I am running mfrazzz's XM6r5 on my 8125 (AS4.5). Everything has been performing perfectly until a few days ago I noticed whenever I connect USB to my computer, Activesync fires, and then as soon as it is complete, it syncs again continuously.
I changed the registry to only sync manually, and even that did not fix the problem.
If I stop the sync it will lie idle for a few minutes, but then once it starts to sync again, the same behavior occurs.
Any ideas would be appreciated
update to issue
Just to eliminate as many variables as possible, I hard reset back to button ROM and connected to the USB cable. I had the same symptom of continual active syncs. Could this be a hardware issue - bad USB connector on my 8125? I tried a different USB cable also same result....
Help!!
same thing happens to me-I just have to keep closing it.Battery last less than a day

Hi Guys
Sorry if this is in the wrong area ... i think its correct?
I recently upgraded(?) to XP64 pro and ever since my Blueangel keeps connecting and disconnecting when plugged into its USB cradle.
I hear the "connect" beep and see it appear in Device Manager. I then hear the "Disconnect" beep after a random (usualy short) amount of time, maybe 2/3/4 seconds and its vanished from Device Manager. A couple of seconds later it will then reconnect again..... rinse, repeat
This was working fine before the XP 64 upgrade so I can only imagine its related to that and the hardware is all OK.
(if you need/want any more details from the phone then you will need to tell me how to get them )
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
ActiveSync works fine for me under xp64 so that's not the problem. I recall having the same problem with the BA and I think doing a hard reset on the phone and clearing out the partnership on the computer to force a new partnership did the trick. I don't recall going so far as to uninstall and reinstall ActiveSync.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I can try a reset on the phone of course, certainly won't hurt! Sadly though, I don't even have Active Sync installed yet so I can't really see how it will help.
Im just trying to see the phone as a USB storage device first :?
I always found my XDA2 would keep disconnecting & reconnecting if I tried to switch it off in the cradle. Now I just leave it on and hold down the power button to turn off the backlight.
Hey all, new to the forum.. great site with some great info! I currently own a hermes, and upgraded to wm6.. however, when i connect to active sync through my usb, it gives me this noise (regular usb connect sound doubled) and active sync cannot detect my device. Shortly after it just disconnects and goes to charging. I know this is not a usb port issue because i have tried all ports, connected my digital camera etc etc. What could be the problem? Any help is appreciated... because having 25% of my contacts is a pita!! lol
Are you using the USB cable that came with your phone?
I have many USB devices and find that some of the cables do not work due to the amount of pins that are connected at each end.
Also what version of OS do you use and activesync/WMDC?
I have same problem with WM6 and ActiveSync4.5. I'm using the same USB cable I was prior to upgrading to WM6 and never had any problems back then. Have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling AS but still no luck
Right now, I'm trying to find some other alternatives to AS which can sync Outlook contacts and calendar appointments etc.
Quick question, when you guys connect does activesync get stuck at Retrieving Settings????
I get problems with the actual syncing of information. The device is recognised and sync starts, it just takes ages and can fail sometimes.
Other days it syncs straight away without problems.
WM6 AUS ROM
Vista
WMDC 6.1
I installed Dutty v4 last night and upgraded my radio to 12.32 I believe. Today I tried installing more software and activesync doesn't respond. I tried installing activesync on a different computer and still nothing. I have tried hard reset, turning the computer and the phone off several times, reinstall activesync, etc. I do believe it's a problem with the phone since I did install activesync on a new computer and didn't work.
I even tried doing a reset by pressing the cammera + power button and reset. That's where I am right now and I do have the 4 color screen.
The phone charges ok and when I connect the cable I can see the icon on the battery.
Any suggestions?
Thnx
May the fire wall is making trouble?
Please close the fire wall and try again?
No it's not that.
What I end up doing was going to my niece and get her connector from Tytn. If I plug the connector into my cable it works. But the cable by itself didn't. So I suspect my plug is going soon. Any suggestions who fixes this? I know it's under warranty and HTC should fix it.
I have a strange problem with a HTC Touch PRO. Here is my problem:
- I insert the USB cable and the phone asks if I want to use mass storage or activesync
-the phone shows a connection on the screen
-The PC is not sensing anything, the activesync is not connected.
I think this problem appeared after I used a wrong usb cable...
Anyone knows anything what to try? or this is a hardware problem?
Did you select ACTIVESYNC?
There are 2 modes this phone can do..
1) Standard ActiveSYNC or
2) AS a MASS STORAGE DEVICE -like a flash drive...
You have to select ActiveSYNC to actually SYNC software/calendar, else it will show up as just another drive to drag/drop files..
Yes i did it in every way and the computer is not sensing the connection with the phone.
Anyone know what kinf of hardware is responsible for the connection with the pc?

