I've been using Activesync 4.1 (on WinXP Pro) with WM5 (1.60c) with no problems for the past month on my imate (Himalaya). I was able to sync via USB, BT, and IR. Suddenly, syncing through USB (Cradle) no longer works! I can sync fine via BT and IR, but when I try to sync via USB, here is what happens:
* Placed imate on cradle
* PC network detects this and provides IP address for USB. At this time, I can ping the imate. Activesync (AS) detects the imate and and the AS icon in the PC's toolbar turns green and starts to rotate
* AS says "connecting"
* imate neither says or shows anything (i.e. NO moving or rotating arrows on top bar near signal strength icon, as would be expected during sync).
* Activesync on imate also shows that it is NOT connected and shows info about last sync date and time
* when I press the "Sync" button on AS in imate, it shows "connecting" for a split second, then goes away, but that does not help.
* Every now and then, a popup window says "Unable to Obtain a servier assigned IP address....", even though I made sure that the Remot-NDIS Host network adapter uses "Server assigned IP" addresses (and it shows 169.254.2.1) and pings fine. Actually, this message popped up all the time when syncing through USB when it was working with no problems.
*It stays in this state indefinitely, or until I remove imate from cradle
Here is what I did to troubleshoot (Believe me, AS 4.1 has been a headache that caused me many long hours, days and weeks to solve. I had that dreaded 85010014 error that took weeks to resolve, so I was prepared to do all kinds of things to troublshoot this, but to no avail. I searched many forums, including this one, and googled to no end before writing this post):
* Although it was working with my e-trust firewall before (had it set up to OK all activesync programs), I turned it off just in case.
* Although it was working with my e-trust Antivirus before, I turned off realtime montoring just in case.
* On the imate, I made sure that the Remot-NDIS Host network adapter uses "Server assigned IP" addresses (and it shows 169.254.2.1)
* I pinged imate, and it responds fine
* I checked on my PC under "Network Connections" and it shows a Local Area Network for the Windows Mobile-based device
* I checked my PC hardware and found Windows Mobile-based device and is working properly
* I made sure that both AS on the PC and imate have the USB syncing option checked
* I exited XCPUscaler and unchecked PPC Profiles Pro from Today screen
* Doubting that this had to do with application of Darren Humphries' Activesync tweek, I reverted it back to default (see below).
* I unistalled the "Windows Mobile-based device" under Network Adapters, restarted PC, then re-attached imate.
* I unistalled the "Windows Mobile-based device" under Network Adapters, restarted PC, uninstalled Activesync 4.1 on PC, restarted PC, removed AS folder in program files, looked for rapi.dll (did not find it), deleted activesync related entries in registry, restarted PC, removed partnership from imate, soft-reset imate, reinstalled AS4.1, then attached imate to cradle.
* Basically, I did everything that was suggested so far, short of reinstalling WinXP on my PC or hard resetting the imate
Believing that AS should not suddenly stop working on its own (not sure if this is a valid belief!), I retraced my steps to see what changed since the last USB sync. Here are the changes (note: there were no WinXP updates made during that period):
On imate:
* Installed XCPUscaler
* installed PPC Profiles Pro (Brett Darnell's)
* Installed Toe's ScreenRotate Fix
* Installed MS Voice Command
* Applied Darren Humphries' performance tweek as follows: "In order to stop Activesync from periodically starting on it's own. To do so open Activesync on your WM5 device and tap on Menu>Add Server Source. Add any info to create a fake server sync. After that is complete go to Menu>Schedule and change the two dropdowns to "Manual" and tap "ok" at the top right. You can now go to Menu>Options and delete the Exchange Server setting you just added. Now Activesync will not start when you cradle your device."
Could it be a hardware issue, i.e. USB connection on the imate connector not working (if so, then why would I be able to ping the imate with no problems through USB?). Please let me know if I am missing something.
Thanks!

