Does this work for anyone? I have tried on two different Roms so far (but i believe they use the same version of messenger) and I can't send or receive files whether its device to device, device to pc or pc to device.
Am I the only one?
bump 1 time to see if im the only one with this problem

Hello,
is there a possibility to exchange some files between my Orbit 2 and my Macbook (OS X 10.4)? I tried to use a computer-to-computer network but couldn't get it working. So can anyone help me please? Unfortunately I'm new to Apple and Windows Mobile. So please be very precise when you describe what I have to do (think about a DAU² ).
Ah yes: I don't want to synchronise anything (like adresses or so), just wanna exchange some music/videoclips via wifi (hope this is faster than bluetooth where I only get ~100kb/s). Thank you very much!
Hi, I have just started to use SyncMate which is free to sync my iTunes music library on my Mac with my TyTN II. It works really well but I have been using a USB rather than WiFi connection. The program does support WiFi though.
You can download the software from
http://blog.eltima.com/2008/01/sync-your-mac-and-a-smartphone-with-syncmate.html
Although this is sync software it should also be able to do what you want as you can Sync a folder on your Mac with a folder on your phone which will enable you to transfer files to and fro.
Good luck and be interested to hear if the WiFi sync works!
if boths were connected to the wifi router it would be a matter of setting up normal filesharing like between 2 computers
if otherwise one would have to do it as adhoc network
but i dont know how these things are handled on macs
on pc's it the pc sharing would have to be running the server service
and have the pda as a user with reading and writing rights
And BT ? or MissingSync
I have an old iMac and I made some ringtones. I sent them by BT with no problem. I dropped Syncmate cause I got some issues with the calendars and the contacts. MissingSync is perfect but not free. You can install whatever but you need a cable. Will try to check the WiFi
Yes, with bluetooth I managed to send some files. But speed was not that fantastic (~100kb/s). So I'll try to get it working with Wifi. Maybe speed there is better. I got my device recognized by the Macbook and an IP was sent to my phone but I don't know how to access to files. Unfortunately I have no time for the next two weeks to test it any further. Please post your efforts if you have success. Thanks!
So, I already got what I want (even better). I found the freeware MochaSoft FTP-Server. This software has to be installed on your PDA. It youses the FTP-Protokoll. Therefore it lets your PDA act as an FTP-Server. All you need then is an Internet Browser, which has an FTP-Client (for example Internet Explorer or you use the fireftp-extension for Firefox). Now you can access your PDA and exchange files via Wifi. Speed is much better than Bluetooth (~700kb/s read and 680kb/s write). The good thing is, that you aren't limited to the platform anymore. (I don't know if the standard Linux browser has an ftp-client, but my beloved Firefox has a Linux-Version too.)
P.S. @linux-users: Please don't kill me for my last sentence. I believe that linux is able to handle these things out of the box. It's more for us windows users to know that it's possible.
Hi, so I just got an HTC Fuze. I'm usually pretty tech savvy but apparently not with this. I can't get my phone synced with my computer so I got an SD card reader to transfer files. However I've got no idea how to install half of the apps I've downloaded. The single .cab files I understand. Just copy them over and run them on the phone. Even the .exe I got a .cab converter for but most of them come zipped with at least like 10 or way more files with one of the XML document setup things. Could someone please tell me what I do with these? The file types are always numbers and I just don't get it.
Also, if someone might be able to let me know why my computer won't recognize my phone that would be greatly helpful. It's a 32 bit Vista. I've got Windows Mobile Device Center on but the computer calls my phone an unknown device. I feel like I've tried a hundred different things but it just won't work. My phone is running TAEL ROM does this have anything to do with it?
Thank you!
Hi. I have a Mac & running on operating system OSX 10.6.6 and will be purchasing the Galaxy S 4G soon. I need to know if anyone on here know or has in fact synchronizing the Galaxy S with their Mac and if yes how compatible/synchronized the Galaxy S 4G is with Mac computers? Please write me if you can help clear my last question before making a purchase on this super cool phone.
I don't have an issue with my GS4G and 10.6.6. When I plug up my phone I can move files to and from the sdcard. I also have pdanet running with no problems. However, it seems like everytime I connect the phone SAMSUNG_Android always says that it hasn't been setup in the network list. I have tried to look into that because it hasn't annoyed me enough. Anyways, it works just fine. So go head and make that purchase, phones great in my book.
It all depends on what you call "compatible"
Can you mount the SD card on the Mac? Yes
Can you run ADB on the Mac? I would assume so. (I use Linux)
Can you copy your Address Book contacts to a vcf file, copy them to your phone, then import then into the phone contacts? Yes
Does iSync work? NO
Apparently one of the few "functional" ways to sync any Android phone to a Mac is through Google calendar and contacts. I personally think that sucks and is pig-headed of both for about the same reasons.
I don't really want Google to have my personal information to that level, so I'm stuck until there is a reliable way to sync address and contact information with a Mac. There are some 3rd-party apps out there, but none have seemed to be reliable enough from the reviews and can be pretty expensive.
I'll probably resolve this in the end by running Calendar Server on Mac Server for other reasons, and I remember reading somewhere that Android could sync to non-Google CalDav servers.
Thank you all for your helpful notes please do keep me updated if any more info arise.
I trying to run Heimdall on my mac to flash a rom, but everytime i select all six files I get failed to start heimdall. its really annoying. Has anyone had any success with this procedure?
Has anyone else been able to get the bluetooth file exchange to work? I can connect to the phone and see the folder hierarchy, but no actual files are visible.
I just purchased an HTC Titan with mango. This device is incredible but I have a problem when I put a lot of data on it.
Initialy the Titan has 11.5 GB of free space. When I sync it (on Mac OS) with more than ~7.5 GB, the device reboots then the Windows Live and Google profiles (mail) are lost. After that I'm unable to recreate the Live account so I have to format it.
The shop told me that it was because I synchronised it with WP7 Connector on Mac OS. After a couple of days, the guy accepted to replace the faulty device with a new one.
So, I plugged my new Titan on my Windows 7 computer and I had the same problem.
The titan has been updated with the version 7740.16
Anyone of you has an idea to help me ?
I have a Titan which is constantly full of various media and other rubbish. I mean totally full, with 0Mb available (e.g. I have to remove podcasts manually to create space for new editions and often have a queue waiting).
I don't however have your problem. I use Zune on Windows 7 to sync.
Why don't you try syncing on a Windows machine to test whether Mac is a factor with this problem?
@nobut,
I sync my new device exclusively with Windows and I have the same problem. I did a lot of tests and the problem is not a specific file.
In that case all I can think is that it could be a setting on either your device, or in Zune which causes this.
Can you replicate the problem? I mean if you remove all of the files from your device, does this lack of functionality return? If the answer is yes, then there is a problem with your device. If the answer is no, then I honestly have no idea, but this is a weird problem which appears to happen only during, or after the syncing process... hence my thoughts about a setting which is causing the trouble.
It makes no sense to me though.
Yes, I'm able to replicate problem. I also tried to restore it to factory default.
I don't understand why I had this issue on 2 different devices with 2 different OS (Mac and 7).
So, the most logical answer is: the content I put in the device is the problem.
But it sounds crazy as the device doesn't crash every time on the same content.
That is one annoying problem. I can't think of anything you could try other than turning off sync altogether and moving stuff manually using Zune.
I sync stuff manually and subscribe to podcasts from the device, rather than from Zune. I haven't suffered your problem, but I didn't have this problem when I used to allow automatic syncing either.
I had a confirmation from HTC that this kind of problem exists for Mac Users. As my files are shared on a NAS, maybe my stuff is the problem because of the Mac OS hidden files. Anyway, thanx for your help