The problem is likely with your operating system on your pc.
You can try things like, un-installing the HTC usb driver in device manager.
Check your firewall.
- allow activesync for trusted
- I know for ZoneAlarm you have to go to the adapters section and set the ipaddress (a new one is created when your phone is hooked up via USB) to be trusted.
If that doesn't fix issue perhaps its a corrupt install of ActiveSync. Try uninstalling and reinstalling.

I've had this happen to me. I've got so many USB to mini-USB cables and they are not all alike.
Sometimes, it would work and sometimes activesync would not recognize it.
CHANGE YOUR CABLE to another. Hopefully, you've labeled the original cable that came with the phone..
(also, look at the mini cable where it plugs into your phone. Make sure there are no loose pins and/or verify that the 'plug' is level.
Try a different USB port
Try unchecking "use advanced network configuration" in Async settings on the phone. Some computers (for various reasons) have a hard time communicating with the phone when it's configured as a network device - unchecking this will often allow Async to find and connect to the phone, at the expense of some other functionality.
coincendentally i am having the same exact issue, it started last night.
i have tried 3 different cords, on all 3 usb ports on my computer. same thing the phone asks what kind of connection i want whether i select disk drive ofr active sync noting happens. whats weird is that the phone is charging when its connected however the computer is not seeing it at all.
i have tried all the recommendations in this thread but nothing is working. anymore help would be greatly apprciated!
Me too I have tryed everything but none is working.
I think that this a hardware problem, and the problem started to happen after i used a non HTC cable, bad quality. I think some kind of controller is dead. So i started to live with that
When I connteced to the PC via USB, my TP also asked me how to connect (AS or as disc). But suddenly it doesn't ask anymore. I had to deactivate "advanced network configuration" to conntect to AS.
The checkbox "ask each time USB connects" is activated.
What can I do that the phone asks again when I connect it?
Thx.
I have the same thing going on... suddenly a few days ago my fuze only charges when I plug it in the desktop with a usb cable... I re-flashed and it worked about halfway through a sync and then started again... I've tried different cables... uninstalled all of the usb drivers, and reinstalled then updated them... Disconnected the power supply... tried every setting on my phone, and in windows.... I've even uninstalled the last batch of windows updates that came out last week... nothing seems to work...
really simple solution.
decheck advanced network config. plug in cable wait till you see usb connected. a small box. after that choose for example activesync
internet share
This happened to me last night and I figured out that after you toggle your internet sharing you can sync up again. Idk why it works out like that but it worked for me.
This sound reasonable, because the last thing I did before was selecting the "internet sharing" option in the menu when you connect to USB.
But what do you mean with "toggle your internet sharing"? Can you please describe it.
Thx.
try this
okay - first see if you're getting an active connection with your pc , not from the network connections window, but by running mymobiler. I was getting a connection through mymobiler, but active sync wasn't recognizing the device. If mymobiler works, Call your phone. it will drop your connection with mymobiler when you answer the call. then hang up the phone call. (all the while leaving your cable plugged into your phone. When the call has been disconnected your activesync will recognize the connection and sync up again. I don't know why this works, but I've been able to duplicate the results several times.
Same htc ****+ wm. Bought an iphone 3g. Everything must be tuned in windows mobile! It doesn't work how it should!
None of this seems to be working... I've even flashed new roms and it stops working halfway through the sync... it doesn't even appear as though windows recognizes the device... it makes no noise or pop-up when I connect it...
Still charges though... Don't know what is going on...
Reinstall Mobile Device Manager!