Just to help isolate the problem, I installed AS 4.1 to another WinXP machine and attached the USB cradle connector to it. Same problem. Hence, it does not seem to be a PC issue.
So far, it seems to be isolated to either the imate or the cradle (and cable). Note that the PC recognizes the USB connection and does the networking thing just fine, hence the cradle should be OK (is there a way to check the USB connection on the cradle to make sure it is OK?). Pinging also works both ways and I see the 169.254.2.1 address on teh imate. So, the problem does not seem to be the connection. Rather, it seems to be with Activesync on the imate realizing that the imate is cradeled.
Recall that one of the changes to the imate I made right before this problem was the AS hack of a fake Exchange server so that the schedule is changed to "Manually", as described in my first post. I reverted back to original "every 5 minutes" but the problem persists. Are there registry keys that I can compare to make sure registry is correct? Note that I can sync fine with BT and IR and both of these have entries in AS Menu that say "connect via IR..", etc. in order to connect manually, but no "connect via USB" manual option.

I had a problem very similar to this.. it only appeared with 'guest' and no partnership..
Turned out my calendar/contacts file was corrupt.

Activesync 4.1 USB Issue (more info but still _not_ solved.)
Thanks for the suggestions and comments. I refrained from responding before I performed a thorough (re)investigation. I have the following updates: I just received a boxwave minisync retractable USB cable for my imate/XDAII/Himalaya to test out the theory whether the cause of the problem was a cradle problem (i.e. applied process of elimination on hardware). Unfortunately, the problem still persists. I can now safely eliminate the possibility that it was the cradle from my previous investigations. Therefore, I decided (having done all the investigation above) that it must be either of the following culprits:
A. Himalaya hardware
B. Himalaya software
I tackled the hardware issue (A) first: I checked the functioning of the USB hardware: My logic dictates that if I can connect the Himalaya to a PC using USB and conduct functions through that connection, then the USB hardware should be OK (except for perhaps any hardware switches or pin grounding the flat connector on the other end of the USB cable makes that activate the Himalaya onboard activesync program, as discussed below). So, I performed the following tests (some are repeats of what I already tried and wrote, just for good measure):
1. Connected Himalaya to my laptop (call that “PC1”, since recall that I tested on two separate PCs) via USB cable. It detects it fine and goes through the hardware detection and driver install process, creates a network adapter and connection and provides an IP address for the USB connection (169.254.0.1 for Himalaya and 169.254.0.2 for PC1). At this time, I can ping the Himalaya. ActiveSync (AS) on PC1 detects the Himalaya and the AS icon on the PC's toolbar turns green and starts to rotate, as before, but no reaction from Himalaya.
2. Every now and then, a popup window says "Unable to Obtain a servier assigned IP address....", even though I made sure that the Remot-NDIS Host network adapter uses "Server assigned IP" addresses (and it shows 169.254.2.1) and pings fine. Actually, this message popped up all the time when syncing through USB back when it was working with no problems, so not sure if this is an issue (it wasn’t before).
3. On the Himalaya, I made sure that the Remot-NDIS Host network adapter uses "Server assigned IP" addresses (and it shows 169.254.2.1). I pinged the Himalaya from PC1 and PC1 from Himalaya, and the responses are fine both ways. This tells me that USB connection hardware must be working, otherwise, I would not have been able to pass ping packets back and forth.
4. I went one step further (just to be sure) and downloaded and installed Softik’s Card Export II v2.10 (yes, this version supports WM5, a nice piece of software). In “Card Export mode”, I connected Himalaya to PC1,which detected it as a USB Mass Storage Device, as it should. It installed the drivers and it worked just fine! I wanted to make sure that I am getting USB speeds, so I benchmarked the connection and got over 3Mb/s transfers from PC to SD card, steady. This tells me that at least USB, as a connection, is OK.
5. So, only thing left is to eliminate any possibility of a hardware issue, I looked into the Himalays flat connector pinout diagram. To simplify, the following are the pins relating to USB (excluding any grounds):
13 USB_VDD
14 (or 15) UDC+
15 (0r 14) UDC-
