Alight I am pretty tired of it.
Its been about a year or so since AS has worked for me. I have gone through 3 devices and they still dont sync. I have reformatted my PC numerous times as well. I dont know if it is a WM5/WM6 issue. That why I am here to ask help to try to get it to work or at least figure why it wont sync.
I have a WM6 Loaded Hermes and WM6 Loaded Exec
Win XP Pro SP2
Office 2003 Basic
ActiveSync 4.5
Any detectives out there?
Alright I am sorry,
I remember I always had problems, but it did sync my 2003SE HP 4700. I have erased everything on the PC and Pocket PC by hard resets and foactory resets on the PC. As of the first post I can connect and transfer files but I cannot sync it just hangs at looking for changes. And I ran the AS troubleshooter and it said nothing was wrong. But I can do guest no problem. I dont recall anything happening when It stopped. My PC is running 2 days after the factory restore/.
Hi Folks,
since some weeks i got an error everytime i want to sync my HTC Kaiser with my Outlook. When i connect the phone Windows recognised it and starts the WMDC, i see the picture of the Kaiser but no name. When i try to set it up for sync, i got an error. With my Universal it`s the same i can access it, install progs and so on but no sync and no name.
I reinstalld the WMDC but no change, i use Windows Vista Ultimate x64.
Thanks in advance for your help.
hi jeckyl i have the same anoying problem i already tryed everything i am totally done wit microsoft because nobody is providing any solution
After I installed Vista SP1 i can't sync my tc with my pc.
My PC does find the phone, but when the phone is starting Activesync i get the message on the phone:
"If you want to sync this phone to pc, you have to install ActiveSync 4.5 or higher".
But i have Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1, i guess that's the latest version. Before SP1 it worked fine !
I hope somebody knows a solution for this !
Thx !!
PS already tried the setting USB to PC. When it's checked the phone does nothing. When it's unchecked, the phone tries to sync but gives the message above !
It works now !
Very strange !
But after some reboots, hard resets, un- & reinstalling WMDC, remove phone from device manager and reconnect, ......
Suddenly it worked out !
Why it did now, i really don't have a clue.
So for people with the same problem, just keep on trying all the actions i listed above and cross fingers
goodnight
Problem returns
This morning problem just came back

Now i have the same problem even without VISTA SP1.
Did full format of my pc so SP1 has never been installed !
Really getting sick of this ...
Please help,
Thanx already !

WMDC is nothing but headaches. I've had tons of issues with both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions. The endless synching issues is annoying, and I hate that it deletes all my mobile IE Favorites that are nested in folders. I really wish you could use ActiveSync with Vista
IMO -- WMDC is a promotional tool for the iPhone...
Hello,
Try this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950506/en-us/
By the way, I got the same problem after installing Windows XP SP3 !
The reason is that both WMDC and ActiveSync are not supposed to be compatible with new SPs.
"Note: Microsoft ActiveSync works only with Windows XP SP2 or earlier" (same for WMDC for Vista)
can be found at Microsoft web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...roductID=7C1FA894-B2C5-41BE-8D97-E145DD2A883B
I had to install SP3 in my company computer. That's what I got:
1) ActiveSync 4.5 behaves quite stupid with WP-SP3 (it opens Network drives at each sync/desync).
2) After multiple reinstallations it has allowed me to connect Polaris, but as "Guest" only -- with nothing installed.
3) The only solution to me was hard reset and consequent reinstallation of all I had in Polaris ...
syncing woes
I am having the same issues with syncing as well. tried all of the steps that everyone has listed & called HTC for help. was able to fix it once, but not the next time it happened. I don't think that the problem (at least for me) is with Vista-- I have an old laptop that runs XP and the same thing happens with that computer as well. the company I bought my phone from suggests that I send it back for repair-- aparently this is covered under the warranty and maybe an issue with the phone itself??. If I ever get this sorted out I will post back.
otherwise the phone works great. maybe I should have held out for that 3g iphone.
After uninstallation of Vista SP1 the synchronization was working fine again for me.
Then few days ago I tried to reinstall SP1 and did uninstall and reinstall WMDC as indicated by Microsoft. WMDC was working for 1 day with correct detection and synchronisation of my Cruise but now it's again not working.
I have again tried several times to uninstall and reinstall WMDC with the same result: no detection...
I have tried to make a filter in Bit Defender to force authorization of WMDC.. no result.
I have spent hours not being able to solve the problem.
I am really fedup.
I had much less issues with Palm OS...
I would like to avoid to uninstall again SP1.
Any idea?
I also had this problem, but now it is fixed
What I did was to go in the "USB to PC" menu on the phone and disable advanced network functions.
Hope this can help you as well
...if only that was a permanent fix It'll make things work for a while, and then one day things just break again. WMDC is a iPhone sales tool