I've experienced this issue multiple times, as I use my TP to sync with many stations. The solution is way more simple than you think and it has nothing to do with cables!.
You probably use Win Vista so all you need is to uninstall "Windows Mobile Device Center", restart the PC and install a fresh copy from MS site.

If you're on XP, do the same with the Active sync solution for XP.
Good luck!
yeah this happens to me every now and then. the advanced network configuration option really helps, but sometimes i just need to plugin/unplug the usb cable from teh phone/cable or cable/computer a couple more timesbefore it picks it up...
goodluck!
I was able to update my phone last night to NoDo, and now I'm coming across a strange issue that I would like to know if anyone else is running into. When I plug my phone into mylaptop (using the same cable and same port as before the upgrade), Windows and Zune detects my phone is connected, and begins to sync my content. However, it gets to about 1% synced and then displays an error message about how the connection timed out. Yet, if I use WiFi Sync, my phone begins syncing, however it is taking forever.
Now, I do have a Kingston 32GB Class 4 MicroSD card installed, and the reg hacks to disable Power Management. I tried removing them and rebooting. Then re-adding them and then rebooting. No change in behavior. What I did notice was that as soon as the screen goes to sleep, a few seconds after that the message appears. Yet if I wake the screen, the Battery icon shows that the phone is still plugged in.
Can anyone else who has a similar setup as mine confirm if they experience this behavior?
So am I the only one?!?
You may want to post this in the Samsung Focus forums. I'm a Focus owner too but I'm not using a SD so I wouldn't know.
For whatever it's worth, I haven't run into any Wi-Fi Sync issues yet. Have you tried a different USB cable or a different USB port? Sometimes it can be as simple as that.
I don't have any WiFi Sync issues, other than it's slow. Looking at the throughput, I'm maxing out the bandwidth for 802.11g anyhow. I wish MS would enable 802.11n on our phones.
I tried connecting my phone to my desktop, and I was able to sync an MP4 video (over 1GB in size) with no problems. And using the very same cable I was using with my laptop. So, something is wrong with my laptop, and off to investigate it. It appears my issue isn't related to NoDo at all.
you hack your phone, sometimes you get bugs.

I had the same problem before NoDo, IMO it is related to USB ports. My guess is if you have all your USB ports in use, or even a device that draws a lot of power, it causes the transfer to be interrupted. I have my notebook on a cooling pad that draws power from a USB port, when I have it plugged in Zune transfers fail. When I unplug it transfers complete without problems.
I had the exactly same issue on all usb ports on my pc at home, where i connected the phone pre nodo(did the update from work)
My guess its a windows problem something that messes up the Zune Sync Driver. You can notice the issue with different usb port also with your mouse, if you de an re connect to the same port no driver installing happens, if yo de and re connect to a port where it never was before, some installation happens. Issue should be some where in there.

I agree with Phoneguy. I think it's your port. I've had syncing problems as well. I have never got the error you're tlking about. But I would have to keep plugging and unplugging phone to get it recognized. My issue I believe is with the mini usb connection. All of my phones (Tilt,Tilt 2,3125,8525) had a problem with the mini usb becoming loose, which makes syncing and charging a pain in the ass.
I almost had the same issue, but if your phone is hacked then it is obvious that there are bugs
Same situation. After Nodo, my focus just syncs for 20-30 sec average and then i have to unplug it and reconnect it several times to get 100% of the syncing done. Help appreciated. Thanks
i have the same exact problem. i have a focus with a 16gb sd card. so 22 gig total.
before nodo, i was able to fill the whole 22gb.
now, the sync problems starts when I hit 8 gig of TOTAL SPACE USED. Aka when the sd card is needed since I have 8 gig onbard my Samsung Focus.
I have some usb devices connected to the pc, i will disconnect everything and try again. ill update this post with the result.