For those who are not familiar with the Himalaya flat connector, “UDC+” and “UDC-“ are USB data pins. “USB_VDD” is the USB power pin. USB_VDD when powered wakes up Himalaya and activates onboard activesync. I thought perhaps if this pin were defective, Activesync on the Himalaya would not activate. I assume that this pin is where the Himilaya gets its battery charge current when connected via USB, as pins 20-22 are “V_ADP”, which are used for charging only when connecting to a wall or car charger (please let me know if this is an invalid assumption). Hence, I wanted to check to see if the battery indeed charges through USB. I saw that when Himalaya was connected via USB, the battery charged just fine (light goes solid amber, battery monitor says “Charging”) and it charges the battery fully as expected.
With the foregoing, I can conclude that the problem is very unlikely hardware related (as in A, above). Since I already eliminated a PC problem (I checked on another PC with different hardware/software, as described in my first post), the only thing left to investigate is a software problem on the Himalaya itself. This is where I look for the developers in the forum to provide expertise: My analysis tells that when the Himalaya is connected via USB and the PC Activesync shows “Connecting”, while the Himalaya shows nothing, that the Himalaya is behaving as if it were not connected to USB, or is ignoring the USB connection, i.e. in Himalaya Activesync, under “Menu””Connections …”, as if the box next to “Sychronize all PCs using this connection:” is not ticked or the drop down list is not set to “USB”. I checked and unchecked this box and chose other connections (such as various serial speeds), just to see if this would change some persistent setting and set it back, with soft resets in between, but to no avail. Is there a registry setting that I can check to see if this setting is doing the correct thing? If so, where is it? It is here where my investigation trail runs thin and is where I am looking for insight in the matter. Appreciate your input….
Active Sync 4.1 on WM5
I had the same problem after upgrading to WM5 on BA (Xda iis)
But I finally found the resolution for this problem
If you can not sync with your USB try this:
go to the properties of the My Network Places
Plug in you device and you will see a new network connection
On the properties page on the new connection you will see that the internet protocol (TCP/IP) is not checked
Select the TCP/IP checkbox an then apply changes
The USB will start connecting to the device.
@kj
i have the same problem as yours sinds yesterday.
i think i happend just right after i've cleart the duplicate enteries from the events database. (check notification/scarybear)
do you use some sort of databse cleaner software?
for the record i've tryed with htc wizard (wm5) and htc himalaya with wm2003. when i sync with the himalaya then is everyhing fine. the wizard have the same problem as yours.
Re: Activesync 4.1 USB Issue
Thx all for the replies.
@ISR: Verified that TCP/IP was already checked. Note that if that was not checked, I would not have been able to ping the device. I really doubt this is a PC issue, although I realize that most people had problems with their PCs and Activesync (I checked this with 2 separate PCs with completely different configs, one with no virus checker or firewall). The problem is most likely the software on the Himalaya. When you say yours had the same problem as mine, do you mean that you were able to ping pckets through USB both ways, sync through BT, but when syncing through USB, only Activesync on the PC shows "Connecting" with nothing going on on teh Himalaya (most people have the opposite problem due to firewall and other TCP/IP issues)?
@Badboy18: No, I don't use a database cleaning software, unless one of the softwares installed on the imate already does so in the background. Same question to you as with ISR: When you say yours had the same problem as mine, do you mean that you were able to ping packets through USB both ways, sync through BT, but when syncing through USB, only Activesync on the PC shows "Connecting" with nothing going on on the Himalaya (most people have the opposite problem due to firewall and other TCP/IP issues)?
hi all,
just to add to the defferentes experience well, I've got as well a xdalli and i did use it with activesync 3.8;so when i bought the exec I installed the as 4.0,after that I did remove all the activesync with ther regestry key and defferent folders on the pc;fraiche install again ,well all the step donne by kj
and now I got thise message came as <to synchronise this device,you must install activesync 4.0 or higher on your desktop computer> ?????
and on the pc i've got AS 4.1.0(build 4841)!!
some times when I restart the pc and do a soft reset on the exec ;it does connect as guest????..sometimes :x :x
and the xdalli still can do a parternership with the pc even it's AS4.1,were in the forum it's normaly has to be with AS 3.8???
I believe very much the probleme is in the activesync software put on the xda exec (sry i'm not very technical to try defferentes things;it's just suggestion) thx for u everybody to try to get this exec to sync just dont give up

