Hi, first of all I'm having troubles connecting to Win7 shared folders. I can access those folders from my Vista and XP computer, but not (anymore...) from my Diamond. I tried both with Resco Explorer and with the Network Plugin, but after being asked the username/password (none provided, same as I did with Vista) I get an error and I cannot connect. Fact is, from the very same Diamond, I have no issues connecting to Vista (and XP) shared folders, only having problems with Win7. Tried deactivating any firewall/antivirus, set all the settings I had to (password-less file sharing, for example), even tried creating a homegroup (but WM doesn't support 'em, so it was quite useless). Anyone got experience about Win7 network compatibility with WinMobile 6.1?
Second thing, I've been looking for a background app which highten or lowers system volume based on speed (getting GPS infos, of course). Something like modern car hifi's have built-in, I mean... you brake, it lowers, you accelerate it goes louder. Something, of course, that may be settable, not to have no audio when still and earbraking noise when on the highway!
Is it something I shlould be requesting in general forum? Maybe WM/W7 question too? Thanks, but I really can't tell.
Up! No ideas? I cannot find a solution...

can i sync my xda2i and powerbook, tried to download activesync from microsoft on my mac, but it did'nt do anything.. don't know why
?
any ideas
activesync is a Windows program not an OS X program
If you want to sync the two you will need either a program called PocketMac or a program called MissingSync. Both are extremely buggy, are considerably expensive, have awful support, and can't do a fraction of the things that ActiveSync can.
I personally would only advise trying to sync a mac with a Pocket PC if you have the necessary tech skill, but others may disagree.
Personally I use MissingSync, which does the job but not reliably. [/url]
Has anyone been able to get ActiveSync to install in Virtual PC? On mine (VPC 7, Windows 2000) it always dies at 92% installed, and just stays there indefinitely (left it all night).
Hi All,
I have installed Vista business, then I installed SP1, and that is where my problems started.
The driver cache became corrupted, I've managed to sort that out however in the meantime I can't get my O2XDA (aka htc universal) connected.
The behaviour is thus.
Plug in PDA, new hardware found, and Vista installs the pocket pc usb adaptor, (well, I think it dose.. but do not see it in USB devices..) then vista tries to install the MS remote mobile adaptor, it finds a driver, but then barfs that the required registry key dose not exists.
I do have WMDC installed etc, and the update.
I have googled etc, but can't seem to find anything with similar symptoms, and MS are not being that helpfull, asking me to just disable everything and try again, new profiles etc etc..
I can see where this is going, but I really don't want to re-install Vista just for the sake of one thing not working (I've fixed everything else that SP1 screwed up...)
Many Thanks

Hi all
i have a problem.
its not related to only one pc but all windows xp machines ive used ( im not going down vista route at all).
nearly everytime i connect my phone/ppc to windows, it crashes, ie, i get the windows 32 process host or something has an error then the RAPC window with 1 minute countdown comes on and my computer crashes or restarts.
then if i connect my ppc, its fine.
its not only with 1 pocket pc, its with the 2-3 ive tried.
they all run windows mobile 6 or 6.1...
anybody have the same problem and know what to do? activesync 4.5, u can see the icon connecting and it has made the noise its found the pocket pc, then bam...
i couldnt find this topic anywhere in xda, dont know where else to look
Cheers
It is not the PPC's at all - rather incompatible hardware on your desktop, such as an installed dial-up modem or other network device.
I had similar difficulties back in time on a Dell desktop until I removed a special DS Sound Card. A friend of mine had similar problems until he removed - following my recommendation - his dial-up modem card.
You will have to figure out what device on your desktop causes this incompatibility - please: before plugging out anything, remove the installed drivers first!
oh man. they are both laptops. thats going to be tough to remove something/uninstall drivers - doable but its going to annoy me everytime i log in
Hmmm,
try running your pc in save mode and run only what is needed for ActiveSync to work - not a nice solution but at least you can determine if this is an incompatibility issue or not.
It's easier if I just post a link to the thread over at smartappsworld so I'm not stuck re-writing it all. http://smartappsworld.com/thread-t...-getting-error-692-hardware-failure-in-modem
I still have not been able to resolve these issues. Tethering worked without problems on my Q9M, but on the TP2 it gives me error 692 -There was a hardware failure in the modem - . Internet sharing isnt cooperating either. New hardware wizard in XP pops up for Generic RNDIS device. When I tried to feed it some drivers for Internet Sharing (pulled by another xda member in another thread here somewhere), XP gives me some bogus error about a missing entry in one of the .inf files that I pointed it towards. It doesnt specify which file, then it closes and there is a big yellow ( ! ) over Internet Sharing device in network devices (Driver not installed).
Thats a quick run through of the issues I'm dealing with. I really need this working as this is my only way to connect my PC to the internet. I live in boonie land where cable is nowhere in my neighborhood and dsl is too far to connect.
Yes I searched. I spent a great deal of time going through xda forums and Google... before I decided to post here. Thanks for anyones help in advance.