mmm, no. a file is a file is a file. if other devices can handle it, your phone should too. pushing 4Gb, 8Gb, or 200Gb should not make the phone restart, ever, no matter where the files come from.
@ohgood, I know that an I totally agree. But as the HTC guy told me, it's an unidentified bug with mac on the titan and I'm not the only one to have it.

Hi,
as a complete noob with smartphones in general and WP specifically. Nevertheless I somehow managed to install HSPL and then the HD2O Dynamics Custom ROM on my HTC Radar.
I configurated my device after installation and it works smoothly. However, all I did so far is connecting my Windows Live Account. It receives E-Mails when I am on the way and via Wifi connection when at home. This is great...
Now I want to do the next necessary steps in "usability". I guess that would be
connect device via USB to PC (Windows 7) and transfer files like Contacts (People), Pictures, Clips in either direction
use the device as storage (like an USB-stick)
I am not familiar with establishing connection or how "syncing" works with WP and W7. What I read is that "ZUNE" is the main syncing tool for that. The problem is, that I think in the last couple of weeks, Microsoft may have abandoned the idea of using Zune for this. Can someone confirm this? If yes, what is it now?
If I connect the Device via USB this is what Windows 7 shows me in the "Devices and Printers" Screen (see attch).
A click on the symbol just opens driver information but not a folder like a removable medium like an USB-Stick in Windows.
Also, I read since I use a Custom ROM, I shouldn't update via Zune (or its successor). Is this true? Would establishing connection with an official syncing tool "kill" my Custom ROM? (In other words: if I connect my Custom ROM device to the official sync tool, would it automatically start an update or only if I explicitly start the update process?)
I'd really appreciate any hints and tips.
Thx in advance!
Edit: after installing WMDC 6.1 and Zune, I now have a solid connection. Still, there's the question how far I can go there without automatically updating to Stock ROM (and therefor damaging my Custom ROM) via offical MS channels.
