Well, did a successful reflash from E650 to S710. Played with it a bit on my work machine thats Vista'ed. Now, i bring it home, plug it into XP machine and nothing...nada. ActiveSync 4.5 is installed (like 5 times over...). What gives ? Device is shown as connected in device manager.
*SORTED*
Disabled "advenced networking" thingamy in settings>connections>USB2PC and it started to sync as it was supposed to.
Before that tried to mess with firewalls, netlimiter, but that was not the problem apparently...

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 :

Thanks for your reply.
Hi,
I've got same problem till now, until I tried new WMDC 6.1 (in czech as well)

It was solved my problem with sync with error "Server is busy".
now I wait for Windows Mobile 6 Profesional
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!!
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).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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...

Ok, I've flashed my phone and now it seems to work with Octaivoi 6.3!!
Ok I am no newbie to this, but I am sick of the frustration that comes with this problem. I've had me TC for a couple months now and it will not be recognized with my PC. I've had this problem before.... deleting the partnership, changing the USB ports and settings, downloading the newest sync software, and shutting down the fire wall, yet nothing works. The only thing I can do is use Bluetooth, which is to slow to transfer files. I need some help here, because even backing up everything on the phone and doing a hard reset takes too long to restore what I have on it now.
try to unmark ->settings->connections->usbtoPC-> enhanced network functions.
sorry, i have a german one, so look for that function.
I have the same problem with my o2 xda orbit 2.
I found that if I turned off the bluetooth and wifi it connected ok but even that seems to have stopped working now.
I got it back
I shut off the windows firewall with Vista and it works every time now. This is odd since I always had it on before and never made a change to the settings. In fact once I had given permission for windows mobile center to run with the security I never had this problem before. All I can say is it is a serious pain to disable it every time I want to access my files on the phone.
the joys of activesync......
I'm running XP-Pro on both my home and desktop PC's
with my orbit 2 I have no problem connecting at home, but failed miserably at work (other than the first time after I'd installed activesync).
I'd concluded that it was my firewall settings (which are outside of my authority to alter) we're the cause of the problem and gave up.
What usually happens is an activesync connection is established (I alway click on cancel in the first box - because I don't want to sync files etc, just to be able to explore and install software), and then when I click on explore (after it says connected) it just hangs for a minutes or so, before disconnecting.
However, I hooked up my Orbit2 to my laptop in my hotel last night (to charge) and I noticed that I could explore. OK I thought, it was the firewall.
But then today I tried exactly the same thing, and we're back to the non communicating version.
Any ideas,
Any ways to force activesync into submission - even if just at the explore level?
Thanks
simple joys
Well Vista doesn't use active sync, but I'll try to give you what I have learned. First it always helps to have the latest version of the software. I'd delete active sync from the computer and end the partnership on the phone. The phone then says to hook it up with a computer to establish a connection. Before you do restart both. Download newest version from windowsmobile, install and restart again. Disable firewall and any antivirus ( it makes a difference ) and try to establish the new partnership. If that doesn't work sometimes the comm ports are wrong and you have to find out which your phone uses. Once I had a Moto Q9h unbranded that would not sync with USB no matter what I did from the start, but it would work with a bluetooth sync. That was the worst speed ever. Anyway Good Luck.
Thanks,
yes I am using the latest (for XP) active sync.
I also uninstalled it / re-installed it
I also deleted the profile
All to no avail
Virus / Firewall settings are locked on this laptop.
Same problem
I'm using vista, uninstalled and reinstalled the last version of ActiveSync, deleted the partnership and the phone does not not connect to the pc. I dunno what to do .
p.s. : firewall is off.
no sync with xp and vista
hi
I see that Im not alone...Isync my polaris with my personal pc (vista 32) and with my professional pc (xp pro).
my rom is Aserg (many rom tested before like Bepe....same PB)
its impossible to sync both pc. I have to erase partner ship each time I want to sync.
Im not sure, but I think that windows 61 is responsible. Is that possible ? thank you for helping me !

You said you updated active sync, but Vista doesn't use that program. You need to use Windows mobile device center. If you go to windowsmobile.com there is an update you can download that you install with the phone connected. That might work.

You have to delete every time, because once it is synced with one computer it establishes a relationship with that pc or laptop. The two operating systems use two different programs, but really the computers should have the partnership saved. I'm not sure if the phone can have two as well though.
just upgrade to vista business X64 SP1, it seems that it is not working with HD2, it shows autoplay when I connect it to my note book.
any advise from your guys?
Have you downloaded the latest version of Windows Mobile Device Center?
On your phone have you checked the USB to PC Connection settings? Is it set to Active Sync?
I have noticed that on Vista X64, when I sync, I have to make sure Activesync is NOT running on my device already when I plug it in. I go the task manager on my phone, and kill ALL applications, THEN plug it in. It takes longer than ActiveSync on XP did, but it eventually connects. Takes about 15-30 seconds for me in Vista X64 Ultimate, whereas on XP (other computer) it is instant, 3-5 seconds. Stupid Vista.
