Everytime I browse the files that are in my memory card of my pocketPC phone the windows explorer behavior is odd.
For example - when i click on a picture (locatsed on my card) i don't see it, it just shows a property screen insted.
Another example is when i copy files from pocket-pc to pc i dont see the files on my pc (the other way around works)
anyone know why is that?
This is the default behavior if you're browsing files in the PPC with Activesync. Use WM5Storage to turn your PPC into a flash drive and then browsing will be normal.
thanks for the prompt reply - unfortunately it doesn;'t work on my i780.
the PC seemed to recognize it but i don't get a new drive to browse the files on My Computer (running windows xp)
Under Settings | Connections make sure you have 'Enable advanced network fuctionality' unchecked.
it was unchecked.
Now after playing with th program- i cannot even hot sync...blah, nothing works.
under activeSync-->Connection i have only blanks.
Isn't this app the same as enabling USB Mass storage under the USB Connection shortcut?

Yes. In that case uninstall WM5Storage and us that option to turn your PPC into a flash drive for PC. By the way, using WM5Storage you can switch between Activesync connection and USB Storage , the same as with that option provided in your ROM. The point is your PPC can eoither be flash drive or a PPC (Activesync, etc.) but not both at the same time.
Another thing you might want to check is that Windows sometimes doesn't assign a drive letter to a new flash, so you must go into CONTROL PANEL-ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS-COMPUTER MANAGEMENT-DISK MANAGEMENT and manually assign an unused letter to that flash drive. This happens to me often.
thanks - i will give it a shot
Guys - bad news.
Now i can see my card as Mass Storage (after slected in USB Connection) but I cannot do activesync via the cable (only via bluetooth)
Anyone has a clue how do you restore my connection back - wm5storage have removed it from "activeSync-->Connection".
:-(

This is they way is supposed to happen. If you use your phone as a Mass Storage card reader, you CAN'T do Activesync and viceversa. I don't have that USB2PC setting, but I imagine if you un-select it you'll get back your normal Activesync function.

CardExport is the most reliable, but needs purchase.
WM5Storage is free, but you'll need to sign up at Modaco or you can't download it.
The third way is to completely turn off ALL syncing options in ASync (which I do - it will still let you connect), or connect as Guest (which I do in the office). This is easier, requiring no other setup, but the transfer speed's slower because the Async converter runs even if you tell it not to convert anything.
Already connected as guest, and disabled all syncing options
but smart2go maploader wont see the Orbit
I will have to try WM5storage
Thanks for assistance
Can i use internet connection from my PC (connected by cable - 512/64 speed) to surf on my mobile device?
I have c600, windows mobile 6.0, data cable ,...
on the other side i have cable net w. cable modem, speed 512/64, Windows XP SP2, Active Sync,...
if the answear is YES than can i split connection between PC and mobile.
(for example. 1/4of the speed uses mobile device and the rest for PC)
THX!
You should be able to as long as you had the option to do advanced network sharing (or whatever it's called) selected when you first mated the phone with the PC in ActiveSync. If you're not able to, delete the mating, and re-do it. You will see it - it's impossible to mate the phone without acknowledging this prompt (in ActiveSync v4.5).
As far as bandwidth sharing, I don't think you can split it up like that. The phone is using the PCs bandwidth, and I'm not sure if you can go into your routers settings to allocate bandwidth allocation. Why would you want to do that anyway?

another simple question.
Can i connect my phone by bluetooth or WiFi with PC and using PC internet connection to surf the internet on my mobile device which is in the same room as PC.
I have tried with cables (Active Sync connection) and surfing is perfect but im now going this way because it is easier.
Ok, I admit I am a total noob I have only had this phone a day and I was able to get it to sync with my computer last night. However, today when trying to sync I plug it in and activesync makes a sound like its recognized the device but does nothing and continues to say the device is not connected.
I am using the standard rom and have enabled data communications in the connections screen. I have tried hard and soft resets.
Please help me...
Also on a weird note it is detecting the device as a file drive but it has a ton of photos and music that I did not load onto the phone in the device folder. Also the mobile device folder is empty.
Thank you in advance.
Go to Start-> Settings -> Connections-> USB to PC and uncheck the "Enable advanced network functionality".
Connect your mobile to PC. It will be recognized (but not synch) by the ActiveSynch.
Then take it out and re-enable the "advanced network functionality".
Connect your mobile to PC agian and it will work again.
This works for me. It happened yesterday.
No go. Windows recognized it as an mobile device but activesync was still unable to connect to the device.
Also, when connecting the device as a disk drive I can see some apps i've installed in the program file, but it is still showing alot of items I didn't add. These files don't appear to be on the device. After deleting those extra files I tried to send new pictures to the device which would not transfer.
Any Ideas?
Hey!
Well I have the following problem, which is most annoying, since it disables me from transfering some things I need.
The deal is: Whenever I switch to Mass storage mode (connection to the PC), I can't transfer any files to my Omnia. When using the phone in this mode (while being connected to the PC), it becomes less responsive. When I use the computer and say.. try to transfer some files.. "My Computer" won't even open for me to access the mobile phone.
And when I switch to Active Sync, I can acces my storage card without any problems, transfer files, watch movies etc..
Now I've searched for a solution, but haven't come up with any, so please, help me out
Thanks!
So Can Someone Walk Me Thru The Steps To Install
Co0kie's Home Tab v1.7.1
To My Phone...I Connect The Phone And Am Lost From There So Please Go Into Detail =(
I do not think you can connect a windows phone to a Mac computer. They are not compatible.
What you can do instead is -
1.download the cookiehometab.cab file on your computer,
2.then send yourself an email that is linked to your phone and attach the .cab file.
3.dowload the attachment on your phone and then run it to install it.
That should be all you have to do.

You can download the apps to your computer, they will just be unrecognizable. Transfer them to your SD card through USB or Bluetooth, and then search it on your phone. This worked well for me. Quicker then DL them strait from your phone!
theres a software called "missing sync" for mac's. try searching for a torrent or unless you want to buy the program. but it works better than activesync in my opinion.
Moved as not software release.
I'm using a macbook to connect to my hd2 most of the time. No problems connecting at all.
Connect USB cable and connect as disk drive on HD2, Macbook sees hd2 sd card as disk drive. Just access the drive on your mac and transfer the file(s) to hd2 storage card.
Or, if you have set up a bluetooth connection between the mac and the hd2, use the mac's "sent file" option in the bluetooth menu.
After you get the file to your HD2 you can use the original installation instructions again.
The syncmate program works great for syncing your contacts etc. But had some trouble getting it to work through bluetooth. I use the USB for that. But than the phone has to be set to active sync mode.
(love my macbook pro, but hated the iphone hype and the restrictions hence the HD2)
