me too... that was the reason why i started this one! its a different problem now... i realized now that i wont get my contacts back so I'm collecting them wrom my freinds' phones.
the Sync problem still exists!

Have you tried downloading and installing WMDC 6.1?

you have to have outlook installed on you computer...vista does not come with it there for you can not sync your numbers...now outlook is expensive though...i also have a windows xp computer as well so i just keep syncing with that one...search for ns contacts as well...lets you back up all your #s to desktop then back to phone...google search it..

I have outlook installed
new installation of WMDC helped! thank you very much!!

ActiveSync via BT on Vista with 2125?

Has anyone been able to get ActiveSync to work over Bluetooth in Vista with a 2125? Which English ROM will I have the best of luck with as my USB Bluetooth on my desktop computer running vista ultimate x86 keeps telling me that my phone doesnt support activesync over bluetooth.
Also where can I get the Stock Cingular ROM for my 2125?
Can anyone point to to a guide on how to set it up?
any ideas?
many thanks,
SG

No one has because you dont need Active Sync in Vista, Vista comes preloaded with Windows Mobile Device Centre

Sorry I meant to say "Windows Mobile Device Centre"
I cant tell if it is becuase of my USB BT Dongle or my 2125. When I try to esablish a BT ActiveSync connection from my 2125 it says there is no partnership setup with a computer that supports activesync. yet I believe my BT Dongle does.
Any ideas?

Have you done a wired sync with that computer before? If not, you should do it. I've read that in the past. It fixed a sync problem with one of my phones, however, I've done it w/o too and it works. Have you created a BT Partnership between your computer and your phone? When you create the partnership, click on Advanced, re-confirm the PC name, then on the Services Window, checkmark Active sync. Then open active sync on phone, and click on right menu and chose Connect via BT. It should work. Good Luck!
EDIT: The partnership has to be created from the phone, not from the PC. If created from the PC, as far as my experience, it'll create a Modem Dialup connection partnership that will allow the PC to connect to the internet via BT using Wap connection on your phone. If you do want to create that too, use *99# as the dialup phone number. Leave blank the User name and PW.

Thanks for the reply.
When I try to setup a partnership from the phone I see my computer but I only see 3 service. Stereo somthing, handsfree, and something else but none of which are active sync. Yet when I look on my computer I see that activesync is in the list and selected.
I have a IOGear BT211 (Broadcom 2045) USB Dongle running in Vista Ultimate SP1.
Could it be my BT211 Driver? I have the latest version 5.1.x
Thanks,

Well the new phone I bought has all the drivers for Vista on CD. But its installed on my son's Laptop and he don't let daddy get nearby his toys LOL so, I really couldn't help more. I do know active sync works over BT with Vista. So I guess you'll have to keep trying. Do you have any instalation CD for your phone? From what I remember, if you don't have the "Outlook" that comes with the phone instalation, you might not be able to. I remember it didn't work untill we installed the one on the phone CD. All though, his Laptop had MS Office already installed. So... take a look around that.

My Bad. I had the wrong Window drivers installed for my BT on my desktop. LOL. Who would have though that the Windows XP drivers wouldnt work under Vista? lol
Thanks for the help.