I have not had a problem tethering my tp2 with verizon using Win XP Pro x64, or XP home x86.
The way that works for me is:
Run the internet sharing program, Not the VZW access manager crap.
Tell it to connect
After it connects, then plug in usb from pc to phone
The pc recognizes it as another network connection
It gets its IPs and all no problems.
Open up your choice of browser and off you go.
I have never had to install drivers to do any of this, and also it doesnt use active sync when doing it this way.
hope this helps.
I pulled the internet sharing program out of the Windows folder (made a shortcut ). The problem is when I connect to the PC. The install new hardware wizard comes up for Generic RNDIS device. This is after I clicked "Connect" in IS. I have clicked cancel , then it says install failed, your new hardware may not work properly. IS disconnects and Activesync starts syncing. I tried it the first way , letting AS sync once then turning IS on, same problem.
I dont use VZ Access Manager. I was forced to uninstall that and Activesync when suddenly the PC wouldnt recognize anything while the phone was plugged in. After that, the phones internet wouldn't work either so I then had to restore the phone to factory defaults via a hard reset. After resetting, I found that 228 wouldn't program the phone. The next day I nearly took it in to VZW. tried 228 again and it worked finally. Got my phone internet back and I'm back to trying to get IS working. I didn't install VZAM, but I do have the USB driver installed.
Are there certain files that are needed on XP for this? I am still running 32bit XP Pro if that makes any difference. Service packs maybe? I'm up to the point where I'm about to go out and buy a WiFi card and try connecting it that way. Something Has to work here.
The generic RNDIS ( Remote Network Driver Interface Specification ) drivers are part of the ActiveSync install and are needed for TCP/IP between the PC and the phone.
Install ActiveSync.
Plug in the phone.
Don't cancel the New Hardware Found - let it install the drivers.
Set up a sync relationship with the PC if you like - not needed.
When you tell ICS to connect, it should drop any other connection to the PC (Hard Drive, Active Sync) and make the Windows connect sound. Then you should see the network negotiation icon in the System Tray as it sets up the internet sharing.
When I dont cancel New Hardware wizard, it doesn't find any drivers to install. This is if I let it search for drivers automatically, and after Activesync is installed. See what the problem is here? What should normally work, doesn't. Are there key files missing in the copy of Activesync that is included on the CD from VZW? What am I missing here? When I turn Internet sharing on, on the phone, it always says something like ''Check USB cable connection'' and it never changes. The hardware wizard never finds the drivers, and when I try to point it towards driver files, it says theres an entry missing and wont install.
Grr..if you read through the other thread link above, you know how long i have been trying to get it to work. Frustrating!!

I myself use WalkingHotSpots http://www.walkinghotspot.com/. It is 24.99 for a lifetime license and currently they allow you to use the license over and over when you upgrade your phone. I used it first when I had the Touch Pro and now I am using it with my TP2. It is a program that allows me to add up to 5 connections and use my TP2 as a Hotspot. Now of course it would requre you to have your TP2 connected and charging via wall outlet. But basically it will allow me to connect 3G using my WiFi. I just used it Tuesday night while at church to connect back to my business server and resolve some databases issues. My laptop was running at an excellent speed and I was online over 2 hours with no drop connections. The walking hotspot website says that it will not work with Verizon but I can personally say that it does. I do not have the Internet connection software installed on my TP2 so I am going all WiFi for my connection. I added a password and name for my Walking HotSpot so no random joe could just drive by and conect lol and I was up and running in about 10 minutes. They don't offer a free tiral but you can try it for 1 month for 6.99 and if it doesn't work you will not have wasted 25.00. Just choose to use it for a Touch Pro and you should be able to get the download. I have had it over a year now and it has come in very handy especially when I go home to visit Mom as she has no internet and walking hot spots runs my husband's laptop and mine without any issues. So whatever you ultimately do I hope you get it worked out
WMWifiRouter
I use WMWifiRouter on my phone for internet sharing. It works great. This may be an alternative for you.

(the site appears to be down at the moment)
I just loaded a program called PdaNet and was really amazed at how easy it was to install. Hooked up on Verizon @ 2.4mbps - actually faster than my DSL!!!
I've only tried it a couple times but I recommend going to here http://www.junefabrics.com/pdanet/index.php and download a trial version.
WMWiFiRouter
I second the vote for WMWiFiRouter. I used it on my Mogul and now on my TP2 (both with Sprint) -- no issues whatsoever -- more importantly, no tethering fees.
For me now, when i use USB or Bluetooth over ICS, my browser has to go to 3g.vzwdun.com. It didn't use to do that before. How can I keep the device from reporting that I'm tethering...
Hello ppl,
First of all please excuse my bad English and sorry if my thread is annoying (since there are many similar threads here), but my case is a bit different.
Before everything let say I have "stock" Leo and PC (without built in bluetooth - it will be external dongle) with Windows Server 2003 (tweaked as workstation).
So, let say I have such case - I am turning on my pc and OS booting stops on login screen, here I want to enter my password not with my pc's keyboard but with my Leo (i.e. my Leo will be wireless keyboard). I have read some threads here and I guess I can do this using wifi connection, Remote Desktop Mobile tool on Leo, and with enabled Remote Desktop on my PC. The most interesting question to me is - can I do this with bluetooth connection?! As I already said bluetooth on my pc will be external (powered by application like BlueSoleil or similar) which means (I guess) that bluetooth connection will not be available when Win booting is paused with login screen (application like BlueSoleil will not be loaded yet). Once I am logged in will be good if I can use my Leo not only as wireless keyboard, but also as mouse, media remote control and so on
I made a lil research and found some remote applications like GRemote but I guess this is also not an option since such applications will not be loaded (before OS booting finalization) too. I have read a lil about Bluetooth PAN, but still not sure that this can be my solution.
I will be so grateful for any info, ideas and help!
Thanks in advance!
