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.

Windows Mobile Device center (Vista) and Sync problem

Hello! It seems I have the first question with my XDA Exec…
It connects to the PC without problem and I can see it on Windows Explorer (Windows Vista). But synchronization (through Windows Mobile Center)… only completes on the first connection.
If I disconnect from the PC and connect again, most of the times the “Sync” begins but never ends. In these cases, the only solution has been to erase definitions (both on the PC as on the PDA); if so… the next time I connect it does not have the problem, but of course I have to define again what I want to synchronize.
Forgive me if there is already some forum on this issue, I looked for before placing but I did not find.
Some solution? Many thanks and regards from Portugal.

am also having the same problem .. any aid please ?

Same problem here too - device connects, charges, shows in explorer but when WMDC tries to connect the device continues to charge but drops out of explorer.
If I find a solution I'll report back here, meanwhile can anybody save me the heartache?

Vista Sync Problem
Which version of WMDC are you using?
I am using 6.1.6965 and having no problems. Alternatively, go to the network icon in your task bar after connecting your PPC thru USB and repair connection. This should resolve the problem

I had a similar problem, I reverted to 6.0.6783. Although come to think of it I think this was particular to an app I use, that refused to sync using the later version of WMDC.
Might be worth a try though.
Has anyone applied SP1 yet? What version of WMDC do you end up with?

I seem to remember unticking (and maybe reticking) the "Enable advanced network functionality" on the "USB to PC" applet on "System" tab of Settings.
Can't remember if that's what fixed it.

hey guys, the main problem if ur using an antivirus/internet security or firewall it will be blocked!!
u need to configure ur antivirus/internet security or firewall to allow and solve the sync problems

This fixed it for me too, which is interesting given that the general advice is to *enable* it if there are problems syncing. This is definitely what fixed it for me - the device now always syncs on my recently reforatted XP machine whereas previously it was intermittent (which is odd because I'd never experienced problems before, but hey, it's fixed so I don't care any more)

ditto.... that solved it

Managed to solve the Problem
Hey there guys,
I seemed to be having the same problem anj just solved it...
1 Remove the Enable advanced network functionalty check from the USB to PC connection settings "Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC".
2 Make sure that the Mobile Device is connected via USB to the PC.
3 Install Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 (either 32bit or 64bit, I installed 64bit)
4 Open Control Panel on the PC and run Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1
5 At the bottom of the application you will see Mobile Device Settings, and within that you will see Connection Settings. Open the Connection Settings
6 Make sure that the second check box named Allow connections to one of the following is checked, and that the Drop Down below is changed to COM 1 (or which ever COM Port your Mobile Device is connected to via your USB cable) and save the changes
7 Disconnect the Mobile Device and Reconnect and hopefully it will work for you.
I realise that this solution might not work for some, but it did work for me, and hopefully it will work for others.

Wrong forum mate
I understand that you do not own an HTC Universal (Universal not means all HTC devices!, it´s a model. One of the best by the way)

Sync Problem
1 Remove the Enable advanced network functionalty check from the USB to
PC connection settings "Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC".
2 Make sure that the Mobile Device is connected via USB to the PC.
3 Install Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 (either 32bit or 64bit, I installed
64bit)
4 Open Control Panel on the PC and run Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1
5 At the bottom of the application you will see Mobile Device Settings, and
within that you will see Connection Settings. Open the Connection Settings
6 Make sure that the second check box named Allow connections to one of
the following is checked, and that the Drop Down below is changed to COM
1 (or which ever COM Port your Mobile Device is connected to via your USB
cable) and save the changes
7 Disconnect the Mobile Device and Reconnect and hopefully it will work for
you.
I already done all the instruction, disable the firewall and antivirus, i also go to device manager too to update the driver/device, but still couldn't connect. Anyone can help me please.

How did you resolved the issue???? I have an Iolite which does not synch (connects only as a guest), keep getting the message "there is a problem with your connection........"
any help will be appreciated

Even this is a legacy thread there are some people out there (including me) still using Windows Mobile devices (but also using WP7 ...).
Had exactly the same problem and in my case just using another USB cable did it! It seems that WM devices are a bit "fragile" when using a not 100% perfect USB cable

Windows Mobile Device Center woes

I recently flashed my ROM from WM5 to WM 6. Thank you XDA. The problem I am having is now my Vista Computer won't connect with my MDA. Before the Flash it snyc fine. I uninstalled WMDC and reinstalled it and nothing. WMDC is aweful, Active Sync is great. Help maybe it is some kind of trick to get Vista to recognize it again with the new flashed WM6.

make sure you are using Active Sync. ver 4.5.....?

with some roms you have to uncheck the box "USB-PC" Found in settings/system/or sometimes found in connections,"USB-PC" and uncheck Enable advanced Network functionality. Then try and Sync

I can't use Active Sync with Win Vista. Any other suggestions..?

Then restore Vista to when it was working.

I'm also having trouble with Vista Ultimate (x64 and x32) and my Wizard (Octavoi's ROM)
It sees my device for a few seconds and then it closes.. The WMDC doesn't see my device at all...
The Event Viewer shows the following:
Windows Mobile-based USB device is plugged in but is unable to make a network connection to the desktop.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Windows Mobile-based device failed to connect due to communication (0x80072745) failure (see data for failure code).

Does anybody know how to solve this?
I've tried to uncheck the 'Advanced Network Functionality', but that also doesn't seem to work.....

Firewall could be the culprit.
Check your settings in your firewall. If you have Windows OneCare that would also interupt your connection with WMDC. But with any firewall program make sure that it allows or is in the trusted mode for any Windows Mobile Device.

I have Windows Live One Care but I don't think that's the problem.
I turned it off and tried to connect... without succes
But I'll give it a try again this afternoon.

i'm the other way, i went from vista to xp at work because of stupid autocad 2008 problems (don't get me started) and i prefer wmdc over activesync.. i have ver 4.5 and i have issues like it sometimes will randomly disconnect or won't complete a sync. other times i have no issue though. I never had a problem on vista with wmdc.

when i first hooked up my pda in vista it would load the driver in vista but, wouldn't connect, turned out it was loading an older driver and i manually updated to the newest one and just like that it was connecting, later i downgraded the driver to be able to update the rom and it was still working.

Where did you get the newer drivers from?

Try this :
Go to device manager in Vista
While connecting your wizard the device manager should refresh and add a 'MS Windows Mobile Remote Adapter'
Now right-click that adapter and choose 'uninstall'.
Vista will add the device again and soon after WMDC should connect.
At least it worked for me...

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.