I have also tried to disable advanced network functions... no result
I have tried soft resets, uninstallation, reinstallationl... no result
I have tried to stop the partnership and to re-create it (major mistake: it took me few hours to resynchronize all my contacts, notes and calendar events...)... no result
Sometimes it works for 1 day and after the issue comes back again.
According to forums I am not at all the only one facing this.
Only solution is to uninstall Vista SP1. Then it works fine again.
Microsoft is making products that are not compatible while done by the same company...
Can you tell me if it happened after you put sp1 onto vista? I'm thinking about upgrading but may not do if its going to cause problems - my phone syncing to my pc is pretty important to me!
Many users have reported the same issue relating to SP1. Personally, I had sync issues before and after SP1. Can be very frustrating. I'm just glad that for the most part, I sync with Exchange.

I sent my phone in to HTC for repair 5 weeks ago. still waiting.....
In my case, I confirm I have the problem only if I install Vista SP1... When I remove SP1 I have the synchronisation is working perfectly. With SP1 it's sometimes working but most of the time not.
Vista SP1 is clearly causing the problem in my case and I was not able to find any solution, except removing SP1 (see above description of all my trials).
Vista SP1 and same problem
I checked Microsoft's "solutions" - it didn't work... of course
few days ago I could connect my XDA Orbit 2 after computer reboot or via bluetooth anytime
now non of this works, but my totalcmd still see my mobile (plugin for WinCE availeble on ghisler.com)
any ideas?
About 2 weeks ago my 8525 stopped connecting to WMDC. It has always worked fine b4 that. I'm running Vista Premium 32 bit on a home built PC. I assume something must have gotten updated and broke this. My 8525 is running WM 6.0 from AT&T's official ROM update.
The phone connects fine to another computer running MCE with Activesync, so I assume the problem is not with the phone.
In Vista, Device mgr., Windows Mobile Remote Adapter shows up when I connect the phone. But I'm told "Pocket PC" is also supposed to show up and it does not.
I thought to do a system restore but I can only restore to 6 days ago, and this problem is going on two weeks now.
I updated WMDC to 6.1 hoping that would fix it, but it didn't. My next move will be to do a system repair unless someone has another idea.
Thanks.
uncheck advanced network connections on your ppc and see if that does the trick.
Thanks for responding. Forgot to mention, already tried that. No good.
I'm so pissed
Last week my iphone broke, so I've been trying to get my old 8125 to work.... It was working fine, and I had this old NBD OS on there, WM6
well it was very unstable, so I figured I put 6.5 on this thing...
I downloaded the XD-2's 6.5 OS and now as soon as 'updating the ROM' status bar comes up the RUU freezes up at 0%... I get the 'Room Update Uitlity has stopped working' message...
I have a 64 bit Vista that I tried this on, and also tried it on the Windows 7 (32bit) laptop... same reults
can anyone please help me?
and on top of this, when I synched it, it deleted ALL my contacts that I had to put one by one from the iphone =/
the phone is fully unlocked, and is upgraded to IPL SPL 2.26...
anyone, pretty please?
Update your Wizard in Windows XP 32bit! I never get Vista 64bit or 32bit upgrading method to work. There is nice step by step manual but it never worked for me. I tricked it with upgrading from Windows XP running in vmware Drivers in XP and Vista are different, that is why it did not worked. There are drivers for Vista both 32 and 64 bit, but it is not signed so it prevents Vista to use it. Microsoft wants lot of money for signing drivers!