I had this problem. Try config manually this:
In Settings/Connections/Network Cards :
Select Remote- NDIS Host ----> Use specific IP addrees
IP address = 169.254.2.1
Subnet mask = 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway: 169.254.2.2 or 169.254.2.1
I have this config and it is working now.
In your PPC Select In : My Network card connects to : "The Internet" and the same should be selected in your PC ActiveSync ---Connections Settings ---This computer is connected to: "The Internet".

Thx for suggestion. I tried that before, and again just now, but it did not work. As mentioned before, I can ping fine both ways, which tells me that DHCP worked and provided correct IP address for communication. Basic hunch is that the problem is with the device, i.e. Activesync on the _device_ ignoring the USB connection. All other software I tried that use the USB connection (whether pure USB, or through the TCP/IP stack) work. So, I am zeroing on activesync on the device, but have reached a dead end, as I don't know which registry settings and processes spawn on the _device_ when activesync starts a USB sync (perhapsone of them is not running).

kj,
Similar problem. Hard reset, problem now gone. Have you tried HR option yet?
I was planning to do a hard reset, as a last resort (I mentioned once that I wanted to debug the hard way first!). I will do a HR only if you think the problem will go away with a data-persistent HR (WM5 feature), rather than a clean wipe. The reason is that if I am to do a clean HR, I would rather do that when a new ROM is around for an upgrade (as you know the Himlaya ROM development is quite active). If you think a data-persistent HR would rectify this, please elaborate as to what options to choose with bootloader to make that possible.
Thanks!
I'm able to sync but I get the stupid "Unable to obtain IP..." via USB.
Everything is setup correctly and sync works, but the message is anoying and without a cause.
I used eramosipn solution - fixed IP - problem gone. Thanks dude!
I guess something is broken in the registry.
I sync with 2 different PC's and this problem occured on on both. Since the beggining I know this is a PPC problem. Just don't know what to correct.
Anyhow, with the fixed IP the stupid annoying message is gone.
Where can we found the correct registry settings related to USB activesync?
Activesync and Firewalls
I have a personal firewall in my pc (sygate).
I upgrade to windows 2005, everthing was fine.
Someday stop working.
After research I find that if I disable the Sygate Firewall service ( In Control Panel) it starts working.
Can this be the case for you?
Do you have any firewall in you system (including xp firewall)?
Try to disable or uninstall.
Hi
I am not sure if will help anyone but her goes.
Upgraded SPV M1000 to WM 2005 most recent 1.71a 64.
Upgraded desktop Windows XP and Company Lap with activesync 4.1.
I now have 3 different reactions from activesync.
1. No problems with Home desktop (outlook 2003 running in none exchange server mode).
2. Will not sync with comany laptop (Outlook in exchange server mode) while working at home offline (not connected to company server).
3. No problems to sync with Company Latop (Outlook in exchange server mode) when working online to company server.
Anybody found away to solve instance 2?
Thanks Mike
MTU problem?
I cannot recall where I read this, and cannot find any references via Google except for Sygate firewall MTU issue, but I did read somewhere that Activesync 4.x defaults to an MTU size of 8000 while the USB TCP driver starts having problems above 5000.
I used DrTCP to set the MTU much lower for every Windows Mobile Device interface (you will get one created for each independent USB port to which the Pocket PC is or has been connected). Currently I am at 2048 and connectivity for my Universal is much better than it was, although still far from reliable.
Hope this helps!

Hi.
I'm using the TP for quite some time now without too much hassle, but one thing annoys me.
For a few days the selection menu is gone when you connect your TP to USB. Normally it pops up a screen to select ActiveSync, FlashDrive or Internet Sharing mode.
Now, it just uses the last selection and I've never switched on the "Don't ask me again" button.
I've found the USB to PC settings which do about the same, but even if I switch on "Ask about connection type when I connect" it just doesn't. And then, I like the TouchFLO popup better.
Anyone a suggestion on how to get the selection screen back?
Thanks a bunch!
If you go to parameters, connexion, Usb parameters, you need to activate :
- Activesync (synchronise with Outlook)
- Activate the functionnality advanced netwerk
- Ask the type of connexion when connected
Same here.
im too afraid to tick the dont ask again box insase i cant find it again. it does sometimes not appear though
Perhaps the USB cable you use is not optimal.
Do you try also with the original one??
As strange as the menu disappeared, it was there again yesterday all of a sudden.
It appears "fixed" but I must agree, it doesn't show every time... Definately...
hello everyone,
I cannot get Activesync to recognize my htc touch pro no matter what i do,... i've uninstalled and reinstalled shut everything off then on, followed all of MS's advice, and nothing works,...
Any suggestions,...? No problems connecting my tytn II and my hermes,...
thanks,

Are you running any firewall software? If so, this is relevant to you.
start>>settings>>connections>>usbtopc>> un check the "enable advanced network functionality"
sorry attnoob, was trying for your quick fix, but it didn't work,... thanks anyway,... now will go to the firewall issues noted above, but i already opened the ports as per ms's recommendations in help,...
will try other suggestions and get back to you,...
ok, so allenh, read all the info at the link you sent me, and actually did all these things yesterday, but it didn't work,... also, something strange happens when i hook the device to the PC in that, the device immediately goes to the 'internet sharing' program you use when tethering, it establishes a connection with the internet, and there is a comments saying 'check usb cable connection' and this never happened with the tytn II,...
your help is appreciated,...

Check the USB cable
It seems the USB cable the Tilt uses and the one the Raphael/Fuze use are different, If i use the cable that i usued with my tilt the computer would not recognize the Fuze it will charge it though, only if i use the usb cable that came with the Fuze it works fine.
Are you using the stock ROM or a cooked ROM. Some of the new cooked ROMS are having this problem.
Also, are you using Vista or XP. The problems seem to be with XP.
my fuze seems to also be having this issue... i can hear my laptop do the little noise saying something is attached but my phone never pops up with the screen anymore asking what i would like to do. sometimes i get lucky and it will randomly connect to active sync but would not give me any warning whether it was going to work or not.
btw, it didnt start doing this until i flashed NATF's v2.1 and also loaded a custom theme and toolbars and such.... it worked after i loaded NATF's rom, just randomly stopped at some point after that.
if you are putting on a new rom then put the phone in bootloader mode it worked for me

My Fuze is doing this too, excep every single time. I can't get Activesync to work through USB. And I'm running the stock ROM. Internet Sharing automatically connects.
Okay, I set Internet Sharing to Bluetooth PAN (instead of USB), which kept it from automatically starting when I plugged in the USB. This let ActiveSync and the 'choose a connection type' startup on my Fuze and everything has been fine.
Try your PC Network settings
Hi,
I have the same problem recently. My AS does not want to recognize my Raphael. What I did was go to the network setting of the PC (Network Connections) and disable the 1394 adapter. Then my AS now can recognize my Raphael. The next unsolved thing is how to make the connection stable enough to make happen the syncing.

Hi, I had similar problem. Once upon a time the connection between my Touch Pro (WM6.5.3) and PC stopped working. Activesync did nothing and after a minute gave error message with troubleshoot guide. So I opened control panel ---> device manager (with mobile connected via USB), where I found "Windows mobile based device" between network adapters. I opened it and under it's advanced settings I found "network address" which was set to "unavailable". So I changed it to 192.168.2.2 and now it works again ;-)
Hope it helps someone ;-)
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 haven't plugged my fuze into any PC's for a couple of months - last time I did it was with a Windows 7 machine and it worked fine....
Well - now I'm trying to get the thing to sync with an XP machine. When I plug it into the usb, I see the fuze is charging - but activesync never comes up and nothing on the pc indicates that is saw me do this.
I've tried with 3 different XP machines here today - and none of them realize I've plugged anything in when I connect my fuze?
Soo...must be something with my fuze? Anyone have any ideas?
Only thing I saw was in settings/connections/usb to pc
there is an option for "enable advanced network functionality" - which I have disabled.
FYI I'm running WM 6.5 on it....
All previous reports of this issue ended with bad USB port on Fuze but you may want to search and read a couple of the threads first.
Interesting.
I can't seem to find any of these treads - can you point me to any?
Seems rather odd that if the port was bad that the phone would still charge though....
Let me ask you this, you say that you changed your PC to USB settings to Enable Advanced network functionality, I thought this setting was in Active Sync. USB to PC setting should be to "enable faster data transmission". Have you played with both settings?
Here is one recent thread and I know I saw another that mentioned the device would charge but not sync.
Here are many more threads regarding AS issues.

I'm using WM 6.5 - and there I see:
settings/connections/USBtoPC
..that brings up a window which has settings on the behavior of the device when you connect it to a pc via USB. The options are to a) ActiveSync or b) DiskDrive
If you select a) ActiveSync you can "enable advanced network functionality"
There is also an option at the bottom that will cause it to ask which connection type to use when you connect.
I've tried all possible combinations - my pc does nothing when I connect, but I *do* see the fuze charging...freakn strange!
Have you tried to connect through an emulator like MyMobiler?
Its most likely a driver issue on your phone.
Hate to say it but.....
If all else fails, Hard Reset, flash back to stock ROM (if you've flashed a cooked ROM) and this should restore the corrupt driver.

MyMobiler uses activesync to connect so that won't really be of any help at this point...
I was considering doing a hard-reset - but MAN I have about 140 apps installed and configured so I really hate doing that. What would be nice is if I could just find the driver and try that.
So that I suppose is my next question - anyone got the driver? hahaha
I use Pocket Controller which can use an IP address instead, I assumed MyMoblier was similar.
Copy the enclosed .dll to your windows directory using something like total commander because it is a cooked in system file. It still may not allow it though.
You should also look into Sashimi restoral program, as it is not uncommon to have to hard reset occassionally.
Good luck!
Is a firewall blocking it?
Each time I want to sync my Fuze, I have to disable my firewall. For some reason, even when I open the correct ports, my Fuze will not sync to Windows Mobile Device Center on my Vista Ultimate (32-bit) laptop.
Once it connects, I can turn the firewall back on and everything works fine. New and changed items will continue to sync until the Fuze is disconnected from laptop.
You may have already checked this and/or things may be different with XP and AS, but since I didn't specifically see it in the post, I thought I would throw it out there.
Bad cable???
I decided to try a different mini-usb cable and it worked.
Here is what is strange though - the bad cable:
1. Still charges the phone when connected to a PC
2. Works fine with my external 500gig USB hard drive (which also is powered via the cable)
3. ...but no computers see the phone with this cable - or see it as a storage device.
Because of #1 and #2 above - I assumed the cable must be good. I had another cable so I figured I'd give it a shot - and sure enough with this cable it works with all the computers.
I guess there must be one bad pin or something with the cable - or something??? Guess it must use different ones than the external hard-drive apparently.
Oh well - at least it works and rather it be a $2 cable than my $200 phone...hahaha
Thanks everyone for the suggestions....
For what it's worth if anyone stumbles across this post in the future, I had a similar issue happen where it would bring up the usb menu on my fuze when you plug it in, but the computer wouldn't see it.
I had recently swapped the display/touchscreen, and it was one of the strips of metal ground/shielding tape inside the thing being mispositioned that did it.
Put it back together with everything in the right place and boom! works.
If you've taken the phone apart, those pieces of shielding tape are very important to get back exactly like they were, I've also seen lcd issues from it.
